In a quiet corner of the spectator stands, Yu Xiaogang sat with his brows tightly furrowed, his eyes fixed on the arena where only Lin Xue remained standing.
The host's voice announcing the victory of Monster Academy still echoed in his mind.
"How could this Lin Xue from Monster Academy possess such formidable soul power at the Soul Ancestor level? This completely contradicts my martial soul theories."
Yu Xiaogang muttered in deep thought.
Beside him, Tang San stayed silent, his attention not on Lin Xue's soul power but on sothing else entirely. Inwardly, his mind was on guard.
Just now, he had sensed a peculiar force emanating from Lin Xue's eyes. It was strikingly similar to his own Purple Demon Eye.
Facing such eyes, Tang San realized his Purple Demon Eye might not hold the advantage. He quietly warned himself: I must be cautious when dealing with her in the future.

Monster Academy Rest Area, Second Floor
Lin Xue had just returned from the arena.
"Sister Lin Xue, you were incredible out there! The mont you released that mist, you controlled all seven mbers of the Godwind Team at once!"
Ma Hongjun waved his fists enthusiastically, mimicking Lin Xue's motions as he congratulated her.
"Hahaha! You little brat know nothing. That's called soul power control."
Dugu Yan smacked her fist down on Ma Hongjun's head, correcting him.
At the sight of Ma Hongjun's pained expression, the whole room burst out laughing. Even Lin Feng, who had been resting silently on the side, couldn't help but smile as he watched them.
Suddenly—Knock knock!
The heavy door of the rest chamber echoed with knocks.
"Who is it?" Flender strode to the door, his tone sharp.
"At this ti? Who would be visiting us?" he muttered suspiciously under his breath.
With a creak, the door opened.
"Teacher!"
A young man in a cyan robe blinked in surprise at the sight of Flender, quickly clasping his hands in greeting.
"Qin Ming? What are you doing here?" Flender asked in confusion.
The na imdiately caught Zhao Wuji's attention. He hurried over, surprise written across his face.
"Qin Ming? You're here too?"
"Teacher Zhao!" Qin Ming greeted with respect before explaining, "I'm currently serving as the instructor for Heaven Dou Academy's battle team. When I heard Monster Academy had won just now, I ca to offer my congratulations."
"I see… Well then, co in."
Qin Ming entered, closing the door behind him. His gaze swept across the room, pausing briefly on the graceful Liu Erlong and the ever-calm Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
"Senior Dugu, Senior Liu."
Both nodded faintly in acknowledgent.
"Lin Feng—or rather, Vice-Dean Lin." Qin Ming quickly corrected himself as he turned to greet him.
"Teacher Qin, please co in." Lin Feng extended his hand warmly. "It's been several years since we last t at Heaven Dou Academy."
"Yes," Qin Ming said with a smile. "I still rember Lin Feng once tried to recruit to Monster Academy. Seeing today's match, I must admit—Monster Academy's strength is truly extraordinary."
As he spoke, Qin Ming couldn't suppress his admiration. Then, setting down the teapot he had picked up, he asked directly:
"Young Master Lin, does Monster Academy still have room for teachers?"
Hearing this, Lin Feng chuckled inwardly. As he had expected, witnessing Monster Academy's strength had finally stirred Qin Ming's resolve.
"Of course. Monster Academy has never turned away excellence—especially not a student once taught by Teachers Flender and Zhao Wuji." Lin Feng's gaze shifted appreciatively toward the two Shrek veterans.
"Young Master, you overpraise us," Flander and Zhao Wuji scratched their heads awkwardly. "Compared to Monster Academy's thods, our teaching falls short."
But deep inside, both were secretly pleased that Lin Feng valued them so highly. It strengthened their resolve to work even harder for the academy.
"Then it's settled," Qin Ming said excitedly. "Once this Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournant ends, I'll resign from Heaven Dou Academy and join Monster Academy."
"Welco aboard." Lin Feng shook his hand firmly. With this, Monster Academy's first victory has already made waves.
"Great! Another teacher has joined Monster Academy!" Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, and the others cheered happily.

Tournant Arena
After several grueling rounds, the host's voice once again bood through the microphone:
"Ladies and gentlen, the fourth round of the qualifiers has just concluded! Skywater Academy's overwhelming victory brought us an exciting match. Now, the fifth round of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournant is about to begin!"
"Please welco Blazing Academy and Thunderclap Academy!"
"Blazing! Blazing!"
"Thunderclap! Victory!"
The crowd erupted into deafening chants as the two teams, seven mbers each, stepped onto the stage.
"Blazing Academy… nothing but last year's defeated losers."
The captain of Thunderclap Academy, Yu Tianming, sneered as four soul rings—two yellow, two purple—rose around him.
"Soul Avatar: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!"
"Yu Tianming, Rank 43, Attack Type Soul Ancestor!"
As his right arm swelled, his sleeve ripped apart, turning to ash. His arm lengthened, muscles bulged, and deep blue-violet scales covered it completely. Electric serpents of blue and purple slithered across his arm, crackling with thunderous energy.
"Last year, our academy lost to yours," a calm yet sharp voice countered.
Xiao Huo, captain of Blazing Academy, smirked as his own four rings—two yellow, two purple—lit beneath his feet. His eyes glowed with icy determination.
"But that doesn't an this year will be the sa."
Years of training under Monster Academy's guidance had taught them one truth: those stronger than you exist only to drive you forward.
"Soul Avatar: Netherfla!"
"Xiao Huo, Rank 44, Attack System Soul Ancestor. Please advise!"
The mont his words fell, blue fire engulfed his entire body, his calm eyes burning with ghostly azure flas. The chilling aura dropped the arena's temperature instantly.
"Unbelievable! Captain Xiao Huo has reached Rank 44! This is the first ti Blazing Academy has fielded a Soul Ancestor in this tournant!" The host's voice rang with excitent.
"Brothers, let's show them Blazing Academy's true strength!"
"Yes, Captain!"
"Soul Avatar: Flowing Fire!"
"Deputy Captain Liu Huo, Rank 43, Attack Type Soul Ancestor!"
Red flas roared upward, shrouding Liu Huo entirely as his rings glead beneath him.
"Soul Beast: Fire Spark! Rank 41, Support Type Soul Ancestor."
Delicate sparks drifted gracefully from the fingertips of Huo Yaner as she smiled gently.
"Soul Avatar…"
One by one, the remaining four mbers of Blazing Academy released their martial souls, igniting the battlefield with blazing heat.
