The "Soul Hunter Squad" taught the Northern Academy team a lesson, shattering the pride and complacency of some of its members and making them realize that it wasn't the Beidi team that was strong, but only a few individuals!
In all three matches, Yan Jin found the breakthrough point, and in the third match, she even carried the team by fighting two opponents alone; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to win at all.
This also allowed Sun Boyuan, who originally didn't have much presence, to finally find an opportunity to show his face.
He stood in front of everyone and nodded to Yan Jin:
"Very good, Yan Jin, your performance this time was excellent, impeccable! As for the rest of you, you became complacent after two victories.
"And you should have also realized that although they have one more Soul Ring than you, their strength isn't that much greater; they just have more combat experience.
"Especially you three, Bi Da'er, Ilya, and Brady, your performance in the third match can even be described as terrible.
"Bing Lan at least managed to hold off her opponent, but your side almost became a breakthrough point for them. If it weren't for Yan Jin's active cooperation, the final outcome wouldn't have been like this."
Sun Boyuan's words made Bi Da'er and the others feel uncomfortable because they were true.
"It was our mistake this time; there won't be a next time," Brady said coldly, his face not looking too good.
Bi Da'er nodded: "That's right, we were too focused on protecting ourselves and didn't have the spirit of fighting to the death."
Ilya adjusted her expression, and a smile reappeared on her face. She said in a silver bell-like voice:
"That won't do. If my performance isn't good enough, I won't be able to gain everyone's approval."
Sun Boyuan didn't say anything more. Teamwork couldn't be developed in just one or two attempts. Being able to see Yan Jin and the others cooperate when they encountered difficulties was enough. It proved that they weren't completely self-centered.
As for Amon, who didn't participate, there wasn't much he could say. Sun Boyuan still vividly remembered Amon and Romier's Soul Fusion Skill. That terrifying power was enough to dominate the arena during a match.
However, the Soul Fusion Skill consumed too much energy, and he didn't know how long it could last. Moreover, the attack power was too strong, so he had to be careful not to kill the opponent.
After seeing that the team members had adjusted their mindset, Sun Boyuan nodded in satisfaction:
"Being able to recognize your shortcomings in time proves that the academy hasn't wasted its resources on you. Rest well tomorrow; there's another match the day after."
After Sun Boyuan left, the few of them smiled at each other. Although it was just a small cooperation, the relationship between the team members seemed to have improved a lot.
Ilya was thoughtful… Indeed, a common enemy was the best way to enhance internal unity.
After resting for a day, when they stepped into the Great Soul Arena again, they were surprised by the scene inside.
The Soul Arena, which had been packed with people a few days ago, was now empty. There wasn't a single spectator, and even the staff inside the arena were nowhere to be seen.
"Did we come at the wrong time?" Bi Da'er frowned in confusion.
"No, it's impossible for so many people to have remembered incorrectly," Gong Chengyun pondered, holding his chin.
"Speaking of which, some travelers from other places have been leaving one after another since yesterday. Could it be over already? But the notice we received said there were four matches."
Lei Yin scratched the back of his head, not quite understanding the situation.
A familiar voice came from another entrance: "Good morning, everyone."
Yu Xinxue, wearing a white, close-fitting outfit, walked over while yawning.
Behind her were six other teachers: Zhu Youzhi, Rona, Tajis, Tian Honghai, as well as the homeroom teachers of Class 2 and Class 3 of the third grade, Xiong Shiming and Pan Dezheng.
Seeing that the teachers were all wearing clothes that were easy to move in and had inexplicable smiles on their faces, Bi Da'er and the others had a hint of astonishment on their faces.
Brady revealed a stiff smile: "You're kidding, right?"
Bing Lan, who usually didn't have much expression, also showed a hint of surprise.
Romier picked his ear, "Okay, it's indeed an unprecedentedly strong enemy."
Only Yan Jin, a gleam of excitement flashed in her dark red eyes, "Hahaha… This is more like it; it didn't disappoint my expectations."
The last team they had to face was composed of the teachers of Northern Academy!
None of them were below the Soul King level, and the leader was Yu Xinxue, who was at the Soul Emperor level!
"Oh, by the way, I'll tell you something. I also broke through to the Soul Emperor level not long ago," Zhu Youzhi said with a smile, making Ilya and the others, who were already in a heavy mood, even less motivated to fight.
For this battle, no one actually had any expectations for the Beidi team. An average difference of nearly two Soul Rings was enough to render any genius helpless.
Since the start of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, no team has been able to face such a lineup.
The first three teams were the ones they really needed to defeat, while today's battle was more of a test.
"My team doesn't allow failure," a gentle voice came.
Amon, wearing a black robe and a pointed soft hat, walked in. He pinched the monocle on his right eye, a smile on his face.
"Amon?" Yan Jin was also a little surprised by the return of this almost missing person.
"What's wrong? You don't need to show such surprised expressions, right? As the captain, I will also be on stage," Amon said with a light smile.
"You arrange it," Bi Da'er nodded to him.
When Amon was absent, Bi Da'er basically served as the vice-captain. The previous starting lineups were also decided by him and Sun Boyuan.
"Yan Jin, Lei Yin, Romier, Bi Da'er, Ilya, Bing Lan," Amon called out all the official members and stepped onto the stage.
At this time, there were only five people in the audience: Zhong Yuming, the principal of Beidi Academy, Sun Boyuan, the team's instructor, and three substitute members.
"Let me see what kind of growth you've had in the past six months," Zhong Yuming looked at Amon with a smile on his face.
He was full of confidence in today's Northern Academy team and had great hope of winning the championship, even if their opponents included the Spirit Hall's "Golden Generation."
Yu Xinxue stood on the other side of the arena, looking at her nominal student with a malicious smile on her face:
"Amon, I remember that you haven't attended a single class in almost three years!
"Even a troublemaker like Yan Jin knows to show up occasionally… As your teacher, I've long wanted to give you some guidance."
Facing Yu Xinxue's aura locking onto him, Amon's smile remained unchanged:
"Then let's just treat this as after-school guidance."
Both sides arranged their formations, and Zhong Yuming acted as the referee. He said lightly, "Start when you're ready."
Romier activated his Soul in the first time, condensing… a chair behind Amon.
"Captain, please sit down."
