"Alright, it's time for you to enter the arena!"
Qi Lin looked at the staff member who jogged over from a distance with a respectful expression.
The Heaven Dou Academy team was the face of the Heaven Dou Empire to the outside world, so their entry order was naturally at the very front.
Although they had not yet entered the Great Spirit Arena, the Heaven Dou Academy team members could already feel the earth-shattering roars coming from inside.
Xiao Wu giggled and said, "Xiao Lin Ge, just watch how we perform later. We'll definitely blow everyone away and let everyone know how amazing we are."
The other members of the Heaven Dou Academy sub-team also showed a hint of excitement in their eyes.
Why did they participate in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament? Wasn't it to show off in front of others and make a name for themselves?
If it wasn't for these things, would it just be for that small baronet?
Qi Lin looked at their spirited appearance and joked, "Then I'll look forward to your performance from the stands!"
Shi Mo and Shi Mo, the two brothers, said in a muffled voice, "Teacher Qi Lin, just you wait and see. We will definitely not disappoint you."
Speaking of which, today's Heaven Dou Academy sub-team could be said to be dominated by females, as besides the two brothers Shi Mo and Shi Mo, all the others were girls.
At this time, the staff members on the arena had also arrived and led everyone into the Great Spirit Arena.
And just after they entered, while Qi Lin was preparing to find a random area to watch the match, a woman with a delicate appearance walked up to him and respectfully bowed.
"Marquis Qi Lin, Crown Prince has invited you to the VIP platform to watch the match!"
"Oh, is that so? Alright, you lead the way then!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Lin did not refuse.
The viewing experience on the VIP platform was definitely much better than in ordinary seats.
Since he could enjoy it, why suffer?
Soon, the woman led Qi Lin to the second row of the VIP platform.
Many of Qi Lin's acquaintances were sitting in the second row of the VIP platform.
For example, the three deans of Heaven Dou Academy, Qian Renxue, Dugu Bo, and so on.
In addition, there were several people with different appearances sitting in the second row.
Besides the second row, the third row was occupied by some high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the Heaven Dou Empire.
And the first row only had three seats!
The person sitting in the middle was wearing a golden-red robe, a golden diamond crown on his head, his face was like an ancient moon, his appearance was old, and he exuded an invisible majestic aura.
Although Qi Lin was seeing him for the first time, he knew his identity.
The Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, Emperor Xue Ye!
The people on the left and right sides of Emperor Xue Ye were Salas, the Hall Master of the Spirit Hall Heaven Dou City Branch, and Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
When Qi Lin arrived at the VIP platform, he instantly attracted the attention of many people.
Even the three people in the first row of the VIP platform looked over.
Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "Xiao Lin, you're here!"
He used to call Qi Lin Teacher Qi Lin, but after spending time together and considering the relationship between Ning Rongrong and him, Ning Fengzhi took the opportunity to change his address to get closer to Qi Lin.
It would be best if Qi Lin could become his son-in-law!
As for Qi Lin being entangled with multiple women, this was nothing to Ning Fengzhi.
When he was young, he was entangled with more than just three or five women.
Dugu Bo and Qian Renxue also greeted Qi Lin.
"You must be Marquis Qi Lin. As expected, heroes emerge from the young generation. It's no wonder Crown Prince and Sect Master Ning have mentioned you to me several times."
"It is the fortune of the Heaven Dou Empire to be able to produce such a young prodigy like you!"
Emperor Xue Ye looked at Qi Lin with a kind smile.
Because Qi Lin taught at Heaven Dou Academy and was friends with Crown Prince and Ning Fengzhi, Emperor Xue Ye naturally included Qi Lin in the Heaven Dou Empire's faction. While speaking, he did not forget to glance at Salas.
"Your Excellency Salas, wouldn't you agree?"
Emperor Xue Ye's expression was calm, but there was a hint of deep meaning in his eyes, as if to say, 'My Heaven Dou Empire has such a genius, aren't you angry?'
But unfortunately, Salas's expression was very calm, and he even smiled at Qi Lin and agreed.
"Your Majesty is right. A prodigy like Teacher Qi Lin is probably the only one in the entire continent in a thousand years."
"It's truly enviable that the Heaven Dou Empire has such a genius!"
Hearing Salas say this, both Emperor Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi showed surprise in their eyes.
Was this still the Salas they remembered?
Could it be that he also wanted to win over Qi Lin on behalf of Spirit Hall?
Or was he wary of the mysterious powerful person behind Qi Lin?
However, no matter which reason it was, they could not let Qi Lin lean towards Spirit Hall.
At this time, Xue Qinghe, who was disguised as Qian Renxue in the second row, smiled and said, "Brother Qi Lin, come sit here!"
After speaking, she pointed to the empty seat specially reserved for Qi Lin next to her.
"Alright, thank you, Brother Xue, for saving a seat for me."
After speaking, he walked over without hesitation and sat down.
Then the two of them began to chat in low voices, ignoring the people around them.
Emperor Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi in the first row of the VIP platform saw this, exchanged glances, smiled, and nodded.
Seeing that Qi Lin and "Xue Qinghe" had such a harmonious and friendly relationship, the two of them felt relieved.
It seemed that Qi Lin had no reason to favor Spirit Hall, otherwise he wouldn't have such a good relationship with Crown Prince.
But how could they know that the current Xue Qinghe was actually disguised by Qian Renxue?
Qi Lin chatted with Qian Renxue for a while, and the latter suddenly pointed to the wide area below and smiled, "Brother Qi Lin, look, the Heaven Dou Academy team is entering."
On the rostrum, a master of ceremonies made a grand introduction, and then said loudly:
"Next, please welcome the first team, the Heaven Dou Academy main team!"
As the words fell, Yu Feng walked at the front of the team, leading the Heaven Dou Academy main team from the edge of the arena.
The moment she clearly saw the Heaven Dou Academy main team, Qian Renxue was stunned and looked at Qi Lin beside her.
"Brother Qi Lin, they are the main team of Heaven Dou Academy?"
Qi Lin grinned.
"Yes, are you surprised!"
Qian Renxue heard Qi Lin's response and chuckled, "I am quite surprised, Brother Qi Lin is truly quick-witted."
Qi Lin smiled. He didn't think that much, he just wanted Xiao Wu and the others to have a good display under everyone's gaze and satisfy their urge to show off in front of others.
Working so hard to cultivate, wouldn't it be a waste not to show off!
In the first row of the VIP platform, Emperor Xue Ye did not know the members of the Heaven Dou Academy team, he only knew that Ning Fengzhi's daughter was one of the members of the Heaven Dou Academy team and had extremely high talent.
So he smiled at Ning Fengzhi and said, "Sect Master Ning, your precious daughter is in the main team, right?"
"Which one is that girl, point her out for me."
Ning Fengzhi's expression did not change much after seeing the lineup of the Heaven Dou Academy main team, he just smiled calmly.
Then he explained to Emperor Xue Ye.
After listening to Ning Fengzhi's explanation, Emperor Xue Ye was first stunned, and then applauded.
"Marquis Qi Lin is indeed exceptionally talented. With this, won't both of my Heaven Dou Academy teams be able to enter the finals?"
The other spectators on the VIP platform were also surprised by Qi Lin's clever move after hearing Ning Fengzhi's explanation.
He was too confident, wasn't he afraid that the Heaven Dou Academy sub-team wouldn't be able to enter the finals?
