Chapter 101: Torrential Rain, Unpredictable Match Prospects
In the past two days, undercurrents have been surging within Wuhun City.
This time, however, the research and information about Su Chen were presented with the highest standards in the documents of various factions.
Anyway, Lao Ma made a fortune by relying on the information Su Chen gave him.
The second phase of the papal enthronement ceremony also began at this time.
"The weather isn't very nice today."
The arena for the competition is located on a plain about forty miles from Wuhun City.
The weather was gloomy, with dark clouds overhead and a humid, hot atmosphere filling the air.
However, thanks to the Spirit Hall's extensive use of lighting soul tools, the competition venue remained brightly lit.
Furthermore, rain shelters were installed above all the audience seats, demonstrating the utmost thoughtfulness.
In any case, the people who came to watch the game had a very good impression of it.
"It looks like it's going to rain, or rather, it's going to rain heavily. Why not add a rain shelter to the field?"
In the pre-match lounge, Yin Luo looked at the rolling dark clouds, covered his head with plasters, and said somewhat dejectedly.
Unsurprisingly, after he returned, he was nearly beaten to death by the old man because of his performance at the Tianshui Academy's headquarters.
If he hadn't kept his mouth shut and hadn't had to participate in the competition, he probably would have had two legs broken.
Even so, Yin Luo did not regret it, and said with a wronged tone, "Who could resist that kind of temptation?"
Of course, this only resulted in an even more severe beating.
"Elder Ju sent people to discuss it, but several factions said they didn't want to."
Su Chen took off his black-rimmed glasses, put away the paper covered in writing, and responded calmly.
These past two days he's been busy censoring his cultivation method again and again, for use in negotiations with other forces.
To be honest, this is actually a bit of a hassle for him.
Getting a perfect score on a casual test is vastly different from precisely controlling every test score to 9.8.
Fortunately, it took some time, but we managed to get it done.
"Yes, that's true, after all, we are Soul Masters."
Yin Luo sighed.
If my wounds get wet from the rain, they'll probably hurt terribly.
What a sin.
"But in this weather, whoever gets rainwater in their lottery draw will be in big trouble, won't they?"
On second thought, Yin Luo laughed gleefully.
"The difficulty increases exponentially."
The field advantage is significant for Soul Masters, especially for a pure water-type Soul Master like Tianshui.
In heavy rain, their level of danger is much higher than under normal circumstances, and even those with great strength are very likely to crash and burn.
"Yeah, yeah, I wonder which team will be the unlucky one."
The others also laughed.
A dozen minutes later, looking at the eye-catching Spirit Hall team vs. Tianshui Academy team on the draw slip, Yin Luo and the others fell silent.
So, it turns out we were the unlucky ones all along?
"You really are a jinx."
Su Chen sighed helplessly, looking at Yin Luo's mournful face.
"If a fight breaks out, you'd better protect yourselves."
Splash!
The rain was torrential, the air was thick with moisture, and visibility was extremely low.
The boy reached out his hand, feeling the dense raindrops falling, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Just as Yin Luo said, water-type soul masters will receive a great boost in this kind of weather.
However, Tianshui is not the only Soul Master who knows how to use water.
"Welcome everyone to watch this competition. I'm your host, Sisi."
"I am Kao Kao."
Despite the inclement weather, it did not dampen the audience's enthusiasm in the slightest.
Moreover, due to the buzz generated by the first match, more and more people are paying attention, and the stadium has seen an influx of spectators who have come specifically for the event over the past two days.
Cheers resounded through the sky, and the host waved in the air with an umbrella over his head.
"Well then, the first round of the draw is over. Please enter the venue in an orderly manner!"
Amidst waves of cheers, the winning teams from the first round entered the arena, elevating the atmosphere to a new level.
Especially when Su Chen appeared with the Spirit Hall team, the cheers from the crowd became even more exaggerated.
Clearly, the performance in the first match, which could be described as shocking to the world, silenced all the doubters.
"Wow, our Holy Prince is quite popular! Let's see who his opponent is today!"
Sisi spoke with a smile, then pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth.
"It's actually the Tianshui Academy team!"
"Wow, wow, it seems like today's outcome isn't so simple after all."
If it were any of the other four elemental academies, then this would be a battle with a predetermined outcome.
In the midst of a chaotic battle involving hundreds of people, Shenfeng Academy was no match for the Spirit Hall, or rather, Su Chen. What could the other equally renowned Elemental Academies possibly do?
But Tianshui is different today.
This natural torrential rain would leave any force struggling, and its effectiveness would likely be greatly affected.
If it were Tianshui instead, it would undoubtedly come with a huge natural buff.
With the tides turning and the tides shifting, even the undisputed champion teams, Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus and Star Luo Empire, have to be on high alert.
"Damn it, with this kind of visibility, Su Chen's trick won't work."
"Yes, yes, our vision is blocked and our voices are muffled, making it very difficult to get close."
"Looks like things are going to go wrong!"
"Don't be so pessimistic, maybe another miracle will happen?"
"Dude, use your brain when watching the game. In this kind of environment, facing at least two water-type Soul Masters, even Yu Tianlong would be defeated, okay? No matter how powerful Su Chen is, he's still just a Great Soul Master."
"I think you're right."
The audience was abuzz with discussion, but most remained pessimistic.
The rain was so heavy that it affected many things.
What do you all think?
In the VIP seats, Prince Xingluo looked at Ning Fengzhi and the others with a smile and asked a question.
He originally thought this was a battle with a predetermined outcome, but the heavy rain made things unpredictable and uncertain.
Haha, thank goodness you didn't agree to install rain shelters, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to witness such a spectacular scene.
I wonder if Bibi Dong regrets it now?
Looking at that stunningly beautiful figure from behind, the prince felt a surge of schadenfreude in his heart.
"Sigh, I still believe in His Highness the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall. This little bit of rain is nothing."
Yu Yuanzhen made no attempt to hide the schadenfreude on his face. Looking at the silent Pope, he felt a great sense of relief.
He's been really worried these past few days. He just can't think of a suitable solution for that soul skill called Flying Thunder God.
If this kid gets eliminated here, then our Tianlong team will be guaranteed to win the championship.
Bibi Dong, this time you've really shot yourself in the foot.
"Nothing is certain, who knows?"
Xue Qinghe's smile was somewhat forced. Looking at the arena, which was almost shrouded in moisture, she couldn't help but feel worried.
