The curtain finally fell for the annual competition. However, the entire Cloud Sea Academy was still immersed in the intense battle from before.

A man who hadn't had any soul power for ten years had suddenly used a shocking method to tell everyone that he was not just a piece of trash, but a favored son of heaven.

With Xia Ze's addition of a soul beast, he could almost stand shoulder to shoulder with a half-step Soul Essence Realm warrior, and it was even harder to find a match for him within the Soul Duo Realm. However, no one could have imagined that a person possessing such strength would actually lose to the most useless Xia Hun Wu in the entire city, and even lose an arm.

No wonder Xia Hun Wu was named by Xia Yuan as the candidate for the Soul Suppressing Orb. Unfortunately, besides Xia Yuan, there seemed to be no one else in the Xia Clan that recognized this piece of gold inlaid jade.

Xia He's face was gloomy, although he still managed to keep his spot, but Xia Ze's loss of an arm would definitely be detrimental to his future development. However, he was not an idiot, not to mention Zhou Huai's current posture, he would definitely protect Xia Hun Wu to the death. With just the two of them, they could easily crush the Xia clan.

After Xia Hun Wu and Xia Ze had rested for a while, their physical strength had gradually recovered. However, Xia Ze's expression was extremely ugly. The rage that surged out from his eyes made no one doubt that he wanted to crush Xia Hun Wu.

Under countless gazes, Old Feng and Old Lei waved their hands forward. Under countless envious gazes, Xia Hengwu, Xia Ze, Su Ling, and the other participants slowly walked towards the stage.

"Today, the final results of the Qualifying Competition in the Cloud Sea City will be decided."

Elder Feng Lei and Elder Lei glanced at Xia Hun Wu and the other two before saying, "Originally, there were only three spots in the past, but this year there has been a slight change."

Old Feng turned his gaze to Zhou Yao and said, "You lost to Xia Ze. According to the Five Great Academies' selection, you have already lost your qualifications to enter the Five Great Academies."

Zhou Yao's originally pale face had turned even paler. His face was filled with bitterness.

"However, your perseverance and bravery are worthy of praise, and your talent is not bad either. Thus, this old man discussed with Old Lei and gave you a chance. As an honorary disciple of me and Old Lei, I'll take Xia Hun Wu's place. Old Feng slowly said.

Hearing this, Zhou Yao was stunned for a moment before he excitedly nodded his head. However, his excitement soon died down!

"He's qualified to replace Xia Hew-wu?" Then does Xia Hun Wu not have the qualifications to choose one of the Five Great Academies? "

Zhou Yao immediately asked.

"You have a good disposition, kid. Don't worry, we will arrange everything for Xia Hun Wu to possess such a heaven-defying talent!" Elder Lei couldn't help but chuckle.

If an ordinary person heard that they had the qualifications to choose one of the Five Great Academies, they would have the mood to decide who to replace.

Hearing this, Zhou Yao's face turned red as his entire face turned red. Promptly, he bowed and said: "Thank you, Old Feng, Old Lei!"

Elder Feng Lei nodded at the same time. He looked at Su Ling and said, "Little girl, I thought you had fire type soul power, but I don't mind if you go to the Phoenix Sky Courtyard!"

"Phoenix Sky Courtyard?" Su Ling was stunned.

The five great academies surrounded the twelve super empires. They did not belong to any of the empires and were all independent individuals. They were respectively Eastsky, Feng Tian, Mysterious Spirit, Green Sky, and Holy Spirit, which were known as the Five Great Academies.

It was said that the Heavenly Phoenix Courtyard possessed a heaven-rank soul beast, 'Heavenly Phoenix'. Therefore, students of other attributes would be restrained by the fire attribute once they entered the academy, especially for those of the ice attribute.

Thus, when recruiting students, as long as they had fire-attribute soul power, they would generally recommend entering the Skysoul Institute.

As for the other four courtyards, they also possessed heaven-rank soul beasts. However, outsiders would never know that the five academies' fame was derived from these heaven-rank soul beasts.

"Little girl, how is your thinking?!" Elder Feng looked at Su Ling. Before he came, Feng Tian Yuan had specially greeted him. Out of consideration for face, if he didn't recall any of them to the Heavenly Phoenix Courtyard, it wouldn't be good for him to make an acquaintance. After all, he couldn't afford to offend that crazy woman from the Heavenly Phoenix Courtyard.

Su Ling did not hesitate and immediately nodded. She had long since heard of the Ancient Phoenix Courtyard. Even if Elder Feng did not say anything, she would have gone to the Ancient Phoenix Courtyard.

Seeing this, a large stone in Old Feng's heart finally dropped. He turned to the two young men and asked, "What is your choice?"

"I'm leaving with Brother Hun Wu!" Zhou Yao looked at Zhou Huai for a moment, then turned his head to Xia Hun Wu. It was clear that he had received Zhou Huai's instructions.

"I choose the Mysterious Sky Institute." Xia Ze thought for a moment and then said. Even though the Five Great Academies were the top academies on the Soul Martial Continent, the Mysterious Sky Institute was still a place that he wanted to go. Even the allure of the Ancient Phoenix Academy was not as great as the Mysterious Sky Academy, because there, were the things that he wanted.

Elder Feng glanced at Xia Ze, but didn't say anything in response. He nodded his head, then turned his gaze towards Xia Soul. "I said that Zhou Yao is going to replace you. Aren't you afraid that you don't have the qualifications to choose?"

Following Old Feng's question, the surrounding crowd also shifted their gaze to Xia Hewitnesses. As the strongest person in the selection, naturally, there was a reason for Old Feng's words.

"Old Feng must be joking. Kid, just listen to Old Feng's instructions." Xia Hun Wu lightly smiled. However, his trembling little hand showed the unease in his heart.

"Have you heard of the Twelve Soul Paths?" It was obvious that Old Feng was very satisfied with Xia Hengwu, so he did not plan to beat around the bush as he chuckled.

"Twelve Souls Road? As long as you come out of the Twelve Soul Roads, you'll be able to obtain the right to become a Soul Suppressing General. Hearing this, Xia Hun Wu also took a deep breath and said to Old Feng.

He admired Xia Hun Wu's current expression, and immediately said: "As long as you enter the Eastern Heavens Academy and raise your cultivation level to the 3rd level of the Soul Origin Stage, you will be able to obtain the qualifications to enter the 12 Soul Road. The five great academies only have one place in each year!"

When Xia Ze heard about the 12 Soul Road, his eyes filled with jealousy and hatred. He was extremely unwilling to accept this. Obviously, the right to participate in the 12 Soul Road was his.

Upon hearing these words, Xia Hengwu pursed his lips as Old Mu's voice rang out in his mind.

"Brat, there's no need to think about it. Just go to the Eastern Heavens Academy. There are many Earth Rank Demonic Beasts living in the Eastern Blue Mountain Range. Furthermore, there are even things that you would not expect."

"Earth-rank demon beast?" In order to restore the Twin Dragons of the Abyss to their peak earth-step state, one must possess a Demonic Core from an Earth-step Demonic Beast.

Having made his decision in his heart, Xia Hengwu immediately let out a deep sigh. He tried his best to calm his heart as he lightly smiled in front of Old Feng and Old Lei and said: "Then, I'll choose the Eastern Heavens Academy!"
