Over the course of this week, countless battles broke out in the Inter-Academy Tournament. Every time a Spirit Gathering Altar emerged, it would attract the prying eyes of numerous academies, which would then escalate into another fierce fight.Amid these constant battles, more and more students with formidable strength began to stand out. They soon gained fame across the tournament and drew attention from all parties.Among them, Albert—the Dual Soul user from Newhurst Academy—shone the brightest.Some enthusiasts even hailed him as the fourth top contender for the championship in this First-Star Academy Inter-Academy Tournament.However, Albert didn’t care much about such fame. After all, what he desired was not merely the title of fourth championship contender; his goal was the title of Strongest Student of the First-Star Academy.The reason was simple: he coveted the Divine Tree Golden Emblem.Of course, there was also the task assigned by Emily.Besides, that Owen still needed to

That guy really knows how to show off, Adam curled his lips and said, his tone tinged with a hint of jealousy.It had to be admitted that Owen was extremely eye-catching at this moment. He was already handsome in appearance, and now he ascended on the wind under the gaze of thousands—truly exuding an air of elegance like a jade tree standing in the wind, as if he were a celestial being. Many female students looked at him with bright, starry eyes.However, the others paid no attention to this. What they cared more about was waiting to see if Owen could withstand the first wave of the energy torrent from the Spirit Gathering Altar.Under the watch of countless eyes, after more than ten breaths, Owen’s figure landed on the staircase.The moment his feet touched it, a deafening roar resounded between heaven and earth. On the staircase, a brilliant energy torrent roared down directly, like an enraged dragon charging along the steps. Its momentum alone was enough to make ordinary people tur

On another island, Nikolai tilted her fair, delicate face upward, also gazing at Albert’s figure.is this the guy—Albert, the one with dual souls—who’s been making such a huge buzz lately? He’s really good-looking, a pretty female student beside Nikolai asked curiously.Nikolai nodded and replied, Judging from the Soul Power flowing around him, his souls should be of the Water Element and Wood Element. But looking at the purity of his Soul Power and the aura it exudes, they’re at most a 7-Star Soul and a 6-Star Soul.Nikolai herself, however, possessed two 7-Star Souls.In terms of soul rank, she was one step ahead of Albert.Do you think he’ll succeed?Nikolai’s face was as cold as ice—obviously, Albert’s good looks had no effect on her. She still spoke in a calm tone, That depends on how well he’s mastered the power of his dual souls. Besides, he’s only at the Second Stage of a High-Rank Soul Master; he still has a disadvantage when it comes to Soul Power.And even if he gets through

Some couldn’t help but gloat. After all, they weren’t qualified to access the Spirit-Gathering Altar clusters, so they were naturally happy to see others end up in a predicament like theirs.As for the countless onlooking eyes eager for a show from outside, Albert acted as if he hadn’t noticed them at all. Of course, he had seen Owen and the other two advancing rapidly—he also understood that this was due to their advantage of having more abundant Soul Power. However, he wasn’t in a hurry, for he wasn’t unprepared.Albert kept stepping upward, and from time to time, he swung the Golden Jade Saber in his hand. The sharp saber light tore through parts of the roaring energy torrent.At the same time, on his other palm, water-light Soul Power continued to gather. As his hand seals changed, faint glimmers of water light seemed to flicker faintly.After a period of testing, Albert finally figured out the mechanism of the Cloud-Climbing Staircase: each wave of the energy torrent would last fo

A tearing sound rang out at this moment, and countless people’s expressions changed drastically—for they saw that even the Cloud-Climbing Staircase itself had been torn open by this single wind blade, leaving a deep gash.As for the oncoming energy torrent, it was even split cleanly in two.Such terrifying destructive power!With the energy torrent cut apart, Owen took a step forward. His feet seemed to tread on wind as he darted forward, heading straight for the Spirit-Gathering Bell standing before the Advanced Spirit-Gathering Altar at the end of the staircase.Gasps of amazement echoed across the islands. With this move alone, Owen had revealed just how terrifying his true strength was.And at the exact moment Owen tore through the energy torrent, many eyes were also fixed on Albert’s side.When the energy torrent surged toward him, Albert, as expected, unleashed his Water Mirror Technique once more. The massive water mirror collided with the energy torrent; it shattered in an ins
