Chapter 128 The Grand Tournament is Imminent
Has Unity returned?
Dean Liang hurriedly ran into the special dormitory building where Wu Heyi and the others were located.
Mi'er, who was standing guard at the door, saw Dean Liang coming from afar and quickly stood up and walked forward to welcome him into the conference room.
At this moment, a group of people were sitting in the spacious conference room, each with a solemn expression on their face.
Among them are Dugu Yan, Yu Tianheng, Ye Lingling, Wu Miaomiao, Lin Bei, and the two brothers from the Shi family.
Let's go back a month. At that time, Wu Heyi left only a letter and went out alone.
Meanwhile, Mi'er and Wu Miaomiao each led their teams out to hunt for spirit rings, hoping to improve the overall strength of the team.
However, a month later, when the other six returned to the academy, they were fully prepared and ready to go together to participate in the upcoming Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament.
Unexpectedly, three whole days passed, and Wu Heyi remained missing and had not returned.
Now everyone was getting restless and increasingly anxious. After all, Wu Heyi was of extraordinary significance to this team; he could be considered the core figure for everyone.
At first, even Dean Liang couldn't help but worry that something might have happened to Wu Heyi.
Fortunately, before leaving, Wu Heyi left Ye Lingling a precious wood crystal.
This crystal has never been used, so it still lies quietly in Ye Lingling's hand.
Under normal circumstances, if Wu Heyi were in danger or met with misfortune, the mysterious crystal closely connected to him should undergo some changes.
Generally speaking, it may gradually dim and lose its original brilliance; or it may simply disappear without a trace, as if it had never existed.
Surprisingly, the crystal shines with dazzling brilliance every day, always maintaining an extremely bright state, without even a moment's sign of dimming.
This unusual phenomenon undoubtedly conveys an important message—Wu Heyi is safe and sound and has not encountered any misfortune.
That said, the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament held this time was large in scale and fiercely competitive.
Each empire has only 15 coveted spots for participating teams to compete for. Meanwhile, the two most powerful empires and the formidable Spirit Hall each possess one guaranteed spot.
In this way, the total number of teams that will be able to compete on the field will reach as many as 33.
The entire competition, from its opening to the final showdown, will last for 16 days, during which countless spectacular matches will take place.
It is worth mentioning that Wu Heyi's team belongs to the renowned Tian Dou Royal Academy, and they successfully obtained admission through a special recommendation based on their outstanding strength.
For this reason, this team did not need to go through numerous difficulties and obstacles in the qualifiers to compete for a mere 15 qualifying spots, unlike other teams.
Although this selection was merely an internal election within the Heaven Dou Empire, the highly respected Elder Liang was fortunate enough to be invited to serve as a referee for one of the matches.
Coincidentally, one of the teams he officiated in that match was the highly anticipated New Shrek Academy.
Tang San knew Dean Liang because he and Wu Heyi were old friends.
When he happened to see Dean Liang, he quickly went up to greet him politely and told him the direction Wu Heyi had gone a month ago.
Actually, this was something Wu Heyi specifically asked Tang San to convey before saying goodbye to Xiao Wu and the others. After all, being away from home for so long, being able to send a message to let his family know he was safe was undoubtedly of great importance.
However, Tang San's words made Dean Liang's heart tighten, and a look of worry instantly appeared on his face.
You know, it was clearly agreed that he would only take a month's leave, but now more than a month has passed and Wu Heyi is still nowhere to be found and has not returned, which has made everyone very worried.
Just as everyone was extremely anxious, Wu Miaomiao broke the silence first, and made a serious suggestion to Dean Liang:
"Elder Liang, in my opinion, we can't just sit here and wait. We should take the initiative!"
A hint of anxiety and urgency was revealed in her beautiful and captivating eyes.
"Wu Heyi has always had his own ideas and style of doing things."
Presumably, something extremely difficult and important must have happened to cause this delay.
Once he has properly resolved all the issues, he will surely come to Wuhun City to meet us.
Despite his own anxieties, Dean Liang remained convinced of Wu Heyi's character and integrity.
At this moment, Mi'er, who had been standing silently to the side, suddenly interjected, agreeing with Wu Miaomiao's point of view, and added:
"That's right, there are some special ways for me and He Yi to communicate."
"Why don't I leave him a message? When he receives it, he'll surely return to Spirit City. Let's head to Spirit City now and wait for his return."
After saying that, Mi'er quickly took out a delicate jade bird from her bosom, ready to immediately send a message to Wu Heyi.
Now, the important competition is just around the corner. As the most anticipated brand of the Heaven Dou Empire, they must not back down just because Wu Heyi has not yet returned.
It should be noted that the six people standing here at this moment are all extremely powerful and awe-inspiring.
Among them are two Soul Kings and four Soul Masters, and even the four substitute players are powerful individuals with the cultivation level of a level 39 Limit Soul Venerable.
Faced with such a powerful lineup, Dean Liang had some concerns, but seeing everyone's unwavering attitude, he could hardly say anything more and could only secretly pray that Wu Heyi would return to the team soon.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the preliminary rounds of the Heaven Dou Empire have been in full swing for a whole month.
During this period, New Shrek Academy overcame all obstacles and, with its excellent tactical teamwork and outstanding individual strength, successfully secured a valuable spot in the top 15.
However, the Fire Element Academy and the Wind Element Academy, who had been utterly defeated by them before, did not give up. Instead, they chose to join forces and form a team called "New Divine Wind," which also successfully secured a spot in the top 15.
Meanwhile, deep within the Soul Beast Forest, under a large tree, Wu Heyi was leisurely enjoying honeycomb made by a group of 9-year-old soul beasts.
The sweet and delicious taste delighted him, and he kept making satisfied exclamations.
Not only that, he also enthusiastically directed his younger brother Xiong Da, teaching him some tips and techniques on scientific beekeeping.
Xiong Da listened intently, sometimes nodding in agreement, sometimes lost in thought, seemingly filled with a deep interest in this novel knowledge.
