After experiencing the Starlight Auction, Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao had completely recovered and joined the competition team. This way, the main team had two Spirit Emperors, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, and a Spirit King, Ling Luochen. In addition, there were two 'foreign species' like Huo Yuhao and Ten Fragrance. Seeing the overall strength of this team, Wang Yan finally let out a sigh of relief. With this, it wouldn't be difficult for them to win the championship, Wang Yan thought.
On the other hand, Wang Dong's reserve team was extremely depressed. They had originally planned to 'show off their skills' in this Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Spirit Fighting Competition, but they hadn't expected that they'd only be acting as 'soy sauce'. In the few matches they had, they'd also been restrained in order not to expose their true strength. As an extra? Everyone roared in their hearts. Especially after receiving the weapon that Huo Yuhao 'gifted' them, their resentment grew even stronger.
After Huo Yuhao and the others finished the semi-finals and successfully entered the finals, Wang Dong and the others finally exploded!!!
"Yuhao, tomorrow is the finals, right?”Wang Dong pulled Huo Yuhao's collar and said with a smile.
"Yes... Is there a problem? Everyone, you guys look so scary! Didn't I just give each of you a weapon? What was going on? If you're unhappy, you shouldn't be looking for me!”Huo Yuhao smiled stiffly. He didn't know what was wrong with these guys. He had just come back from the competition, and these guys kept smiling at him. He felt a chill down his spine.
"Then can you let us go up on stage and have a competition? Recently, I've been idle. If it doesn't work, why don't you come and compete with us? We can also test the power of the weapons you gave us.”Bebe walked behind Huo Yuhao and patted him on the shoulder, smiling as he 'explained' to Huo Yuhao.
"This... I don't have the final say. You should ask Teacher Wang Yan!”Huo Yuhao immediately understood the reason for everyone's 'smile', and he quickly thought of' diverting the disaster to the east.'
Everyone looked at Wang Yan again and pleaded with a pitiful expression…Huo Yuhao, who saw this, cursed in his heart. Are you sure? Why was the difference so huge?
Wang Yan couldn't stand them either. He coughed lightly and said," Don't worry. You'll be participating in the finals. This time, you don't have to worry about anything.”
When the reserve team heard Wang Yan's promise, they couldn't help but shout excitedly," Long live Teacher Wang Yan!”，Huo Yuhao's furrowed brows twitched…
Although the finals would be divided into team battles, individual elimination battles, and 223 battle tactics, they would all be held within a day! Therefore, Wang Yan and the others decided to win the team battle first. With Huo Yuhao and Ten Fragrance around, they didn't have to worry about it. After that, the reserve team would test the opponent's true strength in the individual elimination battle. After all, it was better to be safe than sorry! What if the other party still had a trump card? Moreover, Wang Dong and the others were also very 'expectant' of it! The final two, two, and three tactics were Huo Yuhao and Ten Fragrance as a pair, and Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yaoheng as a pair. They won the first two rounds! This way, it would be foolproof! After thinking about the strategy, everyone could not help but think to themselves!
However, was there really no problem? Huo Yuhao felt uneasy…
The next day!
Star Luo City was the capital of the Star Luo Empire and the largest city in the empire. It had been crowded for several days.
The reason why the city was so crowded was that every street was crowded with people.
The Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Spirit Fighting Tournament's two semifinals had already ended, and from the moment the semifinals ended, lines began to line up outside Star Luo Plaza. Some people had even waited for two days and two nights.
It was for the sake of personally witnessing the grand occasion of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Spirit Fighting Tournament finals. Perhaps, this would be a major event that they would talk about in their lives.
In order to maintain order in the Imperial Capital, the Star Luo Empire urgently transferred another ten thousand elite soldiers into the city to maintain order. All the shops in the city extended their business hours. In order to provide for the sudden increase in the number of outsiders, they even allocated various resources from the surrounding cities. For a time, the prosperity of Star Luo City had reached an unprecedented level.
There was no doubt that the economic benefits brought to the Star Luo Empire by this Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament were incalculable. It was no wonder that the various empires had to compromise with each other after competing to host the competition. Every time, the country would be the host.
Shrek Academy and the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Master Academy represented the most powerful forces on the continent. The anticipation for this final match could be imagined.
The weather today was not very good. Dark clouds covered the sky and there was even a faint mist that shrouded Star Luo City. Occasionally, fine drizzle would fall from the sky, bringing a chill to this magnificent city.
However, no matter how cold it was, it could not dampen the enthusiasm of the people from all over Star Luo City. Because, the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament finals were about to begin. A peak showdown was about to take place today.
At this moment, the two teams that were about to stage a peak showdown were on their way to the Star Luo Plaza. Along the way, soldiers stood in great numbers, blocking the people who were shouting their names. Many of the people who had not been able to enter the Star Plaza gathered on both sides of the passage to watch the two teams up close.
The red carpet extended all the way to the resting area and then circled around the competition stage. On the city wall in the distance, the Star Luo Empire's Emperor had already arrived with the Star Luo Empire's civil and military officials. It was a show of respect for the two teams that were about to enter the finals.
Huo Yuhao's gaze inadvertently shifted to the city wall. At first glance, he saw His Majesty the Star Luo Empire's Emperor standing in the middle of the city wall and Princess Jiu Jiu standing on the Emperor's left.
Jiujiu Princess was obviously looking at him, but her gaze was not very friendly.
In the next moment, Huo Yuhao's body suddenly shook. His calm mind was suddenly filled with shock.
It was a middle-aged Zaozi who looked to be in his thirties. He was clad in golden armor and did not wear a helmet, revealing his well-defined facial features. His eye sockets were deep, and his blue eyes were sparkling. His face looked a little thin, but his entire person had a sense of belonging. Handsome, resolute, upright, and with a temperament of iron and blood, he stood beside Emperor Star Luo.
It was him…
How could Huo Yuhao be calm when he saw this person?
Yes, the White Tiger Duke who guarded the Star Luo Empire's western border had returned before the finals, not only because this was the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament's finals, but also because his eldest son was participating.
Huo Yuhao saw the White Tiger Duke, and so did Dai Yaoheng. His eyes lit up with excitement. Looking at his father on the city wall in the distance, he clenched his fists.
White Tiger Duke Dai Hao only nodded slightly at him, his eyes revealing a hint of encouragement, and then he no longer looked at him. However, just this glance filled Dai Yaoheng, who had taken his father as his role model since he was young, with the desire to fight. His previous nervousness was swept away.
When Emperor Star Luo saw the members of both teams enter the resting area, a faint smile appeared on his face. He nodded at Duke White Tiger beside him.
"Silence. The competition is about to begin. Please speak, Your Majesty.”Dai Hao shouted in a deep voice. He did not use a sound amplifying soul device, but his voice was transmitted far away. A sonorous and forceful iron-blooded aura actually pervaded the city wall.
" Kill, kill, kill!" All the soldiers who were maintaining order raised their weapons and shouted at the same time. Instantly, the entire Star Luo Plaza was filled with a murderous aura.
It could be seen that the soldiers 'eyes were filled with fanaticism. At this moment, they only had eyes for the commander standing on the city wall. Duke Zihu's power in the army was even greater than the emperor's!
Emperor Star Luo did not reveal any dissatisfaction because of this. He was still smiling. The crowd also quieted down under this somber atmosphere.
"The last time I witnessed the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament finals in Star Luo City was twenty years ago. At that time, whether it was Zhen or Brother Dai Hao, they were only young men. Times have changed. Today, twenty years later, I am already the ruler of a country. Brother Dai Hao has also become the number one commander of the empire. We are about to witness yet another battle between the strongest youths on the continent. I am very excited. I hope that the players on both sides can dedicate a wonderful game to every spectator. According to convention, the winner of this final would receive three spirit bones as well as a million gold spirit coins as a reward. Zhen has already selected ten spirit bones from our country's treasury for the final champion to choose. I originally wanted to invite Brother Dai Hao to personally host today's match, but unfortunately, one of Shrek Academy's main battle team members is his eldest son. To avoid suspicion, the Heaven Fiend Douluo will still be the referee for this match.”
"I won't say any more. Next, I invite everyone to watch this battle that will definitely be recorded in the annals of history.”
As soon as Emperor Star Luo's voice faded, a ray of light flashed across the city wall. In the next moment, it had already appeared in the middle of the competition stage. It was the Heaven Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu.
However, the moment he landed on the competition stage, his body trembled slightly. His gaze subconsciously turned to the resting area, and his gaze landed on Shrek Academy's team.
At some point, a slovenly old man holding a wine gourd had appeared in the seat behind Shrek Academy. He raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the Heaven Fiend Douluo's gaze on him. On the other hand, there was a trace of panic in the eyes of the powerful Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu. He quickly turned his head around.
Due to the referee's gaze, the Shrek Academy and Imperial Sun Moon Soul Master Academy's people noticed the sloppy old man's arrival.
"Elder Xuan, you're here." Wang Yan said in surprise.
Elder Xuan took out another chicken drumstick from somewhere and took a bite. He said in a blurry voice,"You command them. Just pretend that I don't exist. In any case, with this old man around, no one would dare to play any tricks.”There was no doubt that the Taotie Douluo was here to hold the fort for Shrek Academy.
The Sun Moon Squad's leading teacher's expression changed immediately when he saw him. Of course, he recognized Elder Xuan. According to the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Master Academy's investigation, this Taotie Douluo's cultivation base had surpassed rank-97 at the very least. He was Shrek Academy's number one powerhouse. Everything related to the Sea God's Pavilion in Shrek Academy was too secretive. They had only investigated so much.
The referee on the stage, the Heaven Fiend Douluo, clearly recognized Elder Xuan. Otherwise, he would not have lost his composure. However, he quickly regained his composure and said in a deep voice,"Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Spirit Fighting Tournament finals, I, Huang Jinxu, will be the final judge. I will now announce the rules of the finals.”
Even though both teams were already familiar with the rules of the competition, they still had to make the announcement according to the order.
"The finals will be divided into team competition, individual elimination competition, and two, two, and three combat techniques.
Two wins out of three. In the group competition, each side would send out seven members. After the team battle ended, both sides had a chance to change their team members. But this was his only chance. In the following individual elimination matches and the 223 Combat Techniques competition, both sides could only have a fixed number of seven participants. No form of substitution was allowed. The winner of both matches would be the champion. Both sides can do whatever they want in the competition. The safety of the players on both sides is the responsibility of the referee. Once the referee finds that one side is likely to die, he will intervene in the competition and the beneficial side will be eliminated. However, due to the ever-changing nature of the competition, I cannot guarantee the absolute safety of the participating players. He hoped that both sides would restrain themselves in the game. Next, both sides got ready. One minute later, the team members participating in the team battle would go on stage.”
Following the announcement of the competition rules, the atmosphere in the entire Star Luo Arena suddenly became tense. The hundreds of thousands of people had become silent. They just waited quietly. Everyone's eyes were wide open. Even if the game had not started, they were unwilling to give up on any changes on the field.
Wang Yan stood up and faced all ten Shrek Academy students. He said in a deep voice,"Everything will proceed according to the original plan. Shrek will definitely win."
"Shrek will definitely win." The ten of them stood up at the same time and shouted in an unusually firm tone.
Wang Yan looked at Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yaoheng and nodded at them. The two of them nodded in understanding.
On the other side, the members of the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Master Academy had already stood up to listen to the final arrangements of the leading teacher.
A minute passed quickly.
"Team members from both sides, please take the stage." The Heaven Fiend Douluo calculated the time carefully and did not extend it by even a second.
Seven people from the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Master Academy walked out immediately. The one walking at the front was their captain, Ma Ru Long. Following closely behind Ma Ru Long was Xiao Hong Chen, followed by Meng Hong Chen. Next was a woman who was wrapped in black clothes. Even her face was covered with a black veil, so it was impossible to see her true appearance. However, for some reason, Huo Yuhao and the others felt a sense of familiarity with this person. Behind him stood a mysterious old man with a mask on his face. The three people behind them were also rank-5 soul masters. The Shrek members could recognize their names based on their appearance. They were Xiao Xiafeng, Chen Fei, and Lin Xi. Other than Meng Hong Chen, all the other members were male.
The opponents had already walked towards the competition stage. Naturally, Shrek Academy's side did the same. When everyone entered the waiting area, seven people also walked out. However, something unexpected happened to the audience and the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Master Academy.
Shrek Academy's seven participants were the captain Ma Xiaotao, vice-captain Dai Yaoheng, Ling Luochen, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Ten Fragrance, and Huo Yuhao.
The Imperial Sun Moon Soul Master Academy had announced their defeat before the first group battle had even begun. The audience was displeased. However, they did not say anything when they saw Ten Fragrance and Huo Yuhao in Shrek's team.
One of them was a monster with an eight-ringed Soul Douluo cultivation base. Moreover, her martial soul was equally astonishing! The power emitted by that giant sword on the throne was something even an ordinary Title Douluo might not be able to withstand, and her spirit ring configuration was even more terrifying! Six black and two red, this could be said to be a spirit ring configuration that shouldn't exist at all, yet it was reflected on this girl who wasn't even fifteen years old. Moreover, from the start of the competition until now, she hadn't launched a single spirit ability! In other words, she had yet to show her true strength. Who wouldn't feel terrified by such a person?!!
As for the other one, although he had only participated in a few matches, everyone couldn't forget the crimson lake behind him and the countless terrifying weapons within it. Only a Title Douluo could 'survive' that rain of weapons that filled the sky, everyone thought to themselves.
Who would be willing to compete with these two monsters!!! Everyone understood what was going on. The Imperial Sun Moon Soul Master Academy's team clearly intended to decide the outcome of the battle in the next two rounds. However, could they really win? Everyone couldn't help but worry.
"Bebe, you have to win the first match!”Ma Xiaotao patted Bebe's shoulder and said firmly.
"Don't worry, I won't lose!" Seeing everyone's expectant gazes, Bebe nodded firmly.
The cheering audience immediately quieted down. However, in the next moment, their eyes were filled with surprise.
The mysterious old man glanced at the girl in black. The girl in black nodded and went up the stage. At this moment, she also took off the black veil covering her face. Only then did everyone realize that she was a beautiful girl with fair skin and dark blue eyes.
Her peerlessly beautiful face had a cold expression as she slowly walked towards Bebe.
She was noble, cold, and had an indescribable demonic aura.
Bebe's pupils constricted, revealing a look of disbelief. Even Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan…Even Elder Xuan, who was standing behind them, had the same reaction as Bebe!
Bebe's face was now covered in tears. He called out in a hoarse voice,
"You... You are…?"
