Chapter 107 Victory.
"The first match of the semifinals, a team battle, Shrek Academy defeats Star Luo National Academy." The lifeless, cold voice of Tian Sha Douluo rang out, announcing the end of today's competition.
The Shrek team then walked off the stage under the watchful eyes of the audience.
After a brief silence, the spectators in Star Luo Square erupted in a deafening roar of cheers once more.
Although the prolonged use of the fourth soul skill during the halftime match obscured their view of the arena, Shrek Academy's thunderous actions after the Star Guardian shattered were undeniably impressive and spectacular.
In the rest area, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy members wore somber expressions; Shrek Academy's strength far exceeded their expectations.
"Damn it! No wonder he's so arrogant. An ultimate martial soul is one thing, but he even has twin martial souls!" Xiao Hongchen was seething with resentment, gritting his teeth.
After witnessing the terrifying power of Wu Xuan's ultimate wind and the devastating power of his Soul-Breaking Spear, even someone as proud as him had to admit that Wu Xuan's talent was so exceptional that it aroused his jealousy.
Meng Hongchen, standing to the side, was also filled with shock in her icy blue eyes. She hadn't expected Wu Xuan, whom she had never even considered worthy of her attention, to possess such monstrous talent. As the little princess of the Hongchen family, her standards had always been very high. Because of her older brother, Xiao Hongchen, who stood out among his peers at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, she would unconsciously compare any man who wanted to approach her to Xiao Hongchen.
Over the years, Wu Xuan was the first person who could surpass her brother Xiao Hongchen in talent.
"Wu Xuan! Didn't your Soul-Breaking Spear only have one soul ring attached? How can it release two soul skills?" Dai Yueheng, who had just stepped off the stage, suddenly asked curiously.
Hearing this, everyone around looked at Wu Xuan with curiosity.
Wu Xuan was taken aback, then made up a story: "The other one is a kind of self-created soul skill, a variation of a soul skill!"
"Hiss!" Everyone gasped in unison. How old was Wu Xuan to have already figured out a variation of a soul skill that suited him?
Ma Xiaotao, on the other hand, walked silently at the back, her head down, seemingly lost in thought.
Off the stage, Wang Yan greeted the crowd without saying much. Ma Xiaotao had followed his tactics in this match, and the responsibility for their eventual disadvantage lay with him. Who would have thought that Princess Jiujiu possessed such a domain-type soul skill?
"Ahem, this afternoon there will be a team battle between the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and the Heavenly Soul Empire's Imperial Academy. You should all come and watch; it will help us understand our opponents," Wang Yan said with a light cough.
"Understood, Teacher Wang. We'll go watch this afternoon if we're not in a meditative state," Wu Xuan said casually, waving his hand. Wang
Yan nodded. The Sun Moon team's team battles were indeed not very entertaining; it was just a barrage of soul tools and relentless bombardment.
Afternoon! When Wu Xuan heard the signal to start the match, he finished his cultivation. Before he and the main team members even left the Star Emperor Hotel, Wang Yan and a few members of the preliminary team returned to the hotel entrance.
"What's wrong? Didn't we say we were going to watch the match this afternoon?" Chen Zifeng asked in surprise.
Huo Yuhao frowned and said, "In the team battle, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy defeated Emperor Ao Academy with an overwhelming advantage."
"An overwhelming advantage?" Wu Xuan was a little curious. Emperor Ao Academy's lineup of one Soul Emperor and six Soul Kings was defeated by Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy with an overwhelming advantage?
Xiao Xiao, who was standing next to him, nodded and said, "The battle ended quickly. Emperor Ao Academy was suppressed without any chance from beginning to end. However, the captain of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy made a move this time. A level six Soul Master, he is indeed very powerful."
Ma Xiaotao chuckled, "Is that so? In that case, we won't leave tomorrow for the individual elimination match between Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Emperor Ao Academy. I want to see what the captain of the Sun Moon team is capable of."
The next morning, Wu Xuan and his companions had just finished breakfast when Wang Yan summoned them to the conference room. During the meeting, Wang Yan detailed the battle between the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and the Imperial Academy.
Originally, the morning's individual elimination match was between Shrek Academy and the Star Luo Royal Academy, but due to the Star Luo Royal Academy's early surrender, they didn't have to compete that morning. The afternoon's match was between the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and the Imperial Academy.
They entered the competition venue.
At this time, both the Imperial Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy were already present, sitting in the rest area. Upon seeing the Shrek group arrive, they all turned their gazes towards them.
While they were talking, the referee arrived on the stage, and His Majesty the Emperor was also present to watch the battle from the city walls. Princess Jiu Jiu, who had lost to them in yesterday's match, stood beside the Emperor.
Wu Xuan keenly sensed someone watching him and subconsciously looked up, just in time to see Princess Jiu Jiu's gaze from the distant city walls. The princess's beautiful face seemed to hold a hint of anger.
On the city walls...
"Brother, why is Wu Xuan's Soul-Breaking Spear a mental attribute attack? Even if his martial soul mutated, it shouldn't have mutated so thoroughly," Xu Jiujiu said, somewhat frustrated.
The Star Luo Emperor smiled slightly and said, "His other martial soul is already at its ultimate attribute, so I'm not surprised what attribute his Soul-Breaking Spear mutated into."
Princess Jiujiu said unwillingly, "But even so, I'm not convinced! I haven't even used my strongest soul skill yet!"
"Alright, Jiujiu, a loss is a loss. That little guy held back yesterday; otherwise, with his mental attack, you wouldn't be standing here today,"
Xu Jiujiu said through gritted teeth, clearly still very unconvinced.
At this moment, the competition began.
The first to appear from the Imperial Ao Academy was the Soul Emperor-level captain, Jiang Peng, whose martial soul was the Heaven-Shaking Axe.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy sent out a Level 5 Soul Master named Mika. The battle ended quickly. Although Mika used a previously hidden close-combat Soul Tool, he ultimately couldn't escape defeat. In team battles, the collective combat effect of Soul Tools is immense, but in individual battles, it's difficult to completely bridge the gap between a Soul King and a Soul Emperor with Soul Tools.
The second member of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to fight was their captain, Ma Rulong, a Level 6 Soul Master.
In this match, Ma Rulong skillfully used different levels of Soul Tools, suppressing Jiang Peng, the captain of the Imperial Ao Academy, throughout. Although Jiang Peng launched a counterattack midway, forcing out Ma Rulong's Invincible Shield, he ultimately lost to Ma Rulong.
In this match, Ma Rulong's only loss was his Invincible Shield; he himself was unharmed. However, given his abilities, he must be able to create such consumable Soul Tools himself, and the cost certainly wouldn't be as expensive as buying them from outside. High-level Soul Masters are always extremely wealthy, let alone one as a high-level Soul Master from the Mingde Hall.
Throughout the match, Ma Rulong's movements were fluid and seamless. From the very beginning, he controlled the battle, responding perfectly to every transition and every change in Jiang Peng's strategy, using the most suitable soul tool. Jiang Peng's defeat brought a chill to the entire arena, while the faces of the remaining members of the Imperial Academia team were ashen.
The rest of the match was a foregone conclusion; Ma Rulong single-handedly defeated the remaining members of the Imperial Academia team. Had the referee not intervened in time, someone from Imperial Academia might have died from Ma Rulong's soul tool.
Imperial Academia was eliminated, and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy advanced to the finals.
