Fight to the End

Everyone present who knew their stuff immediately recognized that these four Soul Bones were specifically prepared for the Golden Generation and Zhang San, the Pope's disciple.

The Soul Devouring Demon Spider Skull is perfectly suited for Zhang San's Man-Faced Spider Emperor Martial Soul, enhancing his mental toxin attacks.

The Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull, is suitable for Hu Liena, whose primary attack method is Charm, which requires a very high level of Spiritual Power.

The Flame Right Arm Bone was given to Yan, and the Wind Chaser's left leg bone was given to Xie Yue.

The Spirit Hall really went all out, aren't they afraid of capsizing in a ditch and losing both their wife and their army?

Ning Fengzhi to the side, couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

A sharp glint flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes; this time, he was determined to test your arrogance.

The Pope continued, "This morning will be the individual elimination rounds, with each of your three teams sending seven players. The team that remains will have an advantage. Tomorrow, they will directly enter the championship match. The two losing teams will compete for the other final spot this afternoon. Now, you can send out your first players."

It's an individual elimination tournament, similar to the Promotion Rounds, but with three teams participating together.

Although this isn't the final championship match, it's just as important.

Winning not only means securing a place in the top two, but also means being able to conserve energy for tomorrow's decisive battle.

The three teams will compete for the title, and the rules for the individual competition are exactly the same as those for the Promotion Rounds.

Each team sends out seven members, who take the stage in turn.

The winner stays on stage, the loser leaves and is replaced by the next member of their team.

The match ends when all seven members of one team are eliminated.

This is not just a contest of strength, but also a comprehensive test of endurance, willpower, and tactics.

At the level of the top three, everyone is quite strong.

Both the Spirit Hall Team and the Shrek Team have three Soul Kings. Although the New Divine Wind Team does not have any Soul Kings, Feng Xiaotian's Self-Created Soul Skills and Huo Wu's Ring Fusion Technique both possess considerable combat power.

The winner of the individual competition can rest and prepare to face the opponent who fought their way up from the loser's bracket in the final.

The losers of the individual competition will first compete against the winner of another team in the losers' bracket in the afternoon to qualify for the finals, and then compete against the winner of the individual competition for the championship.

Such a tight schedule of consecutive matches takes a huge toll on physical and Soul Power, and may even lead to injury.

The final match is tomorrow, and it will be difficult for the players to get back to their best form.

Therefore, the team that wins the individual competition is very likely to be the final champion.

The Spirit Hall has brought out four Soul Bones will undoubtedly make the competition even more intense.

Tang San remembered that in the original novel, the Shrek Team, due to being jointly targeted by the New Divine Wind Team and the Spirit Hall Team, simply gave up the individual competition to avoid excessive consumption of energy and went directly into the afternoon's loser's bracket team battle.

Will they join forces again this time?

Tang San turned his head and glanced in the direction of the New Divine Wind Team.

Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu avoided eye contact, clearly not daring to look Tang San in the eye.

Perhaps they did reach some kind of agreement.

Regardless of the circumstances, Tang San was determined to fight to the end.

He not only wants to win in the end, but he also wants to win honorably, crushing his opponents with superior strength.

This is not showing off or acting impulsively, but rather a confidence based on strength and a choice based on principles.

First, they have full confidence in their own strength.

With his many unused trump cards still at his disposal, Tang San was confident that even if the Shrek Team fought a full seven rounds of gauntlet battles, they would still emerge victorious.

With his ultimate trump card, the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, plus two External Soul Bone skills, "Annihilation Light" and "Indestructible Thunder Heart," not to mention a few Soul Kings, even Soul Saints would be in deep trouble.

Of course, there's also the Second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer. Although Qian Daoliu promised his personal safety, and there's no danger even if he uses the Clear Sky Hammer now, Tang San doesn't want the Clear Sky Hammer to be exposed to the entire continent so early.

Secondly, it was to enhance the beauty of Qian Renxue.

He had promised Qian Renxue that he would defeat the Spirit Hall Team head-on, winning fair and square, without any controversy.

That way, Qian Renxue would have enough confidence to stand in front of Bibi Dong, leaving the people from the Spirit Hall speechless.

If Tang San tries to take shortcuts or avoids the Spirit Hall Team's strength, even if he wins, he will still be criticized.

Therefore, for Tang San, there is no such thing as giving up; he must fight to the very end.

A row of gilded chairs was placed in front of the Pope's Palace, and at Pope Bibi Dong's suggestion, she sat down in the center.

Her expression was solemn and dignified, her purple eyes calm as still water, revealing no emotional fluctuations.

On the left sat Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chen Xin from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and on the right sat Ghost Douluo Gui Mei and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.

The match is about to begin.

Tang San turned around to face his teammates.

He said seriously, "Go ahead and compete. If you get injured, Lingling will help you. If you run out of Soul Power, I'll help you recover. But don't push yourselves too hard. If you run out of Soul Power, just admit defeat. I'll be there to back you up. Don't worry."

Tang San's voice wasn't loud, but every word carried a reassuring power.

Everyone nodded firmly.

The draw was conducted by the first person sent by each of the three teams to determine which two academies would face off in the first match. The winners would continue to fight, and so on.

On the Shrek Academy's side, Qin Ming's first choice was Huang Yuan, who replaced Ye Lingling in the individual competition.

Shrek Academy was incredibly lucky; Huang Yuan got a bye right off the bat.

Being given a bye in the first round means that Shrek Academy's team can play later, allowing them to be well-rested and have a better understanding of the strength of the teams they've already played. This is undoubtedly a very favorable draw.

The individual competition between the Spirit Hall Academy and New Godwind Academy is about to begin.

Just as the first members of both sides were about to step onto the arena, a voice suddenly rang out from the New Godwind Academy team.

Please wait a moment.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet square.

All eyes turned toward the direction from which the sound came.

Feng Xiaotian hesitated for a moment before stepping out of the New Godwind Academy's group.

He stopped at the foot of the steps in the Pope's Palace, bowed slightly, and said, "Your His Holiness the Pope, our Godwind Academy chooses to forfeit the individual competition and voluntarily enters the afternoon's loser's bracket elimination round."

These words caused an uproar among the crowd.

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's eyes.

Her displeasure stemmed from a simple reason: according to the original plan, Godwind Academy was supposed to assist Spirit Hall Academy in exhausting Shrek Team.

This is the reason why the Shrek Team had to give up the individual competition in the original work.

The Spirit Hall and the New Divine Wind had already reached an agreement, which is why the Spirit Hall agreed to let Blazing Fire into the Godwind Academy.

For some reason, however, this time Godwind Academy voluntarily withdrew from the individual competition.

Tang San glanced at Feng Xiaotian, feeling somewhat bewildered.

Was he feeling ashamed because of his own words of loyalty?

If that were the case, Tang San would say, "There's absolutely no need!"

Tang San, however, did not know the specific reason why Feng Xiaotian changed his mind.

In his view, it was understandable that Feng Xiaotian would give up.

After all, both the Shrek Team and the Spirit Hall Team have three Soul Kings, Divine Wind Team has no chance of winning in the individual competition.

Rather than being defeated one by one in individual matches and wasting energy, it's better to voluntarily give up, conserve strength, and fight hard in the knockout stage.

These thoughts flashed through Tang San's mind, but regardless of why the New Divine Wind gave up the individual competition, the situation was now clear.

The individual competition became a direct confrontation between the Shrek Team and the Spirit Hall Team.
