Huo Wu Was Furious
The loser's bracket elimination match was held as scheduled in the afternoon, and the Shrek Team also came to the stands to watch the game.
The atmosphere in the square in the Pope's Palace was even more tense than in the individual competition that morning, as the final spot in the finals was about to be decided.
The loser's bracket is a knockout tournament; the winner advances to the final, and the loser is eliminated.
It's a life-or-death situation; there's no room for error.
Members of the New Divine Wind Team and the Spirit Hall Team walked up from both sides of the arena.
Both teams were burning with fighting spirit, their eyes clashing in the air, sparks flying.
The Spirit Hall Team was determined to regain face after being humiliated by the Shrek Team that morning.
The New Divine Wind Team harbored resentment because of Yan's insulting words to the Blazing Fire Academy that morning.
Huo Wu is known for her Huo Wu temper. It's a miracle she's managed to endure being called "trash Huo" to her face.
At this moment, she looked at Yan's gloomy face opposite her, her hands clenched into fists, her knuckles turning white, and her eyes almost spitting out real flames.
Before the match started, she told Feng Xiaotian: "We can lose the match, but Yan must lie down."
On the other hand, the Spirit Hall, as expected of the largest Soul Master force on the entire continent, had an abundant supply of healing and support Soul Masters and medicines.
Xie Yue and Yan, who were injured in the morning, have recovered about 70-80% of their condition after treatment by the Spirit Hall's top healing-type Soul Masters and the use of various precious recovery medicines.
The others who were not injured, although their Soul Power was almost exhausted in the morning, have recovered to about 80% after several hours of meditation and recuperation.
However, in their eyes, the arrogant disdain for others that they once had was gone.
Instead, there was an overwhelming desire for revenge after being humiliated by Tang San.
The crushing defeat in the morning was like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads, making them realize that someone was stronger than them.
That arrogance that once made him think he was invincible was shattered by Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.
But this clarity did not make them humble; instead, it gave their eyes a ferocious, beast-like glint.
"The loser's bracket elimination match between the New Divine Wind Team and the Spirit Hall Team is about to begin!"
The referee walked to the center of the ring, raised his right hand, and announced.
As soon as the words were spoken, both teams simultaneously revealed their Martial Soul.
The two forces collided on the arena, and the air seemed to freeze.
From the very start of the match, the New Divine Wind Team displayed extraordinary fighting power.
Feng Xiaotian's wings suddenly flapped, and he soared into the sky.
His body tumbled in the air, and a blue light enveloped him in a fierce storm.
Feng Xiaotian immediately activated his self-created skill, the Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes.
He descended from the sky, his wings like blades, and swooped down towards the Spirit Hall Team.
Just as Feng Xiaotian descended from the sky, a blazing white light suddenly shot out, instantly catching up with his body and causing Feng Xiaotian to completely merge into the white light.
The white light was Huo Wu. The white light did not stop, but connected the two like a bridge.
With the aid of the white light, Feng Xiaotian appeared to exude an explosive sense of power.
A frenzied burst of energy erupted from his body, and the scorching air currents seemed to scorch the earth.
Even more astonishingly, the white light gradually condensed and took shape on his body, transforming into a strange, incandescent armor that covered his body and his sharp, swift wings.
This is a dual-fusion technique that Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian developed together after Huo Wu joined Godwind Academy.
By concentrating the power of multiple people on Feng Xiaotian alone, his offensive and defensive capabilities were maximized.
The Spirit Hall Team felt immense pressure.
Xie Yue glanced at Hu Liena, and Hu Liena nodded.
Both of them knew that conventional fighting methods were no longer effective against Feng Xiaotian at this moment.
We must use the strongest force.
Xie Yue gripped the center of the Moon Blade with both hands and charged towards his younger sister, Hu Liena.
They were preparing to unleash their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Demon Charm.
Just as Xie Yue and Hu Liena's bodies collided, a layer of red light enveloped them both.
Soon, the red light burst forth, covering nearly half the area of the venue.
Tang San, sitting in the audience, had to activate his Illusionary Realm Eyes to see what was happening inside the red mist.
The Martial Soul Fusion Skill unleashed by the two Soul Kings was, for a short period of time, absolutely comparable in power to a level 70 Soul Saint.
A red light flashed, and the two people turned into one person—a person with long, flowing hair whose gender was indistinguishable.
The man held a Moon Blade in each hand, the Moon Blades gleaming eerily in the red light.
But just as the members of the Spirit Hall Team were preparing to meet the opponent's attack, an unexpected incident occurred.
The New Divine Wind Team completely ignored Demon Charm and everyone else.
They unleashed all their offensive Soul Skills without reservation, hurling them at Yan, who stood at the very front.
Huo Wu's Fourth Soul Skill, "Huo Wu's Radiant Sun," sent a huge white fireball flying from her palm, heading straight for Yan's face.
Huo Wushuang's Third Soul Skill, "Flame Dragon Fist," unleashed a crimson fire dragon from his fist, accompanied by a deafening roar, as it hurtled towards Yan.
The other members of the New Divine Wind Team also unleashed their strongest attack Soul Skills: wind blades, fireballs, and fire arrows, raining down like a torrential downpour.
The Spirit Hall Team had not expected the Godwind Academy to attack Yan so recklessly, and they were unprepared beforehand.
In their expectations, the New Divine Wind Team would first try to find a way to defeat the Demon Charm.
Yan could only hastily use his second Soul Skill, "Granite Rock," which was his defensive Soul Skill. Dark red rock armor covered his entire body, enduring attacks from all directions.
But the opponent's attacks were too numerous.
Feng Xiaotian's wind blade, Huo Wu's fireball, Huo Wushuang's flame fist, and the strongest attack Soul Skills of the other members of the Divine Wind Team all struck Yan simultaneously.
"Snap!"
Yan's armor was quickly breached, and he took full force of multiple Soul Skills from Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, his gruesome state was too terrible to look at.
By the time the Spirit Hall Team reacted, Yan had already been focused down and defeated.
They immediately surrounded Yan and checked him over. They found that he had only been stunned by Soul Skill and was not in any life-threatening danger.
Then the normal team battle phase began.
Feng Xiaotian faced off against the Demon Charm.
The wind blade and the Moon Blade collided in mid-air, exploding into bursts of dazzling light.
However, the Divine Wind Team had consumed too much Soul Power in their initial efforts to defeat Yan, and they quickly found themselves at a disadvantage against the suppression of the Demon Charm.
Before long, after exhausting his Soul Power, Feng Xiaotian, seeing no hope of victory, voluntarily conceded defeat.
I surrender.
Feng Xiaotian's voice was hoarse, filled with resentment and helplessness.
Although Huo Wu was panting heavily, she still spat in the direction where Yan was lying and shouted, "See if you dare to call us trash again!"
The other members of the Spirit Hall Team exchanged bewildered glances, unable to look directly at Huo Wu, whose temper was so fiery.
Everyone cast sympathetic glances at Yan, who was lying on the ground. He had been humiliated twice in one day, and they hoped he could be strong.
The referee walked to the center of the arena, raised his right hand, and announced in a loud voice, "The Spirit Hall Team has won the loser's bracket and advances to tomorrow's finals!"
Tang San, sitting in the audience, smiled, as if he had expected Yan's fate today, and did not show much emotion.
His entire attention was focused on the Demon Charm.
After the match, Tang San said to his teammates, "Leave that Demon Charm to me tomorrow. Watch how I beat him so badly he can't even take care of himself!"
The Shrek team members, of course, believed their captain wasn't exaggerating, and they couldn't help but gasp, silently mourning the fate of the Demon Charm tomorrow.
