Yan Thought He Could Do It Again

Night fell.

The sky above Spirit City was dotted with stars.

The Pope's Palace was brightly lit.

Bibi Dong sat high on the Pope throne, her purple eyes calm and still, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

Your Highness, the seven main members of the Spirit Hall Team stood in a row with their hands at their sides.

Apart from Zhang San, everyone else was listless, heads bowed, not daring to look at the Pope on the throne.

Yan, in particular, was in a very low mood and his spirit was very weak. His injuries were also the most severe in the team.

Bibi Dong's gaze swept across everyone's faces, finally landing on Xie Yue.

I am very dissatisfied with your performance today.

Her voice carried an invisible pressure that made everyone present feel suffocated.

"But there's still a chance tomorrow." Bibi Dong's tone shifted, her voice rising several octaves. "Tomorrow is the final. If you win, you're the champions, and the four Soul Bones are yours. If you lose..."

She paused, a cold glint flashing in her purple eyes. "You should know the consequences."

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Bibi Dong waved her hand, and four support Soul Masters dressed in white walked in through the side door.

"These are the Spirit Hall's top-tier healing and support Soul Masters," Bibi Dong pointed to the four people. "Tonight, they will help you recover. Your Soul Power, Stamina, and injuries will all be restored to their peak."

Upon hearing this, the Spirit Hall Team members below the stage brightened their dull eyes and revealed a relaxed smile.

"In tomorrow's final, use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill right from the start. Don't give Shrek any chance. Finish them quickly, crush them with the fastest speed and the strongest power."

Bibi Dong said in a deep voice, "I want the whole continent to know that the disciples of my Pope's Palace are the strongest geniuses on this continent."

"Yes!" the seven answered in unison.

Bibi Dong nodded and waved her hand, signaling them to leave.

The seven bowed respectfully and followed the four support Soul Masters out of the Pope's Palace.

The palace doors slowly closed behind them.

Bibi Dong leaned back on her throne and closed her eyes.

The light shone on her flawless face, highlighting her features exceptionally clearly.

The next day.

The final competition was held as scheduled in the square in the Pope's Palace.

Members of the Shrek Team and the Spirit Hall Team walked up from both sides of the arena.

Tang San led the Shrek Team, his gaze calm and serene, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu were on his left and right sides respectively, while Ye Lingling, Dai Mubai, Tai Long, and Jing Ling walked at the back of the group, each of them exuding confidence.

The Spirit Hall Team.

After Xie Yue and Hu Liena persuaded them that "Blue Silver Grass is not afraid of fire, but poison is definitely afraid of fire, so we should turn our grief and anger into motivation."

So, Yan, who was devastated yesterday, regained some confidence and vowed to redeem himself in today's final.

When the two teams stood in the center of the arena, Yan's gaze immediately locked onto Tang San.

His eyes burned with the flames of revenge, his face contorted with rage, and he gritted his teeth. "Tang San, what happened yesterday, I'll make you pay tenfold today!"

Tang San glanced at him. How could this fool think he was capable again so quickly?

However, simps usually have good mental fortitude and are very good at self-comfort.

He said disdainfully to Yan, "You're no match for us in individual matches, and you're even less of a threat in team battles. I advise you to admit defeat immediately and stop making futile struggles, lest you get whipped again later."

Yan's face flushed red, veins bulged on his forehead, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

The rest of the Spirit Hall Team also had ashen faces.

Of course they wouldn't admit defeat. Tang San knew they wouldn't admit defeat either.

He said those things only to provoke and anger them.

The angrier you get, the happier I am.

Xie Yue took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his chest.

The referee walked to the center of the arena and raised his right hand. "The final match, Shrek Team vs. Spirit Hall Team, begins now!"

The moment the words were spoken, two powerful auras erupted simultaneously.

Xie Yue and Hu Liena moved at the same time.

The two immediately unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Demon Charm, causing a brilliant red light to emanate from the Soul Fighting Arena.

The red light spread out, completely enveloping the Shrek Team.

But Tang San was prepared.

His Third Soul Ring lit up, and his Third Soul Skill, Blue Silver Heart-Link, was activated.

An invisible spiritual bond connects the spirits of the Shrek Seven Devils together.

The Blue Silver Heart-Link buffs take effect simultaneously, increasing all attributes of all team members by 30% and increasing the recovery speed of Soul Power and life force by 100%.

More importantly, Blue Silver Heart-Link can also remove all negative status effects from everyone, thus negating the suppressive effect of the Demon Charm.

The seven members of the Shrek Team instantly felt that the sluggish effect caused by the red mist had completely disappeared.

But that's not enough.

The Demon Charm red mist also has a deceptive effect, causing visual and auditory distortions, making it difficult to discern directions and identify opponents.

Tang San activated his External Soul Bone, the Dreamlike Illusion Eyes.

His gaze pierced through the red mist, seeing through all the illusion within it.

Then, through the Blue Silver Heart-Link, he shared his perception with each of his teammates.

This is the core effect of the Blue Silver Heart-Link skill: through real-time information sharing brought about by the mental connection, each person's perception becomes the perception of seven people.

The red fog is no longer an obstacle.

The Spirit Hall Team, especially Xie Yue and Hu Liena, immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"How is this possible?" The voice came from the Demon Charm, tinged with disbelief. "How come you are unaffected by the red mist?"

Tang San did not answer.

His Fifth Soul Ring lit up, unleashing his Fifth Soul Skill, the Blue Silver Overlord Spear. This was the first time he had used his Fifth Soul Skill in a major tournament.

In Tang San's hand, a long spear, entirely golden in color, materialized.

The gun barrel was straight, the tip was sharp, and its surface shimmered with golden light, exuding a fierce and unparalleled aura of sharpness.

Tang San gripped the spear handle, channeled his Soul Power into it, and a sharp whistling sound erupted from the spear tip.

Soul Breaking Spear Technique.

The spear thrust out, swift as lightning.

The Demon Charm Moon Blade met the attack.

The moment the tip of the Blue Silver Overlord Spear made contact with the Moon Blade, metal clashed and sparks flew.

Xie Yue's pupils suddenly contracted, and a tiny crack appeared on the Moon Blade.

The Blue Silver Overlord Spear possesses terrifying attack power and penetrating force.

Tang San's spear technique was extremely fierce, with each strike aimed directly at the Demon Charm points.

The Demon Charm dared not take the attack head-on any longer; he twisted his body sharply, desperately trying to avoid the spear's edge.

However, Tang San's spear technique was not a series of individual moves, but rather a complete and continuous attack.

The Demon Charm Moon Blade gradually crumbled before the Blue Silver Overlord Spear.

Meanwhile, the battle between Dugu Yan and Yan also reached a fever pitch.

Although Yan's flames could counteract poison, each thrust of Dugu Yan's Eight Spider Lances carried terrifying force, causing Yan's flame armor to vibrate and hum.

Yan gritted his teeth and persevered, but his flames were no match for the Eight Spider Lances.

The two were locked in a fierce struggle.

Xiao Wu's battle with Zhang San continues.

Zhang San's movements were unpredictable; his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track made him elusive, and he no longer engaged in close combat with Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu had fought him once and was already very familiar with his movements.

Compared to yesterday's individual competition, Xiao Wu received a team boost from Tang San and Dugu Yan today, resulting in a significant increase in all her attributes.

The support Soul Masters of the Spirit Hall are mainly designed to enhance the Demon Charm, and the boosts they can provide to other team members are pitifully small.

As the tide receded, Xiao Wu clearly had more control over Zhang San today than yesterday.

Zhang San gritted his teeth and persevered, frantically circulating his Mysterious Heaven Skill within his body in an attempt to compensate for his lack of strength.

But Xiao Wu's attacks were like Stormy Rain, leaving him barely able to parry.
