After coming under attack, Chen Fang reacted quickly. He stopped taking the blows head-on, dodged the following wind blades, then stomped on the ground and leaped into the air with the tremendous recoil, rising to Li Hong's height.

At the same time, a glint flashed in Chen Fang's eyes. The Ten Thousand Year Silver Moon Wolf King's skull bone skill, Mental Confusion, activated.

Li Hong's eyes instantly went blank. He stopped casting his Third Spirit Ability and fell toward the arena.

Just before he struck the ground, Li Hong's eyes suddenly regained their focus. His Third Spirit Ability activated again, while his First Spirit Ability, Wind Blade Array, fired at the ground, using the enormous recoil to rise once more.

But before he could rise very high, Chen Fang was already descending from directly above him.

His first three spirit rings lit up simultaneously. At Chen Fang's current weight, even the Thunder Academy team had struggled to withstand him back then, let alone Li Hong alone.

Fortunately, Li Hong reacted swiftly, twisting aside and narrowly dodging the attack.

Though Chen Fang suffered a tremendous impact upon landing, it was nothing to his defensive ability. He immediately charged at Li Hong, and his Fourth Spirit Ring lit up as well.

Li Hong immediately felt his mobility plummet. Then Chen Fang crashed into him, sending him flying out of the arena.

This meant that Godwind Academy had lost its final chance in the individual matches.

Next, Tang San walked onto the arena.

As the referee announced the start of the match, a small dark-gold hammer appeared in Tang San's hand. At the same time, the Eight Spider Lances extended from his back, carrying him swiftly across the ground.

Chen Fang reacted quickly. He directly unleashed his Fifth Spirit Ability, Flame Fury, and attacked Tang San head-on.

Chen Fang knew very well that he had expended a considerable amount of Soul Power in his battle with Li Hong. Defeating Tang San was already nearly impossible; all he could do was try his best to drain Tang San's Soul Power.

The Clear Sky Hammer collided with Chen Fang's fists several times. Then Chen Fang's Fourth Spirit Ring lit up, and Tang San was immediately trapped in the Magma Mire.

However, Tang San's expression did not change. He smashed the Clear Sky Hammer into the ground and began using the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.

How could Chen Fang allow Tang San to complete his chain of attacks? He immediately used the soul bone skill, Mental Confusion.

However, with Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes cultivation, he naturally had nothing to fear. He directly blocked the Mental Confusion attack.

After clashing more than a dozen times with Tang San, who was using the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, Chen Fang finally ran out of Soul Power and was defeated.

The final member of the Spirit Hall team to take the field was Liu Xiaoxiao.

Holding Moon Blades in both hands, Liu Xiaoxiao stared at Tang San and pondered, My martial soul is the Moon Blade, yet Tang San is a master of hidden weapons. My skills are probably nothing more than showing off before an expert... Thinking carefully, Hu Liena's Charm and Chen Fang's Fire attribute also happen to be countered by Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes and the Infernal Delicate Apricot. If I win this match, we'll have ample time to recover. By then, whether we face the exhausted Shrek Seven Devils or the Godwind Academy team, we'll have absolute confidence. But if I lose, defeating the Godwind Academy team and the Shrek Seven Devils in succession will be much harder...

As Liu Xiaoxiao thought, sweat continuously beaded on his forehead.

My Fourth Spirit Ability, Poison Blade, is utterly useless against a poison user like Tang San, and the Fire attribute attached to my Fifth Spirit Ability, Flame Blade, is equally ineffective against him... Liu Xiaoxiao rapidly considered his options. What other way do I have to win? Use Full Moon to take us both down? Or use that move...

While Liu Xiaoxiao was still thinking, the match had already begun.

Tang San withdrew the Clear Sky Hammer from his hand, replacing it with stalks of Blue Silver Grass.

Tang San's Third Spirit Ring silently lit up, and Spider Web Restraint shot toward Liu Xiaoxiao in an instant.

Liu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly. His Third Spirit Ring lit up, and the two Moon Blades instantly fused into one enormous Moon Blade, colliding fiercely with the Spider Web Restraint.

The Spider Web Restraint shattered in an instant, but Liu Xiaoxiao simultaneously recalled his two Moon Blades.

The Moon Blades flew from Liu Xiaoxiao's hands once more, but this time they traveled along two strange arcs.

Using the Eight Spider Lances, Tang San rapidly retreated. At the same time, layers upon layers of Blue Silver Prison appeared before him, trying to block the Moon Blades' attack.

The Moon Blades were exceptionally sharp, cutting through layer after layer of Blue Silver Prison. However, by the time they reached Tang San, more than half their power had been diminished, and Tang San blocked them with the Eight Spider Lances.

Recalling the Moon Blades once again, Liu Xiaoxiao steadily closed in on Tang San.

Putting away the Blue Silver Grass, Tang San switched his martial soul back to the Clear Sky Hammer.

The two Moon Blades flew out once more, but this time, they were launched one after the other.

The five-hundred-jin Clear Sky Hammer in Tang San's hand collided fiercely with the first Moon Blade. Both were knocked away, and the deflected Clear Sky Hammer then struck the second Moon Blade. Though the Clear Sky Hammer's force had weakened considerably, it still changed the Moon Blade's direction.

"Two birds with one stone..." Liu Xiaoxiao muttered. At the same time, his First Spirit Ring lit up without a sound. The two deflected Moon Blades curved around and attacked Tang San again.

This was Liu Xiaoxiao's First Spirit Ability, Spinning Blade. Although Spinning Blade itself merely allowed the blades to curve back, through Liu Xiaoxiao's meticulous training, he could freely alter the Moon Blades' direction.

The Clear Sky Hammer had yet to return. Tang San had nowhere to dodge and could only use the Eight Spider Lances to block head-on.

However, the two Moon Blades seemed to possess a will of their own. Attacking from both front and back, they forcibly evaded the Eight Spider Lances' defense. The tremendous force carried by the Moon Blades slammed into Tang San's body, making him spit out a mouthful of blood.

By controlling the force of the two Moon Blades, Liu Xiaoxiao steadily forced Tang San toward the edge of the arena.

There were no unnecessary movements, because Liu Xiaoxiao knew that once Tang San regained his bearings, the outcome would likely become uncertain again.

Pinned down by the two Moon Blades' pincer attack, Tang San could not move at all and was thrown off the arena just like that.

"Hah." Only then did Liu Xiaoxiao realize that his temples were already covered in sweat.

"If Chen Fang hadn't helped me drain most of Tang San's Soul Power, I wouldn't have been able to defeat him." Liu Xiaoxiao shook his head. "No matter what, at least we won. Our chances in the matches ahead are still quite good."

The individual matches ultimately ended in victory for the Spirit Hall Academy team.

After the matches ended, the members of all three teams returned to their lodgings and began treating their injuries and recovering their Soul Power.

That night.

"According to the others in Spirit Hall, the Shrek Seven Devils still used the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill and unleashed the Clear Sky True Body." Liu Xiaoxiao muttered to himself. "That makes sense. Even if they trusted me, they would still think we had a method to counter the Clear Sky True Body and were deliberately baiting them into using it. Fine. With their Soul Power expenditure, how could they possibly contend with me? In the finals, victory will definitely be mine."
