The Tournament Continues, the Finals Begin
It must be said that all the teams that made it through the Preliminary Selection were strong teams, but even among these strong teams, there were differences in strength.
For a team to be competitive in the Grand Finals, it needs at least three Soul Ancestor experts to have any fighting chance on the Grand Finals stage.
As for Shrek, Tang San has returned to the academy team after some twists and turns. Now, with a Soul King and all Soul Ancestor, they can be considered the strongest team outside of the Spirit Hall Academy, and their strength is visibly formidable.
Perhaps influenced by Su He, nothing like the melodramatic plot of being attacked on the way to Spirit City happened in this life. Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo are still stationed on the Sun Moon Continent and haven't returned yet.
However, Tang San's identity had already been exposed, and along the way, reconnaissance Soul Master from the Spirit Hall were constantly monitoring Tang San's movements.
Meanwhile, Sea God Island, located far across from Vast Sea City, also made new moves.
A bright blue light shone on Sea God Mountain, seemingly following a divine decree from the Sea God. Five figures, draped in long robes, landed in Vast Sea City and rapidly moved towards Spirit City in the inland region. This scene was recorded by the reconnaissance Soul Master of the Spirit Hall.
"Xue Qinghe" would not leave Heaven Dou City to watch the match in Spirit City, so Qian Renxue once again arranged everything to her substitute, while she transformed into her original form and sat in the carriage with Su He.
The two of them blended into the main group just like ordinary contestants, enjoying a kind of fun they wouldn't normally experience.
Yan, on the other hand, sneaked into the Skywater Academy's car and never came out again, leaving Su He speechless.
However, he didn't say anything, but instead told his brother to enjoy the fun of dating.
After a long and tiring journey, the group finally arrived in Spirit City after ten days of bumpy carriage travel. Only then did Yan reluctantly release Shui Bing'er and return to his own camp at the Spirit Hall Academy.
Su He and Qian Renxue naturally went to the Spirit Hall Academy's camp, where Hu Liena, Xie Yue sister, along with Li Kai, Zhang Ping, Sun Chuantao, and Xu Yu, the main team members, had been waiting for a long time.
Upon seeing Su He enter the barracks, everyone present greeted him as "Captain."
"Have you all seen the draw results? Who will you face in the first round?"
Su He asked.
"Captain, the first round is against those unlucky guys from the Barak Academy."
"Luofuji is just a level 42 Soul Ancestor. You can arrange how to promote him yourselves. I will continue to cultivate in seclusion for the time being. Call me when the final three are in the Grand Finals."
Su He instructed, not that he was being arrogant, but he really had no interest in showing off when facing such a weak team.
Shrek Academy's draw was quite interesting; in the first round, they were matched against their old rival, Canghui Academy.
During the Preliminary Selection, Tang San was absent, Canghui Academy gave Shrek Academy a lot of trouble. Fortunately, Jing Ling, Agility-Attack Spirit Master, seized the opportunity to disrupt the gem environment, which allowed Shrek to turn the tide and win.
This time, with Tang San present, the outcome was obvious: Canghui Academy was quickly expelled.
Shrek had Promotion Round. Meanwhile, Spirit Hall Academy crushed the previously invincible Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the second round, advancing to the third round.
Ten teams participated in the third round. The Spirit Hall Academy Team and the Star Luo Royal Academy Team, which had never received a bye, were given bye spots, while the remaining eight teams began the ruthless elimination rounds.
Shrek's opponent in this round is Skywater Academy, which is ranked first in the Promotion Round.
The clash between the two strongest teams, ranked first and second in the Preliminary Round, naturally attracted the attention of countless viewers.
Shrek struggled against the powerful Skywater Academy, but Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer danced with Ultimate Ice speed. Facing the Ice and Snow Drifting Ice Phoenix, Martial Soul Fusion Skill that had reached the pinnacle of ice, Tang San raised his Clear Sky Hammer to meet the enemy head-on. With his powerful Ten Thousand Year Spirit Skill and the exquisite hammer technique personally instructed by Tang Hao, Tang San ultimately defeated Skywater Academy by a narrow margin.
Looking at Shui Bing'er, who was extremely weak and depleted of her Soul Power, in his arms, Yan and Tang San locked eyes for the first time, and from that moment on, sparks flew.
Skywater Academy was unfortunately eliminated in the top ten, and the final qualifying spots for the third round were:
The Spirit Hall Academy Team, Star Luo Royal Academy Team, Shrek Academy Team, Blazing Academy, Godwind Academy Team, Thunder Academy.
The fourth round, the six-to-three competition.
The match between the Spirit Hall Academy Team and the Thunder Academy team has already introduced some strange problems.
Thunder Academy used an extremely powerful Four-in-One Fusion Skill, gathering the powerful strength of four Soul Master Soul Ancestor level to forcibly push Yu Tianxin to a level close to Soul Emperor.
Seeing this, the Golden Generation couldn't help but call back Li Kai, Zhang Ping, and the others who were fighting fiercely earlier, and they sat up and fought themselves.
Yan, the Blazing Fire Saint Lord, made his first public appearance in the competition, his six Soul Ring —yellow, purple, black, and dark black—exuding a silent intimidation.
What good is the Four-in-One Fusion Skill? In the face of absolute power, it's all just empty talk. In the end Yu Tianxin's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was mercilessly cut down by the powerful Blazing Fire Saint Lord wielding the Flaming Holy Sword, Spirit Hall Academy secured another spot for advancement!
Yan's exposed strength was a huge blow to the other teams. The despairing power gap between the Soul Emperor level teams had almost secured the championship for the Spirit Hall Academy Team. However, in the Shrek Academy camp, the team members still did not give up.
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang reassured his team members, and he also revealed the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill as his trump card to the finalists.
In fact, the Four-in-One Fusion Skill used by the Thunder Academy was the work of Grandmaster, who is Yu Tianxin's uncle. It's just a pity that Thunder Academy was still mercilessly crushed by the powerful Yan and the Blazing Fire Saint Lord, so it was of little use.
Shrek Academy faced their old rival, Blazing Academy, and once again crushed them, forcing Blazing Academy to stop at the top six. Along with them went home the group from the Godwind Academy, who had been mercilessly torn apart by the Hell White Tiger. All Five Elements Academy were eliminated so far. Following the example of the previously eliminated Heavenly Water Women's Team, Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian decided to watch the final championship match to see who would claim it.
By this point, the final three had been determined, and the fifth and final round of the Grand Finals officially began.
The fifth round of the Grand Finals will be an individual competition, with the top three teams vying for first place. The competition will officially begin tomorrow afternoon.
In other words, the final champion will be decided among the Spirit Hall Academy Team, the Star Luo Royal Academy Team, and the Shrek Academy Team!
