Spirit Jade Academy vs. Spirit Hall Academy

Oscar's power shocked everyone. They originally thought that Ao Yue was already an invincible existence, but they did not expect that Oscar was even more powerful.

The memory of Ao Yue slaying seven people with seven swords is still vivid, but now, even with Xie Yue Ao Yue together, they are no match for Oscar.

How could a Soul Master's strength have reached such a level? Are all geniuses this monstrous?

Even with level 55, and the addition of Ao Yue Xie Yue, he still lost to Oscar.

Is this the true strength of the Sword Sect's successor? Ao Yue was defeated. He sheathed his Frost Moon Sword, glanced deeply at Oscar, and left without looking back.

Hu Liena watched Ao Yue's departing figure, knowing that he must be feeling terrible, but she couldn't just follow him.

After a long silence, the referee's voice finally rang out. "Oscar of Shrek Academy wins. Spirit Hall Academy and Lingyu Academy will compete in the team battle this afternoon. The winner will face Shrek Academy in the final tomorrow."

Hearing the referee's words, Xie Yue's eyes showed a hint of displeasure. He had thought this was an opportunity, but he hadn't expected Oscar to be so powerful.

Even though he joined forces with Ao Yue without reservation, he still lost in the end. This was even more stimulating than the fact that he couldn't beat Ao Yue.

Moreover, they were going to fight another match against Ao Yue in the afternoon, turning former allies into competitors.

Most importantly, Spirit Jade Academy is no pushover. With three Spirit Kings and four Soul Ancestor Spirit Jade Academy, they would probably have to reveal their trump cards to defeat them.

Unless Spirit Jade Academy voluntarily admits defeat, they will lose all their advantage and may even be at a disadvantage when facing Shrek Academy in the future.

Ao Yue's strength is personal, but the members of the Spirit Jade Academy are equally powerful. In Team Battle, Spirit Hall Academy may not be able to guarantee a complete victory.

Of course, this is without using any of our trump cards.

But if they use their trump card, wouldn't Shrek Academy also know what it is? They can target it in tomorrow's finals, and that trump card might not be effective then.

After the results were announced, everyone left the venue in an orderly manner, waiting for the afternoon's match between the Spirit Hall Academy and Spirit Jade Academy to begin.

After leaving the field, Hu Liena went directly to Ao Yue. Now that the result is out, there's nothing she can do, even if she's unwilling. She can only try to find a solution.

When they found Ao Yue, he was sitting alone in a small tavern, holding a bottle of sake and drinking it, his eyes revealing neither joy nor sorrow.

Hu Liena sat down next to Ao Yue and felt heartbroken to see him like this. Ao Yue a proud man, and this was a great blow to him.

If Ao Yue had lost one-on-one, he might not have been as discouraged as he is now, but the fact that he and Xie Yue, even when they joined forces, were still no match for him is a huge blow to his confidence.

"Are you... alright?" Hu Liena asked softly.

Ao Yue looked up at Hu Liena and said, "Do you think I still have a chance? He's only sixteen years old, yet he already has such strength. No wonder the elders dote on him so much."

Hu Liena paused, unsure how to respond.

Oscar was too strong. The rain of swords was still fresh in Hu Liena's mind. Even if she went up there, she would only be riddled with holes.

Let alone those of the same level, even if Soul Emperor went up against him, Oscar would be fearless, or even able to defeat him, right? Fourth Spirit Ring at ten thousand years old, truly terrifying.

It's unbelievable that Oscar could absorb Soul Ring beyond his level; this is simply unheard of.

Hu Liena patted Ao Yue on the back and took the bottle from his hand. "Don't get drunk, there's another battle this afternoon."

Ao Yue looked up at Hu Liena: "I thought you came to persuade me to admit defeat."

Hu Liena smiled slightly, "I understand you. You won't do it, so I don't want to waste my breath. I just hope you can give it your all and don't hold back your discomfort."

A gentle whisper rang in Ao Yue's ear. Ao Yue stroked Hu Liena's soft hair. "Aren't you afraid of revealing your trump card to the Shrek Academy?"

Hu Liena nodded. "Of course I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid that you'll become discouraged and lose your spirit."

"And didn't you say that true geniuses are never afraid of setbacks? Since this is the only path to take, then let's go all out."

"Besides, even if they find out, so what? We might not lose. Oscar is indeed powerful, but he's still just a person."

Ao Yue nodded. "But don't forget, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing have Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and Ma Hongjun is also level 55. If you defeat me today, tomorrow will also be a tough battle."

Hu Liena chuckled upon hearing this, "I don't care about that now, all I care about is beating you guys this afternoon."

Pope's Palace.

Only Pope Bibi Dong, the two generals Hum and Ha Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, and the newly promoted Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang remained in the main hall.

Yu Xiaogang recalled memories from many years ago and said slowly, "Back then, I didn't know the child's identity. Now it seems that the Sword Sect may have already started paving the way for Oscar. The children around him are all geniuses."

"At sixteen years old and level fifty-five, with a ten-thousand-year-old Fourth Spirit Ring, his threat is definitely no less than Tang San's."

Chrysanthemum Douluo said, "Grandmaster, let's not talk about Oscar for now. You said that Tang San is Tang Hao's son, but Tang Hao hasn't shown up yet, and Tang San has never shown his Second Martial Soul. Is this child really as gifted as you say?"

Yu Xiaogang replied with his neck stiff, "I absolutely did not lie about this. Since Tang Hao has a grudge against the Spirit Hall, he naturally cannot let Tang San go. I know about his talent."

Ghost Douluo suddenly said, "Your Majesty, why don't we just arrest Tang San directly? Oscar can't be touched, but Tang San is a piece of cake."

Bibi Dong glanced at the three of them, then fell silent. After a long while, she slowly said, "Let's see the final results of tomorrow's competition first. If anyone makes a mistake in the Spirit Hall during the competition, it will damage its prestige."

Yu Xiaogang paused for a moment, but ultimately didn't say anything, and could only agree.

Bibi Dong waved her hand, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo left, leaving only Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong in the main hall.

With no outsiders around, Bibi Dong shed her Pope majesty and looked at Yu Xiaogang with a gleam in her eyes. "Xiaogang, I will avenge the injustice you suffered, but now is not the time."

"Oscar may be exceptionally talented, but he is backed by the Sword Sect. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also has close ties with the Sword Sect. If we make a move now, it will ruin my plans."

Upon hearing these words, Yu Xiaogang's neck finally softened. "I understand, I'll do whatever you say."

Bibi Dong continued, "Now that Ao Yue has lost to Oscar, he probably won't be able to compete with Oscar in the future. It all depends on how much strength Ao Yue still has left in the Sword Sect."

Yu Xiaogang suddenly said, "Use poison? With your skills, dealing with Oscar without anyone noticing shouldn't be a problem."

Bibi Dong paused for a moment, then said, "With the Fifth Elder of the Sword Sect following, there's no chance to make a move. If I openly approach him, I'll be the prime suspect if something happens to Oscar, so I can't poison him."

After a long silence, Yu Xiaogang slowly said, "Then the only chance is on the Spirit Dueling Platform."

Bibi Dong nodded. "I've already told Nana, she'll do a good job."

Yu Xiaogang replied, "Thank you."

Both of them had gone a bit crazy and wanted Oscar dead, but fortunately they weren't stupid. They knew that Oscar was backed by the Sword Sect and wouldn't put everything out in the open, which gave Oscar room to maneuver.

Moreover, both Oscar and Ao Yue are merely clones; their true forms are currently attempting to break through the level 60 bottleneck in the Star Dou Great Forest!

Even if they are plotted against, it won't harm Oscar himself, so there's no need to worry too much.

In the afternoon, the battle between the Spirit Hall Academy and the Spirit Jade Academy began.

The Spirit Jade Academy's representatives are: Ao Yue, Martial Soul: Frost Moon Sword, Level 55 Assault System Attack Spirit King.

Fu Zi, Martial Soul: Cat Owl, Level 52 Agile Attack System Attack Spirit King.

Liu Yunxi, Martial Soul: Crimson Flame Dragon, Level 51 Assault System Attack Spirit King.

Zhao Lei, Martial Soul: Great Vajra Bear, Level 48 Attack Spirit Master.

Lu Qi, Martial Soul: Star Luo Chess, Level 47 Control Spirit Master.

Li Song, Martial Soul: Dragon Pattern Cudgel, Level 46 Attack Spirit Master.

Shao Yan, Martial Soul: Candy Beans, Level 45 Support Spirit Master.

List of participants from the Spirit Hall Academy: Xie Yue, Martial Soul: Moon Blade, Level 52 Agile Attack System Attack Spirit King.

Yan, Martial Soul: Flame Lord, Level 52 Assault System Attack Spirit King.

Hu Liena, Martial Soul: Demon Fox, Level 51 Control Spirit King.

Sun Chuantao, Martial Soul: Ring Great Blade, Level 48 Attack Spirit Master.

Li Kai, Martial Soul: Black Horn Mountain Pig, Level 47 Defense Spirit Master.

Zhang Ping, Martial Soul: Golden-Waisted Flying Swallow, Level 46 Agile Attack System Spirit Master.

Xu Yu, Martial Soul: Brilliant Gold Scepter, Level 45 Support Spirit Master.

In terms of Soul Power Level, apart from Ao Yue at level 55, the others are roughly equal in strength, basically in a state of even match.

The Shrek Academy students were seated in the spectator stands. Their purpose was to observe the Spirit Hall Academy's fighting style and Soul Skill. If Spirit Jade Academy lost, they could better formulate a plan to counter the Spirit Hall Academy the next day.

Yu Xiaogang was perhaps the only one who sensed something was wrong. He didn't recognize Zhao Wuji and the others, but he found Fu Zi and Liu Yunxi strangely familiar.

The Cat Owl and Crimson Flame Dragon Martial Soul were so similar to his two former friends. Yu Xiaogang unconsciously glanced at Flender and Liu Erlong in the spectator stands, but seeing their intimate appearance, he only lingered for a moment before looking away.

There are all sorts of Martial Soul in the world, and it's not uncommon for similar ones to appear. Moreover, Fu Zi and Liu Yunxi are from the Spirit Jade Academy, which means they are geniuses trained by the Spiritual Jade Sword Sect and have nothing to do with the Shrek Academy.

Flender and Liu Erlong noticed Yu Xiaogang's gaze for a moment, and both of them had a strange expression.

In fact, from the very beginning when they saw Yu Xiaogang, they couldn't sit still, especially Liu Erlong, who knew that Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong had a past relationship.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Yu Xiaogang has gotten back together with Bibi Dong.

Originally, Liu Erlong still had some expectations for Yu Xiaogang, but when she saw Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong standing together, all of those expectations vanished.

These past few days, Flender has been comforting Liu Erlong, and the two have inevitably become a little closer.

In fact, Flender is not the kind of person who takes advantage of others in distress, but his concern and love for Liu Erlong are definitely the strongest, and this has never changed over the years.

Now that Liu Erlong has given up on Yu Xiaogang, Flender finally sees hope. However, he is not in a hurry and simply accompanies Liu Erlong silently until she gets over her inner turmoil.

Bibi Dong noticed Yu Xiaogang's gaze, her expression becoming somewhat peculiar. She whispered to Yu Xiaogang beside her, "How do you feel seeing the two of them together?"

Yu Xiaogang paused for a moment before slowly saying, "It's all in the past. From now on, you'll be the only one in my heart."

Bibi Dong's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, but in her heart, she had already added Flender and Liu Erlong to her kill list. When the time was right, she would kill all those who had offended her and Yu Xiaogang...

Bibi Dong said softly, "Let's watch the game."

At this moment, the fourteen people in the Spirit Arena had released their Martial Soul, and the four colors of Soul Ring —white, yellow, purple, and black—were shining brightly. The only one that surprised people was Li Song from the Spirit Jade Academy, whose First Spirit Ring was only white.

Geniuses of this caliber generally have the best Spirit Ring Configuration, and it's rare to see someone like Li Song.

"The match begins!"

At the referee's command, the two pairs of players instantly unleashed their Soul Power, and the Star Luo Chess unfolded in an instant. Two purple Soul Ring lit up, and the black and white chessboard encompassed a fifty-meter diameter area in the center of the Spirit Arena.

The Great Vajra Bear roared and charged directly at the Black Horn Mountain Pig. Li Song, wielding his Dragon Pattern Cudgel, clashed with the Ring Great Blade.

Hu Liena and Xie Yue merged into one, and Bewitching Charm instantly appeared. The red mist began to spread, weakening everyone's attributes.

Ao Yue unleashed the power of his Ice Sword, its icy sword energy blazing like a rainbow, as he faced the Bewitching Charm alone.

Yan and Crimson Flame Dragon Liu Yunxi engaged in close combat, while Fu Zi faced off against the Agile Attack System Spirit Master Zhang Ping.

In an instant, the Soul Power Light shone brightly in the Spirit Arena as the students of the Spirit Jade Academy and the students of the Spirit Hall Academy clashed together.

Lu Qi's Star Luo Chess Formation has too many limitations. Whenever the Spirit Hall members and the Spirit Jade Academy members engage in battle, countless chess pieces fly out to lock onto the Spirit Hall members.

The Bewitching Charm's suppression is effective against everyone, so the Bewitching Charm immediately moved to the side to fight with Ao Yue in order not to affect the performance of his teammates.

Therefore, with Lu Qi, a Control System character, now having more combat power on the field, Spirit Jade Academy gained the upper hand on the main battlefield.

Xu Yu's Brilliant Gold Scepter shone brightly, providing various support abilities to his teammates, which barely allowed them to reach a draw.

However, Shao Yan also provided his teammates with various Candy Beans in time, Spirit Jade Academy still maintained an advantage on the main battlefield.

On the other side, Bewitching Charm was only barely suppressing Ao Yue, and was unable to end the battle in a short time.

For a time, the two teams miraculously maintained a state of even strength, depleting each other's Soul Power. Now they were competing in endurance.

However, Shao Yan's Candy Beans are mainly for recovery, so in terms of consumption, the Spirit Hall Academy has no advantage at all.

P. S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
