Third Prince's Team vs. Holy Dragon Sect Team

With the help of the Super Recovery Great Sausage's terrifying regenerative abilities, Oscar engaged in an endless battle with Snow Empress until he was mentally exhausted and stopped to meditate and rest.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye. Oscar had become completely familiar with the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul and its various abilities. Now, with just this Third Martial Soul, Oscar already possessed the strength to contend with ordinary Titled Douluo.

After fully adapting to his increased power, Oscar planned to fuse with the Snow Empress's Soul Spirit.

Oscar had initially hesitated about whether to keep Snow Empress for now, since with her current strength, she was definitely invincible below the Level 99 Peerless Douluo, and there would be no problem using her to protect the Sword Sect.

Once Oscar's own strength has grown, he can then merge with Snow Empress. This way, not only will there be no need to worry about the safety of the Sword Sect, but Oscar can also focus on his own affairs.

However, Oscar quickly rejected this idea, because if he were to fuse with the Snow Empress's Soul Spirit and absorb her seven hundred thousand years of energy, his Soul Power Level could definitely rise from level eighty-eight to level ninety, or even higher.

Once Oscar's strength reaches level 90, his power will likely be no less than that of the Snow Empress at her peak.

Moreover, after reaching level 90, with the super Martial Soul of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion and the terrifying power of Extreme Ice, his strength is absolutely enough to make him the most powerful among all heroes.

Perhaps he is not as good as a level 99 Peerless Douluo, but with the foundation of three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones and the External Soul Bone of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, plus the fully equipped Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul, protecting the Sword Sect is definitely not a problem.

It's just a matter of spending more time adapting to the increased strength. This process will take at most a year and a half, and Oscar's Soul Power may even continue to increase during this time.

Moreover, with the numerous boosts and foundations brought by Snow Empress, Oscar will only grow stronger over time.

With this in mind, Oscar no longer hesitated and directly chose to fuse with Snow Empress's Soul Ring.

Inside the ice cave, the Snow Empress was also prepared, with the Titan Snow Demon King and the Ice Bear King guarding her side. This was a crucial moment concerning the prosperity of the Extreme North, and they would be the witnesses.

The capital of the Star Luo Empire.

Today, Star Luo City is bustling with activity, with a constant stream of people coming and going. The Star Luo City already has a population of one million, is now a hub of activity, as all the nation's genius Soul Master have gathered here.

Pairs of armored soldiers patrolled the city; the Star Luo Empire soldiers, known for their iron will, formed the city's strongest defenses.

At this moment, in the Star Luo Grand Spirit Dueling Arena in the Star Luo City, countless genius Soul Master have gathered here, including high-ranking officials of the empire, outstanding elites from various sects, and even military figures.

Star Luo Emperor Dai Yutian personally attended the event and, amidst the attention of the crowd, announced the opening of the Star Luo Empire's National Elite Spirit Master Soul Dueling Tournament, held every five years.

The National Elite Spirit Master Soul Dueling Tournament is an exclusive competition of the Star Luo Empire, and all participants are geniuses from various sects, nobles, and the military within the empire.

Anyone under thirty years old is eligible to participate. The scale of the competition is almost comparable to the Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament across the continent, and it is even more advanced in nature.

Because this is not an academy competition, but a stage exclusively for the geniuses within the empire to shine brightly.

The iron will of the Star Luo Emperor was forged under this auspicious military fortune.

Although it is also Soul Fighting Tournament, the competition system is different from that of the Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament across the continent.

All young Soul Master aged 30 and under nationwide are eligible to participate; there is no limit to the number of participants.

The competition consists of three rounds. The first round is a team elimination tournament, the same as the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, with teams of seven members.

After advancing from the knockout stage comes the Promotion Match, Promotion Match is an individual competition with rules that are basically the same as the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament.

The only difference is the final match, which is not held on the Spirit Dueling Platform, but in a dedicated competition venue.

That was a venue specially built by the Star Luo Empire for the National Elite Spirit Master Soul Dueling Tournament. It not only had participating Soul Master, but also countless Soul Beasts and various obstacles.

There are no restrictions on any means or methods during the competition. You can even abandon your original teammates and team up with the strongest person. In the end, only ten spots will remain.

The ten finalists will be the strongest among the young Soul Master, and the rewards they receive will be extremely generous.

However, the final rewards will be determined based on the participants' performance and individual abilities, with higher rankings yielding richer rewards.

The rewards might even include Spirit Bone! All the qualifying teams will participate at the same time, making it not only a team competition but also a spectacular individual battle.

Because of the age limit of thirty, the participants are basically all at the Spirit King level, with Soul Ancestor being the bottom, and some exceptionally talented individuals even achieving the rare Soul Emperor level of cultivation.

After Dai Yutian announced the opening ceremony, the referees introduced each team in each match.

Nearly a thousand Soul Master from across the Star Luo Empire participated in the competition. Among them, the teams with the greatest potential to win the championship were: the First Prince's Team, the Third Prince's Team, the Northwest Army Group Team, the North Suppression Army Group Team, the Netherworld Duke's Mansion Team, the Team from Zhennan Duke's Mansion, the Black Tiger Sect Team, and the Holy Dragon Sect Team ...

As can be seen from the names above, the Star Luo Empire's military and high-ranking officials represent the largest number of teams, with the First Prince and the Third Prince being the most important figures in this competition.

The Star Luo Empire's royal family's insidious method of cultivating successors was already well-known. In the previous All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, the Star Luo Royal Academy, led by the First Prince, lost to the Shrek Academy, where the Third Prince was located.

That was the first clash between the two Prince, and this competition will be the second.

If the First Prince can defeat the Third Prince, he will regain his position as crown prince.

If they are defeated again this time, then the position of Crown Prince will probably slip through the fingers of the First Prince.

It is precisely because of this that the participation of the two Prince has made this year's National Elite Spirit Master Soul Dueling Tournament even more exciting.

This competition could potentially determine who will become the crown prince.

If the First Prince wins, it will be a draw; if he loses, his chances are slim, or he may never have another chance.

Because killing is allowed in the National Elite Spirit Master Soul Dueling Tournament, and everyone involved is an adult, if you want high-ranking positions and generous rewards, you have to be willing to risk your life.

This is why the warriors of the Star Luo Empire have such an iron will, because the entire country, from top to bottom, is blessed with military fortune.

Inside the rest room where the Third Prince had joined the team, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun, along with their four teammates, were discussing something around a round table.

Ma Hongjun looked at Dai Mubai: "Mu Bai, your tournament allows kills, so can we take down Dai Weisi in the tournament?"

Dai Mubai nodded, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. Ever since Dai Weisi sent people to assassinate them, he had lost all hope in his elder brother.

"Of course we can. This is the best opportunity for us to deal with Dai Weisi, given the chance we have."

Zhu Zhuqing gently rubbed Dai Mubai's large hand. "You are already level 64, and Hongjun is level 67. With our Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Dai Weisi is definitely no match for us."

Ma Hongjun nodded confidently. "Moreover, with the help of our two elder brothers, Qin Qiong and Long Wu, we have almost no chance of losing this battle."

Qin Qiong and Long Wu are two young men around thirty years old. They are both sons of Ye Haitang, and their fathers are Dragon Master Tiger and Qin Wenlong, respectively.

Both of them are twenty-eight years old this year, and their Soul Power Level is nearly sixty. They can become Soul Emperor in less than two years.

The other two teammates are two of the best individuals Dai Mubai has gathered in his forces: Li Sheng and Zhao Lan. They are 25 and 29 years old respectively, and both possess the strength of a high-level Spirit King.

Their team is fully equipped with offensive, defensive, control, and support roles. The players have been working together for several months and there are no problems with their coordination.

The knockout stage is progressing quickly, with over a hundred teams advancing within two weeks.

Today, Dai Mubai's Third Prince's Team will face the Holy Dragon Sect Team, which has a chance to win the championship.

This clash between the two teams is a rare showdown between strong contenders, something that almost never happens in the knockout stage.

Most importantly, the Holy Dragon Sect Team always has a Soul Emperor- level expert.

In the past, Soul Emperor around the age of thirty were extremely rare, each possessing the potential to become Titled Douluo.

However, in recent decades, geniuses of the Soul Master have sprung up like mushrooms after rain on the mainland. Although most of them are not as good as the super geniuses in the Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament across the continent, they are not far behind.

Everyone thought this was a sign of prosperity for the Spirit Master World, but in reality it was due to the birth of the Child of Destiny, which made the continent's fortune increasingly powerful.

Dai Mubai and his team's competition was on the seventh day. In the previous competitions, many powerful teams had already made their appearances, including many powerful individuals. There were nearly ten Soul Grandmaster at the Soul Emperor level.

Seeing so many talented individuals from the empire, Dai Yutian couldn't help but smile.

Although some people from the Heaven Dou Empire and even the Spirit Hall were mixed in, Dai Yutian did not delve into it, because in any case, the arrival of these geniuses would promote the prosperity of his country's martial arts.

Moreover, given Dai Mubai's current talent, there may be no distinction between the Star Luo Empire and Heaven Dou in the future.

Although Dai Yutian does not favor any of his children, Dai Mubai, who is seven years younger than Dai Weisi, has already reached level sixty-four in cultivation, surpassing his older brother Dai Weisi in strength.

Even though that brat Dai Weisi played some tricks and secretly colluded with the Spirit Hall, Dai Mubai and Oscar, the heir of the Sword Sect, are close friends, so the difference in their external support is probably not that great.

Therefore, in the end, the two legitimate sons will be the ones to decide the winner. Moreover, Dai Mubai has Ma Hongjun by his side, and this guy's talent is even better than Dai Mubai's.

If Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing hadn't possessed Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Ma Hongjun might have been the strongest.

The Star Luo Emperor was well aware of almost everything, and as long as nothing unexpected happened, he would turn a blind eye.

After all, he wasn't much better off than his two sons back then.

In the morning, under bright sunshine, the match between the Third Prince's Team and the Holy Dragon Sect Team began.

At the referee's signal, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing walked side by side onto the Spirit Dueling Platform, with Ma Hongjun and the other team members following behind them with stern expressions.

Opposite them, the seven members of the Holy Dragon Sect Team also sized them up with cold expressions.

The Holy Dragon Sect has already secretly allied with the Spirit Hall. This time, with the First Prince Davis cooperating with the Spirit Hall, the Holy Dragon Sect naturally wanted to take the lead and claim credit.

If they could get rid of Dai Mubai for the Spirit Hall and Dai Weisi, their status in the Spirit Hall and in Dai Weisi's heart would naturally rise accordingly.

Tuoba Hu took the lead, sending six of the sect's most outstanding young members into battle. This time, he was determined to make the Holy Dragon Sect famous throughout the world.

The referee, a Soul Grandmaster at the Soul Douluo level, introduced the two teams in turn.

The Third Prince's Team.

Captain: Dai Mubai, Martial Soul: White Tiger, Level 64 Assault System Spirit Emperor.

Vice Captain: Ma Hongjun, Martial Soul: Fire Phoenix, Level 67 Assault System Spirit Emperor.

Team member: Zhu Zhuqing, Martial Soul: Hell Spirit Cat, Level 56 Agile Attack System Attack Spirit King.

Team member Long Wu, Martial Soul: Lion King Armor, Level 57 Defense System Attack Spirit King.

Team member Qin Qiong, Martial Soul: War Dragon Halberd, Level 58 Assault System Attack Spirit King.

Team member Zhao Lan, Martial Soul: Wind Flute, Level 55 Support System- type Attack Spirit King.

Team member Li Sheng, Martial Soul: Heavenly Machine Lock, Level 55 Control Spirit King.

After introducing the seven individuals, the referee said excitedly, "Among them, the Third Prince Dai Mubai, his fiancée Zhu Zhuqing, and the vice-captain Ma Hongjun are all super prodigies of the younger generation. They were all champions of the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament three years ago and are key members of the Shrek Academy."

"Now Ma Hongjun has the highest Soul Power Level among the known participating teams. I am looking forward to seeing the wonderful performance of these three super geniuses."

As soon as the referee finished speaking, a deafening wave of cheers erupted from the 100,000 people in the entire Spirit Arena. Most of them had watched the elimination rounds of the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament and were familiar with Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai.

Now that they meet again, I wonder how much these prodigies have improved their strength? After introducing the Third Prince's Team, it's time for the Holy Dragon Sect Team.

The Holy Dragon Sect Team.

Captain: Tuoba Hu, Martial Soul: White Armored Earth Dragon, Level 61 Assault System Spirit Emperor.

Vice Captain: Tuoba Gui, Martial Soul: White Armored Earth Dragon, Level 58 Assault System Attack Spirit King.

Team member: Tuoba Li, Martial Soul: White Armored Earth Dragon, Level 56 Assault System Attack Spirit King.

Team member: Tuoba Xi, Martial Soul: White Armored Earth Dragon, Level 56 Assault System Attack Spirit King.

Team member: Tuoba Hong, Martial Soul: White Armored Earth Dragon, Level 56 Assault System Attack Spirit King.

Team member: Tuoba Gang, Martial Soul: White Armored Earth Dragon, Level 55 Assault System Attack Spirit King.

Team member: Tuoba Rong, Martial Soul: White Armored Earth Dragon, Level 55 Assault System Attack Spirit King.

The seven members of the Holy Dragon Sect Team were all close to thirty years old. Among them, Tuoba Hu was the most talented among the younger generation of the Holy Dragon Sect. With the resources provided by the Spirit Hall over the years, he had already reached the level of a sixty-first-level Soul Emperor at the age of thirty.

After introducing the Holy Dragon Sect Team, the referee further highlighted their formidable characteristics. "It is said that the Holy Dragon Sect Team also possesses a rare group Martial Soul Fusion Skill. This battle will truly be a clash of geniuses!"

After introducing the two teams, the referee continued, "Now, please have both Soul Master release their Martial Soul."

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