Bibi Dong's Hopes

After the first day of the competition, Chen Feng and his team did not have any further contact with Dai Weisi and his team.

This was to avoid alerting the Spirit Hall.

It's understandable that the two sides would get together when they first arrived; it's like brothers and sisters reuniting and catching up.

However, they couldn't reunite after the first round of the competition.

Especially given that the two families will face each other in the next round, any further contact at this point would be a clear message to the Spirit Hall that they intend to cause trouble during the competition.

Therefore, to prevent any unforeseen complications, Chen Feng and his team went straight back to the Hotel to rest after the first day of the competition.

On the second day of the competition, Star Luo Royal Academy, citing excessive fatigue from the previous day's match, directly announced their defeat.

The Spirit Hall made no comment on this, seemingly having anticipated it.

In the match against the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the Spirit Hall Elite Team once again displayed their prowess. Hu Liena's precision control, combined with the Evil Blade Lord, severely injured Tang Ying, who had performed brilliantly in the previous match.

Then, even with Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan working together, they were no match for the Evil Blade Lord, and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was defeated.

On the VIP platform, Dugu Bo sighed softly; he could accept the result.

Although Dugu Yan lost, she was not seriously injured, which meant that Xie Yue and the others had held back.

Similarly, Yu Tianheng's injuries weren't too serious, mainly because of the Grandmaster's influence.

Tang Ying was rather unlucky. He didn't have a strong background, and he posed a great threat on the field, so he naturally became the target of Xie Yue and his group's relentless attacks.

However, the Spirit Hall arranged for a high-level healing Soul Master to treat his injuries, and since he was not crippled, Tang Ying couldn't say anything wrong.

After the second round of competition, only the Nine-Headed Serpent Team and the Spirit Hall Elite Team remained out of the eight teams.

The final champion will be one of these two.

There is no doubt that Nine-Headed Serpent Team needs to devise a strategy for the final Finals.

As one of the team's tactical planners, Chen Feng's first task was to consider how to deal with the opponent's two Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Like the Thirty-Six Consecutive Wind Slashes, the Bewitching Charm Martial Soul Fusion Skill also has two versions.

The dual-player version of the Bewitching Charm is controlled by Hu Liena and Xie Yue.

It can reduce everyone's senses by 50%, suppress their Soul Power by 50%, and slow down all their actions by 50% within the skill's control range.

Once inside the red mist released by the Bewitching Charm, one's combat power will be significantly limited.

However, this Martial Soul Fusion Skill is actually relatively easy to deal with because it has a range, which can be avoided by flying.

In addition, the Purple Demon Eye can also see through the Bewitching Charm red mist, rendering the Bewitching Charm senses ineffective.

The trio of Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan is Bewitching Charm.

It will become a powerful magic damage dealer, with its purple flame barrage falling from the sky covering almost the entire arena, including the sky area.

In this situation, the only option is to use powerful offensive skills like Clear Sky True Body to fight fire with fire; dodging and defense are not very meaningful.

However, Clear Sky True Body certainly cannot be used in the Finals, otherwise Chen Feng's previous efforts would all be in vain.

In other words, Chen Feng absolutely cannot allow the three-person version of Bewitching Charm to appear in the Finals.

As for the Evil Blade Lord, although it looks very powerful and has shown great prowess in the previous two rounds, it is not something that Chen Feng and his team cannot handle head-on.

So, who is the core of the Bewitching Charm, or rather, the primary target of the Cycle of Rebirth?

Judging from the composition of the two versions of the Bewitching Charm, Hu Liena and Xie Yue are clearly very important parts, while Yan is more like an extra.

If we also consider the existence of the Evil Blade Lord, then Xie Yue seems to be the person Chen Feng should target with the Cycle of Rebirth.

Because he participated in all three of these Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

As a spirit-type Soul Master, Hu Liena's mental control abilities, combined with the Evil Blade Lord's, are extremely difficult to deal with. Furthermore, she is a key member of the Bewitching Charm faction, making her a secondary target.

In other words, either Xie Yue or Hu Liena must be eliminated, and this will depend on Chen Feng's Cycle of Rebirth.

As for the remaining opponents, they will need to be dealt with by Chen Feng's teammates.

After returning to the Academy, Chen Feng briefly explained his analysis, but he omitted the details about the three's Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

The others had no objection to targeting Xie Yue first. The Cycle of Rebirth had been hidden until now to target the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and it would be much easier if they could take down the Evil Blade Lord.

However, Tang San then raised a question, "What if the opponent is prepared? After all, we have demonstrated how to deal with Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

Chen Feng already had a plan for this, "So I won't use it in the Finals. On the one hand, it will lower the opponent's guard, and on the other hand, I won't be able to use Yang Sword anymore, which will weaken the tactical effect of Mass Frenzy."

Meng Yiran had no objection to this. Her strength was not bad, and if she were in another Academy, she would have no problem becoming a main player.

However, among the eleven members of the Nine-Headed Serpent Team, her combat strength could only be ranked in the lower middle range. She was already mentally prepared for the possibility of not being able to participate in the Finals against a strong opponent like the Spirit Hall Elite Team.

"Also, Hongjun and Xiangxiang won't be playing in the Finals." Chen Feng continued to arrange the competition lineup.

Bai Chenxiang had no objection, but Ma Hongjun was puzzled. "Bro Feng, am I not going to play?"

Chen Feng nodded and said, "My primary target is Xie Yue, and my secondary target is Hu Liena. Yan will be left outside no matter what. His Martial Soul Flame Lord and Martial Soul Fusion Skill Evil Blade Lord are both excellent in terms of fire resistance. So no matter which tactic is successfully implemented, Hongjun, your performance will be somewhat limited."

Ma Hongjun scratched his head. "Then I can deal with other people."

"The others have a relatively smaller impact on the outcome; the three Spirit King of the Spirit Hall Elite Team are the key. We need to deal with them using the most effective methods," Chen Feng explained.

"Well, alright then. I've had my fill of the first two stages of the competition, it's time to let the other brothers and sisters take the field." Ma Hongjun obeyed the order.

"As for the last Substitute..." Chen Feng's gaze swept over everyone before landing on Zhu Zhuqing.

"Zhu Zhuqing, you should take a rest."

"Okay." Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

Needless to say, the Evil Blade Lord is another story. Even the Flame Lord of Yan has the characteristics of high attack, high defense, and extreme heat, which somewhat limits her performance.

Hu Liena is a fragile character, but she has a wide-range precision control ability. She can use her eyes or voice as a medium. If Zhu Zhuqing is accidentally controlled during her assassination attempt, she could easily be killed instantly.

Therefore, in this final Finals, the Warrior will have more room to perform because they have a good physique.

Even if they are controlled, there won't be any casualties in a short time. In addition, there's Oscar's Recovery Tofu and Sanwu's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Jade Rabbit Pounding Medicine, making the whole team very forgiving.

"Bro Feng is being very cautious this time. Has he noticed something?" Oscar sensed something was off about Chen Feng's arrangements and asked the question that had been bothering him.

In the past, when Chen Feng arranged tactics, he would leave some room for maneuver to guard against possible accidents. However, at that time, he mostly used one or two trump cards as backup plans, and his lineup was actually somewhat arbitrary.

This can be seen from the fact that Bai Chenxiang, a Soul Elder, was able to fight his way to the Finals.

But this time, Chen Feng actually considered the lineup's margin for error, giving people the feeling that he was facing a formidable enemy.

This puzzled Oscar and the others, because in their view, while the Spirit Hall Elite Team was indeed stronger than the previous teams, they weren't strong enough to warrant revealing all their trump cards.

As long as Chen Feng can use the Cycle of Rebirth to dismantle the Evil Blade Lord, the remaining two Spirit King are not invincible.

In response, Chen Feng cautioned, "Generally speaking, the trump cards won't be weaker than the cards revealed, and the Spirit Hall Elite Team, just from the cards they've exposed, possesses Spirit King- level cultivation level, a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and the Evil Blade Lord."

"But what card could be more powerful than Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" Oscar asked, puzzled.

"Isn't that simple?" Ma Hongjun blurted out without even thinking. "The Evil Blade Lord is a dual-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill. If something is stronger than two people, then it must be a three-person skill, right?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng couldn't help but glance at him.

Previously, Xiao Wu said that Ma Hongjun was a jinx, and Chen Feng thought it was just superstition, but now he has doubts about whether Ma Hongjun really has something.

Sensing Chen Feng's strange gaze, Ma Hongjun paused for a moment, "Bro Feng, I was just talking nonsense."

Chen Feng coughed lightly, waved his hand, and said, "It's alright. We'll know what their trump cards are during tomorrow's match. What we need to do now is maximize our margin for error. Anyway, it's already the final Finals, so there's no need to hide any methods that are easy to use."

As a new day begins, the final round of the grand Finals finally arrives.

Following the Referee's instructions, the fourteen members of the Nine-Headed Serpent Team and the Spirit Hall Elite Team entered the arena.

On the VIP platform, Bibi Dong's gaze swept over Chen Feng and the others before landing on the Grandmaster in the rest area, her eyebrows slightly raised.

Ever since the Grandmaster and Flender confronted Liu Erlong, Liu Erlong knew that she had no chance of being with the Grandmaster anymore, so she quickly adjusted her mindset and transformed her feelings for the Grandmaster into brotherly and sisterly affection.

During this period, due to the already close relationship between the Iron Triangle, and with the subtle encouragement from the Grandmaster, Liu Erlong and Flender became much closer than before.

Therefore, Liu Erlong often stood by Flender's side, while the Grandmaster stood on Flender's other side.

This positioning didn't attract much attention, and even Chen Feng, the instigator, didn't think much about what it meant.

However, Bibi Dong had always paid close attention to the Grandmaster, and she was also very familiar with the situation of the Iron Triangle. So when she saw the current positions of the three, she immediately saw something implied in them.

Could it be...? A glimmer of hope inexplicably arose in Bibi Dong's heart, and her mood unconsciously improved considerably.

Standing to the side and behind, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan glanced at the Pope with some confusion. Although there was no change compared to before, Yue Guan vaguely felt that the Pope was happy now, even though he could only see half of his profile from his position.

What happened? Yue Guan was completely bewildered.

Could it be that the Pope thinks Nana and her team have already won? Old Ghost went out to gather intelligence before and came back to report that the Nine-Headed Serpent Team no longer has any means to deal with the Martial Soul Fusion Skill. The one with the Serpent Cane didn't even play today. It seems like Nana and her team really do have a very good chance of winning.

If Xiao Nana and her friends win, then the Three pieces of Soul Bone that the Pope originally intended to bestow upon the Golden Generation but was blocked by the Elder Hall will still end up in Xiao Nana and her friends' hands. This would greatly enhance the Pope's prestige, and Xiao Nana, as his disciple, would also benefit.

Thinking of this, Yue Guan smiled, and her mood improved considerably.

He is Hu Liena's protector and belongs to the Pope's faction. If the Pope becomes powerful, his status will rise accordingly.

On the other side, Gui Mei noticed the change in his good friend's expression and cast an inquiring glance at him.

What's making you so happy?

Yue Guan gestured towards the arena, then mouthed, "We've got this in the bag."

Gui Mei understood his good friend's meaning, and after a moment's thought, he also smiled.

The two of them quickly attracted the attention of others. Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin exchanged a glance, both looking worried.

In their view, Yue Guan and Gui Mei's performance showed that they were very confident in the Spirit Hall's victory, which meant that the Spirit Hall Elite Team must have some powerful trump cards.

How could this not worry Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin?

The outcome of the match is a minor matter; the real issue is if Chen Feng and Ning Rongrong run into trouble.

On the field, Chen Feng had no idea that in some people's eyes he was "doomed to lose," nor was he aware of the blunder that had occurred on the VIP platform, where he was verbally arguing with the people from the Spirit Hall.

The incident began when Yan started Taunt team as soon as he entered the arena. "The weak love to resort to petty tricks. What good are bribing two useless teams? It only makes their ranking look a little better, but in the end they will still be defeated by our Spirit Hall Elite Team!"

Clearly, Yan, as an opponent of the Nine-Headed Serpent Team, was very unhappy about being guaranteed Finals, and he even started cursing Blazing Fire Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy as well.

Dai Mubai was naturally unhappy that his elder brother was being scolded, and retorted, "That's right, how can our little tricks compare to your elaborate schemes like drawing lots and off-site assassinations?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? What do you mean by arranging draws and off-field assassinations?" Hu Liena asked, frowning.

Dai Mubai pursed his lips and didn't respond; he didn't like arguing with girls.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "You can go to the Spirit Sacred Hall in Heaven Dou City after the competition and ask the temple master, Salas. Maybe then you'll know what we're talking about."

He knew that Hu Liena was genuinely unaware of these matters, so he offered a "kind" explanation while simultaneously planting a seed of discord.

This thorn may not be needed, but when it comes to stirring up trouble, you have to start with the small things.
