Unsurprisingly, Shrek Academy qualified for the top six, and they will face the Spirit Hall Team and the Heaven Dou Royal Team next.

The showdown between the three seeded teams naturally attracted the attention of countless people. Apart from the match between Shrek and Star Luo Royal Team, it was another eye-catching competition.

On the stage, the Spirit Hall Team and the Heaven Dou Royal Team stood facing each other, the atmosphere heavy.

The Spirit Hall Team's uniform is pure white, entirely white, and embroidered with six patterns symbolizing the Spirit Hall.

The three people at the front each wore a purple, book-shaped badge on their left chest. It was a symbol of their honor, the Purple Record Medal personally awarded to them by the Pope for breaking through to level 50 as Soul King in their early twenties.

It is an immense honor within the Spirit Hall.

The one walking at the front was a man, about 1.9 meters tall, with neat black short hair standing up like steel needles, a calm expression, and an air of confidence.

His slender hands hung at his sides, his gaze indifferent as he stared at Yu Tianheng opposite him.

On either side of the short-haired man were a man and a woman. The man had long, fiery red hair that cascaded down his back, and his dark red eyes were languid. He had an ordinary appearance, and like the short-haired youth before him, he exuded an aura of self-confidence.

The only woman among the three had long black hair and looked somewhat like the man in front. All three of them had expressions that seemed to be cut from the same mold. At first glance, the girl didn't seem particularly beautiful, but upon closer inspection, one could sense a strange charm emanating from her.

The woman's name is Hu Liena, a level 51 Control System Battle Soul King with a fox Martial Soul. Her Soul Skill are mostly related to Charm.

The black-haired youth was named Xie Yue, a level 52 Assault System Battle Soul King, Martial Soul Moon Blade.

The red-haired youth was named Yan, a level 52 Fire-attribute Assault System Battle Soul King, Martial Soul Flame Lord.

Xie Yue and Hu Liena are siblings born of the same parents, inheriting their respective surnames and Martial Soul. If I'm not mistaken, there must be a Martial Soul Fusion Skill between them. How powerful would Martial Soul Fusion Skill performed by a level 50 Soul Master be? You probably don't even need to think about it!

As the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, their Soul Ring configuration was naturally the best, with each of them having two yellow, two purple, and one black Soul Ring. Apart from these three, none of the Soul Master in this team had a Soul Power lower than level 45.

They are arguably the strongest team in the entire tournament.

On the viewing platform, at the Shrek Academy, Flender, Master, and Liu Erlong were all present, along with another person, Poison Douluo — Dugu Bo.

He had long, slightly graying black hair that was loose, and he wore a dark green robe. His body emitted a sweet, but extremely poisonous, scent.

Because of Tang San, he became an advisor to the Shrek Academy, which in turn gave Shrek Academy a certain level of strength.

At this moment, he stood with several teachers and Little Monster from the Shrek Academy, watching the match between the Spirit Hall Team and the Heaven Dou Royal Team.

In the arena, the match had already begun, and it was indeed the Spirit Hall Team that launched the first attack. Hu Liena stepped forward, and after her Martial Soul Possession, a fluffy tail grew behind her, and a pair of fluffy ears appeared on her head.

Her eyes gleamed with a faint red light, radiating boundless Charm.

Even though Yu Tianheng had warned him not to look into her eyes, he was still seduced by her soft and alluring voice.

The five Soul Rings on Hu Liena's body began to pulsate rhythmically, from the fifth to the First Soul Ring. The pale red light on her body grew stronger and stronger, as if it would engulf the entire arena.

Behind him, Xie Yue charged straight at him with his Moon Blade, but instead crashed into his sister Hu Liena. There was nothing unsightly, but when Xie Yue collided with Hu Liena, the pale red light on her body instantly became dazzling.

It engulfed the two figures, and when it reappeared, it had transformed into a single figure.

A person with long, flowing hair who appeared to be neither male nor female, whose hair was crimson but not as pale as Jingwei's. Jingwei's red hair was the color of flames, while their combined Martial Soul Fusion Skill exuded a bewitching charm.

The figure moved silently, and two Moon Blades, now twice their original size, slashed out with a flowing rainbow-like brilliance.

Martial Soul Fusion Skill - Bewitching Charm

Within this range, everyone's senses are reduced by 50%, their Soul Power is suppressed by 50%, and their movements are slowed by 50%.

The intense red light obstructed the movements and vision of Yu Tianheng and the others. Suddenly, the red light intensified, and a massive energy fluctuation erupted, forming a dazzling barrier that covered half of the arena, blocking the audience's view.

Fu Hua's eyes narrowed, and a flash of pale yellow light appeared, revealing the scene within.

Muffled groans continued as one figure after another was thrown out, bright red blood spurting out with each thrown body. Dugu Bo, standing beside Tang San, looked grim.

You should know that his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, was among them!

Before long, members of the Heaven Dou Royal Team were thrown out one after another. Thunder rumbled within the alluring barrier, and dark green poisonous gas corroded the air, making a sizzling sound.

Accompanied by shrill whistles, eerie voices, neither clearly male nor female, echoed from behind the red curtain.

"Poison, in our domain, is also greatly reduced. Dugu Yan, your poison is not enough to affect me!"

Dugu Yan's body was thrown into the air, and another thunderous roar resounded within the barrier. Dugu Yan, who was thrown out, had no injuries on her body, but she spat out blood and flew directly off the arena.

With a final roar, the red light curtain faded, and the Martial Soul Fusion Skill dissipated.

Xie Yue and Hu Liena appeared

Yu Tianheng stood opposite them, his arms, which had transformed into dragon shapes, trembling incessantly.

"For the sake of your family, I'll spare your life," Xie Yue said in a calm but piercing voice.

With a light flick of his wrist, the Moon Blade danced around Yu Tianheng's body, instantly scattering his scales and spraying blood everywhere.

Slowly raising the Moon Blade in his hand, Xie Yue's gaze drifted directly towards the Shrek Academy Team, seemingly provoking them in some way.

Fu Hua ignored him, only lowering her eyes as she pondered something.

Xie Yue was slightly disappointed. She knew that the only one who could truly attract their attention was Fu Hua, who was also a level 50 Soul King. Unfortunately, she ignored them.

Knowing he was being frivolous, Xie Yue sheathed his Moon Blade, turned back to his companions, and waited for the referee to announce the result.

The result was obvious and didn't need the referee's announcement. Everyone understood that the Spirit Hall team was as domineering as the Spirit Hall itself, and their strength was so formidable that it left everyone in awe.

At this moment, apart from Shrek, no other team is dreaming of winning the championship. Even Shrek Team, which has a level 50 Soul King, is not favored by other academies.

It is important to understand that while Soul King are indeed powerful, when Martial Soul Fusion Skill composed of two Soul King appears, that power can only turn into weakness, unless a miracle occurs.

After the third round of competition, the top six teams emerged. Two of the three seeded teams were eliminated in today's competition, while the remaining Spirit Hall Team's strength left all the academies in awe.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the champion of this Elite Tournament will be the Spirit Hall team.

The Shrek Team and the Divine Wind Team, who followed closely behind, could only settle for second and third place, respectively.

Tomorrow's draw will determine many things, and no one wants to face the Spirit Hall's team first, as it seems like an insurmountable wall.

Back at their lodgings, the Master gathered everyone in the living room to discuss the next tactics.

"The Spirit Hall Team's strength is undeniable, but we are not without the possibility of a counterattack." Master's gaze fell on Fu Hua, their Shrek Team's last trump card.

"Although you didn't participate Fu Hua the previous matches, those opponents are probably no match for you now. After seeing the strength of the Spirit Hall Team, what are your thoughts?"

Fu Hua paused for a moment, then her brows and eyes relaxed.

"No problem at all"

This is the answer that Master and the Shrek Seven Devils wanted to get, Fu Hua's words will definitely live up to their expectations.

Only then did the other Shrek Seven Monsters Shrek Seven Devils breathe a sigh of relief. Ma Hongjun, in particular, slumped onto the sofa without any regard for his image, his chubby face displaying an indifferent expression.

"Looks like the Spirit Hall Team isn't all that great! Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill is so weak, they could be easily crushed with a single slap."

"You think you're so great, Fatty? Maybe I'll give you a chance to go up there and slap them all to death," Oscar said with an exaggerated expression on his eerie face.

"Hehe! How could I possibly do something like this? If anyone should do it, it should be our Fu Hua, right?"

"Go away, go away! When did Fu Hua become yours?" Ning Rongrong said with a look of disgust, then turned to look at Fu Hua again.

"But where have you been all these years? We've tried everything, but we still can't find you."

"I just accidentally wandered into a mountain stream, which happened to be a place where I could hide, so I just started cultivating there," Fu Hua said.

"Speaking of cultivation, Fu Hua, your Soul Power growth is just too exaggerated! We only achieved this because we consumed the Immortal Herb that Xiao San brought back, and you... you've increased two levels in a year!" Oscar said.

"Immortal Herb?"

Speaking of Immortal Herb, there are many in the Taixu Realm, many of which are full of spiritual energy and can strengthen the body's foundation, nourish the vital energy, and prolong life.

"Yes! All six of us took it, except for Xiao Wu. But her Immortal Herb is really powerful; not only is it immune to all plant attacks, but it's also incredibly tough," Ma Hongjun said.

Fu Hua turned her gaze to Xiao Wu, where she saw a vibrant, fiery red flower in her hand, its heart as pure as a baby's. The moment it was taken out, it radiated dazzling brilliance.

Its name is Lovesick Heartbreak Red

It is said that only those who have true love in their hearts can gain its recognition. Once it recognizes its master, it will not wither unless the master dies. Its flower body is as hard as a rock, impervious to swords, water, and fire.

"I had prepared one for you as well, but I suppose you don't need it now!" Tang San said with a smile.

Fu Hua nodded. Now, her body no longer needs the tempering of these external things; only the long-term accumulation of power can slowly evolve her.

"Let's put that aside for now. We need to be careful about the upcoming matches," the Master said, observing the group's conversation. When he felt the time was right, he spoke again.

After a year apart, they need to catch up, but now is not the time for leisure. They still need to carefully consider the tactics for tomorrow's game.

Now that Fu Hua is back, some tactics need to be changed.

"Master, I suppose I don't need to take action unless I'm facing the Spirit Hall!"

The Master nodded. If Fu Hua were to attack other teams as well, it would prevent the other Shrek Seven Monsters from getting proper training, and it would also expose her strength prematurely. At that time, even the arrogant Spirit Hall might take some corresponding countermeasures.

"If that's the case, then I think we can do this when facing the Spirit Hall..."

The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament has come to an end. The top six academies are undoubtedly the best among young Soul Master, especially the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, which has shown people the true potential that Soul Master can achieve.

Of course, this is under the premise that no one knows the real age of the entire Shrek Team.

The competition among the top six was not as intense as that among the top ten. The three most powerful academies on the surface did not draw each other this time, seemingly wanting to save this fierce showdown for the end.

As expected, the top three teams are Spirit Hall, Shrek, and Divine Wind. The final fifth round is about to begin.

This round of spectators included one more person, a person of noble status, someone whom countless Soul Master looked up to.

P. S.: Oh dear! Feeling carefree and just want to show off!

PS1: Look, I was so engrossed in writing that I completely lost my mind and couldn't even distinguish the order of Soul King and Soul Emperor.
