Hu Liena's Charm

The next day, the Heaven Dou Royal Team, Spirit Hall Team, and Skywater Team took the stage together.

Bibi Dong looked at the three teams. Though there were three teams, the only ones she truly thought highly of were the Spirit Hall Team and the Heaven Dou Royal Team. If the Heaven Dou Royal Team did not have Zhao Zilong, Bibi Dong would have had no interest in them at all.

It was just that her disciple had remained extremely mysterious so far. Even Spirit Hall had found it difficult to investigate his background.

"Congratulations. In this once-every-five-years Spirit Master Competition, you three teams are the ones who have truly made it this far. You are the finest Spirit Masters of this generation. Next, the Spirit Hall Team, Heaven Dou Royal Team, and Skywater Team will determine the ultimate champion." With a wave of her hand, three spirit bones appeared in midair. Bibi Dong announced, "The victors will gain ownership of these three spirit bones."

At this moment, Ghost Douluo beside her added, "These three spirit bones all came from spirit beasts over thirty thousand years old. They are the Spirit Condensing Wisdom Skull, Explosive Burning Flame Right Arm, and Gale Forwarding Wind Chasing Left Leg. Among them, the Wisdom Skull is more than fifty thousand years old."

Zhao Zilong looked at the Spirit Condensing Wisdom Skull. This skull was probably around sixty thousand years old, an absolute treasure.

Bibi Dong announced again, "This morning's matches will be individual battles. Each of the three teams will send out seven members to fight in rotation. The team that remains on the field at the end may skip the afternoon match and compete for the final championship."

Then, a bishop stepped forward and announced, "I declare that the individual matches of the final championship round of the Spirit Master Elite Competition now begin. Please have the three teams send out their contestants for the first round of individual battles."

Zhao Zilong and the others exchanged glances. Zhao Zilong asked, "Who's going first?"

Shi Mo patted his chest. "I'll take the lead!"

The others nodded one after another. Soon, the Spirit Hall Team, Heaven Dou Royal Team, and Skywater Team all sent out contestants.

The first match was Shi Mo against a member of the Spirit Hall Team.

"Wait, I concede." Before the match even began, the Spirit Hall member directly chose to surrender.

The people present were shocked that someone from Spirit Hall had actually surrendered. Spirit Hall was famously arrogant. When they had faced the Star Luo Royal Second Team before, they had utterly crushed their opponents in seconds. Yet they had chosen to concede.

The Spirit Hall bishop was not surprised and announced, "Very well, the Spirit Hall Team concedes. Please have a member of the Skywater Team take the field."

Soon, Xue Wu of the Skywater Team stepped onto the stage and fought Shi Mo. Shi Mo was a defense-type Spirit Master, while Xue Wu's martial spirit leaned toward support and control. In the end, Shi Mo won the match.

Another member of the Spirit Hall Team came up, possessing as much as rank 44 Soul Power. He easily defeated Shi Mo, then directly chose to forfeit when facing the Skywater Team.

With that, both the Heaven Dou Royal Team and Skywater Team understood Spirit Hall's plan. They were likely saving the three members of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation for the end.

However, even though everyone knew Spirit Hall's plan, they could only continue the competition.

Just like that, both sides' forfeits steadily reduced. After understanding Spirit Hall's tactics, everyone tried to save their strongest combatants for the end.

Sure enough, once only the three members of the Golden Generation remained for Spirit Hall, Spirit Hall changed its previous approach. The first member of the Golden Generation to appear was Hu Liena. She gave Meng Yiran across from her a seductive look and teased, "You're little brother Zilong's girlfriend, aren't you? You really are quite pretty. But could you just concede directly?"

"Hmph, do you think that's possible?" Meng Yiran viciously planted her Serpent Cane into the ground. She knew that Hu Liena was rank 51, far stronger than herself. Moreover, she had just fought a member of the Skywater Team and had already consumed quite a bit of Soul Power. Meng Yiran did not think she could win. She only wanted to probe more of Hu Liena's strength.

"Then I'll have to ask you to leave the stage." Hu Liena spoke seductively.

The Spirit Hall bishop announced the start of the match. Meng Yiran had just been about to attack when Hu Liena's martial spirit, the Demon Fox, appeared. An extra fox tail emerged behind her, greatly increasing Hu Liena's allure. The instant Meng Yiran met Hu Liena's eyes, her pupils turned pink.

Hu Liena controlled Meng Yiran, her husky voice as gentle as water. "All right, since you're little brother Zilong's girlfriend, I won't hit you. Jump off the stage yourself!"

At that moment, Meng Yiran seemed completely unaware of what she was doing and directly jumped off the stage. The instant she landed below it, the charm was lifted.

"What happened? How did I..." Meng Yiran looked at herself beneath the stage, then stared blankly at Hu Liena above.

"Spirit Hall Team wins. Next match, Skywater Team." The Spirit Hall bishop continued his announcement.

At this moment, both the Heaven Dou Royal Team and Skywater Team regarded Hu Liena's charm as a formidable threat. Meng Yiran's Soul Power was not weak, having reached rank 43, yet under Hu Liena's charm, she had not possessed even the slightest ability to resist.

"I'm sorry, I..." Meng Yiran said shamefully.

Zhao Zilong remained calm. "There's no need to dwell on it. Let's watch the next match."

Yu Tianxin also said seriously, "Lei Dong, don't look into her eyes later. That woman's ability is too strange. Once you meet her gaze, you may be charmed."

"Mm, I'll be careful." Lei Dong nodded.

Seeing Hu Liena defeat her opponent so effortlessly with her charm, both the Heaven Dou Royal Team and Skywater Team understood that the Spirit Hall Team was only now beginning to exert its true strength. The Skywater Team immediately sent out rank 43 Lei Dong.

But against the rank 51 Yan, there was still a fundamental gap in strength between them. Lei Dong did not dare meet Hu Liena's eyes at all. Hu Liena spoke seductively, "What, do you think you'll be fine as long as you don't look into my eyes? Be good and concede!"

As she spoke, Hu Liena swayed her sexy waist and walked toward Lei Dong. Though Lei Dong did not meet Hu Liena's gaze, the moment he saw her enchanting figure and heard her voice, the entire stage turned pink before his eyes.

Is this... charm? How could this be... Lei Dong looked at the stage, the sky, and everything around him. All of it had turned pink. Hu Liena, who had been standing right in front of him, had also vanished. He cried out in shock, "Is this an illusion?"

At this moment, everyone on the stage saw Lei Dong looking wildly around himself, as though he were facing countless enemies.

Seeing Lei Dong's reaction, Xie Yue curled his lips into a cold smile. "Nana's charm is extremely powerful. Not to mention a mere Soul Ancestor, even a Soul King cannot resist Nana's charm unless they are from the spiritual type. Against assault-type Spirit Masters, Nana's Demon Fox holds absolute restraint."

Sure enough, Lei Dong, controlled by Hu Liena's illusion, could not see Hu Liena approaching him bit by bit. He was directly kicked off the stage by Hu Liena.

Seeing Lei Dong defeated without any ability to resist, the Skywater Team members all looked grim.

There were not many spiritual control-type Spirit Masters to begin with. Although a Spirit Master with spiritual charm like Hu Liena was far inferior to assault-type Spirit Masters in physical prowess, she could be said to completely counter assault-type Spirit Masters. If this were not a competition, Hu Liena could kill her opponents without any effort.

Dugu Yan took the field for the next match. The moment the match began, before Dugu Yan could even release her poison mist, she was already controlled by Hu Liena. Hu Liena then easily defeated Dugu Yan as well.

Yu Tianxin, Yu Tianheng, and Shui Bing'er were the same afterward. Faced with Hu Liena's spiritual attacks, they had no ability to resist whatsoever. Hu Liena's charm did not require eye contact. As long as they heard Hu Liena's voice, they would be affected by her charm.

The Spirit Hall bishop announced, "Six opponents in a row! As expected of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, as expected of Your Excellency the Pope's personal disciple. The Skywater Team has now been completely defeated, while the Heaven Dou Royal Team has only one person remaining. Please have the Heaven Dou Royal Team's final member take the field."
