A Mistake Was Made

Analysis of the Major Participating Teams and Their Members' Strength

The following are the major powerhouse teams that entered the later elimination rounds:

1. Tang Sect

This was the protagonist team of this tournament and the eventual champion.

· Captain: Huo Yuhao (Control System Battle Soul King)

· Strength: His apparent rank was around 60, but his actual combat power far surpassed his rank. He possessed top-tier abilities such as Extreme Ice, the Undead Demigod Plane, and the Eye of Fate.

· Core advantage: As the brain of the team, his Mental Probe Sharing provided unparalleled control over the battlefield. At the same time, he was already a Rank 7 Soul Engineer, capable of crafting and using high-level Soul Tools.

· Vice-Captain: He Caitou (Soul Tool System Battle Soul King)

· Strength: A Rank 6 Soul Engineer, close to Rank 7. Martial Soul: Cigar, a food-type Martial Soul that provided all-around enhancements.

· Core advantage: The team's heavy artillery specialist, with extremely powerful fire coverage and abundant Soul Power.

· Member: Beibei (Assault System Battle Soul King)

· Strength: A top-tier assault-type battle Soul Master with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, which had evolved into the Light Holy Dragon. He possessed the self-created Soul Skill, Dragon Emperor's Evil Breaking Slash.

· Core advantage: Extremely strong in close combat, with both offense and defense. He was the core of the team's front line.

· Member: Xu Sanshi (Defense System Battle Soul King)

· Strength: A top-tier defense-type battle Soul Master with the Black Tortoise Martial Soul, which had evolved into the Golden Black Tortoise. He possessed a Divine Beast Bloodline and the Black Tortoise Descent domain.

· Core advantage: Absolute defense, capable of protecting all his teammates. His Mysterious Underworld Exchange was a godly skill that could turn the tide of battle.

· Member: Jiang Nannan (Agility Assault System Battle Soul King)

· Strength: Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul, with exceptionally outstanding close-quarters combat skills.

· Core advantage: Extremely fast, skilled at single-target eliminations and harassment. Her Invincible Golden Body skill provided brief absolute defense.

· Member: Xiao Xiao (Control System/Support System Battle Soul King)

· Strength: Twin Martial Souls: Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron for defense and control, and Nine Phoenixes Auspicious Flute for slowing and disruption.

· Core advantage: Versatile tactics. She could switch roles according to battlefield needs, providing control and domain support.

· Member: Wang Donger (Assault System Battle Soul King)

· Strength: Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul, which later evolved into the Light Dragon God Butterfly. She and Huo Yuhao possessed four Martial Soul Fusion Skills, among which "Withering Amid Brilliance—Golden Road" was their trump card.

· Core advantage: Strong aerial mobility, dazzling attacks with immense power, and flawless coordination with Huo Yuhao.

Team summary: Tang Sect was a team that perfectly combined Soul Masters and Soul Engineers. Every member stood at the peak among their peers, with tacit coordination and a rich tactical system—Extreme Ice control, Golden Road instant kills, heavy fire coverage, and absolute defense. They had virtually no weaknesses and fully deserved the championship.

2. Shrek Academy Representative Team

A main team composed of top disciples from the Inner Court. Their strength was exceptionally formidable, and they were Tang Sect's opponents in the finals.

· Captain: Zhang Lexuan (Assault System Battle Soul Douluo)

· Strength: An Eight-Ring Soul Douluo and the eldest senior sister of the Inner Court. Martial Soul: Moon.

· Core advantage: The highest-ranked participant in the entire tournament, with strength that overwhelmed the vast majority of contestants. She was Shrek Academy's stabilizing pillar.

· Member: Han Ruoruo (Control System Battle Soul Sage)

· Strength: A Seven-Ring Soul Sage. Martial Soul: Shaking Gold Rope.

· Core advantage: Extremely powerful control abilities. Her Shaking Gold Rope could restrain multiple opponents at once, and even Huo Yuhao's Spirit Detection found it difficult to fully predict.

· Member: Wang Qiuer (Assault System Battle Soul Emperor)

· Strength: A Six-Ring Soul Emperor, but with the Golden Dragon Martial Soul of Extreme Power. Her actual combat power rivaled that of a Soul Sage.

· Core advantage: A Humanoid Ferocious Beast with invincible strength and the best close-combat ability in the arena. Alone, she could tear apart an opponent's entire formation.

· Other members: Wu Ming, with the Golden Crow Martial Soul, Chu Qingtian, with the Electric Mad Leopard Martial Soul, and others were all formidable Soul Emperor-level experts.

Team summary: Shrek Academy was a traditional powerhouse made up purely of Soul Masters. Its members had extremely high individual cultivation and relied on powerful Martial Souls and Soul Skills to win. However, they were relatively weak in their use of Soul Tools, which was one of the important reasons they ultimately lost to Tang Sect.

3. Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy Representative Team

The previous tournament's runner-up and this tournament's host. They were the arch-rivals of Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.

· Captain: Xiao Hongchen (Soul Tool System Battle Soul Emperor)

· Strength: A Six-Ring Soul Emperor, but already a Rank 7 Soul Engineer. Martial Soul: Three-legged Golden Toad, capable of controlling metal and creating clones.

· Core advantage: A genius Soul Engineer capable of controlling a vast number of Soul Tools simultaneously for saturation attacks, with exceptionally powerful area damage.

· Vice-Captain: Meng Hongchen (Soul Tool System Battle Soul King)

· Strength: A Five-Ring Soul King and a Rank 6 Soul Engineer. Martial Soul: Vermilion Clear Ice Toad, with deadly poison.

· Core advantage: She combined Soul Tool attacks with strange and deadly poison, making her difficult to defend against.

· Other members: Mi Jia, Lin Xi, and the others were all outstanding Rank 5 and Rank 6 Soul Engineers.

Team summary: The Sun Moon Empire was the representative of teams composed purely of Soul Engineers, relying heavily on the power of Soul Tools. Their tactical system was advanced, and their firepower was ferocious. However, once an opponent broke through their firepower net, or used Extreme Ice to counter Meng Hongchen's poison as Huo Yuhao did, their close-combat and sustained combat capabilities became relatively inadequate. In this tournament, they were eliminated early by the Shrek team led by Wang Qiuer and never had the chance to face Tang Sect.
