Finals

Mu Xuanheng's world-shaking battle, his exotic soul rings, and his Ultimate Ice were all matters of great concern.

With the cultivation of a Soul Ancestor, his combat power rivaled that of a top-tier Soul Emperor.

No one dared to underestimate Mu Xuanheng, and his future was also worthy of close attention.

Their opponents were soon revealed, and as expected, it was the Sun Moon Soul Engineer Academy.

The final match would still be between these two heavy favorites.

Wang Yan racked his brains to study the match tactics.

Compared to the Star Luo Empire, the Sun Moon Empire was undoubtedly wealthier. Their endless stream of soul tools was definitely something they needed to guard against.

"Captain, are you confident? Why not leave those two Soul Ancestors to me and Meng Hongchen?" Xiao Hongchen was incredibly confident. Even if they were both Soul Ancestors, so what if they had a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and an exotic soul ring? He wasn't afraid.

"Xiao Hongchen!" Ma Rulong scolded sharply, "Do you really think you can handle those two? Three Soul Kings using the Nine Transformation Soul Changing Instrument couldn't take him down; do you think you're more powerful than three Soul Kings?"

In their calculations, Mu Xuanheng and Gu Yuena remained the most troublesome problems.

Ma Rulong said, "I will deal with Mu Xuanheng. You find a way to handle Gu Yuena. The rest will be nothing to fear. Afterward, we will forfeit the individual matches and choose the two-two-three format. That is the only way we have a chance at victory."

The prerequisite for setting this battle plan was achieving victory in the team battle.

Elder Ma said, "If necessary, use the combination-type soul tool we brought. This time, we must achieve victory."

The day of the finals arrived quickly.

A vast sea of spectators watched their match.

There were simply too many special circumstances in this tournament.

No one could guess the final outcome.

But since they were in the Star Luo Empire, more people were still willing to support Shrek to win.

Wang Yan looked at Mu Xuanheng and Gu Yuena, "Can you hold out? The other side will definitely have a massive amount of soul tools."

He had once wanted to give up on the team battle, but the two-two-three format wasn't a guaranteed win either.

In the end, they followed the standard procedure.

Mu Xuanheng said, "Teacher, you still have to trust us. Who knows, we might even give you a surprise."

Gu Yuena said, "We haven't even displayed our strongest combat power yet."

They possessed absolute confidence.

A red carpet was laid into the rest area, and the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire stood on the city wall with his civil and military officials to announce the official start of the match.

Heavenly Fiend Douluo remained the referee, and both teams entered the arena.

Ma Rulong, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Xiao Xiafeng, Lin Xi, Mi Jia, Chen Fei.

Gongyang Mo, Mu Xuanheng, Gu Yuena, Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, He Caitou.

Both sides slowly retreated, leaving a buffer zone.

The five members of Ma Rulong's team stood in a formation, while Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen seemed to stand apart from the rest.

This formation was different from any they had seen before.

This made everyone feel a bit strange.

Huang Jinxu stood in the middle and raised his right hand, "Three, two, one, match start!" With a wave of his hand, he vanished from his spot.

As the voice fell, both sides activated their martial souls.

The soul ring configurations of Mu Xuanheng and Gu Yuena were still stunning to behold.

As their Sun Moon martial souls were activated, a massive number of soul tools were already launched.

Lin Xi stood at the very front, and a barrage of soul tools erupted.

Each orb of light was a soul tool, totaling over a hundred, and every single one was aimed at the seven of them.

This was the most common method used by the Sun Moon Soul Engineer Academy: using overwhelming firepower to suppress the opponent, making it impossible for them to counterattack.

An ice wall formed rapidly, hard and thick, blocking the majority of the attacks.

The soul tools flew toward their flanks, aiming for heavy firepower suppression.

Several ice crystals condensed, surrounded by flames and propelled by gale-force winds. Mu Xuanheng and Gu Yuena coordinated with each other to strike down almost all of the soul tools.

But this was not the core method of the Sun Moon team.

"Meng!"

Meng Hongchen said, "Third soul skill, Ice Refraction!"

She merged into the ice and snow, using light refraction to move to another position, nearly teleporting.

"First soul skill, Ice Toad Poison."

Mu Xuanheng didn't have time to worry about that and shouted, "Huo Yuhao, use your Ultimate!"

The shout was a reminder, while he faced the brunt of the remaining soul tool attacks.

Dozens of blue-purple rays appeared behind Mi Jia, aimed directly at Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena summoned the water currents, forming a vortex before her. She absorbed the streaks of blue-purple light, causing the power of the Soul Tools to vanish without a trace.

Xiao Hongchen's first, third, and second soul rings lit up. Small bumps bulged across his skin before metal spheres flew out, transforming into gun barrels. The pitch-black muzzles pointed directly at Gongyang Mo and the other four.

With a full 108 barrels, the sheer firepower was something even a Soul King might not be able to withstand, let alone the few of them.

He Caitou brought out a defensive Soul Tool to resist Xiao Hongchen's assault.

They still had to face Meng Hongchen's attacks as well.

Compared to Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen was more like a true Soul Master.

Having just seen her attack blocked by the ice wall created by Huo Yuhao, she knew her cold poison could not break through the ultimate ice.

"Second Soul Skill, Ice Poison Ring; Fourth Soul Skill, Ice Feedback."

The combination of these two soul skills significantly boosted her attack power.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Ice Fire Poison Dragon Rotation."

Xiao Hongchen simultaneously unleashed his second and fourth soul skills, the artillery fire from his Soul Tools becoming even more intense than before.

Bei Bei stood in front of the group; he was the strongest combatant among them.

He breathed heavily, recalling the words of Mu En, as the lightning on his body slowly transformed into radiance: "Dragon Emperor Breaking Evil Crack!"

He had only one target, and that was Xiao Hongchen.

Briefly elevating his own Martial Soul to the form of the Bright Holy Dragon, combined with the enhancements from Gongyang Mo, he was confident that this move would take Xiao Hongchen out.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Attachment of Gold." Xiao Hongchen turned into a liquid state, dissolving 80% of Bei Bei's attack, while the level seven Soul Tool on his body absorbed the remaining impact entirely.

Xiao Hongchen said with immense confidence: "We have investigated every one of your methods thoroughly. You will definitely lose today!"

"Is that so?" The radiance on Bei Bei's body did not fade. Behind him, He Caitou abandoned all offense in exchange for defense, creating an opportunity for him.

"I heard from Xuanheng that you can only dissolve physical attacks. My Dragon Emperor Breaking Evil Crack is not merely a physical attack." Reign Over the World was originally a soul skill crafted by combining spiritual power and soul power; as a derivative skill, it could never be just a physical attack.

"Spiritual Shock!"

Huo Yuhao launched his own spiritual attack at the same time, and at this moment, the endless artillery fire ceased.

Gongyang Mo suddenly pulled out an offensive Soul Tool, pointing it at Meng Hongchen.

As fellow Soul Kings, Gongyang Mo was stronger than both of them. The power he unleashed with the Soul Tool was not inferior either.

The sudden attack struck Meng Hongchen, but it did not stir up much of a storm. This was because she also possessed a Wall of Resilience.

It was a level six Soul Tool, and one that could be used continuously at that.

Off the stage, Wang Yan's eyes were already red. He could see his team members working hard, but there was simply nothing he could do.

A hand patted his back, and Yan Shaozhe appeared beside him: "Do not underestimate them."

On the stage, Mu Xuanheng and Gu Yuena manipulated the elements to disrupt the Soul Tool attacks, and paired with long-range claws, they inflicted frostbite on Xiao Xiafeng.

Xiao Xiafeng was still munching on a steamed bun while under the protection of the others.

Ma Rulong: "Are you not going to turn back to protect your teammates? They cannot withstand the attacks of two Soul Kings."

If they were only ordinary Soul Kings, Bei Bei paired with Gongyang Mo would have been enough.

But they were facing the Hongchen siblings, who possessed more Soul Tools on their bodies than a seven-ringed Soul Saint.

Mu Xuanheng: "Worry about yourself. Do you think only you have level seven Soul Tools? Azure Flame Sharp Claw!"

Ice crystals like thorns disrupted the formation, and the Azure Flame Sharp Claw aimed for Lin Xi, whose soul power consumption was the greatest.

With one claw, azure flames surged forth.

That was not fire transformed from soul power, but fire created by the high-speed friction of air currents.

Ma Rulong immediately stood beside Lin Xi and used his Invincible Shield.

With a crack, the Invincible Shield shattered for the first time in the entire Soul Fighting tournament.

A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, because he heard Xiao Hongchen's shout: "Captain Ma, now!"

"Mu Xuanheng, Gu Yuena, take a look at the level seven Soul Tool I have prepared for you."
