Easy Championship (Seeking Reads)

Shrek Academy departed in dejection, carrying bodies full of wounds and the bitterness of a crushing defeat. The arena was quickly cleared, yet the scent of gunpowder lingering in the air grew increasingly pungent. Three days passed in the blink of an eye; the final showdown of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament had finally arrived!

On one side stood the Imperial Fighting Team of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, possessing a deep foundation and the fifteen-year-old Soul Emperor Lin Yi, their momentum surging like a rainbow!

On the other side was the holy land of soul masters, the Martial Soul Hall Academy team, boasting the three Soul Kings of the Golden Generation and regarded as the overwhelming favorites to take the title!

Pope Bibi Dong attended in person to observe the battle, while Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo were prominently seated among the guests, joined by envoys from the Star Luo Empire and titans from every major faction.

The Great Soul Arena in Martial Soul City was packed to capacity, with every pair of eyes fixed upon the stage.

The members of both teams entered the arena.

Led by Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan, the Martial Soul Hall Academy team featured four other members who were all elite Soul Ancestors. Their auras merged into one, carrying the pride and dominance inherent to Martial Soul Hall.

For the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Lin Yi stood at the rear of the formation as usual, while Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and the others held sharp, focused gazes. Having survived the battle against Shrek, their confidence had reached its peak.

"The final match, begin!" the referee announced in a loud voice. The moment the words fell, the battle erupted!

Martial Soul Hall Academy had clearly studied the tactics of Heaven Dou Royal Academy; right from the start, Hu Liena and Xie Yue did not hesitate to unleash their ultimate trump card!

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Demon Charm!"

A pink radiance instantly enveloped more than half the arena. Thick red mist billowed, obscuring vision, while a powerful mental charm and physical restriction swept across the field! This was the very weapon they had used to sweep through the Star Luo Royal Academy!

However, Lin Yi had long since anticipated all of this.

The instant the red mist rose, attempting to swallow the Heaven Dou team, the third soul ring beneath Lin Yi's feet flashed brilliantly!

Third Soul Skill, Extreme Cold Domain!

A biting chill erupted from his center, and a milky-white frost aura spread like a tidal wave, crashing violently against the pink mist! The cold of the Ultimate Ice severely restricted the speed and range of the red mist's expansion, while the domain's subtle healing and ice-resistance effects bolstered the Heaven Dou members' resistance to the charm.

More importantly, Lin Yi's powerful Spirit Detection had long acted like an invisible radar, piercing through the shroud of the red mist and clearly feeding the position, movements, and even the energy flow of the Demon Charm fusion entity into his mind!

"Yu Tianheng, three steps to the left, diagonal slash!" Lin Yi's calm voice rang out beside Yu Tianheng and the others.

Almost the moment his voice fell, the massive moon blades of Demon Charm slashed out from the red mist like ghosts, striking exactly where Lin Yi had predicted!

Prepared in advance, Yu Tianheng dodged, and the moon blades sliced through empty air!

As for Lin Yi himself, he acted as if he possessed foresight. His fourth soul ring flickered, and the Breath of Ice Sealing swirled around his body. When the moon blades circled back in an attempt to strike Dugu Yan, he flashed forward, actively meeting the attack and using his right arm, encased in freezing energy, to precisely parry the side of the blades!

"Clang!" The sound of metal striking metal rang out!

The sharpness of the moon blades was largely neutralized by the extreme cold of the Breath of Ice Sealing, and a bone-chilling frost surged back along the blades to invade the Demon Charm fusion entity, causing its movements to stutter for a split second!

"Now!" Lin Yi shouted.

Simultaneously, his sixth and second soul rings flashed in succession!

The light of the Ice Lotus Blessing once again enveloped his teammates, causing their speed and soul power recovery to skyrocket!

Individual Ice Lotus Protections appeared precisely in front of his teammates, blocking the attacks launched by the other Martial Soul Hall members who had tried to seize the opportunity!

Receiving the orders and the buffs, Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and the others were like tigers released from their cages, instantly locking their targets onto the remaining four members of Martial Soul Hall!

With their speed increased by forty percent and the Ice Lotus Protection nullifying critical damage, the Imperial Fighting Team displayed terrifying explosive power! Yu Tianheng's Thunder Dragon Claw, Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison, the lightning-fast strikes of Osler and Yu Feng, and the powerful advance of the Shi Brothers... their coordination was flawless!

The four elite Soul Ancestors of Martial Soul Hall could not even organize an effective resistance. In less than a minute, they were crushed by the storm-like assault, falling to the ground heavily wounded and losing all combat capability!

The entire arena was in an uproar! No one had expected that Martial Soul Hall Academy, with its Golden Generation, would lose four members in the first minute of the match! Only Xie Yue and Hu Liena, shrouded in the red mist of Demon Charm, remained, along with Yan, who was being held back by the Shi Brothers while trying to provide support from the periphery!

The red mist churned violently; clearly, Xie Yue and Hu Liena inside were deeply shaken by the rapid defeat of their teammates. The Demon Charm fusion entity let out a sharp shriek, attempting to break through by force to eliminate Lin Yi, the greatest threat.

However, Lin Yi's Spirit Detection remained like a maggot on a rotting bone, firmly locked onto it.

No matter how Demon Charm shifted its position or what attacks it launched, it was always predicted by Lin Yi in advance, either delayed by the Extreme Cold Domain, blocked by the Ice Lotus Protection, or avoided with ghost-like footwork.

Unable to land a hit after a prolonged assault, the Demon Charm fusion entity consumed a massive amount of energy, and the red mist began to thin. Hu Liena felt a surge of anxiety; she knew they could not drag this out any longer!

The red mist suddenly retracted, and Demon Charm disintegrated, reverting back into Xie Yue and Hu Liena.

Hu Liena's face was pale, clearly suffering from excessive soul power consumption, but her soul-stealing eyes locked onto Lin Yi, and a brilliant pink light flared in her pupils—it was her innate charm skill! She believed that with her Soul King-level mental strength, she could definitely make Lin Yi lose focus for a moment if he was caught off guard! Just one instant was all Xie Yue needed to finish him!

However, the moment her charming mental energy touched Lin Yi's body, it felt as if it had crashed into an invisible yet indestructible wall of ice! The hidden Ice Phoenix Feather Garment on Lin Yi's body shimmered, not only blocking all the charm energy but also reflecting a colder, more vast mental force back along the same path with a violent rebound!

"Ugh!" Hu Liena suffered a heavy blow and let out a muffled groan. The color drained from her pretty face, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and her body swayed as her mind suffered a trauma!

Just as she was about to collapse, a figure appeared beside her like a ghost, reaching out to wrap an arm around her slender waist—it was Lin Yi!

"Nana!" Seeing this, Xie Yue's eyes split with rage. The moon blades in his hands erupted with a blinding red light, and he slashed toward Lin Yi's back regardless of the consequences! He had abandoned all defense just to save his sister!

"Watch out!" someone in the audience cried out.

Yet Lin Yi seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He did not turn around, nor did he release his hold on Hu Liena's waist; the cold aura of the Breath of Ice Sealing erupted from his body once more!

Xie Yue's charging figure froze instantly, struck by the extreme cold! Under Lin Yi's Spirit Detection, the flaw in this rage-fueled strike was exposed completely!

Holding Hu Liena, Lin Yi shifted his feet in a mysterious pattern, easily dodging the slash of the moon blades. At the same time, his free left hand slapped out casually behind him, and his palm, imbued with the chill of the Breath of Ice Sealing, struck precisely at the exposed ribs of Xie Yue, who had left himself wide open while exerting force!

"Boom!"

Xie Yue felt an irresistible force and a bone-piercing chill hit him simultaneously. He was sent flying sideways, crashing heavily into the protective light barrier of the arena. When he slid down, a layer of thin ice had already covered his body. He struggled a few times but could not rise immediately, his movements temporarily frozen!

At that moment, on the other side of the arena, having lost the support of Xie Yue and Hu Liena, Yan faced the combined assault of Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Osler, Yu Feng, and the Shi Brothers. No matter how strong his defense or how fierce his attacks, he could not fight off six people at once. Amidst the frantic thunder, deadly poison, sharp claws, wind blades, and heavy impacts, he finally let out a roar of unwillingness before Yu Tianheng broke his defense with a Thunder Dragon Claw, blasting him off the arena!

With this, all seven members of the Martial Soul Hall Academy team had been defeated!

On the stage, only Lin Yi remained, along with Hu Liena, who was held in his arms, mentally traumatized and unable to resist, and Xie Yue, who was temporarily frozen and unable to move.

The entire Great Soul Arena fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was stunned by the near-crushing victory that had unfolded in the blink of an eye.

The Golden Generation of Martial Soul Hall, three Soul Kings, had actually... lost so thoroughly!

In the VIP seating area, the knuckles of the hand Bibi Dong used to grip her scepter turned slightly white.

Her peerlessly beautiful face still maintained the majesty of a Pope, but within those phoenix eyes surged shock, fury, and a trace of indescribable gravity.

This child... is far too terrifying!

After a long while, Bibi Dong slowly stood up, her cold, clear voice carrying across the entire arena with a hint of imperceptible strain:

"Martial Soul Hall Academy... concedes."

"This Seat declares that the champion of this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is—"

"Heaven, Dou, Imperial, Academy!"

After a brief moment of silence, mountain-shaking cheers and exclamations erupted like a volcanic explosion, sweeping across the entirety of Martial Soul City!
