Finals, Victory

"You want money!"

Yu Xiaogang paused. He did not have much wealth to his name, only sixty Gold Soul Coins in total.

After leaving the family, these were almost all the savings he had accumulated during the Golden Iron Triangle days and after becoming a teacher.

Handing it all over was painful, but you could not catch a wolf without sacrificing a child.

Besides, Tang San, whom he had personally trained, possessed limitless potential.

As long as he could win this match, Yu Xiaogang would gain two more genius disciples.

Then who would dare look down on Yu Xiaogang?

"I agree, but if you lose, you must become my disciple."

"It's a deal."

I was just worrying about having no money to feed Gu Yuena, that big eater.

Since you came to me, you can hardly blame me.

"Shen Yifeng, I'll prove that I'm the strongest."

Tang San was brimming with fighting spirit.

"We'll settle it in the arena!"

Shen Yifeng left directly, with no intention of tangling with Tang San any longer.

Gu Yuena quickly followed him.

After the two left,

Yu Xiaogang patted Tang San on the shoulder.

"This time is different. Little San, you have to win. My pride and my wallet are depending on you."

If his wallet was gone, it would truly be gone.

Those Gold Soul Coins he had saved could only be handed over to someone else.

"Teacher, I'll do my best."

Tang San spoke with great confidence.

With the Tang Sect's supreme techniques added in, he could definitely win the match.

Then he could prove that Shen Yifeng had been wrong all along.

"Yifeng, you really thought this through. Once we win, those fifty-plus Gold Soul Coins will be enough for us to feast to our hearts' content."

"I heard the food in Heaven Dou City is even better than in Nuoding City. How about we go try it then?"

Gu Yuena was already imagining herself having a filling meal instead of constantly eating rice.

"It really isn't easy raising you."

"If Yu Xiaogang hadn't delivered himself to us, you'd have completely drained me. My Silver Soul Coins are already gone."

He was now poor enough to hear his pockets rattle.

Who was raising whom, exactly?

She talked every day about raising me, but what was the result?

Even my only savings had been eaten away.

"Yifeng, don't worry. This is only temporary. Once the academy tournament is over, we'll have a huge sum of money."

Gu Yuena made the promise solemnly.

She was supposed to be the wife who kept him.

Yet now he was being kept by his wife.

But it would only be for a few days. Once everything was over, he could find time to return to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Xiong Jun and Di Tian were powerful soul beasts with boundless strength. If they did work others could not do, they could definitely make a fortune.

"Do I look like I believe you?"

Shen Yifeng gave a cold laugh.

"Yifeng, believe me. How could I, Gu Yuena, possibly lie to you?"

I'm being looked down on again. Wife, don't look at me with such disdain.

I'll really be sad.

I had to perform well in the finals.

Otherwise, I would truly lose face.

"Heh."

Shen Yifeng continued toward the finals venue.

Gu Yuena hurried after him.

Very soon,

they arrived at the finals arena. The surrounding seats were already filled with students, and even the headmaster had come to watch.

"Yifeng, your opponents this time are Tang San and Xiao Wu. They work together very well, so you and Gu Yuena must be careful."

Ye Hao found the two of them and reminded them.

"Thank you for the reminder, Teacher Ye. I'm confident. My enhancements are very powerful."

Shen Yifeng smiled confidently.

"It's good to be confident." Ye Hao nodded in satisfaction.

Then Shen Yifeng and Gu Yuena stepped onto the stage, while Xiao Wu and Tang San followed them up onto it.

The referee announced loudly,

"Finals: Shen Yifeng and Gu Yuena versus Tang San and Xiao Wu! Begin!"

The instant his words fell, Tang San attacked first.

"First soul skill, Blue Silver Grass Bind!"

Countless Blue Silver Grass blades burst out from the ground, winding toward Gu Yuena like venomous snakes.

Shen Yifeng activated Martial Soul Possession and unleashed his first and second soul skills, sending two beams of light into Gu Yuena's body.

Empowered, Gu Yuena first used her first soul skill, Elemental Tide, then unleashed her second soul skill, Elemental Control. A tiny flame instantly sprang up at her fingertip.

The flame landed on the ground and instantly became a sea of fire.

Every blade of Blue Silver Grass ignited upon contact, turning to ash in the blink of an eye.

Tang San frowned. Instead of retreating, he advanced.

He used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, his figure flickering unpredictably as he instantly rushed before Gu Yuena.

Mysterious Jade Hand gathered all his strength as he struck toward her chest with his palm.

Gu Yuena raised a hand and summoned a wall of ice.

With a bang, the ice wall shattered.

Just as Tang San was about to continue his attack, three Wind Blades flew straight at him.

He hurriedly twisted aside to avoid them, but his shoulder was still sliced open.

At that moment, Xiao Wu circled behind Shen Yifeng.

"First soul skill, Waist Bow!"

Xiao Wu bent her body into a bow and sprang at Shen Yifeng like a coiled spring.

The Rainbow Wings behind Shen Yifeng gave a light flap.

He instantly shifted three meters sideways and easily evaded her.

Xiao Wu missed and crashed heavily onto the ground.

"So fast. This Martial Soul is actually this powerful."

She had just climbed back up and was about to leap again, intending to combine it with her second soul skill this time.

Gu Yuena had already turned around.

Her gaze instantly turned cold.

Countless ice spikes rose from the ground, densely packed and aimed at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu retreated again and again in fright, no longer daring to approach Shen Yifeng by even half a step.

With all these summoned elements, Xiao Wu could not find any opportunity at all.

Seeing this, Tang San reached toward his waist.

Three Sleeve Arrows shot silently toward Shen Yifeng.

Gu Yuena had been prepared. She raised her hand and summoned a curtain of water.

All the Sleeve Arrows struck the water curtain and fell to the ground.

"Earth Prison, Wind Blade, Water Wall."

Gu Yuena brought her hands together.

A water wall appeared first, trapping Tang San. Then another water wall appeared to reinforce it, while countless Wind Blades danced within.

Tang San's expression changed as he hurriedly dodged back and forth. He had no chance to counterattack inside.

In any case, no one outside could see what was happening within. If he wanted to break out, he could only use the Clear Sky Hammer.

Without time to think further, he clenched his hand in midair.

The Clear Sky Hammer appeared, smashing fiercely at the Wind Blades, the water walls trapping him, and the Earth Prison.

Tang San quickly broke through. Using the smoke that formed, he withdrew the Clear Sky Hammer, but before he could prepare to strike again,

a massive fireball Gu Yuena had condensed in the air came crashing down.

Tang San froze. He could not evade it at all. The area was completely sealed off, so he could only summon countless Blue Silver Grass blades to block it.

With a deafening boom,

he was blasted back repeatedly. His footing faltered, and his chest felt tight.

On the other side, Gu Yuena had trapped Xiao Wu in a corner with an ice wall.

Countless Wind Blades also danced around her. Just as she finally managed to leap out,

Shen Yifeng appeared behind Xiao Wu and kicked her flying toward Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena had already condensed a fire spear in her hand and immediately held it before Xiao Wu's throat. It was only a hair's breadth away from piercing through.

"Xiao Wu!" Tang San shouted anxiously.

He looked up to see fireballs and Wind Blades appearing in the air once more.

The two elements were aimed directly at his chest.

The moment he took a step forward, he would be hit.

"I concede!"

Tang San gritted his teeth and shouted unwillingly.

Xiao Wu had been captured, and he had no way out. His remaining Tang Sect techniques were completely useless.

This Elemental Control was far too terrifying.

The referee was stunned for a moment, then loudly announced, "Shen Yifeng and Gu Yuena win! They are the champions of this Duo Combat Tournament!"

Thunderous applause erupted throughout the arena.
