"I have waited a long time for this day!"
Tang San's voice was icy, containing the intensity of a volcanic eruption.
He stood at the very front of the Shrek Seven Devils, his gaze locked firmly onto Yang Teng, his eyes filled with hatred and a desperate longing to wash away his shame.
From the conflicts during the preliminary rounds to Liu Erlong's injury, and now to this final arena that would decide the ultimate glory, all old scores and new grudges would be settled at this very moment.
Yang Teng picked at his ear, a lazy smile hanging on his face.
"Oh? Waited a long time? What, are you gay? Why are you so obsessed with me!"
"Yang Teng!!!"
Tang San's fury was completely ignited, his face twisting instantly.
"Today, I, Tang San, will definitely make you pay the price for everything you have done!"
"Blah, blah, blah..."
The smile on Yang Teng's face vanished instantly, replaced by undisguised impatience and coldness.
"If you want to fight, then fight! Stop wasting your breath!"
Their gazes collided in the air, as if sparks were flying between them. The atmosphere of the entire arena was pushed to a climax by the undisguised hostility and gunpowder-like tension between these two core figures!
In the center of the ring, the referee felt the battle intent from both sides. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and without a moment's delay, he swung his arm down fiercely:
"The Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament Grand Finals, the final duel between Tianshui Academy and Shrek Academy, the match... begins!"
"Boom!"
Almost the instant the referee's voice fell, both teams surged forward like two torrents, colliding fiercely!
On the Shrek side, the fastest to react were Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing!
"Zhuqing!"
"Mubai!"
The two were of one mind, erupting with spirit power simultaneously! Black and white light soared into the sky, rapidly merging together!
Amidst a tiger's roar that shook the entire arena, the phantom of the Nether White Tiger took shape, vibrating its illusory wings as it charged ferociously toward the Tianshui Academy formation!
"What are you being arrogant about!"
Shui Bing'er's cold voice rang out. Facing the charging Nether White Tiger, there was not a hint of fear in her eyes.
"You aren't the only ones with a Martial Soul Fusion Skill! Xue Wu!"
"Understood!"
Xue Wu had already been standing shoulder-to-shoulder with her, and their spirit power resonated instantly!
An aura of extreme cold erupted from them as the center. In the stunned gaze of countless spectators, a massive, crystalline Ice Phoenix let out a clear cry, meeting the charging Nether White Tiger head-on!
The Ice Phoenix! Tianshui Academy had actually been hiding a Martial Soul Fusion Skill! And it was an Ice Phoenix, an extremely rare attribute with immense power!
"Screw you!!!"
When Ma Hongjun saw the Ice Phoenix soaring through the air, his eyes nearly popped out of his head, and he couldn't help but curse.
His martial soul was the Fire Phoenix, the pinnacle of flames.
Yet the Ice Phoenix was the very embodiment of extreme cold, the natural predator of the Fire Phoenix!
The lack of spirit power and the suppression of their attributes made him feel as though his phoenix flames had dimmed the moment the Ice Phoenix appeared, leaving him feeling incredibly stifled!
"It's the grand finals! Tianshui Academy actually still had a hidden Martial Soul Fusion Skill! And it's one that specifically counters me!"
Ma Hongjun stomped his feet in anger, but he knew this was no time for complaints.
"Nine Treasures turn into Glazed Light! First: Power! Second: Speed! Third: Spirit! Fourth: Defense!"
Ning Rongrong's crisp voice rang out, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda hovering in her palm as four spirit rings flashed in succession.
"Space Strangling!"
Yang Teng didn't even pay attention to the clash with the Nether White Tiger; his gaze had been locked onto the pink figure in the Shrek formation from the very beginning.
Xiao Wu!
He raised his hand, his five fingers gripping the empty air toward her location!
The air around Xiao Wu instantly twisted and collapsed. Countless fine, dangerous spatial cracks manifested out of thin air, forming a strangling cage that tightened ruthlessly around her!
"Don't you know how to teleport?"
A cold arc curled at the corner of Yang Teng's mouth.
"I'd like to see how many times you can teleport today!"
"Xiao Wu!"
Tang San's eyes were bloodshot as he let out a roar!
He could no longer afford to hold anything back!
Eight hideous purple-black spider spears burst from his back, tearing through his clothes! His left hand saw the Blue Silver Grass growing wildly, while his right hand gripped that heavy Clear Sky Hammer, which radiated an overbearing aura!
With his three trump cards unleashed, Tang San's aura instantly climbed to its peak. He intended to show Yang Teng that he was the only true opponent worthy of his attention!
"Elemental Tide!"
However, before Tang San could launch his attack, Gu Yena's cold, clear voice rang out.
She simply raised her jade-like hand and waved it in Tang San's direction.
In an instant, the conflicting elemental forces of heaven and earth gathered and swirled around Tang San in a violent, unstable frenzy!
The Elemental Turbulence Vortex swallowed Tang San in a heartbeat.
Forced to redirect his attack toward self-preservation, Tang San swung his Clear Sky Hammer, coiled his Blue Silver Grass, and thrust his Eight Spider Lances, struggling with all his might against the pervasive, chaotic elemental erosion.
For a moment, he was firmly trapped, unable to break free!
Relying on her third soul skill, Teleportation, and her exceptional physical flexibility, Xiao Wu narrowly dodged the Space Strangling.
Even so, the hem of her clothes was shredded by the invisible force of space, and several bloody gashes were left on her arm.
"Very good!"
"Then let's go again!"
Yang Teng shifted his focus, and another Space Strangling manifested exactly where Xiao Wu was about to land!
For someone possessing the Space-Time Divine Dragon martial soul and a newly bolstered mental power, the consumption was negligible.
Although Xiao Wu's Teleportation was elusive, it was, after all, a thousand-year third soul skill; frequent use drained her soul power rapidly!
As one side gained the advantage and the other faltered, her situation became extremely perilous.
"Rongrong! Catch!"
Oscar shouted, quickly manifesting Recovery Big Sausages and tossing them accurately toward Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong caught the sausages and swallowed them without hesitation. As her depleted soul power was rapidly replenished, the light of her Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda remained steady and dazzling, continuously providing powerful support to her teammates.
Ma Hongjun spread his phoenix wings, circling above Ning Rongrong and Oscar, wreathed in scorching phoenix flames.
On the Tianshui Academy side, aside from Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu, who were maintaining the Ice Phoenix, Shui Yue'er and others hovered on the flanks, watching like tigers.
Though Ma Hongjun was under immense pressure, the sheer power of his top-tier beast martial soul, the Fire Phoenix, allowed him to hold off two opponents at once without falling to defeat in the short term.
In the stands, gasps and exclamations rose one after another.
The commentator's voice was filled with excitement:
"Unexpected! Truly unexpected! Beyond the monster-level competitors Yang Teng and Gu Yena, Tianshui Academy's captain Shui Bing'er and teammate Xue Wu actually possess such a powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
"They are going head-to-head with Shrek Academy's Nether White Tiger! This has exceeded everyone's expectations!"
He paused, then analyzed the situation as per his usual routine:
"However, in the previous round, Shrek Academy miraculously defeated the Spirit Hall team, which boasted three Soul Kings, by relying on their Seven-in-One Fusion Skill!"
"Facing Tianshui Academy, which also possesses a Martial Soul Fusion Skill and outstanding individual strength, Shrek Academy seems to be putting some pressure on Tianshui Academy after this period of time!"
The commentator suddenly felt a cold, majestic gaze, and his entire body stiffened.
He saw Pope Bibi Dong sitting in the center of the VIP box, watching him coldly. Cold sweat instantly soaked his back!
He suddenly remembered that he had subconsciously taken a neutral stance by "analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of both sides."
He had even subtly mentioned the possibility of Shrek "creating a miracle"!
Terrified out of his wits, the commentator clamped his mouth shut, not daring to make any biased comments on the state of the match, and could only describe the battle on the arena in a dry, factual tone.
Bibi Dong withdrew her gaze and turned it back to the arena. Her red lips moved slightly as she whispered in a voice only she could hear:
"Yang Teng... let This Seat have a good look..."
"Let me see just how many more surprises you are hiding!"
