Final Championship Victory

The next day.

The seven members of the Shrek Academy Team and the seven members of the Spirit Hall Team stepped onto the arena at the same time.

The Spirit Hall host announced in a voice like a ringing bell, "Yu Dongyu, Ci Renling, and Yan truly deserve to be called the Golden Generation of our Spirit Hall. At such young ages, all three of them have already reached level fifty-three Soul King."

"And can the Shrek Academy Team, which likewise has one level fifty-one Soul King and two level fifty-nine Soul Kings, defeat our Golden Generation? Let us wait and see."

"I hereby declare the final showdown of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament—Spirit Hall Team versus Shrek Academy Team—begin!"

"Third Soul Skill, Celestial Fox's Enchanting Melody!"

As soon as the battle began, Hu Liena immediately used her third Soul Skill on the seven members of the Spirit Hall Team.

Mother had said that, so long as it was not the mental control of Crimson Beauty's Thousand Calamities or Nine-Tailed Protection, Hu Liena's other three Soul Skills were nothing to fear.

With that in mind, a smile curled across Yu Dongyu's lips. She immediately covered her ears and closed her eyes. Likewise, the other six members of the Spirit Hall Team shut off their sight and hearing.

Dai Mubai seized the opportunity to activate his White Tiger Demon God Transformation and boost his combat strength. Oscar immediately distributed Detox Little Sausages to his teammates, and all seven members of the Shrek Academy Team swallowed them together.

"Martial Soul Fusion, Demon Charm!"

At the same time, Xie Yue and Hu Liena stood back-to-back, their palms pressed together. The two gradually merged into one as strange red mist poured from their body, instantly enveloping all seven members of the Spirit Hall Team.

The seven members of the Spirit Hall Team immediately suffered sharp declines in their senses, speed, mobility, defense, attack, and other attributes. Even the poison's effects were greatly weakened.

Watching from the spectator stands, Dugu Bo could not help but praise, "I never expected your two disciples to possess such a trump card as a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. You've truly made me see them in a new light."

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly. "You flatter them, Senior."

When Yu Dongyu opened her eyes, she found herself suddenly trapped in the red mist, unable to see anything.

When the red mist dispersed, all seven members of the Spirit Hall Team were already lying on the ground. Each of them bore a clear wound from a Moon Blade.

The Spirit Hall referee and host could only declare helplessly, "I announce that the ultimate champions of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament are—Shrek Academy!"

Ma Hongjun jumped up excitedly. "Yeah! We're the champions!"

Ning Rongrong raised her right hand and cheered, "Shrek will win!"

Watching Ning Rongrong dance with joy, Ning Fengzhi and Jian Chenxin, who stood in the spectator stands, immediately revealed gratified smiles and quietly applauded.

After awarding the three Soul Bone prizes to Xie Yue, Bibi Dong asked Xie Yue, who stood right before her, "Are you willing to join Spirit Hall?"

Without hesitation, Xie Yue answered calmly, "I'm afraid I cannot comply. I'm not willing."

With that, Xie Yue walked back to his friends without looking back. After giving two of the Soul Bones to Ma Hongjun and Zhu Zhuqing respectively, he temporarily put away the Wisdom Skull of Spiritual Condensation.

No one objected, because Huo Yuhao had already explained his intentions to them. Moreover, Huo Yuhao had helped everyone greatly, so naturally none of them had any complaints.

After leaving the Papal Palace safely, Xie Yue handed the head Soul Bone to Huo Yuhao, who planned to give it to Tang San in the end.

Although Bibi Dong had not openly made a move after the tournament ended, Spirit Hall was surely already impatient to act against me. It was not safe for Hu Liena and Xie Yue to remain by my side now.

Thinking this, Huo Yuhao decided to have Tang Wulin escort Hu Liena and Xie Yue back to their parents.

Ma Hongjun suggested, "How about we make a five-year promise? Five years from now, we'll return to Shrek Academy and gather again."

Dai Mubai nodded. "Zhuqing and I really do need to return to Star Luo for a while to handle some matters. Fatty's suggestion is good. Then, we'll meet again in five years."

Seeing that Oscar was preparing to return to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect with Ning Rongrong, Huo Yuhao suddenly said to Ning Rongrong, "It's time for you to tell him the truth."

Ning Rongrong pressed her lips tightly together before finally gritting her teeth and explaining the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's rules to Oscar.

After hearing this, Oscar ultimately decided to go to the Far North to survive and cultivate, making himself stronger.

"Rongrong, wait for me to return."

Seeing Oscar's resolute expression, Ning Rongrong immediately burst into tears.

Ning Fengzhi stroked his daughter's head and comforted her as he watched Oscar's departing figure. "Father supports the two of you, Rongrong. You should believe in him too."

As everyone else gradually left, Hu Liena turned to Huo Yuhao and said, "Five years from now, my brother and I will definitely return to Shrek Academy to find you, Master."

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow and laughed. "It's not as though we'll never see each other again. Why are you making it sound like a final farewell?"

Huo Yuhao first used the Simulation Soul Skill to conceal the forms and auras of Tang Wulin, Hu Liena, and Xie Yue, then sent the three of them outside Spirit City. Afterward, he went alone to the Icefire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest.

After returning the God Realm Fragment he had previously buried deep beneath the center of the lake to its original location, he went alone to the Papal Palace in Spirit City.

By the time Huo Yuhao arrived at the Papal Palace, Tang Wulin had just escorted Hu Liena and Xie Yue to an overlooked village in a remote region of the continent.

After exchanging pleasantries with Hu Zheyuan and Xie Ningna for a while, Tang Wulin bade Hu Liena and Xie Yue farewell, then finally left and set off back toward Spirit City.

Spirit Hall, Papal Palace.

After showing the guards at the Papal Palace entrance his forged papal decree, Huo Yuhao made his way unimpeded into the Papal Palace and arrived before Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong sat upon her throne with a scepter in hand and a sinister smile on her face, her gaze fixed on Huo Yuhao before her.

"You have quite the nerve, coming to my door of your own accord."

"Brother, stop pretending. I know it's you. Bibi Dong would never force Master so actively. You must have persuaded her to do it."

Using Huo Yuhao's body, Ouyang Luyao spoke to Bibi Dong before her.

Using Bibi Dong's body, Lin Tianming clapped his hands and praised, "As expected of my good little sister. You recognized your brother at a glance."

"Why are you here?"

"I simply wanted to see you. After all, we haven't seen each other for hundreds of millions of light-years."

Huo Yuhao said to Bibi Dong with a grave expression, "Becoming the Rakshasa God will bring no good outcome. You should give up on becoming the Rakshasa God. I can take you to ascend to the God Realm."

After Huo Yuhao's earnest and emotional persuasion, Bibi Dong finally nodded and agreed to his suggestion.

After Tang Wulin returned to Spirit City and successfully reunited with Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao immediately told him that Bibi Dong had accepted his proposal.

Tang Wulin said in astonishment, "Brother Yuhao, you're incredible. Bibi Dong actually agreed to your suggestion. This is truly unbelievable."

Huo Yuhao replied with a smile, "After all, when faced with the choice between immortality and death, most people cannot resist the temptation of immortality."

Suddenly, two figures silently appeared behind Huo Yuhao. One of them demanded,

"Huo Yuhao, what have you been doing behind my back again?"
