Finals: Shrek vs. Spirit Pagoda

Jin Qiurui sincerely praised Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin before her. "You two are incredible. Your Martial Soul Fusion Skill is practically unbeatable."

Tang Wulin chuckled. "Of course. Even Na'er and my Dragon God Transformation probably wouldn't stand a chance against this Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

Gu Yuena immediately protested, "If you weren't unable to split into two, I'd definitely want to test it right now."

Huo Yuhao shook his head with a helpless smile. "Let's head back and rest first. We still have the individual elimination matches tomorrow."

Thus, everyone from Spirit Pagoda Academy returned to the hotel together to rest.

After watching the team battle between Spirit Pagoda Academy and Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, everyone from Shrek Academy could not help but frown deeply. Without a doubt, the formidable strength Spirit Pagoda Academy had displayed far exceeded their expectations.

Wang Yan wore a thoughtful expression. "We need to defeat Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin first, so they don't get the chance to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

Bei Bei nodded. "That's right. Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy underestimated the power of those two Soul Ancestors' Martial Soul Fusion Skill from the start, which was why they lost their chance at final victory."

After discussing their tactics, everyone firmly believed that they could defend Shrek's glory this time as well. Thus, they confidently shouted in unison, "Shrek will win!"

The next day's two individual elimination matches naturally ended with victories for Shrek Academy and Spirit Pagoda Academy, and both advanced to the finals.

In the first match, Dai Yueheng single-handedly achieved a one-versus-seven victory, completely crushing Long'an Academy.

In the second match, after Jin Qiurui overwhelmed five members of Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, including Ma Rulong, she voluntarily conceded and switched out.

Then Huo Yuhao took the stage. With Ultimate Ice's immunity to poison and the mental control of his Spirit Eyes, he defeated Soul King-level Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen consecutively with the strength of a Soul Ancestor, ultimately securing victory in the individual elimination match.

The following day.

Today was the final day of the tournament, the ultimate showdown between Shrek Academy and Spirit Pagoda Academy.

The finals followed the same format of team battles and individual elimination matches, but the schedule was shorter than in the previous elimination rounds. Both the team battle and individual elimination match had to be completed in one day.

On this crucial day of the finals, the White Tiger Duke—Dai Hao—had rushed back from the front lines and arrived early at the side of Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei, ready to watch his two sons compete.

Upon seeing their father, Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin both revealed looks of delight, their fighting spirit instantly surging.

Both of them silently made up their minds that they would definitely display their formidable strength in today's finals and prove themselves to their father.

Huo Yuhao merely cast Dai Hao a calm glance before walking onto the competition stage with an indifferent expression.

Tang Wulin had been holding Huo Yuhao's hand all along. He naturally knew that Dai Hao was Huo Yuhao's enemy. Thus, he softly comforted him, "Brother Yuhao, I'll definitely help you avenge your grievances."

Huo Yuhao stroked Tang Wulin's cheek and smiled. "My Wulin treats me the best."

Ma Xiaotao said to the six people beside her, "The lineup is the same as in the semifinals. Xiao Xiao won't be competing. We'll proceed according to the original plan."

After the Heavenly Fiend Douluo announced the start of the match, Tang Wutong was the first to fly toward Huo Yuhao, arriving directly before him.

"Huo Yuhao, I'm your opponent."

Seeing Tang Wutong's Wing Guillotine sweep straight toward him, Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched. Left with no choice, he used the impact force of Ice Empress's Fury and Ice Empress's Pincer to knock Tang Wutong away.

"Brother Yuhao, I'll help you."

Tang Wulin was about to join Huo Yuhao in dealing with his sister when he was suddenly blocked by the Hell White Tiger formed by Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu.

The seven members of Shrek Academy had long since made thorough preparations, each deliberately seeking out their own opponent.

Bei Bei faced Xu Sanshi, Dai Yueheng fought Jin Qiurui, Ma Xiaotao alone battled the Snow Dance Rainbow Raiment formed by Ling Luocheng and Su Tong, while He Caitou used soul tool beams to interfere with Jiang Nannan's movements.

Seeing Bei Bei treat him to Tyrant Emperor Thunder Domain's lightning banquet, Xu Sanshi immediately complained, "Don't mess up my handsome hairstyle. I never said I liked an afro."

Protected by the Invincible Shield of the Golden Tortoiseshell, Xu Sanshi successfully blocked Bei Bei's Tyrant Emperor Thunder Domain and the attacks of his Soul Spirit, the Sky Dragon Horse. He then counterattacked with Turtle God Crash and Netherworld Shock.

Bei Bei had already expended a tremendous amount of Soul Power, so naturally he had no strength left to withstand Xu Sanshi's attacks. After all, Bei Bei was only a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, while Xu Sanshi was a Five-Ring Soul King.

Even in the original story, the two could only fight evenly when their strength was equal, let alone now, when there was a gap in Soul Power. Thus, Bei Bei ultimately collapsed from exhaustion and lost to Xu Sanshi.

Xu Sanshi immediately rushed to Jiang Nannan's side and used Netherworld Swap, exchanging positions with He Caitou, who had been attacking Jiang Nannan from afar.

With the assistance of her Soul Spirit, the Rouge Soft-Tendon Python, Jiang Nannan naturally closed in at once and defeated He Caitou with Flexible Bone Lock.

Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan then arrived at Huo Yuhao's side and joined him in dealing with Tang Wutong.

Tang Wutong used the Hexagram Formation and Light Butterfly God Slash on Huo Yuhao in succession, but the two who had arrived blocked them with the Netherworld Shield Formation and Invincible Golden Body.

Before the two arrived, Huo Yuhao had been constantly using teleportation to evade Tang Wutong's attacks. Since he had kept Spiritual Detection Sharing active the entire time, he had been observing the overall battle situation at every moment. In truth, he had been conserving Soul Power while waiting for the right opportunity.

Tang Wutong had already exhausted a great deal of Soul Power, so she stopped attacking and taunted him tactically. "You're nothing but a coward who knows how to run and hide."

Huo Yuhao smiled disdainfully. "It seems you still haven't seen the situation clearly."

Tang Wulin had already defeated the Hell White Tiger and given Dai Huabin a brutal beating before charging straight back to Huo Yuhao's side.

Elsewhere, Jin Qiurui and the Scarlet King had also defeated Dai Yueheng and the Giant-Palm Black Tiger together.

Likewise, Ling Luocheng and Su Tong truly deserved to be disciples personally taught by the Snow Empress. Their ice control and temperature control had long since made them utterly unafraid of flames and high heat, and the Snow Dance Rainbow Raiment ultimately defeated Ma Xiaotao.

"How is that possible?! Ice can defeat fire?"

Every spectator was struck with shock. They immediately cried out in unison and began discussing it heatedly.

Xuan Zi, who was gnawing on a chicken leg, stroked his white beard. "The Martial Soul Fusion Skill of these two little ones seems to have helped suppress some of Xiaotao's evil fire. Not much, but it did have some effect."

Looking at Tang Wutong not far in front of him, Huo Yuhao smiled faintly. "Now you're the only one left. It seems your plan to defeat us one by one was quite effective indeed."

Tang Wulin raised an eyebrow. "Looks like Brother Yuhao and I won't even need to use our Martial Soul Fusion Skill. I really didn't expect Shrek Academy's people to be this weak."

Tang Wutong's delicate brows furrowed. "You're not allowed to insult Shrek Academy!"

The next moment, the Clear Sky Hammer silently appeared in Tang Wutong's hand and slowly began to grow larger.

With fury written across her face, Tang Wutong gripped the hammer's handle and fiercely smashed it down at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao helplessly complained inwardly, It's always like this. She only knows how to bully me.
