Tang Wutong VS Tang Wulin

Under the same rules as the previous elimination round, because Shrek Academy had lost the team battle, if they wanted to turn the situation around in the individual elimination round, they had to use no more than three members to defeat Spirit Pagoda Academy's seven contestants one after another.

Only by winning the individual elimination round would Shrek Academy qualify for an extra match using the 2-2-3 Battle Method to contend for the final championship.

Likewise, for Spirit Pagoda Academy, they only needed to have their seven members defeat Shrek Academy's three competing members in succession during the individual elimination round to claim final victory and become the champions everyone had been watching for in this tournament.

After careful discussion with his team members, Wang Yan ultimately decided on the order of appearance: Tang Wutong, Dai Yueheng, and Ma Xiaotao.

Huo Yuhao arranged his own side's order as Xiao Xiao, Tang Wulin, Jiang Nannan, Xu Sanshi, Su Tong, and Huo Yuhao.

That was right—there were only six people. With Huo Yuhao himself as the final safeguard, they did not need a seventh person to take the stage.

Ling Luocheng voiced her doubts to Huo Yuhao. "Shrek Academy has two Soul Emperors. Why not let Qiu'er and me, who are also Soul Emperors, compete in the individual elimination round?"

"They will certainly go all out to defend Shrek's honor. If we send the two of you out directly, I'm worried you'll both end up badly injured."

Huo Yuhao continued, "When they see opponents with lower Soul Power Levels than theirs, they will definitely conserve Soul Power while constantly guarding against the possibility of you two appearing."

"And each of us only needs to consume a certain amount of their Soul Power. If we proceed gradually and drain them without their noticing, we can secure the final victory at the smallest cost."

After hearing Huo Yuhao's explanation, Ling Luocheng still had some doubts. "I understand the reasoning, but you only have four rings. Can you really deal with two Soul Emperors?"

Tang Wulin smiled knowingly. "Brother Yuhao's Spirit Eyes spiritual power and Ultimate Ice are far more formidable than you think."

Huo Yuhao gave his final instructions. "Everyone, just do your best. Once you've consumed enough, surrender proactively in time. Don't force yourselves and get hurt. We are a team, and every one of us is important."

The others nodded at his words. "Understood."

Then, Xiao Xiao and Tang Wutong stepped onto the competition stage at the same time, and battle was about to erupt.

Wing Guillotine!

Seeing Tang Wutong fly straight toward her, Xiao Xiao immediately played her flute, using Slowdown to reduce Tang Wutong's flying speed.

Next, Xiao Xiao switched her martial soul to the Three-Life Soul Suppression Cauldron and used Cauldron Shock to counter Tang Wutong's attack as she approached.

The three cauldrons merged into one, successfully blocking Tang Wutong's attack and forcefully knocking her away. The butterfly wings behind Tang Wutong's back flapped wildly, and she finally stabilized herself.

Light Butterfly God Slash!

Countless blades of light suddenly burst from the butterfly radiance, leaving deep streaks of light across the Three-Life Soul Suppression Cauldron.

Just as Tang Wutong was preparing to press her advantage and use Wing Guillotine again to defeat Xiao Xiao in one stroke, she suddenly saw Xiao Xiao raise her right hand and calmly say:

"Referee, I surrender."

Huang Jinxu immediately flashed between Xiao Xiao and Tang Wutong upon hearing this and announced:

"In the first match of the individual elimination round, Tang Wutong of Shrek Academy wins. Please send Spirit Pagoda Academy's second contestant onto the stage."

Tang Wulin then stepped onto the competition stage, brushing past Xiao Xiao as she came down.

The warm sunlight shone upon the stunningly beautiful Tang Wutong and the spirited Tang Wulin, this pair of siblings, making the radiance they gave off shine even more brilliantly.

Butterfly Goddess's Light, Light Butterfly God Slash!

Tang Wutong knew that she only needed to win two matches to complete her task perfectly. Thus, she held nothing back in this battle, using all her strength as she sought to defeat her younger brother.

Tang Wulin used the Bluesilver Thorn Formation to shield himself. With the formation shattering apart, he successfully blocked Tang Wutong's attack.

Seeing Tang Wutong immediately deploy a Hexagram Formation in an attempt to drain his Soul Power, a blood-red domain rose around Tang Wulin as well, and the air was instantly filled with a grim, murderous atmosphere.

Golden Dragon Prison-Suppressing Strike!

The golden dragon that appeared behind Tang Wulin was dyed blood-red by the domain in an instant. It mercilessly devoured Tang Wutong's glittering Hexagram Formation, immediately nullifying its Soul Power-draining effect.

Golden Dragon Annihilation Claw...

Tang Wutong had exhausted her Soul Power and was completely spent. She could only watch helplessly as Tang Wulin used Bluesilver Entanglement to bind her, unable to resist. She thought Tang Wulin, who was steadily approaching her, was about to defeat her with the Golden Dragon Annihilation Claw, but his next action shocked every spectator present.

Tang Wulin suddenly withdrew his Golden Dragon Claw and chuckled. "I was just teasing you. I surrender."

Skyfiend Douluo reminded him, "Are you sure? This is no child's play."

Tang Wulin turned and walked off the stage with a calm expression, waving his hand as he said, "She's my sister. I can't bear to hit her. Let my teammates handle it instead."

Skyfiend Douluo then announced the result of the second match, and Jiang Nannan stepped onto the competition stage.

Meng Hongchen, who was watching, said in surprise, "Those two are actually siblings!"

Xiao Hongchen frowned slightly. "Spirit Pagoda Academy is obviously going easy on them. Do they not want to win?"

The spectators in the stands were also discussing the matter heatedly, their suspicions growing.

Tang Wutong had very little Soul Power left, so she directly took out the Clear Sky Hammer and engaged Jiang Nannan in close combat.

Using several teleportations, Jiang Nannan skillfully dodged Tang Wutong's repeated Clear Sky Hammer attacks. She found an opening to use Gravity Control on Tang Wutong, then finally defeated the exhausted Tang Wutong with a close-range Waist Bow.

Tang Wutong was not discouraged by her defeat. Instead, she was glad that she had drained more of Jiang Nannan's Soul Power before she stepped down from the stage. At the same time, Dai Yueheng consciously made his way onto the competition grounds.

Likewise, Jiang Nannan repeatedly used teleportation to evade Dai Yueheng's waves of attacks. After using Invincible Golden Body to block the White Tiger Meteor Shower empowered by White Tiger Demon God Transformation, she promptly chose to surrender.

Next up was the thick-skinned and sturdy Xu Sanshi. This fellow was extremely hard to beat down, and the absolute defensive power of his Golden Tortoiseshell actually forced Dai Yueheng to unleash two major killing moves: White Tiger Annihilation Strike and Tyrant Tiger Soul-Refining Blade.

As expected, once Xu Sanshi saw that his objective had been achieved, he voluntarily surrendered. Dai Yueheng had consequently expended most of his Soul Power in that battle, making it inevitable for him to be frozen into an ice sculpture during his fight against Su Tong.

But Wang Yan had given him the task of defeating three people. His resolve to defend Shrek's honor drove Dai Yueheng to exhaust his last trace of Soul Power and forcibly break through the restraints of the ice seal.

Dai Yueheng clenched his teeth. He struggled to raise the Tyrant Tiger Soul-Refining Blade and, using the last of his strength, charged toward Su Tong step by step, determined to fight to the very end.

Why was he, a Soul Emperor, unable to defeat three Soul Kings who had taken turns wearing him down?

After Su Tong froze him once more, Dai Yueheng let out this unwilling question in his heart.

In truth, Dai Yueheng's strength in this tournament did rank among the best. Against several ordinary Soul Kings, his Soul Power would have been more than enough to handle them with ease.

But today, he had encountered Xu Sanshi, who possessed the bloodline of the Black Tortoise Divine Beast. Naturally, it had taken a great deal of Soul Power to deal with him.

Furthermore, the reason Xu Sanshi had lasted so long this time was largely because Dai Yueheng had bullied Jiang Nannan in the previous match. Xu Sanshi naturally could not swallow that anger, so he tangled with his new enemy for a while longer.

Frozen into an ice sculpture once again, Dai Yueheng finally had no strength left to resist. Skyfiend Douluo therefore announced Su Tong as the winner of this match.

Ma Xiaotao, below the stage, had long been unable to stand by and watch her teammate suffer harm. In an instant, she flew onto the competition stage and, without a word, melted the ice sculpture into water with a blast of fire.

Thus, the drenched Dai Yueheng dragged his heavy steps and silently walked off the competition grounds. The battle between Ma Xiaotao and Su Tong was about to erupt.
