The finals were held in front of Pope Hall, and commoners were forbidden from watching.
However, the Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament Finals, second only to the Continental Soul Master Ranking Tournament, was one of the grandest events on the Douluo Continent.
Therefore, there was no shortage of Soul Masters and nobles in attendance!
Moreover, the leaders and elders of nearly every top sect across the Douluo Continent had gathered here.
They included Ning Fengzhi, sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; Sword Douluo; Yu Luokun, elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect; the sect masters of the Wind Sword Sect and Rock Antelope Sect; and more!
There were also Shrek Academy's Golden Iron Triangle—Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender—as well as Shrek Academy's honorary dean, Dugu Bo.
"Phew! I'm so nervous, Boss Dai! Third Brother, I'm so nervous!" Ma Hongjun panted heavily as he bounced in place.
"What are you nervous about?" Dai Mubai curled his lips into a confident smirk. "Shrek Academy is definitely going to win this match. I said so!"
"No, Boss Dai, I mean there'll definitely be lots of pretty girls watching the finals later." Ma Hongjun revealed a lecherous grin. "And I heard the Spirit Hall Pope might personally come to watch."
"That old woman is supposedly over fifty, but she looks like a girl in her twenties. Just thinking about it gets me excited..."
Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu all showed looks of disdain at the same time.
"Go to hell!" Dai Mubai frowned and kicked Ma Hongjun in the crotch.
"Ow, Boss Dai, go easy! I still need that thing!" Ma Hongjun cried miserably.
"Third Brother." Dai Mubai soon regained a serious expression and looked at Tang San. "Do you think we can win this time?"
"Teacher has already analyzed the Spirit Hall Team's strength for me." Compared to Ma Hongjun, Tang San was far more composed.
"Although the Spirit Hall Team has been hiding its true strength, I have only one conclusion!"
"The championship will definitely be ours!!"
Tang San's heart was full of confidence.
Shrek Academy's team had swept through every round, crushing all opposition along the way. Their confidence was soaring.
Moreover, Tang San himself still had many tricks up his sleeve.
This match was Shrek Academy's for the taking!
No Spirit Hall Team could stop Tang San from claiming the championship!
"If Third Brother says we'll win, then Shrek Academy has this in the bag!" Xiao Wu's smile blossomed.
She did not know how to analyze the situation.
But she knew that she would trust Tang San without reservation!!
"Then I'll have my father arrange a victory banquet. Tonight, we'll celebrate properly!!" Ning Rongrong was positively delighted.
She had once been the little witch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, looking down on everyone.
But who could have imagined that after entering the tournament, she would accidentally win the Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament Finals championship!
Let's see who
would dare look down on her now!!
From now on, Ning Rongrong would be someone who could strut across the Douluo Continent with impunity.
Meanwhile.
At the Spirit Hall Team's resting area.
"Remember what I told you!"
Hu Liena, radiating a bewitching aura, looked coldly at the members of the Spirit Hall Team. "If you lose this match, Elder Ghost will throw me, my brother, and Yan into Lost Grand Canyon for training."
"Then I'll make sure you wish you were dead!"
Hearing this, the remaining Spirit Hall Team members, along with the Spirit Hall reserve members, all revealed extremely fearful expressions.
"Nana, what are you talking about? They're just a few fourteen-year-old brats who haven't even grown all their hair yet. How could they possibly beat us?"
"Nana, you're His Holiness the Pope's disciple. You don't even need to make a move. Watch me knock every last one of them flat by myself! No need to dirty your hands."
As Hu Liena's longtime bootlicker, Yan was the first to step forward with a smug smile.
"Yeah, Nana, you really are worrying too much." Xie Yue followed up. "Our Spirit Hall Team has never lost."
"Exactly, Lady Hu Liena, you're overthinking it." Xu Yu added. "We have you, Lord Xie Yue, and Lord Yan—three Soul Kings!"
"Little sister, if your brother isn't mistaken, once you win the Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament championship, you should become the Spirit Hall Saintess, right?" Xie Yue said with a smug smile.
"That's true. Why should I worry about a team that does not even have a Soul King?"
"Shrek Academy is nothing more than seven pieces of trash."
Hu Liena's lips curved up slightly.
In Hu Liena's view, there was no suspense left in this match.
Shrek Academy did not even have a Soul King.
Not to mention that she and her brother possessed a terrifying Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
Her brother was right. She was Bibi Dong's only disciple. As long as she won the Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament championship,
becoming the next Spirit Hall Saintess was practically guaranteed!!
"Yan pays respects to the Saintess!" Yan would not miss even the slightest chance to flatter Hu Liena, immediately cupping his hands toward her.
"Did you ask me before trying to become the Spirit Hall Saintess?"
At that moment, an unfamiliar yet imposing voice rang out!
Hu Liena and the other six hurriedly turned around. There stood a young man with fluttering robes, sword-like brows, and starry eyes.
This young man was even younger than Hu Liena and the others, yet he possessed an aura and temperament utterly unlike anyone his age.
Standing there, he seemed like a war god hidden away from the mortal world.
His eyes in particular radiated an incomparable chill, making people afraid to meet his gaze!
He was none other than Qian Renchu!
Qian Renchu's appearance here made his intentions perfectly clear.
He wanted to replace the Spirit Hall Team and challenge Shrek Academy alone!
After all, in the original story, the endings of these seven pieces of trash had long been decided: they would lose to Shrek Academy,
needlessly giving away three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones, along with Spirit Hall's dignity!
Qian Renchu had come here precisely to preserve Spirit Hall's honor!
Hu Liena and the others were first stunned by Qian Renchu's aura, then an enraged voice burst forth. "Who the fuck are you? Say that again if you've got the guts."
Naturally, Yan was the first to speak.
No matter how strong Qian Renchu's presence was, he was merely someone even younger than Yan. What did Yan have to fear?
Besides, Qian Renchu had dared insult all seven of them—especially Hu Liena by calling her trash. That was something Yan could never tolerate.
"I'll smash you to death with one punch!" Yan said as he charged at Qian Renchu with a fist raised.
But in the next instant, Yan felt a fierce suffocating pressure descend upon his body.
It was as though he were carrying a towering mountain on his back!
Yan's knees slammed violently into the ground!!
"Ah!" As his knees hit the ground, his bones shattered instantly, making Yan howl in heart-rending agony.
"Yan!" Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and the others were utterly shocked by the sudden scene.
