Tang Hao's Departure, the Final Battle of the Tournament
Boom--
The deafening roar, like divine punishment, caused the entire Spirit City to tremble violently.
A burst of intense light and a massive energy surge forced all the Soul Master present to release their Soul Power for defense. Some Soul Master with lower Soul Power were even knocked unconscious. Among them, six people from the Blazing Fire Academy were knocked unconscious, while only Xie Chong and Huo Lei remained conscious.
The seven figures that had risen into the air were simultaneously smashed down, and the giant hammer in the air disappeared as a result.
Tang Hao's figure flickered, and he disappeared with Tang San and Xiao Wu.
"Hahaha! The Spirit Hall owes me a debt that I will collect one day. Grandmaster, Flender, you have taught my son for many years, and I owe you a great debt." Tang Hao's deep voice came from the distance.
Huo Lei slowly straightened up from his crouching position, exhaled a breath of stale air, and muttered softly, "It's finally over."
Huo Lei's expression was solemn. Just as he was about to check on his companions, Ning Fengzhi released the true form of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's Tool Soul True Body. Instantly, a dazzling seven-colored light covered the entire area, and everyone who had been stunned by the energy wave woke up.
Huo Lei and Xie Chong looked delighted and helped their comrade who had regained consciousness on the ground to his feet.
Huo Lei looked at the arena and said, "Tang San and Xiao Wu from the Shrek Academy have been rescued by Tang Hao."
Xie Chong's side exclaimed, "Clear Sky Douluo is indeed extraordinary. He attacked the Papal Hall. His Holiness the Pope and the elders of the Spirit Hall will definitely protect the Papal Hall, after all, it is one of the symbols of the Spirit Hall and its dignity. They cannot stand by and watch it be destroyed. If the seven Titled Douluo had attacked Tang Hao directly, Tang Hao would probably be stuck here today, and of course, the Papal Hall would have been reduced to ruins."
Bibi Dong landed with a flushed face, which returned to normal after a moment. Behind her, in addition to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, there were four white-haired old men wearing long red robes.
Bibi Dong and the six people behind her all wore angry expressions.
Chrysanthemum Douluo bowed and said, "Your His Holiness the Pope, should we send someone to pursue them?"
"No need to chase him, it's useless. Over the years, I have been cultivating desperately and finally reached the level of Titled Douluo, but today, facing Tang Hao, I am still no match for him in terms of aura. Tang Hao is Tang Hao after all, what a Clear Sky Douluo." There was a hint of dejection in Bibi Dong's voice.
"Your His Holiness the Pope, Tang Hao is too arrogant. This concerns the dignity of the Spirit Hall," Ghost Douluo couldn't help but remind Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong's eyes were bloodshot as she snapped, "Shut up! Don't I understand? If Tang Hao were so easy to deal with, would he still be alive today? It's not time to deal with him yet."
Chrysanthemum Douluo asked, "What about these people?"
Bibi Dong glanced at everyone present, turned around, and swept away. "The Soul Master Tournament will continue. Tomorrow morning, the Spirit Hall Academy and Blazing Fire Academy will have their final battle. As for those who are not involved, let them leave Spirit City." As she finished speaking, she stepped into the Papal Hall.
The four elderly men who appeared afterward did not utter a word. They turned around with the Pope and returned to the Papal Hall.
Chrysanthemum Douluo relayed Pope Bibi Dong's order to the Cardinal who was acting as the referee, and then entered the Papal Hall with Douluo I.
The referee announced the Pope's order, and everyone on the field began to evacuate.
The group from the Blazing Fire Academy returned to the hotel arranged by the Spirit Hall.
Inside Xie Chong's room, all the students from the Blazing Fire Academy were present, including Feng Xiaotian. Everyone sat on the sofa in silence.
Xie Chong glanced at everyone and smiled, "What happened today is actually a good thing. Putting aside the long term, just looking at the present, at least everyone has broadened their horizons. A battle between Titled Douluo is a rare sight. Today, we witnessed Tang Hao fighting against seven Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall alone; we probably won't see this again in our lifetime."
"From this, everyone can also learn that even among Soul Master of the same level, one person can fight against multiple people, as long as they are strong enough. You are all the chosen ones of heaven, and as long as you work hard, you all have the hope of becoming Titled Douluo. If you are lucky, you may even obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. However, the most important thing right now is to win the competition, win the championship, and obtain those three Soul Bones. Soul Master who have absorbed Soul Bone can go higher and further."
The students from the Blazing Fire Academy nodded in agreement, their eyes shining brightly.
Huo Wu was the first to agree, saying, "Teacher Xie Chong is right. The most important thing right now is to win the championship and obtain the three Soul Bones."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Seeing the students looking energetic and full of fighting spirit, Xie Chong nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "Everyone, please be quiet. The Spirit Hall Academy is different from the Shrek Academy, so our tactical arrangements should also be adjusted. Huo Lei, you haven't said anything yet, do you already have a plan?"
As Xie Chong asked his question, everyone turned their attention to Huo Lei.
Huo Lei smiled slightly, stood up from the sofa, and looked at everyone. "I've already come up with the tactics, and now I'll share them with you."
"The Spirit Hall Academy should prioritize controlling the situation first, then unleash their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, as this move is incredibly effective. Therefore, the arrangement is as follows: I will deal with the female Soul King from the Spirit Hall Academy who possesses the fox Martial Soul. Feng Xiaotian, being wind-attribute, has excellent attack and speed; he will restrain the fire-attribute Soul King and try to buy time. Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu will handle the remaining Soul King. Huo Yun and Huo Yu, you two will flank the remaining four members of the Spirit Hall Academy from both sides, utilizing your third Soul Skill to harass them and buy time. Huo Jun, at the start of the match, you will immediately assist me, as I need to unleash my fifth Soul Skill to control the opponents."
"I believe that with your abilities, buying me three to four seconds shouldn't be a problem. As long as the plan succeeds, we can achieve victory in a short time."
Xie Chong nodded and said, "Huo Lei's plan is good, I agree. What do you all think?"
"I have no objection," Feng Xiaotian said, standing up first.
"No objections," everyone chimed in.
Xie Chong stood up and instructed, "Alright! It's settled then. Everyone go back and maintain your best condition for the final battle of the Soul Master Tournament tomorrow."
The next morning was sunny and breezy.
When the Blazing Fire Academy team arrived at the arena in the Papal Hall, they found that the arena, which had been dented by Tang Hao the day before, had been completely repaired and was almost indistinguishable from before. Huo Lei was somewhat moved, marveling at the efficiency of the Spirit Hall.
Today is the final battle of the Soul Master Tournament, but the number of spectators at the venue is not large, making it seem somewhat desolate.
Both the Blazing Fire Academy Team and the Spirit Hall Academy Team were present. The lineup was similar to yesterday's. On the Spirit Hall side, twelve Red-Clothed Cardinal led the way, with Bibi Dong leading the way out of the Papal Hall, followed by Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, and Chen Xin. The referee remained the same, still the same Red-Clothed Cardinal from yesterday.
Pope Bibi Dong looked radiant and smiled, her complexion unchanged from when she appeared yesterday; the events of yesterday had not altered her smile.
Bibi Dong, wielding her scepter, swept her gaze over the fourteen participants in the arena and said calmly, "I won't say anything more. Whether you become the champion of this year's Soul Master Tournament depends on your abilities. Prepare to begin."
