Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuyun next to Dai Weisi with suspicion. Unlike Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuyun clearly showed a nervous and confused expression. Presumably, Zhu Zhuyun did not know the reason behind it either.
Dai Mubai collected his thoughts and thought to himself: If Dai Weisi doesn't know what's good for him and does something that harms the interests of the Star Luo Empire, then don't blame me for being ruthless.
He replied dismissively, " Dai Weisi, I advise you to behave yourself. I don't even consider you my opponent, because you're not worthy. If you know what's good for you, admit defeat now, and perhaps I'll spare you for the sake of the Empress Dowager."
"Hmph, Dai Mubai, the outcome is still uncertain. Let's see how long you can remain arrogant." Dai Weisi sneered.
The referee announced the start of the match.
Dai Weisi released his Martial Soul, the Evil Eyes White Tiger Possession, and four Soul Ring— yellow, yellow, purple, and purple—rose, unleashing his full level 49 Soul Power.
Zhu Zhuyun was simultaneously possessed by the Hell Spirit Cat, and her level 47 Soul Power resonated with Dai Weisi.
The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously activated their Soul Power, and the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger, was instantly formed.
A gigantic White Tiger phantom appeared on the arena, its entire body pure white with crimson-gold eyes, radiating an oppressive aura approaching that of Soul Emperor.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing both released their Martial Soul, their fingers interlocked, and two streams of Soul Power surged out simultaneously.
A blinding platinum light and a deep black glow shot into the sky, converging and merging above the two people's heads.
A giant White Tiger with wings on its back suddenly materialized in the light, its body exceeding ten meters in length. Its white and gold fur shimmered with the unique metallic luster and murderous aura of Gengjin. As it spread its wings, the entire arena was enveloped by that terrifying pressure.
A series of gasps erupted from the stands.
"That's also Hell White Tiger? How come it's completely different from Dai Weisi's?"
" The Hell White Tiger has grown wings!?"
"That aura was more than twice as strong as Dai Weisi's!"
Even without using the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Dai Mubai was fully confident that he could defeat Dai Weisi.
The reason why the Hell White Tiger is still used is simply because it is a tradition of the Star Luo Empire.
The battle begins.
There was no further probing between the two sides, and Dai Mubai did not ask for any boosts from Ning Rongrong and Oscar.
The two Hell White Tiger clashed head-on on the arena. Dai Weisi's Hell White Tiger was like a cub encountering a fully grown beast in front of the platinum giant tiger. In their first exchange, Davis was sent flying more than ten meters away.
Dai Weisi desperately channeled his Soul Power, and Zhu Zhuyun fully cooperated. With the amplification of the two Highest Virtue Is Like Water Auxiliary Soul Master, and the tacit cooperation of teammate Li Yang's Mirror of Reflection, Dai Weisi's Hell White Tiger possessed combat power exceeding that of Soul Emperor.
However, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's Hell White Tiger possesses combat power comparable to Soul Douluo.
It is quite obvious that Dai Weisi's Hell White Tiger is no match for Dai Mubai.
Faced with overwhelming power, they were repeatedly Dai Mubai.
Dai Weisi's attacks were like a tickle to Dai Mubai.
After only a few rounds, Dai Weisi's Hell White Tiger crashed heavily to the edge of the ring.
Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun separated from the fusion technique. Dai Weisi knelt on one knee, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his face deathly pale.
Zhu Zhuyun collapsed beside him, her eyes filled with desolation; the sense of powerlessness she felt was utterly hopeless.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing dispelled their fusion technique and landed together. Compared to their opponents, the two appeared to be very relaxed.
They used less than 30% of their strength to determine the winner.
Following that, Ma Hongjun and Yang Pojun, who received buffs from Ning Rongrong and Oscar, eliminated all the other team members on the opposing team.
Dai Weisi slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Dai Mubai.
He nodded slightly to Dai Mubai, calmly said "Congratulations," and then turned and walked off the stage.
Dai Mubai watched his retreating figure, a certainty flashing in his eyes. Dai Weisi definitely had a problem.
Zhu Zhuyun hesitated for a moment, glanced back at Zhu Zhuqing with a complicated look, then turned and quickly left the arena.
In the fourth match, Skywater Academy Team faced off against the Fire Leopard Academy team.
The Lie Yan Leopard Martial Soul of the Fire Leopard Academy is known for its speed and explosive power, and the two teams are very evenly matched.
The match lasted for nearly two incense sticks' time. Skywater Academy, relying on the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu, Ice and Ice and Snow Drifting, finally managed to defeat Fire Leopard Academy with great difficulty.
Shui Bing'er was completely exhausted, her Soul Power depleted, and she could only stand up with the help of Shui Yue'er.
She smiled slightly at Dai Mubai in the stands, a smile carrying a sense of satisfaction.
Leading the team to the Top Six has far exceeded their previous expectations.
With this, the third round of the competition has concluded.
Of the ten teams, only six remain.
They are: Spirit Hall Academy Team, Star Luo Royal Academy Second Team, Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team, Godwind Academy Team, Skywater Academy Team, and Wind Sword Academy Team.
After a day of rest, the final round of elimination matches will take place.
No teams received a bye in this round; the six teams will compete to determine the final three.
The final round of the knockout stage began quickly, just one day later.
In the first match, the Heaven Dou Royal Second Team faced off against the Wind Sword Academy Team.
Wind Sword Academy ranked second in the Star Luo Empire's qualifying tournament. Although its strength was not among the top Top Six, it still had its own trump cards.
The Wind Sword Academy's true trump card is a combined attack formation practiced by all its members: the Wind Sword Formation.
The seven team members used the Wind Sword as the core, connecting their Soul Power to form an impenetrable sword formation that was both offensive and defensive.
After the match began, the Martial Soul of the seven members of the Wind Sword Academy were released simultaneously. The cyan Wind Sword swirled and intertwined in the formation, turning into a cyan storm that enveloped the entire arena.
As soon as the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team rushed into the formation, they were cut down by the omnipresent Wind Sword, making it impossible for them to move an inch.
Finally, Xiao Wu unleashed her Invincible Golden Body to break into the sword formation, disrupting the opponent's formation.
As the Wind Sword Academy's formation crumbled, Tang San immediately seized the opportunity. He unleashed a combined attack with Clear Sky Hammer Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, tearing a gap in the Wind Sword Formation.
Taking advantage of the situation, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team broke through the Wind Sword Academy one by one and finally defeated their opponents with great difficulty.
The Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team has advanced.
Sitting in the stands, Yu Xiaogang became even more arrogant, looking at everyone with a hint of disdain.
He felt bewildered whenever someone passed by him.
In the second match, the Spirit Hall Academy Team faced off against the Skywater Academy Team.
Shui Bing'er's expression was solemn as she led the Skywater Academy team onto the arena.
Shui Bing'er knew that the Spirit Hall Team was far stronger than her, and her only chance of winning was her and Xue Wu's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Ice and Snow Drifting.
As long as the Martial Soul Fusion Skill can be fully executed, Skywater Academy will have a slim chance of victory.
But the Spirit Hall Team didn't give her that chance at all.
The moment the match began, Hu Liena launched Spiritual Attack. Purple light swirled in her fox eyes, and an invisible mental wave precisely enveloped Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu.
Shui Bing'er felt a moment of dizziness, as if the world before her eyes was veiled by a thin gauze, her movements slowed down, and her reactions became much more sluggish.
Taking advantage of the opportunity Xie Yue transformed into a silver afterimage and rushed straight towards Shui Bing'er.
