The match began, and both players launched fierce attacks.
"Jingle bells!"
The sounds of weapons clashing echoed across the arena, the piercing clang of metal reverberating throughout the entire square.
Yang Pojun wielded the Soul Breaking Spear, its thrusts as swift as a dragon, each strike carrying an unstoppable, sharp momentum, the spear tip whistling as it sliced through the air.
Sun Chuantao wielded his circular halo with wide, sweeping movements, demonstrating both offensive and defensive prowess.
Guns flashed and blades gleamed on the arena, each collision sending sparks flying.
However, Yang Pojun's Soul Breaking Spear was clearly dominating Sun Chuantao.
The reason it's called a single attribute is that all development directions are pushed in one direction.
The Breaking Clan focuses on attack power, the Speed Clan focuses on speed, the Defense Clan focuses on defense, and the Strength Clan focuses on strength.
Yang Pojun's four Soul Skill are all extremely powerful attack skills.
The first Soul Skill Penetration, the second Soul Skill Armor Break, the third Soul Skill Life Pursuit, and the fourth Soul Skill Piercing Cloud.
Every move aims for ultimate penetration and lethality, concentrating all Soul Power at the tip of the spear to break through the surface with a single point, making it indestructible.
Although Sun Chuantao's Circular Ring Great Blade is also Power Attack System, its Martial Soul's inherent characteristics lean towards area-of-effect impact and shield-breaking cutting, making its single-point penetration power far inferior to the Soul Breaking Spear.
Every time their weapons clashed, Sun Chuantao could feel an extremely sharp force traveling from the hilt of his sword into his arms, making his hands go numb and his blood surge.
After thirty moves, Sun Chuantao's rhythm was completely disrupted.
But Yang Pojun's spear thrusts became faster and more ferocious.
Everyone in the stands was stunned by this intense back-and-forth battle.
Sun Chuantao gritted his teeth and roared, activating his fourth Soul Skill, " Great Blade Strangulation," enlarging the Circular Ring Great Blade and twisting it at high speed, capable of bursting damage against a single target.
The Circular Ring Great Blade suddenly expanded to three feet wide, spinning wildly in mid-air, accompanied by a piercing shriek, like a silver meat grinder, pressing down on Yang Pojun.
Yang Pojun's fourth Soul Ring also lit up.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Soul-Piercing Cloud-Piercing Thrust!"
The Soul Breaking Spear transformed into a spear beam with extremely strong Penetration power, its tip accompanied by a sharp whistling sound as it pierced directly into the Circular Ring Great Blade.
The spear's edge and the blade collided violently in the center of the arena, producing a deafening roar.
The blade energy was cleaved in two by the spear's edge, shattering and scattering to both sides.
The spear's edge was unstoppable, piercing straight into Sun Chuantao's shoulder.
"Pfft!"
Blood splattered as the spear tip pierced Sun Chuantao's right shoulder, protruding from behind.
Sun Chuantao screamed as the force of the spear's edge sent him staggering back several steps before crashing heavily onto the edge of the ring.
The referee quickly stepped forward and examined Sun Chuantao's injury.
He was shot Penetration the shoulder, and the injury was serious, but not life-threatening. It may just affect his team battles this afternoon and tomorrow.
From the Spirit Hall's camp, a Healing Soul Master immediately stepped forward and used a healing Soul Skill to heal Sun Chuantao.
A milky white light enveloped Sun Chuantao's shoulder, and the bleeding quickly stopped, but his arm would be immobile for the time being.
The referee then raised his right hand. "In the fourth individual match, Yang Pojun Star Luo Royal Academy wins!"
Yang Pojun sheathed his Soul Breaking Spear, the bloodstains on its tip dripping onto the arena.
His expression was calm, and his breathing was even. Although fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, he clearly still had the strength to fight again.
The referee's voice rang out again. "Please send out your next member Spirit Hall Academy Team."
At this moment, only Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan remain as members of the Spirit Hall Team.
Four team members were eliminated in succession. Of the four, one drew, two sustained minor injuries, and one sustained a serious injury.
The opposing team has only sent three members so far. Although Yang Pojun has consumed a lot of his Soul Power, he clearly still has the strength to fight again.
To everyone's surprise, apart from Dai Mubai, everyone on the opposing team possessed the ability to fight opponents of higher levels.
Although the Spirit Hall Team still has three Soul King, the opponent's four strongest members have not yet entered the arena.
The chances of winning the individual competition are almost gone. If they continue, and another one of the three members of the Golden Generation gets injured, it will also affect their future team battles.
The Red-robed Cardinal leader of the Spirit Hall Team looked up at Bibi Dong, as if asking for her opinion.
Bibi Dong sat on the high platform, her expression indifferent, and simply nodded slightly.
The Red-robed Cardinal, having received instructions, raised his hand and announced, " The Spirit Hall Academy Team forfeits the individual competition and voluntarily enters the loser's bracket this afternoon."
The words had barely left his mouth when the arena erupted in uproar.
Is the Spirit Hall scared? Who would have thought that the Spirit Hall Team, which had been touted as invincible before the match, would actually concede defeat!
Of course, no one dared to say these words aloud. This was in the Papal Palace Square, and no one could afford to offend the Spirit Hall.
Dai Mubai in the waiting area, was also helpless.
Before I even got to the stage, the Spirit Hall was already scared. I should have told Dai Lingling and Yang Pojun to hold back.
The referee was slightly taken aback, then announced, " The Spirit Hall Academy Team forfeits Star Luo Royal Academy Second Team advances to tomorrow's championship match."
On the arena, Yang Pojun put away his Martial Soul, walked to the waiting area, and high-fived his teammates in celebration.
Niu Zhen was the first to rush forward and pick Yang Pojun up in his arms. " Pojun, well done! You've scared the other side half to death!"
Bibi Dong, who was sitting on the high platform, stood up and walked into the Papal Palace without expression. The twelve Red-robed Cardinal also withdrew one after another.
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chen Xin nodded slightly to Dai Mubai, then turned and left.
On the VIP platform, Xue Qinghe's expression inexplicably became more solemn, his fingers clenching slightly. Tomorrow, I will make you experience the true strength of the Spirit Hall!
In the spectator area, the members of Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team also had solemn expressions, clearly shocked by the strength of Star Luo Royal Academy Second Team.
Tang San, in particular, looked at Dai Mubai with eyes that seemed to be Way to Death, and his killing intent intensified.
The crowd silently rose and walked out of the square.
Xue Qinghe and the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team returned to their hotel.
Qin Ming walked at the front, his face solemn, and went straight upstairs. The team members dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest and prepare for the loser's bracket battle in the afternoon.
Tang San first went to see his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, Xue Qinghe naturally followed.
After returning to the hotel, Yu Xiaogang received some basic treatment from Flender and is still in a coma.
However, his other leg was broken into multiple pieces, with bone fragments displaced under the skin and flesh, making the situation more serious than expected.
Flender had already tried to find Healing Soul Master, but the Healing Soul Master in Spirit City, upon hearing that Yu Xiaogang had offended the Pope and caused trouble in the competition, refused to treat him.
Tang San had no choice but to ask Ye Lingling to use her Soul Skill to treat Yu Xiaogang again.
However, Ye Lingling had to participate in a team battle in the afternoon and couldn't afford to expend too much energy, so she only used one Soul Skill to heal his broken bones first.
Yu Xiaogang has finally managed to save one leg, but given his temperament, it's uncertain how long he can keep it.
One has to admire the Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master; it's practically impossible to die without him.
After treatment, Yu Xiaogang slowly regained consciousness and opened her eyes.
Seeing Tang San by the bedside, Yu Xiaogang weakly asked, " Xiao San... how did the competition go?"
Tang San told him the truth.
