Battle Against the Shenfeng Team!

A pair of enormous azure wings unfurled from Feng Xiaotian's back, slowly lifting him into the air.

At the same time, an azure Gale Two-Headed Demon Wolf took shape behind him.

Huo Wushuang and two other power attack system Soul Masters stood at the very front of the team.

Behind them, the two remaining support Soul Masters unleashed their Soul Skills, pouring immense Soul Power into Huo Wu.

Huo Wu's four Soul Rings rose around her. Her expression twisted in pain as she bore the tremendous pressure.

The searing flames in her hand condensed into a ball of white light in her palm. Then she raised her hand, aimed at Feng Xiaotian in the sky, and fired it toward him.

Looking at Feng Xiaotian overhead, Dai Chengqian quipped:

"So you're using the Two-Person Fusion Skill meant for Tang San on me instead. Tang San, you owe me a fee for fighting your battle."

Dai Chengqian patted Zhu Zhuyun beside him and said:

"Don't be afraid. This is just an enhanced Two-Person Fusion Skill. Let's show them what a real Martial Soul Fusion Skill looks like."

Dai Chengqian activated Martial Soul Possession. Purple light erupted from his entire body as he merged with the shadowy black phantom of a Hell Spirit Cat beside him.

The two intertwined and merged, their Martial Souls fusing into a massive beast suffused with purple light.

This was no ordinary Hell White Tiger. This was a Hell White Tiger empowered by Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.

High in the sky, Feng Xiaotian received the power Huo Wu had sent him, and his entire body brimmed with strength.

The raging energy gradually formed a strange suit of incandescent white armor around him, then spread over the gale wings on his back.

This was the Two-Person Fusion Skill Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian had developed. Though inferior to a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, it combined not merely the two of them, but also the two support Soul Masters behind Huo Wu.

The strength of all four people was concentrated in Feng Xiaotian.

Feng Xiaotian opened his eyes. His speed abruptly surged as he charged toward Ye Lingling at the very rear.

Despite his greatly increased strength, Feng Xiaotian did not grow arrogant. His first target was still the support Soul Master on Dai Chengqian's team.

There was no way Dai Chengqian would let Feng Xiaotian succeed.

Under his control, purple arcs flashed beneath the Hell White Tiger's feet. The White Tiger burst forward at an unbelievable speed, appearing in front of Ye Lingling and punching toward Feng Xiaotian as he swooped down.

Bang!

Feng Xiaotian was sent flying by a single punch.

Seizing the momentum, the Hell White Tiger leaped dozens of meters into the air and planted a foot on Feng Xiaotian's back. Its claws seized his wings and wrenched viciously, tearing half his wings clean off his body in a shower of blood.

The Hell White Tiger immediately followed with a kick, sending Feng Xiaotian flying off the arena, unconscious.

Its gaze turned toward the rest of the Divine Wind Team in the arena.

By then, Zhu Zhuqing and Asuya had already dealt with their two support Soul Masters.

The remaining members huddled together, struggling desperately to hold on.

Dai Chengqian commanded the Hell White Tiger to leap up and smash down on them from above. The tremendous impact scattered them across the ground.

Looking at Huo Wu sprawled on the ground, Dai Chengqian said flatly:

"You've lost."

Huo Wu stared blankly at the Hell White Tiger before her, its terrifying aura rolling off it, and gave a bitter smile.

"A Two-Person Fusion Skill really is no match for a true Martial Soul Fusion Skill. I've lost.

"Good luck in the matches ahead.

"I hope you can defeat Tang San, defeat Spirit Hall, and claim the championship."

With that, Huo Wu rose, helped her teammates up, and left the arena.

Microphone in hand, the announcer excitedly declared the final result.

"What an incredible match!

"I declare the Black Rose Team from the Star Luo Empire the winners of the final match of the fourth round!

"They will face the Spirit Hall Team and the Shrek Team in the fifth round to decide the ultimate champions of this year's Elite Tournament!"

As his words rang out, the spectators below erupted in cheers.

In the academy spectator section.

"Haha, I told you they'd win!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed excitedly.

Seeing Ning Rongrong's reaction, Oscar silently clenched his fists.

Dai Mubai watched Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing in the arena, bloodshot streaks appearing in his eyes.

He was furious. The Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger, was an ability he could use too.

Yet now, he had no one who could perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with him.

Dai Chengqian... this is all your fault!

Just you wait until the fifth round. I won't hand the Star Luo throne over to you so easily!

"Damn it, that bastard really wasn't using his full strength when he fought us.

"I guarantee he still has some tricks hidden up his sleeve. What a scheming bastard," Shui Bing'er said through gritted teeth.

Shui Yue'er covered her mouth and giggled at her sister's expression, then teased:

"Sis, why are you suddenly paying so much attention to him? Everyone can see Dai Chengqian hasn't been using his full strength.

"Take his fourth Soul Skill, for instance. He hasn't used it once since the tournament began.

"I heard everyone's been guessing what type of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill his fourth Soul Ring gives him."

Shui Bing'er pressed down on Shui Yue'er's head and said:

"Who's paying attention to him? Shui Yue'er, stop talking nonsense."

"Haha, Sis, don't push down on me! You'll stunt my growth!"

Shui Yue'er pulled Shui Bing'er's hand away, planted her hands on her hips, and said:

"Sis, you're the one who said you weren't interested in him. If I ask Dai Chengqian out later, you'd better not secretly pine over it."

"You little brat! You're asking for a beating."

Shui Bing'er pounced on Shui Yue'er and began pinching her sides. Shui Yue'er fought back, and the two girls started tussling.

After the fourth round ended, they rested for a day. Then the fifth and final round officially began.

Early that morning, the three teams that had reached the finals arrived at the plaza outside the Papal Palace.

The three teams had twenty-one members in total.

Of everyone present, the members of Shrek Academy kept a low profile, standing in a straight line and quietly waiting for the matches to begin.

The members of the Spirit Hall Team appeared utterly composed. They were in Spirit Hall, after all, on their own home ground. As they gazed at the statue of the Pontiff, their eyes shone with confidence and devotion.

The atmosphere around Dai Chengqian was much more relaxed. Standing among his six female teammates, he was discussing which female Soul Master present was the prettiest. Giggles rose from the team every so often.

After they had waited for a while, a procession emerged from behind the Papal Palace and lined up on either side.

Dressed in red, they were the twelve cardinals of the Papal Palace.

One of them looked down and slowly announced, "His Holiness the Pope has arrived!"

The spectators below began shouting "Long live the Pope!" in a roar like crashing waves and thundering mountains.

The great doors opened. Dressed in a long golden gown, holding a golden scepter and wearing a crown, Bibi Dong slowly emerged from the Papal Palace behind them.

This was Dai Chengqian's first time seeing Bibi Dong.

Although he knew she was a madwoman, her breathtaking beauty still stunned him.

What an exquisite mature beauty. What do I do if I'm starting to want to be a scoundrel like Cao Cao?

Despite that thought, Dai Chengqian did not yet have the nerve to pursue Bibi Dong.

With her current strength, she could casually jab him with the scepter in her hand and kill him.

Bibi Dong walked to the center of the plaza. Her gaze went straight to Dai Chengqian, scrutinizing him.

"Are you Dai Chengqian, the Sixth Prince of the Star Luo Empire?"
