The next morning, the sunlight brought golden light to the Papal Palace, as the finals of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament were about to take place.
Jun Yi and his group arrived at the competition venue early, as did the members of the Martial Soul Team. However, for some reason, the stands for today's finals were much larger than usual, practically packed.
What's going on?
The extra people in the audience were of all ages, all dressed in extremely luxurious clothes and looking like wealthy people. Meanwhile, only Xiao Wu, Tang San, and Yu Xiaogang were present in the Shrek Academy's viewing area.
"What's going on? Why are there so many spectators at the finals?" Jun Yi asked, puzzled.
"Who told you to stay indoors cultivating all day and not come out to watch the competition? You don't even know about this little thing," Dugu Yan complained to Jun Yi. "A long time ago, the competition announced that outsiders would be allowed to watch the finals."
Moreover, the tickets for the finals were already released during the semi-finals, and the price was shockingly high, reportedly 50,000 Gold Soul Coin per ticket.
"After all, the finals are being held inside the Papal Palace, so it's not particularly expensive. All the people here are either rich or noble. They're all very wealthy." "I see. Sister Dong'er is quite good at making money." Jun Yi chuckled, then looked towards the direction of the Papal Palace's entrance.
When Dugu Yan heard the title " Sister Dong'er," she was still somewhat puzzled. She decided to ask Jun Yi about " Sister Dong'er " after the competition was completely over.
The doors of the Papal Palace slowly opened, and Pope Bibi Dong, still dressed in her finest attire from the previous day, appeared. The moment she did, the people in the audience...
One by one, everyone stood up and bowed to Pope Bibi Dong, expressing Pope respect. "Rise, I don't care for such mundane formalities," Pope Bibi Dong's calm voice echoed throughout the arena. The audience also took their seats, holding their breath as they awaited what was to come. Bibi Dong sat in her seat from yesterday, but today there were two more seats, making everyone very curious about who she was.
"Your His Holiness the Pope, we are late."
Then a flash of sword light appeared, and two figures came into view.
"Is that Sword Douluo and Sect Master Ning? They've come to watch the match too!" "It's definitely them." "I didn't expect to see two such important figures again today. Come to think of it, the tickets weren't expensive at all." Exclamations of surprise rang out from the audience, and at the same time, the two had already arrived beside Bibi Dong. " Your His Holiness the Pope, we apologize for keeping you waiting." Ning Fengzhi bowed slightly.
" Sect Master Ning has quite the airs. If you had arrived any later, this competition would probably have been over," Bibi Dong said sarcastically.
Ning Fengzhi simply smiled and sat down, as did Sword Douluo.
Then Sword Douluo felt a sharp gaze fixed on him. He slowly looked up and found that it was Jun Yi.
His gaze was as sharp as a cold star, Sword Douluo felt a chill run down his spine, unable to help but look at Jun Yi. Their eyes met, as if they were silently vying for dominance, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
"Everyone is here, so let's begin today's match," Bibi Dong announced calmly. All eyes were focused on the packed stands. Just then, a figure flew in from afar, nimble and agile, landing in the center of the arena.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the host and referee of this competition." The man's voice was transmitted throughout the venue through telepathy, drawing everyone's attention.
"Now, I announce the competition rules for the finals of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament."
As the host announced, the crowd fell silent, holding their breath and waiting for the competition to begin.
"The rules are very simple. This final will be a seven-on-seven team competition, and the one who stands on the stage will be the overall champion of this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament." As soon as the host finished speaking, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience.
"Alright, please have both teams enter the field."
As the host finished speaking, the members of the Martial Soul Team and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy walked to the center of the arena, heads held high, staring intently at each other. Their gazes met, and an invisible flame seemed to ignite in the air.
The battle was about to begin, and the audience was filled with excitement, watching the arena with bated breath. But in this tense moment, Jun Yi's gaze never left Sword Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi. He really wanted to kill Sword Chen Xin right now.
Both sides summoned their respective Martial Soul.
On the field, everyone summoned their Martial Soul and Soul Ring. Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan stood at the back of the team, looking at each other, neither of them seeming to have any intention of making a move.
Jun Yi calmly raised his finger, a whirlwind gathered in his palm, and then it seemed as if nothing had happened.
"The match has officially begun!"
The referee jumped out of the ring, and Xie Yue, with a solemn expression, gripped the center of the Moon Blade with both hands. With a movement of his body, he opened his hands and rammed his entire body backward toward Hu Liena.
At this moment, Hu Liena's five Soul Ring were flashing rhythmically, and she was radiating a strong red light.
In that instant, two golden beams shot out simultaneously from the scepter in the hand of the Auxiliary System Soul Master from the Spirit Hall Academy Team. The golden light shone brightly and quickly merged into Xie Yue and Hu Liena's bodies.
A red light curtain suddenly appeared and spread, enveloping Xie Yue and Hu Liena the instant their bodies collided.
At the same time, the red light burst forth instantly, spreading out like a sphere of light, covering nearly half the area of the arena.
"Is that the strongest Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the Martial Soul Team?"
Tang San, standing in the audience, frowned deeply. In yesterday's match, their Shrek Team hadn't even been forced to use this move, yet today, facing the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they had directly unleashed it. Was the difference in strength between the Shrek Academy and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy really that great?
Yu Feng and Osler were directly engulfed by the red light, and a person with long, flowing hair appeared before them, whose gender was indistinguishable.
Their hair had turned red, and the figure composed of Xie Yue and Hu Liena began to dance silently. Two Moon Blade, now twice their original size, shimmered with a rainbow-like light at the tips of their outstretched arms.
They didn't even have the strength to use their Soul Skill, and the figure directly charged towards them, wielding Moon Blade...
