A month flew by amidst excitement and Soul Fighting. The preliminary rounds of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament in the Heaven Dou Empire region came to a close. The Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena was packed with people, with 80,000 spectators crowding the stands.
Today's final match, a clash of titans, is Shrek Academy versus Godwind Academy. Although it's a "battle for honor," it has captured everyone's attention.
Godwind Academy has already secured second place, and Shrek is firmly in fifth place; wins and losses will no longer affect their rankings.
As the two captains shook hands, Feng Xiaotian suddenly grinned and said, " Tang San, do you dare to have a one-on-one duel with me?"
Tang San raised an eyebrow. With his competitive nature, he naturally couldn't afford to lose face in front of the entire audience, so he calmly agreed, "I'll play along to the end."
The entire audience erupted in commotion. In the VIP section, Ning Fengzhi, Salas, and even Xue Qinghe leaned forward slightly, revealing expressions of keen interest.
As the match began, Feng Xiaotian instantly released his Martial Soul, his azure Gale Wings unfurling behind him, and he shot into the sky like an arrow released from a bow.
Tang San launched the first attack. " Fourth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Cage!"
" The Blue Silver Cage again! Tang San, you've run out of tricks!" Feng Xiaotian laughed wildly, his body spinning madly in mid-air.
Tang San's lips curled slightly. " Blue Silver Thorn Array!"
' Blue Silver Thorn Array ' is a variant of his Fourth Soul Skill, with a faster activation speed, and is Tang San's last trump card with his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.
Faced with the countless Blue Silver spikes hurtling towards him, Feng Xiaotian knew he couldn't avoid them, so he unleashed his Fourth Soul Skill, ' Demon Wolf Storm,' which shattered the Blue Silver Grass.
The attack range of ' Demon Wolf Storm ' covered the entire arena, leaving Tang San with almost nowhere to escape. After blocking several attacks, Mysterious Jade Hand gradually reached its limit, and Tang San was now in dire straits.
"Am I really going to lose this time?" Tang San thought to himself, his eyes burning with resentment.
In an instant, the world changed color!
A giant, azure hammer appeared out of thin air in his left hand, its body Entanglement electric arcs, radiating an aura of dominance that could suppress heaven and earth, terrifying to the point of being suffocating!
It was Tang San's Second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, that broke through Feng Xiaotian's attack with a single strike.
" Clear Sky Hammer ----!" Exclamations of surprise rang out from the VIP seats and the audience.
Next came the true showdown, with Tang San using the Clear Sky Hammer to unleash the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer to counter Feng Xiaotian's Self-Created Soul Skill, " Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes."
Both Soul Skill attack by continuously stacking power, without any fancy moves, and are both head-on attacks with the strongest posture.
When the combined attack reached its maximum power of thirty-six strikes, Feng Xiaotian attacked Tang San with unstoppable momentum, and Tang San Feng Xiaotian him head-on with an equally imposing aura.
Finally, the two unleashed their strongest attacks, colliding violently in mid-air. The shockwave from the collision was so powerful that it was impossible for anyone to watch the match anymore.
After the collision ended, Tang San knelt on one knee, while Feng Xiaotian was sent flying backward. However, as he flew backward, Feng Xiaotian shattered his wings and launched the Gale Hunting Blade attack on Tang San.
Tang San, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, desperately tried to block it, using his last bit of strength to knock it away, but was injured by the rebounding hunting blade.
With both sides exhausted and unable to continue, Feng Xiaotian collapsed first, giving Tang San the final victory.
However, the appearance of the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul stunned Ning Fengzhi, Salas, Xue Qinghe, and others present, who were all shocked and puzzled by it.
What's shocking is Tang San's Twin Martial Souls talent; what's puzzling is why Tang San would reveal his Second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, for a trivial match?
Bishop Salas's pupils constricted as he stared intently at Tang San, a storm raging in his heart: Clear Sky Sect... Tang Hao... This boy must be eliminated!
Xue Qinghe's expression was complex, a mixture of shock, apprehension, and even a faint hint of admiration. She instinctively gripped the armrest, thinking to herself: If only I could win this person over...
With the conclusion of the competition, the month-long tournament has finally come to an end. Fifteen elite teams have emerged from hundreds of academies and will represent the Heaven Dou Empire in the final battle in Spirit City.
It must be said that the Soul Master Tournament is truly spectacular. The reason why the Soul Master Tournament is called the grandest "carnival" on the entire continent is not just because the Soul Skill battles are dazzling and explosive. The real highlight is the series of breathtaking "visual feasts" that follow one after another.
Thunder and flames intertwined, ice and snow danced with storms, lightning flashed and thunder roared a hundred meters in the air, and the arena floor cracked and collapsed, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
The film features close-quarters combat with punches landing with a visceral impact, speed-type Soul Master chasing each other through the air, and Defense System Soul Master bulging their muscles as they withstand Soul Skill —a blend of power and beauty.
The strategic maneuvering among the team leaders was truly astonishing.
Of course, what attracted the most attention was the charm of the group of handsome men and beautiful women. As soon as the female team members of the Blazing Fire Academy appeared, their fiery red short skirts fluttered in the wind, their waists as supple as a dancing flame. Every time they released Soul Skill, the sexy movements that accompanied it would instantly cause whistles to rise and fall in the stands.
The opening dance at the Skywater Academy is always the most eye-catching. The girls walk on the ice in high heels, their skirts unfolding like butterfly wings, and the ice crystals refract a rainbow of light under the lights, making the hearts of many male audience members race.
The boys from the Godwind Academy spun, swooped, and crisscrossed in mid-air, their clothes fluttering in the wind, each time they swept past the stands, they drew screams.
Although the burly men of the Elephant Armor Academy follow the "muscle tank" route, their rock-solid pectoral muscles and bronze skin still make many noble ladies blush.
Every time the "Thunder Kings" of the Thunder Academy unleashed their lightning, accompanied by their elegant movements, the audience gasped in astonishment.
The dazzling Soul Skill, the clash of bodies, the sparks of strategy, coupled with an absolute "visual feast," this is the Soul Master Tournament —a true "carnival feast."
Unfortunately, Tang Feng completely missed this grand event for the Soul Master World. If he had known this, he would have been extremely regretful.
There are no life-or-death struggles here, no one is put to death; it's like a sporting event where everyone relies entirely on their own abilities.
Except for a few academies, most people don't take the competition results too seriously, regarding it merely as a collective exchange and individual performance on their path of cultivation. Shrek Academy, however, carries the heaviest burden.
For the Shrek Academy, the first half of the month's schedule was relatively easy, with only one match against the Elephant Armor Academy, a strong team.
Elephant Armor Academy was naturally founded by the Elephant Armor Sect, and the seven participants on the opposing team were all direct descendants of the Elephant Armor Sect. Three of them had reached level 40, and the other four also had strength close to level 40, making them the new generation of elites of the Elephant Armor Sect.
The Elephant Armor Sect ranks sixth among the Seven Great Sects and is known as the strongest defensive sect. Its Martial Soul is called the Diamond Mammoth, a super martial Martial Soul with extremely high defensive capabilities, whose main characteristics are strength and defense. Almost no Soul Master Martial Soul the same level can break through the Diamond Mammoth's defense.
Facing the seven Giant Mammoth that resembled mobile fortresses, Shrek went all out, relying on Oscar's Flying Mushroom Sausage to send the entire team into the air to fight. Zhu Zhuqing's Third Soul Skill, " Netherworld Shadow Clone," continuously harassed and wore them down, and Oscar's Super Recovery Big Sausage were also used to finally wear down Elephant Armor Academy's defenses, resulting in a closely contested victory.
However, his good fortune didn't last long. In the subsequent competition, due to Tang San's reckless actions and impulsiveness, he "mishandled" the Canghui Academy too heavily, causing seven of them to fall unconscious on the spot and eventually become mentally impaired, causing a huge uproar.
To avoid being investigated by the tournament organizers, Shrek had to fake a serious injury and voluntarily withdraw from two crucial battles against the Thunder Academy and Oakland Academy.
As we enter the second half of the month, the number of matches against strong teams increases, and the real test begins.
When facing the two traditionally strong teams, Blazing Fire Academy and Skywater Academy, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass revealed a fatal weakness.
Without immunity to fire and ice, the Blue Silver Grass was burned to ashes by the Blazing Fire Academy's Lie Yan and shattered into pieces by the freezing ice of the Skywater Academy. The other team members were also unable to withstand Huo Wu's ' Ring Fusion ' skill and Shui Bing'er's Martial Soul Fusion Skill " Ice and Snow Drifting ".
After two crushing defeats, Shrek nearly fell out of the top five, and the morale of the entire team plummeted. Tang San was even nearly traumatized.
Tang San began to doubt the future prospects of his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. After Flender and Grandmaster Yu persuaded him to only regard Blue Silver Grass as a stepping stone for his Second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang San finally overcame his self-doubt.
