"You can do it like that?!"
Yu Tianheng and the others stared wide-eyed, truly not expecting such a feat.
Although it seems absurd, it is indeed highly feasible.
"Wait, you forgot about Lingling. Never mind, I think you and Lingling should try a Martial Soul Fusion, since it's just the two of you left now."
Dugu Yan suddenly spoke, but her words made Ye Lingling blush deeply.
" Yanzi!"
Ye Lingling stretched out her fair hand and twisted Dugu Yan's waist. She was really angry at her sister.
"Ah?"
Oscar was completely dumbfounded, never expecting Dugu Yan to say such a thing.
Although he did not make any arrangements for Ye Lingling, it was mainly because Ye Lingling's Martial Soul was special, and no one in the Imperial Fighting Team had Martial Soul characteristic that could match hers.
He also had other plans for Ye Lingling's Martial Soul, which is why he left it blank.
"What do you mean 'ah'? It's settled then. If you and Lingling can't come up with Martial Soul Fusion Skill before the finals, I won't take you to Spirit City."
She glared fiercely at him, then turned her Dugu Yan and gave Ye Lingling a knowing look.
She wasn't blind, so she could naturally see that Ye Lingling had been keeping a close eye on Oscar in the Sunset Forest these past few days, and that look in her eyes was exactly the same as when she looked at Yu Tianheng.
As a woman herself, how could she not understand her sisters' thoughts?
Although Oscar doesn't have much time left to live, she happens to know a way to prolong Oscar life, and the key to this method lies with Ye Lingling.
Oscar's abilities have been clearly demonstrated in just over ten days, and his value is immeasurable, making him a worthy match for Ye Lingling.
It's believed that both the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and the Nine-Hearted Begonia Clan behind Ye Lingling would spare no effort to win over a prodigy like Oscar.
" Lingling, this is all I can do, so you'd better seize this opportunity!"
After silently offering her blessings, Dugu Yan grabbed her boyfriend's arm and walked out. The others also tactfully got up and left, leaving Oscar and Ye Lingling standing there awkwardly.
"How about we give it a try?"
After a long silence, Oscar suddenly spoke cautiously, an idea forming in his mind.
"Then... let's give it a try!"
With a blush rising on her fair face, Ye Lingling lowered her head and whispered her agreement.
For reasons unknown, all the major clans, sects, noble families, and even the royal families of the Great Emperor simultaneously announced that they would postpone the finals by a month, giving all the academy teams an extra month to prepare.
At the same time, the Great Emperor agreed to the Spirit Hall's proposal to modify the number of participating teams, indicating that all members could participate, that is, a complete lineup of eleven people.
In exchange, the Great Emperor secured an extra month of rest for their injured trainees during the previous qualifying rounds.
However, almost all factions understood that the key to the compromise lay with the Shrek Team, since the other side was the largest representative of noble families, wealthy clans, and powerful sects.
"This is troublesome!"
After reading the latest intelligence sent by the Crown Prince, Dugu Yan's expression turned solemn. She understood that the Shrek Team would definitely use this extra month to prepare an even stronger killing move.
Clearly, their repeated failures in the previous qualifying rounds spurred them on, making them realize that their prepared trump cards weren't enough, and they wanted to unleash an even more powerful one.
" Sister Yan, do you mean Shrek Academy is preparing even more Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
Osler Yu Feng and the others, whose minds were equally sharp, also understood, and their expressions became very solemn.
If that's the case, then the trouble will be enormous.
With a pout, Dugu Yan said unhappily, "Isn't that obvious!"
Now that it has been determined that the key to the Shrek Team's completion of the Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill is a Celestial Grade Medicine, then the four reserve team members who also consumed the Celestial Grade Medicine are also qualified to do so.
With the changes to the competition rules, do you think they might pull off an all-out Martial Soul Fusion Skill?
Based on what they said to Oscar, we can basically guess that the celestial medicine is the key to Shrek's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, just as their Imperial Fighting Team's Martial Soul Fusion Skill also uses the power of the celestial medicine as its core.
Previously, it was speculated that Shrek Team's ultimate trump card was the Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Now, with this unexpectedly gained month, they must be using it to develop even more Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
For example, adding those four substitute players.
Although it seems incredible, with a divine medicine of the highest quality, nothing is impossible.
They had already taken precious medicines, especially Dugu Yan Yu Tianheng, who had taken celestial-grade medicines. They knew very well how amazing the amplification of Martial Soul Fusion Skill was by such medicines.
"It doesn't matter. If Shrek can use this month to prepare an eleven-in-one Martial Soul Fusion Skill, so can we."
Compared to the solemnity of Dugu Yan and the others, Ye Lingling was much more relaxed, and the source of her confidence was the man beside her.
She will definitely be able to lead them to complete the unprecedented feat of the Eleven-in-One Martial Spirit Fusion Skill.
"How could it be an eleven-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
Oscar was surprised and said that he had already left the Shrek Team, so the Shrek Team should only have ten people left.
According to the competition rules, team members cannot be changed after registration during the competition. So where will the Shrek Team find someone to join?
"I don't know what price those people paid, but in any case, Great Emperor and the Spirit Hall agreed to allow teams that were not yet full to supplement their numbers with enough members from their own academies to participate in the finals."
According to the intelligence we've received, eight months ago, a young Soul Master named Baozi, from a branch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, transferred to the Shrek Academy.
Dugu Yan stopped there, but her meaning was clear, and Oscar's face suddenly turned pale.
Clearly, the bun-shaped Soul Master from a branch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School is the one to fill his vacant spot.
In other words, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had made the necessary preparations as early as eight months ago, or even longer, and the other party may have already planned to kick him out.
After all, he was born into a commoner class, how could he be as reliable as someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
Fortunately, Oscar had gone through a lot in the past few months, which tempered his mind and helped him quickly calm his turbulent emotions.
Taking a deep breath, Oscar's gaze swept over Dugu Yan and the others, a sharp glint suddenly appearing in his peach blossom eyes.
"Over the next month, I hope you will be mentally prepared to face death, because I will be developing a brutal training plan for you. Those who are afraid can withdraw now."
Their gazes swept across the crowd again, but no one chose to leave.
"Very good, dismissed. Take a day's rest. Training will officially begin tomorrow."
Oscar was quite satisfied with this, and was even more determined to win the championship.
He has no other desires now but to use the Imperial Fighting Team to showcase his abilities to the world and prove to everyone that his teacher had not misjudged him.
Even if one's Martial Soul is destroyed, one can still achieve brilliant success and leave a lasting mark on history.
As for Shrek, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Ning Rongrong, he didn't want to get involved. Perhaps you could say he was cowardly and wanted to escape, but for now, escaping was his only option.
After all, his days are numbered, and even if he achieves great success, it will only be a fleeting moment. There's no need to bother his former teammates, friends, or even lovers.
After all, he had genuinely loved Ning Rongrong, and he didn't want to ruin those beautiful memories.
While the Imperial Fighting Team was making preparations, the other academy teams that had qualified for the finals were also making intensive preparations.
Among them, the Shrek Team and the Botanical Academy Team are the most mysterious, and even outsiders cannot find out any information about them.
The opponent's defenses were far too tight. The Shrek Team directly summoned a large group of veterans from various forces, a full ten Titled Douluo- level experts, and chose Tang Hao's secluded cultivation location as the location.
No one dared to approach, while the Botanical Academy Team went directly into the Martial Spirit Temple of Heaven Dou City. With Demon Subduing Douluo and others stationed there, it was foolproof, and no one could find out any information about this place.
Amidst the undercurrents of tension, a month passed in the blink of an eye. After Xue Ye and others delivered some encouraging, official-sounding words, the sixteen teams, including the First Heaven Dou Team, set off.
Because of the great distance from Spirit City, everyone traveled in a fusion of a giant flying Soul Beast and Soul Tool airship.
Simply put, it's a giant airship made with Soul Tool, but because it lacks the necessary power, it's powered by flying Soul Beast instead.
Relatively speaking, the speed of this combination is quite considerable. According to the forecast, it will take a maximum of five days to reach Spirit City.
"Something's wrong, something's very wrong. Everyone be on alert. And Sister Zijing, go and call the dean and the others over here."
Suddenly, Little Nine, who was cultivating with her eyes closed, abruptly opened them and scanned her surroundings with a serious and alert expression.
Just now, that force of willpower warned him. This kind of warning had appeared several times before, and each time it meant that a major crisis was about to strike.
The intensity of this warning is unprecedented, and the ensuing crisis will undoubtedly be quite alarming.
It could even be life-threatening!
Zijing dared not delay and immediately crushed the Soul Tool given to her by Suosite. The next moment, the wall next to her was forcibly broken, and several figures rushed in. It was Suosite and his group.
"Girl, what's wrong?"
After setting up the battle formation, Suosite cautiously scanned his surroundings, and only frowned and looked at Zijing after finding no suspicious activity.
" Little Nine must have sensed an unknown, major crisis. Let's prepare."
Zijing gave a brief explanation, and the others became serious and prepared to deal with any unknown dangers that might come their way.
"Before leaving Heaven Dou City, I sensed the killing intent that Ning Fengzhi and the others were trying their best to conceal. At that time, I had a vague feeling that something was wrong, and that they might be about to make a move against us."
Little Nine's mind raced, and he finally focused on Ning Fengzhi and the others. This inexplicable danger must be related to Ning Fengzhi.
" Li Chengfeng, quickly check how far we are from the airship where Shrek is. If it's not far, force our flying Soul Beast to crash into it."
Seeing Little Nine's solemn expression, Suosite wisely refrained from questioning Little Nine about how she knew these things, and decisively ordered preparations to begin.
Since the crisis originates from the aristocratic families and wealthy clans represented by Ning Fengzhi, the solution is to quickly approach the Shrek Team and ideally, bind the two sides together.
At that time, those people will be hesitant to use their methods freely due to fear of harming others, and the pressure on our side will naturally be much less.
If pushed too far, he wouldn't hesitate to use the trump card that Bishop Salas had given them before his departure to achieve mutual destruction.
