Instead of going to the competition venue to watch the game, Yu Tianheng and the others went to a nightclub in Spirit City to drink, and got completely drunk.
No one used their Soul Power to dispel the effects of the alcohol, because they needed to get drunk.
Although they, born into aristocratic families and wealthy clans, understood the essence of this matter, understanding was one thing, but comprehending it was another.
Just as Yu Tianheng and the others were completely drunk, a burly old man walked into the private room, looked at Yu Tianheng's appearance, and sighed with guilt.
" Tian Heng, Grandpa knows you feel wronged, but all of this is for the sake of the bigger picture. Your Thunder Shenron is powerful, but it has too demanding requirements for the environment."
If the final battle doesn't take place during a Raiu, you will have no advantage whatsoever.
This Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament is of paramount importance; we absolutely cannot afford to lose!
Indeed, the person who arrived was Yu Yuanzhen, the current sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and also Yu Tianheng's grandfather.
To be honest, he was quite helpless. His grandson's performance really surprised him, especially that Thunder Shenron move, which was a genuine Eleven-in-One Martial Spirit Fusion Skill.
Unfortunately, this move is too demanding in terms of environment, and without the support of the Thunder Power, it is inferior to the Shrek Team's.
However, they couldn't gamble everything on something as unpredictable as the weather, so they had no choice but to resort to underhanded tactics to force the Imperial Fighting Team to admit defeat.
After explaining, seeing Yu Tianheng still gulping down wine, Yu Yuanzhen sighed and turned to leave.
That's all he can do. As for whether Yu Tianheng can come to terms with it, that's up to him.
Just as Yu Yuanzhen was about to step out the door, Yu Tianheng's deep voice came from behind.
"Grandpa, I know all of this is for the sake of the family and sect. I have never blamed you, I am just a little unwilling!"
Yu Tianheng, having received family education, naturally understood that family interests came first, and that personal honor and disgrace had to yield to family interests.
Even though he understood, he was still very unwilling to accept it.
"It's good that you understand. Tomorrow, try to appease Dugu Yan. After all, she's your fiancée now."
Nodding with satisfaction, Yu Yuanzhen strode away, not forgetting to remind Yu Tianheng to handle the conflict with his girlfriend properly.
He was quite satisfied with his granddaughter-in-law, Dugu Yan. After all, although her father, Poison Douluo, was only of average individual combat strength, his group attack methods were quite amazing, which could complement their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan perfectly.
Not to mention that Dugu Yan and her granddaughter have now mastered Martial Soul Fusion Skill, their future is limitless.
Such a wonderful granddaughter-in-law should be firmly held onto.
Despite the unexpected incident, the match continued.
The third round of the competition arrived as scheduled, but an unexpected event occurred once again.
"Damn it, how could you do this? This is a foul! I demand that the New Botanical Team be disqualified from the competition!"
Looking at the so-called New Botanical Team, Flender was furious and immediately voiced his protest.
After the second round, Huo Wu and the others felt extremely exhausted, realizing that this was the limit their academy team could reach.
Fortunately, they were lucky and didn't face any strong teams in the first two rounds, otherwise they would have been eliminated long ago.
After realizing this, they decisively requested the Spirit Hall to merge the team, Huo Wu and the other girls joined the Botanical Academy Team.
Meanwhile, apart from Little Nine and Zijing, the other main members of the Botanical Academy Team chose to withdraw.
This means that the Shrek Team will likely face two super teams in quick succession: the Spirit Hall's Golden Team and this New Botanical Team. The pressure they will be under is immense.
"Tsk tsk... You Shrek students have the nerve to call it a foul? Your skin is thicker than a city wall corner."
Huo Wushuang from the Blazing Fire Team clicked his tongue and gave them a disdainful look without any attempt to hide it.
"Stop making a fool of yourself! You Shrek are the least qualified to say that!"
"Heh... So Shrek is allowed to set fires, but we're not allowed to light a lamp? Shrek's double standards are really something!"
Shui Yue'er and the others from the Skywater Team retorted. They had already chosen to pledge allegiance to the Spirit Hall and were now on the Spirit Hall's territory, so they were naturally not afraid of Shrek or those other forces.
Being publicly confronted by several younger people like this, even Flender, with his thick skin, felt a little embarrassed, and most importantly, he had no way to refute them.
After all, Shrek had indeed broken the rules the most times and the most seriously during this competition.
" Your His Holiness the Pope, isn't this action unfair? It's extremely unfair to the other academy teams!"
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi, representing the aristocratic families and sects, stood up and spoke. Although he understood that the matter was already settled and that the Spirit Hall could not change it no matter what he said, he still had to say something as a representative of the aristocratic families and sects.
"That's definitely unfair!"
Bibi Dong nodded in agreement, then calmly said, "In this way, you can integrate your team members, while the teams belonging to our Spirit Hall will remain unchanged."
Her meaning was very clear: the teams of your Great Emperor can do whatever they want, but the Spirit Hall will not make any changes.
This is not arrogance, but absolute self-confidence!
Bibi Dong's calm words silenced all the guests from the Great Emperor, and even Ning Fengzhi had nothing to say.
Unfortunately, although several members of the Plant Academy have pledged allegiance to the Spirit Hall, they haven't officially joined the Spirit Hall yet and are still temporarily under the purview of their Heaven Dou Empire.
They really couldn't say much about that.
Moreover, the Blazing Fire Team members used their own team's qualification as a bargaining chip, just to send Huo Wu and others into the New Botanical Team.
Most importantly, they set a precedent for replacing team members, specifically for Ning Qingfeng of Shrek, so they have no right to lecture others on this matter.
Faced with this enormous pit they had dug themselves, they had no choice but to close their eyes and jump in.
The average strength of the sixteen teams from the Spirit Hall was greater than that of the Great Emperor, so by the third round, the Great Emperor actually had very few teams left.
The Heaven Dou Empire was initially doing well; with Huo Wu and a few others providing assistance, coupled with luck, their numbers were quite considerable.
However, these teams suddenly united to form the New Botanical Team, leaving the Heaven Dou Empire with only the New Botanical Team and the Shrek Team.
Even the other teams are gone, where are we going to find replacements?
Furthermore, the eleven members of the Shrek Team are already the strongest, and their teamwork is excellent, so there is absolutely no need to replace them. Even if stronger players appear, they will not make any changes.
In comparison, the Star Luo Empire was much more pragmatic. After a brief discussion, the remaining three teams selected their strongest members to join the Star Luo Royal Team, which is the team of Dai Mubai's older brother, Dai Weisi.
By combining the strengths of three teams, the Star Luo Royal Team finally assembled a lineup of all Spirit Emperor.
However, compared to Shrek's all- Spirit Emperor lineup, the Star Luo Royal Team's members are generally older, approaching the 25-year-old age limit stipulated by the tournament.
However, their advanced age also provided them with a more solid foundation and rich combat experience.
In addition, since everyone had faced each other in the previous qualifiers and qualifying rounds, the new team members quickly completed the tactical integration process.
The battle draw officially began, and perhaps things were turning around for the better. Shrek's luck improved, as they drew a team from the Spirit Hall. Although the opponent was strong, they were still far inferior to top-tier teams like the Golden Team and the Botanical Team.
Little Nine's New Botanical Team was also lucky; their opponent was the New Star Luo Royal Team, which is Dai Weisi's team.
Similarly, Dai Weisi and the others also felt that they were lucky enough, after all, their opponents were also a newly formed team with complex Martial Soul. Even if the opponents had already worked together, it would be difficult for them to cultivate Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
As long as they don't clash with the opponent's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, their chances of winning will be much greater.
"I want that Mirror Soul Master!"
Once inside the battle arena, the usually taciturn Dieying suddenly spoke, her bright eyes fixed intently on the Soul Master in the Star Luo Royal Team whose Martial Soul was the Mirror of Reflection.
She had watched the previous two rounds of the competition and had naturally witnessed the skills of that Mirror Soul Master.
Its Martial Soul ability is very magical; it is a rare spatial ability that can create thousands of mirrors that can be scattered throughout the area, allowing people to travel back and forth between the various mirrors.
It's essentially a form of Spatial Teleportation.
He also happens to possess Gem Martial Spirit with spatial attributes, but he has never had much understanding of space, making it difficult to develop corresponding Soul Skill.
This time, she can study that Mirror Soul Master.
"This is going to be difficult!"
Scratching his head, Huang Yuan didn't have much hope of catching that Mirror Soul Master.
The opponent's Soul Skill was simply too underhanded; it could actually absorb itself into those divided mirrors, making it impossible to find it until all the divided mirrors were shattered.
It was precisely because of this unscrupulous Martial Soul that the Star Luo Royal Team was able to advance to the third round of the competition without having Group Martial Spirit Fusion Skill.
When fighting the Star Luo Royal Team, you must not spread out, otherwise the enemy will use the mirror's spatial teleportation ability to instantly concentrate their superior forces to target you.
However, even using the Martial Soul Fusion Skill is not very effective. This kind of Mirror Soul Master has too strong a survival ability. If they can't beat someone, they can retreat tactically.
The entire competition venue is so large that it's impossible to intercept them. Sometimes, they can even send the separated mirrors high into the air, making their tactics extremely flexible and unpredictable.
To put it bluntly, it's because the Star Luo Royal Team has too much mobility.
There's simply no way to fight against a Mirror Soul Master until their abilities can be restricted.
"I'll hold them off, you guys attack!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Dieying decisively unleashed her strongest killing move, instantly enhancing the Seven Asura Illusion Realm to rapidly expand outwards from her own center.
" Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
Tang San, activating his Purple Demon Eye, looked at the seven-colored gem that had merged into one in Dieying's hand, and his expression became very solemn.
That's right, Dieying hasn't been idle these past few months either. She has finally created a new Seven -Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill Technique based on the original Seven-in-One Fusion Skill.
Martial Soul Fusion Skill and Spirit Skill Fusion Skill are two completely different concepts. The latter is just a combination of skills, while the former is a divine skill that Martial Soul Fusion and elevates Martial Souls.
With the blessing of the Martial Soul Fusion, it is no longer appropriate to call the original Seven Asura Illusion Realm an illusion, because this illusion has now become real, a composite domain that can affect reality.
Furthermore, this domain was excessively large, directly covering the entire battleground, which was dozens of miles in diameter.
The seven Asura Devil Shadow then coalesced into form, and with a slight sway, they multiplied into seven again, resulting in forty-nine Asura Devil Shadow.
