You Should Admit Defeat

Just as the atmosphere became tense, Elder Ma, an instructor at the Sun Moon Royal Academy, stepped forward and said, "Alright, alright, let's do it Ji Juechen's way."

"This is also a good opportunity to test Xu Xingyu's strength. After all, Ji Juechen is the strongest fighter in our Sun Moon Team. Although that Soul Power sealing Soul Skill is very powerful, according to my observation, the condition for sealing his Soul Power is that he must be Entanglement chains."

"Although Ji Juechen isn't particularly fast, his Sword Intent is enough to deflect those chains and prevent him from being bound. Even if he doesn't ultimately win, he should still be able to deplete a significant amount of the opponent's Soul Power."

After listening to his mentor's analysis, Ma Rulong finally gave in and agreed to Ji Juechen's request.

To be honest, Ma Rulong really couldn't understand why Jing Hongchen, the head of the Mingde Hall, would let this guy be a member of the Soul Master Tournament.

He wouldn't deny that Ji Juechen's combat strength was absolutely the strongest among all the students at the Sun Moon Royal Academy (considering only opponents of the same rank).

However, he has a flaw: he is very unsociable and always acts according to his own standards. He will not follow any instructions unless the other party can gain his approval or is more capable than him.

If there's no one in this competition who can ignite his fighting spirit, he might not even bother to step onto the field.

The same thing happened in previous matches. During the semi-finals, they requested that Ji Juechen play, but the opposing team refused, citing that the students from the Di'ao Academy were too weak and lacked the will to fight.

The fact that someone is applying to be the first in the individual battle clearly shows that they are impressed by Xu Xingyu's fighting ability and think he is a strong opponent, which is why they want to fight him.

As for why Jing Hongchen let Ji Juechen take the stage, it was mainly due to the Sword of Judgment, an Level 8 Soul Tool with the power of Level 9 Soul Tool.

The Sword of Judgment is a Soul Tool produced by the Mingde Hall, and it is an extremely powerful Soul Tool. It possesses the ability to control both light and darkness, two conflicting attributes.

It also has a special ability: it can briefly transform the other party into one of the two attributes of light or darkness, and then use the opposite element to perform the judgment.

It truly lives up to its name as the Sword of Judgment.

In the original novel, Ma Rulong sacrificed his own life to use this sword to drive Ma Xiaotao into a corner, and even almost killed her.

If it weren't for Ma Rulong bestowing upon Ma Xiaotao the Darkness Attribute and then using the Light Attribute to judge her, causing Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire to be ignited by the Darkness Attribute, and finally the Evil Fire erupting and her Martial Soul Mutation into Dark Phoenix that completely went out of control and turned the tide, then the Sun Moon Team should have won in the original work.

However, by sheer chance, Ji Juechen was invited to be a tester for the Sword of Judgment. To Jing Hongchen's surprise, Ji Juechen, a Soul Emperor, was able to wield the Sword of Judgment almost perfectly.

Therefore, after making numerous agreements with Ji Juechen, Jing Hongchen not only made him the owner of the Sword of Judgment, but also demanded that he achieve a good result for the Sun Moon Royal Academy in this competition.

Ji Juechen readily agreed, not only because he enjoyed challenging strong opponents and the Soul Master Tournament featured the legendary Shrek Academy, but also because he personally adored the Sword of Judgment.

Deep down, he felt that this Sword of Judgment was his true destiny, the most suitable sword for him.

However, the Sun Moon Team was completely unaware of these matters and believed that the leader of the group had only taken a liking to Ji Juechen's personal strength.

To be honest, although this kind of thinking is very wrong, many team members are looking forward to Ji Juechen facing off against Xu Xingyu and getting crippled, so that they won't be bothered by this madman.

However, considering that this matter concerns the Soul Master Tournament of their Sun Moon Empire's glory, they can only keep these thoughts to themselves and hope that Ji Juechen can significantly deplete the Shrek Team's strength.

Therefore, after making some tactical adjustments with Ji Juechen as the starting player, the Sun Moon Team has made full preparations for the upcoming individual battles.

Hopefully, nothing unexpected will happen this time.

The individual competition is fast approaching, and both teams have already arrived.

At the exact moment the match ended, the referee, Heavenly Fiend Douluo, announced, "The individual matches of the Continent-wide Soul Master Tournament Finals are about to begin. Both teams, please take your positions!"

With the referee's oath, the first player from each team took to the field.

Sun Moon Royal Academy sent Ji Juechen, who had never competed in the Soul Master Tournament before, while Shrek Academy sent Ma Xiaotao.

The Sun Moon Team was somewhat surprised by Shrek's decision, but upon closer inspection, Ma Xiaotao Ma Xiaotao seemed to be a Soul Emperor- level powerhouse, given that she had released her Soul Ring in previous matches.

However, since Ma Xiaotao's only outstanding performance in the entire competition, besides having six Soul Ring, was her berserk state at the end of the Star Luo Empire match, the Sun Moon Team at most believed that the opponent was very strong, but not as threatening as Xu Xingyu.

However, the moment Ma Xiaotao stepped onto the stage, Ji Juechen suddenly spoke up, "You're strong, but you're not the opponent I want. Surrender. I want to fight Xu Xingyu."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao, who already had a bad temper, exploded and yelled, "What, do you look down on women?!"

!

?!?!?"

"It doesn't matter to me whether my opponent is a woman or a man. It's simply that I'm more interested in him; I can sense that he has something I want in him."

Most people were confused by Ji Juechen 'Ji Juechen words, but Xu Xingyu knew what he was thinking.

It was probably during the Star Luo Empire competition that he sensed the Sword Intent contained in the last move Ji Juechen used. For a master of Sword Intent like Ji Juechen, sparring with a strong person who can use Sword Intent is more attractive than any battle between people of the same level.

However, unaware of the reason behind this, Ma Xiaotao roared, "If you want to fight our Shrek Captain, you have to defeat me first!"

"So if I beat you, I can fight Xu Xingyu?"

"If you win, you can drink whatever you want and fight whoever you want!"

Because of her fiery temper, Ma Xiaotao unknowingly made a bet with Ji Juechen: if he won, Xu Xingyu would get to play in the next match.

However, according to Wang Yan's plan, Xu Xingyu was the last person to appear, and before the individual competition began, each team had to hand over the order of appearance of their members to the referee.

Therefore, if Xu Xingyu, who is at the back of the team, goes on the field, then the other team members in the middle will be considered to have conceded defeat.

All I can say is that Wang Yan and the others in the audience really wanted to drag Ma Xiaotao down, pry open her head, and see if she had a brain inside.
