The Final Showdown
For the three days leading up to the finals, no Spirit Hall contestants participated.
However, on the fourth day, it was finally the Spirit Hall's turn to compete. Everyone came to watch the Spirit Hall's match, wanting to see just how strong the Spirit Hall really was.
Especially for the Holy Academy, they were most eager to know the strength of the Spirit Hall, because it was related to whether they could ultimately win the championship.
However, to everyone's great surprise, the Spirit Hall won the match without a fight.
Their opponents chose to forfeit the match, not even stepping onto the ring.
This outcome is unacceptable to many people.
Because everyone knows that the Spirit Hall was behind all of this.
How could anyone forfeit the match? It was clearly something the Spirit Hall had arranged long ago.
However, no one could do anything about the Spirit Hall's arrangement of playing on their home turf.
After that, every match of the Spirit Hall ended in the same way, without any surprises.
Thus, the Spirit Hall advanced to the final round without a fight.
Meanwhile, the Holy Academy advanced to the finals with a winning streak.
Compared to the Spirit Hall, the Holy Academy's prestige immediately rose, even though everyone knew that the Spirit Hall's strength was definitely not weak. The reason for this arrangement was to prevent the public from knowing their strength.
But many people genuinely believe in the Holy Academy.
"I wonder which side, the Holy Academy or the Spirit Hall, is stronger."
"It should be the Holy Academy! I think this time, the Spirit Hall has shot itself in the foot; those three Soul Bones are going to be taken by the Holy Academy."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple! With the Spirit Hall's methods, how could they just stand by and watch someone else take what belongs to them? Besides, everyone can see that the Holy Academy and the Spirit Hall are at odds."
"Spirit Hall wouldn't dare go back on their word in front of so many people, would they? Even though the Holy Academy won, do they really dare to renege on their promise?"
"The prerequisite is that the Holy Academy must win; the Spirit Hall is not as simple as you think."
"Hmph! You lackey of the Spirit Hall!"
"You!..."
"Ladies and gentlemen! I hereby declare the finals of the All-Continent Elite Tournament Advanced Soul Master Academy open! Let us give a warm round of applause to the two participating teams as they take the stage!"
The host's voice interrupted the crowd's discussion and echoed throughout the entire Spirit City.
At this moment, even pedestrians walking on the street stopped and looked towards the huge arena in the center.
On the Holy Academy's side, Tang San companions walked onto the arena together.
The moment they appeared, a deafening roar erupted from the crowd, with almost everyone chanting their names.
No one doubted their strength, after all, Tang San was accompanied by Ning Rongrong from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects, and Dai Mubai, a prince from the Star Luo Empire.
With such a lineup, no one dares to underestimate them.
"Tang San, are you ready to die?!"
A chilling voice pierced through the shouts of the crowd and rang out clearly in the arena.
Following closely behind, the seven members of the Spirit Hall also stepped onto the arena. Leading them was Hu Liena, accompanied by Su Yang and another man. Clearly, it was that man who had spoken earlier.
"Three people? What's going on? There are only three people from the Spirit Hall side?"
"That's incredibly arrogant! How can three people possibly fight that?!"
The crowd erupted in uproar when the Spirit Hall only fielded three members.
Just when everyone thought that there were really only three people on the Spirit Hall side, the seven people on the Holy Academy side suddenly dispersed and formed a defensive formation.
At the same time, four attacks began from different directions, targeting Tang San and his group.
Meanwhile, Hu Liena and the man launched their attack, with Su Yang providing support.
The two sides immediately engaged in battle, with the Spirit Hall overwhelming Tang San.
It was only then that everyone realized that there weren't three people on the Spirit Hall's side, but rather that they had only seen three.
Everyone was very puzzled as to what methods the other four had used to appear in the scene so invisibly.
They were also impressed by Tang San and the others' reaction; if they had been even a fraction slower, it probably wouldn't have been as simple as just passive defense.
This opening made everyone hold their breath, because if things continued this way, the Holy Academy was clearly doomed to defeat.
However, as the Spirit Hall's attacks intensified, the Holy Academy not only withstood the onslaught but also began to counterattack.
Moreover, with Tang San and the others' counterattack, the two sides reached a stalemate.
The Spirit Hall changed its strategy and began to focus all its efforts on attacking Tang San alone.
However, Tang San was agile and, with his Blue Silver Grass, remained calm in the face of the five-person attack.
Meanwhile, the others from the Holy Academy also began attacking Su Yang.
This forced Hu Liena and the others to abandon their attack on Tang San, and the two sides entered a stalemate once again.
Just as everyone was speculating which side would break the deadlock, Hu Liena and the man from the Spirit Hall side actually unleashed Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
The Martial Soul Fusion Skill from the Spirit Hall completely disrupted the Holy Academy's formation, severely injuring three of them, with Ning Rongrong losing her ability to fight.
"Excellent! Your Highness, it looks like we're going to win!"
Yue Guan glanced at Bibi Dong happily and said with a smile.
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, but her brows were furrowed, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
On the field, the Spirit Hall's advantage grew stronger and stronger, and the situation became very bad for the Holy Academy.
Just when everyone was feeling sorry for the Holy Academy, no one expected that Tang San would unleash a power that no one had anticipated: Twin Martial Souls.
"Twin Martial Souls! He actually has Twin Martial Souls!"
"That's... the Clear Sky Hammer!"
"What?! The Clear Sky Hammer! You mean Tang San is one of the Clear Sky Hammer's men?!"
"How is that possible? Didn't the Clear Sky Sect go into seclusion? How could they possibly come out of seclusion?"
"Clear Sky Hammer! Clear Sky Sect!"
On the Spirit Hall side, Bibi Dong and the others were also taken aback. They had not expected that Tang San would actually be a member of the Clear Sky Sect.
"Blue Silver Grass, Blue Silver Emperor! I should have realized this long ago. The fact that he was able to cultivate a Trash Martial Soul to such a level was definitely not because he had a good teacher. I should have realized this long ago."
Bibi Dong frowned and muttered to herself. At this moment, she understood why Tang San was so outstanding.
To be honest, at this moment, Bibi Dong still felt a little regretful.
However, although she hadn't expected this situation to arise, it didn't have a significant impact on her.
With Tang San unleashing his Twin Martial Souls, the Holy Academy, which was originally destined to lose, miraculously erupted and completely crushed the Spirit Hall.
Tang San, in particular, single-handedly defeated all five members of the Spirit Hall, and Su Yang also lost his ability to fight.
As expected, Hu Liena and her companion were both defeated by Tang San.
In the end, the Holy Academy won the final match, which was both what everyone expected and what surprised them.
