Chapter 102 Final
The team battle against Xingluo National Academy has ended, and the second match was supposed to take place today after one night.
This was an individual competition, but before the match began, Xingluo National Academy voluntarily conceded defeat, allowing Shrek Academy to advance to the finals with a score of 2-0.
It seems that Xu Jiujiu wants to see how far Dai Youheng can go and whether he will be defeated by the Sun Moon Empire.
With Xingluo National Academy conceding defeat, the Shrek Academy members now have time to observe the other semi-final match.
Imperial Academy versus Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
Xiao Xiao, who had returned from watching yesterday's team battle, reported the situation: the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy won with an overwhelming advantage. This was not unexpected, as the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, skilled in using soul tools, has always had a huge advantage in team battles.
In today's individual battle, Imperial Academy aims to turn the tide with the strength of the genius Soul Emperor Jiang Peng.
"Drink it!!!"
On the battle arena, accompanied by Jiang Peng's roar, the Heaven-Shaking Axe swept across, unleashing a powerful and unrestrained slash.
Jiang Peng's opponent was named Mika, a Soul Master who was skilled in using Soul Guidance Propulsion Devices for guerrilla warfare.
But before the Heaven-Shaking Axe, the light emitted by the soul-guided thruster was split in two, and the Heaven-Shaking Axe slammed into Mika's back. The next instant, a muffled explosion rang out, blasting Mika forward.
This is the Shock Explosion, a destructive skill inherent to the Heaven-Shaking Axe Martial Soul. Its power is considerable, and coupled with the weight of the Heaven-Shaking Axe, this strike is quite significant.
Mika's armor was dented inward by the blow, and he himself collapsed to the ground, barely alive.
His current condition will definitely affect his performance in the finals.
Jiang Peng unintentionally helped Shrek Academy.
With six spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—surrounding Jiang Peng, his strength was undeniable; this was already the third Sun Moon team member he had defeated.
"This Jiang Peng is really looking for trouble. Can't he see that Di'ao Academy has no chance of winning? He's still fighting like a madman and using such heavy blows, weakening our combat power for nothing. What's the point except letting Shrek Academy reap the benefits?" Meng Hongchen said angrily.
Look how sensible Xingluo National Academy is; they know they can't win, so they don't fight.
"This is the style of the Heavenly Soul Empire. They only believe in their own power, underestimate soul tools, and are domineering," Old Ma commented. "Hmph, this kind of power is not worth worrying about. In the future, they will definitely pay the price for their stupidity. Among the original three great powers of Douluo Continent, the easiest to scheme against are those fools."
"Old Ma, I'll take care of him. If we let him keep fighting like this, it will only cause trouble for us when we face Shrek Academy later," Ma Rulong said, stepping forward.
He was also a six-ring Soul Emperor, a sixth-order Soul Master, and had even successfully created a seventh-order Soul Tool. He had absolute confidence in defeating Jiang Peng.
Old Ma nodded. "Alright, go ahead!"
Ma Rulong finally took the stage. He is the captain of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and the only level six Soul Master.
Facing the genius Soul Emperor Jiang Peng, he used a defensive soul tool to block Jiang Peng's self-created soul skill, the Eighteen Dragon Slaying Slashes, and then used a self-made flame soul tool to defeat Jiang Peng in one fell swoop.
This scene filled Zhou Yi with apprehension. Even if Ma Xiaotao wanted to win, it wouldn't be easy for her to defeat Ma Rulong.
She needs to rearrange her tactics, and even wants to give up team battles and directly reverse the situation and win in individual battles and 2-2-3 battles.
Final day.
Early in the morning, Xingluo Square was already bustling with activity, a dense crowd of people, and an incredibly lively atmosphere.
To secure a prime spot to watch the final, countless enthusiastic crowds even queued overnight, a day in advance.
The finals of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament are a top-tier spectacle that no soul master enthusiast should miss.
Today, all the matches—team battles, individual elimination rounds, and the final 2-2-3 battle—will be completed in a single day. The high-intensity competition, the ever-changing battle situation, and the dazzling soul skills and soul tools will surely make the trip worthwhile for all spectators.
The final match pitted two teams against each other: on one side, the undefeated legend, Shrek Academy, the holy land of soul masters on the continent; and on the other, the pinnacle of soul tool technology, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, which had been lying low for thousands of years, yearning for revenge.
This is not only a confrontation between two academies, but also a head-on collision between the traditional Soul Master system and the emerging power of Soul Tools.
As the teams from both sides stepped into the final arena, which was shrouded in a massive soul-guided shield, the invisible pressure seemed to materialize. On Shrek's side, led by Ma Xiaotao and Dai Youheng, the team members tried their best to remain calm, but the reserve team members, who were stepping onto the final stage for the first time, couldn't help but show some nervousness and excitement on their faces, feeling the burning gazes of thousands of people in the stands.
However, they weren't the only ones who were nervous. The members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had even more solemn expressions.
For thousands of years, they had never defeated Shrek Academy in a formal competition. The long-suppressed humiliation and longing turned into a heavy burden on everyone's heart.
Even the usually arrogant and conceited Xiao Hongchen restrained his usual frivolousness at this moment. His facial features tightened, and his eyes burned with an almost insane fighting spirit. He stared intently at the Shrek Academy members opposite him, especially Dai Youheng, who made him feel inexplicably oppressed.
In contrast, his younger sister Meng Hongchen seemed more relaxed. Her beautiful eyes curiously surveyed the Shrek Academy camp, her gaze shifting between the cold and domineering Dai Youheng and the stunningly handsome and radiant Wang Dong. She was even making a strange comparison in her mind, "Hmm—the cool and tough guy type or the delicate and handsome boy type, how should I choose? What a happy dilemma."
In the distance, on the towering walls of the Xingluo Imperial Palace, Emperor Xu Jiawei, surrounded by a host of civil and military officials, was already seated, demonstrating the empire's utmost importance placed on this final match.
Beside him, besides the dignified and noble empress, were the beautiful and charming Princess Xu Jiujiu and the imposing Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger, dressed in military attire.
Xu Jiujiu's gaze seemed to calmly sweep across the entire room, but the corner of his eye would always inadvertently fall on the tall, black-haired youth.
The figure of Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, silently appeared in the center of the arena. His deep, uniquely magnetic voice resounded throughout the entire arena through the amplified soul tool: "The final of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, I, Huang Jinxu, will serve as the final referee. Now, I will announce the rules of the competition—"
Although the rules were already memorized, the procedures were still essential. Team battles, individual elimination rounds, and a 2-2-3 strategy, all best-of-three format. If one side won the first two rounds, the final round would not be played.
In the Shrek Academy's preparation area, Zhou Shen took a deep breath, stood up, and scanned each of the team members about to take the stage. Her voice was calm and powerful, attempting to quell the turmoil in the team members' hearts, "Everyone, remember everything we discussed before the match. Proceed as planned! Shrek's glory rests in your hands!"
"yes!"
"Team members from both sides, please enter the arena." The Heavenly Fiend Douluo, meticulously timing everything, announced the order without a trace of emotion.
From the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, seven figures emerged in response. Captain Ma Rulong took the lead, followed closely by the battle-ready Xiao Hongchen and the seemingly relaxed but actually restrained Meng Hongchen siblings, and then four equally formidable regular team members.
On Shrek Academy's side, the seven people who appeared were Captain Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, Xiao Xiao, Bei Bei, Jiang Nannan, He Caitou, and Xu Sanshi.
This lineup immediately sparked a buzz of discussion in the stands. Aces like Dai Youheng, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong, who had performed exceptionally well in previous matches, were surprisingly relegated to the bench!
Zhou Yi's expression was stern. Giving up the team battle was a decision she made after painful deliberation.
The Sun and Moon team's coordinated soul tool combat capabilities in team battles are too strong. In a head-on confrontation, Shrek Academy, with its incomplete lineup, has a very low chance of winning. Rather than exhausting their strength or even suffering casualties in team battles, it's better to strategically conserve their power.
Her plan was cold and pragmatic. The goal of the team battle was not to win, but to concentrate all efforts on attacking and severely damaging the key figures of the Sun and Moon team, such as captain Ma Rulong and core player Xiao Hongchen, at all costs! Even if it meant trading injuries for injuries, she wanted to make sure they lost the ability to participate in individual battles and 2v2 battles.
At the same time, be sure to pay attention to your own safety. Once you have achieved part of the goal, or the situation is untenable, bet decisively to concede and preserve your strength, and put the real chance of victory in the individual battles and the 2-2-3 battles that follow!
The flames of resentment burned in Ma Xiaotao's eyes, making it harder for her to admit defeat than to be killed, but for the sake of the bigger picture, she could only forcefully suppress her rage.
Dai Youheng sat in the audience, as calm as ever. He just wanted to finish the match as soon as possible, get the soul bone, and leave.
