"Dong!"
An ancient bell tolled suddenly, echoing through the noisy arena.
Bibi Dong, golden scepter in hand, slowly scanned the entire arena, her gaze finally settling on the young man conversing with Dugu Bo below the platform. A smile played on her lips as she announced loudly, "The competition begins! All academies, proceed to the preparation area!"
As Bibi Dong's voice fell, figures flashed and moved, tracing arcs through the air before landing in various locations across the plaza.
Tang San smiled faintly at the gazes of the entire arena. He shot out a Blue Silver Grass, which coiled around a nearby building. With a flick of his wrist, he leaped off the platform and swung like a monkey into the preparation area.
Tang San's unusual entrance naturally attracted considerable attention. Compared to Tang San's entrance, Cheng Xiao's was much more understated. Unlike Tang San, he entered the arena with the Seven Star Academy members, keeping a low profile and going largely unnoticed.
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang also spotted the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation. His gaze swept towards the towering platform of the Papal Palace, and he muttered to himself, "Heh, Bibi Dong, is this the challenge you gave me?"
Then, with the referee's announcement, the first match began.
As the referee's command faded, the students in the preparation area swiftly moved forward. In the next instant, they focused intently, their faces tense, dazzling spirit rings coiling upwards from their feet, releasing their spirits, their eyes sharply fixed on their opponents.
Seeing the gradually spreading, fiery fighting spirit in the arena, whispers arose from the surrounding stands, and some gazes instantly became intensely eager. The long-awaited finals of the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament were finally about to officially begin.
The academy matches proceeded quickly; the first match ended, the second round began, and then the third...
The morning air was cool and comfortable, but by the afternoon, as the sun hung high in the sky, that coolness was gradually replaced by a faint heat. Although it wasn't yet the height of summer, the temperature in the center of the arena was unusually high.
Sitting in the stands, Cheng Xiao watched the Soul Arena in front of the Papal Palace, where students from Shrek Academy and Wind and Fire Academy were staring at each other.
Tang San and Dai Mubai stood at the forefront of the Shrek team, looking at the familiar faces not far away, both their expressions showing a hint of solemnity.
Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang, as the core members of Wind and Fire Academy, were also staring back at Tang San and Dai Mubai.
"You Blazing Fire Academy and Divine Wind Academy are a bunch of trash! To win the match, you resort to such despicable means! It's utterly shameless!" Ma Hongjun shouted.
"So what if you're willing to do anything to win?" Huo Wu looked at Ma Hongjun with disdain, saying, "Unlike your Shrek Academy, apart from a few decent Soul Masters, you're worse than trash."
"Without your good teammates, what are you? But speaking of which, you said we'd unite, does that mean Shrek Academy hasn't merged with Blue Tyrant Academy?"
Before the match even started, the atmosphere between the two sides was already tense, the air thick with tension.
Hearing Huo Wu's words, Tang San remained silent, but his gaze towards her was filled with killing intent.
At this moment, the referee approached, glanced at both sides, and said calmly, "Both teams bow, non-participants leave the arena."
Upon hearing this, both Shrek Academy and Wind and Fire Academy reluctantly bowed to each other.
The extra personnel left the arena, leaving only the seven participants from each side.
After the ceremony, Feng Xiaotian immediately went to Huo Wu, shielding her behind him. At that moment, Huo Wu burst into flames, seemingly merging with Feng Xiaotian's silhouette. The other team members, led by Feng Xiaotian, also released their martial souls.
Meanwhile, on Shrek Academy's side, Tang San and the others didn't form their usual traditional formation. Instead, the instant the referee announced the start, they quickly retreated, forming a long line.
"What is this?"
Pope Bibi Dong, seated before the Papal Palace, Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the other Title Douluos all showed surprise. They couldn't understand what Shrek Academy was doing.
Could it be a new tactic?
"Feng Xiaotian, quick, take off!" Seeing the rather strange formation of the Shrek Academy team, Huo Wu's expression changed slightly, and she quickly reminded them.
As soon as Huo Wu finished speaking, the formation of the seven members of the Wind and Fire Academy changed again. A pair of enormous azure wings unfurled from Feng Xiaotian's back, and at the same time, azure light and shadow condensed from behind him, forming the shape of the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf.
Against the backdrop of that massive and dazzling light and shadow, Feng Xiaotian's wings flapped lightly, and he used the wind in the air to soar into the sky. The moment he reached mid-air, his second and third spirit rings simultaneously shone brightly.
"Second Spirit Skill, Twin Wolves Possession!"
"Third Spirit Skill, Gale Wings!"
Under the effect of these two spirit skills, Feng Xiaotian's combat power suddenly surged to its peak in a very short time. Furthermore, countless dense, fiery red light points were being released from the hands of the two support-type spirit masters behind Huo Wu, then converging towards Feng Xiaotian's body at an astonishing speed.
The blazing flames in Huo Wu's hands condensed into white light. At this moment, all four of her spirit rings lit up simultaneously, her expression very solemn.
"A fusion technique of wind and fire?"
"Shrek, Seven in One!"
Seeing this scene, Tang San shouted. He stood at the forefront, followed by Dai Mubai, then Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, and the others.
They suddenly condensed their soul power into one, their soul rings lighting up simultaneously, and then continuously transferred it to the person in front. When it reached Dai Mubai, his palm slammed onto Tang San's back.
In that instant, Tang San's body trembled violently, and an incomparably immense pressure was released from him.
The violent soul power swept across the entire arena, astonishing the spectators in the stands.
"Is this a seven-in-one fusion technique?" Dugu Bo was slightly surprised as he watched the scene unfold. "Shrek Academy has something like this? They've kept it well hidden."
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao, sitting next to Dugu Bo, smiled and said, "Yes, they've kept it well hidden all the way to the finals. It must have been tough for them."
In the square in front of the Papal Palace, Feng Xiaotian's expression changed slightly. Then, he moved, his body descending from the sky like a shooting star. His massive body, with its outstretched wings, made no sound during its descent, and the azure light emanating from it all subsided. At this moment, his body and wings were perfectly integrated.
"Thirty-six Consecutive Slashes of the Gale Wolf!"
This was Feng Xiaotian's self-created soul skill. If he hadn't spent so much time figuring out how to create his own soul skill, with his talent, he might not have fallen behind the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall.
Just as Feng Xiaotian descended from the sky, a blazing white light suddenly erupted from Huo Wu's palm, instantly catching up with his body. Simultaneously, Feng Xiaotian completely merged into this white light.
Assisted by the light, Feng Xiaotian exuded an explosive aura of power, with frenzied energy bursting forth from his body, the intense heat causing a slight distortion in the surrounding air.
The alliance between Shenfeng Academy and Chihuo Academy was undoubtedly a perfect match; wind fueled fire, and fire borrowed the power of wind. Their ability to concentrate the power of seven people together would undoubtedly create a terrifyingly formidable attack.
Faced with Feng Xiaotian's sudden outburst, Tang San, standing at the forefront of the group, was briefly surprised before immediately raising his left hand.
"Haotian Hammer, appear!"
he shouted, raising his left hand high, black light surging, the Haotian Hammer floating in his palm.
Immediately afterward, a surge of dark light erupted from Tang San's left palm. In that instant, he abruptly raised his head, and a purple-gold light burst forth from his eyes. This wasn't a mental attack, but rather a way to see everything before him more clearly.
Under the influence of the Purple Demon Eye, everything before Tang San's eyes seemed to slow down, and countless data points converged precisely in his brain.
The next moment, his left hand moved.
"Clear Sky Hammer, Chaotic Cloak!"
Guided by the dark light, the Clear Sky Hammer didn't rotate at all. A thunderous roar resounded from the Clear Sky Hammer, and a bolt of lightning descended from the sky. The originally small hammer swelled in mid-air, its head instantly becoming as large as a water vat.
"This kid used the Clear Sky Hammer?" Dugu Bo in the audience was stunned for a moment, then slowly said, "No wonder they're positioned like this; they're hoping to win with a single blow from this kid's Clear Sky Hammer."
"Pretty much. With this one strike, the match will probably be over." Cheng Xiao glanced at the Clear Sky Hammer in the arena and said calmly.
In the spacious plaza, Tang San closed his eyes and slowly raised the massive Clear Sky Hammer with one hand. A dark golden light suddenly erupted from the hammer, as if an incomparably powerful energy was being released from it.
Tang San was like the handle of the hammer, his entire being seemingly fused with it.
Before him, Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with surprise and uncertainty, but even more so, with killing intent, for this scene was all too familiar to her.
"A True Form of a Weapon Spirit? How is this possible?" Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, standing behind Bibi Dong, exclaimed in surprise. "They're only at level 40 or 50, how did they manage to do that?"
Once a Soul Master with a Beast Spirit reaches level 70 and obtains their seventh Soul Ring, their seventh Soul Skill will inevitably be a True Form of the Martial Spirit, transforming into their own Martial Spirit body and possessing immense explosive power, increasing their strength exponentially.
The situation for Weapon Spirit Masters is slightly different from Beast Spirit Masters. Their seventh Soul Skill is a True Form of the Weapon Spirit, using themselves as the soul of their Weapon Spirit, maximizing the Weapon Spirit's power. Before level 70, Beast Spirit Masters are undoubtedly stronger than Weapon Spirit Masters, but after level 70, Weapon Spirit Masters, with their powerful True Forms of the Weapon Spirit, can surpass Beast Spirit Masters.
Who would have thought that in the finals of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, a rare True Form of the Weapon Spirit would appear, and the Martial Spirit activated was the Clear Sky Hammer, hailed as having the number one Weapon Spirit Ring.
In fact, even Tang San himself hadn't expected to be able to unleash the full power of his Weapon Soul True Body. When his soul power was amplified to level 70 or higher and he wielded the Clear Sky Hammer, he almost instinctively activated his Weapon Soul True Body.
When Feng Xiaotian's Gale Wolf Thirty-Six Slashes clashed with Tang San's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, he could still hold his own, even gaining a slight advantage. However, after ten strikes, Feng Xiaotian could only retreat step by step.
He was like a piece of forged iron, constantly being hammered and pounded by the Clear Sky Hammer. At this moment, the wings connected to his arms had been completely numb from the shockwaves.
In front of the chaotic hammer shadows, Huo Wu and the other two support soul masters were also impacted by the energy ripples, tumbling outwards like rolling gourds. They didn't even have a chance to use their soul skills or defend themselves. With a deafening roar
, almost all six members of the Wind and Fire Academy, except for Feng Xiaotian, were blasted away, landing more than a hundred meters away.
Feng Xiaotian, who was unleashing the Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes of the Gale Wolf, tried to stop, but to his shock, he found he couldn't. Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer seemed to possess a unique adhesiveness, constantly pulling at his body.
"Ah!" Feng Xiaotian roared, his entire body surging with azure light.
Another deafening crash followed as the Clear Sky Hammer shattered the wings on Feng Xiaotian's back. The hammer continued its relentless momentum, finally striking Feng Xiaotian's chest.
"Ah!" A scream rang out as Feng Xiaotian's chest caved in, and he was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily off the arena.
With Feng Xiaotian's defeat, Wind and Fire Academy suffered a crushing defeat.
Tang San, who had been wielding the Clear Sky Hammer with one hand, now held it with both. His eyes flashed red light; for some reason, although he had completely defeated his opponent, he couldn't control his body, a powerful killing intent rising within him.
Just as Tang San was about to swing the Clear Sky Hammer again to finish off Feng Xiaotian, Tang Hao's deep voice suddenly rang in his ears, "Stop! Little San, withdraw your power, return your soul."
Tang Hao's voice carried a strange charm, guiding Tang San to retract the Clear Sky Hammer. The dark golden light gradually disappeared from the hammer, then rapidly surged into Tang San's body.
The Clear Sky Hammer returned to its original small black hammer form.
The next moment, a clear change appeared on Tang San's face, from brief astonishment to pain. He could clearly feel that his soul seemed to have been peeled away and then reinjected into his body.
The burden on his body was far greater than before. Tang San gasped for breath. Using the Weapon Soul True Body consumed not only his soul power and strength, but also his soul. Only when one's own soul merged with the weapon spirit could one use the Weapon Soul True Body.
"Disperse!" Tang San managed to utter a single word.
As soon as the words fell, the remaining six members of Shrek Academy quickly withdrew their strength. The golden aura slowly faded, and the seven of them almost simultaneously let out a long breath. What seemed like a simple match had actually exhausted all their soul power.
Tang San staggered, his body trembling slightly. Using the Weapon Soul True Body had almost completely drained his soul power and physical strength. Fortunately, Dai Mubai had been stabilizing him; otherwise, he would probably have already collapsed from exhaustion.
The match ended much faster than expected, leaving many people still in a daze. In
the Shrek Academy's rest area,
after seeing Tang San defeat Feng Xiaotian with a single blow, Grandmaster was initially stunned, then overjoyed. He hadn't expected that the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique, borrowed from Canghui Academy, would allow Tang San to use the Haotian True Body. With this, wouldn't Shrek Academy no longer need to fear Seven Star Academy? No matter
how strong Cheng Xiao was, he couldn't possibly defeat the Weapon Soul True Body, which could only be used at level seventy, right?
A smug smile appeared on his stiff face. Grandmaster turned to Flander and said, "Flander, did you see that? With the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique, we really have a chance to win the championship!"
"Hahaha, Xiao Gang, it's too early to say that now." Hearing this, Flander walked to Grandmaster's side, patted the latter's shoulder, and laughed, "But congratulations in advance! You've not only taken on a good disciple, but your years of research into martial soul theory are finally about to pay off."
"Of course, but Shrek Academy's victory is also thanks to these kids. I only played a guiding role." Grandmaster waved his hand modestly.
At this moment, Grandmaster had already imagined Shrek Academy defeating Seven Star Academy and winning the championship, and his disciple Tang San becoming famous throughout the continent with the Clear Sky Hammer. At that time, it would be Yu Xiaogang proving to the world the power of martial soul theory, and he, Yu Xiaogang, was no waste!
He was a master in the world of martial soul theory, a master without a doubt!
"Xiao Gang, you're being too modest. Shrek Academy wouldn't have achieved what it has today without your guidance on spirit theory." Flander, also hoping for a championship, smiled and said, "Xiao San has twin spirits, but we both know his Blue Silver Grass spirit is a standard useless spirit. His ability to cultivate to this level is all thanks to your excellent teaching. Don't try to deny it."
Hearing this, Grandmaster didn't deny it this time, because Flander was telling the truth. Without his guidance on spirit theory, how could Tang San have reached his current level?
"By the way, Flander, it's been over twenty years since I was expelled from the sect, hasn't it?" Grandmaster suddenly asked.
"From today onwards, I, Yu Xiaogang, stand up with my head held high. I want to show those who looked down on me, those who mocked me, that I, Yu Xiaogang, am not a piece of trash—not before, not now, and not in the future!"
Knowing Grandmaster's inner pain, Flander silently nodded, but said nothing.
Just then, supported by Dai Mubai, Tang San arrived before Grandmaster. After this battle, his shattered confidence had been restored.
"Teacher, thank you for teaching us the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique. With it, our chances of defeating Seven Star Academy have increased. If we can defeat them, our chances of winning the championship will be even greater," Tang San said.
Before the match began, Grandmaster had only taught the Shrek Seven Devils how to use the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique; Tang San was in charge of the entire process, aiming to defeat the opponent as quickly as possible.
Grandmaster had theoretically concluded that injecting the soul power of the other six into one person would temporarily grant them immense combat power. However, he never expected that this seven-in-one fusion technique would actually help Tang San condense the true form of the Clear Sky Hammer's spirit!
But Grandmaster wasn't overly excited. Instead, he hesitated about whether to tell Tang San about the negative effects of using the seven-in-one fusion technique.
With Tang San's current strength, his soul power was far from sufficient. If Tang San used the true form of the spirit again in the upcoming battle, it could severely damage his soul, causing anything from memory loss to becoming an idiot.
But if he didn't continue using it, Shrek Academy's chances of winning would drop even lower. Continuing to use it could potentially affect his future.
Grandmaster was now troubled. On one hand, he wanted to prove his martial soul theory; on the other hand, he wanted his disciple's future. He didn't know how to choose, because choosing one meant abandoning the other. This made it incredibly difficult for Grandmaster, who wanted both, to decide.
Seeing that Grandmaster's expression was somewhat off, Tang San, though puzzled, still tried to comfort him, saying, "Teacher, don't worry about what others think. In my heart, you are the strongest master of martial spirit theory in the world, and also the teacher I, Tang San, respect the most."
Hearing this, Grandmaster sighed, habitually patting Tang San's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Little San, don't worry, I'm used to being misunderstood. Right now, the most important thing is you. Go back and rest well. The responsibility of Shrek Academy winning the championship needs you to shoulder it."
"It's nothing for me to suffer a little grievance. As long as you can become a powerful figure, I'll be content."
Hearing this, a warm current flowed through Tang San's heart. He hadn't expected that Grandmaster, even at this moment, would still be thinking of him. He immediately resolved to win the championship of this year's competition to repay his teacher's kindness.
...
Several hours later, in the Papal Palace, in the council hall.
Pope Bibi Dong sat on the main throne, with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo standing behind her. Before them stood seven members representing the Spirit Hall Academy in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament.
Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan stood at the very front.
"You all saw the match just now. Tang San used the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique to unleash his True Spirit Body," Bibi Dong said calmly. "However, you don't need to worry. If he uses it again in the next match, even if he doesn't die, he'll become a cripple."
"Regarding Cheng Xiao of Seven Star Academy, his other identity is Elder Chrysanthemum's disciple. If you encounter him, be sure to protect yourselves. He's more powerful than you imagine."
"Teacher, the three of us have already reached the Soul King level. My brother and I can also use the Soul Fusion Technique, and our actual combat strength can reach the Soul Emperor level. Although Cheng Xiao is Elder Chrysanthemum's disciple, he…" As a member of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation and also Bibi Dong's disciple, Hu Liena spoke respectfully, but anyone could hear the resentment in her words.
Hearing this, Bibi Dong was not angry. Instead, she reminded her, "Nana, have you forgotten how your teacher taught you? Even a lion must go all out to hunt a rabbit. Underestimating the enemy and being careless is a cardinal sin in warfare."
"...Yes, teacher," Hu Liena replied respectfully, no longer arguing.
Seeing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, standing behind Bibi Dong, pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Your Holiness, should I go and tell my disciple?"
"No need." Hearing Yue Guan's somewhat effeminate voice, Bibi Dong waved her hand, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, and said, "Although Cheng Xiao hasn't studied or cultivated in the Spirit Hall for so many years, his rapid improvement has surprised even me."
"Nana and the others have been in a state of arduous training for so many years. It's a good thing that they can now encounter opponents of similar strength. Besides, no matter who wins the championship, aren't they all from our Spirit Hall?"
Hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan was slightly taken aback, then lowered his head and whispered, "Yes, Your Holiness."
