Chapter 237: Heroes Abound Like Crocodiles Crossing a River
The next day, as the rising sun bathed Spirit City in golden light, the square outside the Papal Palace was already packed with people, a scene of deafening cheers.
Today was the final match of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
A day destined to be recorded in history.
Led by Dugu Bo, the students of Tianxing Academy arrived early at the edge of the competition venue.
Tang Chuan, dressed in simple, athletic attire, his long blue hair looking particularly refreshing in the morning light, stood quietly beside him. His long golden hair shone with the rising sun, and his beautiful face showed no sign of tension.
Just then, the side door of the Papal Palace slowly opened.
The Golden Generation of Spirit Hall, dressed in gleaming gold team uniforms, accompanied by several cardinals, walked out with steady and confident steps.
Their appearance immediately drew even more enthusiastic cheers and attention from the entire audience.
Xie Yue, the leader, instantly locked his icy gaze on Tang Chuan not far away. Then, a cruel smile curled at the corner of his lips, and in front of tens of thousands of people, he brazenly raised his hand, making an extremely arrogant throat-slitting gesture!
His provocation was palpable!
Yan, beside him, also met the fierce gazes of the Tianxing Academy members.
However, Hu Liena, one of the three, reacted differently.
When Hu Liena's captivating eyes fell on Tang Chuan, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, a barely perceptible hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
This young man…
she felt as if she had seen him somewhere before?
Not in terms of his appearance, but in his unique aura and his unfathomable, all-consuming gaze, which gave her a strange, vague sense of familiarity. But no matter how hard Hu Liena tried to recall, she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
Faced with Xie Yue's blatant threat of death, Tang Chuan didn't even lift an eyelid.
However, Dugu Bo, standing beside him, curled his lips in disdain, scoffed, and muttered in a voice not too loud but loud enough for everyone nearby to hear:
"Heh, these people from the Spirit Hall are really arrogant, a bunch of ignorant fools!"
Just as the atmosphere became tense, a cardinal stepped to the center of the arena, channeled his spirit power, and announced loudly:
"The final round of the finals, Heavenly Path Academy versus Spirit Hall Academy, both teams, enter the arena!"
His voice echoed throughout the plaza, instantly pushing everyone's anticipation to its peak.
Hearing this, Tang Chuan simply waved his hand, signaling his teammates to prepare to enter the arena.
He was about to step forward, leading his team towards the massive arena, when Dugu Bo suddenly extended a thin but powerful hand and placed it on Tang Chuan's shoulder, stopping him in his tracks.
"Boy, be careful in the match. Go all out, don't hold back."
At this moment, Dugu Bo's usual playful expression faded slightly, and a hint of seriousness flashed in his dark green pupils before he looked at the figure sitting upright on the high platform of the Papal Palace, like a god. His voice was quite deep as he said,
"If the Spirit Hall can't accept defeat and dares to play any underhanded tricks after the match, and attack you... Although I can't defeat that woman Bibi Dong,"
"I'm confident I can make everyone in this entire Spirit City..."
This undisguised threat instantly lowered the temperature of the surrounding air.
He was openly warning Bibi Dong that any behavior that exceeded the rules of the match would face the most insane and reckless retaliation from a Title Douluo at the peak of poison mastery!
Turning slowly, Tang Chuan met Dugu Bo's earnest eyes, a warmth spreading through him. He nodded, saying nothing more than two simple words:
"Don't worry."
Without further hesitation, his figure flashed, and in a blur, he appeared in the center of the arena.
Tang Chuan's blue hair fluttered, his robes billowing. Despite facing a triangular formation of three members of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation alone, his aura remained undiminished.
His effortless and swift movement drew gasps from the audience.
On the high platform, watching this scene, Bibi Dong's eyes flickered slightly, her fingers gripping the scepter tightening imperceptibly.
The final battle was about to begin!
Moments later, seeing both teams had stepped onto the arena and taken their designated positions, the referee, the Cardinal in his robes, dared not delay and immediately announced loudly:
"The final round of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, the final match between Tianxing Academy and Wuhun Hall Academy, begins! Both sides may release their Martial Souls!"
"Buzz—!"
Almost the instant the referee's words fell, seven powerful soul force fluctuations erupted from the Wuhun Hall Academy team's side like dormant volcanoes!
Several dazzling lights shot into the sky, accompanied by heart-palpitating roars and the clang of weapons.
The three leading figures, Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan, had their soul rings illuminate in succession: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black! A full five soul rings, especially the last deep black ten-thousand-year soul ring, radiating a suffocating pressure!
These three were clearly three genuine Soul King powerhouses!
Behind them, the four team members simultaneously released their Martial Souls, each boasting a top-tier Soul Ring configuration of two yellow and two purple rings. The strength of these four Soul Masters was not to be underestimated!
Seven people as one, their Soul Rings gleaming, a powerful Soul Power pressure surging forth like a golden wave, sweeping towards the Tianxing Academy group on the other side of the arena!
The sheer force of their attack drew deafening cheers from the spectators supporting the Spirit Hall.
The Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, truly deserving of its name! From their very first move, they displayed the unparalleled strength of the Spirit Hall's younger generation!
The next second, the entire Papal Palace Square erupted in an uproar, as if a bomb had been dropped on it!
"Three Soul Kings! My God!"
"As expected of the Spirit Hall! This foundation, this strength, who can compete?"
"The championship is no longer in doubt! Long live the Spirit Hall!"
"Look at Tianxing Academy, they're all terrified! They don't even dare to release their Martial Souls!"
In the stands, the supporters of the Spirit Hall were flushed with excitement, their cheers, screams, and exclamations rising like a tsunami.
In their eyes, a lineup of three Soul Kings plus four Soul Masters of the best ratio was simply invincible among the younger generation of Soul Masters!
In the previous few days of competition, although Tianxing Academy had advanced all the way, Tang Chuan had almost never made a move; it was Xiao Ruier and Dugu Yan who had.
Therefore, in the eyes of most spectators, Tianxing Academy had two Soul Kings, while the Spirit Hall had three, making the Spirit Hall Academy stronger overall.
It was a case of three being greater than two, the advantage was in their hands!
As for Tang Chuan becoming a six-ring Soul Emperor and the astonishing 100,000-year Soul Ring on his body, only the Spirit Hall and Shrek Academy know this.
Shrek Academy, aware of the inside story, has already withdrawn from the competition.
This has made this crucial information a closely guarded secret.
Therefore, the situation in the plaza is almost entirely one-sided.
Everyone is captivated by the terrifying strength displayed by the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation at the start, convinced that they are the champions of this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament.
The clamor almost lifts the sky, and amidst this frenzy of cheers for the Spirit Hall, Tang Chuan, standing on the arena, facing the overwhelming pressure of soul power, unconsciously curls a barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth.
"As the saying goes, heroes are as numerous as carp crossing a river!"
"So-called geniuses are merely the threshold to seeing me. It's time to let this world witness a true genius."
