The other members of Shrek Academy all turned to look at Tang San, who also possessed the fourth ring of the Ten Thousand Years.
Dai Mubai patted Tang San on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "It's okay, Tang San. Although we've lost one advantage of the ten-thousand-year spirit ring, we still have other trump cards."
Tang San stood there frozen, managing to twitch the corners of his mouth with difficulty, trying to calm his mind, which was being disturbed by Yan's soul ring.
Xu Yu looked at Yan, who was shining brightly on the field, with a sour expression on his face.
I imagine that during his qualifying matches, he too, like Yan, received awe-inspiring looks from others.
With a loud bang, the two fists, both engulfed in blazing flames, collided in mid-air, producing a resounding explosion.
"Glizzle"
Huo Wushuang's face showed pain as he clearly heard the sound of his finger bones breaking or shattering.
He was like a punch thrown at a hot and incredibly hard granite; the result of such an attempt was no different from the former falling asleep first.
"elder brother!"
Huo Wu's beautiful face changed drastically.
Seeing Huo Wushuang retract his fist, his right arm trembled slightly, and large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, only to be evaporated into the air by the scorching flames. He forcibly endured the pain of his shattered finger bones and activated his fourth soul skill, Tyrannosaurus's Wrath, which was the most powerful single-target attack.
"Good timing!"
The unicorn fire tyrannosaurus, its size suddenly expanding, roared and charged towards him.
Yan shouted loudly, and the red flames that enveloped him and distorted the air suddenly surged higher, his first and second soul rings activating simultaneously.
"Buzz—!"
Yan's body bulged under the influence of the first two spirit rings, his upper body clothes were torn to shreds, revealing muscles that had expanded several times their original size, like bulging granite.
Behind them, the enormous and ferocious Flame Lord and Yan raised their arms together and slammed their palms down on Huo Wushuang, who was covered in dark red and violent energy.
Unsurprisingly, Huo Wushuang's dark red soul power shattered into countless fragments like broken glass, and his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, turning into a fiery red afterimage. Just as he was about to fall off the battle platform dozens of meters high, Feng Xiaotian had already rushed out to catch him, but he was caught by a temple knight guarding the square.
"cough!"
With only a lingering, hazy consciousness remaining, Huo Wushuang coughed up a mouthful of blood mist and fainted under the worried gaze of Feng Xiaotian, who had rushed over to check on him.
Unexpectedly, Huo Wushuang was so easily hit, and Yan looked at Qian Yuelong with some helplessness.
He didn't do it on purpose!
He never expected his opponent to be so weak. He couldn't withstand the first direct confrontation.
Qian Yuelong, who inexplicably understood the meaning behind Yan's gaze: "..."
She casually looked away, pretending not to see the other people staring at her.
She didn't instigate it.
It has nothing to do with her.
Xie Yue sighed, unable to bear the sight: "I told this guy to watch his step."
You, a Soul King who has cultivated the Body Tempering Technique to its highest level and also learned other body tempering techniques to enhance your spiritual power, are bullying a Soul Sect member. If you slap him head-on without holding back, it's no wonder he faints.
On the other side, Feng Xiaotian, having checked on Huo Wushuang's condition, breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He is in a deep coma, with shattered finger bones and two or three broken ribs, but fortunately, his life is not in danger. Please have a healing-type Soul Master treat him properly and he will recover after some rest.
But... he definitely won't be able to play in the second game.
Having reached this somber conclusion, Feng Xiaotian exhaled a breath of turbid air, his azure wind wings fluttered, and he leaped onto the battle platform.
When the referee called on the second player from Shenfeng Academy to take the field, Feng Xiaotian raised his hand: "Referee, please wait a moment!"
"Hmm? Is there something wrong with Kamikaze Academy?"
All eyes were on Feng Xiaotian, who had raised his hand.
The other team members looked worriedly at Feng Xiaotian, who was standing ramrod straight. Amidst many astonished gazes, Feng Xiaotian bowed his back toward Bibi Dong and said firmly and solemnly, "Your Holiness the Pope, Shenfeng Academy voluntarily withdraws from the individual competition and the subsequent loser's bracket revival match."
The honor of Kamikaze Academy will ultimately stop at third place.
"What?! Kamikaze forfeited?! How are we supposed to continue observing their strength?" Ma Hongjun's eyes widened.
Flanders and the others didn't expect that Feng Xiaotian would voluntarily abstain.
However, after their initial surprise, they could understand why Feng Xiaotian had voluntarily withdrawn.
The difference in strength between them and the official members of the Spirit Hall is too great. Continuing to fight will only result in more casualties on their own.
and...
Tang San glanced at Huo Wu and the others, who were being carried back onto the battle platform by the Temple Knights and surrounded by them, and his heart sank slightly.
After this individual tournament, Kamikaze might not be able to participate in the subsequent loser's bracket revival match.
Therefore, it's better to cut your losses in time and stop when you've reached your limit.
Although it was very disadvantageous for Shrek Academy, Feng Xiaotian's decision was undoubtedly correct.
Bibi Dong looked at Feng Xiaotian, whose eyes revealed resentment and a sigh, and confirmed it again, receiving affirmative answers each time.
"Since Shenfeng Academy has voluntarily withdrawn from the next two rounds of the competition, Shrek Academy and Spirit Hall Academy will directly advance to tomorrow's finals to compete for the ultimate championship. Today's schedule ends here."
Bibi Dong announced calmly, then softened her voice and said to Feng Xiaotian:
“Injured Soul Masters of your esteemed academy can receive free treatment from Soul Emperor-level healing Soul Masters of my Spirit Hall.”
Feng Xiaotian felt relieved and clasped his hands in thanks to Bibi Dong, saying, "Thank you, Your Holiness the Pope!"
People from the three colleges gradually left the stands.
Qian Yuelong and her group went in the opposite direction from the other two academies, and under Bibi Dong's summons, they stepped into the council hall of the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong gracefully crossed her legs as she sat back down on the papal throne, looking at the seven people, including Qian Yuelong, who stood in the center of the hall, with Yue Guan and Gui Mei standing on her left and right sides.
"Tomorrow is the final match between you and Shrek Academy."
"If you still can't win even when you're one or two levels ahead in soul power, then you don't need to stay in the academy anymore. Get out of here to the Death Canyon, seal your soul power, and stay in seclusion for six months!"
When Bibi Dong mentioned the "two realms," her gaze swept over Qian Yuelong.
Upon hearing the unforgettable words "Death Canyon," Xie Yue and the others, except for Qian Yuelong, all changed their expressions and replied in unison, "Yes."
The Death Canyon is home to many powerful soul beasts, including some that the Spirit Hall deliberately captured from other places and kept in the canyon like a breeding ground for poisonous insects, with food provided regularly.
When I was a newbie, I was able to train within the defensive circle because of the Spirit Hall's guardian knights. But if I had no spirit power and was no longer within the protective circle, that would be a different story.
The eerie, deep voice continued: "You should know what this competition means. It's not just your chance to make a name for yourselves, but also a symbol of who will own the four ten-thousand-year-old soul bones. Especially you, Holy Maiden, you understand the deeper meaning of this competition better than anyone else."
All eyes in the hall immediately focused on Qian Yuelong.
Qian Yuelong replied calmly, "Of course, Yuelong has never forgotten."
This will be a crucial step in the Spirit Hall's prelude to independence across the entire Douluo Continent!
—A side note—
It's even earlier today than yesterday!
