Chapter 107: The Tournament EndsThe final quickly entered the two-two-three battle phase; the atmosphere remained tense, but the situation had become much clearer.Because Dai Youheng had swiftly defeated Meng Hongchen with thunderous momentum during the individual battle, not giving her a chance to unleash her potent poison at full strength, Bei Bei and Ling Luochen on Shrek Academy's side were able to maintain a pristine condition.Zhou Yi had more options for her lineup arrangement; she sent out Ma Xiaotao, who was in peak condition, supplemented by the formidable Bei Bei, to face the strongest combination the Sun Moon Team was bound to send: Ma Rulong and another starting member.The match process was slightly smoother than expected. Bei Bei's Thunder Dragon Claw and Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix flames formed a good complement, putting considerable pressure on Ma Rulong.However, as the captain of the Sun Moon Team, Ma Rulong's trump cards were still formidable. In the heat of the battle, he finally found an opportunity and utilized that infinitely powerful eighth-rank spirit tool—The Sword of Judgment!The brilliant sword radiance, filled with the sense of judgment, tore through the arena. Although Ma Xiaotao and Bei Bei tried their best to resist and avoided being directly defeated, the peculiar energy contained within that sword radiance acted like a key, completely igniting the evil fire deeply hidden within Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Martial Soul."Ugh—!" Ma Xiaotao let out a painful hiss. The originally scorching Phoenix flames around her instantly turned dark red, violent, and filled with a destructive aura. Her eyes were veiled in crimson, her reason being devoured by madness. The powerful evil fire energy erupted uncontrollably, showing signs of her becoming an Evil Soul Master on the spot.Darkened power is ten times stronger; the explosive Ma Xiaotao instantly defeated Ma Rulong, securing the victory in the first two-on-two match, but she had also completely lost control."Senior Sister Xiaotao!" Bei Bei was horrified and attempted to approach, but was forced back by the rampaging evil fire.On the sidelines, Huo Yuhao's expression changed drastically, and he immediately went onto the stage, channeling his Ultimate Ice spirit power in an attempt to help suppress it.However, although his Ice Jade Empress Scorpion power was strong, it could only provide freezing suppression from the outside. For the Origin of the evil fire that had already completely erupted within Ma Xiaotao, the effect was limited and might even trigger a more violent conflict.Xuan Zi immediately flashed to Huo Yuhao's side and stopped him. In Xiaotao's current situation, not only could Huo Yuhao not save her, he might even be backlashed by her.Zhou Yi and the others' hearts sank to the bottom.In fact, at this moment, only Dai Youheng's snow soul condensing ice pill, which could allow a person to generate Ultimate Ice from within, could neutralize the evil fire from the inside out and save Ma Xiaotao from the dire situation.However, Dai Youheng merely sat calmly on the substitute bench, watching the struggling Ma Xiaotao on the field with an indifferent gaze, with no intention of intervening at all.Helping Ma Xiaotao held no benefit for him. On the contrary, it would expose the secret of his fate reversal heavenly demon pill Martial Soul. Once he demonstrated the ability to refine such magical Medicinal Pills, the Shrek Academy high-level management, or even the Sea Gods Pavilion, would absolutely spare no cost to keep him, and would never let him leave the academy to realize his own plans.After all, he and Ma Xiaotao were merely passing acquaintances; they couldn't even be considered friends. Whether she lived or died, or whether she became an Evil Soul Master, what did that have to do with him, Dai Youheng?To gamble his own freedom and future for an unrelated person? This kind of losing business, he would never do.No matter how dangerous Ma Xiaotao's situation was, the competition had to continue. For the second match, Shrek Academy sent out Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. The Sun Moon Team sent the injured siblings, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.Although the Hongchen siblings were injured and their strength was greatly reduced, their pride would not allow them to retreat. The two forcibly gathered their spirit power and once again unleashed their powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Mortal World Attachment!The magnificent metal torrent merged with the ice-and-fire-interwoven poisonous mist, transforming into a destructive tide of light, sweeping toward Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.The tacit understanding and foundation of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were deeper than theirs. Facing a formidable enemy, they held nothing back!The first move launched was the True Word from the Void—Mental Storm! The powerful mental shock was like an invisible giant hammer, ruthlessly smashing into the mental World of the ill-conditioned Hongchen siblings, causing their control over the Martial Soul Fusion Skill to instantly become chaotic.Immediately following was the Solo Dance in the Frost—Descent of the Light's Rainbow Garment! The beautiful phantom of the Goddess of Light swayed and danced, and Ultimate Ice perfectly merged with the Holy Light, transforming into a brilliant torrent that purified everything and froze all things, colliding head-on with the Mortal World Attachment, which had already lost thirty percent of its power!Light exploded, and energy raged.In the end, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, who were in better condition, were superior! Mortal World Attachment was forcibly broken, and the siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen both spat blood and flew backward, completely losing their combat ability."Second match, Shrek Academy, victory!" The Heavenly Fiend Douluo's announcement rang out.With the defeat of the Hongchen siblings, the two-two-three battle also completely ended, and the final score was fixed at two to one!"The final is over, the winner is Shrek Academy! Congratulations to them for winning the championship of this All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Soul Duel Tournament!" Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu's high-pitched voice spread across the entire venue.After a brief silence, Star Luo Plaza once again turned into an ocean of cheers. Although it was Shrek Academy that won the championship, and not their Star Luo National Academy.But Shrek Academy winning the championship was still better than the Sun Moon Royal Academy winning it.Moreover, first there was Dai Youheng who swept seven, and then Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong who possessed four Martial Soul Fusion Skills; Shrek Academy was truly worthy of being the Monster Academy.After the match, Xuan Zi forcibly demanded that The Sword of Judgment from the Sun Moon Royal Academy.After all, Ma Xiaotao had become like this because of that sword. He wanted to take it back and have the people at the Spirit Tool Academy study it carefully; perhaps they could find a way to save her.Hindered by Xuan Zi's super-strong ninety-eighth-rank strength, Elder Ma had to choose to comply, obediently handing The Sword of Judgment over to Xuan Zi.The All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Soul Duel Tournament had completely ended, and Star Luo City gradually returned to peace.The final award ceremony was not public, nor was it grand. But the prizes were not inferior in the slightest.In addition to the huge sum of one million gold coins, the most important part of the championship reward was three Spirit Bones. The Star Luo Empire displayed its profound heritage, specifically permitting the Shrek Academy representatives to enter the royal treasury and choose any three from the ten treasured Spirit Bones.Xuan Zi had no interest in such trivial matters and handed full authority to the team leader, Zhou Yi. After careful consideration, Zhou Yi finally selected three Spirit Bones of excellent quality that were very suitable for the current team members.One was a thirty-thousand-year Wisteria Right Arm Bone that could greatly enhance control and auxiliary abilities, one was a forty-thousand-year Giant-Palm Black Tiger Left Arm Bone containing violent power, and one was an Ice Attribute fifty-thousand-year Icefield Mammoth Left Arm Bone.These three Spirit Bones were all treasures that Spirit Masters in the outside World dreamed of, and they were priceless.After receiving the rewards, all the tasks for Shrek Academy's group for this trip were successfully completed, and it was time to return to the academy. Dai Youheng was naturally in the team as well. Although he had the intention to leave, he also knew that leaving without saying goodbye was equivalent to openly slapping Shrek Academy in the face, which would completely offend this behemoth, and this was seriously inconsistent with his principle of prioritizing interests.It was better to use the power of the Star Luo Royal Family and formally go through the graduation procedures with the upright reason of "responding to the national call, returning to serve the country."Just as the team was about to set off and leave Star Luo City, Dai Youheng's gaze turned toward the Star Luo Empire Princess, Xu Jiujiu.He cast a glance that was almost imperceptible, and Xu Jiujiu nodded slightly in a way that was barely visible, the corners of her lips curling into an elegant arc that suggested everything was under control, signaling that she understood.Dai Youheng would just return to the academy with the Shrek Academy team first. One month later, the Star Luo Royal Family would dispatch an envoy group of sufficient stature to formally welcome him back to the country.
