Chapter 253: Their respective trump cards
The next day, the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament entered its final stage.
This morning, in the square in front of the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Oakland Academy and Martial Soul Hall would compete for the championship in a team battle format.
Before the match, at the Martial Soul Hall's resting area.
"Last night, my teacher told me that she really hopes our Martial Soul Hall can win this tournament, but there's some bad news."
Hu Liena said to her teammates.
"What bad news? We have the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, victory definitely belongs to Martial Soul Hall!"
Yan was a little curious, but he thought that their previous loss in the individual battle against Oakland Academy was because Hu Liena and Xie Yue couldn't activate their Martial Soul Fusion Technique, otherwise they wouldn't have lost to Wang Chong.
Hu Liena looked around, then slowly spoke.
"My teacher said that Wang Chong of Oakland Academy is now a Level 74 Spirit Saint!"
"What? A Spirit Saint? Wasn't he just a Spirit Emperor during the preliminaries?"
Everyone's eyes widened.
During the preliminaries, information on Wang Chong had certainly been obtained by Martial Soul Hall, so how did he become a Spirit Saint in the blink of an eye?
"He is indeed a Spirit Saint, my teacher wouldn't be mistaken. But don't worry, even if we face a Spirit Saint, Xie Yue and my Martial Soul Fusion Technique still has the power to fight.
Moreover, besides Wang Chong, the others in Oakland Academy aren't very strong.
As soon as we enter the arena, Xie Yue and I will activate our Martial Soul Fusion Technique, while the five of you, Yan, will deal with the other members of Oakland Academy.
After you've dealt with the other members of Oakland Academy, we'll see if you need to provide assistance."
Everyone nodded. Indeed, Spirit Ancestor-level Spirit Masters couldn't participate in battles between Spirit Saints, and even if Yan was a Spirit King, it wouldn't work. They could only leave the Spirit Saint-level Wang Chong to Hu Liena and Xie Yue.
On the other side, at Oakland Academy's resting area, Wang Chong was also making arrangements for his Oakland Academy teammates.
"In today's championship match, after you enter the arena, just hide to the side. Martial Soul Hall are all high-level Spirit Ancestors at minimum, you won't be able to defeat them. Just let me handle them."
"Alright!"
Everyone nodded. If it weren't for their own Oakland Academy having the formidable Wang Chong, they might not even have made it into the promotion rounds.
Every member of Martial Soul Hall was formidable. Even with Ning Rongrong's assistance, Zhu Zhuqing and that Spirit Ancestor-level the Tailings could at most tie down two of the Spirit Ancestors, but for the outcome of the match, it was meaningless.
In short, as long as Wang Chong didn't fall, Oakland wouldn't lose. If Wang Chong fell, Oakland Academy would definitely be finished.
Soon, both teams entered the arena.
At Bibi Dong's signal, the referee began to give instructions.
"Both teams may release their Spirits. The match will officially begin in one minute!"
Instantly, within the ranks of both teams, Spirits were released, and yellow, purple, and black spirit rings bloomed.
After releasing their Spirits, everyone in Martial Soul Hall looked at Wang Chong, to see if he would still not activate his Spirit.
Seeing everyone's gaze focused on him, Wang Chong calmly spoke.
"Since you want to see, then as you wish. Spirit: Saint Light Armor!"
Instantly, the Saint Light Armor Spirit appeared, and seven dazzling spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, and red—bloomed. The seventh red spirit ring was especially dazzling.
Since it had already reached the final championship match, Wang Chong naturally had no need to hide anymore.
"Oh my god, a red Ten-thousand Year Soul Ring! How is this possible?"
"A Spirit Saint with a Ten-thousand Year Soul Ring actually appeared?"
"How did this young man manage to do it? Not to mention finding a Ten-thousand Year Spirit Beast, the key is how did he absorb it?"
"Tsk tsk, most Titled Douluo don't even have a Ten-thousand Year Soul Ring, yet a Spirit Saint actually possesses one."
On the spectator stands, discussions immediately erupted.
"You actually have a Ten-thousand Year Soul Ring?"
Hu Liena's eyes widened, looking at Wang Chong in disbelief.
"It's just a mere Ten-thousand Year Soul Ring, nothing to make a fuss about."
Wang Chong said calmly. In fact, he was very calm on the surface, but inwardly he was extremely proud.
Indeed, after all, Wang Chong was only an eighteen-year-old young man. Facing the admiring gazes of the crowd, he was naturally very proud.
Of course, to everyone, Wang Chong was showing off, but it had to be said, this showing off was indeed very well-done.
"Boss Wang Chong, is this really a Ten-thousand Year Soul Ring? It's not just a color change, is it?"
Ning Rongrong asked Wang Chong from the side.
"..."
Wang Chong was speechless, thinking that Ning Rongrong really lacked discernment. Shouldn't she be assisting him at this moment? Instead, she was trying to undermine him?
On the other side, in front of the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Bibi Dong also asked Wang Teng with some curiosity.
"His seventh spirit ring is a Ten-thousand Year one, how did your brother do it?"
"That's not difficult, is it? As long as your physical fitness and mental force strength meet the requirements, kill a Ten-thousand Year Spirit Beast, and you can naturally absorb it."
Wang Teng immediately replied.
"..."
Everyone present had originally intended to hear Wang Teng reveal some secrets, but they didn't expect it to be like this. Who doesn't know that? We were asking how to improve physical fitness and mental force strength, alright.
"That's like saying nothing at all!"
Bibi Dong rolled her eyes and grumbled.
"Actually, it's not that difficult. For example, if Hu Liena were to gather a full set of Spirit Bones of Ten-thousand Year or higher, it would also be possible for her to absorb a Ten-thousand Year seventh spirit ring.
Torso Spirit Bones and limb Spirit Bones enhance physical fitness, and head Spirit Bones enhance mental force strength. If the head Spirit Bone has a Spirit Ability that weakens mental force attacks, then it would be very easy."
A Level 70 quasi-Spirit Saint with six Spirit Bones of Ten-thousand Year or higher wouldn't have physical fitness inferior to a Level 90 quasi-Titled Douluo. Coupled with the mental force enhancement brought by the head Spirit Bone, it's not difficult to achieve this point.
And even if it's not possible at the seven-ring level, it would definitely be possible at the Level 80 quasi-Spirit Douluo stage.
"Tsk tsk, let alone six Ten-thousand Year Spirit Bones, even one Ten-thousand Year Spirit Bone is something ordinary people can't even dream of."
Dugu Bo, who was nearby, also grumbled. This was simply not suitable for ordinary people, and perhaps no one could even achieve it? As for those who could achieve these things, could they still be considered human?
Regardless of what was happening on Wang Teng's side, Hu Liena on the field also recovered from her shock.
"Even if you have a Ten-thousand Year Soul Ring, our Martial Soul Hall will not surrender directly!"
At this moment, Hu Liena already knew that even if their side had the Martial Soul Fusion Technique as a trump card, they couldn't defeat Wang Chong.
After all, a Ten-thousand Year Soul Ring wasn't just talk; if the increase in strength wasn't significant, it wouldn't deserve the admiration of all Spirit Masters.
As for Yan, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He had originally planned to deal with the other members of Oakland Academy first in the team battle, and then assist Hu Liena and Xie Yue to beat down the weak, but now it seemed there was no hope.
Even if the other members of Oakland Academy were weak, Martial Soul Hall couldn't defeat Wang Chong alone. He couldn't help but feel envious and jealous.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect, Boss, that you're so amazing! Not only did you advance to Spirit Saint, but you also have a Ten-thousand Year Soul Ring, not bad, not bad!"
The overly familiar Ning Rongrong immediately called him "Boss." In fact, not just Ning Rongrong, but everyone else was also radiant, not expecting Wang Chong to quietly advance to Spirit Saint, and even possess a powerful Ten-thousand Year Soul Ring.
Wang Chong twitched the corner of his mouth. He was really not used to being called "Boss." Although he and Ning Rongrong were teammates, they weren't that familiar! It felt a bit awkward.
Soon, one minute passed, and at the referee's command, the match officially began.
"Nine-tailed Charming Fox."
"Moon Blade."
"Martial Soul Fusion Technique — Charming Fox!"
Instantly, Hu Liena and Xie Yue jointly unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Technique — Charming Fox. As Charming Fox appeared, the arena was immediately filled with a pervasive red mist.
Hu Liena's Spirit: Nine-tailed Charming Fox was primarily for control, and Xie Yue's Spirit: Moon Blade was primarily for attack, but the Martial Soul Fusion Technique — Charming Fox, was led by Hu Liena.
And the effect of this Martial Soul Fusion Technique was impressive. Within the control range of Charming Fox, everyone's senses would be reduced by 50%, spirit power suppressed by 50%, and all actions delayed by 50%.
"Oh? So you two can still activate the Martial Soul Fusion Technique!"
Wang Chong suddenly realized. He hadn't expected Hu Liena and Xie Yue, the siblings, to have a Martial Soul Fusion Technique. No wonder his older brother used to say that Spirit Emperor-level strength wasn't safe. So that was why.
It was fortunate that Wang Chong had advanced to Spirit Saint now. Otherwise, if he were still a Level 62 Spirit Emperor, he really wouldn't be able to defeat Charming Fox.
Seeing the red mist spreading over, Wang Chong felt the suppression and immediately released his Domain.
"Holy War Domain!"
Instantly, everyone in Martial Soul Hall immediately found their strength suppressed by 20%, while Wang Chong himself gained a 20% increase in strength within the Domain.
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Saint Light True Body."
Wang Chong's body immediately condensed into a Martial Soul True Body composed of golden spirit power.
As the Martial Soul True Body was released, Charming Fox, led by Hu Liena, rushed forward with two Moon Blades, and the sharp Moon Blades in its hands slashed at Wang Chong's Saint Light True Body.
"Clang~! Clang~! Clang~!"
Unfortunately, Xie Yue's spirit power level held Hu Liena back. The Moon Blade's attacks were like tickling to Wang Chong, who had activated his Martial Soul True Body.
"Tsk, is this tickling?"
Seeing that the Martial Soul Fusion Technique — Charming Fox couldn't break through his defense, Wang Chong nodded with satisfaction. As expected of a Ten-thousand Year Martial Soul True Body, it was truly powerful.
"Damn it~!"
Hu Liena gritted her teeth in frustration. Her trump card was actually ineffective against Wang Chong, which was outrageous.
The two of them had fought against Spirit Saint-level experts from Spirit Hall before, but that was completely different from Wang Chong. Even if those Spirit Saints activated their Martial Soul True Body, Charming Fox still had the power to fight.
However, Wang Chong had the Holy War Domain, coupled with a divine-grade Spirit and a Ten-thousand Year seventh Spirit Ability. His combat power could already step into the threshold of the Titled Douluo level, so Charming Fox naturally couldn't contend with him.
