As their voices faded,
a golden beam of light, even more dazzling and solid than before, shot up from their bodies, carrying a terrifying aura that was in no way inferior to Yaomei's, and even several times stronger.
Like a waking emperor, it descended powerfully upon the plaza in front of the Supreme Pontiff Palace!
The next second, a golden dragon spear, cast entirely of gold, ancient in form yet exuding endless majesty and destructive power, materialized from the core of the golden light's eruption.
It then transformed into a golden lightning bolt, tearing through the sky, and shot towards Yaomei's location!
Where the golden dragon spear passed, the air let out a piercing wail.
That instant was as brilliant as eternity, leaving behind a hazy distortion and dazzling colors, containing a terrifying power that seemed capable of piercing through heaven and earth and judging all living beings!
"What?!"
Witnessing this scene, Bibi Dong abruptly stood up, her deep, abyss-like eyes filled with extreme shock and disbelief.
"This... this is a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?!"
With her knowledge and cultivation, how could she not sense the power contained within that golden dragon spear, a power far exceeding ordinary Martial Soul Fusion Skills?
It was a light that made even her heart palpitate, a light capable of judging destiny!
Bibi Dong had no idea that Tianxing Academy was hiding such a terrifying trump card!
In fact, only four people in the Spirit Hall had truly witnessed Tang Chuan and Xiao Rui'er perform their Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Thousand Weight, Jiang Mo, Ghost Leopard, and Devil Bear.
After Thousand Weight and Jiang Mo, the two Elders, failed their canyon mission, they returned directly to the Hall of Worship to report to Qian Daoliu and did not report the matter in detail to Bibi Dong.
Ghost Leopard Douluo was first severely injured by the Red King, then hit by an enraged Tang Hao's heavy hammer.
When Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo brought him back, he was already on his last breath and remains in a coma to this day, unable to transmit any effective information.
As for Devil Bear Douluo, his mysterious disappearance and the unbelievable rumors completely cut off this channel of information regarding the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Therefore, Bibi Dong was unaware of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Standing up with her were Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, their shock no less than Bibi Dong's, their expressions instantly turning solemn.
Just as the golden dragon spear, imbued with the power to judge destiny, was about to strike Yaomei, who was in a Fusion state within the red mist,
Bibi Dong, standing on the high platform, vanished without a trace!
The next instant, she appeared out of thin air on the arena like a Gui Mei, then used her body to block between Yaomei and the golden dragon spear!
At the same time, a terrifying pressure, enough to make heaven and earth change color,
like a volcano dormant for ten thousand years suddenly erupting, instantly swept across the entire Supreme Pontiff Palace plaza!
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!
A full nine spirit rings spiraled up from Bibi Dong's feet, especially the last one, which originated from Tang Chuan's hundred-thousand-year spirit ring but was even deeper and more immense.
That blood-red hundred-thousand-year spirit ring shone with dazzling light,
directly stinging the eyes of many low-level Soul Masters present!
Under this absolute pressure, the entire plaza instantly fell silent, many people felt their breathing freeze. Almost all Soul Masters, including the contestants on the arena, felt their Souls tremble; that was the instinctive fear of low-tier Soul Masters facing a supreme existence.
Facing the rapidly approaching golden dragon spear, Bibi Dong's expression was icy cold. She merely raised her right hand, adorned with a valuable gem ring, and seemingly nonchalantly pointed at the spear tip.
There was no earth-shshattering explosion, no roar of clashing energy.
The moment her fingertip touched the golden dragon spear,
"Crack... Bang!"
The golden dragon spear, formed by the Martial Soul Fusion Skill and powerful enough to threaten a Spirit Saint or even a Spirit Douluo, let out a mournful cry of unbearable stress, instantly shattering inch by inch like fragile glass, finally transforming into countless scattered golden light particles that vanished into thin air.
With a mere flick of her hand, she effortlessly dismantled this Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which was capable of turning the tide of battle!
The next second, Bibi Dong slowly withdrew her finger, her cold gaze sweeping over the solemn Tang Chuan and Xiao Rui'er opposite her, finally landing on Xie Yue and Hu Liena, who had been forced to disengage their Martial Soul Fusion Skill due to her sudden intervention, their faces pale and still shaken.
The golden light particles from the shattered golden dragon spear had not yet completely dissipated into the air.
Bibi Dong slowly placed her right hand, which had just casually shattered the Dragon Spear, behind her back. Concealed by the wide sleeve of her Supreme Pontiff robe, no one noticed that her seemingly unyielding finger trembled slightly at this moment, a faint tingling sensation emanating from its tip.
"This Martial Soul Fusion Skill actually contains such peculiar power?" A hint of surprise flashed in her heart, but Bibi Dong's expression remained like ten-thousand-year-old ice, revealing nothing.
"If both of them advance to the Spirit Douluo level, I'm afraid..."
At this moment, after a brief silence, the entire plaza was instantly engulfed by a huge uproar and discussion!
"Her Excellency the Supreme Pontiff... she actually entered the fray herself?"
"This... what is this? The competition isn't over yet!"
"Is Spirit Hall unable to lose, resorting to forcibly interfering with the competition?"
"Oh my god, is Spirit Hall's honor to be maintained in such a way?"
Countless gazes of doubt, incomprehension, and even a hint of indignation were cast towards Bibi Dong on the arena. Spirit Hall's consistently cultivated image of fairness and authority seemed to have developed a crack at this moment.
"Her Excellency the Supreme Pontiff! What do you intend to do?!"
Amidst the chaos, a green streak of light, like lightning, shot onto the arena.
Dugu Bo's face was ashen, and he unhesitatingly stood in front of Tang Chuan and Xiao Rui'er, his dark green pupils fixed on Bibi Dong, with wisps of emerald green poisonous mist appearing around him, ready to fight to the death if words failed.
Facing the uproar of the crowd and Dugu Bo's hostile stance, Bibi Dong's gaze, however, passed over Dugu Bo and finally landed on the calm-faced Tang Chuan and Xiao Rui'er behind him.
She ignored Dugu Bo's questioning.
Instead, with a calm tone that betrayed no emotion, she slowly spoke:
"Very good, you two... very good."
"Your Martial Soul Fusion Skill truly surprised me."
At this point, Bibi Dong paused, as if savoring that momentary clash, "It also allowed me... to personally experience the strength of your Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
These words left everyone baffled, not understanding her intentions.
However, the next moment, Bibi Dong made a move that left everyone dumbfounded.
She slowly raised her left hand, adorned with the gem ring, and gently tapped her scepter on the ground. Her clear and authoritative voice instantly resounded throughout the entire venue:
"Given the astonishing strength displayed by the Tianxing Academy team, especially the power of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, this Supreme Pontiff rules that Spirit Hall Academy has lost."
"This Supreme Pontiff declares that the ultimate champion of this Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament is — Tianxing Academy!"
Boom!!!!
This announcement was like pouring a ladle of cold water into a boiling oil pot, instantly causing an unprecedented sensation!
The entire venue erupted! Exclamations, doubts, and discussions soared to the sky!
No one had expected the competition to conclude so abruptly, in such a manner!
The Spirit Hall team hadn't even truly made their move.
The Supreme Pontiff herself had actually stepped in to declare the opponent's victory?
Not to mention Hu Liena and the other two couldn't believe their ears; even the other Elders of Spirit Hall on the high platform were shocked, because in their opinion, both sides had Martial Soul Fusion Skills, so theoretically, they should have fought to determine the victor, right?
Upon hearing this news, Yan, who was not far away, immediately took a step forward and said with a look of defiance:
"Her Excellency the Supreme Pontiff, how could they have won? It should clearly be us who won, right?"
