The three teams that advanced to the finals were all Su Ran's disciple teams:
① Peach Garden Academy.
② Tianshui Academy.
③ Plant Academy.
The finals adopted a round-robin system, with a total of three matches.
In the first match, one team drew a bye, and the other two teams engaged in a Spirit Master duel to determine the winner and loser.
In the second match, the winning team would face the team that had a bye. If the winning team won again, they would secure the championship.
If the team that had a bye won, the winning team's rank would be locked as runner-up.
In the third match, if the winning team secured the championship, the team that had a bye and the losing team would compete for the runner-up and third place.
If the winning team was determined to be the runner-up, then the team that had a bye would win the championship by defeating the losing team, and the losing team would be third place.
This was the format for the finals.
Before the finals began, Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong and Ning Fengzhi both announced the championship rewards for the finals.
The three championship Spirit Bones originally prepared by the Supreme Pontiff Palace—the Spirit Head Bone of Wisdom Condensation, the Burst Incineration Flame Right Arm Bone, and the Wind Chasing Left Leg Bone of Rapid Advance—had one of the most precious, the Spirit Head Bone of Wisdom Condensation, already been given to Peach Garden Academy as an apology reward.
Therefore, it was replaced by a slightly inferior ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone—the Green Wood Spirit Ape Left Arm Bone.
Ning Fengzhi additionally gave each member of the championship team a reward of one hundred thousand gold coin, which was clearly aimed at providing a second round of funding for Peach Garden Academy after the advancement rounds.
The internal strife among Su Ran's three disciple teams in the finals was also highly anticipated.
Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and other high-ranking leaders all wanted to know how Su Ran's own disciples would deal with the unique skills of their fellow disciples.
In the first match, Tianshui Academy had a bye, and Peach Garden Academy faced the unique skills of Plant Academy for the first time.
As sister teams, the match was a back-and-forth affair, serving as an assessment for the senior sisters to test their junior sisters.
"Junior sisters, Teacher instructed us, for the finals, to let your senior sisters see how well you've learned your recent unique skills. Your senior sisters will fight you using your advanced basic unique skills, so don't disappoint us!"
When the two junior sister teams met the Peach Garden senior sister team, it was implicitly agreed that they would only use basic unique skills and the power of their individual Spirits for the duel, without using cultivation techniques or Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Otherwise, Tianshui Academy and Plant Academy would have almost no power to resist.
Dugu Yan faced Mu Yunteng's Green Snake Whip Technique and Acupoint Tapping with her Dragon-Snake Dual Form. Her basic unique skill was countered, ending with Dugu Yan temporarily being immobilized by acupoint tapping.
Meng Yiran, using her Body Movement Crossing Yellow Springs and Undead Serpent Blade, skillfully dodged Green Vine and defeated her junior sister.
Ning Rongrong's Five-Layered Golden Bell met the Vermillion Bird Whip Technique. The Golden Bell Cover, with its complete elemental fire immunity, became the best tank in this Soul Master Competition, and she defeated Junior Sister Yao Zi with a second-tier Inch Punch.
Xiao Wu displayed the Tai Chi Two Forms, with her pair of jade-like hands, skillfully receiving the Green Bamboo Sword Glow. Mu Yunzhu had not studied swordsmanship for long, and her cleverness was not as good as Senior Sister Xiao Wu's, so she lost.
In the first match, Peach Garden Academy won.
In the second match, Tianshui Academy fought Peach Garden for the second time.
Xiao Wu performed outstandingly, once again using Tai Chi Cloud Hands to disperse the power of soft ice and frost, defeating Water Binger.
Dugu Yan entered the arena, her Dragon-Snake Dual Form directly breaking through the flowing water, shattering the illusion of Junior Sister Shui Yueer, who was immersed in the teacher's magnificent beauty.
Tianshui Academy lost, and Peach Garden Academy secured the championship.
