After the matches ended that day, Wang Li, who had displayed the Soul King level but had not made a move, became the focus of attention for everyone.
So, on the third day of the competition!
The Red-Clothed Archbishop shouted loudly:
"Next match: the Tiandou Royal Team versus the Xingluo Royal Team, both teams to the stage!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the arena erupted. As two of the seeded teams, the Tiandou Royal Team and the Xingluo Royal Team were facing each other on the third day itself. This match was sure to be spectacular.
Wang Li said indifferently:
"It looks like I'll have to take action this time. Their Soul Fusion Technique is my responsibility. As for the other members of the Xingluo Royal Team, that's up to you to handle."
Yu Tianheng's expression was resolute. He had his pride too and did not want to be a passive winner. In a deep voice, he said:
"Don't worry, leave it to us. No one will interfere with your match!"
As the two teams took the stage, the audience fell silent, eyes fixed on them.
Davis and Zhu Zhuyun looked very displeased. It was obvious they were being used to test Wang Li's strength as a Soul King.
But at this point, complaining was useless. They still had a chance to win. Their combined Soul Fusion Technique, the Nether White Tiger, was a lethal move capable of challenging a Soul King.
The Red-Clothed Archbishop shouted again:
"Both sides, salute and summon your Soul Weapons!"
After the routine was complete, both sides summoned their Soul Weapons. Davis had level 47 soul power, Zhu Zhuyun had level 46. Their soul power erupted,white and black intertwining, forming a vortex.
From the vortex, a seven- to eight-meter-long Nether White Tiger emerged. Facing Wang Li, an unknown Soul King, they unleashed their ultimate move immediately.
Wang Li stepped forward proactively, using his first soul skill. Blue Silver Grass around him surged violently in the wind, baring its fangs and claws, sweeping across the arena like a tidal wave.
The others each engaged their own opponents. The hundred-meter-wide arena could easily accommodate everyone's fierce clashes.
"Roar!"
The Nether White Tiger roared, tearing through the sweeping vines with sharp teeth and claws, as if the Blue Silver Vines were giant serpents.
But now, the Blue Silver Vines were not something that could be torn apart easily; otherwise, all of Wang Li's previous efforts would have been wasted.
In the blink of an eye, the Nether White Tiger was trapped in the vines. Wang Li's lips curled, and he activated his fourth soul skill.
"Woo!"
Each vine burst with draining power. The Nether White Tiger's soul power spiraled out of control. Davis and Zhu Zhuyun's faces changed dramatically as the tiger howled in pain.
However, with their extensive combat experience, the two immediately deactivated their Soul Fusion Technique and escaped the entanglement.
To outsiders, this seemed unbelievable. Why would such a powerful Nether White Tiger voluntarily cancel its fusion technique?
But Bibi Dong, watching from the Pope's platform, noticed the clue and thought:
"The resilient vines seem to have a soul power-draining ability. Indeed tricky. This must be the genius that Qian Renxue valued. Let's see what other abilities you have!"
This match had originally been arranged by Bibi Dong, so notions of fairness were nonexistent. If anything, fairness existed only on the stage, where it was a true test of strength.
In the arena, Davis and Zhu Zhuyun, having escaped the vine's grasp, found that the Nether White Tiger not only failed to help them but also drained half of their soul power. Furious and shocked, they immediately launched a ranged attack at Wang Li's real body upon hitting the ground.
Davis's fourth soul ring lit up:
"Fourth soul skill: White Tiger Starfall!"
Zhu Zhuyun's fourth soul ring lit up:
"Fourth soul skill: Nether Moon-Splitting Slash!"
The Nether White Tiger was powerful, but to Wang Li, it was just a target.
Without the tiger, Davis and Zhu Zhuyun,even as top-tier Soul Masters,were no match for Wang Li's skills.
Wang Li waved his hand, activating his third soul skill. The vines gained a metallic sheen, twisting with afterimages. They shattered Starfall, crushed Moon-Splitting Slash, and surged forward, blocking all escape routes, finally colliding with Davis and Zhu Zhuyun.
Pfft! Pfft!
The Blue Silver Vines, enhanced by a 50% attribute boost, slammed into them. Both coughed up blood and were sent flying, collapsing to the ground, unable to continue fighting.
The entire arena was shocked. Bibi Dong thought in surprise:
"In just about a minute, he neutralized the Nether White Tiger and then used absolute power to subdue Davis and Zhu Zhuyun. This strength is on par with a high-level Soul King. And his age…"
"Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo… he actually possesses such skill. Training such a successor… since Qian Renxue values him, she can handle it."
With Davis and Zhu Zhuyun defeated, the Xingluo Royal Team completely lost morale. The remaining members were eliminated one by one.
This time, the Tiandou Royal Team achieved a total victory over the Xingluo Royal Team.
Wang Li defeated the Nether White Tiger in just one minute, without even using his ancient soul skill, proving his terrifying strength and earning the loudest cheers.
With a Soul King as powerful as Wang Li, everyone knew the champion of this continental high-level Soul Master competition would come from either the Wu Hun Hall Team or the Tiandou Royal Team.
Day Four of the Competition
Today, the Tiandou Royal Team faced the last academy from the Xingluo Empire. Their strength was decent but easily eliminated.
By this stage, the final three teams were decided: Wu Hun Hall Team, Tiandou Royal Team, and Blazing Fire Academy Team. This was understandable.
The Xingluo Royal Team had already been eliminated by Tiandou. The strong Shenfeng Academy Team, led by Feng Xiaotian, had never won against the brother-and-sister duo, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang.
Day Five of the Competition
In the final three-team battle, each member would take turns fighting. The team with the last Soul Master standing on the stage would advance first, while the remaining two teams would fight for the last qualifying spot.
When Huo Wu of Blazing Fire Academy took the stage, she loudly declared:
"Tiandou Royal Team, remember, I am Huo Wu of Blazing Fire Academy. For this battle, Blazing Fire Academy concedes."
"We are not doing this to make it easy for you to face Wu Hun Hall Team. We want you to exhaust each other so we can reap the benefits later."
Soon after, the Wu Hun Hall Team, seemingly under some instruction, also announced their voluntary concession.
With this, the Tiandou Royal Team successfully advanced!
Next, the Wu Hun Hall Team and Blazing Fire Academy Team would compete for the final spot.
As both teams took the stage, the Wu Hun Hall Team replaced three of their original seven members, radiating a fierce aura of strength.
After Soul Weapon possession, three Soul Kings shocked the audience,Wu Hun Hall's Golden Generation: Huliena, Xieyue, and Yan.
Huliena and Xieyue activated their Soul Fusion Technique, Demon Charm. Blood-red mist enveloped the arena, reducing the Blazing Fire Academy Team's senses by 50%, suppressing their soul power by 50%, and slowing all actions by 50%.
Even though the Blazing Fire Academy Team was strong, they were easily defeated, sprayed with blood as they were thrown out of the mist.
Finally, the mist dissipated, and the battle was decided.
