[Soon, the first round of the knockout stage came to an end.]
[In the second round of the knockout stage, according to the rules, the Spirit Master teams that took first place in the promotion matches from the Heaven Dou and Star Luo divisions would receive a bye, while the three seed teams would take to the field!]
[For the second round of the knockout stage, Qin Ming drew lots on behalf of the Heaven Dou Royal Team, and the opponent he drew was Blazing Academy.]
[Qin Ming shook his head slightly at this result, feeling quite disappointed in his heart.]
[Because he knew the strength of his Lord, Tang Chuan, Qin Ming actually wanted to draw a Spirit Master team from the Star Luo division as an opponent.]
[If, in the final match, two or even all three teams were from their Heaven Dou division—or more accurately, from their Heaven Dou Imperial City division...]
[That would undoubtedly bring immense glory to the Heaven Dou Empire and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family!]
[Unfortunately, it was not to be!]
[The next day, when it was time for the match between the Heaven Dou Royal Team and the Blazing Fire Team, Tang Chuan led the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Team onto the central Spirit fighting stage of the Spirit City Great Spirit Arena.]
[For this match, the Heaven Dou Royal Team's starting lineup was: Captain: Tang Chuan; Vice-Captain: Dugu Yan; and the members were Yu Tianheng, Shi Mo, Brother, Yu Feng, and Ye Lingling.]
[Among them, the cultivation level Tang Chuan displayed on the surface was a Rank 41 Spirit Ancestor, while his actual cultivation was that of a Spirit Emperor.]
[As for Dugu Yan, she was a Rank 46 Spirit Ancestor; Ye Lingling was a Rank 42 Spirit Ancestor; Yu Tianheng was a Rank 43 Spirit Ancestor; and the Brothers Shi Mo and Brother were Rank 41 Spirit Ancestors.]
[As for Yu Feng, he was a Rank 39 Spirit Elder.]
[As for the Blazing Fire Team, Huo Wushuang remained the Captain, Huo Wu the Vice-Captain, and the members were Huo Lie, Huo Yun, Huo Yu, Huo Chui, and Huo Jun respectively.]
[Among them, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang were Spirit Ancestors, while the others were all Spirit Elders.]
[After stepping onto the Spirit fighting stage, Tang Chuan led the Heaven Dou Royal Team to exchange salutes with the Blazing Fire Team in the center of the stage, each side introducing their cultivation Ranks and development paths.]
[Discovering that almost everyone on the Heaven Dou Royal Team was a Spirit Ancestor, Huo Wu's heart couldn't help but sink a little, but her heroic and beautiful face remained full of stubbornness as she spoke.]
["Heaven Dou Royal Team, your average cultivation is indeed higher than our Blazing Fire Team's."]
["But in this match, our Blazing Fire Team will not admit defeat!"]
["In this battle, do not hold back for us; there's no need to show tenderness to the fair sex. We are not like that fellow Feng Xiaotian—the Blazing Fire Team does not accept anyone taking it easy on us!"]
["In this battle, we must all go all out!"]
["Very well!"]
[Facing Huo Wu's words, a faint smile appeared on Tang Chuan's handsome face as he agreed.]
[To the side, Huo Wushuang couldn't help but feel a bit helpless, thinking to himself:]
['My dear sister! Even if we don't count that Heaven-Defying Tang Chuan, we are still no match for this Heaven Dou Royal Team.']
['If you let them take it a bit easy, we could at least lose with some dignity.']
['But you asked them not to hold back... if we lose too miserably, how are we going to explain ourselves when we go back!']
[Soon, after the host announced the start of the match...]
[In the next moment, amidst bursts of shouts and multi-colored light, the Heaven Dou Royal Team and the Blazing Fire Team both summoned their Spirits one after another, entering their Spirit Body Enhancement states.]
[For a moment, on the Heaven Dou Royal Team's side, Yu Tianheng, Shi Mo, and Brother, who stood at the very front, summoned their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and Black Tortoise Spirits for enhancement.]
[Yu Feng summoned his Windbell Bird Spirit for enhancement.]
[As for Tang Chuan, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan, they also respectively summoned their Blue Silver Emperor and Nine Heart Begonia Spirits, as well as the Bilin Poison Flood Dragon Spirit for enhancement.]
[On the other side, the Blazing Fire Team also summoned their Unicorne Fire Tyrant Dragon and Fire Shadow Spirits, as well as the Fire Crane, Fire Leopard, and Fire Star Spirits.]
[Huo Wushuang suddenly let out a roar and sprinted out rapidly, charging towards Yu Tianheng and engaging him in a fierce battle.]
[As for the Fire Leopard, he prepared to rush towards Tang Chuan, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan, but was intercepted by Shi Mo and Brother.]
[At the same time, the two Fire Crane Spirit Masters activated their flight Spirit Abilities. Two pairs of wings unfolded from their backs, and they flapped them to soar into the air, also flying towards Tang Chuan, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan.]
[Although Yu Feng intercepted one, another Fire Crane Spirit Master broke through Yu Feng's obstruction. He activated his first, second, and third Spirit Abilities, and after splitting into multiple Fire Crane Clones, the wings on his back fanned out, releasing a sky-covering firestorm that swept towards Tang Chuan, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan.]
[Facing this situation, Tang Chuan immediately executed his movement technique, Thunder Flash. While rapidly retreating, the Blue Silver Emperor in his hand grew frantically, controlling two strands of Blue Silver Emperor to wrap around the waists of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, pulling the two women back with him at high speed.]
[Just as the Fire Crane Spirit Master released the firestorm, Huo Wu suddenly released her Fire Shadow Spirit. Using the firestorm as cover, she controlled the Fire Shadow Spirit to reach Tang Chuan's back at extreme speed.]
[Immediately following that, Huo Wu and the Fire Shadow Spirit swapped positions, appearing behind Tang Chuan.]
["Third Spirit Ability: Defiant Fire Ring!"]
[As Tang Chuan was retreating, Huo Wu gave a delicate shout and first activated her third Spirit Ability.]
[A ring of crimson light centered on Huo Wu suddenly expanded, spreading outward in all directions. It instantly struck Tang Chuan, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling, knocking the three of them into the air.]
["spirit ring fusion!"]
["Fourth Spirit Ability: Huo Wu Dazzling Sun!"]
[Immediately after, Huo Wu continued to shout angrily. She first used the spirit ring fusion secret technique to merge her first, second, and third spirit rings into her fourth spirit ring.]
[Then, she activated her fourth Spirit Ability: Huo Wu Dazzling Sun!]
[Under the spirit ring fusion secret technique, the color of Huo Wu's fourth spirit ring turned deep purple, faintly verging on black, already extremely close to a 10,000-year spirit ring.]
[At the same time, the two Fire Star Spirit Masters of the Blazing Fire Team also activated their support Spirit Abilities, bestowing all their support effects onto Huo Wu's body.]
[In an instant, Huo Wu held her hands high. A massive crimson fireball condensed instantly, continuously expanding and swelling until it turned blazing white, emitting powerful energy fluctuations.]
["Go!"]
[As Tang Chuan was knocked to his highest point, Huo Wu's face flushed red as she suddenly gave a loud, delicate shout, violently thrusting the massive blazing white fireball forward, shooting it toward Tang Chuan in the air.]
[Everywhere the massive blazing white fireball passed, the air seemed to be distorted by the scorching heat.]
[After launching the massive blazing white fireball created by her fourth Spirit Ability, Huo Wu Dazzling Sun—boosted by spirit ring fusion and the support of the two Fire Star Spirit Masters...]
[Huo Wu was also very nervous in her heart, not knowing if she could blow Tang Chuan away and heavily injure him as planned.]
[One must know that when that group of black-clothed, masked bandits previously attacked Tang Chuan, there were five Titled Douluo, two Spirit Douluo, and three Spirit Saints among them, not to mention many other powerful Spirit Masters.]
[But facing such an attack, Tang Chuan was able to instantly control those two Spirit Douluo and three Spirit Saints, as well as many Spirit Emperor, Spirit King, and Spirit Ancestor level Spirit Masters, and he even killed a Titled Douluo later on.]
[Such talent and strength could simply be called a Prodigy!]
[If they conducted a normal Team Spirit Fight, their Blazing Fire Team would definitely lose for sure!]
[Therefore, Huo Wu's plan was to have the members of the Blazing Fire Team tie down the other members of the Heaven Dou Royal Team.]
[One Fire Crane Spirit Master would rely on his flight advantage to use a Spirit Ability to force Tang Chuan back.]
[She herself would then take the opportunity to use her first Spirit Ability, Shadow Swap, which she had kept hidden for years, to swap positions with her Fire Shadow Spirit and launch her strongest attack from behind Tang Chuan!]
[This way, there might still be a possibility of victory!]
