"Spirit Bone, it's actually a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone!"
Upon seeing the light emitted by the Spirit Bone, most people present revealed greedy expressions.
A ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone—this was a treasure that even a Title Douluo might not possess.
Possessing a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone not only meant gaining an additional ten-thousand-year spirit skill, but it also brought tremendous enhancement to one's body and spirit power.
Some people who were stuck at bottlenecks could even use the spirit power feedback from a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone to break through to a higher level.
"This Spirit Bone is quite good."
Shui Wuhen's eyes lit up as he thought to himself.
Judging from the aura emitted by the three Spirit Bones in front of him, they were clearly much stronger than the ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone he had obtained from the evil soul master. Without a doubt, they were top-tier even among ten-thousand-year Spirit Bones.
Suddenly, Shui Wuhen glanced at his younger sister beside him and noticed that Shui Bing'er was also staring at the Spirit Bones above Bibi Dong's head, her eyes filled with longing.
Seeing this, Shui Wuhen sighed inwardly. "Forget it. Whether Spirit Hall will honor it or not, I'll win the championship first."
Originally, Shui Wuhen had been considering whether to reveal all his trump cards. After all, if his full strength were exposed, he might become a target in the near future, which could put him in danger.
But after seeing the longing in Shui Bing'er's eyes, he made up his mind.
With Articuno around, escaping would not be a problem no matter what. If Spirit Hall or other forces were truly shameless, he wouldn't hesitate to take revenge afterward.
Given the current situation, he was confident that within ten years he could step into the realm of Title Douluo. When that time came, any force that had acted against him would be settled with.
"These three Spirit Bones are rewards for the champion team. Only the team that wins the championship can obtain them."
After surveying everyone's reactions, Bibi Dong slowly spoke, "Now, I announce that this morning's individual matches officially begin!"
As Bibi Dong's voice fell, the matches began in an orderly fashion under the coordination of the staff.
The top three competition was an individual elimination format. Each team would send one member at a time to fight in turns, and the team with the last remaining fighter would directly secure a place in the finals.
The two losing teams would then enter the losers' bracket to compete for the remaining finals spot.
This kind of alternative wheel battle was undoubtedly advantageous for Tianshui Academy. In terms of individual strength, with Shui Wuhen present, they feared no one.
And if even Shui Wuhen couldn't win, then there was no point in fighting at all.
"Wuhen, it all depends on you now."
Shui Yue'er said with a hint of चिंता as she looked at Shui Wuhen.
Even she hadn't expected this year's tournament to develop to such a level.
Three Soul Kings, two Soul Emperors, and a Spirit Hall Saintess of unknown depth.
The presence of these individuals rendered the Soul Sect-level students, who used to be the main force, almost useless. In the end, everything depended on each side's top combat power.
Shui Wuhen glanced at Shui Yue'er and nodded. "I'll do my best."
After Feng Xiaotian stepped down, Shui Wuhen's only real opponent from start to finish was Qian Renxue.
As long as he could defeat Qian Renxue, everything else would be no problem. Hu Liena and Xie Yue's martial soul fusion skill couldn't even defeat Feng Xiaotian, let alone him.
During the draw, Shrek was lucky enough to receive a bye, so the first match was between Tianshui Academy and Spirit Hall Academy.
"I'll go first, Dean!"
Considering it was the first match, and to boost morale, Shui Bing'er volunteered and quickly stepped onto the stage.
On Spirit Hall Academy's side, they sent out a level 46 assault-type Spirit Master, only one level lower than the current Shui Bing'er.
From this alone, one could see how deep Spirit Hall's foundation was. Shui Bing'er's level was already the highest among all participants except Shui Wuhen and Feng Xiaotian, far surpassing the captains of ordinary teams.
Yet Spirit Hall could casually send out a member whose level was close to hers. Although age played a factor, it still demonstrated the strength of Spirit Hall's talent reserves.
After some fighting, Shui Bing'er easily secured victory. With her near-perfect spirit ring configuration, unless she was countered or overwhelmingly outmatched, it was almost impossible for her to lose.
Next came Shui Bing'er's performance. On the stage, she defeated six opponents in a row from Spirit Hall and Shrek Academy, only losing when she faced Hu Liena.
"Little girl, you're still a bit inexperienced. Let your brother come up."
After defeating Shui Bing'er, Hu Liena said with a smile.
Hearing this, Shui Wuhen immediately stood up. Ice wings spread behind his back, and with a gentle flap, he turned into a streak of icy-blue light and arrived beside Shui Bing'er.
"Brother, I lost."
Seeing that it was Shui Wuhen, Shui Bing'er, her face slightly pale from exhausting her spirit power, spoke with a hint of disappointment.
At this moment, Shui Bing'er began to doubt herself. She couldn't even defeat Hu Liena—could she really be considered a genius?
But Shui Wuhen simply picked her up and smiled. "You've already done very well. As for Hu Liena, I believe you'll surpass her soon."
When Shui Wuhen said this, he was completely confident. After the tournament, he would train together with Shui Bing'er. At that time, surpassing Hu Liena would only be a matter of time.
After sending Shui Bing'er back to Tianshui Academy's area and letting Shui Yue'er and the others take care of her, Shui Wuhen returned to the stage.
His appearance immediately drew the attention of the spectators.
In the finals, Tianshui Academy had won too easily in previous matches, and Shui Wuhen's strength had not truly been displayed.
Now that his opponent was Hu Liena of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, although she was unlikely to be his match, she could at least force him to reveal something. Many people were eagerly anticipating what kind of performance Shui Wuhen would deliver.
On the high platform, Bibi Dong also observed Shui Wuhen.
Among the Golden Generation, the one she valued most was Hu Liena, and her expectations for her were the highest.
However, according to previous intelligence, this young man named Shui Wuhen was even more formidable.
Not only had he reached the Soul Emperor level at the age of sixteen, but he had also defeated Feng Xiaotian, who was also a Soul Emperor, in earlier battles. Moreover, he possessed several self-created spirit skills.
It could be said that this young man named Shui Wuhen had talent no less than her own. As long as he did not die prematurely, he would almost certainly become a Title Douluo—no, a Super Douluo!
A faint smile appeared on Bibi Dong's lips as she watched Shui Wuhen on the stage, curiosity flickering in her eyes.
"Let me see just what kind of abilities this person who has caught my daughter's attention truly has."
