For the next few days, Kai simply stayed at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. This allowed him to Cultivate his Killing Intent under Chen Xin's guidance and also attempt to break through his spirit power that had accumulated over the past year.
Finally, on the last day, Kai's spirit power successfully Broke through to level sixty-seven.
"We should head back. Tomorrow is the Soul Master Tournament's grand finals," Kai said to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
The next day, as the remaining participating teams arrived in Spirit City, it signaled the true beginning of the grand finals. Due to the special bye mechanism, there was nothing particularly noteworthy in the first round of matches.
At this time, the Spirit Hall Team, including Kai and six others, all arrived in the competition area.
Hu Liena and her two companions were still at level fifty-nine. It seemed that even with the help of Gods Domain, they would need some time to accumulate before they could Breakthroug the threshold of level sixty.
Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Dugu Yan's spirit power had also not Broke through. The only one who had Broke through these past few days was probably Kai, whose spirit power had increased by one level.
"With our strength, do we even need to worry?" Yan asked casually, lounging on the sofa.
"Among those participating, only one has Broke through to Soul King. Besides him, there are no other Soul Kings. This kind of competition is truly boring."
Xie Yue agreed, saying, "We still have to thank Kai's Gods Domain. Otherwise, the three of us would at most reach level fifty-three."
Hu Liena chuckled, "Gods Domain is also related to your talent, so you don't need to thank me." Kai shook his head.
"I wasn't here this past year. How is Shrek doing now?" Kai asked with interest.
The other six were stunned, then Zhu Zhuqing explained, "Shrek swept aside its opponents and also entered the grand finals."
Kai nodded, "That's not unexpected. So, what's their strength like?"
"Teacher also told me about the Shrek Academy team. It's said that their captain, Dai Mubai, recently Broke through to level forty-five spirit power. As for the others, there's nothing much to pay attention to." Hu Liena laughed.
"Besides Dai Mubai, there's also Ma Hongjun and Oscar. Ma Hongjun is only level thirty-five, and Oscar is level thirty-eight. The other three are all Soul Elder level."
Kai was surprised, but not unexpectedly.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar had both relied on the Immortal Herb given to them by Tang San to Breakthroug to Soul Ancestor.
Now without the Immortal Herb, being a Soul Elder was normal.
"What about the last one?" Kai asked.
"The last one is the one I just mentioned, Tang San, the only one who has reached the Soul King Realm," Xie Yue interjected.
Kai smiled, "Oh? Tang San became a Soul King?"
He was a little curious. Tang San was taken away by Tang Hao, and as a result, he achieved a greater improvement than in the original story?
This made him wonder what Tang San had experienced in this short year to transform from a Soul Elder to a Soul King.
"Not only that, Tang San's fourth spirit ring is a ten thousand year spirit ring. The Shrek Academy was able to sweep through the competition precisely because of him and Dai Mubai, and Tang San also has twin spirits." Xie Yue continued.
Kai smiled, "We'll find out what their true strength is when we meet them."
"Let's prepare for our first match. Our opponent seems to be the Heaven Dou Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy."
Dugu Yan, who was beside him, was stunned.
Seeing this, Kai said, "Oh right, should I go easy on Yu Tianheng later?"
Dugu Yan was silent for a moment, then shook her head, "No need. I have already joined Spirit Hall, and I have no more ties with him. Since he is an opponent in the competition, I will naturally go all out."
There was still some time before the battle between the Spirit Hall Team and the Heaven Dou Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy.
In the spectator stands, Kai and Zhu Zhuqing arrived. At this moment, the match taking place below was between Shrek Academy and the Star Luo Empire team. In the arena, Kai saw a woman who looked strikingly similar to Zhu Zhuqing.
"That's your sister, isn't it?" Kai asked.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, "That's her. My sister has been sending people to hunt me down all the way here."
"With your current strength, even if you encounter Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Weisi's combined efforts, you can defeat them. If you were to face the Hell White Tiger, that would be a bit more troublesome."
Kai held Zhu Zhuqing's hand and looked at Dai Mubai below. At the same time, Kai also glanced at Tang San.
Hmm, indeed, without the Blue Silver King, this kid still looked as ordinary as before.
So, his Blue Silver Grass was still Blue Silver Grass. How exactly did he achieve Soul King strength?
Then, Dai Mubai below seemed to sense something and looked up, only to see Kai holding Zhu Zhuqing's hand. Kai even waved at him, revealing his pearly white teeth.
"This damn guy!"
This blatant display of flaunting immediately made Dai Mubai's eyes turn red, and a powerful Killing Intent erupted from him, startling even Tang San beside him: "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing. We must defeat that so-called Spirit Hall Team," Dai Mubai growled, his body erupting with monstrous Fighting Spirit, and his eyes filled with Killing Intent as he looked at Dai Weisi, who was disdainfully looking at him.
Soon, the match began.
To Kai's surprise, Tang San did not use his Blue Silver Grass; instead, he directly brought out the Clear Sky Hammer.
"Huh?"
Kai was puzzled. Could it be that this kid had switched to Cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer?
That's not right. Tang Hao took him away precisely to Cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer, and he even added a spirit ring?
"Good, good, that's indeed a surprise," Kai laughed heartily.
Five pitch-black ten thousand year spirit rings on Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer shocked the entire audience. Not far away, Yu Xiaogang's face was filled with excitement, as if he felt he finally had a Disciple who would make a name for himself.
"Five ten thousand year spirit rings. No wonder he was able to sweep through the competition. But being so high-profile, Tang Hao isn't planning to pretend anymore. This is clearly a declaration of war against Spirit Hall."
Kai lost interest in continuing to watch their match and left with Zhu Zhuqing.
"Tang San's strength seems to have greatly improved," Zhu Zhuqing said.
"Just a clown. Do you think he can be stronger than me?" Kai laughed.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Kai helplessly, "Of course he's not as powerful as you."
Praised by Zhu Zhuqing, Kai was in a good mood. He then took Zhu Zhuqing back to the preparation room. Their first match was about to begin soon. He wondered how surprised those people below would be when they saw the seven Soul Kings.
