Tang Hao's display of power and ruthless methods, while not scaring Yu Xiaogang, had scared the other competitors half to death.
They were all legitimate Spirit Ancestors, but they lacked the ability of Yu Xiaogang to resist the attacks of a Spirit Emperor, let alone a Genius Spirit Emperor.
Consequently, basically all the teams secretly decided in their hearts that if they were unlucky enough to encounter Tang Hao, they would just concede directly.
Losing the match was better than being crippled or maimed by Tang Hao in one go; that would only be their own loss.
Just like that, the first round of the competition ended.
By the second round, eighteen teams remained.
The rules for this round were that among the eighteen teams, the top two from the promotion tournament would get a bye, and the other sixteen teams would compete for eight spots.
Thus, the Spirit Hall Academy Second Team where Yu Xiaogang was, and the Iron Fire Advanced Spirit Master Academy where Tang Hao was, both received byes.
Seeing that Tang Hao received a bye, all the competitors breathed a sigh of relief.
At least in this round, they wouldn't have to helplessly concede.
Next was the third round.
There were a total of ten teams remaining in this round.
Yu Xiaogang drew their old opponent from the Heaven Dou Competition Zone, the Divine Wind Academy Team.
The Divine Wind Academy, having been drawn, felt exceptionally uncomfortable.
Throughout this Spirit Master Competition, they had been living under the shadow of the Spirit Hall Academy Second Team.
From the Qualifiers and the promotion tournament to the current finals.
Clearly, their lineup was quite good.
But the Spirit Hall Academy Second Team always stood above them, and now, they were even going to personally end their journey in this competition.
They were unwilling to accept this.
So, when the two sides fought, the members of the Divine Wind Academy attacked frantically, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
Unfortunately, no matter how frantic they were, it was of no use in the face of absolute strength.
In the end, the Divine Wind Academy was defeated with regret.
With that, the third round ended, and the top six were decided.
The top six were the Spirit Hall Team, the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Team, the Star Luo Royal Academy Team, the Spirit Hall Academy Second Team, the Iron Fire Advanced Spirit Master Academy Team, and one team that had very good luck, having only drawn weak opponents.
The fourth round began.
The Spirit Hall Team faced the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Team, and the Spirit Hall Academy Second Team faced the Star Luo Royal Academy Team.
Every match in these two battles was highly anticipated by the audience.
After all, among these four teams, three were seeded teams. Along the way, the strength they displayed was convincing, making people sigh that they were indeed worthy of being seeded teams.
And the Spirit Hall Academy Second Team, where Yu Xiaogang was, although not a seeded team, was one of the most talked-about teams in this Spirit Master Competition.
There was simply too much to talk about regarding this team.
The son of Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, the Disciple of Angel Douluo Qian Xunji, the holder of a Thousand-Year First Soul Ring and a Ten-Thousand-Year Third Soul Ring, the most special support combination...
Mentioning this team, the audience who had been watching the battles could really find countless topics.
Plus, there was the upcoming battle between Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang representing the honor of their respective Sects, so no one thought Yu Xiaogang and his team would lose to the Star Luo Royal Academy Team.
And the facts did not exceed anyone's expectations.
The first match of the top six was between the Spirit Hall Team and the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Team.
Among the Spirit Hall Team, the seven members on the field were all familiar faces to Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong.
Especially for Yu Xiaogang; ever since he became a Spirit Ancestor, no one in the Elite Class had been his match during sparring sessions.
Therefore, the Spirit Hall Team understood earlier than any other team just how deep the waters were in this Spirit Master Competition.
The members of the Spirit Hall Team had once thought about pulling Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong into their team; that way, the championship would surely be theirs.
To this end, the captain and vice-captain of the Spirit Hall Team were even willing to step down.
Unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang was not willing to add flowers to brocade, and since Bibi Dong always followed Yu Xiaogang, this matter was left unsettled.
Originally, the members of the Spirit Hall Team were thinking that even if they couldn't beat the Second Team, they could still compete for the runner-up spot.
Who knew that now a Tang Hao had popped out.
The day they learned and confirmed this information, the seven main members of the entire Spirit Hall Team were numb.
Among all the members of the Spirit Hall Team in previous years, could anyone be more miserable than them?
No!
Unfortunately, no matter how numb they were, the match still had to go on.
So, the members of the Spirit Hall Team could only hope not to encounter Yu Xiaogang or Tang Hao's teams too early.
Otherwise, they would truly become a joke.
Fortunately, until now, they hadn't encountered the opponents they didn't want to meet. As long as they won this match, they would advance to the top three.
Regardless, at least the top three was secured.
Truly a joyous occasion.
Just like that, after a battle that met the audience's expectations, the Spirit Hall Team achieved victory and was the first to advance to the top three.
Next was the Iron Fire Advanced Spirit Master Academy Team where Tang Hao was, against another team.
That team was only able to make it this far because of pure luck; they had encountered relatively weak opponents during the draws.
Now facing Tang Hao, they had absolutely no chance of winning.
Therefore, that team didn't hesitate at all and directly conceded.
Next was the final battle.
The Spirit Hall Academy Second Team faced the Star Luo Royal Academy Team.
"I didn't expect us to face the Star Luo Royal Academy Team. I wonder how powerful the Hell White Tiger is when unleashed,"
Bibi Dong was a bit curious.
The Star Luo Royal Academy Team had had an easy journey so far. Even when facing teams led by other princes and their partners, the captain and vice-captain of the Star Luo Royal Academy hadn't used the Hell White Tiger.
The gap was so large that it really made people sigh.
"By the way, how is your Martial Soul Fusion Skill coming along?"
Bibi Dong sighed with emotion, then turned to look at Yu Xiaogang.
"I can't find the direction for the Fusion at all,"
Yu Xiaogang shrugged, looking as if he didn't care much.
"Is that so? I was looking forward to seeing what Little Dragon would look like under the boost of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
"If the main part is Little Dragon, would Little Dragon grow a pair of owl wings?"
"It couldn't possibly be based on that guy Flender's owl as the core, right?"
Bibi Dong simulated the image of Little Dragon growing a pair of feathered wings in her mind and instantly felt this combination was exceptionally weird.
However, what Bibi Dong didn't know was that her words seemed to have given Yu Xiaogang a flash of inspiration.
"The main part is Little Dragon, using Little Dragon as the core—why was I so blinded before?"
Yu Xiaogang slapped his own head.
When attempting the Martial Soul Fusion Skill before, Yu Xiaogang had always followed the normal practical method of Martial Soul Fusion Skills, cooperating with Flender himself.
But he was clearly different from ordinary Spirit Masters.
Little Dragon could exist independently of him.
And Little Dragon's body was entirely composed of Soul Power.
In other words, in reality, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill between him and Flender could actually allow Flender to cooperate directly with Little Dragon alone.
"I had originally thought this would take a long time to complete, or might even be impossible, but I didn't expect such a turning point."
