"Is this all Wuji Academy sent? A young person like you?" The Cardinal of the Spirit Hall, Colkin, swept his gaze across the room as he entered, his eyes stopping on Yun Yi Bai. His youthful appearance stood out, and Colkin's tone reflected his dissatisfaction, feeling that Wuji Academy wasn't taking the competition seriously.
Having been stationed in Wuhun City for a long time, Colkin didn't know Yun Yi Bai. He had only heard rumors of a young Soul King with a 10,000-year soul ring, but he didn't know which participant it was.
However, Colkin was not as rigid as some of the other Cardinals in the Spirit Hall. Although he, like many, followed Bibi Dong's leadership, his personality wasn't overly domineering.
"Forget it. Let's just draw the lots," Colkin sighed, not wanting to stir things up further during this moment.
With nothing unusual happening, Yun Yi Bai felt slightly relieved. At this moment, he realized that not all Spirit Hall members were arrogant or oppressive.
Soon, the results of the first-round matchups were drawn.
Wuji Academy would face Xingluo Royal Academy, Shrek Academy would face Chi Huo Academy, Spirit Hall would face Tiandou Royal Academy, and Thunder Academy would face Tian Shui Academy.
"Boss, tell us, who are our opponents in the first round?" Oscar asked eagerly after seeing Yun Yi Bai return. They had already finished their tour of the area.
"Xingluo Royal Academy!" Yun Yi Bai said, taking out a dossier from his storage soul guide. Since Xingluo Royal Academy was the seed team from the Xingluo Empire on the opposite end of the Tiandou Empire, they weren't too familiar with them.
"Xingluo Royal Academy consists entirely of Soul Sect members, led by the crown prince of Xingluo Empire…"
He read the details:
Xingluo Royal Academy Members:
Davis: Captain of the Xingluo Royal Battle Team, Martial Soul: Evil Eyed White Tiger, Soul Power: Level 48, an assault-type battle soul sect.
Zhu Zhuyun: Martial Soul: Specter Spirit Cat, Soul Power: Level 47, a speed-type battle soul sect. She and Davis can perform the Wuhun Fusion Technique, Specter White Tiger.
Ying Wei: Martial Soul: Expanding Water Buffalo, Soul Power: Level 44, an assault-type battle soul sect.
Tang Hongning: Martial Soul: Fierce Thunder Wolf, Soul Power: Level 43, a speed-type battle soul sect.
Li Yang: Martial Soul: Reflective Mirror, Soul Power: Level 42, a speed-type battle soul sect.
Dong Hui: Martial Soul: Supreme Water, Soul Power: Level 40, a support-type battle soul sect.
Yang Mingxin: Martial Soul: Supreme Water, Soul Power: Level 40, also a support-type battle soul sect.
The next day, the final round of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament officially began.
The first match was Wuji Academy versus Xingluo Royal Academy.
"Let the match begin!" With the referee's command, this much-anticipated battle finally commenced.
The moment the match began, Davis activated his martial soul. Soul rings flashed as a silver-white shield suddenly appeared around his body, a soul skill: White Tiger Protection Barrier.
The Evil-Eyed White Tiger Martial Soul from the Dai family of Xingluo Royalty and the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan were both considered the top beast martial souls on the continent. The techniques of both clans were similar, as these three techniques had been honed through generations of refinement.
Davis and Zhu Zhuyun made their move.
On the other side, Wuji Academy also made its advance.
Du Guren's poison was extremely powerful, but it was a double-edged sword, as it could hurt their teammates just as much as their opponents.
Yun Yi Bai activated his martial soul, with golden lightning swirling around him.
The battle between the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Evil Eyed White Tiger reignited once more.
However, this time, the match was anything but evenly matched.
At the finals, Yun Yi Bai was determined to end this quickly.
Yun Yi Bai's three soul rings lit up.
Davis, despite knowing about Yun Yi Bai's reputation, didn't expect the outcome to be so swift. With a single punch, Yun Yi Bai sent Davis flying back.
The other Xingluo Royal Academy members, who were behind Davis, quickly moved forward to catch him.
"Go!"
"Crush them completely!" Yun Yi Bai waved his hand, and except for Ye Lingling and Oscar, the rest of Wuji Academy advanced with overwhelming force.
With Oscar's flying Mushroom soul skill assisting them, the Xingluo team was thoroughly overwhelmed.
The advantage of flight was enormous.
Naturally, Davis would not accept such an outcome. Together with Zhu Zhuyun, they merged their souls, performing their signature fusion technique: Specter White Tiger.
As soon as the Specter White Tiger appeared, the atmosphere in the arena became heavy.
The giant white tiger stood several meters tall, its body radiating a faint blue light, its eyes like cold stars flashing with an icy gleam. Its body was agile and powerful, and each of its movements created waves of soul power.
Seeing the Specter White Tiger, Yun Yi Bai's lips curled into a smile, and for the first time in this battle, he felt a surge of excitement.
The joint fusion technique of a Level 48 and Level 47 Soul Sect was enough to pose a real threat.
"This tiger is mine. You all take care of the rest!" Yun Yi Bai called out, then charged at Davis.
Though he wanted to have a good fight, this was still a team battle, and victory was the most important thing.
"Hmph, overestimating yourself!" Davis sneered inwardly as he saw Yun Yi Bai charge toward him. He controlled the Specter White Tiger, which opened its massive maw and lunged at Yun Yi Bai.
However, Yun Yi Bai's speed was astonishing. It was as if he could predict the movements of the Specter White Tiger, as he tilted his body mid-air to avoid the attack.
The fusion technique from Davis and Zhu Zhuyun had already forced Yun Yi Bai to unleash his Dragon Transformation.
Golden lightning surged wildly around him, and his arms transformed into dragon claws.
He struck out with his hands, which were like lightning, aimed at the Specter White Tiger's eyes.
Sensing the danger, the Specter White Tiger roared in response, its roar trying to intimidate Yun Yi Bai.
But this was ineffective.
The tiger raised its paw and swiped at the air in front of it, but Yun Yi Bai's agile figure was simply too fast for the Specter White Tiger to catch.
In the next moment, Yun Yi Bai was under the tiger's body. His dragon claws, powered by lightning, slammed into the tiger's abdomen. Though there was no blood, the soul power leaking from the wound was enough to show the extent of the damage.
"Roar!" The pain coursed through Davis and Zhu Zhuyun, and they both felt the agony as if they were the ones being struck.
Immediately, the Specter White Tiger exploded with soul power, sending Yun Yi Bai flying backward.
On the other side, with Davis and Zhu Zhuyun no longer able to fight, the rest of Xingluo Royal Academy's team was no match for the Wuji Academy members, especially someone like Feng Xiaotian, a Soul Sect at Level 49 with both strong attack and speed.
