The next day, the finals began.
The first match, Shrek vs Divine Wind Team.
This made the Master's brow furrow slightly, because if the Divine Wind Team lost, they would be in third place. It seemed that luck was not on their side, as it would have been ideal for them to face the Martial Soul Hall Team Captain, and see more of their strength, but it was clearly not possible now.
The competition began, and everyone was seated, with only the high-level officials from the Two Great Empires and Martial Soul Hall watching. At the top of the VIP platform sat three people, Bibi Dong in the middle, with Emperor Xue Ye and Emperor Xingluo on either side.
The competition began, and the Seven Monsters took the stage.
The seven members of the Divine Wind Team were surprised that Ye Yu was not on stage, which also gave them a sigh of relief, seeing a glimmer of hope.
The competition began, and Tang San and the seven others used the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill, with Tang San's soul power barely reaching the level of seventy.
With the Seven Monsters working together, they could defeat a Soul Saint barely above seventy levels, especially with the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill, which was one of their trump cards.
Dai Mubai and the other six poured their soul power into Tang San's body, merging into one, allowing Tang San to obtain all the other members' soul power.
This ultimate technique shocked everyone.
The Seven-in-One Fusion Skill of Canghui Academy was due to the same martial soul and the same cultivation direction. However, Tang San and the others had different martial souls and cultivation directions, and were still able to use the Seven-in-One Skill, which even the experienced Titled Douluo found astonishing.
Tang San did not use Blue Silver Grass, but instead, the massive Vast Heaven Hammer appeared in his left hand, slowly lifting.
The Dark Gold Light Pattern on the Vast Heaven Hammer erupted, unimaginably dazzling.
Seeing this enormous Vast Heaven Hammer, Bibi Dong's eyes reflected uncertainty.
Ning Fengzhi exclaimed, "Martial Soul True Body?!"
For Beast Martial Soul Masters, using the Martial Soul True Body at level seventy enables the fusion of oneself and martial soul into its true form, granting immense explosive power and increased strength. For Artifact Martial Soul Masters, the Martial Soul True Body elevates the martial soul's power to the extreme.
No one expected to see the Vast Heaven Hammer, known as the continent's number one artifact martial soul, here.
Even Tang San himself did not anticipate the Vast Heaven Hammer's power when using it in this state for the first time, realizing it was twice as large as himself.
Holding the Vast Heaven Hammer, Tang San felt his body filled with power, about to burst out.
The Vast Heaven Hammer roared and blasted out, sending Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian flying, while in the back, Huo Wu and the two support types were blown rolling for several laps by the shockwave.
The Vast Heaven Hammer's power was so terrifying, showcasing that the number one artifact martial soul in the world was not a false reputation, as they were blasted away before they had a chance to strike.
The Divine Wind Team felt helpless, as if they were facing a Soul Saint from the Vast Heaven Sect.
They did not expect the gap to be so large, without Ye Yu, the gap with the Shrek Seven Monsters was immense, and they could only admit defeat.
Tang San retracted the Vast Heaven Hammer, his expression one of pain.
The Artifact Martial Soul True Body consumes a lot of soul power, strength, and one's own soul, as the soul merges with the Vast Heaven Hammer.
Tang San staggered, supported by Dai Mubai.
The seven members of the Martial Soul Hall Team understood that doing this was to avoid revealing the Shrek Team's overall strength.
Tang San consumed Oscar's Recovery Sausage, and with his body refined by immortal-grade medicinal herbs, he quickly recovered almost completely.
Bibi Dong looked at Master, and Master's gaze also turned to Bibi Dong, their eyes meeting briefly in mid-air.
Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with admiration, her face showing a hint of pride, as if saying, "As expected of the man I admire."
At this moment, Liu Erlong, sitting next to Master, being a woman, naturally noticed this keenly, glared at Master, then wrapped both hands around Master's right arm, leaning into his embrace, while deliberately glancing at Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong's brow furrowed slightly, her face unchanged, but her heart felt extremely unpleasant.
Bibi Dong immediately announced, "The competition is over, exit the arena!"
Everyone was surprised, not uttering a few words, just exiting directly?
Though puzzled, everyone left one after another, with Bibi Dong leading the way, flicking her sleeve as she departed.
After returning to their residence, Master began making arrangements for Ye Yu and the others.
"Xiao Yu, for tomorrow's finals, I hope you don't go on stage."
Ye Yu nodded, "Alright, since I'm also not interested, I'll reserve my strength and save my energy to collapse the Pope Hall."
Immediately, Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up, "Boss, are you planning something after the competition ends?"
Ye Yu nodded, "If the Martial Soul Hall makes a move against us, of course, we have to act."
Master arranged, "Let me talk about the day after tomorrow's competition; by then, the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill cannot be used, as they will likely come up with a countermeasure. Xiao San also cannot utilize the Artifact Martial Soul True Body, as it will overburden the body and impact future cultivation."
Tang San nodded, "I won't use it. To win, we first need to break the opponent's martial soul fusion skill, and I'll take care of that."
Master was surprised, "Oh? Xiao San, can you break it? The opponent's two-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill can also give them the combat power of seventy levels."
Tang San replied confidently, "Leave it to me, I have confidence."
"Good."
Master continued to arrange the tactics for the day after tomorrow's battle.
At this moment, in the ceremonial hall of the Pope Hall.
Bibi Dong sat on the golden throne in the main seat, with Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo standing on either side, and the seven members of the Martial Soul Hall Team below.
Bibi Dong said calmly, "Did you remember what I just said?"
"Yes, Pope, we remember!"
Bibi Dong nodded, "Hm, the tactics just mentioned can destroy their Seven-in-One Fusion Skill. Regarding Tang San's Artifact Martial Soul True Body, it probably won't be used again unless he disregards future cultivation. If it is used, then the threat to the Martial Soul Hall will be reduced even if he survives."
On the side, Ghost Douluo said gloomily, "The final match isn't just an opportunity for your fame, but more importantly, it's about the ownership of the three soul bones. For the Martial Soul Hall, the three soul bones hold immense value. If lost, retrieving them would be impossible under the watch of the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect, Advanced Academy, and high-level officials from the Two Great Empires. Losing means giving them away. However, this pressure is on you to claim the championship; if lost, you'll go to the Mysterious Grand Canyon for three years of training!"
Upon hearing this, the seven members of Xie Yue shuddered at the thought of spending three years in the Mysterious Grand Canyon…
Thinking of this, they shivered all over, their eyes resolute, determined to win at all costs.
"We will win, no matter the cost!" The seven asserted firmly.
Bibi Dong waved them off, "Go and rest now."
The seven left, and Ju Douluo noticed a trace of worry in Bibi Dong's expression and said confidently, "Even though Shrek possesses extraordinary talent and Ye Yu is exceptionally strong, the only real threat to them is Ye Yu alone. The balance of victory remains skewed in our favor."
Bibi Dong replied softly, "While the Shrek Team is gifted, they are all still young, apart from Ye Yu and Tang San, the others are not of concern. However, my concern is with Master, whose unparalleled intelligence might bring about unforeseen changes. I don't know what meticulous plans he might create."
Ghost Douluo spoke in a deathly tone, "Pope, why not let me kill him?"
At once, Bibi Dong's face darkened, "Kill him? Ghost, do you believe I'll send you to the Mysterious Grand Canyon for training for decades?"
Ghost Douluo immediately kneeled on one knee, realizing he was wrong since it angered Bibi Dong, though he didn't know why she was so upset.
Bibi Dong snorted coldly, "Master is also an Elder of the Martial Soul Hall, and you must never lay a hand on him. Besides, even if he weren't an honorary Elder of the Martial Soul Hall, he has the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan backing him. Even though he's left the family, he is a direct descendant; if killed, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan won't sit idly."
Bibi Dong warned, "Remember: None of you, without my orders, are to touch him!"
"Yes! We understand!"
