Both Yue Guan and Gui Mei were startled.
These young people nowadays are just too scary.
"Your Holiness, why don't you let Yue Guan and I kill him? Although I don't know why that kid's soul skills are so powerful, his soul power level is still too low. Even with the old poison master in charge, I'm 80% confident that I can kill him with one blow!"
It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned, because as soon as this topic came up, Bibi Dong couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
"That sounds nice, but I seem to remember that when you went to intercept the demonic bear, you were all unharmed, while the demonic bear was seriously injured?"
Bibi Dong's gaze turned slightly cold, and Yue Guan and Gui Mei immediately lowered their heads.
"Humph!"
Seeing that the two remained silent, Bibi Dong snorted coldly and abruptly stopped tapping on the armrest.
"We can't make a move in Spirit City for now, as that would affect the Spirit Hall's standing among spirit masters. Besides, Poison Douluo has become stronger now. If he goes berserk in the city, the damage he causes will be incalculable. Let's talk about it after the competition is over!"
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
"Alright, go and rest. Let me think about it myself," Bibi Dong said, waving her hand casually at the two of them, looking a little tired. "By the way, prepare the things that Tianshui Academy needs as soon as possible."
"As ordered!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo left silently, leaving only Bibi Dong in the vast council hall.
……
Three days passed quietly.
The highly anticipated final is about to begin.
As this is the first time the Elite Tournament has changed its rules at the last minute, and also the first time that three teams have competed in a free-for-all, it has garnered significant attention across mainland China.
On the judging panel, Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi, and Sword Douluo Chenxin had also arrived early to wait.
Undoubtedly, they were all eagerly anticipating the upcoming battle.
The three teams appeared outside the Papal Palace in high spirits, their expressions solemn as they stared at each other. However, when their gazes fell upon Tianshui Academy, they all simultaneously revealed a look of apprehension.
The Spirit Hall Academy team stood silently on the left, a strong and cold killing intent like a sharp blade approaching Tianshui Academy, which immediately made many members' hearts tighten.
"Heh, you really don't learn your lesson!"
Lin Chuan chuckled softly and looked calmly to his left.
He did nothing, but simply stood there, yet he intimidated everyone, and the murderous aura that rushed towards him instantly dissipated.
Ignoring Hu Liena's murderous gaze, Lin Chuan slowly withdrew his eyes.
Sunlight streamed down, bringing golden radiance to the Papal Palace and also falling upon the three soul bones that served as a reward. They lay quietly in a red brocade tray, emitting a faint glow.
Whoever emerges victorious in the upcoming melee will be the champion of this Elite Tournament, and will also receive unparalleled glory, as well as three high-quality soul bones as a champion's reward.
"This is compensation for you!"
Ghost Douluo appeared out of thin air in front of the Tianshui Academy formation and slammed down on Lin Chuan.
"You have no shame at all!" Dugu Bo sneered, opening his hand to catch it first, his gaze towards the ghost filled with disdain and contempt.
Seeing that his little scheme had failed, the ghost was not annoyed and returned to the entrance of the Papal Palace as a shadow.
"Hey kid, here's what you wanted."
Dugu Bo casually tossed the ring in his hand to Lin Chuan.
After a quick inspection, the interior space wasn't very large, but it was exactly what he had requested. As expected of the powerful and wealthy Spirit Hall, they were incredibly generous!
"Thank you for your generosity, Your Holiness. I take back what I said earlier; the Spirit Hall is very fair!"
"Hmph!" Bibi Dong glanced at Lin Chuan and gently waved the scepter in her hand.
Upon seeing this, the cardinal in the center of the arena shouted, "The final of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is about to begin. Contestants from the three teams, please get ready. The match will begin in fifteen minutes."
"Let's go!"
The three teams took turns stepping onto the stage, each standing in a different position.
Unsurprisingly, Wuhun Academy and Shrek Academy are very close to Tianshui Academy, and their attention is also focused on Tianshui Academy.
The meaning is quite clear: Tianshui Academy must be eliminated first.
On the Tianshui Academy side, Ye Lingling was also making her first appearance on stage, standing around Lin Chuan alongside Dugu Yan, Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, Shui Yue'er, and Yu Hairou.
The group of girls also sensed the ill intentions of the other two teams.
"Brother Chuan, they're obviously going to gang up on us. What tactics should we come up with?" Shui Bing'er's face was cold, and even though she already knew, anger still rose in her heart.
Lin Chuan chuckled and shook his head. "There's no need. There are only three points that the two teams need to pay attention to: Hu Liena and Xie Yue's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's possible Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill that Shrek Academy once used."
In fact, this is something other girls also need to pay attention to.
"Alright, let's take care of Ning Rongrong and Oscar from Shrek Academy first. I'll handle Tang San and the three members of the Golden Generation, and you can handle the rest. That should be fine, right?"
Lin Chuan briefly explained his thoughts.
After all, it's the final match, so everyone else should feel a sense of participation too.
"No problem, Ogawa, leave it to us with confidence!"
Shuiyue patted her chest, her words brimming with confidence.
Having fought their way here with almost no defeats, all the girls had long since developed a strong sense of confidence. So what if they were besieged by two teams? They could simply defeat them all!
A championship won by defeating two other strong teams is more valuable.
Chapter 128 Who told you I'm afraid of close combat?
Unlike the relaxed atmosphere at Tianshui Academy, both Wuhun Academy and Shrek Academy were extremely tense.
They knew very well that what followed was going to be a tough battle!
Just then, Tang San suddenly stepped out of the group and walked straight towards the Spirit Academy.
This action instantly attracted the attention of everyone present, and they stopped trying to hide themselves from others!
"Tang San, what are you doing here?"
Yan spoke immediately, his eyes filled with vigilance.
"I'm here to seek your cooperation!" Tang San said coldly without any hesitation. "Lin Chuan from Tianshui Academy is very strong, and his martial soul is also very powerful. If we don't cooperate, we will only be defeated one by one in the end."
Having succinctly explained his thoughts, the students of Martial Soul Academy immediately fell into deep thought.
Hu Liena slowly raised her head. "How do you want to cooperate?"
"It's simple. We'll join forces to deal with Tianshui Academy and eliminate Lin Chuan first."
"That's it?" Hu Liena asked, displeased.
"Of course not," Tang San shook his head slightly. "Tianshui Academy is quite strong. Besides Lin Chuan, we also need to pay attention to Shui Bing'er and their Martial Soul Fusion Skill. So you need to use your Charm Soul Skill to restrict Shui Bing'er's performance."
"Then who will handle Lin Chuan?" Hu Liena asked again.
The girl's tone was still somewhat cold, but she was clearly already somewhat tempted.
Tang San breathed a sigh of relief and continued to explain his plan, "Lin Chuan's martial soul is indeed very powerful, but he also has a fatal flaw, which is that he needs to keep his distance. As long as we can get close to him in a short time, we can restrict his movements to the greatest extent."
"Once Lin Chuan is eliminated, the rest of Tianshui Academy will be no longer a threat. Then our two families can decide the final outcome, how about that?"
Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue exchanged a glance, all understanding each other's thoughts.
They alone would find it difficult to compete with Tianshui Academy, so cooperating with Shrek Academy would undoubtedly be the best solution.
"Okay, but I hope you won't try anything funny or stab me in the back, otherwise..."
Tang San shook his head slightly, "Don't worry, we know the priorities. The first priority now is to eliminate Lin Chuan and Tianshui Academy. Otherwise, neither Shrek Academy nor your Spirit Academy can win the championship. So at least until we achieve our goal, we are allies for now."
"It better be this way!"
Hu Liena gave a noncommittal response, but she didn't completely believe it.
Ultimately, they are competitors, and anyone who completely believes the other is a fool.
Tang San was well aware of this and didn't waste any more words. "Since you all agree, then I'll leave it to you later."
After leaving those words, Tang San turned and returned to his teammates.
A quarter of an hour passed.
The cardinal on the arena spoke again, "Preparation time is over. The final of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is now officially underway. All contestants, release your Martial Souls."
"Let's go, let's take the final championship!"
Lin Chuan glanced at the group of girls and spoke with a light laugh.
As soon as the words were spoken, almost everyone released their martial spirits at the same time, and then two icy killing intents, as sharp as blades, enveloped Lin Chuan directly.
The intense clash of their auras instantly escalated the tension to its peak.
"Game start!"
The cardinal, acting as referee, announced the decision loudly and then quickly retreated, clearing the field.
