Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 174 The Final Battle

The following day at dawn, the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament began as scheduled.

In fact, the entire plaza was severely damaged yesterday due to the battle between Tang Hao and Qian Daoliu. Several elders suggested that the finals could be postponed for a day or two to allow the venue to be fully repaired, as it was, after all, the face of the Spirit Hall. However, under Bibi Dong's insistence, the finals were still scheduled for today.

Yesterday, Xiao Yu took a blow from Tang Hao head-on, and Qian Renxue even went to the treasure vault to scavenge rare treasures to treat internal injuries. Bibi Dong guessed that Xiao Yu's injuries must be very serious. She must not give Xiao Yu time to recover. Taking advantage of his serious injury and inability to play, she immediately held the final and took the three soul bones that were the champion's reward.

Qian Renxue has a complete set of Angel Soul Bone Set, and she doesn't care about other Soul Bone Sets. So, the submission of these three Soul Bone Sets can fall into the hands of the Golden Generation as she originally planned.

Ideals are lofty, but reality is harsh.

Although Xiao Yu did not participate, his filial daughter Qian Renxue also did not participate. At this moment, she was sitting in the rest area of ​​the Nine Star Academy, leaning against Xiao Yu's chest, being affectionate with him. This made Bibi Dong grit her teeth in anger, but she was helpless.

"Damn traitor!"

Xie Yue, the captain of the Spirit Hall team who had been reinstated, stared at Qian Renxue, who was sitting in the Nine Star Academy rest area, his eyes blazing with fury. It was hard to tell whether he was more angry or heartbroken.

"Never mind, Xie Yue."

Yan snorted angrily: "That traitorous guy might stab us in the back if he's on the field. Luckily, Xiao Yu is seriously injured and can't play. This final depends on the few of us!"

"Excellent! The championship definitely belongs to our Spirit Hall!"

Xie Yue nodded emphatically, his cold and resolute gaze sweeping over his other companions.

"Victory is certain!"

Led by Xie Yue, the Spirit Hall Academy team entered the finals stage with their initial lineup.

Nine Star Academy made their appearance under the leadership of Vice Captain Eden. Their teammates included Eden, a control-type Soul Master; Yi Hui, Zi Long, and Cang Mo, all power-attack-type Soul Masters; Rong Dou and Yuna, both agility-attack-type Soul Masters; and Ye Lingling, a support-type Soul Master.

"Strange, none of the Soul Masters from Nine Star Academy seem to be familiar to us?"

When Hu Liena saw the lineup of Nine Star Academy, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Apart from the two Soul Kings of the offensive type, the others were all unfamiliar faces. None of the Naruto Soul Master Huo Wu, who had been studied by them several times, Xie Wu with the Unicorn Martial Soul, Dugu Yan with the Golden Flood Dragon Martial Soul, Yi Ao with the flexible and versatile Martial Soul, or Mi Yimei who cultivated both support and control skills, were playing.

Upon hearing this, Yan sneered, "Nana, since Nine Star Academy is so arrogant and has handed over the victory to us, we'll grant their wish."

Hu Liena frowned, speechless at this reckless and impulsive man, and said in a low voice, "It's best to be careful!"

"The finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament are about to begin. Both teams, prepare yourselves and unleash your Martial Souls!"

At the referee's announcement, the seven members of the Spirit Hall team released their spirits almost simultaneously. The three members of the Golden Generation stood at the front in an inverted triangle formation, their bodies flashing with two yellow, two purple, and one black spirit rings. The four members behind them also had the best configuration of four spirit rings, two yellow and two purple, and the spirit power they emitted was all above level 45.

But when their gazes fell upon the Nine Stars team on the other side, they were all stunned for a moment.

The Nine Stars team adopted a 3-3-1 formation, with three offensive Soul Masters, Ikki, Shiryu, and Somo, facing each other across the board. The moment their Martial Souls were activated, five Soul Rings—two yellow, one purple, and two black—that surpassed the optimal configuration slowly rose up.

In the center of the second team was Vice Captain Eden. The moment his martial spirit was activated, lightning power emanated from his entire body, and an incomparably majestic deep blue figure appeared behind him.

Rong Dou, a Soul Master specializing in agility, and Yuna stood to his left and right. When Rong Dou's Martial Soul was activated, a burst of blue light emanated from his body, and a wolf's head suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.

A gust of wind rose beneath Yuna's feet, and a several-meter-long eagle spread its wings and soared into the sky above the plaza.

Standing at the back was Ye Lingling, a support-type Soul Master. She clasped her hands together, as if invoking her Martial Soul in prayer. Suddenly, a begonia flower, exuding a faint fragrance, rose up. Ye Lingling opened her clasped hands, as if supporting the begonia flower. The petals and vines slid down from either side of Ye Lingling's palms, the soft tendrils swaying in the wind, the drooping petals like a graceful lady veiled in beauty, full of tender affection and captivating charm.

The spirit rings that rose above these four people were the same as those of Ikki, Soma, and Shiryu—five spirit rings in total: two yellow, one purple, and two black!

Seven Soul Kings!

Nine Star Academy actually fielded seven Soul Kings in this final, and all of their Soul Rings were beyond the best possible configuration.

The entire audience was stunned!

Not only were the Spirit Hall members participating in the competition stunned, but even Bibi Dong and Ning Fengzhi, who were watching from above, were dumbfounded.

"Is this the true foundation of the Nine Star Palace?"

Bibi Dong took a deep breath and turned her gaze to the rest area of ​​Nine Star Academy, only to see Qian Renxue looking at her with an extremely provocative gaze, as if mocking her. The golden generation she had cultivated was nothing more than a bunch of trash in other people's eyes.

"Referee, shouldn't we announce the start of the match?"

The equally stunned referee gave the Spirit Hall team a final chance. If he had announced the start of the match immediately, the Spirit Hall team, which was in a daze, would have been crushed by Nine Star Academy in an instant.

The referee, reminded by Eden, finally came to his senses and waved his hand to announce the start of the match. At the same time, he looked at the Spirit Hall Academy team with some concern. After all, the referee himself was a cardinal from the Spirit Hall, and deep down he naturally wanted the Spirit Hall to win.

However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he could not show favoritism to the Spirit Hall Academy team, so he quickly retreated and left the field after announcing the start of the match.

"elder brother!"

Hu Liena, regaining her senses, shouted. The brother and sister looked at each other and nodded. The next moment, the light of their martial souls shone brightly red. They used the martial soul fusion skill, Enchantress, and a red light screen suddenly appeared, spreading rapidly at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

At the same time, the support-type Soul Master of the Spirit Hall also made a move. His Spirit was the Golden Scepter, a weapon Spirit whose support abilities were no less than those of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. It was only because of bloodline issues that it could not be produced on a large scale that it lost to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

His first and third spirit rings lit up, and two golden beams shot out from his scepter at the same time. The golden light shone brightly and quickly merged into the bodies of Xie Yue and Hu Liena, who were in the process of merging. The aura of the two of them surged even more.
