In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

Chapter 182 Big Brother, you know me.

Yu Tianxin was defeated, and the other battlefields that Lin Hai had separated also came to an end. Feng Xiaotian finished off Lei Tian first, and then stood by and watched from the sidelines.

Mu Jiabao was fighting Lei Dong. Although Lei Dong was a control-type Soul Master, his mind was much deeper than Mu Jiabao's. Moreover, Lei Dong's martial soul, the Thunder Spider, was not only strong in control, but also had considerable attack power.

Lin Hai strode over to Feng Xiaotian's side.

Feng Xiaotian glanced at him with a hint of surprise, then, remembering his terrifying combat prowess, he understood.

"How's the battle going?"

"Where is Jiabao being entangled?"

Noticing Lin Hai's gaze directed at him, Feng Xiaotian sighed inwardly, "Good brother, don't blame me for teasing you."

"Okay, Lei Dong from Thunder Academy is too clever, he comes up with one scheme after another." In other words, isn't he just saying that Mu Jiabao is stupid?

"Um."

"However, he's fine too. Jia Bao not only has high HP and a strong shield, but his flames can also negate the damage from lightning. It's only a matter of time before he defeats Lei Dong."

"Jiabao has been with us for too long, and he's become habitually lazy and doesn't want to think. Actually, he's not stupid at all; he's just too lazy to think."

"I actually hope he can learn a lesson from Lei Dong, so he'll stop being so lazy."

"That kid Longmanga did a good job. He's only recently broken through to the Soul Master level, and he's holding his own against that martial arts master from Thunder Academy," Feng Xiaotian said, pointing to Longmanga, who was fighting a martial arts master not far away.

"It's quite impressive. For a defensive Soul Master to be able to fight back and forth with an offensive Soul Master is a remarkable achievement. This Wu Hao's attack power is not weak, and his Martial Soul is the highly aggressive Thunder Lion."

"Speaking of which, Longmanga's martial soul is truly remarkable. It's the Earth Sand Dragon, which is not far from being a top-tier martial soul. Dragon-attribute martial souls have never been weak."

In the end, Mu Jiabao defeated Lei Dong. Not for any other reason than that he dragged his opponent down to defeat. Mu Jiabao was not as fast as Lei Dong, but in terms of soul power, Lei Dong was not as strong as Mu Jiabao. Moreover, Mu Jiabao was almost immune to his lightning damage. When the blazing flames stuck to Mu Jiabao, they seemed to be swallowed by the flames, bursting out with even greater power.

Seeing this, Lin Hai exclaimed inwardly: Thunder Flame Dragon Mode!! Jia Bao has this talent?

As if he had no teacher, Mu Jiabao absorbed the lightning, and the blue lightning turned into gold. The golden lightning threads danced on the crimson flames. Then, Mu Jiabao's eyes shone white, and he opened his mouth to exhale. A roaring magic attack, intertwined with flames and lightning, slammed into Lei Dong.

"What is this?" Feng Xiaotian asked in confusion, as he had never seen Mu Jiabao use this technique before.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this is Jiabao's self-created soul skill, which requires external power to unleash."

"No wonder, I was wondering how he suddenly developed his own soul skill."

"This silly kid is lucky; he somehow managed to create a soul skill, Thunderflame Bear's Roar. What do you think of that name?"

"It suits you quite well; you're quite good at choosing names."

Lin Hai had already figured out what kind of spirit beast Mu Jiabao should choose for his next spirit ring.

The Beast Team won with no members eliminated.

The third round of the competition concluded with a victory for the Beast Academy. After a short rest, the fourth round of the competition will begin.

After a day of rest, the six teams that made it to the fourth round entered the fourth round of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

The draw results came out quickly, and the first match was a bombshell: Shrek Academy versus Star Luo Royal Academy.

Lin Hai didn't care at all about the grudges between Dai Mubai of Shrek Academy and the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire.

The competition officially began, but the reactions from all sides were lukewarm, as the fighting strength of Shrek Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy seemed to be about the same, and they could not tell who would win.

The match had begun, and after both sides activated their Martial Souls, there were quite a few exclamations of surprise within the Star Luo Royal Academy. They seemed to be astonished by the growth of Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

Shrek Academy's battle was extremely difficult, featuring a fusion of their martial souls: Netherworld White Tiger versus Netherworld White Tiger.

The battle between two identical martial soul fusion skills certainly captivated the audience's attention.

……

The second match was between Wuhun Academy and Blazing Fire Academy. Unsurprisingly, Blazing Fire Academy was no match for their opponents.

The third match was between the Beast Academy and the Star Luo Empire's advanced soul master academy, which had a bye in the previous round. Clearly, the Beast Academy, just like the Martial Soul Academy, crushed their opponent.

After the fourth round of competition, the three academies that advanced to the fifth round will have three days to recover.

That night, Lin Hai did not choose to stay in his room any longer. The competition might be a pressure for others, but Lin Hai felt none of it. This was due to his own strong strength and the strength of his teammates. Their Beast Academy was not weak. With a little strategy and without being overly arrogant, they had a high probability of winning the championship.

As the venue for the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, and also a sacred place in the hearts of many Soul Masters, Wuhun City has been packed with people recently.

People assume that a large number of people means a lively and prosperous place. Moreover, because it is the location of the Spirit Hall, the security here is particularly good, with the Spirit Hall's patrol knights patrolling regularly.

"It's so lively!"

"Yeah, it seems more lively today than the past few days."

"Of course, the finals are coming soon, and this once-every-five-years event will naturally attract a lot of viewers."

"Besides, this is Wuhun City, a place that many people dream of visiting. Some people have come here because of this opportunity."

"Speaking of which, my first pot of gold was actually given to me by the Spirit Hall!"

Longmanga: "Me too!"

"But wasn't it said that the subsidies His Highness the Spirit Lord gave to lower-level Spirit Masters were paid for by the two great empires?"

"Yes, it was the two great empires that paid for it, but without the Spirit Hall, why would the two great empires willingly part with their money? Right?"

"The relationship between the Spirit Hall and the two great empires is truly complex!"

"Hahaha!"

The group of ten strolled around Wuhun City, occasionally spotting familiar faces from other academy teams.

Just then, a patrol team appeared in front of them.

The three leading figures were young and were not dressed in knight's armor, but rather in the uniforms of the Spirit Hall Academy team. These uniforms were white, pure white, and embroidered with six symbols representing the Spirit Hall.

Each of the three wore a purple, book-shaped badge on their left chest; it was the Purple Record Medal of the Great Soul Arena, a symbol of their honor.

The person leading the patrol was a man who was over 1.9 meters tall. He had a neat, short black head that stood up like steel needles. His face was very calm, comparable to Lin Hai's, as still as a deep well. Moreover, he had an invisible, invincible belief that emanated from his body.

On either side of the short, black-haired man were a man and a woman. The man had long, fiery red hair that cascaded down his back. His eyes were dark red and looked sinister. He was of above-average appearance, but like the short-haired youth standing in the middle, he exuded an invisible aura.

The only woman among the three had long black hair and resembled the man in front of her in appearance. She was beautiful and charming, and exuded a unique allure at all times.

The three men all had identical expressions, very serious and cold. Perhaps it was because they were on patrol, or perhaps they considered themselves superior and coldly regarded all the lower-ranking Soul Masters.

These three are the Spirit Hall's "Golden Generation": Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan.

The three led the patrol team past Lin Hai and his group. Yan, in particular, snorted disdainfully as he passed by, displaying an extremely arrogant attitude. Xie Yue's indifference towards them was also a form of provocation.

After they left the area, Mu Jiabao said angrily, "Damn it, weren't those three guys the three new Soul Kings from the Spirit Hall who went on to compete in the third round of the competition?"

Yara Huchi: "Who is he! With that long face, who wants to look at him?"

"These three people should be the three genius soul masters of this generation who are hailed as the golden generation by the Spirit Hall."

"The short-haired youth who was walking at the front just now should be Xie Yue, a level 52 power attack type battle soul king, whose martial soul is a weapon martial soul, the Moon Blade."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the red-haired man following behind him should be Yan. He is also a level 52 Power Attack-type Battle Soul King, and his Martial Soul is Flame Lord."

"The remaining girl is Xie Yue's younger sister, named Hu Liena, a level 51 control-type battle spirit king, whose martial spirit is a fox."

"They're clearly siblings, so why do they have different surnames?"

"Xie Yue and Hu Liena took their parents' surnames and inherited their parents' martial souls. This also shows that the two siblings have a very good relationship."

"My God, boss, how do you know everything?!"

"Hmph! Didn't we give you the information?" Dugu Yan glared at Catherine as she spoke.

"Among these three, besides the two offensive-type Battle Soul Kings, we also need to be wary of the one named Hu Liena, who possesses extremely powerful charm abilities."

"Based on the third round of the match between their Martial Soul Academy team and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team, the soul skills she used in her first appearance were mainly charm-based."

"I'm at ease with the captain, but as for you guys..." Dugu Yan glanced at Mu Jiabao, Feng Xiaotian, and the others with a suspicious look.

"Don't look at me, you know me. I have a future, I am a steadfast warrior of pure love!"

"Don't look at me like that. You know me. If I ever give another woman even the slightest strange look, Catherine won't let me off the hook."

"Hahahahaha..." Avanil's words amused everyone, but Catherine blushed deeply after being teased by Avanil.

"Cough cough cough, you know me, I probably won't be able to play, so it won't work on me," Yara Huchi said.

Lusaka: "Similarly, I won't play either, and besides, I have a girlfriend!"

Seeing the strange looks from the others, Feng Xiaotian quickly said, "Why are you all looking at me like that! You know me. Although I'm over 24 and the oldest among you, I still..."

Alright! Feng Xiaotian really couldn't bring himself to make a move; he was so frustrated that his face turned red.

"Don't look at me! You know me. I'm missing a line in my heart, and I'm slow to react when it comes to girls. By the time you manage to seduce me, it'll be after the competition."

"I didn't realize you were all so talented!"

"Alright, don't blame me for not warning you. If I find out about you on the field, don't blame me for being merciless with my poison," Dugu Yan warned them one last time.

Three days later, the bright sunshine shone on the earth, and under the sunlight, the Papal Palace appeared even more magnificent, like a fairyland.

In front of the Papal Palace in Wuhun City, the Paladin Knights stood in two rows, stretching from the entrance of the Papal Palace all the way down the mountain. They wore bright silver armor and held heavy knight swords, making the entire Papal Mountain even more majestic and solemn.

The teams from the various advanced soul master academies that had been eliminated in the previous rounds had already left; they weren't even allowed to watch the final day of the competition.

This honor belongs exclusively to the three advanced soul master academy teams that emerged from fierce competition. Only truly young and powerful individuals are qualified to step onto this square in front of the Papal Palace.

Early in the morning, the three teams that had entered the final three-way competition and were qualified to determine the champion appeared in front of the Pope's Palace and quietly waited for the supreme ruler of the Spirit Hall, Pope Bibi Dong.

The teachers leading the teams from these three colleges were not qualified to stand in the square; they could only wait on the periphery.

All twenty-one finalists stood quietly in the square, waiting for the final moment to arrive.

The Spirit Academy team, led by Xie Yue, appeared the most relaxed, not only because it was their home turf, but also because they were confident in their own strength. Moreover, their eyes shone with the light of faith—faith in the Spirit Hall and in Pope Bibi Dong.

The Beast Academy, on the other hand, remained relatively calm. They were equally confident in their own strength, especially in dealing with Lin Hai, Feng Xiaotian, and Mu Jiabao. They knew the true strength of these three best and were confident that they could hold off the opponent's Soul Venerable and not cause trouble for Lin Hai and the others.

Shrek Academy maintained the lowest possible profile, and had no choice but to keep a low profile, as their seven members were the weakest of the three teams present.

The seven of them lined up in a row, from left to right: Dai Mubai, Tang San, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing.

Shrek Academy might be seen as just a slightly larger ant by Martial Soul Academy, and they could be crushed without much effort.

Similarly, at the Beast Academy, they had few secrets to keep; Lin Hai knew everything.
