From Douluo Continent onwards, Glory is invincible.

Chapter 54: Haotian Sect vs. Xingluo Clan, Evil-Eyed White Tiger, Powerful Soul-Breaking Spear

The female host seemed to have never been so excited before. As soon as she finished speaking, cheers and applause erupted from all around the stands.

Many male and female disciples were still calling out Lin Fan's name. This momentum even surpassed the popularity after Tang Huo'er and Bibi Dong appeared. At this time, not only female disciples, but most male disciples also regarded Lin Fan as their idol.

Compared to Bibi Dong's overwhelming strength, Lin Fan, as a Soul Master, won five consecutive matches and easily killed three previously infamous members of the Demonic Sect. Just as that young lady said, this was a miracle that had never happened before in the history of Fighting Soul Mountain.

Lin Fan's appearance proved that soul power level does not represent true strength. Even with low talent and being as insignificant as an ant, one can still possess heaven-defying abilities.

In the VIP section, Bibi Dong was also looking at Lin Fan. Her cool eyes were filled with excitement and joy, but a hint of tears welled up in them. "I didn't expect that you would actually do it. But why did you come here? Was it to help the Haotian Sect win the championship, or for me...?"

Qian Xunji looked at Lin Fan, his handsome and noble face was extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth again, and a ferocious smile appeared on his lips.

After the preliminary rounds were completely over, the disciples from various sects and families began to disperse one after another.

After Lin Fan stepped off the stage, Tang Yiran immediately grabbed his hand tightly, hugged him, and led him to the VIP seats, where he was praised incessantly by the two sect leaders and elders of the Haotian Sect.

Back in the lounge, Lin Fan was once again harassed by Tang Huo'er, his long-legged senior sister, who pulled him to the side of Liu Erlong, Ye Keke, Shui Yue'er, and others, where they had a lively time and enjoyed a sumptuous meal, which could be considered preparation for the finals.

In the finals, any sect team only has one chance. All seven members of the finals must take the stage. However, if the opponent is relatively weak, Tang Huo'er and Tang Jianfeng may stand still and not make a move.

It's a new week, and the finals of Fighting Spirit Mountain have officially begun.

The finals are actually much faster than the preliminary rounds. Every sect or family only has one chance; if they lose, they are eliminated. The competition at Fighting Soul Mountain is, after all, a matter of life and death.

One match would result in heavy casualties on both sides, leaving no chance to prepare for a second time.

Sixteen teams competed in a random draw to determine the order of the matches. The competition was divided into sixteen to eight, eight to four, four to two, and finally the champion was determined. As for the rankings of third and fourth place, they would be determined based on the performance in the preliminary rounds and the competition itself. There would be no further tie-breakers. Therefore, in this elite competition of Fighting Spirit Mountain, only the champion could cause a sensation throughout the entire continent, and only the champion team could achieve the greatest glory.

The Spirit Hall has won the championship for several consecutive years. It is because of this that the Spirit Hall's power has doubled again in recent years. Every year, a steady stream of talented soul masters join the Spirit Hall, so the Spirit Hall attaches great importance to this final.

Losing the championship could significantly diminish the glory that the Spirit Hall had accumulated over the past few years.

The order of the finals was announced at 7:00 AM.

The sixteen teams will not compete in the previous groupings, but will be randomly matched in the following order.

Blazing Fire Sect vs. Ice Phoenix Clan

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School vs. Xuanmen School

The Spirit Hall against the Min Clan

Haotian Sect vs. Shenfeng Sect

The Snow Clan of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family battles the Thousand Hands Sect

Star Luo Royal Family vs. Mad Lion Clan

Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan vs. Thunder Clan

The Destroyer Clan vs. the Demon Sect

The results of these eight matches will be announced within two days, determining the top eight rankings. Therefore, on the first day, the entire arena plaza was packed with people, and no one wanted to miss this real final moment.

The seven members of the Haotian Sect were also watching the battle from the stands. The first match was between the Blazing Fire Sect and the Ice Phoenix Clan.

Lin Fan watched leisurely, while Shui Yue'er, who was not far from him, was extremely serious.

This match was extremely exciting. Despite losing one peak Soul Master and having another Soul Master crippled, the Blazing Fire Sect fought against seven members of the Ice Phoenix Clan with only five members. Even with Soul King Chi Yan present, they still gained an early advantage.

However, as the competition continued, fire-attribute martial souls were ultimately easily countered by top-tier ice phoenix martial souls. Apart from Chi Yan, the others were completely unable to withstand the combined chill of the three ice phoenix martial souls.

In the end, Chi Yan was also defeated by Shui Qing'er and another girl with the Ice Phoenix martial soul, using their martial soul fusion skill, Frost Phoenix.

In the first match, the Ice Phoenix family emerged victorious.

In the second match, the Xuanmen Sect appeared to be a defensive sect, lacking a Soul King, and was easily crushed and defeated by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The third match was unexpected; the Min Clan forfeited the match, allowing the Spirit Hall to advance directly to the quarterfinals.

In fact, the Min clan wanted to fight in this final, but before the match, Tang Xiao summoned the clan leader and made him concede defeat in advance.

This is the best possible outcome. The teams of the Power Clan and the Royal Clan have been almost completely wiped out in the preliminary rounds. Now, in the finals, facing the seven-member team from the Spirit Hall, it would be tantamount to the Agility Clan going up on stage for nothing.

The Min Clan's team was not weak, and they also had a Soul King. However, the Spirit Hall's team was clearly strong enough to almost guarantee the championship. All the important figures present knew that with Soul Emperor Bibi Dong in the Spirit Hall team, apart from the Haotian team, any other force's team would almost certainly be defeated by the Spirit Hall.

In the fourth match between Haotian Sect and Shenfeng Sect, all seven members of Haotian Sect took to the field, but Tang Huo'er and Tang Jianfeng seemed to have no intention of making a move.

The Divine Wind Sect was not afraid of the Haotian Team, and all seven members released their martial spirits immediately after entering the arena.

Two Soul Kings and five Soul Masters.

The Divine Wind Sect was the predecessor of the later Divine Wind Academy. This force was also very powerful, stronger than the Blazing Fire Sect, Elephant Armor Sect, and Ice Phoenix Family.

What followed was a fierce battle.

Lin Fan unleashed the Shadow Battle Axe, his body enveloped in the Purple Flame Tiger Armor. After activating his Heavenly Eye, he instantly used the Shadow Battle Axe to defeat two Soul Masters.

The Soul Masters of the Divine Wind Sect were also skilled in speed and agility, but they were countered by Lin Fan's Heavenly Eye. Their speed was slowed down by half, and they were easily knocked down and thrown off the stage by Lin Fan, who was not as strong as Lin Fan and possessed the Shadow Battle Axe.

The next moment, the two Soul Kings attacked Lin Fan at the same time. At this moment, Liu Erlong also used her Martial Soul Possession to rush up and knocked back a low-level Soul King with a punch.

Liu Erlong is currently level 43, and her martial soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, so her strength is not inferior to that of a low-level Soul King.

At the same time, Shui Yue'er launched a series of frost freezes and ice spikes in the air. Shui Yue'er's soul power is now close to that of a peak Soul Master, in addition to her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul.

Apart from the two Soul Kings, the remaining three Soul Masters couldn't withstand the combined damage from the freezing and ice spikes and were immediately frozen into ice sculptures.

Ye Keke also released her martial soul, Nine Hearts Begonia, from behind, and Lin Fan immediately felt his physical strength and soul power recovering rapidly.

Lin Fan glanced at Ye Keke and noticed that her Nine Heart Begonia seemed to have changed, turning from blue to purple. Moreover, under his Heavenly Eye's gaze, it appeared to have some strange energy fluctuations. Could it have evolved...?

I'll have to ask her when I have time.

Without hesitation, Lin Fan immediately used Ruthless Charge to kick all three frozen Soul Masters off the stage.

Among those three Soul Masters, two are support characters. If they continuously heal the two Soul Kings, the match will drag on for a long time.

Seeing their two support characters thrown off the stage, both Soul Kings were enraged. One of them immediately used his fifth Soul Skill, knocking Liu Erlong back more than ten meters with a single blow. Then he leaped into the air, his fists crackling with lightning, intending to crush Liu Erlong in one strike.

Another Soul King also unleashed his fifth Soul Skill, the Overlord Thunder Fist, charging towards Lin Fan.

Under Lin Fan's Heavenly Eye, he saw the lightning energy contained in this punch. The Flame Armor should not be able to withstand this punch, and even using the Peerless Hero technique would be difficult. He could only use Divine Stroke on this trash Soul King.

Lin Fan didn't actually want to use Divine Stroke too much. Divine Stroke did have its weaknesses. Inside the sword circle, he would be attacked by flying swords six times per second for ten seconds. However, as long as he activated his defensive soul skill and gritted his teeth to break out of the sword circle within the first two seconds, he could avoid the damage.

Touching the sword circle will trigger paralysis and piercing, but Lin Fan's soul power level is relatively low. Against a high-level Soul King, the control time will be greatly shortened. Moreover, many defensive soul skills can directly negate this effect. As long as he leaves the sword circle, he can avoid subsequent damage. Bibi Dong is so smart, she may have already discovered the weakness of the Divine Stroke.

Just as Lin Fan was about to use the Divine Brush, he suddenly felt an increase in the power within his body.

Lin Fan was overjoyed. It was Tang Jingyu, the Soul King, who had made the move.

Now, there's no need for a stroke of genius; attack becomes defense...

Lin Fan immediately used the third soul skill of his first martial soul, Poison Flame Impact. The flames containing the venom of a scorpion immediately covered the charging Soul King, but he only paused for a second before accelerating again and smashing his fist into Lin Fan's chest.

Lin Fan smiled inwardly. His Heavenly Eye had already seen that the power of this Soul King's attack had been greatly reduced under the dual blows of Shui Yue'er's cold aura and his own poisonous flames.

Without hesitation, Lin Fan immediately covered the Shadow Battle Axe with purple flames and gripped the purple flame spear in his hand again. Just as the Soul King punched the flame armor, Lin Fan unleashed his Eight-Stage Sweep.

With two knockbacks, damage reduction effects, and Tang Jingyu's assistance, the attack power increased by nearly 40%.

The Soul King of the Divine Wind Sect let out a miserable scream on the spot. Purple flames and blood flew everywhere. Three seconds later, the Soul King's arm had been severed, and his body was covered with dozens of terrifying wounds. He fell straight onto the arena, half dead.

Lin Fan landed gracefully, showing no sympathy for him; that punch he had just delivered was also meant to kill him.

Looking at Liu Erlong again, with the attack power increased, she immediately released her fourth soul skill. A powerful dragon flame instantly enveloped another low-level soul king, who let out a miserable scream.

It should be noted that Liu Erlong's Dragon Flame is a level stronger than Lin Fan's Purple Flame. Moreover, this is Liu Erlong's strongest fourth soul skill. In addition, Tang Jingyu's blessing makes the soul skill she releases even more powerful in terms of destruction.

While the other Soul King was still struggling to break free from the dragon flames, Liu Erlong, possessed by the Tyrannosaurus Rex, had transformed her right arm into a red and blue dragon arm, covered with the scales of a true dragon. With an unparalleled domineering punch, she slammed it hard into his body.

"Second Soul Skill, Dragon Arm..."

With a single punch, the attack, imbued with crimson dragon flames, broke dozens of bones in the Soul King on the spot. The guy immediately passed out, probably half-dead, and the dragon flames on his body had not yet extinguished.

Liu Erlong withdrew the dragon flame from his dragon arm and then casually tossed his fiery dragon-colored hair.

Lin Fan walked up to her and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "You're really amazing, Erlong. I never thought you had the strength to beat up a Soul King."

Liu Erlong pursed her lips slightly and said happily, "Hmph, of course, I'm not afraid of low-level Soul Kings at all. My Fire Dragon Martial Soul is not just for show."

After the match, all seven returned to the stands. Tang Huo'er was very satisfied. She never expected that Lin Fan, while hiding his strength, could defeat the two Soul King teams from the Divine Wind Sect with Liu Erlong, Shui Yue'er, and two support characters.

The outcome of the second day's competition was almost a foregone conclusion.

In the battle between the Snow Clan of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family and the Thousand Hands Sect, the Snow Clan of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family will undoubtedly emerge victorious.

The Star Luo Royal Family fought against the Mad Lion Sect. The Mad Lion Sect conceded defeat, and the Star Luo Royal Family emerged victorious.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan fought against the Thunder Clan. The Thunder Clan conceded defeat, and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan emerged victorious.

Thunder Sect is actually an affiliated sect of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, and it is slightly weaker than Blazing Fire Sect and Elephant Armor Sect.

Only the final battle, between the Broken Clan and the Demonic Sect, was truly exciting.

Lin Fan killed three members of the Demonic Sect. The four people who took the stage now were two Soul Kings and two Soul Sects.

The Demon Sect's original lineup, consisting of three Soul Kings and four peak Soul Masters, was actually a very strong team, capable of defeating the Breaking Clan. But now, three of them are missing.

The remaining four members of the Demon Sect were finding it extremely difficult to deal with the two Soul Kings and five Soul Sect members of the Shangpo Clan.

The Po Clan was originally the strongest of the four affiliated sects of the Clear Sky Sect. Their inherited martial soul, the Soul-Breaking Spear, possessed extraordinary attack and destructive power, second only to the Clear Sky Hammer and the Seven Kill Sword on the continent. Once their soul power reaches level 70, they can automatically obtain a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

The two Soul Kings' martial souls were both true Soul-Breaking Spears. When they released the Soul-Breaking Spears, Lin Fan was also somewhat shocked. These Soul-Breaking Spears looked extremely domineering, even more so than Nezha's Fire-Tipped Spear.

The next moment, the seven members of the Breaking Clan began to besiege the four members of the Demon Sect. Although none of them were Soul Saints and could not use the ten-thousand-year soul skills that came with the Breaking Soul Spear, they immediately forced the four members of the Demon Sect to retreat step by step with the Breaking Soul Spear’s super strong attack and penetration. The four members of the Demon Sect were simply unable to defend against the domineering attack of the Breaking Soul Spear.

Lin Fan realized that the Soul-Breaking Spear was somewhat similar to his Shadow Battle Axe. While its attack power was not as great as the Clear Sky Hammer, it had strong defensive penetration.

When the seven members of the Breaking Clan came together, they formed an extremely powerful Soul-Breaking Spear Formation, making it impossible for the two Soul Kings of the Demon Sect to defeat them one by one.

Within seconds, one of the Demonic Sect Soul Kings was pierced through the body and died on the spot. Two other Soul Kings were also pierced to death while frantically trying to escape the arena. Only one Demonic Sect Soul King managed to escape the arena.

The power of the Soul-Breaking Spear surprised Lin Fan. Fortunately, the Breaking Clan was in Group 4 during the preliminary rounds. Otherwise, even if he used Super Blood Rage, he might not have been able to defeat the Soul-Breaking Spear formation composed of seven people.

Even if Bibi Dong were to face it alone, there would be a great risk.

With the defeat of the Demonic Sect, the top eight of the Soul Master Elite Tournament have been officially determined.

A day later, Fighting Spirit Mountain announced the results of the draw for the top eight matches.

Match 1: The Ice Phoenix Clan versus the Broken Clan

Second match: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School versus Spirit Hall.

The third match: Haotian Sect versus the Star Luo Royal Family.

Fourth match: The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan versus the Snow Clan of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family.

"The Star Luo Royal Family?" Lin Fan was slightly surprised when he saw the battle results. This was Dai Mubai's family. If he wasn't surprised, the two strongest members of the Star Luo Royal Family team should have the Evil-Eyed White Tiger and the Netherworld Cat.

The next moment, Lin Fan's heart sank, not because of the Star Luo royal family, but because... this was already the showdown to determine the top four.

After this battle, there will be at most one more battle, which will be a life-or-death showdown between the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall.

It was also a life-or-death arena between himself and Bibi Dong...

Lin Fan had already figured out that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Qian Xunji had given Bibi Dong a new order: on the arena, in addition to killing Tang Huo'er, she would also kill him to demonstrate her absolute loyalty to the Spirit Hall.

The daughters are Lin Renxue, Ning Rongrong (after being taken in, not her biological daughter), and Tang Yin, who is born to A Yin. You'll find out when you read Chapter 110. They will all obediently listen to Bibi Dong.
