Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 154 Spirit Hall Academy's Defeat

This time, however, he didn't unleash his soul skill. Dugu Yan and the others cried out in worry as they saw the countless flames flying towards Ji Wuming.

"Nameless—"

Just as they were about to step forward to help Ji Wuming fight against Liu Yan, they were sternly rebuked by Ji Wuming.

"Don't come any closer. Wait until I block this attack, then you can move out immediately."

Not only Yan, but also two other agility-type Soul Masters from the Spirit Hall were staring intently at Ji Wuming, preparing to launch a swift attack when he was seriously injured. If they could defeat Ji Wuming, then the three of them would still have a chance to win.

However, their hopes were dashed. Ji Wuming wielded the Blood Thunder Spear, creating an effect similar to a blood-red shield, and this effect could even reflect off other targets.

A large amount of fiery energy rebounded into Yan's ranks. Before they could even use their defensive soul skills, they were struck by the fiery energy. Two agility-type soul masters immediately fainted, while Yan struggled to hold on alone.

"Yan, I have defeated six members of your Spirit Hall team one after another. Now you are the only one left to hold on. The defeat is inevitable. If you admit defeat sooner, you can avoid some physical pain."

At this moment, Yan's eyes were filled with resentment. He looked up at Bibi Dong, who was standing on the papal platform, only to see her turn away helplessly and say,

"The Spirit Hall Academy team concedes defeat. Congratulations to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team for winning the second match."

With Bibi Dong personally stepping onto the stage to announce the Spirit Hall Academy team's defeat, the emotions of all the participating teams in the entire Soul Battle Plaza were completely ignited.

"Even a team as strong as the Spirit Hall Academy lost, so it seems that this year's champion is already the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"No, how can we be satisfied if we don't even try?"

Both Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu were very confident in the newly formed Huofeng Academy. They firmly believed that if they were to meet Tiandou Royal Academy, it was uncertain who would win or lose.

After all, the champion's reward is three ten-thousand-year soul bones. Such an enticing reward is not something that can be forfeited so easily. Even if they fight against the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and are defeated by Ji Wuming, they can still participate in the loser's bracket and compete with the loser's bracket players for the final spot.

After that, the remaining four teams held two matches in a single day. Firewind Academy and Heavenly Water Academy continued their winning streak, defeating two teams from the Star Luo Empire to secure second and third place in the winners' bracket.

The last spot in the semifinals was given to the Shrek Academy team, who had been given a bye in the first two rounds of the competition.

…………

The following day, the first round of the winners' bracket was between the third and fourth place teams, namely Tianshui Academy versus Shrek Academy. At this moment, Yu Xiaogang suddenly looked to the upper left, where Bibi Dong was holding a scepter, and respectfully said...

"Your Holiness, we concede defeat in this match and will enter the losers' bracket to compete for a place in the championship."

Why?

Bibi Dong looked coldly at her former lover, Yu Xiaogang. She needed a reason for Yu Xiaogang's withdrawal.

"Your Holiness, it seems to be our right to forfeit the match, and you have no reason to question it."

At this moment, Liu Erlong tightly hugged Yu Xiaogang's right hand, asserting her dominance. Bibi Dong smiled and let it pass, but inwardly she was furious.

If she hadn't been taken advantage of by Qian Xunji back then... how could she have allowed a woman who wasn't even a Soul Douluo to occupy his little Gangzi? But now, nothing matters anymore. All he needs to do is continue completing the Rakshasa God Trial and then destroy the entire Angel Clan.

Once she inherits the position of Rakshasa God, the entire continent will become even less important to her.

With Shrek Academy's voluntary withdrawal, Tianshui Academy easily won the first match of the semi-finals. Although the newly formed Fire and Wind team was very strong, and Feng Xiaotian could even use the wind to fuel the fire, greatly enhancing the power of the Gale Wolf's 36-hit combo,

However, in the eyes of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team led by Ji Wuming, they were still not good enough, and soon they were narrowly defeated by the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team.

Because the Spirit Hall Academy team was relegated to the loser's bracket early, Bibi Dong deliberately shortened the finals schedule. The final match of the winners' bracket, originally scheduled for tomorrow, was moved to today, just two hours later, at dusk.

Soon after the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy team had recovered their soul power, they joined the Heavenly Water Academy team on the Soul Battle Plaza.

"Brother Wuming, the other side is Bing'er and our friends. Try not to let them get too badly injured in this battle."

"Don't worry, Yan Yan, I know what I'm doing."

Shui Bing'er now possesses the ultimate ice martial soul, and her soul power has reached level 52. Ji Wuming is eagerly anticipating this battle.

"Sisters, activate your Martial Souls."

As the Frost Phoenix possessed her, Shui Bing'er's original blue clothes began to turn gold-edged, and the entire Battle Soul Plaza quickly froze over, exuding a chilling aura.

"First Soul Skill, Ice Seal."

"First Soul Skill, Tremor."

The handle of the Soul-Shattering Spear slammed into the ground, and a shockwave of soul power shattered the incoming ice spikes.

As the ice shattered, Ji Wuming pointed his spear forward and instantly unleashed his first and second soul skills.

His attacks grew faster with each strike, while Yang Yong, the Shi brothers, Zhu Qing, and others were also engaged in combat with Shui Yue'er and Yu Hai Rou.

"Second Soul Skill, Ice Phoenix Split Ring Strike."

Shui Bing'er sprouted wings on her back, and a layer of blue-gold ice ring armor adhered to her back. An ice phoenix made of ice charged towards Ji Wuming.

Ji Wuming gripped the Blood Thunder Spear tightly, his right hand twisting, and the second strike quickly became the third, increasing speed and attack power by another 150%. Just as the spear tip touched the Ice Phoenix's head, a sound was heard...

"Boom——"

A crisp sound of ice crystals cracking rang out, and the ice phoenix's head rapidly split in two. As the blood-lightning spear continued to pierce deeper, the entire ice phoenix shattered rapidly from head to tail, then exploded violently.

"boom--"

The spear pierced Shui Bing'er's ice ring armor directly. Although the armor wasn't damaged, Shui Bing'er was forcefully thrown back by the powerful impact.

If she hadn't had wings on her back, she would have already rolled to the ground, unconscious.

She forcefully covered her slightly uncomfortable chest, staring at Ji Wuming with a face full of shame and indignation.

"Brother Ji, you did a great job! You did a really good job!"

"Fifth Soul Skill, Frost Phoenix Extreme Ice Annihilation."

The temperature in the surrounding Battle Arena dropped again, the ice became even more solid, and the Frost Phoenix curled up in the air. Suddenly, countless ice crystal chains appeared on Ji Wuming's feet, binding him firmly.

With a loud phoenix cry, the Frost Phoenix spread its wings and soared into the sky, transforming into an exceptionally sharp giant ice crystal blade that slashed towards Ji Wuming.
