The Strongest All-Round Support in Douluo Continent

Feng Xiaotian panicked. He hadn't expected Shrek Academy to have a soul bone that could heal injuries, and a food-type soul master that could restore physical strength and soul power.

If things continue like this, their team will be worn down by the Shrek team.

So, taking advantage of the boost from Huo Wu and the two support-type Soul Masters, Feng Xiaotian flapped his crimson-yellow wings and continued to attack Tang San and the others.

"First Soul Skill: White Tiger Protective Shield."

Compared to the others, Dai Mubai's injuries were not as serious, so when he saw Feng Xiaotian attacking, he immediately stood in front of Tang San and the other three.

"Get out of here, you overestimating yourself."

However, compared to Feng Xiaotian's current state, Dai Mubai was no match. One strike sent Dai Mubai flying, and the White Tiger Protection Shield in front of Feng Xiaotian crumbled instantly, like paper.

Tang San knew it was impossible to restore Tang Tian and the other two to their full strength immediately. While Dai Mubai was stalling for time, Tang San realized what was happening and immediately took out the Clear Sky Hammer to buy Tang Tian and the other two some more time.

"Haotian Hammer!" Tang San swung it at Feng Xiaotian with all his might.

Feng Xiaotian had just defeated Dai Mubai when Tang San launched his attack without any chance to follow up. Fortunately, Feng Xiaotian reacted quickly enough and used wings formed from his soul power to shield himself, thus blocking Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer attack without much harm.

"Open." Feng Xiaotian spread his wings and used his immense soul power to injure Tang San again, causing him to stagger back a few steps with bright red blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Damn it, the fourth soul skill."

A massive amount of soul power erupted from Feng Xiaotian's body, condensing into two azure wind wolves. Wind attribute energy surrounded Feng Xiaotian, causing the hem of his skirt to flutter in the wind.

"Demon Wolf Storm".

The fourth soul skill, Demon Wolf Storm, had gathered all of Feng Xiaotian's soul power. It was a desperate attack, with two wind wolves transforming into two tornadoes several meters high, which swept towards the Shrek team.

Soon, the Demon Wolf Storm's soul skill had enveloped Tang Tian and his companions.

"Shaking Heaven and Earth!" Tang Tian shouted, raising the Haotian Hammer high into the air. Tang Long and Tang Hu also took their positions, forming a formidable triangular formation with Tang Tian.

As Tang Tian shouted "Hammer Shakes Heaven and Earth," Tang Long and Tang Hu also raised the Haotian Hammer high into the air. Three beams of blue light condensed into one, breaking through Feng Xiaotian's tornado and soaring into the sky.

At the same time, it protected Tang Tian and the other two. The three of them condensed their soul power into a large Haotian Hammer, which smashed onto the floor tiles on Feng Xiaotian's side, causing the arena to shake.

Feng Xiaotian was hit by a huge shockwave and was thrown to the edge of the competition field against the wall, where he lost consciousness.

Not only Feng Xiaotian, but also Huo Wu and the others felt a huge tremor from beneath their feet. An invisible shockwave also stunned the members of the Shenfeng team.

"Thank goodness, Oscar, the food-type Soul Master, restored a lot of physical strength and soul power to Xiaotian and Xiaolong, which allowed them to unleash the Hammer of Heaven and Earth fusion skill." Tang Xiao said with lingering fear, letting out a sigh of relief.

"Hmm, we almost capsized in a ditch. However, Sect Leader Tang, that 'Hammer Shakes Heaven and Earth' move was quite powerful. It decided the outcome with one strike, and we won a thrilling match." Flander also breathed a sigh of relief along with Tang Xiao.

Even though he was extremely anxious and unable to speak, Yu Xiaogang, whose face was tense, gradually returned to normal. He had almost lost.

When the host, the bishop, saw that the Kamikaze team members were all unconscious, he immediately went to check on them and found that they were only seriously injured. Only then did he announce that the Shrek team had won.

"In the third group match, all members of the Kamikaze team were seriously injured and unconscious. The Shrek team won this match. Congratulations to the Shrek team for advancing to the top three."

The host, the bishop, loudly announced the results of the match, and then treated the seven members of the Kamikaze team to prevent them from being seriously injured and dying.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Light of Healing."

Subsequently, with the help of the Spirit Hall soldiers, some members of the Divine Wind Team helped Feng Xiaotian and the others back to their rest area at the Spirit Hall Hotel.

Tang San and the others helped each other off the field and returned to Yu Xiaogang and the others.

"Very good. After several days and four rounds of competition, the top three teams have been determined: the Spirit Hall Team, the Heaven Dou Royal Team, and the Shrek Team." Duan Yu Fan slowly stood up and said, a faint smile on his face.

"The semi-final match will be held at the entrance of the Papal Palace, the most prestigious and honorable holy site in the Soul Master world. His Holiness the Pope will present the three Soul Bones that have been prepared for the champion. His Holiness the Pope will also supervise the semi-final and final matches throughout."

"The semifinals are individual competitions. The first two teams to play will be determined by a draw. The winner will face the winner from the other team. The team with the most wins will advance to the finals. The two losing teams will be placed in the loser's bracket and compete in a team competition for the other spot in the finals. They will then compete with the winners in the winner's bracket for the championship of this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."

"So I hope that when you go back, you will prepare well, adjust your best condition, strive for the championship, and leave no regrets for your lives. At the same time, I hope that His Holiness the Pope can see the style of the elite competition."

Duan Yufan gave a brief and clear introduction to the format of the semi-finals for the top three, after which everyone returned to the hotel to rest and prepare for tomorrow's semi-finals.

At the Shrek Academy team's hotel, Tang San and the others returned to their meeting room, exhausted. After the match, the Shrek Academy team surprisingly did not have any support or healing-type Soul Masters.

Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul was too weak to have any healing effect, and Oscar's sausage martial soul could only restore soul power and physical strength, also without any healing effect.

"You underestimated your opponent too much, and did a lot of useless work, wasting your soul power and physical strength. You should have used Hammer of Heaven and Earth to end the game in one fell swoop. How could it have ended up like this?"

"Although you beat the Kamikaze team and made it into the top three, the process was very difficult. In your current condition, you probably won't be able to recover overnight, so how will you cope with the match tomorrow morning?"

When everyone returned to the hotel and entered the room, Tang Xiao spoke slowly with a somewhat unpleasant and gloomy expression.

Although Tang San possesses the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, it still requires soul power to activate. Tang San is not only injured, but his soul power is also completely depleted, so he cannot use his current soul bone at all.

"Sect Leader Tang is right. Not only are you injured, but your soul power is also almost depleted. You will need to recover your soul power and use it to adjust your physical condition throughout the night. We don't have any auxiliary healing soul masters. It would be good if you could recover 70% in one night." Flander continued after Tang Xiao finished speaking.

Yu Xiaogang walked at the front on the way back, looking rather grim, clearly dissatisfied with the match. Once back in his room, he sat on the sofa, writing rapidly in his notebook.

"Uncle, Dean, Teacher, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for making the wrong decisions. I underestimated the Kamikaze Team and my command was inadequate, which led to the deviation." Tang San looked tired and sincerely apologized to everyone.

"Alright, the match is over, there's no point in talking about this anymore. You guys fought for so long, and your condition is really bad. Just stay in your rooms and take the time to adjust yourselves. We'll go out on the street and see if we can find a healing Soul Master." Tang Xiao sighed, unable to continue blaming Tang San and the others.

After Flander and Tang Xiao finished criticizing Tang San and the others, Yu Xiaogang stood up with a notebook in his hand, handed it to Flander, and asked him to read it aloud.

Flander took a look and his expression turned sour. He frowned but still read aloud what Yu Xiaogang had written to everyone.

"We will concede tomorrow and voluntarily enter the loser's bracket, letting the Spirit Hall team and the Heaven Dou Royal team compete for the winner's bracket themselves. We have no advantage over these two teams in the individual competition."

"The loser's bracket matches will be held in the afternoon. This will not only give you time to recover, but also allow you to observe the specific abilities of each member of the Tian Dou Royal Team. I believe that our opponent in the loser's bracket will be the Tian Dou Royal Team one hundred percent."

Flander quickly finished reading what Yu Xiaogang wanted to say. After listening, everyone just frowned slightly and lowered their heads to think about the benefits involved.

"Well, admitting defeat is a last resort. Indeed, we have no advantage in the individual competition. Although we have the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, the difference in soul power between us and the Spirit Hall team members is too great. Even if we beat the Heaven Dou Royal Team, we will still enter the loser's bracket if we don't beat the Spirit Hall team. So there is no need to go all out in the individual competition, otherwise it will affect the team competition in the loser's bracket."

After thinking for a moment, Tang Xiao expressed some approval of Yu Xiaogang's strategy of retreating to advance.

"Yes, Xiaogang, your idea is good. It's the most suitable method for us at this moment."

"Xiao San, no matter which team we face in the loser's bracket, don't use your prepared trump cards like you did against the Kamikaze team today. We've reached the final stage, there's no need to hold back."

Flander raised his hand in agreement and gave Tang San some final instructions on how to command during the finals.

"Yes, I was a bit indecisive and overly cautious. Even though I knew we could have resolved it sooner, I still instructed us to be secretive. Today, it was thanks to Oscar's recovery sausage that we were able to successfully execute the Hammer of Heaven and Earth move." Tang San said with some shame about his command today.

"Xiao San, not at all. I can only offer this insignificant help. The competition was all thanks to you guys. Every time someone got injured, you were the ones who suffered the most." Oscar said modestly when Tang San mentioned him.

"Alright, Xiao Ao, don't underestimate yourselves. You and Rongrong also play a big role. Now that you've already discussed and decided on it, you two need to hurry up and get yourselves ready. Before it gets dark, a few of us will go out and find a healing Soul Master to treat you."

After Flander finished speaking, he stood up and walked with Tang Xiao and Yu Xiaogang toward the room door, preparing to go outside the hotel.

"Knock...knock..." Just then, before Flander and his two companions even reached the door, they heard two knocks.

"Huh, why is someone knocking on our door? Could it be a hotel staff member?" The three of them stopped upon hearing the knocking, and Flander asked with some confusion.

"Just open the door and you'll know." Tang Xiao stepped forward, touched the doorknob, and opened the door.

"Oh! Sect Master Ning, Elder Sword Douluo, what brings you here so suddenly?" Tang Xiao opened the door and asked Ning Fengzhi and Sword Dao Chenxin with some surprise upon seeing the two people outside.

"Sect Leader Tang, are you preparing to leave? It seems we've come at the wrong time," Ning Fengzhi said with a slight smile.

"Not at all, it's just that I need to go out for something trivial. Please come in." Tang Xiao stepped aside and gestured for Ning Fengzhi and Jian Daochenxin to enter the room.

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo entered the room, and Tang San and the others saw them. When Ning Rongrong saw that Ning Fengzhi had arrived, she immediately rushed to his side.

"Dad, Grandpa Jian, why did you suddenly come?" Ning Rongrong said happily as she hugged Ning Fengzhi.

"Alright, you really haven't grown up yet. Your companions are all here." Ning Fengzhi ruffled Ning Rongrong's hair and said with a doting smile.

Ning Rongrong hugged Ning Fengzhi, then came to Jian Daochenxin. The usually calm and collected Jian Daochenxin broke down upon seeing Ning Rongrong and happily hugged her.

"Sect Leader Tang, Dean Flander, it seems you've encountered some difficulties." Ning Fengzhi glanced around the hall and noticed the state of Tang San and the others.

"We're not happy about Sect Leader Ning, we were just about to go out and find a healing Soul Master for these children," Flander said, not hiding anything from Ning Fengzhi.

"Yes, I knew it. They've fought to the point of being completely out of supplies today. These kids really tried their best." Ning Fengzhi said, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul appeared in his hand. He controlled the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to come above Tang San and the others. The seven-colored light shone brightly, and six beams of light split off and merged into Tang San and the other six.

"Thank you so much, Sect Leader Ning, for your generosity in treating the children's injuries and restoring their strength." Tang Xiao quickly thanked Ning Fengzhi for his help upon seeing this.

"It's alright, that's all I came for. There's really nothing else." Ning Fengzhi withdrew his martial spirit and smiled calmly.

"Thank you, Sect Leader Ning," Tang San and the others said as they approached Ning Fengzhi.

"Mm," Ning Fengzhi responded with a smile.

"Sect Master Ning, don't stand, sit down quickly. Xiao San, you all go back to your rooms to recover your soul power." Tang Xiao called to Ning Fengzhi, letting Tang San and the others leave.

"I didn't expect that the Spirit Hall team is not even in the same league as the other teams. They have been seriously underestimated. The Golden Generation has not revealed their spirit power level yet. Although we know that they may be at the Spirit Emperor level, we don't know exactly what level they are."

"Yes, it completely exceeded everyone's expectations. To be honest, we have less than a 30% chance of defeating the Spirit Hall team, even though we have one trump card."

After Tang San and his group left, Flander and Ning Fengzhi chatted idly.

While the Shrek team was discussing their plans, the Heavenly Dou Royal team was also busy.

"Yanyan, Tianheng, I've made up my mind. I plan to enter the loser's bracket in the individual top three competition to maintain the team's best form. We'll defeat our opponents in the loser's bracket and then meet up with the winners in the winner's bracket to fight for the final championship. What are your opinions?" Instructor Qin Ming discussed with his team members.

“Teacher Qin, this decision is fine. We really don’t have a chance against the Spirit Hall team in the individual competition. I agree to concede in the winner’s bracket individual competition.” Dugu Yan agreed with Instructor Qin Ming without hesitation.

“Since you all agree, we naturally have no reason to disagree,” Yu Tianheng said without objection.

"Alright, it's decided then. I will concede defeat to the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall during the match tomorrow morning."

After Qin Ming finished speaking, he told the group to rest and meditate. Coincidentally, just like the Shrek team, they were waiting for his ideas, and the night was spent in meditation.

Chapter 168 The Heaven Dou Royal Family and Shrek Academy Both Admit Defeat

Early in the morning, Duan Yufan, Bibi Dong, and Hu Liena gathered in the cafeteria and had a simple breakfast.

Bibi Dong wore a little eye makeup, which was unusual for her, making her look more noble and majestic than usual. Coupled with the aura of someone who had long held a high position, it made people want to worship her.

The decorations alone were enough to amaze Duan Yufan and Hu Liena, who had been watching Bibi Dong every day, and they couldn't help but praise them.

"Alright, it's not like we've never seen this before. Why are you making such a fuss? The three-way competition is about to begin. As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, I have to be mindful of my appearance."

Seeing the somewhat surprised expressions on Duan Yufan and Hu Liena's faces, Bibi Dong smiled slightly and casually explained.

"Teacher, you've thought of everything so thoroughly. But because we see you every day, your appearance right now is quite surprising to Nana and me," Duan Yufan said, praising Bibi Dong without reservation.

"Yes, teacher, your light makeup today makes you look not only twice as young, but also more elegant and dignified."

"And I've noticed that you look better and younger lately, teacher. Standing next to me, you look like an older sister who's only a few years older than me. It's really strange."

"Teacher, have you made another breakthrough? That's why you look so young."

Hu Liena, with teary eyes and chattering away, praised Bibi Dong for a long time, her tone full of envy.
