The other students from Tianshui Academy and Plant Academy, such as Snow Dance and Qiu Ruoshui, saw the aura emanating from their captains at the back of the team and showed envious eyes.
—That was an aura completely different from a normal Spirit Master's duel, as if the effect of Spirit attachment had been brought to an extremely high level. Every move was drawing upon the power of the Spirit. Yes, it was drawing, not relying. The Spirit was not a necessity, as if even without their Spirit, they possessed combat power beyond ordinary people.
Only after the five senior and junior sisters exchanged basic unique skills did they return to their respective teams and truly engage in team combat.
The clashes between Shui Binger, Yao Zi, Mu Yunzhu, and Mu Yunteng were all back and forth, with Shui Binger even gaining the upper hand.
But Shui Yueer was miserable. As the saying goes, "a long inch is a strong inch." Fist techniques were inherently at a disadvantage against whip and sword techniques. Moreover, she was water-elemental, which was countered by plant-elemental, and her spirit power was several levels lower.
As amazing as she was when she used flowing water to refract and conduct electricity to counter Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng, she was just as disheveled now.
Shui Yueer, overall performance score: last place.
"Sis, we're originally two bodies, one entity, right?"
"Sis, ice is water's second form. We are ice and water as one. If Teacher asks, your combat record is my combat record, isn't it?"
"Uh, can it be calculated that way?" This was a path Shui Binger had never considered.
"Yes, it can!"
Shui Yueer's lively, playful eyes darted around. "We, ice and water, are originally one!"
"Sister, go! You can't beat them alone, but we can definitely do it together if we combine!"
"Huh? Yue'er, isn't it that *you* can't beat them?"
"Oh, don't get so hung up on the details! Why should we two sisters be so clear about our boundaries? In the future, my and Teacher's child will also call you Mom! See how generous I am!"
"Ah???"

The giant Ice Phoenix's breath and wings collided with the giant sparrow wielding long green snake vines. In the struggle between the Ice Phoenix and the Fire Sparrow, who would be stronger?
A violent sound erupted across the entire arena. Frost evaporated into water vapor that spread across half the sky of the arena. When the water vapor dissipated, Yao Zi, Mu Yunteng, Mu Yunzhu, and the other students from Plant Academy emerged, looking weak and dejected:
"We lost."
Shui Binger slightly cupped her hands. More than half of the spirit power in their bodies was also depleted:
"You only studied Martial Soul Fusion Skill theory and unique skills for about half a month. To be able to exert such power is already very impressive. If you had studied for a bit longer, we might have been in a tough battle, or even lost the match."
"Tianshui Academy wins, securing the runner-up position!"
At this moment, the referee came to his senses and announced the match results.
The final rankings of this Soul Master Competition finals:
Heart of Fire Academy crowned champion.
Tianshui Academy, runner-up.
Plant Academy, third place.
