Soul bones, they really were soul bones!
Even though they had already heard the news, when they truly saw these three soul bones, everyone present couldn't help but tremble in body and mind.
Even the people from the Spirit Hall showed greed in their eyes.
The three soul bones emitted lights of different colors that shot into the sky. The colorful glow from the soul bones could be seen throughout the entire Spirit City.
If it weren't for the presence of several Title Douluo here, someone would have already rushed forward to seize them.
There was no need to explain the importance of soul bones.
No matter what level a soul master was, they would feel their heart move upon seeing a soul bone.
Even Jiang Chen had some thoughts.
Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, standing behind Bibi Dong, spoke in a low, drifting voice as he introduced the attributes and ages of the three soul bones.
At this moment, the twenty-one young soul masters on the field all erupted with intense fighting spirit.
Bibi Dong continued, "This morning's competition is the individual elimination round. The team that persists until the end will directly advance to tomorrow's championship final. The two eliminated teams will compete in the afternoon for the other spot in the finals."
In the individual elimination round, each match was limited to seven participants. If all seven lost, they could only fight in the afternoon for that one remaining finals spot.
Jiang Chen watched calmly. He was already confident. Unless something unexpected happened, he wouldn't need to take action today.
Sure enough, in the following proceedings, Grandmaster directly announced that Shrek Academy would forfeit the morning individual elimination round and automatically enter the afternoon qualifier match.
Grandmaster's idea was simple but very far-sighted.
In Shrek Academy, aside from Tang San and Dai Mubai, everyone else was still at the Soul Venerable rank. The individual elimination round was extremely disadvantageous for them.
No matter how brilliantly they had won previous matches, once they participated in the individual elimination round, how could soul masters like Ma Hongjun and Zhu Zhuqing, who were only a little over thirty levels, possibly defeat the members of Spirit Hall Academy and Divine Wind Academy?
Even the slightly weaker Divine Wind Academy currently had a full roster of Soul Ancestors.
Participating in the individual elimination round would definitely result in a loss, and it would also consume a large amount of energy and possibly cause injuries. It was better to forfeit and directly enter the afternoon qualifier battle.
Therefore, knowing they would lose, Grandmaster directly chose to forfeit and preserve their strength for the afternoon fight.
The afternoon battle would be a team competition. Shrek's individual strength was lacking, so team battles were their best choice.
Bibi Dong didn't say much. Anyone with even a little intelligence could understand the Grandmaster's thinking.
Moreover, forfeiting was also the right of the participants; even the Pope could not stop it.
After Grandmaster announced their withdrawal from the morning matches, the Divine Wind Academy team's faces turned ugly.
After discussing among themselves, they also chose to forfeit the individual elimination round and agreed to fight Shrek Academy in the afternoon for that one spot.
Divine Wind Academy fighting head-on against Spirit Hall Academy would be thankless and they would most likely lose. It was better to preserve their strength and deal with Shrek Academy in the afternoon.
Thus, without a single match being played in the morning, Spirit Hall Academy directly advanced to tomorrow's final championship match.
All the academies dispersed. Jiang Chen did not return to the hotel.
He had already discussed it with Qian Renxue. During these few days, they could not frequently travel back and forth between the hotel and the Pope's Palace, otherwise they might be noticed by people with ulterior motives.
Jiang Chen attended the afternoon qualifier match to watch.
Sure enough, Shrek Academy used their Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
Jiang Chen had to admit that Grandmaster was indeed a research genius, though his theories lacked practice.
One could see the Grandmaster's ability from the fusion technique displayed by seven people with different martial souls.
Martial soul heteromorphic fusion was not something just anyone could achieve. Grandmaster's research was indeed unique.
What Jiang Chen found somewhat regrettable was that in the original story, Tang San had broken through to the seventieth rank with his own soul power due to the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique and thus displayed the Clear Sky Hammer's Tool Soul True Body. However, in the afternoon's performance, the Tool Soul True Body did not appear.
It was obvious that the Shrek team's overall soul power was too low. Even the soul power stacking from the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique had not exceeded the seventieth rank.
However, it was already enough to deal with Divine Wind Academy.
Jiang Chen sensed that this Seven-in-One Fusion Technique had raised Tang San's soul power at the front to over the sixtieth rank.
Feng Xiaotian tried to use his self-created soul skill, Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes again, but was smashed off the stage by a single hammer strike from Tang San.
With his soul power greatly increased, Tang San used Blue Silver Grass combined with the Clear Sky Hammer and ultimately blasted all members of Divine Wind Academy off the stage.
With this, Shrek Academy advanced to tomorrow's championship final.
This result was beyond the expectations of everyone except Jiang Chen.
The Heavenly Dou Imperial Academy, originally the second strongest team, had been eliminated by Spirit Hall early on.
Now, Divine Wind Academy, which appeared much stronger than Shrek Academy, had also been defeated.
Jiang Chen glanced over. The one who had been blasted off the stage, the fierce big sister Huo Wu, nearly fainted from anger.
She had sacrificed Blazing Fire Academy just to openly defeat Tang San and vent the resentment in her heart.
She hadn't expected to lose both the battle and the resources. Blazing Fire Academy's price was joining Spirit Hall, and she had also failed to defeat Tang San on the competition stage as she wished.
...
At night, inside the Pope's Palace, in the council hall.
Bibi Dong sat at the highest throne, with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo seated on either side of her.
Below them stood the seven members of the Spirit Hall Academy team.
Among them were Bibi Dong's two disciples and the disciples of the elders.
Bibi Dong said calmly, "The Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique that Shrek Academy displayed today cannot be underestimated. However, according to the tactics I mentioned earlier, it won't be difficult to break their fusion technique. Do you all understand?"
"Understood."
"However, based on my understanding of Yu Xiaogang, Shrek Academy is very likely not to use this fusion technique again tomorrow. I won't arrange tomorrow's tactics; I'll leave them to Jiang Chen."
"Yes, Teacher," Jiang Chen responded loudly.
The two Soul Ancestor team members in the squad looked at Jiang Chen in shock.
This newly arrived member was actually the Pope's disciple, and for this final and most important battle, the Pope had actually entrusted the arrangements to Jiang Chen.
Ghost Douluo's somewhat sinister voice sounded, "Tomorrow's match, you can only win, you cannot lose. If anyone performs poorly, I will throw you into the Lost Grand Canyon to train for a few years."
Upon hearing this place, everyone except Jiang Chen shivered.
That kind of hellish place could probably only be survived by ghosts. If they were really thrown there for a few years, they probably wouldn't be able to return.
"Alright, all of you withdraw. Little Chen and Nana stayed behind," Bibi Dong waved her hand.
Xie Yue and the others left, and Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo also departed.
Once only the three masters and disciples remained in the hall, the suffocating majesty of Bibi Dong disappeared, replaced by a gentle smile.
"Little Chen, the teacher has entrusted this task to you. Do you have the confidence to win the championship?"
Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Teacher, I have confidence. However, can I freely arrange the tactics for tomorrow's battle?"
Bibi Dong stood up from the throne, walked down, and stood in front of Jiang Chen.
"You may arrange freely. The honor of Spirit Hall is entrusted to you."
"Teacher, rest assured. We will definitely not lose," Jiang Chen said while patting his chest in guarantee.
"Oh? It looks like you already have an idea. Can you tell me about it?" Bibi Dong looked at Jiang Chen with a smile.
Jiang Chen looked at Bibi Dong before him, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "Teacher, I want to defeat Shrek Academy with my strength alone."
