With a cracking sound, Tang San pressed down on Xiao Wu, coughing up mouthfuls of blood.
"No! Third Brother!!" Xiao Wu cried out in terror.
"No...it's nothing." Tang San felt pain in his back, as if his bones were broken.
"We surrender! We surrender!!!" At this moment, the instructors from Thunder Academy stepped forward.
"Heavenly Dou Royal Academy wins!!" The referee nodded.
With the conclusion of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy's competition, the fourth round of the finals has come to a complete end.
In the end, only the three strongest teams remained.
The teams are: Tiandou Royal Academy Team, Wuhun Academy Team, and Tianshui Academy Team.
The three major teams are basically intact.
The finals are just around the corner; we're only one step away from the ultimate championship.
After disbanding.
Hu Liena slowly walked up to Xiao Ze. "Tomorrow is the final match, and I won't hold back."
"Little fox, you should take a good look at how you'll cry tomorrow if you lose," Xiao Ze said with a smile.
"Damn it! Screw you!" Hu Liena had known Xiao Ze for quite some time and knew that he could be a real jerk at times.
"What's wrong with Sister Erlong?" Ning Rongrong asked.
"Hu Liena is Bibi Dong's student. She took care of us when we were here. It seems she has developed feelings for Xiao Ze," Liu Erlong said.
Ning Rongrong nodded: "It seems that Xiao Ze's charm is still very strong. Even Bibi Dong's students like him."
Liu Erlong sighed inwardly, "It's more than that."
She felt that Bibi Dong was almost there too; that crazy woman was becoming more and more gentle.
That's right, it's gentleness, it's unbelievable.
However, it has nothing to do with her; Ning Rongrong is the true empress.
Whether they can succeed depends on Ning Rongrong.
Yan was a little furious when he saw Hu Liena and Xiao Ze bickering, but he was already used to it.
Seeing this, Xie Yue sighed softly. Love is just that irrational.
Fortunately, he doesn't like women.
"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. We'll definitely win tomorrow." Of course, this was just Hu Liena cheering herself on. After seeing Xiao Ze's fight today, she knew she didn't have much of a chance of winning.
Even teachers don't have high hopes for themselves.
She and her brother have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, so don't Xiao Ze's summoned beasts have fusion skills?
Therefore, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill is not the key to victory.
"Great! Our Brother Xiao Ze has found another beauty, and she's a little fox at that." Ning Rongrong walked gracefully to Xiao Ze with her hands behind her back.
Xiao Ze was a little embarrassed. He hadn't brought this up yet, mainly because he and Hu Liena hadn't officially started dating.
"Alright, stop explaining. I know you perfectly well. I'll get to know her in a while," Ning Rongrong said.
Xiao Ze was deeply moved. She truly deserved to be his empress. No wonder she was the empress.
He pinched Ning Rongrong's soft cheek and said, "Alright, let's go have a nice meal. The finals are tomorrow. Bing'er and Yue'er won't be participating, so we'll have a one-on-one match with Wuhun Academy to decide the winner."
"Understood."
...
After being healed by the healing-type Soul Master, the students from Thunder Academy leaned against the wall, looking somewhat listless.
Although they knew they couldn't win, they were beaten half to death without even having a chance to fight back. It was unbelievable.
They didn't even get a good look at Xiao Ze's face.
"Alright, stop it. It's normal that we can't beat Xiao Ze. Tomorrow is the finals, and the Pope said that all the top ten teams can go watch the finals," Yu Tianheng said.
"If even the Martial Soul Academy can't beat the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, then I'll feel much better," Yu Liuli said with a smile.
"It's hard to say. I feel that Wuhun Academy really can't beat them. Their soul power is about the same as that of Tiandou Royal Academy. But apart from the three members of the Golden Generation, the others are relatively weak, so in the end it still depends on those three."
Zhu Linlin pouted: "What's so interesting about it? Can the three of them even beat Xiao Ze?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's lips twitched; it was indeed difficult to say such a thing.
There are three Soul Kings and one powerful Summoning Soul King, and this Summoning Soul King is incredibly strong. I'm afraid we really can't beat them.
"This has nothing to do with us. We'll find out when we go and see for ourselves."
After resting for a while, Tang San went for a stroll in the streets, feeling somewhat down.
Even though I have twin martial souls and innate full soul power, why do I feel such a big gap between myself and Xiao Ze?
Is his martial spirit really that powerful?
It's unbelievable that someone could rely on innate level 2 soul power.
Tang San passed by the entrance of the Spirit Hall and saw his teacher again.
My teacher is now in a half-dead state, and seems to have lost 40 or 50 pounds, leaving only skin and bones.
Tang San disliked Yu Xiaogang, even considering him a good-for-nothing.
But no matter what, Yu Xiaogang was still his teacher.
He still respects his teachers.
But he was unable to save his teacher.
The teacher comes from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan. Even the people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan are unwilling to offend the Spirit Hall. What can a mere Soul Master like myself do?
So... we can only let the teacher suffer.
I just hope the Spirit Hall won't kill my teacher. Maybe there will be a chance to rescue him later.
...
The next day.
The square in front of the Papal Palace was gilded by the morning light, and the air was solemn.
The three participating teams waited quietly here.
The remaining seven observation teams stood on both sides.
"This is the Papal Palace! It's so magnificent!"
"Of course, after all, the Pope is the most honored person in the Spirit Hall, and even the most honored person on the continent."
On both sides of the Papal Palace, there are Paladin Knights lined up from the front of the Papal Palace down the mountain, wearing bright silver armor and carrying heavy knight swords.
A sense of majesty washes over you.
Of the three participating academies, Tiandou Royal Academy and Tianshui Academy were very relaxed, chatting amongst themselves, but the seven members of Wuhun Academy were quite nervous.
They clearly saw the strength of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy; it was truly astonishing.
The paladin knights suddenly struck their sword hilts simultaneously, the clanging of their silver armor rising in waves.
The heavy main gate of the Papal Palace slowly opened, and twelve cardinals walked out.
They stood on the left and right, six people on each side.
"His Holiness the Pope has arrived."
"Welcome, Your Holiness the Pope!"
"Long live the Emperor!! Long live the Emperor!!!" A roar like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting resounded throughout Wuhun City.
It wasn't just the voices from Pope Mountain; most of the Soul Masters in Wuhun City also shouted.
This shows the Pope's status in people's hearts.
Xiao Ze remarked that "Long live the Pope" was still not as impactful as "Long live the people."
But this is a world where strength reigns supreme, so this is all that can be done.
It's already quite good if people at the bottom of society can live happily
