Chapter 128 Sun and Moon Team Admits Defeat
Huang Jinxu hurriedly pulled the three Sun Moon Team members, who were about to be burned to ashes, from Ma Xiaotao's hands, and turned towards the imperial city, saying in a deep voice:
"In the final team battle of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, Shrek Academy emerges victorious. Both sides will have one minute to rest before the individual elimination rounds begin. Each side must also select its seven participants for the elimination rounds; once decided, no changes are permitted."
"Oh ho? You guys took this long to finish?" The golden light screen that had been standing on the competition stage finally dissipated, and a smug voice rang out.
It was Xu Sanshi who mentioned Ma Xiaotao being trapped for a quarter of an hour at the beginning of the game, while Xu Sanshi was also carrying Xiao Xiafeng, who was bruised and unconscious.
Xu Sanshi ultimately did not let Xiao Xiafeng off the hook.
The flames that would burn Xiao Xiafeng to ashes could actually withstand Xu Sanshi for half an hour without any problem.
If Xu Sanshi didn't have the ability, he wouldn't be qualified to suppress Ma Xiaotao's evil fire, would he?
As a result, even after Xu Sanshi kindly reminded him, Xiao Xiafeng actually pulled Xu Sanshi into the absolute defense soul tool as well.
It was obvious that this was an attempt to trap Xu Sanshi, and Xu Sanshi naturally wouldn't hold back anymore, smashing the turtle shell directly at his head.
Now they've thrown the paralyzed Xiao Xiafeng back to the Sun and Moon team's rest area.
Old Ma rushed forward and caught Xiao Xiafeng before he collapsed to the ground.
"Yuhao, well done!"
As soon as Huo Yuhao returned to the rest area, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and the others gathered around him.
"Junior brother, well done!" He Caitou patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder.
The light that shone into the eyes of the Sun and Moon team members on the competition stage was not hard to spot.
Those reserve team members who knew Huo Yuhao or even witnessed him using this tactic knew best that the beam of light came from Huo Yuhao.
As a Soul Master, He Caitou naturally knew best how annoying it was when a blinding ray of light pierced his eyes when he was aiming. He Caitou closed his eyes and could even imagine the scene of the Sun and Moon Team cursing.
Unlike the relaxed atmosphere on Shrek's side, the atmosphere on the Sun and Moon team was extremely somber.
Xiao Hongchen is severely overdrawn, Meng Hongchen is in a coma, Xiao Xiafeng is in a coma, and Ma Rulong is overdrawn.
The Sun and Moon team was suddenly left with only three regular members and five reserve members.
On the other hand, on Shrek Academy's side, only Dai Yueheng was seriously injured; the others mostly suffered only minor scratches, which could probably be healed with a single soul skill.
Even if Dai Yueheng can't participate in the individual competition, it's feasible for him to give up one combatant in the individual competition after a short rest.
Moreover, even with all their trump cards, the Sun and Moon team still couldn't win against Shrek in their strongest team battle. Even if their strength was complete, how could they possibly compete with Shrek in individual battles?
Old Ma couldn't figure out how the Sun and Moon team could break the deadlock at this point.
"Sigh~" Looking at his grandson, who was exhausted and receiving full treatment from a healing-type soul master, Old Ma sighed deeply.
How could he not see why his grandson, knowing he was doomed to defeat, was still overdrawing his potential?
"A higher rank can crush you." For the sake of a better future, delaying for a year is already a good outcome. By making this sacrifice, I can pave the way for others later.
This match is already beyond saving...
Then let's admit defeat.
A minute passed quickly, and the Shrek Academy individual competition team members once again stepped onto the Soul Arena. They were Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, Xixi, Beibei, Gongyang Mo, He Caitou, and Dai Yueheng.
It's obvious that Shrek Academy has fielded almost all of its top-tier combat power, while Huo Yuhao's cultivation level is still a bit weak, so he'll have to sit on the bench with Wang Dong in the individual competition and the finals.
However, based on Teacher Wang's analysis, the Sun and Moon team will most likely concede defeat.
There's no way around it; their fighting force has been basically wiped out. The next match is against Shrek Academy's forte: individual combat. It's not shameful for the Sun and Moon Team to admit defeat.
Sure enough, when the players were about to enter the waiting area, the Sun and Moon team's waiting area was empty.
The next moment, the voice of the Heavenly Fiend Douluo rang out again, announcing that everything had unfolded as Wang Yan had predicted:
"As confirmed by this referee, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy forfeits the individual competition and concedes defeat. Shrek Academy wins the individual competition."
Upon hearing the pronouncement of the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, a murmur of discussion immediately arose in the audience. Those who were slow to react were still discussing the Sun Moon Team's surrender, while the quick-witted ones had already realized the final result of this Soul Master Competition.
As expected, the voice of the Heavenly Fiend Douluo rang out again:
"According to the final rules, the finalists will compete in three matches: team battle, individual battle, and 2-2-3 strategy. The best-of-three format will determine the champion. Shrek has already won the team battle and the individual battle."
At this point, even the slow-witted viewers had already realized who the champion was.
Facing the tens of thousands of spectators in Starfall Square, Heavenly Fiend Douluo cleared his throat and announced:
"Therefore, I hereby declare the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament concluded. The final champion is—"
"Shrek Academy Team"
The cheers, like an avalanche, finally erupted in full force at that moment.
Even though the ice fog made it impossible for them to see Shrek's group's movements for a long time, the fog still covered them.
But Shrek Academy once again defended its title, receiving cheers from all the spectators.
Even Wang Dong excitedly grabbed Huo Yuhao's hand and waved it, shouting, "We are the champions!"
Xiao Xiao watched this scene with a smile on her face, but for some reason, the smile looked a little strange.
Taotie Douluo Xuanlao arrived at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy immediately and stopped them all.
"None of you are allowed to leave. Hand over that greatsword from the match!"
As early as when the team battle ended, Xixi told Elder Xuan about the Judgment Greatsword.
Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan immediately flew into a rage.
Infusing people with a dark aura? How is that any different from being a demonic spirit master?
Xuanzi hates evil spirit masters the most!
In particular, a sense of lingering fear arose in his heart. If this evil energy had entered Ma Xiaotao's body, who knows how much trouble it would have caused.
This thing that threatens the mainland must be kept in the care of Shrek Academy!
Thus, the scene unfolded where Elder Xuan stopped the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team and demanded their soul tools.
The instructor leading the team from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy (not Elder Ma, who was more like Elder Xuan to keep things under control) was still somewhat disoriented. With Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen both seriously injured, he might be dismissed from his post when he returned.
However, while the teacher in charge remained, Old Ma overheard what Old Xuan said.
"You Shrek Academy students shouldn't push your luck! That's an eighth-level soul tool produced by the Mingde Hall of our Sun Moon Empire, its value is immeasurable. How can we just give it away because of your word!"
