Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

Chapter 166: The End and the Finale

The entire Canghui team became idiots, and only one member of the Shrek team remained standing before being eliminated.

No one expected the match to end in such a brutal manner.

Despite Canghui Academy's strong condemnation and demand for an investigation from the organizing committee, the matter ultimately came to nothing.

Although Platinum Bishop Salas had considered taking this opportunity to eliminate Shrek as a threat, he still obediently backed down in the face of the Grandmaster's papal decree and the pressure from Ning Fengzhi.

In this Soul Master Competition, Canghui Academy was undoubtedly the biggest loser.

However, Shrek Academy's situation wasn't much better. The Seven-in-One Fusion Technique from Canghui Academy dealt an unimaginable blow to the Shrek students.

The master originally thought that with Tang San's extraordinary mental strength and skills, he could lead the team out of the predicament, so he did not announce his surrender at the beginning.

Fortunately, Haotian Douluo intervened and saved the Shrek Academy students.

If this were delayed even a moment longer, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I'm sorry, mistress."

At this moment, Shrek Academy had returned to its infirmary, where Tang San was guarding Xiao Wu's bedside.

Master walked up to Tang San with self-reproach. He had already learned from Tang San's description that the Fusion Technique of Canghui Academy made them experience the most terrifying thing: endless pain and torment.

Tang San had the strongest mental strength and was barely able to recognize the illusion. He wasn't greatly affected, so he was the only one who was able to stand up in the end.

"Teacher, it's not your fault." Tang San gritted his teeth, but ultimately couldn't say anything. After all, this was his competition, and Master had given him the autonomy from the beginning.

His regret was that he had misjudged the strength of Canghui Academy. If he had chosen to surrender from the beginning, Xiao Wu would not have suffered such harm.

Recalling Xiao Wu's wailing back then, he wished he could tear those guys from Canghui Academy to pieces.

And we also have to blame that fat guy. If it weren't for his foul mouth, how could they have such a big grudge against Canghui Academy?

Looking back now, their hatred for Canghui Academy seems utterly inexplicable.

It wasn't until the next day that Xiao Wu and the others finally woke up, and Flander and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The nightmare dreamscape of Canghui Academy is ultimately just mental torture rather than mental destruction.

It's like having a very real nightmare. If there's not enough time, the damage to the body is actually quite limited. Although there are some headaches and stress reactions, the overall problem isn't very serious.

Even Ma Hongjun, who was so scared that he wet himself, was almost able to get out of bed the next day, but he was too ashamed to go out.

Even if someone were beaten to death on the field, no one has ever been as humiliated as him. Overall, he made history.

The qualifiers continued in this atmosphere.

The Shrek team forfeited for three consecutive days due to injuries, and only returned to the arena on the fourth day under Tang San's leadership. At this time, the preliminary rounds were only halfway through.

Shrek's return has undoubtedly made all the participating teams take notice.

In the previous battle, the power of Canghui Academy's "Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill" put immense pressure on all the teams. They even believed that Canghui Academy was the undisputed champion of this year's competition, and that Lu Mingfei had to take a backseat.

Even under such circumstances, Shrek Academy still won, which made everyone wonder how Shrek Academy managed to achieve victory.

So in the days that followed, every free team member became a stalker, watching Shrek Academy's every move around the clock during each of their matches.

Tang San, the absolute soul of the group, has become the focus of everyone's attention, even surpassing Lu Mingfei in popularity.

Rumors have even circulated in Tiandou City that Shrek Academy has a real chance of defeating Lu Mingfei and winning the championship.

Lu Mingfei was naturally delighted with this. With Tang San becoming a rising star, the attention he was receiving had finally decreased considerably.

Lu Mingfei didn't care about Shrek Academy and Canghui Academy, but Tang Hao's intervention still served as a wake-up call for him.

This Haotian Douluo dotes on his precious son.

He and Tang San have a lot of grudges, and who knows when this Haotian Douluo might really come knocking on his door.

Lu Mingfei had no doubt that if he hadn't cleanly dealt with the first wave of people who tried to ambush him and created the illusion that he had a titled Douluo protecting him, this Haotian Douluo would have come to threaten and warn him long ago, even if he hadn't attacked him.

Fortunately, the final venue for this Soul Master Competition was changed to Wuhun City, so at least his safety should be guaranteed during the competition.

Days passed by, and soon the final day of the qualifiers arrived.

The only interesting thing about today's match is the game between Shrek Academy and Tianshui Academy.

Both academies had already secured their spots in the next round, so the outcome wouldn't matter. However, they were probably gathering information in advance for the finals. Naturally, Tianshui Academy didn't want to let Shrek Academy, the favorite to win the championship, slip away.

Both sides fielded their strongest lineups, with even Ma Hongjun, who had been absent for almost half a month, returning to the field.

He had heard that the captain of Tianshui Academy possessed the Martial Soul of an Ice Phoenix, which was a perfect match for him. So he prepared to perform well and see if he could win the heart of the beauty, and perhaps in the future, he could even have the opportunity to form a Phoenix Clan.

However, this idea completely vanished after the Tianshui Academy used its Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

Unlike the previous battle against Blazing Academy where they could rely on their flight advantage to launch a sneak attack with the Eight Spider Lances, Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix was the true overlord of the sky, and Tang San's Blue Silver Grass and Eight Spider Lances didn't even have a chance to touch her.

In the end, the entire ring was almost destroyed. If Flander hadn't quickly announced his surrender, the entire Shrek team would have been seriously injured.

The five teams that have advanced to the finals have now been determined: Shenfeng Academy, Leiting Academy, Chihuo Academy, Tianshui Academy, and Shrek Academy.

These five academies, along with the ten teams selected from the preliminary rounds of the other ducal kingdoms, will participate in the Heavenly Battle Division's qualifying rounds a month later.

The qualifying rounds were still irrelevant to Lu Mingfei and his team; for the sake of fairness, they weren't even allowed to watch the matches.

However, it was indeed unnecessary, because the one who won first place in the qualifying round was Feng Xiaotian, who had the exhibition match with Lu Mingfei at the beginning.

In the singles elimination tournament, Feng Xiaotian, who possesses the ability to fly, has a significant advantage and can be considered the most outstanding among all players.

When facing Tang San, you can directly kite him from a distance to wear him down; even if the Eight Spider Lances are poisonous, they are useless if they can't hit him.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex of Thunder Academy was so powerful that Tang San couldn't get close to it.

Therefore, Shrek only achieved third place in the end.

Three days after the qualifying rounds ended, the teams heading to the finals were already at the gates of Tiandou City, ready to depart.
