In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

"Who is your sister Huowu? Did I give you permission to call me sister Huowu?" Huowu turned her gaze to Feng Xiaotian and said coquettishly.

"I..." Feng Xiaotian looked bitter. After losing to Lan Si, he originally planned to give up on pursuing Huo Wu. But then Huo Wu came to him again, saying that she wanted to give him another chance, which was to join forces with Blazing Fire Academy in the finals to defeat Lan Si.

And now... sigh, is this what Lan Si meant by "a simp never dies a good death, and ends up with nothing after licking his boots"?

But I genuinely like Mai Shiranui...

Seeing Feng Xiaotian embarrassed by his younger sister's retort, Huo Wushuang, the former captain of Blazing Fire Academy, quickly changed the subject: "Alright, sister, with a formidable enemy at hand, we should focus on defeating Shrek Academy first before thinking about anything else. They were able to defeat Thunder Academy in the preliminaries, so their strength is not weak. Moreover, that Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Master named Xiao Wu has also advanced to Soul Master. In total, Shrek Academy has five Soul Masters. Add to that Tang San's twin martial souls and external soul bones, and this will be a tough battle."

Honestly, as Huo Wu's brother, he would prefer his sister to be with Feng Xiaotian rather than Lan Si. He could see that Feng Xiaotian genuinely loved his sister and was willing to give everything for her. Moreover, Feng Xiaotian was quite talented; if his sister were with him, she was destined for a happy life.

In contrast, Lan Si already has a girlfriend. Moreover, that girlfriend was stolen from Dai Mubai, the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, making him destined to be an enemy of the Star Luo Empire. He is very likely to face pursuit from the Star Luo Empire in the future. His sister's safety is simply not guaranteed if she stays with him.

Most importantly, the other party had no interest in her sister at all; on the contrary, it was her sister who was somewhat one-sided in her feelings.

This caused him, as the older brother, a lot of worry.

After hearing Huo Wushuang's words, Huo Wu fell silent. Although her current academy, Shenfeng Academy, had seven Soul Masters, Shrek Academy was indeed not easy to deal with. She had to be cautious.

Before long, the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and the Spirit Hall Academy defeated their respective opponents and successfully advanced to the top three.

The fourth round of the finals finally brought the most anticipated match: Shenfeng Academy, with all its members at the Soul Master level, faced off against Shrek Academy.

After Lan Si revealed his twin martial souls in the past two days, many people present have learned that Tang San is also a twin martial soul possessor.

The previous owner of twin martial souls was already so powerful, so how much strength will Tang San be able to unleash? Everyone is equally eager to find out.

Before long, the two teams stepped onto the arena from both sides.

Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang, as the core of the Divine Wind Team, faced off against Tang San and Dai Mubai.

Feng Xiaotian stood at the forefront, looking at Tang San, and said with a faint smile, "Tang San, I really didn't expect that we would face off again so soon."

Tang San didn't answer, only a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes. In his view, Shenfeng Academy's acceptance of the merger with Chihuo Academy was already a step down, forfeiting their chance for a fair and square competition. They would have no further chances in this match.

Chapter 229 Shenfeng Academy vs. Shrek Academy

Huo Wu, who was standing to the side, saw the contempt in Tang San's eyes. Her fiery temper immediately came out, and she said coquettishly, "What are you so arrogant about? You are just a defeated opponent. You only rely on having twin martial souls. Lan Si also has them. What happened? He didn't even have to use his second martial soul. He beat you all down by himself."

Lan Si can be said to be a taboo in Tang San's heart, or even a taboo in the entire Shrek Academy. Upon hearing this, everyone in Shrek frowned, especially Tang San, whose face could be described as ferocious, his pupils filled with murderous intent.

Meeting Tang San's gaze, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and the others instinctively sensed danger and frowned. However, they did not recognize each other. Before the competition even started, the air was already filled with the smell of gunpowder.

At the referee's signal, all fourteen Soul Masters from both teams summoned their Martial Souls.

The competition has officially begun.

Two yellow and two purple soul rings rose from beneath her feet, and Huo Wu shouted, "Feng Xiaotian, ascend!"

The seven members of the Divine Wind Academy suddenly changed their formation. Without any fancy moves, they chose their opponents and attacked directly from the front.

Feng Xiaotian took the lead, his enormous azure wings unfurling from his back, rising fifty meters into the air before swooping down, his target Tang San. The remaining six, led by Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, followed closely behind.

Their tactics were simple: fully utilize the advantage of their seven Soul Masters, with the strongest, Feng Xiaotian, holding off Tang San, who possessed twin martial souls. Then, Huo Wu and the other six would defeat the remaining six members of Shrek Academy. Finally, they would turn around and attack Tang San.

On the other hand, almost everyone on Shrek Academy stood still, seemingly intending to defend instead of attack. But a closer look revealed that almost everyone had a slight smirk on their face, looking relaxed and carefree, clearly planning to feign weakness before delivering a devastating blow.

"Shenfeng Academy is going to lose." Lan Si, who was watching the match from outside the arena, murmured to himself. Under the gaze of his azure fiery eyes, Tang San's soul power had clearly reached level 49, and there was also a faint blue light shrouding his head. It was no surprise that he had fused with a head soul bone, and it was a head soul bone that had reached the ten-thousand-year level.

Hearing this, the members of Huang Dou looked puzzled. Yu Tianheng couldn't help but ask, "Really? Shenfeng Academy's overall strength is enough to rank among the top three in this competition. Even if Tang San has twin martial souls like you, they only have five Soul Masters, one of whom is a food-type. They shouldn't be able to defeat Shenfeng Academy. After all, every additional Soul Master in a Soul Master team greatly enhances the entire group. And vice versa."

Lan Si smiled without saying anything, offering no further explanation. He simply said to Ye Lingling, "Lingling, get ready to treat the injuries of the people from Shenfeng Academy. Although Feng Xiaotian is a sycophant, he's still a decent person."

Just as Feng Xiaotian, the captain of Shenfeng Academy, was about to approach Tang San.

Tang San's aura suddenly changed, and the two yellow and two purple spirit rings of his Blue Silver Grass spirit suddenly entered his body, replaced by four incredibly terrifying yet strange spirit rings of purple, black, black, and purple.

Black light surged in Tang San's hand, and a two-meter-long Clear Sky Hammer appeared out of thin air. At the same time, the second black spirit ring on his body suddenly lit up, and the Clear Sky Hammer shone brightly as he slammed it towards Feng Xiaotian, who was flying towards him.

"Oh no..." Feng Xiaotian never expected that Tang San would attach a spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer. Not to mention him, even Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo and others on the VIP platform did not expect it.

It was too late to dodge, so Feng Xiaotian had no choice but to use his Gale Wings to meet the attack.

However, Gale Wings was only a thousand-year soul skill, while Tang San's was a ten-thousand-year soul skill, and it was a ten-thousand-year soul skill unleashed by the Clear Sky Hammer, which was known as the 'Number One Weapon Soul Under Heaven'. Its power was unimaginable, and even with Feng Xiaotian's second soul skill, Demon Wolf Possession, it was still to no avail.

Not to mention that Tang San was five spirit power levels higher than Feng Xiaotian at this time.

When the two collided, the Gale Wings couldn't even stop Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer for a moment before shattering instantly. The Clear Sky Hammer continued its momentum and finally slammed into Feng Xiaotian's chest.

Feng Xiaotian's chest suddenly caved in, and he flew backward like a cannonball, finally crashing heavily off the competition stage.

The sudden and unexpected scene shocked everyone present. The members of the Divine Wind Academy only felt a dark shadow fly past their heads, and they all stopped in their tracks and subconsciously turned to look. When they saw Feng Xiaotian's miserable state, their pupils contracted in unison, and they froze on the spot, their eyes flashing with disbelief.

"Make your move." Tang San didn't care about all that; in fact, this was exactly what he wanted to see.

"Strike while the iron is hot." With this command, the six Shrek Soul Masters, including him, launched an attack simultaneously.

As expected, the result caught the six members of the Divine Wind Academy completely off guard.

As if venting his pent-up anger, Tang San, like a wolf among sheep, swung his Clear Sky Hammer and smashed it relentlessly. Huo Wu, who had previously mocked him, received special attention, and he used his first soul skill to ensure her life.

The Clear Sky Hammer soul skill, with an age of nine thousand years, struck Huo Wu directly.

Huo Wu's entire body seemed to fall apart instantly, her limbs twisting and deforming in the air before she crashed heavily onto the arena, following in Feng Xiaotian's footsteps. Huo Wushuang and the others were also badly injured. Although they reacted quickly, they were powerless against the Clear Sky Hammer equipped with purple-black soul rings. After being severely injured by Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer, they were mercilessly blasted off the arena by Dai Mubai and the others.

Kamikaze Academy suffered a crushing defeat.

The entire arena was deathly silent. Only the seven Shrek members remained on the arena.

No one expected that the previously powerful Shenfeng Academy, which had seven Soul Masters, would be defeated so badly, by the Clear Sky Hammer, which was hailed as the number one weapon spirit in the world.

However, compared to the defeat of Shenfeng Academy, more people were looking at Tang San with great interest, or rather, at the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang San's hand, and the four rather strangely configured spirit rings of purple, black, black, and purple on his body.

On the main VIP stand, Ning Fengzhi was slightly stunned. After a brief moment of surprise, he sneered inwardly. It must be said that Yu Xiaogang really did go to any lengths to become famous. In order to win this competition, she actually instigated Tang San to switch to cultivating his second martial soul ahead of schedule.

It seems Tang Hao really entrusted the wrong person. I wonder how Yu Xiaogang will explain himself when Tang Hao blames him later.

Yes, not only Ning Fengzhi, but almost everyone present who knew that Yu Xiaogang was Tang San's teacher subconsciously believed that it was Yu Xiaogang who instigated Tang San to switch to cultivating his second martial soul ahead of schedule.

Immediately, they all cast disdainful glances at Yu Xiaogang.

Chapter 230 Tang San wins, Yu Xiaogang loses face

The match ended in silence, with no one cheering for Shrek Academy. There was only lingering fear of Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others' ruthless methods, and disdain for Yu Xiaogang... Just for a moment's pleasure, they made a genius with twin martial souls switch to cultivating a second martial soul at the Soul Master stage—what a ridiculous idea!

At this moment, Lan Si and Ye Lingling also arrived at the opportune time. In fact, they had already set off before the seven members of Shenfeng Academy were blasted off the arena.

Lan Si first set the twisted limbs of the seven students from Shenfeng Academy one by one. Then, under Ye Lingling's area-of-effect healing, the injuries of the seven students from Shenfeng Academy recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then they gradually woke up.

"You were careless." These were the first words Lan Si spoke after Feng Xiaotian woke up. As for Huo Wu, who was looking at him with a strange gaze, he didn't pay her much attention. His motto in life had always been: if you flirt, you should marry. Since he didn't intend to marry her, he wouldn't flirt with her, much less have any contact with her.

After saying that, he led Ye Lingling back to the rest area of ​​the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

At the same time, as the referee announced the results of the match, Tang San and the rest of the Shrek Academy group stepped off the arena.

Perhaps because they had just defeated Shenfeng Academy, or perhaps to vent the psychological trauma they had suffered at Lan Si's hands over the past two years, their confidence soared. In order to provoke Lan Si, they deliberately took a roundabout route, walking off the arena from the direction Lan Si was in.

They bumped right into Lan Si and Ye Lingling, who had just healed the seven students from Shenfeng Academy. The seven pairs of eyes made no attempt to hide their provocation. Among them, Ma Hongjun, the Phoenix of the Brothel, even made a throat-slitting gesture towards Lan Si. His mockery was palpable.

"When did you start doing these crocodile tears and fake compassion?" Tang San whispered these words in Lan Si's ear the moment their bodies passed each other. After speaking, he deliberately shifted his body slightly to the right, intending to knock Lan Si to the ground with his shoulder.

With a muffled thud, a sharp pain instantly shot through Tang San's shoulder. He felt as if his shoulder had hit a granite block, and he staggered back several meters, almost bringing tears to his eyes from the pain.

Fortunately, Dai Mubai and the others were standing behind him and caught him; otherwise, he would have made a fool of himself today.

Seeing Tang San in pain and the six others, including Dai Mubai, who were furious, Lan Si smiled faintly and said, "You seem to have overestimated your strength. You think you can defeat me with this little bit of strength that you forcibly improved? You should just train for another ten thousand years."

After saying that, Lan Si, amidst the angry gazes of the Shrek Academy members, took Ye Lingling and left.

Only the Shrek Academy members remained, their eyes blazing with fury. Tang San stood up and rubbed his aching shoulders. Amidst his anger, he was secretly astonished. He had thought that after absorbing two ten-thousand-year soul rings, two nine-thousand-year soul rings, and the Ghost Eye Jade Lion head soul bone, his physique had far surpassed Lan Si's. However, he hadn't expected Lan Si's body to be as solid as a rock. In his memory, even Zhao Wuji, who possessed the Mighty Vajra Bear martial soul and was known for his strength, couldn't compare.

"Lan Si, just how strong have you become?" Watching Lan Si's departing figure, Tang San returned to the Shrek Academy rest area with intense fear and anger in his eyes.

As soon as Tang San returned to Shrek Academy's rest area, he sensed that something was off. There were no enthusiastic cheers or congratulations from his teachers; instead, there was only the chattering and pointing around him.

The gist is: Yu Xiaogang misled his disciples, causing Tang San to prematurely switch to cultivating a second martial soul, thus ruining his twin martial soul talent. Also, Shrek Academy is too violent, frequently injuring or maiming people... and so on.

In short, to sum it up in one sentence, Yu Xiaogang has misled students and is unfit to be a teacher. She has corrupted all the Shrek Academy students.

"Teacher, I'm going to confront them." After figuring out what had happened, Tang San turned around and headed toward the people around him who were pointing and whispering about Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang stopped him in time and sighed, "Forget it, Xiao San, I'm already used to being misunderstood by the world anyway. As long as you can become a powerful figure in the future, it doesn't matter if your teacher suffers a little grievance. If you argue with them, it may have a negative impact on your father's reputation."

"Teacher..." A warm feeling washed over Tang San. He hadn't expected that even at this critical moment, his teacher would still be thinking of him and his father. He immediately made a silent resolution that if he ever wanted to bring fame to his teacher, he would first have to get rid of Lan Si, this stumbling block.

...............

Three days later, the finals officially began.

As the sun rises in the early morning, its warm rays pour down, creating a unique and magnificent scene against the backdrop of the buildings atop Papal Hill, resembling a fairyland.

Before the Papal Palace, two rows of fully armed Knights Templar stretched from the foot of the mountain to the entrance of the Papal Palace building. Their gleaming golden armor and sharp, heavy golden lances made the entire Papal Hill appear even more majestic and solemn.

The eliminated teams have left in disappointment, and were not even allowed to watch the final round of matches.

Only the truly young and strong, those who make it into the final three teams, are qualified to step into the Papal Palace.

Of course, there were exceptions. One was the second team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, where Lan Si was. Besides Lan Si, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling, there were four other former second team soldiers. Everyone knew that their arrival was merely to make up the numbers.

Even so, it couldn't hide their excitement and the envy of others.

Because those talented young soul masters who used to look down on them are not qualified to step into this place.

All of this is thanks to their leader, whom they both respect and fear, the current captain of the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy: a legendary figure who has fought seven opponents since the preliminaries and has never been defeated, a genius with twin martial souls—Lan Si.

Shortly after, the side door of the Papal Palace opened, and twelve middle-aged men dressed in red slowly walked out. They were cardinals, second only to the platinum bishops in rank. The twelve men walked to the main entrance of the Papal Palace and stood in two rows of six, one on each side.

"His Holiness the Pope has arrived!" With the leader's shout, three thunderous voices, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, echoed throughout the entire Spirit City: "Long live... Long live... Long live..."

The sound traveled from the foot of the mountain to the top and back again, deafening and lingering throughout the entire Martial Soul City for a long time. At this moment, except for a few members of the Thousand Paths faction, everyone else in Martial Soul City stopped what they were doing, stood still, raised their hands, and shouted "Long live His Holiness the Pope!"

The enormous palace doors, over ten meters high, were opened, and Bibi Dong, dressed in a radiant gold gown, wearing a purple-gold crown, and holding an angel's scepter, slowly walked out.
