Tianlin smiled calmly, "Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that my soul power was a bit depleted. I'll meditate all night tonight, and I should be able to recover to at least 70-80% by tomorrow. It won't affect the later matches."
"Xiao Tian, the competition isn't that important, and we can even do without the soul bone, but your body absolutely cannot have any problems," Shi Mo said solemnly as he walked up to Tian Lin.
It was rare to see the kind-hearted eldest brother of the Shi family with such an expression, but it was clear from it that he genuinely cared deeply about his junior, Tianlin, and everyone else agreed with his assessment.
"Thank you, Brother Shi. I won't force myself. If you're really worried, you can be my guardian tomorrow."
Tianlin half-jokingly said that he, with his strong offensive skills, didn't need anyone to protect him. Unexpectedly, the stone mill seemed to take it seriously and actually nodded solemnly.
"Alright, everyone, please sit down. I have something to teach you." Qin Ming suddenly said, "Although Xiao Tian was injured in today's match, our chances of winning have actually increased because I have learned the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique."
"What?" Everyone looked at Qin Ming in shock. They knew that Teacher Qin's theories were always good, but when did he reach the point where he could understand the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique after just one reading?
In fact, this was not something Qin Ming could do. The two who truly understood it were Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong. During the competition, Ning Fengzhi had been secretly transmitting some of the principles of the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique to Qin Ming.
Having just arrived, he taught Qin Ming his reverse-engineered theory of martial soul fusion, along with what Ning Rongrong had learned from the master. With the two combined, Qin Ming was confident that he could make the seven members of the Royal Fighting Team also use the fusion technique.
In the Royal Battle, there are actually Soul Masters with the Fusion Ring talent, such as Ye Lingling. Once she uses this talent, she can instantly maximize her healing ability, almost bringing the dead back to life. However, afterwards, her soul power will be completely depleted, and she will need to rest for several days to recover.
She could be the core of the fusion technique, but the problem is, who will perform it? Tianlin would have been the best candidate, but he was too exhausted today, and we can't put that kind of pressure on him anymore.
Even if Tianlin didn't care, Qin Ming would never agree.
The others are Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and Gu Ran.
They are all unsuitable because they are both Beast Soul Masters. The requirements for the True Body of a Beast Soul are much higher than those for the True Body of a Weapon Soul. Unlike the True Body of a Weapon Soul, which acts on the Soul Master, the True Body of a Beast Soul acts on the Soul Master himself. This requires not only soul power but also extremely high physical strength.
Tianheng Guran, who has just reached level 50, has not yet met the requirements to unleash his Martial Soul True Form.
Moreover, after witnessing Shrek Academy's seven-in-one fusion technique today, I'm afraid that if they make any similar moves tomorrow, it will alert the Spirit Hall, and they will definitely not sit idly by.
Just then, Tianlin's gaze swept over a person, none other than Huanyin, who hadn't played a single match since entering the finals. His eyes lit up. Who said it was necessary to use the Martial Soul True Body? As long as you use the fusion technique to increase your soul power, isn't that enough?
"Everyone, I have a plan. Tomorrow, we will definitely catch the Spirit Hall Academy off guard."
"What method?" everyone asked excitedly.
"Hehe, Senior Huanyin, this method is related to you. How's your musical talent? Can you learn a song in one night?" Tianlin looked at Huanyin, which made her a little stunned.
She thought she would just be a background character from now on, but judging from Tianlin's words, he was planning to let her play?
He nodded decisively. "Of course, I can't say for sure about other things, but if it's just practicing a piece, I won't need a whole night. Within two hours, I will definitely have memorized the score perfectly and won't play a single wrong note."
Being able to compete in the finals of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament is an immense honor, and Huan Yin naturally wants to seize this opportunity.
"Then there's no problem." Tianlin smiled slightly. In his hand, there was a very powerful Shu Mountain technique that was completely useless to him.
I thought it would only gather dust in a corner, but today, with Huanyin here, this unique skill can be brought to its full glory.
They're definitely going to win tomorrow's finals!
Chapter 201: The Final Battle Begins - Spirit Hall VS Royal Fighting Team
The Papal Palace, the council chamber.
Pope Bibi Dong sat in the main seat, with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo standing on either side of her. Standing in front of them were the seven members representing the Spirit Hall Academy in the competition.
Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena stood at the very front.
While the Royal Fighting Team was discussing their final strategy, the Spirit Hall was also busy.
"Did you all understand what I just said?" Bibi Dong said calmly.
"Understood, Your Holiness." Despite being members of the Golden Generation, Xie Yue and his two companions dared not show the slightest arrogance in front of Bibi Dong, and answered with utmost respect.
Bibi Dong coldly said, "Today, Jun Tianlin directly confronted the true form of the Clear Sky Hammer's weapon spirit. Although he won, he must have suffered greatly. In tomorrow's match, his threat level has significantly decreased. As long as you follow the original plan and further restrict him, with your demonic charm, defeating him shouldn't be difficult. As for the others, in a true battle, they are no match for you, including that Soul King Gu Ran."
"Yes," the seven replied.
Ghost Douluo's deep voice rang out from beside the Pope, "You should know what this competition means. It's not just your chance to make a name for yourself, but also a symbol of who owns the three soul bones. As the organizer, the Spirit Hall cannot take back these three soul bones if you lose. With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and so many advanced soul master academies watching, we absolutely cannot back out. This is a reward for you, but also a pressure. If you lose, you know what the consequences will be."
Upon hearing this, all seven of them shuddered. They all knew very well how ruthless Ghost was. If they lost tomorrow, they would probably be badly injured even if they didn't die.
Both colleges, each driven by an unwavering belief that they could not afford to lose, endured a somber night.
The next morning, after everyone had breakfast, they gathered at the hotel entrance. Qin Ming's gaze swept over the seven people who had taken the stage that day. "Although I have great confidence in your abilities, remember, if things become unbearable, safety should be the top priority."
"Yes, don't worry, Teacher Qin, our Royal Fighting Team will surely win!"
"Very good, let's go." Qin Ming walked at the front, leading his strongest team towards the final battleground.
The sunlight brought a golden glow to the Papal Palace, and everyone's gaze became solemn. As the eleven members of the Royal Fighting Clan ascended the stone steps one by one, the air seemed to grow heavy.
The Pope, Ning Fengzhi who watched the battle yesterday, and several titled Douluo were already seated. The three soul bones, which were given as rewards, lay quietly on a red brocade plate to the side, emitting a faint glow.
The Spirit Hall Academy team stood silently, an intense and chilling killing intent emanating from them, sharp as a blade, directly confronting Huang Dou. Even under this immense pressure, Huang Dou's steps up the mountain did not falter in the slightest. Were they afraid of the Spirit Hall Academy? Although the match hadn't officially begun, the clash between the two sides had already commenced.
"The final of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, both teams, prepare yourselves. The match will begin in fifteen minutes!"
After the referee's announcement, both teams began their preparations.
As expected, the Spirit Hall dispatched their strongest lineup, including the Golden Generation and the Golden Scepter.
But Huang Dou's response was completely unexpected.
Vice-captain Dugu Yan did not participate, nor did the two agility-type Soul Masters, Ausro and Yufeng.
Apart from Yu Tianheng, Gu Ran, and Tian Lin standing at the very front, only the Shi brothers stood in front of Huan Yin and Ye Lingling.
Everyone was puzzled. This was definitely not Huang Dou's strongest lineup. What was this Huan Yin, who was only level 40? Could she really be of any use in this match? Was it worth Huang Dou giving up Dugu Yan, who could unleash a spirit fusion skill with Yu Tianheng?
There isn't even one agile attacker left. Is Royal Fight not planning to target the back row?
You should know that the Spirit Hall's back row support is not some second-rate stuff like the Star Luo. The Golden Scepter is comparable to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!
"What an arrogant Royal Fighting Team! Do they think we're the same as their previous opponents?" Yan said angrily.
"Don't rush, Yan. Since Huang Dou has admitted defeat, we'll grant their wish." Xie Yue's eyes were also filled with coldness.
After saying that, the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall released their spirits at the same time. They were all two yellow, two purple and one black. Three of them were Spirit Kings, two of whom were level 53. Hu Liena was even more than level 54, probably close to level 55. Moreover, the members behind the three of them were all Spirit Masters of level 46 or above, demonstrating the strength of their Spirit Hall Academy.
"Admit defeat? You'd better look carefully before you say that, brothers, activate your martial spirits!" Yu Tianheng shouted loudly.
Huang Dou didn't lag behind and all of them activated their Martial Souls. The first three, Gu Ran and Yu Tianheng, also had two yellow, two purple and one black Souls, and Tian Lin had one yellow, two purple and two black. They were also three Soul Kings, but they looked even more dazzling than the Spirit Hall Academy.
"How is that possible? Yu Tianheng only broke through to level 50 two days ago. In just two days, he didn't even leave Wuhun City. Where did he get this ten-thousand-year soul ring?" Questions arose from the audience.
The Spirit Hall Academy was also incredulous.
"Calm down, everyone. How Yu Tianheng obtained his soul ring is no longer important. He's just a beginner Soul King, and his soul power is still far behind ours," Hu Liena said coldly.
As expected of the Pope's disciple, he remained unfazed even when facing three Soul Kings.
If the others were surprised by Yu Tianheng, then the titled figures present were completely shocked by Tianlin.
Including the two Douluo Chrysanthemum and Ghost from the Spirit Hall, as well as Bibi Dong, although they had discovered yesterday when they watched Tianlin fight Tang San that Tianlin's true soul power was not level 52 as Salas had said, but rather vaguely above level 56. After all, Tianlin's ability to conceal his power could not completely deceive titled Douluo above level 95; it could only slightly interfere with their judgment.
Today, Tianlin no longer concealed his strength and unleashed his full power. Only then did they realize that his soul power had already reached the peak of level 58, infinitely close to level 59.
This talent surpasses that of the Golden Generation by a significant margin.
The Golden Generation members are all about six years older than him. By the time Tianlin reaches their age, they will probably all be trying to become Soul Saints.
Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan unknowingly felt a sense of sorrow, as if they were the very opposite of Zhou Yu. They considered themselves peerless geniuses capable of suppressing an era, but who would have thought that an even more terrifying figure would emerge from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
It was even enough to suppress them for an entire era; they could be said to have been born at the wrong time.
Chapter 202 The Golden Scepter and the Seal of Light
“Don’t worry, Jun Tianlin was seriously injured yesterday. Even if he is level 58, he can’t exert his full strength.” At this time, it was Hu Liena who stepped forward to stabilize morale.
Xie Yue turned to look at their support-type Soul Master Xu Yu and ordered, "Proceed according to plan."
"Yes!" Xu Yu's scepter emitted bursts of golden light, and his four spirit rings pulsed simultaneously, but only the fourth spirit ring was flashing.
"What is this?" The master watching the match was very puzzled. He could tell that this was not a fusion ring, but he had never heard of such a situation before.
"A golden scepter!" Ning Fengzhi looked at this support-type martial soul with a solemn expression.
The golden scepter is said to rival the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda and the Nine Hearts Begonia because of one characteristic: it is all-powerful.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and the Nine Heart Begonia respectively maximize the amplification and healing aspects. This Golden Scepter, however, is all-encompassing, capable of amplification, healing, and even restricting opponents. It's just that its amplification and healing abilities are not as strong as the previous two.
If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and the Nine Heart Begonia's support abilities can be described as "refined," then the Radiant Golden Scepter embodies the word "broad-based"—no one can predict what kind of support effects different people will have with their Radiant Golden Scepters.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Seal of Light!"
Just then, Xu Yu's four spirit rings flew rapidly toward Huang Dou.
"Not good, scatter quickly!" Yu Tianheng shouted. Although he didn't know what the other party was planning to do, he was sure it wasn't anything good.
The three people in front dispersed, but the four soul rings ignored Yu Tianheng and Gu Ran and flew straight towards Tian Lin. This was a soul skill lock-on, and the battle arena was only so big that it was impossible to dodge.
Of the four spirit rings, the last three were eventually fitted onto Tianlin.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong smiled slightly. Their plan had succeeded. It was worthwhile that she personally chose the fourth soul ring for Xu Yu, which was specifically designed to target the Sword Lord.
"I understand now, what a clever tactic, Spirit Hall!" Ning Fengzhi saw through the other party's intentions as soon as the spirit ring was placed on Tian Lin.
Of the three theoretical experts present, the only one who was still completely confused was the lowest-ranking master.
This Light Seal is actually a skill that seals spirit rings. It uses one's own spirit ring to lock the opponent's spirit ring. Once the spirit ring is locked, the opponent cannot use the corresponding spirit skill, and their various physical attributes will also be weakened to a certain extent.
Clearly, the opponent's real goal is Tianlin's third spirit ring. Once the Feng Shui Flow is sealed, Hu Liena and Xie Yue's spirit fusion skill, Demon Charm, will be released.
However, this technique has limitations: the age of the sealed spirit ring cannot be higher than that of one's own spirit ring.
Xu Yu already knew that Tian Lin's soul rings were all beyond their age limit, so he immediately used the method of sealing one ring with two.
His fourth spirit ring had a lifespan of over 4,800 years, and his second spirit ring had a lifespan of over 700 years. When combined, they surpassed the 5,500 years of Tianlin's third spirit ring, successfully sealing the flow of feng shui.
Then, the third ring, which had been sealed for 1,500 years, sealed Tianlin's second ring, which had only been sealed for 1,000 years. Tianlin could no longer use the Soul Skill "Ice and Fire God Sealing". This whole process instantly reduced Tianlin's strength significantly.
Xu Yu also had a first ring that was over four hundred years old. He didn't waste it, so he flew to Yu Tianheng and sealed his first ring.
"You bastard, do you think I'm just passing by? This is outrageous!" Yu Tianheng was furious. He was the last one chosen by Tianlin. Didn't he have any dignity?
"Fifth Soul Skill, Death Thunderstorm!"
Enraged, Yu Tianheng immediately unleashed his fifth soul skill, black, liquid-like lightning transforming into a black dragon that attacked Xu Yu from an incredibly bizarre angle. Once he defeated Xu Yu, the seal on Tian Lin would naturally be broken.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Flying Sand and Raging Flames!"
The Spirit Hall Academy was also prepared. How could they watch Xu Yu be so easily eliminated from the back row? Yan also used his fifth spirit skill to block Yu Tianheng's attack.
The two sides were evenly matched in this attack. The Flame Lord, as expected of a top-tier martial soul with both fire and earth attributes, was no less powerful than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus.
"Brother, do it!" Hu Liena shouted.
