Chapter 281.
Hearing this, many people were surprised, even those from the Soul Hall Palace. Few knew of Bibi Dong's relationship with the Grandmaster, except Wang Feng. Tang San replied humbly, "Your Majesty the Pope, you flatter me. There is still a big gap between me and my teacher."
Although it was modesty, many obviously did not think so. Bibi Dong did not say more, seeming to look for someone else among Shrek, but she did not find them and stopped looking.
Tang San thought to himself that the Pope was very clear about their information and was probably looking for Brother Feng, who unfortunately did not come today. Tang San felt regretful, even though the Grandmaster said Feng'ge could not play in the finals and they had to rely on themselves. It was always good to watch the game. Last night, Wang Feng discussed tactics with them and the Grandmaster, warning them about the Golden Generation's powerful martial soul fusion technique, particularly Hu Liena.
At this moment, Bibi Dong looked at a figure in another location. Wearing a black robe and a white mask, he looked mysterious and cold.
"Bold! Before her majesty the Pope, why don't you take off your mask?" a cardinal scolded. "This place is sacred. How can you look so sneaky?"
All eyes focused on this figure—Jiu Yikai. The Grandmaster on the periphery of the square frowned but did not speak. The members of the Soul Hall Palace team and the Golden Generation stared at the figure. Based on the analysis of powerful teachers in the Soul Hall Palace over the previous four days, they regarded Jiu Yikai as their biggest enemy, making them curious and vigilant.
Bibi Dong also looked at Jiu Yikai. The mask only covered his face, but his eyes were calm, unlike Tang San's flashing purple light. Jiu Yikai's eyes were like a serene pool, staring at her without any fluctuations, surprising Bibi Dong for a moment as if he was not even slightly perturbed by her presence.
Wang Feng's hoarse voice slowly said, "I'm so ugly that if I lifted my mask, I might scare the Pope. Although the Pope doesn't care about –appearances, if you force me to remove it, it might frighten her and it would be a heinous crime in itself."
The audience was silent for a moment!!!!
The cardinal, speechless and flushed, –pointed at Jiu Yikai. Hu Liena chuckled and blinked. "This Jiu Yikai is so bold, I like him." she said.
Xie Ye and Yan did not speak but looked at Wang Feng seriously.
"Let it be," Bibi Dong said, glancing at the cardinal. "This is his personal privacy. The game does not stipulate that you cannot wear a mask, nor does the Soul Hall have any regulations forcing everyone to reveal their faces. Ghost Douluo is a good example, although their identities and strengths are not comparable."
Bibi Dong stopped watching and walked to the high platform of the square to give a simple speech. Wang Feng nodded slightly. Although Bibi Dong is a villain in the original work, as the Pope of the Soul Hall, her words were soothing without pressure. However, in full view, to maintain the Pope's prestige, she would naturally not act rashly.
After the speech, Bibi Dong waved the scepter in her hand, and four soul bones appeared midair. Wang Feng glanced at them, the highest and most precious among them was about 50,–000 years old. Not bad, but Wang Feng wasn't interested.
The fifty-thousand-year-old soul bone was also a skull. In addition, there was a left hand and a leg soul bone, all of them over ten thousand years old.
"Among these four soul bones, the skull is the Wisdom Skull that help condenses the spirit, the right arm have the ability that bursts and burns, the left arm that soul bone gives immense strength, and the left leg soul bone enhances one's speed. They are all soul bones over ten thousand years old. The Wisdom Skull soul bone is more than 50,000 years old," Chrysanthemum Douluo introduced in a low, chilling voice.
Soul bones over fifty thousand years old! And a head soul bone at that! Among soul bones, aside from the external soul bone, the most precious are the torso and head.
"There will be only one champion team in the competition, and the rewards will also belong to only the champion team," Bibi Dong said, glancing at the fifteen people present.
"This morning, you will have an individual match. The last team will directly get a place in the finals. The remaining two teams will compete in a team battle in the afternoon for another place in the final."
"Now you can send your players to the court to get started."
This kind of individual competition, with only one person on Jiu Yikai side, is very unfavorable. He will face combined attacks from the other two teams. He is alone and has no possibility of rotation with other players on his team.
If the two teams unite and target Jiu Yikai, they will be able to defeat him. Even if he remains undefeated and wins, it will be a tragic victory, and with the final the next day, he won't have time to recover. Facing another team in the finals the next day, he won't be able to exert his full strength and will definitely lose! It is almost impossible to win the game with one person.
However, this is based on the strong combination of Shrek Academy and Soul Hall Academy. In fact, on the fourth day, the Soul Hall team approached Shrek Academy. They proposed to join forces against Jiu Yikai. If Jiu Yikai loses, and if he is unable to fight again, then both teams can enter the finals steadily and have a final showdown. If Jiu Yikai wins, then the two teams will decide a winner in the afternoon, and that winner will compete in the next day's final for the championship.
In any case, a strong alliance would not harm either team. As long as they first defeat the mysterious and powerful enemy, Jiu Yikai, the championship will be decided between the two teams. After hearing Soul Hall proposal, Tang San and the others were silent for a long time. During the individual battles in the promotion tournament, they had already fought seriously with Jiu Yikai and were almost crushed. Therefore, they hesitated about the Soul Hall Palace team's proposal and went to ask the Grandmaster.
The master said: "It depends on your own choice. When three powers compete for hegemony and one is too strong, the other two teams combining is not a bad thing. On the contrary, it can create a balance of power."
Then Tang San asked Wang Feng again. Wang Feng also said, "Ask your own hearts. If you want to unite, unite, and if you don't want to unite, don't unite."
After making a decision, Tang San and the others still chose not to join forces with the Soul Hall Palace team. Soul Hall Palace did not show any reaction to this decision. In fact, Tang San and the others were somewhat intimidated by Soul Hall choice. The strength of the Soul Hall Palace team was evident from their battle against the Emperor Team of Heaven Dou Empire—it was almost a one-sided crushing.
Three soul kings above level fifty! This is a line up far beyond any other team! But even so, the three of them actually chose to join Shrek Academy to deal with Jiu Yikai. It was clear that in the Soul Hall Academy team, Jiu Yikai had been listed as the number one opponent.
In fact, Tang San analyzed Jiu Yikai matches, and after analyzing them from beginning to end, he was even more frightened. Judging from the current performance of Jiu Yikai, none of the golden generation could match his level! He played so many games alone, never losing! In almost every match, he quickly understood the enemy in a short time and used the most accurate attack method to crush them with overwhelming strength.
Although his soul power was only at Soul Ancestor level, his displayed strength and intelligence were unmatched by even a soul emperor of over sixty levels, or even a soul sage of over seventy levels!
It's no wonder that the Soul Hall team, with its three golden generation members, still decided to chose to unite with Shrek Academy to deal with Jiu Yikai in the individual match.
"This big game... our ultimate enemy will be when JiuYiKai steps in!"
Thinking of this at the time, Tang San was suddenly awakened. This mysterious Jiu Yikai, from the Heaven Dou City qualifiers, eventually became the biggest player of this competition! In fact, Tang San's idea was not entirely correct.
The Soul Hall Academy team wanted to unite with them not only because of Jiu Yikai's strength but also because they didn't want to waste too much effort in –individual battles. If it were a team battle, they were not afraid of Jiu Yikai.
Additionally, the threat posed by Jiu Yikai was too great in individual battle, and eliminating him as soon as possible would be more reassuring. In contrast, Shrek Academy was relatively weak, and even if they competed with them for the championship, their chances of winning were very low.
Quickly, the game officially started. Since Purple Star Academy only had Jiu Yikai, he had to compete alone. Shrek Academy and the Soul Hall team each sent one person—Jingling from Shrek and a level forty-three Soul Ancestor from the Soul Hall. The three participants drew lots. Wang Feng's luck was very good, he got a bye, meaning Jingling would fight against the Soul Ancestor from the Soul Hall.
However, Shrek Academy chose to surrender directly because the Soul Ancestor from Soul Hall was a control system soul master, which greatly restrained Jingling. Then, it was the Soul Ancestor from Soul Hall's turn to fight Wang Feng. But... Soul Hall also chose to admit defeat. In the first round, Wang Feng won directly.
