118: Chapter 118 Martial Soul True Body

The next morning, the plaza in front of the Supreme Pontiff Palace was solemn and magnificent under the morning sun.

At the referee's signal, the Spirit Hall Team and the Shrek Team walked into the center of the plaza, facing each other.

On the Shrek side, Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others locked their gazes tightly onto Ji Xuan opposite them, the rage in their eyes almost becoming tangible.

Ji Xuan, however, remained indifferent, returning their gaze calmly without a ripple of emotion.

"Prepare for the match. Both sides may release their Spirits," the Cardinal referee announced loudly.

As the words fell, the seven members of the Spirit Hall Team were the first to release their respective Spirits.

When the spirit rings rose beneath Ji Xuan's feet, there was only a slight murmur of surprise from the surroundings.

After all, having witnessed Tang San's five ten-thousand-year spirit rings, Ji Xuan's spirit ring configuration, while also astonishing, was slightly inferior by comparison.

On the other side, the seven members of the Shrek Team did not immediately release their Spirits; instead, they quickly changed formation, circling into a ring.

Ji Xuan narrowed his eyes. Were they going to use that move?

But that was fine; it would avoid boredom.

Throughout the previous matches, Shrek had never used their Seven-in-One Soul Power Fusion technique. It seemed they had saved this final trump card for this ultimate battlefield.

The concept for this Fusion technique was borrowed by Yu Xiaogang from the Canghui Academy they had encountered during the preliminaries.

Thinking of Canghui Academy, the head Spirit Bone from Shi Nian was still lying quietly in Ji Xuan's spirit tool.

The "Remnant Dream" Shi Nian had long since been dealt with by Ji Xuan, so naturally, he had been unable to intercept and kill Tang San.

Thus, Tang San had missed out on another Spirit Bone. Although that Spirit Bone had gem attributes and might not have been suitable for him, it was, after all, a rare treasure.

On the plaza, "The match begins!"

Following the referee's command, the Shrek formation changed again, and the seven quickly lined up in a single file.

The Soul Power of the six people in the back poured out without reservation, all of it flooding into Tang San at the front.

Under the surge of massive Soul Power, the aura around Tang San climbed steadily, breaking through the limits and reaching the pressure of a Spirit Saint.

The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand suddenly swelled, and the pitch-black hammer body erupted with a heart-stopping black light.

The Clear Sky Avatar was revealed aggressively.

The other six members of Shrek, their Soul Power exhausted, retreated from the arena one after another, leaving the battlefield to Tang San.

Victory or defeat lay in his hands alone.

But the rest of the Shrek Team were full of confidence. How could the Spirit Hall Team withstand the Martial Soul Avatar of the number one Tool Spirit under heaven?

In the stands, the vast majority of the audience stood up abruptly, exclamations rising everywhere: "This... could this be..."

"Martial Soul Avatar." A trace of surprise flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, and she couldn't help but cast her gaze toward Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang was standing up at this moment, looking at Tang San below; his usually rigid face was now very excited.

His hands clenched unconsciously, his heart churning. It worked! All his days and nights of deduction and painstaking research into this Seven-in-One Fusion technique had not been in vain.

This battle really had hope!

As long as Shrek could win the championship, his name as Great Master would truly resound throughout the continent, proving that he was definitely not trash!

Bibi Dong took in Yu Xiaogang's expression, understanding in her heart that such a method must have come from Xiaogang's hand. He was truly worthy of being the man she loved; his talent was indeed outstanding.

However, when her gaze touched the side of Yu Xiaogang, a surge of hostility instantly flooded her heart.

She saw Liu Erlong tightly clutching Yu Xiaogang's arm, and even casting a triumphant look at Bibi Dong.

That look seemed to say: Look, Xiaogang is so outstanding, but he is mine. Even if you are the Supreme Pontiff, so what? You still couldn't take him from me!

Bibi Dong gritted her teeth in secret. Bitch! I will make you disappear sooner or later!

Ning Fengzhi, slightly behind, also had astonishment flash in his eyes. He hadn't expected Tang San to have such a trump card hidden; it was a pleasant surprise.

Judging by this, it might not be long before Tang San surpassed Ji Xuan.

By then, with such a powerful ally for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, what was there to fear from Ji Xuan? What was there to fear from Spirit Hall?

On the plaza, facing the terrifying might of the Clear Sky Avatar, Hu Liena and Xie Yue exchanged a glance. Their figures crossed and fused, red mist instantly filled the air, and the Martial Soul Fusion technique, "Enchantress," was activated.

Ji Xuan and the other four team members did not enter the red mist's range.

However, after only a few seconds, muffled groans came from the red mist, two figures flew out backward, and the thick mist dissipated accordingly.

The Fusion state had been forcibly broken; blood spilled from the corners of Hu Liena and Xie Yue's mouths, and their faces were pale.

"You guys go down first," Ji Xuan's calm voice rang out, his figure already blocking in front of the others.

Although the few were unwilling, they understood that facing the Clear Sky Avatar, staying here would only become a burden, so they retreated from the arena one after another.

Tang San did not stop them. Facing one more person meant more pressure for him, and besides, he only wanted to defeat Ji Xuan now to wash away part of his humiliation.

One-on-one was exactly what he wanted.

In the blink of an eye, only Ji Xuan and Tang San were left facing each other in the center of the arena.

Tang San's eyes were filled with hatred. The grudge of the stolen bone and the vengeance for the capture of Xiao Wu all flooded into his heart at this moment.

During this period, in his spare time from the matches, he had secretly inquired about Xiao Wu's information from many sources, but had always come up empty-handed.

He had even considered the idea of sneaking into the Elder Hall. Since he had been able to quietly obtain the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record in his previous life, why couldn't he try it in this life?

However, the reality was that the guards were strict during the tournament. Through observation, he discovered that it was difficult to even cross the grounds of the Supreme Pontiff Palace, let alone the higher Elder Hall.

He could only suppress his impulse, pinning his hopes of rescuing Xiao Wu on his future increase in strength.

But at this moment, with the support of the Seven-in-One Fusion technique, he possessed the power of a Spirit Saint.

Tang San firmly believed that this was the best opportunity to defeat Ji Xuan and wash away his previous shame!

"Ji Xuan," Tang San's voice was cold, "Today, let you witness the power of the number one Tool Spirit under heaven!"

As soon as his voice fell, the Clear Sky Hammer Avatar slammed down toward Ji Xuan with a boom.

Ji Xuan did not take it head-on. A year had passed, and his Soul Power had reached level 55. Although he could take the Clear Sky Avatar head-on, he would avoid it if he could.

With a flash of his figure, he rose into the air.

Boom—!

The Clear Sky Hammer slammed down, the hard ground instantly cracked, and gravel flew everywhere.

Tang San's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Ji Xuan in mid-air: "Ji Xuan, what kind of skill is only dodging! If you have the ability, fight fair and square!"

The power in his body could not last long. If Ji Xuan moved around to wear him out, he would undoubtedly be defeated.

Only by going head-to-head would he have a chance to defeat Ji Xuan.

"As you wish," Ji Xuan's lips curled up slightly, "Then let one move decide the outcome."

Rumble—

Golden light flashed in Ji Xuan's eyes. In an instant, the clear sky suddenly darkened, thunder intertwined, and a violent wind raged.

A huge golden light sword instantly condensed in the air, its blade wrapped in terrifying golden thunder, the tip pointing directly at Tang San below.

At the same time, the first three spirit rings beneath his feet lit up simultaneously, and his attack, speed, and armor-piercing power surged again.

Now that his Sword Dao had reached the Minor Achievement of the third realm, combined with his understanding and application of the Power of Order, the power of this move was no longer what it used to be.

This sword could also be regarded as a simplified version of the Martial Soul Avatar, and its might was not inferior to that Clear Sky Avatar in the slightest.
