Chapter 200: The Final Day

Zhao Wuji was not the only one with the same thought.

Shao Xin and the others were likewise disappointed with Shrek Academy.

Although they held high-ranking positions within the academy, and Flender was even the Dean,

in terms of actual management, the academy's various affairs still had to follow the opinions of Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong.

Their only harvest was likely that the academy's name had been changed to Shrek Academy.

"We will leave with our big brother. Since Tiandou City cannot accommodate us, there is no need for us to stay here and lose face."

However, Shao Xin and the others did not want to retire just like that.

They were not yet sixty years old and were in their prime; it was too early to retire at this time.

Given Flender's state of mind today, they did not say much more, waiting for the right time in the future to discuss starting a business in another field with him.

Relying on "underhanded tactics," Shrek Academy could be said to have garnered enough attention.

Conversely, the Seven Treasures Team relied on their own formidable strength and an undefeated record to attract the audience's gaze.

As the turmoil surrounding Shrek Academy dissipated, the Preliminary Tournament also drew to a close.

Today was the final day of the tournament.

Following the opening ceremony, Emperor Xueye once again arrived at the competition venue.

The reason was simple: after today's matches concluded, he would be presenting the advancement certificates to each team.

The first match today was between the Seven Treasures Team and the Thunder Team.

To date, the Thunder Team had only lost to the Tianshui Team; if they could defeat the Seven Treasures Team today, all three teams would have one loss each and advance tied for first place.

Conversely, if the Seven Treasures Team won this match, they would advance with an undefeated record, breaking the tournament's historical record.

Supporters of both teams placed particular importance on this match.

On paper, the Seven Treasures Team could undoubtedly win with a crushing momentum. But the resilience of the Thunder Team could not be underestimated, and they were not entirely without a chance.

Wu Qi made the personnel arrangements on the spot: "Follow the tactics we discussed last night. Feng Xiaotian will play this match, along with four substitutes, plus Changkong and Chen Ping."

Yu Tianxin's strength really failed to pique his interest; once on the arena, the other party would inevitably get entangled with him.

Rather than that, it was better to just let Feng Xiaotian take the stage.

Feng Xiaotian had no reason to decline; in the past, he and Yu Tianxin were decent opponents for each other.

After obtaining an Immortal Herb, his strength had improved, but he still did not underestimate his opponent.

It was just that Yu Tianxin had been focusing on Wu Qi, and they had not had a sparring match between them instead.

Ning Rongrong said with a smile: "Everyone, do your best. If we win this match, we will advance with an undefeated record."

"Go for it!" Sun Buyu cheered everyone on.

Bringing out a team that went undefeated in the Preliminary Tournament would also cause his own value to rise accordingly.

Not to mention, the strength of the Seven Treasures Team went far beyond this.

As the announcer's voice faded, the participating teams walked from the side passages onto the arena.

On the arena, seeing that it was not Wu Qi who had come out to fight, Yu Tianxin felt helpless and stunned, "It seems the gap between him and me is becoming increasingly obvious; he is not even willing to fight me."

Feng Xiaotian responded with a smile: "No need to belittle yourself."

"The advancement tournament follows after the Preliminary Tournament ends. The captain has other matters to attend to, and he simply cannot participate in this match due to force majeure; otherwise, how could he easily miss it?"

Yu Tianxin was not like Yu Tianheng; the former acted with composure, and there was no conflict between the two sides, so Feng Xiaotian naturally did not want to discourage him.

As the referee announced the start of the match, the members of both sides activated their martial souls simultaneously.

In this final battle, both sides had already secured their spots for advancement, so there was no need for a desperate fight, and even less need to expose their respective trump cards.

The formations of both sides were conventional, and neither side had a strong desire to attack.

Shrek Team rest area.

Yu Xiaogang snorted: "What on earth is this Tianxin doing? They have a great opportunity to defeat the Seven Treasures Team, yet they are playing so conservatively?"

Because of the incident with Ma Hongjun, Flender had no heart to manage the academy and naturally did not come to the scene to watch the match.

At this moment, this place had become Yu Xiaogang's one-man show.

Hearing this, Yu Tianheng was the first to chime in, "Hmph, I'm afraid Tianxin has already colluded with the Seven Treasures Team!"

The two sides were inherently in a competitive relationship, and in his view, Yu Tianxin not exposing his trump cards was completely intentional.

With the Seven Treasures Team being so powerful, shouldn't they be surrounded and suppressed to force them to expose their trump cards?

Wouldn't it be easier to defeat them when they reached the stage of the finals?

Tang San sneered and said: "These guys have no sense of the big picture!"

"Hmph, even if we haven't seen the Seven Treasures Team's trump cards, we still have no fear."

As he spoke, his gaze turned toward Yu Xiaogang.

After many days of reflection, Yu Xiaogang had drafted a Twin Martial Soul Cultivation Strategy. Furthermore, he also had a lead regarding the Multi-person Integrated Soul Fusion Skill.

With multiple trump cards added, Tang San did not believe that when they reached the stage of the finals, they would be unable to defeat the Seven Treasures Team!

Seven Treasures Team rest area.

Wu Qi and the others no longer paid attention to the outcome of this match, turning their focus instead to the advancement situation of teams in other competition zones.

Within the borders of the kingdoms and duchies, the number of Advanced Spirit Master Academies was far less than in the two major competition zones of Heaven Dou and Xingluo.

As early as half a month ago, the advancing teams from the various kingdoms and duchies had already been determined.

After such a long time of investigation, the data on these teams had long since been presented to Wu Qi.

As for the subsequent Promotion Tournament, although no teams will be eliminated, the rankings in the Promotion Tournament affect the matchups and byes in the finals.

Achieving first place provides an opportunity for a bye in the second round of the finals.

Do not underestimate this opportunity; using it to clearly observe the strength of opponents is of great importance for the subsequent matches.

"Wu Qi, we have been to the north of the empire; you should know the situation there."

"Therefore, in the upcoming Promotion Tournament, we must pay more attention to the teams from the north."

Northerners value martial arts; at the same level, the combat experience of northerners is clearly much richer.

Moreover, in terms of physique, the body types of many northern Spirit Masters are even more exaggerated than that bunch from the Elephant Armored Sect.

It is a pity that the Elephant Armored Sect is destined to miss the promotion in this tournament; even if their one-on-one strength is strong, it is all in vain.

Wu Qi nodded seriously, "In battles between low-level Spirit Masters, a robust physique has a natural advantage."

"However, our team has two Soul Kings; generally speaking, there won't be any major problems, and securing first place shouldn't be an issue."

"Teacher Sun, please collect more information on the team Spirit Fighting of these squads."

After all, the stage of the finals is entirely team battles.

The Promotion Tournament is only a one-on-one competition, so the tactical flexibility is very small.

It is nothing more than guessing the order of the opponent's personnel and making targeted adjustments on one's own side.

……

There was no suspense in this match; the Seven Treasures Team achieved final victory at the cost of four members being eliminated.

With this, a new record for the Spirit Master Tournament was born.

Advancing through the Preliminary Tournament with an undefeated record, such a magnificent feat will eventually be recorded in history.
