Chapter 300: The Decisive Battle Arrives
The next day, the group marched grandly toward the Pope’s Palace!
After last night’s final dinner, everyone had let go of their worries, knowing that after today, they would officially graduate.
Many might leave, each returning to their own home, each finding their own mother.
Although it was a moment of parting and everyone was reluctant to separate, there was no other way.
“Alright, everyone, do your best! I’m really looking forward to your performance in a bit. Don’t disappoint me…”
While chatting and laughing, Ling Mo returned to his seat alongside Dugu Bo.
On the VIP Seating to the left side of the Pope’s Palace, very close to the Pope’s main seat, but from the hierarchy, the C-position still belonged to Bibi Dong.
“Old Monster! Have you seen these people…”
When Ling Mo returned to the VIP Seating once again, he noticed that the surrounding Cardinals and Spirit Hall followers had increased.
More than twice as many as yesterday.
“Are they demonstrating their authority to us?” Dugu Bo said coldly, as if he had already seen through Spirit Hall’s intentions.
Yesterday, even Bibi Dong had suffered a loss at Ling Mo’s mouth, so obviously they came prepared today.
“No matter! Are our people ready?”
Ling Mo didn’t pay attention to these things and instead asked about the whereabouts of the Ghost Gate disciples.
“Don’t worry! I’ve already arranged everything properly. As soon as something happens, our people can immediately surround Spirit City airtight…”
Dugu Bo replied coldly, his gaze landing on places all filled with hidden killing intent.
“A good show is about to begin!”
Ling Mo smiled slightly, then sat in his seat. Ning Fengzhi and the others had arrived early, and even the accompanying team from the Star Luo Empire side had arrived.
Everyone knew that the upcoming events would be filled with killing intent.
“Today is the last day of the All-Continent Soul Master Elite Tournament, and today, the final champion will be decided.
Now I announce, the match begins. The two participating teams, please enter the match area…”
With the referee’s command, both teams began to appear in the arena.
The first to take the stage was the Spirit Hall Academy team, led by Xie Yue, with Hu Liena on the left, forming a side-by-side team formation as they walked toward the center.
“This Spirit Hall team revolves around those three people, the so-called Golden Generation. As long as they are properly countered, winning won’t be difficult…”
Ning Fengzhi said slowly, addressing Ling Mo.
“Uncle, do you think Shrek Academy can win?”
Ling Mo asked in return.
“Team Fighting Soul is ever-changing; often a single detail can decide victory or defeat. Who will win and who will lose is hard to say.
If you participated, winning would absolutely not be difficult, but unfortunately… you’re not participating, are you…”
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, always maintaining his calm and composed demeanor.
“What you said makes sense. If I made a move, there’d be no need for any team coordination; I could solo it myself.
However! Even without me making a move, Shrek Academy can still win. That’s beyond question.”
Ling Mo said confidently, not modest at all.
“Oh? You’re so confident. Could it be that the Shrek Seven Devils secretly trained some ultimate move?”
Ning Fengzhi was very curious. Given Ling Mo’s current performance, he was undoubtedly telling him that Shrek Academy still had big moves unused.
Compared to Spirit Hall, Shrek Academy was actually more terrifying.
Because from beginning to end, they had never exposed their true strength, and their lineup had never been complete.
Even a patchwork lineup could reach the finals. Now with all Shrek Seven Devils deployed, what kind of excitement awaited them? It was hard to say…
“Just watch, you’ll know soon enough!”
Ling Mo didn’t answer directly, giving a meaningful glance at Bibi Dong not far away, then fell silent.
Soon, the Shrek Seven Devils also took the stage one after another. When Shrek Academy’s participating members appeared, the whole crowd boiled over.
“What? Shrek Academy’s captain isn’t participating?”
“What’s going on? Are they throwing the match?”
“That shouldn’t be. They’ve come this far, just one step from victory. Is Shrek Academy giving up?”
Ling Mo’s absence from the Fighting Soul Platform caused a stir, leaving everyone puzzled.
The biggest draw of this Fighting Soul was Ling Mo and that so-called Golden Generation.
Now, Ling Mo was absent, which was absolutely a bombshell.
“What the hell is Shrek Academy up to?”
“Could this be their strongest lineup?”
Everyone was puzzled, especially curious about Oscar, who was appearing on stage for the first time.
Could he be Shrek Academy’s core trump card? Some began to guess.
Regarding why Ling Mo didn’t take the field, quite a few questioning voices arose at the scene.
But this didn’t affect the match’s progress.
“Both sides’ contestants, take positions. You have one minute of preparation time…”
The referee said coldly, with no emotional fluctuation, showing no bias to either side, absolutely fair and just.
“Sister, that Soul Emperor from the opposing side didn’t appear. There must be something fishy…”
On Spirit Hall Academy’s side, Xie Yue looked coldly at the Shrek Seven Devils opposite them.
They had trained bitterly for a long time, wasting no small amount of time specifically targeting Ling Mo.
Now discovering that Ling Mo hadn’t taken the field, they were caught off guard for a moment.
“It is strange! I really don’t know what this Shrek Academy is up to. Do they have better tactics?
Or do they not take us seriously at all, so no need to deploy that Soul Emperor?”
Hu Liena said questioningly, her gaze sharp as she looked toward Ling Mo in the VIP Seating, very puzzled.
An inexplicable surge of anger welled up from her heart; this feeling of being looked down upon was really unpleasant.
“Too arrogant! Today we must give them a piece of our mind…”
“Exactly, they look down on us so much, way too arrogant! Today we must let them know what cruelty means…”
On Spirit Hall Academy’s side, public outrage erupted, anger surging from their hearts, furious.
They were determined to make Shrek Academy pay the price for their arrogance.
“Tang San!”
“Xie Yue!”
“Please advise us…”
Both teams assembled, and the captains followed procedure, bowing to each other first to show courtesy.
“Tang San! Where’s your captain? Why isn’t he on stage? Does he look down on us?”
Before the match even started, tensions were high. Someone from Spirit Hall Academy directly asked.
“Dealing with you doesn’t require our captain to make a move!”
Dai Mubai said coldly.
“What, you…”
“How dare you underestimate us. Today I’ll make sure you go back crawling…”
Dai Mubai’s one sentence directly enraged everyone from Spirit Hall Academy.
Way too arrogant! They looked down on them so much, not putting them in their eyes at all.
“Who crawls back isn’t certain yet! This champion is ours…”
Dai Mubai said with a cold smile.
“Don’t waste words with them. Release your Martial Souls!”
“Show us what you’ve got! Come on, I’d like to see what makes you so arrogant…”
