Chapter 779 Award Ceremony
The domain disappeared, and the red mist dissipated.
Almost all the Soul Masters watching the match focused their attention on the two teams that had emerged from the red mist.
On the Spirit Hall's First Team side, everyone's hearts sank.
At this point, it seems that only three people are still able to stand: Xie Yue and Hu Liena, a brother and sister, and Xu Yu, a support-type Soul Master in the team who has no offensive capabilities.
Looking at the others, Sun Chuantao, Li Kai, and Zhang Ping had already been defeated not long ago and were knocked unconscious by their opponents. They were all lying on the ground at this moment.
Even Yan was the same.
Although Yan was strong, he was ultimately completely suppressed when facing the combined attack of Ye Lan, Bai Chenxiang, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Chenxiang.
In the end, unsurprisingly, they were defeated.
On the other hand, the second team on the opposing side was almost entirely unharmed.
Only Ruiwen and Fengxian suffered some serious injuries while dealing with Xieyue and Huliena's self-created soul skill, Moon Kill, but they recovered quickly thanks to Xiaomingyue's powerful healing ability.
Lying on the ground, Yan's flames appeared extremely dim, and his aura was much weaker, a sign that his soul power had been greatly depleted.
He didn't faint immediately; his body was twitching slightly, although he was still struggling to get up.
But at this point, everyone could see that he was at his last gasp.
The moon blade in Xie Yue's hand had at least dozens of tiny, densely packed notches, and the five fox tails behind Hu Liena were also somewhat dim, flickering uncertainly as if they might disappear at any moment.
The brother and sister supported each other, their faces looking somewhat pale, but at least they were both still standing.
The use of their self-created soul skill, Moon Kill, undoubtedly exhausted their soul power, making it difficult for them to launch a threatening attack.
Their original plan was to use their strongest self-created soul skills to defeat Raven and Fengxian in one fell swoop, and then join Yan's battlefield.
However, things didn't go as planned, and they failed to do so.
Their opponents, the Spirit Hall's Second Team, were equally formidable.
They managed to stop their final and strongest attack by sacrificing only two high-level Soul Kings, Ruiwen and Fengxian.
The enormous consumption of soul power and the disappearance of the talent domain have undoubtedly broken the balance between the two sides, and the scales of victory have begun to tip.
However, the side that sided with the first team was not the first team.
The golden scepter in the hands of the support-type Soul Master Xu Yu continued to emit various beams of light, amplifying Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan to help them recover.
But this is just a drop in the ocean.
Physical injuries are easy to heal, but the recovery of soul power is not so quick; it takes some time.
Their opponents won't give them that chance, after all, they still have five full-strength combatants.
However, only Xu Yu remained among them, still possessing the strength to continue fighting, but he was a support-type Soul Master with no offensive capabilities.
You don't even need to think to know how it will end.
"well--"
Xie Yue sighed and waved his hand to retract the moon blade, which was covered with fine, interlocking serrations. He glanced regretfully at Hu Liena beside him, Xu Yu who was still struggling to provide support, and his teammates who had fallen to the ground.
He could clearly see the current situation; their first team had lost.
"Congratulations, the championship is yours."
Slightly suppressing the frustration welling up inside him, Xie Yue forced a smile, looked at the seven members of the second team, including Raven, offered a congratulatory greeting, and then sincerely said:
"You are very strong. I heard that you are all under fifteen years old this year. If you grow to my age, it is really hard to imagine what heights you will reach."
"I have to say, Xiao Feng has a great eye. He was able to discover such geniuses like you and put together such a powerful team. It's terrifying."
"In terms of talent, Nana, Yan, and I are all inferior to you."
"We lost this battle."
For a representative figure from the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation to say such a thing is undoubtedly an affirmation of Raven and Feng Xian.
Upon hearing this, the seven girls from the second team couldn't help but smile.
Raven slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. With the support of Little Moon's powerful auxiliary ability, her injuries had almost fully recovered. Apart from the fact that her soul power had been greatly depleted and had not yet fully recovered, she was basically fine.
After Xie Yue finished speaking, Rui Wen immediately responded humbly:
"Brother Xieyue, you flatter me."
"We only won this match by sheer luck. In terms of strength, your team is still stronger."
"Especially the self-created soul skill Moon Kill that you and Sister Nana used at the end, its power was so terrifying that it greatly exceeded our expectations."
"If it weren't for you and Sister Nana showing mercy, Fengxian and I probably wouldn't have been able to hold on at all."
"Besides, Nana-neechan's full strength wasn't displayed either, was it?"
Xie Yue forced a smile:
"Don't be modest, it will make us look like failures."
They knew their own situation best. Although they genuinely didn't want to hurt the girls in front of them, they showed absolutely no intention of holding back in the competition, giving their all with the strongest performance they could muster.
Even so, they still failed to defeat the second team.
That's enough to explain the problem.
Of course, as Raven said, her sister Huliena's abilities were not fully utilized.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
Hu Liena specializes in mental control, and her soul skills are mostly related to mental power. However, their opponents are the Second Team, who are extremely knowledgeable about the use of mental power.
Each of them had practiced the Guiyuan Meditation method of spiritual cultivation taught by Ye Qifeng, which consolidated and sublimated their spirituality. Therefore, they naturally possessed a certain degree of immunity to Hu Liena's mental control.
Even though they will still face some suppression, the impact on the second team is actually not significant.
Therefore, Xie Yue and Yan were the main attackers in this match, while Hu Liena, the number one of the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall, was just a supporting attacker, responsible for assisting the two.
If Hu Liena's cultivation reaches the true level 70 Soul Saint realm and she possesses a Martial Soul True Body, her mental control ability will be truly terrifying.
Regardless of whether it's male or female, or any animal, anything that can move will be controlled by you, making you addicted to a mental illusion from which you cannot extricate yourself.
Hu Liena stood quietly beside Xie Yue without saying a word, but her mood was slightly down and her expression was gloomy.
Of course, she couldn't be happy about losing the game.
Losing the championship was one thing, but another was that he felt ashamed to face his teacher Bibi Dong and Ye Qifeng.
Especially teacher Bibi Dong.
Before the competition began, their teacher, Bibi Dong, repeatedly urged them to defeat the second team and win the final championship of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
However, she lost the championship.
Hu Liena was not afraid of being blamed or punished by Bibi Dong, but she was afraid that Bibi Dong would be disappointed in her.
This would make it even more unacceptable to Hu Liena.
She also has her young boyfriend, Ye Qifeng.
Will he also be disappointed in himself?
Xiao Feng is already a Soul Douluo powerhouse, while his own soul power is only level 60, and he can't even win a single Soul Battle match.
He felt utterly helpless when faced with several younger sisters who were four or five years younger than him.
Although I can't blame myself for losing the game because I didn't have a chance to perform, that shouldn't be an excuse for not doing my job.
After all, he was already a level 60 peak Soul King, only one Soul Ring away from truly stepping into the Soul Emperor realm. How could he perform so poorly?
I feel the gap between me and Xiaofeng is widening.
Hu Liena thought to herself silently, her expression somewhat dazed, until she heard Raven mention her name, which finally brought her back to her senses.
With a slight movement of her beautiful eyes, Hu Liena's gaze fell on the seven girls of the second team, and her disappointed mood eased a little.
With a slight smile playing on her lips, she offered her heartfelt congratulations in a charming and melodious voice:
"Congratulations, my sisters, on winning the overall championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament!"
Before Raven and the other sisters could speak, the lively Jin Yue'er jumped out first, exclaiming in a loud voice:
"Oh, Sister Nana, why are you being so polite?"
"We're all from the Spirit Hall, we're on the same side. Our champion is your champion too."
"Don't worry, we'll split the four ten-thousand-year soul bones that the champion receives as a reward. If you fancy any of them, feel free to take them!"
As Jin Yue'er spoke, she patted her small chest, looking confident, self-assured, generous, and certain.
Seeing this, Ruiwen, Fengxian, and Yelan, the sisters from the second team, twitched their eyebrows and mouths, speechless and facepalming.
Xie Yue and Hu Liena looked completely astonished, clearly taken aback.
Jin Yue'er wasn't just pretending to be generous or spouting nonsense.
Because she already knew that these soul bones were originally prepared for the first team, and letting them choose freely was just returning them to their rightful owner.
Moreover, even if these soul bones fall into the hands of the second team, they will not absorb them.
The Holy Son had already given instructions that he did not want the seven girls to absorb the soul bones, saying it was to prepare for the future and avoid having to endure the pain of bone stripping again.
Although Jin Yue'er didn't understand why they had to do this, she felt that listening to her brother Shengzi was definitely the right thing to do.
Jin Yue'er may have a lively and unconventional personality, but she's not unreasonable.
Her witty remark inexplicably lifted the spirits of Xie Yue and Hu Liena, who had just been looking downcast after their loss in the competition.
Seemingly charmed by Jin Yue'er's cuteness, Hu Liena couldn't help but chuckle. Despite her still weak body, she couldn't resist stepping forward and patting the little girl's head.
"Sister Yue'er, we appreciate your kindness."
"However, there's no need."
"Those four ten-thousand-year-old soul bones are, after all, your championship reward. You should keep them for yourselves to absorb. As losers, we are not entitled to enjoy them."
Jin Yue'er also wanted to say that they didn't actually need it, and it would be a waste to keep it.
But at this moment, the cardinal, who was the referee for this match, had arrived among the crowd, confirmed that the winner between the two teams had been decided, and immediately announced the end of the match:
"The final match of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament: Spirit Hall's First Team versus Spirit Hall's Second Team. Who will emerge victorious?"
"The Spirit Hall's Second Team!"
The news of the Spirit Hall's second team's victory quickly spread throughout the arena.
The audience erupted in applause, and the eliminated contestants also paid their respects.
There will be a short break after the competition.
Before leaving the arena, Xiao Mingyue cast several all-attribute amplification and healing soul beams on her teammates and the opponents of the first team, healing all their injuries and restoring them to their full strength.
After the break, the final awards ceremony will take place.
Unlike the original scenario where there were no spectators and only the winning team received the award, this time the entire event was different.
Almost all the participating college teams were present at this awards ceremony.
There were also many spectators watching the ceremony from the sidelines, almost completely filling the square in front of the Papal Palace.
The vast plaza in front of the Papal Palace was already filled with the participating teams of this Elite Soul Master Tournament.
Blazing Fire Academy, Sky Water Academy, Divine Wind Academy, Beast Academy, Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, Shrek Seven Devils Team, Barak Academy, Plant Academy, and so on—all the eliminated teams are still here.
Even Zhu Zhuyun, who was persuaded by Zhu Zhuqing to stay and watch the competition, brought her entourage and represented Xingluo Royal Academy at the awards ceremony.
As the champions, the Spirit Hall's second team was undoubtedly the absolute protagonist of this awards ceremony.
Naturally, he stood at the very front of all the teams.
Seven girls stood in a row: Ruiwen, Fengxian, Yelan, Jinyueer, Zhuzhuqing, Baichenxiang, and Xiaomingyue.
A faint smile graced everyone's face. They were the champions, yes, they were the final champions, and they deserved to be proud.
The Pope and all the titled Douluo stood up, and Bibi Dong calmly announced:
"Who is the final champion of this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament?"
"The Spirit Hall's Second Team!"
Wearing a magnificent purple-gold papal gown and a radiant nine-curved purple-gold crown, Bibi Dong exuded an aura of holiness and majesty, inspiring awe and reverence.
Her charming, magnetic, mature, and calm voice exudes a noble aura, inspiring endless imagination while remaining unapproachable.
However, at this moment, a faint smile graced her beautiful face, and her pale purple eyes appeared incredibly gentle, radiating boundless kindness and tenderness.
At this moment, the seven girls who were quietly watching the Spirit Hall's second team parted their red lips slightly, and their voices, as beautiful as heavenly music, rang out:
"Congratulations, you talented young Soul Masters!"
At this moment, Bibi Dong revealed another side of her ruthless nature, appearing elegant and composed as she gently waved to the Spirit Hall personnel.
The cardinal, acting as referee, immediately stepped forward with a brocade tray bearing four gleaming soul bones, and announced loudly:
"Please have the representative of the Spirit Hall's Second Team come forward to receive the championship reward."
