Seeing Lin Yu and Qian Renxue also present, some people in the audience were happy, while others were worried.
At least Tang San's face was the most unpleasant: "Damn it! He actually entered the competition. I can't use Hidden Weapons in the Spirit Master Competition. If I encounter the Spirit Hall Team, won't I be crushed by Lin Yu again?"
"The Spirit Master Competition rules restrict me; I can't beat him!"
Gu Yuena also smiled faintly: "Heh, it's good that he's competing. This competition wasn't a wasted trip for me."
She had been waiting for Lin Yu to participate.
As the Spirit Hall Team made their entrance, Bibi Dong, accompanied by Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, also entered to deliver the opening speech: "Congratulations to everyone for making it all the way to the finals."
"I hope all teams will showcase their style and perform brilliantly in the upcoming matches!"
"And the team that ultimately wins this competition, I believe everyone already knows the reward is three ten-thousand-year Spirit Bones of a high grade!"
"They are the Mind Condensing Wisdom Skull."
"The Burst Incineration Flame Right Arm Bone."
"And the Swift Advance Wind Chasing Left Leg Bone."
"Whether you can obtain these three Spirit Bones depends on your efforts." Bibi Dong said, retracting the three Spirit Bones, and finally announced: "Now, I declare the Spirit Master Competition Finals officially open!"
The rules of the finals included a bye system.
In the first round, the Spirit Hall Team, Star Luo Team One, and Heaven Dou Team One, who were directly seeded into the finals, would receive a bye and advance directly, skipping the first round of matches and proceeding straight into the top eighteen of the competition.
The remaining thirty teams would draw lots for their matchups.
Lin Yu and Qian Renxue planned to stay and watch the matches, to observe the level of the various teams in the finals, and most importantly, the strength of the Wind, Water, Fire Academy and Gu Yuena.
As the matches began one after another,
The winners advanced, and the losers were eliminated.
The seventh match of the first round of the finals finally arrived: Wind, Water, Fire Academy versus the Tool Spirit Academy from the Star Luo region.
"It's the Wind, Water, Fire Academy's turn. I'm very curious about how strong Gu Yuena really is, and if she's truly as powerful as you said." Qian Renxue watched Gu Yuena with interest.
However, Gu Yuena didn't even participate in this match.
Even Feng Xiaotian, Shui Bing'er, and Huo Wu did not appear.
Of the five core main players from the Wind, Water, Fire Academy, only Huo Wushuang appeared.
"Hiding their strength! It seems we won't have a chance to see Gu Yuena in action until the top ten." Lin Yu smiled helplessly at the situation.
The Tool Spirit Academy's strength in the Star Luo region could only be considered upper-middle, and they only had one Spirit Ancestor expert.
But the Wind, Water, Fire Academy had a full roster of two Spirit Kings, seven Spirit Ancestors, and three Spirit Elders.
Even with only Huo Wushuang as a core main player, they still had a lineup of four Spirit Ancestors and three Spirit Elders, which was more than enough to crush the Tool Spirit Academy.
At this moment, the simple personal information of both teams' members appeared on the large screen.
Huo Wushuang, Spirit: Horned Fire Dragon, spirit power: Level 44.
"Oh? Level 44 spirit power? It seems to be one level higher than in the original work, right?" Lin Yu pondered.
The battle quickly began.
The Wind, Water, Fire Academy immediately launched a strong offensive against the Tool Spirit Academy. Huo Wushuang took the lead, fighting very aggressively and fiercely, directly suppressing the opponent's two core main players.
From the very beginning of the match, the Tool Spirit Academy was completely suppressed.
"Third Spirit Ability, Tyrannical Dragon's Rage!!"
"Roar!!"
Huo Wushuang activated his self-enhancing amplification ability. Claws appeared between his hands, his arms swelled, and the scales, which resembled a dinosaur's, burst forth with golden-red light, while both his arms burned with scorching flames.
In his full-power state, the opponent was completely defenseless against Huo Wushuang, who displayed astonishing combat power.
"Huo Wushuang has actually become so much stronger. Not only has his Element Control over fire greatly improved, but his combat ability is also extraordinary." Lin Yu was somewhat surprised.
Because Huo Wushuang's growth was unexpectedly rapid, he speculated: "Is it because of Gu Yuena?"
Huo Wushuang was clearly much stronger than at the same period in the original work.
In a short while, Huo Wushuang, with his formidable might, led the Wind, Water, Fire Academy to victory over the Tool Spirit Academy.
"Finals, First Round, Seventh Match, Wind, Water, Fire Academy wins!"
"That's interesting. I'm starting to look forward to the changes in Feng Xiaotian, Shui Bing'er, and Huo Wu." Lin Yu smiled inwardly.
He had a premonition that Feng Xiaotian, Shui Bing'er, and Huo Wu might also be more powerful than he had anticipated.
Soon, after a series of competitions, the top eighteen teams were determined.
A total of 15 teams were directly eliminated.
Most of the teams that entered the top eighteen generally had at least one Spirit Ancestor expert leading them.
According to the rules of the finals, in the second stage, the teams that placed first in the Heaven Dou region and Star Luo region qualifiers would receive a bye in the second round of the finals, directly advancing to the top ten.
The Wind, Water, Fire Academy was the first-place team in the Heaven Dou region qualifiers, so they would directly receive a bye and advance to the top ten, skipping the second round of matches.
But in the second round, the Spirit Hall Team, Heaven Dou Team One, and Star Luo Team One would finally enter the arena.
"Finals, Second Round, First Match!"
"Spirit Hall Team versus Plant Academy!"
"The Spirit City Team is here! They're about to appear! Damn, I'm so excited! I wonder what level the other members of the Spirit Hall Team are, besides Hall Master Lin Yu and Young Master Qian Renxue."
The entire venue instantly erupted, everyone eagerly anticipating and paying attention to the strength of the Spirit Hall Team.
Lin Yu arranged: "Yan, Zhuqing, Oscar, Zhang Ping, Sun Chuantao, Li Kai, Xu Yu, the seven of you go."
"Yes!"
Lin Yu sent out two main players and five substitutes.
Seeing that the lowest-ranked member of the Spirit Hall Team was Zhuqing, a peak Level 43 Spirit Ancestor, the other teams immediately felt immense pressure.
"All Spirit Ancestors! Spirit Hall is indeed strong!"
"But do they only have one Spirit King? Besides Lin Yu and Qian Renxue, the others don't seem to be particularly outstanding!"
"Are you stupid! How many of these seven people who appeared are substitutes? There must be others stronger than them!"
Zhu Zhu Yun, from Star Luo Team One, felt very unhappy seeing Zhuqing's current strength: "Zhuqing, my sister! I didn't expect you to have grown to such an extent in just a few years after leaving the Zhu family, only 4 levels of spirit power behind me."
"Hmph! It's truly annoying."
Zhu Zhu Yun was a full five years older than Zhuqing, but now their spirit power difference was only 4 levels, which undoubtedly proved that Zhuqing's potential and talent were now superior to her older sister's.
This made her, as the older sister, very displeased.
But fortunately, Zhuqing had already left the Zhu family, so no matter how fast she developed, she wouldn't pose a threat or influence to her.
The match began quickly.
The Spirit Hall Team, with overwhelming power, easily crushed the Plant Academy in less than a minute, securing their first victory.
The battle prowess of Zhuqing and the others was partially showcased, which immediately made the entire audience marvel at the might of Spirit Hall once again.
