Watching Tang Hao collapse after a frontal Power Attack from Yu Xiaogang, everyone who had still harbored hopes of supporting Tang Hao fell into silence.
If they could still use the excuse of Yu Xiaogang being underhanded to defend their position regarding his previous victory in the individual competition,
that was no longer the case now; Yu Xiaogang had genuinely defeated Tang Hao in a frontal battle.
Even if they considered Yu Xiaogang's Elementalization Spirit Ability to be too cheap.
It was still a normal Spirit Ability effect.
The Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament is a competition of a Spirit Master's Soul Power Rank, team coordination, the strength of their Spirit, and the application of Spirit Ability.
What made everyone find it inconceivable was why watching Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao fight one-on-one felt like watching a group brawl?
What normal Spirit Master, when fighting, could separate their upper and lower body and attack with both sides simultaneously?
It could only be said that Yu Xiaogang's fighting style was simply too advanced.
On the other side, Bibi Dong and the others had long since dealt with the rest of the Iron Fire Academy. Seeing Yu Xiaogang defeat Tang Hao, everyone felt not a shred of surprise, merely happily gathering around Yu Xiaogang to celebrate.
"I announce that the grand champion of this Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament is the Spirit Hall Academy Second Team!"
While the members of the Second Team were celebrating, the referee timely announced the final results of the competition.
With the champion born, the spectators who had already stopped supporting Tang Hao began to cheer for the members of the Second Team.
Especially for their captain, Yu Xiaogang.
As a mere Spirit Ancestor, he had twice defeated Tang Hao, who was a Spirit Emperor.
And both times, he had used different methods to achieve victory.
In other words, as far as Yu Xiaogang was concerned, Tang Hao was undeniably a defeated opponent.
This result also caused the title of the number one person of the younger generation, which had been under constant debate, to firmly fall upon Yu Xiaogang's head.
The members of the various factions who had come to watch the battle made up their minds to use every possible means to collect information on how Yu Xiaogang had grown to this point once they returned.
How could a guy with First Level Innate Spirit Power and a maliciously mutated Spirit reach this point?
Could they also replicate such a feat?
Although everyone understood that being able to reach this point today meant Yu Xiaogang's own abilities were absolutely extraordinary—he was only held back by his talent.
But what if? What if they also had someone in their own Ranks with sufficient ability but insufficient talent?
Besides this, Yu Xiaogang's Spirit Ability, Yu Xiaogang's combat mindset, Yu Xiaogang's techniques... In short, after today, everything about Yu Xiaogang would be deeply studied by all parties.
This was the path that almost every newly rising Genius on the Douluo Continent must tread.
On the Supreme Pontiff's throne, Qian Xunji, as the Supreme Pontiff, stared at Yu Xiaogang in the center of the crowd below, contemplating everything about him.
In the past, Qian Xunji's understanding of Yu Xiaogang had been from written records and reports from others.
But today, he had witnessed Yu Xiaogang's various methods with his own eyes.
So, even though Qian Xunji was a powerhouse, he had to admit that Yu Xiaogang had opened his eyes.
Take, for example, that Elementalization Spirit Ability of Yu Xiaogang's; it wasn't as if there were no similar ones on the Douluo Continent.
Incarnation as water, Incarnation as ice—these Spirit Abilities were not non-existent.
But those people only used such Spirit Abilities to save their lives.
Yet in Yu Xiaogang's hands, this move had become a super-strong functional Spirit Ability.
It could be used for defense and offense, and when used for offense, it could directly break through the limitations of the human body.
Separating the upper and lower body to attack simultaneously—if this scene were placed in front of you, ask yourself, what normal person wouldn't be full of question marks?
"The First Spirit Skill creates creations, and then one can also manipulate these creations."
"Through this Spirit Ability, it connects the Soul Bone Skill, turning a Soul Bone Skill that was originally purely for saving one's life into a means of assisting attacks."
"I really didn't expect that the seemingly plain and unremarkable First Spirit Skill could actually produce such a great effect."
"I don't know what the source of this Spirit Ability is. If I could know, perhaps the spirit ring configuration of the Angel Martial Soul could also be changed?"
Qian Xunji pondered in his mind.
In his view, Yu Xiaogang's Spirit attribute was light, and for the Angel Martial Soul, his spirit ring configuration could be directly copied.
However, after thinking for a long time, with countless types of Spirit Beasts flashing through Qian Xunji's mind, he still couldn't think of what kind of Spirit Beast provided such a Heaven-Defying Spirit Ability.
"Therefore, if I want to know what Spirit Beast Yu Xiaogang's First Soul Ring came from, I can only ask the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect."
"...Forget it, better to consider it later."
Qian Xunji rubbed his temples.
The price required to obtain information on which Spirit Beast Yu Xiaogang's First Soul Ring was obtained from would likely be high enough to make Spirit Hall hurt.
Such a core, top-secret, and generational secret that could benefit the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, its value, perhaps even a 100,000-Year Soul Bone wouldn't necessarily be enough to trade for it.
"His Holiness the Pope, it is time for you to present the awards to the champions."
The Dragon Scale Douluo on the side saw Qian Xunji's furrowed brow and could guess a little of what he was thinking.
So, he used the award ceremony to divert Qian Xunji's attention.
Sure enough, as the Dragon Scale Douluo's voice fell, Qian Xunji's originally furrowed brow switched in one second to the Supreme Pontiff's iconic smile.
That's right, he still had to present the awards.
And at the thought that the prizes he had originally prepared for Tang Hao had ended up in Yu Xiaogang's hands, Qian Xunji's heart couldn't help but twitch.
Two Spirit Bones; if he had successfully ambushed Tang Hao, that would be one thing.
But the result was that Yu Xiaogang had gotten his hands on them.
This wave was a total loss, throwing good money after bad.
It was just a pity that no matter how uncomfortable he felt inside, Qian Xunji still had to put on a smiling face and personally present the awards to Yu Xiaogang.
Thus, under everyone's gaze, Qian Xunji rose from the throne and slowly walked toward the arena.
At the same time, two members of Spirit Hall, carrying trays with the Spirit Bones, followed quietly behind Qian Xunji.
The originally lively spectator seats suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at the two trays behind Qian Xunji, their greedy and yearning gazes almost unconcealed.
But as their gazes turned to Yu Xiaogang, the greed in everyone's hearts consciously diminished significantly.
This person's background was not something they could covet.
Just like that, under the gaze of everyone, Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong, representing the members of the Second Team, accepted the two Spirit Bones.
After completing the award ceremony, Qian Xunji gave another closing speech.
When the speech ended, this Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament was finally completely over.
With the end of the competition, the name Yu Xiaogang officially became a household name; even Spirit Masters in remote small towns knew this name.
This super Genius who could, as a Spirit Ancestor, cross two major Ranks to defeat the peerless Genius of the Clear Sky Sect!
