After this battle, everyone would remember Feng Xiaotian's name.

Even after the match ended, Feng Xiaotian did not leave the Great Spirit Arena. The central platform had been damaged and needed time to be rebuilt, causing the second group match to be delayed by half an hour.

The match between Tianshui Academy and Blazing Academy was one the audience had been eagerly anticipating. However, neither academy fielded their full main lineup; Xue Wu and Huo Wu didn't participate, which somewhat diminished the excitement surrounding the clash.

Even though it was more of a formality, the clash between water and fire was still exciting, ending in Tianshui Academy's victory in this friendly match. It showcased their impressive teamwork and strategic prowess, even without their top competitors.

Upon learning that neither Tianshui nor Blazing sent out their strongest teams, Tang San lost interest in watching the match. His thoughts were entirely preoccupied with Canghui Academy. In the upcoming match, he planned not just to defeat them but to utterly crush them and make a definitive statement about Shrek Academy's superiority.

Before long, the match was about to begin.

As both teams walked out of the rest area, they eyed each other with clear animosity. This was destined to be anything but a simple battle.

As the highlight of this round, the match between Shrek Academy and Canghui Academy was also scheduled to take place on the central main stage. It was the final major battle of the day, and the stakes were higher than ever.

In the Soul Master stands, Huo Wushuang remarked smugly:

"It seems like Shrek Academy learned their lesson from yesterday. Today, that agility-type female spirit master is joining the lineup."

Feng Xiaotian teased:

"You just lost a match, but it seems your mood hasn't been affected at all. If Zhu Zhuqing had been on the field yesterday, maybe you'd have been the one to lose."

Huo Wushuang scratched his head and glanced at the girls from Tianshui Academy.

"Losing to Tianshui Academy? I admit it—no shame in that."

Huo Wu gave her brother a light kick.

"Brother, you're shameless. You didn't even care about Blazing Academy's honor just for Sister Xue Wu."

"Little sister, wasn't that Tian-ge's idea? Bing'er and Xue Wu haven't even used their spirit fusion skill, Snowfall. We need to keep our strength hidden."

"Always with the excuses."

Feng Xiaotian interrupted:

"Alright, stop arguing and watch the match. Canghui Academy is in for some serious trouble this time."

On the central platform, the match had already begun.

Of Canghui Academy's seven members, only their captain was a Spirit Ancestor, while the other six were Spirit Elders. In terms of power, they were significantly weaker than Shrek Academy.

Canghui Academy's seven members formed a strange formation, and Shrek Academy quickly responded with their own. The atmosphere was charged with tension as both sides seemed to be waiting for the right moment to strike.

For some reason, neither side rushed to make the first move.

In the Soul Master stands, Huo Wushuang couldn't help but ask:

"What's going on? Why haven't Tang San and his team made a move yet? Canghui Academy is clearly weaker than them. Shrek should be able to win this easily, right?"

Feng Xiaotian replied calmly, "Tang San is meticulous. He must have noticed something off. You should learn that from him."

As they spoke, the two teams finally engaged.

Canghui Academy's seven members simultaneously released their martial spirits, which all appeared to be gem-based, giving off an unusual vibe. The vibrant lights and colors from their spirits created a dazzling and disorienting spectacle.

Canghui Academy's captain looked at Tang San coldly and said, "You're calm, but this match will end soon. Prepare to accept defeat."

Dai Mubai scoffed, "The ones who should be ready to lose are you."

"I don't have time to argue with you!" The captain of Canghui Academy smiled sinisterly.

Under his command, the team unleashed their spirit abilities together. A multicolored beam of light flashed, and all seven members of Canghui Academy vanished into thin air. The beam spread outward like a mist, enveloping Shrek Academy's team.

The entire audience fell silent—the scene on the central platform was eerie.

"What just happened?" Shui Bing'er exclaimed from the Soul Master stands.

"Could they have used a seven-in-one spirit fusion skill?" she wondered aloud.

Feng Xiaotian shook his head with a knowing smile. "No, that group isn't capable of performing such an advanced technique. A seven-in-one spirit fusion skill is a divine ability. There's no way they could pull it off. What we're seeing here is merely a seven-in-one fusion technique, nothing more impressive."

After hearing Feng Xiaotian's explanation, several girls in the stands looked at him with newfound admiration and respect.

Shui Yue'er said, "Tian-ge, you really know so much about these techniques. It's impressive."

Feng Xiaotian smiled modestly, "I've read a few books and gathered some knowledge, that's all."

After saying that, he glanced over at the corner where Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and the others were seated. Flender seemed increasingly anxious, gesturing frantically while talking to Yu Xiaogang. In contrast, Yu appeared calm and collected, assessing the situation with a keen, critical eye.

The audience was still confused and murmuring among themselves, not fully understanding what was unfolding on the central platform.

Moments later, the massive multicolored beam of light suddenly vanished without a trace.

Of the 14 people on both teams, only Tang San remained standing in the center of the arena.

All six members of Shrek Academy were coughing up blood, visibly wounded, while the seven members of Canghui Academy lay scattered on the ground, convulsing and foaming at the mouth, their bodies wracked with pain.

The audience was stunned and shocked by the unexpected sight.

Huo Wu gasped in disbelief, "It looks like both teams sustained serious injuries! Shrek's seven members are hurt, and Canghui's team has suffered a backlash from their own technique!"

Feng Xiaotian shook his head and sneered with a hint of disdain, "No, you've all been deceived by Tang San. He's the mastermind who injured everyone on the field, including himself."
