142 Finals BeginsYang Ping'an was not very interested in Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong. They were just a group of rich second-generations. If they lost, they would have to go back to inherit the family property. It would be better for him to think more about his own affairs.
In fact, the purpose of this Soul Master Competition has basically been achieved. The next step is to snipe Shrek, and Tang San's adding soul rings to the Clear Sky Hammer in advance is the only variable.
Yang Ping'an was thinking carefully about how to maximize his own interests, on the one hand to snipe Shrek, and on the other hand to get what he wanted.
Three days passed quickly, the finals officially began, and the Monster Academy began to really prepare for the show. This time, Yang Pingan himself also entered the main lineup.
The qualifying matches were not complicated, all of them were single-round elimination matches with a draw, with fifteen teams from each of the two empires, plus three seeded teams, for a total of thirty-three teams.
In the first round, three seeded teams will have a bye, and the remaining thirty teams will draw lots for a one-on-one elimination match. Then, multiple rounds of matches will be held in succession. In each round, byes will be awarded according to the ranking of the promotion match, from first to fourth. If a team is eliminated early, the order will be directly postponed.
After four consecutive rounds of eliminations, the fifth round will be a three-way battle, which means that the three teams will first compete individually to determine one winner and two losers.
The two loser groups will then compete in a team competition, and the winning team will compete in the final against the winner of the individual competition.
It is said that during the finals, the rewards of this Soul Master Competition, which are three top-grade soul bones, will be officially displayed, and even the Pope and the elders of the Spirit Hall will be present to participate.
The first round draw for the Exotic Beast Academy was pretty good, as they faced off against the Longkui Academy team, a team from the Xingluo Empire. Their overall strength was probably at the bottom among all the teams.
Based on the information that Meng Chuan had previously arranged for personnel to explore the Xing Luo Empire, he directly deployed a strong attack tactic, striving to take the enemy away in one wave.
In addition to Yang Ping'an, the lineup included captain Meng Haoran, team members Meng Xuanlang, Meng Xiaoshan, Li Xiang, Wang Meng, and Li Yi. They were considered the best lineup in the entire Exotic Beast Academy. No matter in attack, defense or coordination, all aspects had reached the peak in the history of the Exotic Beast Academy.
When everyone stepped onto the stage, the lineup of all Soul Masters immediately attracted everyone's attention. After all, from the current situation, among the 33 participating teams, except for the three seeded teams, only the Monster Academy could achieve a lineup of all Soul Masters.
With the referee's order, the game officially began.
Yang Ping'an, Meng Haoran, and Meng Xuanlang took the lead and rushed directly to the front of the team, attacking the area of Longkui Academy members. Meng Xiaoshan and Li Xiang flew up quickly. Their martial spirits were a colorful butterfly and a flame eagle, respectively, and they had good flying skills.
Wang Meng, as the defensive soul master in the team, followed the control soul master Li Yi, while also protecting the auxiliary soul master Meng Xiaoshan.
Just when Yang Ping'an and the other two were about to charge into the opponent's formation, Meng Xiaoshan's martial spirit, the Seven-Colored Butterfly, emitted bursts of light, and he directly used his second soul skill: the power of red. Immediately, a red light merged into everyone's body, and they felt that their strength had been greatly enhanced.
At the same time, Li Yi, the controlling soul master in the center of the battlefield, also used his second soul skill: spider web binding. The huge underground magic bead directly sprayed out a huge spider web, as if to control all the people on the opposite side in the spider web.
Before they could react to interrupt Li Yi's spider web control, Yang Ping'an and the other two had already flown up. Yang Ping'an's hands were filled with golden power, and his hands turned into dragon claws, directly grabbing the strong attacking soul master who was rushing forward on the opposite side.
Meng Haoran and Meng Xuanlang were waving the dragon head cane and snake head cane respectively and using their respective soul skills to launch a strong attack. Meng Haoran used his first soul skill, the dragon head assault. The dragon head cane seemed to come alive and suddenly a huge dragon head appeared, charging directly towards the opposite side.
When Meng Xuanlang used his first soul skill: Wild Dance of Strange Snakes, the snake-head crutch turned into countless strange snakes, as if to wrap around all the opponents, and there was also tearing power on the snake heads. This soul skill has the characteristics of both strong attack and control.
In just a moment, the opponent's defensive lineup was broken up, and Li Xiang in the air turned into a huge flaming eagle, ready to reap the defeated opponents at any time.
In just a few minutes, the Exotic Beast Academy eliminated all seven opponents with its powerful strength and tacit cooperation. It was so quick and efficient that even Yang Pingan didn't have to use his soul skills.
All the visitors at the scene were suddenly shocked. Judging from this situation and comparison, the strength of the Monster Academy once again refreshed everyone's imagination, especially the terrifyingly stronger attack power.
Almost all the members of the Exotic Beast Academy have beast spirits or spirits related to beast spirits. In terms of attack power alone, they are the strongest on the scene. After all, relatively speaking, the effect of beast spirits on the body is the strongest among all soul masters in the early stages.
What surprised everyone was that, although all of them had beast spirits, they worked together very well and at very fast speeds. Each of them seemed to be very powerful, and even the Soul Master of Longkui Academy could not withstand it.
To Yang Ping'an's surprise, although both the Shinfeng Academy and the Chihuo Academy performed very well in this competition, it was just like the original novel. All the students from the Chihuo Academy were merged into the Shinfeng Academy, forming a team of all Soul Masters, and their coordination was very good.
New Kamikaze also crushed its opponents in the first round. Even if the opponent was a team that performed well in the promotion round, they were crushed almost throughout the whole process and were quickly defeated by New Kamikaze.
Especially Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu, their cooperation was really good. With the support of the Fire Element Soul Master from the Chihuo Academy, the attack power of several wind-attribute Soul Masters from the Shenfeng Academy increased greatly.

For a time, New Kamikaze became the favorite to win the championship, second only to the Beast Academy.
Yang Ping'an looked at the new Kamikaze team and just shook his head slightly. The seven soul masters of the new Kamikaze team worked together very well indeed, and even the personnel configuration was perfect. It could be said that their strong attack, agile attack, control and assistance almost met all the requirements of a strong team, but their shortcoming was that they had no real strong points.
In other words, they don't have any real advantages that can crush the opponent, such as martial soul fusion skills, or a soul king that can crush the opponent.
If he didn't have this kind of strong point that could make him stand out, he would only rely on his soul power to fight his opponent. If his opponent was weaker, he could indeed win quickly. But if his opponent was too strong, he would easily fall into a tug-of-war and eventually be defeated by the opponent's strong points. Feng Xiaotian currently didn't have the kind of strong point that could crush his opponent.
In the first round, Shrek Academy drew the Blazing Academy which had given up, just like in the original novel. It won without even appearing on the field, which was considered an easy win.
