"You have no chance of winning."

Lin Chao unleashed his martial soul, and the moment the Wind Demon Bird appeared, Shi Xing felt as if he were being locked onto.

A powerful sense of danger surged through him.

The Wind Demon Bird.

As Lin Chao released his martial soul, the crowd erupted in shock.

"A Soul Emperor! He's actually a Soul Emperor!"

Feiyan Sect had a Soul Emperor on their team!

Shi Xing… wouldn't be able to complete his seven-match streak after all.

Sigh.

Among the audience, countless people had gathered from across the three Douluo nations to watch this match. But ultimately, this was the Sun and Moon Empire's home turf. Nearly half of the spectators sighed in disappointment, feeling regret for Shi Xing.

Shi Xing heard Lin Chao's words but showed no signs of backing down.

His previously weak posture suddenly changed—he was no longer panting for breath.

Lin Chao frowned.

Was he forcing himself to act tough?

No matter how much you adjust now, it won't change the fact that your soul power is depleted and most of your stamina has been consumed.

That weakness was undeniable—

Lin Chao's pupils shrank violently.

Because Shi Xing had just released his soul rings.

Two yellow, two purple, one black.

Five soul rings rose from beneath him.

Most importantly, his rings weren't flickering.

That meant—Shi Xing hadn't used any soul skills this entire time!

Damn it!

The moment this realization hit, Shi Xing's five soul rings began to glow simultaneously.

All five of his soul skills were soul power amplification techniques.

His second and fourth soul skills even had the added effect of restoring stamina and stimulating his body into peak condition.

Before the stunned eyes of the audience, Shi Xing's weakened state visibly improved.

His soul power surged back to nearly half capacity.

With the enhancements from his battle armor boosting his soul power's quality and explosiveness, it felt as if his fight against Lin Chao had only just begun.

The six Feiyan Sect members who had already been defeated looked utterly grim.

Xu Tiannan, who had been wondering how Shi Xing planned to keep fighting, suddenly burst into laughter upon witnessing this scene.

"Good! Good! Hahaha! A reward—if Shi Xing wins this match, reward him with two hundred kilograms of rare metal!"

For this final battle, Shi Xing opted for a battle of attrition—the very strategy he had loathed in his last two fights.

The Wind Demon Bird was too fast. Even when he barely managed to track Lin Chao's position, he couldn't aim or land an attack.

So, he simply dragged the fight out.

And so—

Thirty minutes later.

"Shi Xing, victory!"

As Shi Xing swapped in two more small soul bottles to recharge his belt, he looked down at the fallen Lin Chao and said calmly:

"Sorry, but in the end, I won."

Lin Chao exhaled deeply, then nodded.

"I accept this loss wholeheartedly."

Though Shi Xing had used strategy to lure them into a one-versus-seven scenario, there was no denying that his victory was built on pure strength and skill.

Looking at the battle armor Shi Xing wore, Lin Chao sighed inwardly.

"A battle armor master…"

A one-versus-seven!

In the individual competition, Shi Xing—an unknown Soul King—had completed a legendary seven-win streak.

And he had done so against a full team of Soul Kings and even a Soul Emperor, members of the renowned Feiyan Sect.

What had enabled him to accomplish this feat?

His battle armor!

"Battle Armor Master!"

"Battle Armor Master!"

"Battle Armor Master!"

At that moment, the cheers in the Grand Soul Arena erupted like a tidal wave.

The chant of "Battle Armor Master" spread, growing louder and louder.

Feiyan Sect chose to forfeit.

The Feiyan Sect decided to forfeit the team competition.

After the individual match, the morale of the entire team had been severely crushed. Continuing to force the team competition would only result in certain defeat.

Moreover, if they couldn't defeat Shi Xing in a seven-on-one, how could they face what could potentially be seven Shi Xing-level opponents?

"Second round, team competition: Feiyan Sect forfeits. The winner of this round is the Sun and Moon Royal Team!"

It was clear from the announcer's voice that there was excitement in the air.

One string of seven!

This was the first one-string-seven in this tournament.

After the Sun and Moon Royal Team's victory, neither the Shrek team nor the Holy Spirit Church team participated in any further matches that day.

However, the match of the Xue Mo Sect was on the horizon.

Su Yu had also learned about the Xue Mo Sect by now.

It was actually a team formed by the Snow Emperor, composed entirely of ice-element soul masters, and led personally by the Snow Emperor.

Su Yu felt a bit speechless at this revelation.

In this tournament, the Snow Emperor finally made an appearance, leading the team himself, much to Su Yu's surprise.

Su Yu recalled that in the original story, the Xue Mo Sect was just a name created by the Body Sect to avoid suspicion. He wondered how the Xue Mo Sect was participating this time, considering the Body Sect was openly entering the competition and had refrained from attacking the Ming De Hall.

Turns out, the Snow Emperor was leading them.

Of course, with the coincidence of the name, Su Yu had suspected the sect might indeed exist in this world.

At the Sun and Moon Royal Hotel, Wang Xian'er had just completed a new round of treatment for Old Xuan and was recovering her own state.

"This time, things are troublesome."

Listening to Xu Jiujiu and Yan Shaozhe's reports, both Medical Immortal Douluo and Xuanzi had solemn expressions.

One-string-seven!

In the last tournament, Su Yu's accomplishment had been remarkable, but now, it was Shi Xing who had achieved it.

And Shi Xing might have been the weakest link in the Sun and Moon Royal Team's lineup.

The pressure was starting to build.

"Little girl, there's something I'm not sure whether to mention or not," Xuanzi said, his face twisted in hesitation. Finally, he gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Please, senior, go ahead," Xu Jiujiu said after a brief pause. She seemed to have an inkling of what Xuanzi was about to ask but didn't show her hand, allowing him to speak first.

"In the upcoming matches, if you face the Sun and Moon Royal Team, I hope you can try to exhaust them as much as possible. Similarly, our Tang Sect and the Shrek teams will adopt the same strategy."

As for the Body Sect—

No need for discussion. They would give everything they had when facing the Sun and Moon Royal Team.

What worried them was the possibility of meeting each other first.

But after today's performance by the Sun and Moon Royal Team, the Body Sect would definitely be under a lot of pressure too.

"I need to consult with the team members about this, but I'll try my best to persuade them," Xu Jiujiu replied.

"That's good."

Hearing Xu Jiujiu's response, Xuanzi knew the collaboration was almost settled.

"Shaozhe, see if you can communicate with the Body Sect."

"Leave this to me. The leader of the Body Sect is probably Princess Weina of the Tianhun Empire. I'll talk to her," Xu Jiujiu said.

"That works."

At the Sun-Moon Hotel, room 104.

"Xu Jiujiu?" Weina greeted as she opened the door.

"Weina, you saw the performance of the Sun and Moon Royal Team today. With their strength, it's almost impossible for any one side to defeat them alone."
