The next day, the advancement tournament continued.
After a rest day, Shrek Academy had mostly recovered. Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, Huang Yuan, and Jing Ling were all fully healed. Their opponent that day was not strong, and they managed to win with only minor injuries.
Worth mentioning, Dai Mubai had indeed turned into a big bald head.
As for the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, their progress was smooth as ever, maintaining an unbroken winning streak.
Several days passed like this.
During those days, Huang Yuan, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, and Tang San all gradually recovered from their injuries.
When Tang San finally returned, his very first match ended in a flawless 1 vs 7 victory, carrying his team to another win.
By then, the advancement tournament had reached the 14th round.
At this point, both Shrek Academy and Heaven Dou Royal Academy already knew who their final round opponents would be, even without drawing lots.
Shrek Academy would face Godwind Academy, and Heaven Dou Royal Academy would face Thunderclap Academy.
The next morning—
"Advancement Tournament, Round 15, Match 3, Heaven Dou Royal Academy versus Thunderclap Academy!" The host's voice rang out.
Yang Yunhai stood up and walked directly to the arena.
Seeing him take the lead, the students of Thunderclap Academy all turned pale.
Yu Tianxin, and even Yu Tianheng watching from Shrek's stand, clenched their fists in fury.
There was no need to guess—this was clearly a 1 vs 7 attempt.
To concede without a fight would be humiliating. To fight, only to be beaten in a full sweep, would be even worse. Either way, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would lose face, and Thunderclap Academy would be disgraced before the other elemental academies. None of the others had ever been taken down in a 1 vs 7 before.
Between the two options, conceding was the worse shame. It was the last round of the tournament anyway—injuries wouldn't affect future matches. If they gave up now, there would be no excuse, only cowardice.
For a clan ranked among the Upper Three Sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan shrinking from battle would be a disgrace!
Ta, ta, ta.
Leaping into the arena, Lei Tian, with his Thunder Eagle Martial Soul, wore a dark expression.
"Third soul skill, Thunder Wings!" Reaching the distance, his wings spread, and he soared into the air, charging toward Yang Yunhai.
Yang Yunhai calmly followed his usual tactic. He summoned his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, weaving vine armor, vine serpents, and vine spears. Then he activated his third soul skill, Parasite, spreading a wide carpet of Blue Silver Grass across the ground around him, waiting for Lei Tian to make his move from above.
He was in no hurry. As a flying-type Soul Master, Lei Tian's skill required continuous soul power consumption. Yang Yunhai could afford to wait him out.
Sweat appeared on Lei Tian's forehead. Even though he guessed Yang Yunhai's plan, there was nothing he could do.
"Fourth soul skill, Thunder Eagle!" He flapped his wings, releasing a giant thunder eagle, his body following closely behind.
Knowing his Thunderclap Attribute attacks could not truly harm Yang Yunhai, his only option was close combat—to try and wear down Yang Yunhai's stamina.
At best, he could hope that the energy clash of their skills might wound him.
"Second soul skill, Exploding Thunderball!" He gathered a crackling blue sphere between his palms.
Yang Yunhai raised his hand, golden light condensing at his fingertip. Behind him, two vine serpents lashed forward.
"Discharge!" In the next moment, the golden light burst into compressed lightning, shooting directly at the incoming thunder eagle.
Pu!
With pinpoint accuracy, the thunder eagle was pierced through, destabilized, and promptly unraveled as the vine serpents twisted and tore its energy apart.
Lei Tian rolled aside in midair, dodging the golden arc. With a flick of his hand, he hurled the thunderball.
Yang Yunhai swung his vine spear without hesitation, sweeping it toward Lei Tian's position. At the same time, the vine serpents surged forward to follow up.
Boom!
The spear struck the thunderball, detonating it. The explosion of lightning and shockwave was redirected by the sweep, sent straight back toward Lei Tian.
'How?!' Lei Tian's pupils shrank as he instinctively folded his wings.
Boom!
The lightning struck, tearing his wings apart. In the next instant, the vine serpents coiled around him.
"Second soul skill, Absorption!" Yang Yunhai drained him while slamming his body toward the ground.
"We surrender!" Yu Tianxin shouted immediately, preventing Yang Yunhai from draining his teammate further.
Yang Yunhai didn't hesitate, releasing Lei Tian and letting him drop.
His grudge was with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, not these students—there was no need to go too far.
And this brother was already miserable enough.
With a glance at the Thunderclap Academy students in the stands, Yang Yunhai's thoughts stirred. Just as he expected, when Tang San had detoxified them, he had also absorbed part of their life force. Lei Tian's foundation was clearly damaged—an effect of both poison and life-force extraction. Poison weakened the body, and then more life force was drawn—weak upon weak. How could his foundation remain intact?
If it had only been poison, or only minor life-force absorption, it wouldn't have been so bad.
After all, lost life force could usually be restored through time and recuperation. In fact, all injury recovery consumed life force—the more severe the injury, the more consumed, and the longer the weakness afterward.
But Tang San had been ruthless. Or perhaps he simply didn't understand the limits.
'To harm his own teammates like this…' Yang Yunhai couldn't help but sigh.
While he thought, Lei Tian quickly stood up, still pale, and hurried off the field. His place was taken by his teammate, Lei Dong, a Control System Soul Ancestor with a Thunder Spider Martial Soul.
Without aerial advantage, his control techniques were no more than "free charging material," and Yang Yunhai defeated him with ease.
Then came Lei Mie, Xiao Yunjü, Lu Chen, and Lei Jiuzhong—defeated one by one.
Along the way, Yang Yunhai even replenished his soul power.
"This is way too easy!" Spectators were dumbfounded.
"It's like a father beating his sons—a pure solo show!"
"Yang Yunhai's Lightning Attribute is simply stronger than Thunderclap Academy's. They can't even scratch him."
"Only Yu Tianxin remains, but honestly, I don't see much hope."
"Unless something unexpected happens, Thunderclap Academy is about to be 1 vs 7'd."
Amidst the discussion, Yu Tianxin walked into the arena, face grim.
"Dragon Transformation! Third soul skill, Thunder Fury!" At once, his Martial Soul Possession enhanced his body.
Yang Yunhai looked at him calmly. His voice was flat.
"Fourth soul skill, Thunder Prison!"
Yu Tianxin's expression changed instantly. He halted and drew back his fist. "Fourth soul skill, Blue Lightning Dragon Assault!"
"Haa!" He swung after gathering power, sending a Blue Lightning Dragon crashing forward toward Yang Yunhai, who was still gathering golden light.
But before it even reached halfway—
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Golden light burst outward from Yang Yunhai, thunder roaring as a storm of lightning spread from him in every direction.
Yu Tianxin grit his teeth. There was no time to fully prepare his fourth soul skill. Dragon claws extended forward as his second soul ring lit up.
