They were all immersed in their own world, making final preparations for the upcoming battle. At this time, the Shrek team also arrived late. Although they had been eliminated, they would not miss such a wonderful game.

Moreover, there are former Shrek Academy members in the Holy Spirit Sect.

No matter what, they will come to watch this game.

Beibei also tried to pull Tangya back.

Invincible Douluo Zheng Zhan strode onto the competition stage. The morning competition ended very quickly, which relaxed his tense nerves a lot. At this moment, he was full of energy and in high spirits.

Thinking back to the upcoming match, Zheng Zhan knew in his heart that this would be the most difficult match he would ever officiate in this tournament.

The duel between the Holy Spirit Sect and the Snow Demon Sect is bound to be fierce as both sides are very powerful. If you are not careful, the situation may become uncontrollable.

However, Zheng Zhan had already received instructions from the top. For this game, he only needed to maintain a relaxed attitude and let both sides play to their heart's content without too much intervention.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhan finally let go of his worry. He took a deep breath and prepared to face this fierce battle.

On the rostrum, Xu Tianran turned to look at the Imperial Master beside him, with a hint of curiosity in his tone: "Imperial Master, for this match, which team do you think has a greater chance of winning, the Holy Spirit Sect or the Snow Demon Sect?"

The Imperial Master's voice was as deep as ever, with a hint of mystery in it: "Fifty-fifty."

When Xu Tianran heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He knew very well that this national teacher had always been arrogant, but he did not expect that he would give such a conservative assessment of this game.

"Oh? So, the Imperial Master believes that the Snow Demon Sect also has a 50% chance of winning? Where does this 50% chance mainly lie?" Xu Tianran asked, with a hint of inquiry in his tone.

The national teacher said calmly: "The tactics of the Snow Demon Sect are flexible and unpredictable. The tacit cooperation they show in team battles is unmatched by any other team at present.

Of course, the Holy Spirit Sect also has its own unique features, which are inseparable from Huo Yuhao's spirit-controlled martial spirit.

As for the Snow Demon Sect's 50% winning rate, it is mainly due to their unpredictability. Their captain cannot be judged by common sense. The result of this game will ultimately depend on whether their opponents will take it seriously."

Xu Tianran nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then said, "Okay, then we will wait and see what kind of excitement this game will bring us."

Xu Tianran actually had no particular preference for this match. Although the Holy Spirit Sect, or the Holy Spirit Church, had a close connection with him, deep down in his heart Xu Tianran did not have much affection for this evil soul master sect. The two sides were just in a relationship of mutual benefit.

If the Holy Spirit Sect lost this game, the public pressure he would have to bear would be much less.

If the Holy Spirit Sect wins, it will just be a relief, but if the Holy Spirit Sect wins the championship in the end, the pressure from public opinion that he will have to bear will be much greater.

It can even be said that it has ruined the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, which has a tradition of tens of thousands of years.

Therefore, regardless of the victory or defeat of the Holy Spirit Sect, there are pros and cons for Xu Tianran himself.

He likes to watch the game without any bias. He feels calm and can better appreciate the excitement of the game itself.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, the cheers from the audience gradually died down, and everyone's eyes were focused on the competition stage.

Zheng Zhan's voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the competition venue:
"Next, we will have the most crucial match of this tournament - the second semi-final! This match will determine which team will eventually stand on the championship stage! Let us welcome both teams with the warmest applause!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience erupted into thunderous applause and cheers, deafening.

"First of all, let us welcome the powerful Snow Demon Sect team from the northern part of the continent!"

The spotlight instantly shone on one side of the competition stage, and seven young talents in snow-white uniforms stood proudly. They were the contestants from the Snow Demon Sect.

Except for Han Yu, the other six people stood up almost at the same time. Amid the deafening cheers, there was a determined light in each of their eyes, which was the desire for victory and the trust in each other.

"Their opponent is the Holy Spirit Sect, a veteran team from the southern part of the continent that also possesses extraordinary strength!"

Another spotlight illuminated the other side of the stage. Seven young men and women in dark purple uniforms slowly stood up. Their expressions were serious and stern. Tang Ya, who was in the lead, exuded an icy aura, as if she came from the abyss of hell.

They walked towards the waiting area with steady steps. Every step seemed to step on everyone's heart, making people hold their breath.

"Players from both sides, please enter the waiting area!"

Soon, players from both teams were in position in the waiting area, adjusting their status and preparing for the upcoming battle.

"Individual elimination round, first game, players from both teams are on stage!" Zheng Zhan's voice sounded again, drawing everyone's attention back to the game itself.

As soon as he finished speaking, a short young man from the Holy Spirit Sect quickly stood up. He flashed and floated onto the competition stage like a ghost, as light as a fallen leaf without making any sound.

Almost at the same time, on the Snow Demon Sect's side, Yuan Gungun also stood up proudly. He tapped the ground lightly with his toes, and the whole person flew onto the competition stage like an arrow.

Yuan Gungun's appearance obviously surprised the Holy Spirit Sect. They did not expect that the Snow Demon Sect would be the first to send Yuan Gungun to appear.

Although Yuan Gungun had not fought many times, after the investigation of the Holy Spirit Sect, they were very clear that this seemingly honest boy had an extremely powerful martial soul and should not be underestimated.

Who would have thought that he would be the first to appear in such a crucial game!
The contestants from both sides walked towards the center of the competition stage at the same time without stopping, and soon stood in front of Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan. There was only a distance of several meters between them, but there was a strong smell of gunpowder in the air.

Zheng Zhan's eyes swept over the two of them and he said in a deep voice, "Both parties share the same name!"

"Snow Demon Sect, Yuan Gungun!" Yuan Gungun's voice was loud and powerful, full of confidence.

"Holy Spirit Sect, Jili." The short young man responded coldly. His voice was low and hoarse, making people feel uncomfortable. Jili? The name sounds quite auspicious, but it's a pity that he is an evil soul master. In the audience, some people whispered, and their words were full of worry.

As the soul guide shield around the competition stage slowly rises, it also means that this much-anticipated competition is about to begin!

"Both sides retreat and prepare for the competition!" Zheng Zhan gave the order.

Yuan Gungun narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked deeply at Jili standing opposite him. This short opponent seemed to exude a cold aura, which made people feel cold.

Jili always had an unpredictable sneer on his face, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a dangerous arc. His eyes were like a deep pool of water, bottomless, emitting a creepy dark green light.

That look was like a venomous snake staring at its prey, full of greed and viciousness, making people shudder. What was even more disturbing was that his pupils were constantly changing slightly, sometimes shrinking, sometimes expanding, as if some unknown danger was lurking. However, facing the gloomy aura of his opponent, Yuan Gungun seemed unusually calm.

He took a deep breath, put aside all distracting thoughts, and devoted himself to the upcoming battle.

At this moment, his eyes became extremely determined, and a powerful fighting spirit gushed out from his body, instantly sweeping across the entire arena.

He walked with steady steps, step by step, to the edge of the competition stage on his side, facing Jili from a distance.

Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan first turned around slowly, his eyes swept across the rostrum, and after pausing for a moment, he slightly raised his head and looked at the sky, as if he was estimating something.

Finally, he calmly raised his right hand, clenched his five fingers, and held it high above his head.

"Game!" He paused, and his loud voice echoed in the arena.
"Begin!" With Zheng Zhan's announcement, the second semi-final officially kicked off. Unlike his previous silence in battles, Gungun suddenly let out a deafening roar the moment Zheng Zhan announced the start.

The roar came so suddenly and so violently that it even completely drowned out the last syllable of the word "start" that Zheng Zhan announced.

Before anyone could react, Gungun's body began to change dramatically. His originally sturdy body expanded rapidly like an inflated balloon.

Layers of fat rolled outwards like rough waves, and the clothes, which were already very loose, were stretched tightly, as if they would burst at any time by this powerful force.

His already extremely tall body rapidly grew again in just a short moment, becoming even larger and more powerful, like a towering mountain, giving people an unshakable sense of oppression.

A heavy shadow loomed over the arena, and the audience could only look up at the terrifying beast.

He slowly stood up, and his whole body reached a height of about three meters, like a little giant.

Seeing Yuan Gungun's amazing transformation, the audience suddenly erupted in thunderous cheers that were deafening.

They were very familiar with Yuan Gungun and had a certain understanding of his strength. When they saw him use his martial spirit, everything suddenly became familiar, as if they had returned to those exciting competitions in the past.

At this moment, Yuan Gungun changed his previous tactics. He did not choose to defend blindly, but instead launched a fierce attack.

Don't be fooled by his appearance as a defensive spirit master, in fact, his close combat ability is quite strong, even terrifying.

Yuan Gungun suddenly shouted, and six soul rings, two yellow, two purple, and two black, rose up under his feet, reflecting each other and releasing a frightening energy wave. Dazzling muscles quickly covered his whole body, as hard as steel, especially his arms, which became particularly strong and full of explosive power. Even his hair had a layer of blue-purple light, exuding a mysterious aura.

With his toes lightly tapping the ground, his huge body rushed towards his opponent at high speed like an arrow, the speed was so fast that it was astonishing.

Jili was also unwilling to be outdone. He seemed to be weightless and moved lightly towards the center of the field, like a feather floating in the wind. Although the speed of both sides was not too fast, the competition stage was so small that in the blink of an eye, the two of them were already in close combat.

But it only took two breaths to reach the center of the competition stage, with less than one meter between them.

Yuan Gungun raised his hand, and his palm, as big as a palm fan, grabbed the other party at such a fast speed that it was difficult for people to react.

Soul attack skills will never be better if the size is bigger. In many cases, size and power are inversely proportional.

Ji Li's reaction from the Holy Spirit Sect was very strange. Facing Yuan Gungun's thunderous attack, his body strangely curled up slightly, and then quickly stretched out, as if he was accumulating some terrible power.

A stream of cold light blue air burst out from his body, wrapping him completely in it and forming an indestructible barrier.

Then, something even more shocking happened. His short body suddenly swelled up, and his black clothes were instantly torn apart, revealing an extremely strange figure.

Jili's body expanded rapidly under the stimulation of the three soul rings, two yellow and one purple. The first and third soul rings shone brightly, symbolizing that the power of these two soul skills had been stimulated to the extreme by him.

His upper body seemed to be inflated, with knotted muscles and bulging like rocks, full of explosive power.

Blue-grey scales emerged from under his skin, emitting a metallic luster, completely covering his upper body as if he were wearing a layer of hard armor.

In sharp contrast to the swelling of his upper body, his lower limbs became shorter, and his originally slender legs were compressed together, like the hind legs of a wild beast, full of power.

The changes in the head were the most drastic. The original facial features were pulled and deformed, eventually forming a hideous triangular head.

The lips protruded outward, revealing sharp fangs, emitting a chilling light. The original eyes turned into two small eyes the size of green beans, flashing a cold and ferocious light.

The blue-gray scales covering its face looked particularly hideous because of their distortion, like an evil spirit from the abyss.

His arms also became unusually strong, with knotted muscles and bulging veins, as if they contained infinite power.

Just now, he used these strong arms to block Beibei's Thunder Dragon Claw, which shows how terrifying his strength is. (End of this chapter)
