Huo Yuhao had already practiced integrating spiritual power and soul power.

Before returning to Sun-Moon, his final journey led him to the Extreme North. After parting ways with Su Yu, he ventured alone into the frozen lands. Under the guidance of the Ice Empress, he found the Snow Empress and followed her to learn the Three Absolute Techniques.

Although he hadn't fully mastered them, he had at least gained some understanding.

At this moment, as he observed Bei Bei's Dragon Emperor's Domain, and recalled the earlier display of Dragon Emperor's Holy Rupture, Huo Yuhao continuously simulated the fusion of spiritual power and soul power in his mind, gradually digesting his insights.

On the other side, Su Yu directly utilized Bei Bei's technique to complete the mental model he had been constructing for the integration of spiritual power and soul power.

"Hmm, the fusion of spiritual power and soul power isn't actually the ultimate form."

Su Yu could sense that this was only a partial fusion.

"At the very least, one more element must be added—vital energy."

According to Su Yu's theory, a martial soul is a manifestation of the fusion between a soul master's spirit and body, serving as a bridge between the two.

Thus, when integrating different power systems, it was inevitable that spiritual power, which represents the soul, and vital energy, which represents the body, must also fuse. And this fusion had to be facilitated through the soul power cultivated via martial souls.

"Essence, Qi, and Spirit—vital energy is the essence, soul power is the qi refined from external energy, and spiritual power is the spirit."

The current fusion of spiritual power and soul power was merely the integration of two out of the three forces. The final step required the incorporation of vital energy.

"But this shouldn't be too difficult. Since the synergy between spiritual power and soul power has already been discovered, and the fusion has been successfully perceived, finding the connection between vital energy and soul power shouldn't be as challenging."

Su Yu did not rush to merge vital energy just yet.

Instead, he observed Bei Bei's Dragon Emperor's Domain, drawing parallels with his own domain abilities. As he merged his spiritual power and soul power, he began constructing an extremely delicate domain around himself—the Reincarnation Domain.

However, whether due to his incomplete understanding of reincarnation or the fact that he had yet to absorb a Reincarnation Spirit Ring, the structures he built collapsed one after another.

Despite his deep comprehension of spatial power, which allowed him to create a stable, space-like domain, what truly held him back was the inability to manifest the effect of reincarnation within the domain.

"No rush."

The foundation had already been laid—how far could true success be?

Bei Bei barely secured victory.

A four-man streak. Even as a Soul Emperor, with his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon evolving toward the Holy Radiant Dragon, taking down four opponents in a row during the individual competition had pushed him to his limits.

Experiencing this firsthand, Bei Bei felt no joy as he stepped off the stage. Instead, his heart grew heavy.

"The Sun Moon Royal Battle Team... there's a high chance that all seven of their main members are at least as strong as Shi Xing."

In other words, all seven of them might be as strong as he was!

No—not might be. They definitely were.

After all, Shi Xing's strength was something evident to anyone with keen eyes, including Tang Sect, Shrek Academy, and even ordinary spectators. His power came from battle armor.

While his combat awareness was decent, it was ultimately built upon the foundation of his battle armor.

Among the teams in Douluo's Three Nations Tournament, even their soul engineers possessed combat awareness and skills comparable to Shi Xing. However, the enhancements and amplifications provided by battle armor were simply too comprehensive.

And battle armor wasn't just a single set—it was a developed technology, customizable to suit each soul master's unique abilities.

The battle armor already revealed so far belonged to Xiao Ping, Shi Xing, and Zhou Xinghao, each tailored differently, with varying areas of specialization.

But without a doubt, every single one of them was capable of elevating a Soul King to Shi Xing's level.

Moreover, beyond those three, the remaining four members of the Sun Moon Royal Battle Team had even higher soul power levels. Even if their battle armor wasn't perfectly matched to their rank, they were still undeniably stronger than the trio.

With a heavy heart, Bei Bei stepped off the stage.

 "The second match, Team Battle!"

"Both sides will have five minutes of rest."

There was always a short break between different match formats to allow the participants time to recover.

On the Tang Sect side, the three competing members each held a Milk Bottle, swiftly replenishing their depleted soul power.

A reserve team member activated her martial soul—two yellow, two purple, and one black soul ring circled beneath her feet. In her hands, a staff radiating vitality emitted two beams of light, linking Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu together.

She had begun healing them even before Bei Bei left the stage. The moment he stepped down, her staff extended a third beam of light, connecting him as well.

Meanwhile, Ning Tian summoned her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.

"Seven treasures shine with glazed brilliance; the Seven Treasures hold great power. Third: Soul!"

Her third purple soul ring glowed, releasing a purple light that enveloped Bei Bei, accelerating his soul power recovery.

Ning Tian's third soul skill not only enhanced soul power but also boosted the rate of recovery.

Bei Bei was a core member of the team and would have to step back onto the battlefield for the team match. He needed to be restored to peak condition as soon as possible.

 "Both teams, send seven members forward for the team battle!"

The referee was punctual, allowing no extra time beyond the allocated break, immediately urging both sides onto the battlefield.

For Tang Sect, the official members were Bei Bei, Dai Huabin, and Zhu Lu, while the remaining four were competing as reserve team members.

"An entire team of Soul Kings… Shrek is really willing to invest."

It was obvious that Tang Sect's lineup consisted of talents handpicked from Shrek Academy. A single Shrek Academy was capable of assembling two full teams—twenty-eight elite competitors under the age of twenty, all at least Soul King rank. This alone spoke volumes about its foundation.

"It's not that they lack the ability to field an even stronger lineup, but rather, some things are just set in stone from the very beginning."

With that thought, the team battle began.

As the match unfolded, the abilities of Tang Sect's four reserve members were revealed one by one.

"All of them possess impressive martial souls. Aside from one variant martial soul, the other three seem more like powerful, inheritable martial souls, rather than unstable mutations."

This also implied that these three contestants likely came from prestigious soul master families, each backed by their own powerful forces.

During the team battle, Bei Bei once again unleashed the Dragon Emperor's Domain. Surprisingly, within this domain, he was even able to enhance the abilities of a Tang Sect teammate who possessed a dragon-type martial soul.

Naturally, Su Yu, Huo Yuhao, and the others took every opportunity to observe and learn as much as possible.

As long as they weren't stealing his cultivation techniques outright or secretly listening in while he was instructing someone, it couldn't be considered theft.

"If I openly learn it while you're using it, how is that stealing?"

After all, why did the Soul Dueling Tournament exist?

Wasn't it precisely a way for soul masters to exchange techniques?

If one move was powerful, others could extract its essence, incorporate it into their own system, and become even stronger.

That was the true purpose of the Soul Dueling Tournament.

It was never about mere life-or-death battles or so-called glory.

Yet, over time, the pursuit of personal interests had gradually corrupted the original spirit of the competition.

 The Battle Nears Its End

"Dragon Emperor's Holy Rupture!"

Bei Bei let out a thunderous roar, the dragon's cry resounding across the arena.

Inside the Dragon Emperor's Domain, the enormous phantom of the Holy Radiant Dragon moved in sync with Bei Bei's will, merging into his body.

At that moment, his spiritual power, soul power, soul rings, and soul skills fused into one.

With a flash of brilliance, Bei Bei unleashed four consecutive strikes.

During the individual match, the true power of Dragon Emperor's Holy Rupture had been difficult to display. But now, its full destructive force was finally revealed.

A devastating finishing move.

And more than that—a wide-area attack.

Each of his four strikes carried the perfect fusion of his spiritual power and soul power, amplified by the Dragon Emperor's Domain, with his bloodline power interwoven within.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
