Chapter 550: Conspiracy and Breakthrough on the Eve of the Finals

As the competition progressed, Chu Tian and his team won all the way and were only one step away from the finals of the Soul Master Competition. Their fame in the Soul Master City was at its peak, and people were talking about their heroic deeds in the streets and alleys and in various pubs and inns.

However, behind this seeming glory, there is an undercurrent of conspiracy.

One night, Chu Tian and others were resting in the dormitory, preparing for the next crucial game. Suddenly, Qin Feng felt a strange fluctuation of soul power. He sat up alertly and woke up the others.

"I feel something is wrong, as if someone is spying around." Qin Feng said in a low voice.

Everyone immediately became nervous and released their soul power, observing their surroundings vigilantly.

At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared on the window. The shadow flashed by, and Chu Tian couldn't help but chase it out. "You wait here, I'll go take a look!" he shouted.

Chu Tian chased the shadow into a remote alley. The shadow stopped and turned around. Chu Tian could see clearly that it was a mysterious man with his face covered.

"Who are you? Why are you snooping around our dormitory?" Chu Tian asked.

The mysterious man sneered: "You guys, do you think you can successfully enter the finals? You are too naive."

Chu Tian frowned: "What do you mean by this? Is there any conspiracy?"

The mysterious man did not answer his question, but suddenly launched an attack. He waved his hands, and a black soul blade shot towards Chu Tian. Chu Tian quickly dodged sideways, secretly surprised in his heart, the strength of this mysterious man should not be underestimated.

Just when Chu Tian was about to fight back, the mysterious man suddenly disappeared. Chu Tian looked around but could not find any trace of the mysterious man.

"This guy runs really fast." Chu Tian muttered and returned to the dormitory.

He told everyone what had just happened, and everyone thought it was very strange.

Ye Li said worriedly: "It seems that someone doesn't want us to enter the finals. We have to be careful."

Qin Feng nodded: "From now on, we must strengthen our precautions and not act alone."

The next day, Chu Tian and his team encountered trouble again during training. They found that the training ground had been tampered with, and there were hidden soul traps everywhere. If they were accidentally triggered, they might be seriously injured.

Zhang Meng said angrily: "It must be the work of that mysterious man yesterday. He wants us to get hurt and be unable to participate in the competition."

Qin Feng said calmly: "Don't panic, let's find these traps and clear them out first."

Everyone began to carefully look for traps. Chu Tian observed from the air and found that some traps were hidden in tiny cracks on the ground and could not be found without careful observation.

Ye Li let the frost fox release cold air, which spread to the ground. Because of the temperature change, some tiny water vapor condensed in the places where the traps were hidden. This made it easier for them to find the traps.

After some efforts, they finally cleared all the traps. But this incident made them realize that the opponent's conspiracy methods are increasing, and they must improve their strength as soon as possible to cope with the next challenge.

In this tense atmosphere, Chu Tian and others decided to go into seclusion for training, striving to make a qualitative leap in their strength before the finals.

They found a remote cave, set up many defenses at the entrance, and then began to practice with full concentration.

Chu Tian sat cross-legged in the air, trying to better integrate his flying skills with his newly acquired soul power. He closed his eyes, feeling the flow of soul power in his body, imagining himself soaring freely in the air like a falcon while releasing powerful attacks.

As he practiced, a blue light began to flicker around his body, which became stronger and stronger, and finally formed a pair of huge soul wings. This pair of wings was more solid than before and looked full of power.

Zhang Meng and the giant rock bear practiced their "Giant Rock Crack" skill together. He wanted to make this skill more powerful and wider. He and the giant rock bear communicated with each other and injected soul power into the ground together. The ground began to shake violently, and cracks continued to extend, and the depth and width of the cracks increased a lot compared to before.

Ye Li sat next to the Frost Fox, and together they practiced a new cold air skill. She combined her soul power with the Frost Fox's power, and then released a white cold air. This cold air was no longer a simple freezing, but could form ice spikes, which also carried soul power that could paralyze the enemy.

Qin Feng was also practicing alone in a corner of the cave. He held the Dragon Shadow Sword and swung it continuously, with complex runes flashing on the sword. He was trying to inject new soul power into the Dragon Shadow Sword so that it could release more powerful sword skills. As he practiced, the Dragon Shadow Sword emitted a crisp sword sound, as if responding to his efforts.

Although Xiaohua was young, she didn't want to fall behind. She took Xiaobai to practice silently. She tried to establish a deeper soul connection with Xiaobai so that Xiaobai could exert more powerful abilities. Xiaobai's body began to flash with strange light, its speed became faster, and it could instantly release a soul barrier to protect Xiaohua.

After several days and nights of closed-door training, Chu Tian and the others' strengths had improved significantly. When they came out of the cave, they exuded a powerful aura.

At this time, the finals of the Soul Master Competition is about to come.

The opponent in the finals was a very strong team. They were the runner-ups of the last Soul Master Competition and had been eager to win the championship this time. The members of this team were all elites in the Soul Master world, and their soul beasts were carefully selected and trained.

Chu Tian and others made full preparations before the game. They analyzed the opponent's information and formulated detailed tactics.

"Their captain is a very strong controlling soul master. We must first find a way to restrict his actions." Qin Feng said.

Zhang Meng nodded: "The Giant Rock Bear and I can attract their firepower in front, and then Chu Tian will launch a surprise attack from the air."

Ye Li added: "I will use the Frost Fox's cold energy to disrupt their formation and prevent them from playing to their team's strengths."

Xiaohua also mustered up the courage to say, "I will be there to cheer you on, and I will also be careful to protect myself. If there is a chance, I will also ask Xiaobai to help."

Everyone smiled at each other. They were full of confidence and ready to face the challenge of the final.

On the day of the finals, the Soul Master City stadium was packed with people. The audience arrived early to witness this wonderful match.

Chu Tian and his team and their opponents stood on both sides of the arena. Both sides' eyes were full of fighting spirit, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere.

The referee stood in the middle of the arena and announced loudly: "The Soul Master Competition Finals begins now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the captain of the other team took the lead in launching an attack. He waved his hands, and a huge soul net was cast towards Chu Tian and others. This soul net looked very strong, and if you were caught in it, it would be difficult to break free.

Zhang Meng immediately ordered the giant rock bear to rush towards the soul power net, and the giant rock bear used its huge bear paw to slap the soul power net fiercely. However, the soul power net only shook slightly and was not broken.

Seeing this, Ye Li let the Frost Fox release cold air. The cold air attached to the soul power net, making it fragile.

Chu Tian took the opportunity to fly into the air. He concentrated all his soul power and fired a powerful soul blade at the soul net. After the soul blade hit the soul net, it finally tore a big hole in it.

The other team members did not panic when they saw that their attack was broken. They quickly adjusted their formation and launched a second round of attack.

One of their soul masters summoned a huge flaming phoenix, which flew towards Chu Tian and the others. Wherever the flaming phoenix went, there was a sea of ​​fire.

Qin Feng held the Dragon Shadow Sword and rushed towards the Flame Phoenix. His sword was burning with blue flames, which was a new ability he gained during his retreat. He used his sword to fight a fierce battle with the Flame Phoenix in the air.

Zhang Meng and Ye Li took the opportunity to attack the other team members from both sides. Zhang Meng's giant rock bear kept attacking the enemy with its bear paws, and Ye Li's frost fox released ice spikes and shot at the other team members.

Chu Tian was observing the situation in the air, and he found a weakness in the opponent's team. There was an auxiliary spirit master in their back row. If they could defeat this auxiliary spirit master first, the opponent's overall strength would be greatly reduced.

So, Chu Tian ignored the threat of the Flame Phoenix and flew towards the opponent's back row. After the opponent's players discovered Chu Tian's intention, they came to stop him. However, Chu Tian broke through the enemy's defense line with his superb flying skills and powerful soul power.

He flew in front of the auxiliary soul master and activated his strongest soul skill. A huge blue soul power storm swept towards the auxiliary soul master. The auxiliary soul master wanted to dodge in fear, but it was too late. He was hit by the soul power storm and fell directly to the ground.

The opponent's team's strength obviously declined due to the loss of the auxiliary spirit master. They began to panic and their attacks became less orderly.

Seeing this, Qin Feng increased his attack on the Flame Phoenix. He stabbed the Flame Phoenix in the throat with a sword, and the Flame Phoenix let out a mournful cry and then disappeared.

Zhang Meng and Ye Li also took advantage of the victory and led the Giant Rock Bear and Frost Fox to launch a final general attack on the opponent's team.

After a fierce battle, Chu Tian and others finally won the championship of the Soul Master Competition.

The audience cheered in the stands, they were happy for Chu Tian and others' victory. Chu Tian and others hugged each other excitedly, their hard work and dedication finally paid off.

Xiaohua jumped for joy. She was proud of her friends.

However, just as they were immersed in the joy of victory, the mysterious man appeared again. He stood in a corner of the stadium, looking coldly at Chu Tian and others, his eyes full of resentment.

"Don't be too happy too soon, this is just the beginning." After the mysterious man said this, he disappeared into the crowd.

Chu Tian and others looked at the direction where the mysterious man disappeared, full of doubts. They knew that although they had won the Soul Master Competition, their adventure was far from over, and there were more challenges waiting for them in the future.

However, at this moment, they decided to enjoy this hard-earned victory first, and then face the unknown future. They left the stadium with the glory of the championship and the cheers of the audience.
