Chapter 226 The Terrifying Lineup of the Spirit Hall Academy
It is easy to imagine how terrifying the Spirit Hall's strength would be if they mobilized all their forces.
Fortunately, there were Dugu Bo, Liu Erlong, and the Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the city, otherwise they really wouldn't have been able to control the situation.
Even so, Emperor Xueye was still uneasy, thinking of having Ning Fengzhi summon Bone Douluo to support him. In this way, with Ning Fengzhi, the number one support-type soul master in the world, they could stand on equal footing with the five titled Douluos of the Spirit Hall.
As a result, Ning Fengzhi refused, citing Bone Douluo's need to stay and guard the sect. However, he still transferred several Soul Douluos from the sect and also informed Emperor Xueye.
If anything unexpected happens, Tang Hao will intervene secretly.
Emperor Xueye finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Qinghe was completely unaware of this.
He simply devoted himself entirely to cultivation.
Through persistent and dedicated training, including the month of the preliminary rounds, the month of rest in between, the month of the qualifying rounds, and the month of waiting, the strength of the Royal Fighters has improved once again after four months.
Ye Lengleng reached level 50 and broke through to Soul King the day before the start of the promotion tournament, as has already been mentioned.
Shortly after the qualifying rounds ended, Ye Qinghe also advanced to level one, reaching level fifty-seven.
Then there's Dugu Yan, who reached level 59.
After the promotion competition, Zhu Zhuqing also broke through the fifty-level mark, reaching level fifty-two after absorbing her fifth spirit ring beyond her age limit.
Finally, after five or six months of acquiring their spirit rings, the Shi brothers, Yu Feng, and Oslo all increased their spirit power by one level, reaching level 43, 43, 42, and 42 respectively.
With this, the Royal Fighting Team achieved a terrifying lineup of four Soul Kings and four Soul Masters.
After the Spirit Hall Academy's guaranteed admission team and the Star Luo Empire's qualifying team arrived, the Heaven Dou Royal Family, as the organizer, granted them three days of rest and adjustment time.
During these three days, the Heaven Dou Royal Family specially set up a venue in the Heaven Dou Royal Palace for the finals of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
This venue is located in the center of the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace. The huge arena is over 100 meters in diameter and is entirely constructed of granite.
It is said that in order not to be outdone by the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Royal Family of the previous two competitions, the Heaven Dou Royal Family went to great lengths to purchase a large number of soul tools to reinforce the arena, so that it would be strong enough to withstand any attack from a Soul Emperor or below without breaking.
Directly in front of this arena is the Heavenly Dou Court, where the Emperor would gather his civil and military officials every snowy night for court sessions.
It's only 500 meters from here to the Heavenly Dou Palace.
To highlight the special nature of this competition, the Heavenly Dou Royal Family posted a notice announcing that the final three finalists would compete in front of the Heavenly Dou Palace.
At that time, Emperor Xueye will personally appear and crown the final champion.
Upon learning this, Ye Qinghe rolled his eyes inwardly, because it was a complete copy of the finals held by the Spirit Hall in the original work, and it gave people a feeling of being neither fish nor fowl.
I wonder if the Heaven Dou Royal Family will prepare soul bones as a champion reward, just like the Spirit Hall did in the original story.
Early in the morning, all the participating academy teams arrived at the competition venue under the guidance of the Spirit Hall's personnel.
Each college has its own dedicated rest area.
The rest area was built around the competition venue. On the opposite side of the Heaven Dou Hall was the VIP judging panel, where representatives of the two great empires and the Spirit Hall watched the battle.
The competition rules are also very simple: including the two guaranteed admission teams, Spirit Hall Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy, as well as the Royal Fighting Team, which gave up its guaranteed admission but advanced based on its own strength, a total of 33 teams will compete in the elimination rounds.
The first round consists of sixteen matches, with teams receiving a bye automatically advancing.
The second round consists of eight matches, with teams receiving a bye automatically advancing.
And so on.
The fourth round consists of two matches. The two winning teams and the team that received a bye will be the top three teams to enter the final competition, which will be held in the Heavenly Battle Hall.
In the fifth round, these three teams will compete in head-to-head matches, and the final winners will be the champions of this Soul Master Tournament.
As soon as we arrived, before we had even settled in, staff notified the team leader to come and draw lots.
As a titled Douluo, Dugu Bo naturally couldn't do this himself. Therefore, the three members of the teaching committee of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy specially arranged for Sun Buyu to run the errand.
A short while later, Sun Buyu returned. He first bowed respectfully to Dugu Bo and Liu Erlong, who had come with the Royal Fighting Team, and then smiled at the Royal Fighting Team members, saying, "This time, your opponent is the Beast Academy."
Everyone nodded, their faces calm. They had seen it all in the qualifying rounds a month ago. Apart from Meng Yiran, who had some strength, the others were not that great. Even Meng Yiran was only a Soul Venerable, not a Soul Master.
Ye Qinghe casually asked, "What about Shrek Academy?"
Sun Buyu said, "It's Blazing Fire Academy, but Blazing Fire Academy has already forfeited."
Ye Qinghe nodded. It seemed that Blazing Fire Academy, just like in the original story, had already merged with Divine Wind Academy.
Emperor Xueye would probably be pleased to see this happen.
The subsequent matches directly confirmed his prediction.
After the first round of the competition began, the lineup of Shenfeng Academy changed, with four new members: Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and the two support-type soul masters with Mars martial souls. Their soul power had already broken through to level 40 before the start of the promotion competition.
Seeing this, the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall Academy didn't seem to mind, since they didn't recognize the Divine Wind Academy and the Blazing Fire Academy. However, the Heaven Dou Empire's participating team was in an uproar.
However, no participating team protested from beginning to end. After all, they belonged to the Heaven Dou Empire and were relatively united when facing the Star Luo Empire.
Besides, even if we protest, it won't make a difference.
Blazing Fire Academy and Divine Wind Academy's actions don't constitute a violation of the competition rules; at most, they're just exploiting loopholes.
Ye Qinghe glanced at it casually and then lost interest.
He took Bibi Dong's hand and turned his gaze to the rest area of the Spirit Hall Academy.
This perception immediately revealed the immense power of the Spirit Hall Academy.
One Soul Saint, three Soul Emperors, and four Soul Kings.
Leaving aside the four Soul Kings, among the three Soul Emperors, the leader was a young man with red eyes, short silver hair, pale skin, an exceptionally handsome face, a strand of hair that gradually turned red at the ends, and red butterfly patterns at the corners of his eyes.
On either side of the youth stood a man and a woman. The man had short, fiery red hair, his body covered in magma patterns, and even his eyes were dark red. If it were someone else, their appearance would definitely be unappealing, but on this person, it was just right, giving him a special aura.
The only woman among the three had short orange-gold hair and looked somewhat similar to the handsome silver-haired man in front of her. She wore fox ear hair ornaments and simply stood there, exuding a seductive charm that gave off a very alluring vibe.
Yet, this very woman paled in comparison to that Soul Saint.
