Tournament Rules
"I just received news that the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament will be held in three days, at the original Heaven Dou Grand Spirit Arena." Looking at everyone, Lu Yuan's calm voice rang out.
"Is the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament finally coming? Hehe, I've been waiting impatiently for it." Ling Wei's voice rang out as soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking.
"Indeed, it's finally here. We've been waiting for this day for a long time." Fu Qinsheng immediately agreed after hearing Ling Wei's words.
Not only him, but even Wang Qiu'er, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, upon hearing the news, had strange glints in their eyes, each eager to try it out.
After three months of training, their skills have improved significantly, and they are all eager to perform well in the competition.
"Hehe, it seems everyone is full of confidence." Looking at everyone's expressions, Lu Yuan smiled faintly. Indeed, this kind of confidence is something an excellent team must possess.
"Of course, with your training over the past three months, Captain, we have already undergone a transformation. In this competition, our academy will definitely win everyone's attention." Hearing this, Dugu Yan said softly, her tone filled with determination.
Their current strength is not weak. Apart from Lu Yuan, the captain who is level 58, the vice-captain Zhu Zhuqing is already level 52.
Among the remaining people, Wang Qiu'er was level 47, Dugu Yan was level 47, Ning Rongrong, who had taken the Spirit Enhancement Pill, had leveled up from level 42 to level 45, and Fu Qinsheng and Ling Wei, who were in the same situation as Ning Rongrong, had also reached level 45 and level 44 respectively.
Putting everything else aside, just the five of them, plus Jing Ling and Jiang Zhu, make up five Soul Ancestor and two Soul Elders. Their strength is enough to dominate the Heaven Dou Division.
Even if Lu Yuan and Zhu Zhuqing don't participate, they can still thrive.
Looking at the current team, Dugu Yan couldn't help but sigh. The current Heavenly Star Squad is much stronger than the original Heaven Dou Team. Every member of the team is a prodigy.
Her talent is only considered to be in the lower middle range in the team. Lu Yuan, Zhu Zhuqing, Wang Qiu'er and Ning Rongrong are all more talented than her.
She sighed inwardly, realizing that joining Heavenly Star Academy was indeed the right choice.
Hearing Dugu Yan's words, Lu Yuan smiled slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. Their current team composition was definitely a luxurious lineup, and winning the attention of the entire audience would not be a problem.
"I'm very happy to see everyone so confident. Next, I'd like to talk to you about some of the rules of this competition. Please listen carefully."
Looking at everyone, Lu Yuan spoke softly, "This competition is divided into three rounds: preliminary rounds, qualifying rounds, and the finals."
"The qualifiers will be conducted in a team battle format, using a single round-robin system. The teams with the highest winning points in each region will advance to the knockout stage."
"Once you enter the qualifying rounds, the format of the competition will change. If the qualifiers test team strength, then the qualifying rounds are a stage to showcase individual strength."
"The qualifying rounds will still consist of each side sending out seven participants, who will then face off one by one. The winners will remain on the field, while the losing side will send out more participants to challenge, until all of one side's participants have been defeated, at which point the competition will end."
"The top fifteen colleges in the qualifying rounds will have the opportunity to participate in the finals, while the top few in the qualifying rounds will receive a bye in the first round of the finals. This is one of the advantages of being ranked high."
"There are a total of 33 teams participating in the finals, 15 academy teams from each of the two great empires, plus three student teams that were guaranteed a spot in the finals: the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy Team, the Star Luo Royal Academy Team, and the Spirit Hall Academy Team."
"The format of the finals is the same as the qualifiers, with team battles at the beginning. After each round, the top two teams will receive a bye. After reaching the top six, they will compete against each other to determine the top three teams. The final three-team competition will be a combination of individual elimination matches and team matches."
"The winners of the individual elimination rounds will directly advance to the final. The remaining two teams will compete in a team match to determine the other team to participate in the final. The team that wins the individual elimination rounds will then compete in the final team battle. The winner of this battle will be the champion of this Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament."
"These are the competition rules for this Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament. Do you understand?" Lu Yuan asked softly.
"I don't quite understand, it just seems a bit complicated," Ling Wei said, scratching his head.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, we just need to remember to keep winning," Fu Qinsheng said softly.
"Qin Sheng is right. No matter what the competition rules are, we just need to keep winning. We can't afford to lose a single match. That's my only requirement for you. Do you have confidence?" Lu Yuan asked calmly as he looked around at everyone.
"Captain, will you take action?" After hearing Lu Yuan's words, everyone looked at each other for a moment, and then their gazes turned to Lu Yuan.
In response to Fu Qinsheng's question, Lu Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Of course. If we encounter some strong teams, I will definitely step in. However, in the qualifiers, those weaker teams will be left to you. Unless there are special circumstances, Zhu Qing and I will not play. It's all up to you."
"This is also to give you a chance to show your skills. After all, once I step onto the field, the battle is basically over, and you won't be able to enjoy the thrill of the competition."
"I don't think you'd be happy just to see me take down one kid with one punch."
"No way!" Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads. If Lu Yuan really had to play in every game, then they would really have no room to perform. No one knew better than them how strong their captain was.
"Alright, it's settled then. Unless there are special circumstances, Zhu Qing and I won't be playing in the preliminaries. Qin Sheng, you're a mind control type Soul Master and you're quite steady, so you'll be in charge of the team. That's all I ask for, just win big for me." Lu Yuan said softly.
"Yes, Captain!" Fu Qinsheng nodded and said.
"That's enough for now. The competition is in three days, so the team training ends here. Everyone should rest well for these three days and try to get a good start for us, so they can see the strength of the Heavenly Star Academy."
"Yes!" came the unified voice.
"Well, that's fine. There's nothing else to say. Everyone, go back now." With a slight smile, Lu Yuan waved his hand gently.
Without further ado, here are seven chapters to start. There will be two more chapters around 5 PM. I said I'd update nine chapters, so I'll update nine chapters! Hehe, please support me!
