Promotion Match Ends, Setting Out
After the match ended, everyone present couldn't help but exclaim in excitement, whispering among themselves and discussing the highlights of the battle between the two.
This battle also made students from other academies realize the gap between themselves and Dai Mubai and Feng Xiaotian.
Judging from the aftershocks of the recent battle, it's clear that in a one-on-one fight, these two are undoubtedly the strongest.
Even against Soul Grandmaster at the Soul Emperor level, the two standing on the competition stage right now might be able to put up a fight.
At this moment, a sense of powerlessness arose in the hearts of the teachers and students of the other academies, because Dai Mubai Feng Xiaotian's performance was too terrifying.
Aside from the reactions of the other academies, Xue Ye in the VIP section was beaming with joy. What did it mean that so many geniuses had emerged from within the Heaven Dou Empire? It meant that he, the emperor, was shining with pride, since they would soon be stepping out of the empire and competing with young Soul Master from across the entire continent.
Ning Fengzhi also had a smile on his face at this moment. Seeing so many outstanding Soul Master emerging was something he, as a senior in the Spirit Master World, was happy to see.
The only person with a gloomy expression was Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall. At this moment Salas stared at Dai Mubai Feng Xiaotian in the arena with a dark expression, and no one knew what he was thinking.
With the battle between Shrek Academy Team and Godwind Academy coming to an end, the Promotion Match have also come to a close. The remaining teams have each determined their victories and defeats, and the Promotion Match have thus come to a successful conclusion.
The Promotion Match lasted a total of fourteen days, with each team playing fourteen matches. Shrek Academy Team was the only academy to win all fourteen matches in the Promotion Match, once again setting a new record for the longest Promotion Match.
After the competition ended, Xue Ye delivered another round of inspiring encouragement and motivation, while also announcing the successful conclusion of the Promotion Match and awarding separate prizes to the top three Promotion Match.
The top three are Feng Xiaotian, Tai Long, and Huo Wu, whose individual win counts are the highest among all fifteen teams.
The reason it's these three is mainly because they participated the most in individual competitions and won the most.
Tai Long achieved such results with his strength as a newly promoted Soul Ancestor, not only because he was already quite strong, but also because Dai Mubai and the others barely made a move.
Just like Tang San, he didn't play a single match in the Promotion Match, but for some reason, even though Tang San didn't play in the Promotion Match, he was still the focus of attention when Platinum Bishop Salas looked at the Shrek Academy.
Oscar also noticed something was wrong, but he didn't know why. His only guess was that it was because of the attention brought by Ao Yue's clone.
After all, Hu Liena and the others knew that Ao Yue's younger brother was Oscar. Perhaps... the Spirit Hall was also secretly plotting to deal with him, one of the only two heirs of the Sword Sect?
With the Promotion Match over, the Grand Finals are about to begin, and that will be the real battle to determine who is the strongest academy on the continent.
This time, the teams only had three days to adjust. After three days, a total of fifteen teams, along with their teachers and five hundred Royal Knights soldiers, a group of over a thousand people, set off for the Grand Finals venue – Spirit City.
However, as an emperor, Xue Ye could not leave Heaven Dou City without permission.
Therefore, after the Promotion Match, Xue Ye announced that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe would represent him as the envoy of the Heaven Dou Empire to participate in the judging of this competition.
The fifteen teams from the Heaven Dou Empire will be personally accompanied by Xue Qinghe to Spirit City, where the Spirit Hall will host the final Grand Finals.
Spirit City is located at the border of Two Great Empires, neither of Two Great Empires has ownership of it. Most importantly, the Pope's Palace, one of the two most prestigious halls of the Spirit Hall, is located in Spirit City.
This newly built Pope's Palace is hailed as one of the most magnificent buildings in the entire Douluo Continent. It is precisely because of this newly built Pope's Palace that Spirit City has become a holy land for all Soul Master and a place that Spirit Hall has established for itself, much like a capital city.
The journey from Heaven Dou City to Spirit City takes about twenty days. The Grand Finals are not very long because they are all knockout matches, with each team having only one chance. The winner takes all and the loser is condemned.
Therefore, with the fifteen teams from the Two Great Empires plus three seeded teams, a total of thirty-three teams, the outcome can be decided in less than ten days.
It can be said that these twenty days on the road are their last chance to get a proper rest.
Therefore, in order to allow the participating team members to rest better, the Heaven Dou Empire specially commissioned dozens of luxurious giant carriages for the participating team members to ride and rest.
These carriages even utilize some basic Soul Tool technology, providing excellent shock absorption and a very stable ride.
Of course, these are the most basic Soul Tool technologies that have been passed down throughout the entire Douluo Continent.
The Spirit Hall attached great importance to this Grand Finals. During the Promotion Match, Spirit City had already set aside a special place as the venue for the Grand Finals of this year's All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament.
At the same time, Spirit City issued a decree that during the start of the competition, no one other than Soul Master was allowed to enter and watch the matches, not even nobles. This added to the mystery of the final Grand Finals.
Moreover, ordinary people would not feel dissatisfied with laws like those of the Spirit Hall, since Soul Master are a high and mighty existence for ordinary people.
The Spirit Hall was their sacred temple and holy land. With decrees personally issued by His Holiness the Pope, who dared to say anything?
Not only will they not complain, but they will also have endless longing and imagination for the Soul Master Competition and the Spirit Hall.
The journey was peaceful, and ten days passed quickly. Half of the journey to Spirit City had already been completed.
Having a guard of five hundred Royal Knights was comparable to having royalty. Wherever they went, every city received them with the utmost hospitality, and they encountered no trouble along the way.
Today is the eleventh day of our journey.
Shrek Academy's carriage was positioned at the very center of the procession, as they were the top team in both the Promotion Match and the Preliminary Round.
Inside the carriage, everyone was quietly cultivating. Nearly three months had passed, and Dai Mubai and the others had made breakthroughs in their Soul Power.
In particular, Tang San, Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Jiang Zhu, who had experienced intense battles, had each broken through to the first level of Soul Power three days ago.
Dai Mubai is also not far from breaking through to level 56. Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong have been training hard during this period. Since they do not need to spend time fighting, they are only one step away from breaking through.
Oscar and Dugu Yan are two clones, and their Soul Power Level will not break through, so they are assisting everyone in their cultivation and providing them with help along the way.
At this moment, just as the Shrek Academy students Meditation Cultivation, a chilling aura suddenly emanated from not far away, directly approaching the entire academy team of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Their team mainly traveled on official roads, only taking shortcuts on secluded paths when possible, and this was precisely the time to take the longest shortcut.
Located between two low hills, it is said that passing through here can save dozens of miles of travel, and although the mountain path is narrow, it is flat enough for a horse-drawn carriage to pass through without any problem.
The chilly atmosphere emanated from the mountains on both sides of the path, and it wasn't just Oscar and his group who felt it.
At this moment, the captain of the Royal Knights shouted, "Everyone, be on alert!"
Without hesitation, the Royal Knights guarding the Soul Master immediately raised their lances.
Unlike the Royal Knights, the participants from the Soul Master Academy looked relaxed and carefree. With so many talented Soul Master here, what did they have to worry about? Although these students were far fewer in number than the Royal Knights, their strength was completely disproportionate in a real fight.
Moreover, among the teachers leading the teams from each academy are many strong individuals, with at least twenty Soul Power Soul Master at level sixty or seventy or above. Such a team is more than capable of facing a large army of over ten thousand people.
Just then, countless rocks began to fall like raindrops from the hills on both sides. These rocks not only appeared abruptly, but were also very orderly, rushing downwards at high speed.
The terrain was very unfavorable for the entire team, so the captain of the Royal Knights quickly gave the order to speed up the advance, and the falling rocks were handed over to the five hundred members of the Royal Knights.
This is where the overall quality of the Royal Knights was revealed. Although not all of them were Soul Master, their overall strength was formidable.
The hills on either side weren't very high, which meant the force of the falling rocks wasn't insurmountable. The knights of the Royal Knights took a few steps back, leaving only a narrow passage in the center, and raised their lances to meet the falling rocks.
As the spears moved and stones fell, they used their spears to constantly deflect the falling stones to the side. The spears of the five hundred warriors formed an iron defense line. In such unfavorable terrain, they did not allow a single stone to pass in front of them for a short period of time.
Seeing this, some Soul Master students who previously looked down on ordinary people felt a greater sense of admiration.
Led by their instructors, the fifteen Soul Master Academy moved swiftly towards the edge of the hill. To increase their speed, they abandoned their carriages and all the students dismounted and hurried along. Once they were out of the unfavorable terrain, there was nothing to fear.
Everyone is now eager to know who these people are who dared to attack even the Royal Knights. This is the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire! Could they really be bandits? What bandit would dare to target such a terrifying force? Don't they have eyes? PS: Please vote for me!
