Heavenly Geniuses Gather, Final Eight

The first three rounds of the Grand Finals determined the top thirteen teams. In the fourth round, the top three teams from the Promotion Match rounds— the Spirit Hall Royal Academy, Shrek Royal Academy, and Sword Sect— received a bye.

The remaining ten teams will be drawn into a knockout stage.

Those who remain today are all extremely powerful Soul Master teams. There are no Soul Elder among their main members; Soul Ancestor are the main force, and there are many super geniuses at the level of Spirit King and Soul Emperor.

Ten teams will play five matches, spread over three days. The first two days will have one match each in the morning and afternoon, with the final match on the morning of the third day.

After the top five teams are determined, plus the three teams that receive a bye, there will be eight teams remaining. After the top eight, there will be no more byes until a champion is determined.

The day before the fourth round begins, the captain of each team will draw lots to let them know their opponents in advance and make a battle plan!

The order of each match is also determined by drawing lots. Ten teams are drawn to their corresponding opponents, and the five final teams are drawn again over the next two and a half days to determine their order of appearance.

The first match was between the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Team and the Star Crown Sect Team. The second match was between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Team Clear Sky Sect Team Wind God Valley Team Tang Sect Team. The third match was between the Clear Sky Clan and the Tang Sect Clan. The fourth match was between the Angel Sanctuary Academy Clan and the Thunderclap Academy Team. The fifth match was between the Divine Fire Gate and the Star Luo Academy.

The Star Luo Academy was formerly the Star Luo Royal Academy. Now that the Star Luo Empire no longer exists, the word "Royal" has naturally been removed.

The former Star Luo Emperor Dai Yutian, is now the Dean of the Star Luo Academy, and has been granted the title of Star Luo Duke by the Eternal Great Emperor, which is hereditary.

In the opening of the fourth round of the Grand Finals, the first player to appear in the morning was Yu Zhantian, the captain of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Team. His martial Martial Soul was Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and he was a level 55 Assault System Attack Spirit King, 24 years old.

Vice Captain Yu Zhanti, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Level 54 Assault System Attack Spirit King.

Team member Yu Zhanren, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Level 54 Assault System Attack Spirit King.

These three brothers are full siblings, the next generation of prodigies of the sect after the once-promising twin stars Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin.

If we only consider the same period, the three brothers' strength surpasses that of their two twin brothers.

However, with the rapid development of the mainland and the improvement of the Soul Master system, various resources are flowing in, and the two brothers Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin are no longer what they used to be.

Yu Tianheng is now the Young Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and he is destined to succeed Yu Yuanzhen as the sect master.

The remaining four members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were all Soul Ancestor level, and all of them possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. The combined strength of the seven of them was incredibly terrifying.

The Star Crown Sect is far inferior to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, with only two Spirit King experts.

After all, the Star Crown Sect was not long established, and unlike the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it had long cooperated with the Sword Sect and obtained so many resources.

Therefore, the outcome of this first battle was almost a foregone conclusion. Even though the Star Crown Martial Soul possessed powerful attribute isolation capabilities, it still couldn't withstand the explosive lightning.

Coupled with the mismatch between top-tier combatants, in the first match of the fourth round of the Grand Finals, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan took the lead and advanced to the fifth round.

In the second match of the afternoon, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Team faced off against the Wind God Valley Team. The two teams were evenly matched.

Gu Feng, captain of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, is the grandson of Gu Rong, the sect's guardian elder. He is 25 years old and at level 56. His Martial Soul is the Bone Dragon.

Vice Captain Ning Yaqi, Martial Soul: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Level 49 Support Spirit Master.

Team member Wang Tianba, Martial Soul: Demon Slaying Saber, Level 54 Assault System.

Team member Yang Tianshuang, Martial Soul: Starfall Sword, Level 53 Assault System.

Yang Tianshuang is one of the two guardian deities of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a disciple of Chen Xin, and has barely received some true teachings, making him exceptionally strong.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has three Spirit Kings, one Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Ancestor support, and three Soul Ancestor level team members.

Furthermore, Ning Yaqi was equipped with some basic Soul Tool, which gave her some ability to protect herself.

With the aid of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the already formidable Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect exudes an even more imposing aura.

The strength of Wind God Valley and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is roughly equal. Although they are Hermit Sect, they possess Divine Inheritance. Although the disciples of the participating sects did not receive much help from the royal family, they are still quite good.

Wind God Valley Captain Feng Yulong is Feng Qinglong's younger brother. He is 25 years old, level 54, and his Martial Soul is Wind Spirit Dragon.

Vice Captain Yun Xiang is Yun Yi's younger sister. Her Martial Soul Demon Extraction Bird, a level 52 Agile Attack System.

Team member Li Hai, Martial Soul: Hurricane Mantis, Level 51 Agile Attack System.

In addition, the team consisting of the remaining four Soul Ancestor is also a force to be reckoned with.

The battle between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Wind God Valley was relatively evenly matched, making it more interesting than the first match.

Like his brother Feng Qinglong, Feng Yulong's Fifth Spirit Ability transforms him into a wisp of breeze that is difficult to catch. Yun Xiang's Demon Extraction Bird is unparalleled in speed and has terrifying attack power, causing injury upon contact.

With the combined strength of Li Hai and the four Soul Ancestor, their power was truly formidable.

However, Gu Feng has the true teachings of Gu Rong, Yang Tianshuang is taught by Chen Xin, and he also has Ning Yaqi's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to assist him. Moreover, this Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is not only for support now, but can also use basic Soul Tool for simple offense and defense, making it difficult for people to easily cut through the back row.

The two teams clashed fiercely, each displaying their impressive skills, and the fight was evenly matched.

In the end, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Team prevailed and won the second match.

Wind God Valley was extremely unwilling to accept this and vowed to get the factory back in the next competition.

In the third match, Clear Sky Sect faced off against the Tang Sect. These two teams were rivals, since Tang Sect was originally derived from the Strength Clan Strength Clan, which was once an affiliated sect of the Clear Sky Sect.

Now, in this National Advanced Spirit Master Douluo Competition, the Tang Sect, which has only been established for a few years, has actually made it all the way to Juer City and even encountered the Clear Sky Sect.

Although the Tang Sect has combined Hidden Weapon with Soul Tool and demonstrated considerable combat power, its overall strength is still far inferior to that of the Clear Sky Sect. Even though all members of the Tang Sect are Soul Ancestor, they are still no match for the strength of the Clear Sky Sect.

As the former leader of the Upper Three Sects, the Clear Sky Sect also has three Spirit Kings, and all seven main members are equipped with Clear Sky Hammer.

The Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, the Clear Sky Nine Ultimates, and even a simplified version of the Clear Sky Formation —how could the Tang Sect possibly handle them?

However, the Tang Sect disciples were also aware of the grudges between the Tang Sect and the Clear Sky Sect. Although they lost this battle, a grudge had been formed. They would definitely work hard in the future and strive to defeat the Clear Sky Sect in the next competition.

Nowadays, Soul Tool are developing rapidly, and with the Tang Sect having so many sophisticated Hidden Weapon that can be combined with Soul Tool, the development speed is incomparable to what it used to be.

Perhaps in the next competition, the Tang Sect will actually have a chance to redeem themselves.

However, to the people of the Clear Sky Sect, this Soul Tool was nothing more than a publicity stunt; they had never seen the Tang Sect take it seriously.

The Clear Sky Sect Team's opponents are the teams that have entered the top eight, and those are the truly top-tier teams.

After the match between the Clear Sky Sect and Tang Sect ended, the third match of the fourth round of the Grand Finals on the morning of the second day was between the Angel Sanctuary Academy and Thunderclap Academy.

Angel Sanctuary Academy is the former Spirit Hall Academy, and it was once the strongest academy besides the previous Shrek Academy.

Behind the Thunderclap Academy is still the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Thunderclap Academy recruits students with lightning attributes, who are considered to be unofficial members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

As long as the students are outstanding enough, they can directly enter the sect after graduation and have a bright future.

Ye Chongguang, the captain of the Angel Sanctuary Academy, is the grandson of the Angel Legion Commander. He is 25 years old and at level 56. His Martial Soul Twin-Winged Angel. He is very likely to break through to the Four-Winged Angel realm in the future and inherit the position of the Angel Legion Commander.

Vice Captain Jin Yu the grandson of Golden Crocodile Douluo, the Second Elder of the Angel Sanctuary's Worship Hall, and also Jin Chen's younger brother. His Martial Soul Golden Crocodile, a level 54 Assault System.

The team member Qiangu Zhenshan, the direct descendant of the Seventh Elder of the Angel Sanctuary's Worship Hall, the Demon Subduing Douluo, and a level 53 Assault System.

The remaining four team members are all Soul Ancestor level and have extraordinary backgrounds, basically being direct descendants of the Great Elder the Angel Sanctuary.

Thunderclap Academy is slightly inferior, with only two Spirit Kings.

Captain Yu Hongjue is the grandson of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Fourth Elder. His Martial Soul the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, a level 52 Assault System.

Vice-captain Reno, Martial Soul: Lightning Strike Spear, Level 51 Assault System.

The remaining five team members were all Soul Ancestor level experts. Although their strength was not bad, they were still a step behind the Angel Sanctuary Academy.

Thunderclap Academy lost, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Team inevitably set their sights on the Angel Sanctuary Academy team. Thunderclap Academy Team is like their younger brother. After all, it's their own younger brother who lost, and it wouldn't be right for the older brother not to get revenge.

Angel Sanctuary Academy advanced to the fifth round, and in the fifth match of the fourth round Divine Fire Gate Team faced off against the Star Luo Academy Team.

The two teams are roughly equal in strength. Although the Star Luo Imperial Family is gone, the Star Luo Duke is still alive. Moreover, due to Dai Mubai's relationship with the Eternal Great Emperor, the Star Luo Academy has received many benefits, so the students they have trained are naturally excellent.

The Divine Fire Gate has three Spirit Kings and four Soul Ancestor.

Captain Huo Wu, 23 years old, Martial Soul: Fire Shadow, Level 62 Control System.

Vice Captain Huo Wushuang, 25 years old, Martial Soul: Unicorn Fire Tyrant Dragon, Level 61 Assault System.

Team member Baili Pangpang is the cousin of Baili Chiyan and Baili Chiling. His Martial Soul is Crimson Flame Dragon, a level 54 Assault System.

Huo Wushuang and the siblings were members of the previous competition. Now they have both passed the Divine Test, and their strength is naturally different from before. The reason they chose to participate in the competition this time is to get back at the level they achieved five years ago.

Although the group of guys from five years ago are gone, and even that one is now the Eternal Great Emperor, it doesn't stop them from getting their revenge at the Shrek Royal Academy.

The Huo Wushuang Siblings are two of the few Soul Emperor, making them one of the people that every team least wants to encounter.

Fortunately, Star Luo Academy is not bad either. The captain, Dai Fenghu, is the grandson of the former Zhenbei General of the Star Luo Empire. He is 25 years old and his Martial Soul White Tiger, a level 55 Assault System.

Zhu Yanyu, 24 years old, Martial Soul: Hell Spirit Cat, Level 53 Agile Attack System.

Li Feng, Martial Soul Heavenly Machine Lock, Level 51 Control System.

In addition, there are four Soul Ancestor level experts. Furthermore, Dai Fenghu and Zhu Yanyu possess the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Hell White Tiger, which is enough to rival Soul Emperor expert.

Even though the Divine Fire Gate possessed two Soul Emperors, they still had a fighting chance. However, the disparity in strength was too great, and they ultimately suffered a regrettable defeat.

After the fourth round of the competition, including the three teams that received a bye, the remaining eight teams are: Spirit Empire Royal Academy Team, Shrek Royal Academy Team, Sword Sect Team, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Team, Clear Sky Sect Team, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School Team, Angel Sanctuary Academy Team, and Divine Fire Gate Team.

The teams that advance from the quarterfinals to the semifinals have three days to rest, and their opponents were determined by a draw before the rest period.

The first match of the first day of the fifth round was between the Spirit Empire Royal Academy Team and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Team.

The second match of the first day was between Shrek Royal Academy Team and Divine Fire Gate Team.

The first match on the second day was between the Sword Sect Team and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Team.

On the second day, the second match was between the Clear Sky Sect Team Battle Angel Sanctuary team.

Although this draw was still absolutely fair, the result makes one wonder.

For example, the Shrek Royal Academy Team and the Divine Fire Gate Team, since Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, the brother and sister duo, came specifically to defeat Shrek.

The Clear Sky Sect and the Angel Sanctuary have always been old rivals, and naturally, the younger generation also dislikes each other.

Among them, the Spirit Empire Royal Academy Team, the Shrek Royal Academy Team, and the Sword Sect Team are all composed of Spirit King level or above experts.

Main members of the Spirit Empire Royal Academy Team:

Captain Shui Bing'er, Martial Soul: Ice Phoenix, Level 62 Control System Spirit Emperor.

Vice Captain Ye Lingling, Martial Soul: Nine-Heart Begonia, Level 61 Support System Soul Emperor.

Team member Shui Yue'er, Martial Soul: Jade Dolphin, Level 53 Agile Attack System.

Team member Meng Ke'er, Martial Soul: Black Demon, Level 52 Control System.

Team member Meng Yiran, Martial Soul: Snake Blade, Level 51 Agile Attack System.

The team member Wisdom, Martial Soul is Azure Vine, a level 51 Control System.

Team member Bai Yu, Martial Soul: Star Furnace, Level 51 Defense System.

Shrek Royal Academy Team Main Member: Captain Tai Long, Martial Soul: Great Strength Gorilla, Level 55 Assault System.

Vice Captain: Yang Pojun, Martial Soul: Soul Breaking Spear, Level 53, Assault System.

Team member Niu Li, Martial Soul: Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros, Level 54 Defense System.

Team member Bai Chenxiang, Martial Soul: Pointed Tail Swift, Level 53 Agile Attack System.

Team member Jing Ling, Martial Soul: Skeleton, Level 53 Agile Attack System.

Team member Huang Yuan, Martial Soul: Yellow Wolf, Level 52 Assault System.

Team member Jiang Zhu, Martial Soul: Healing Scepter, Level 51 Support System.

Sword Sect Team Main Members:

Ao Bi'an, Martial Soul: Void Light Sword, Level 62 Assault System.

Ao Wujiu, Martial Soul: Wind Thunder Sword, Level 61 Agile Attack System.

Jin Bieli, Martial Soul: Adamant Sword, Level 55 Assault System.

Yan Haoming, Martial Soul: Fire Punishment Sword, Level 55 Assault System.

Shui Miaomiao, Martial Soul: Azure Water Sword, Level 55 Assault System.

Ding Yanfeng, Martial Soul: Earth Rend Sword, Level 55 Assault System.

Lin Yusen, Martial Soul: Green Wood Sword, Level 55, Assault System.

Among them, the main members of the Sword Sect were a group of young people carefully selected and trained by Oscar. Ao Bi'an and Ao Wujiu were his personal disciples, so they were given the surname Ao.

The other five were also disciples, and each of their swords possessed extremely rare elemental attributes. Oscar had put in a lot of effort to find this group of young people.

They were given the best resources and were given every possible means of training.

After all, the Guardian Sect is called the Sword Sect, so naturally they use swords.

In the future, these people will grow up to become the Black and White Sword Saints and Five Elements Sword Envoys of the Sword Sect.

Those who joined the Sword Sect, such as the Nine-Heart Begonia Clan, Dragon Snake Mountain Villa, and the third of the Four Single-Attribute Sects, who did not use swords as their Martial Soul, would gradually be assigned to the royal family for unified management.

The Sword Sect's Pill Refining Hall was separated to become the Imperial Pill Pavilion of the Empire. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well will also belong to the royal family in the future, separate from the Sword Sect.

Gai Yue will also succeed as the sect leader of the Sword Sect, gradually taking full control of the Sword Sect and gathering all the Sword Martial Soul Master in the world.

Apart from the Seven Kill Sword, which already has a clear owner, all future Sword Martial Soul Master in the world will belong to the Sword Sect...

P. S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
