The opening ceremony of the finals
Feng Xiaotian smiled and said, "We all live in Heaven Dou City, and we'll definitely return to the academy in five years."
"Team Captain, where are you guys?"
Both Qiangu Changkong and Wu Qi are members of the Spirit Hall. Whether they can return to Heaven Dou City in five years is still unknown.
Chen Ping's family is not wealthy, and he will definitely have to earn money to support his family after graduation.
Wu Qi smiled and said, "Chang Kong and I are fine. Master and the other grandfathers won't stop us from meeting."
"Chen Ping, what do you say?"
Chen Ping longed for the Noble Rank bestowed by Xue Ye. For Ordinary Person like him, becoming Earl represented a leap in social class. However, he also did not want to give up the opportunity to be with Wu Qi.
It's important to understand that following a top genius will undoubtedly bring many benefits in the future.
"Team Captain, I'd like to cultivate with you." He said, lowering his head as if afraid the other person would refuse.
Wu Qi suddenly smiled, "Alright, come along with us, you'll keep us company."
"But you'd better think it through. Our upcoming training environment will be extremely dangerous; you might perish."
Although obtaining the title of Earl would allow him to enjoy a comfortable life, it was not what he wanted.
Or rather, he was extremely greedy.
If he can become Titled Douluo, his Noble Rank will be far more than just Earl; he might even become Duke.
Of course, when that time comes, he will definitely choose to serve as Elder of the Spirit Hall, rather than a retainer of the Heaven Dou Empire.
"In that case, everyone should keep an eye on the time. We'll meet at the academy in five years," Feng Xiaotian said with a smile.
"When we were at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the senior students from the previous year served as our Sparring Partner. So, five years from now, let's have the job of being the academy's sparring Sparring Partner?"
Wu Qi smiled and agreed, but he knew that there would be no more Spirit Master Competition for the next ten years or so.
Bibi Dong's ambitions clashed rapidly, Golden Crocodile Douluo admitted that he was no match for her.
After the Spirit Master Competition ends, everything will continue to develop according to the Original Space-Time timeline.
Huo Wu Wulang laughed and said, "We'd better work hard at training from now on, otherwise you guys will fall behind us."
Time flew by, and the day of the Finals arrived.
Because the competition was held on Papal Mountain, a key location of the Spirit Hall, only members of the Battle Team had participated in the Finals and their teachers were allowed to attend. The number of ordinary spectators was very small.
The audience consisted mostly of meritorious members of the Spirit Hall and their families, as well as many invited guests.
However, the spectator stands inside the city were not dismantled. After the match began, someone would go to report on the match on Papal Mountain, essentially verbally relaying information from the match site.
As the Seven Treasures Team stepped out of the Hotel, they noticed a large number of people standing outside.
These people are all Competitor from the Heaven Dou Empire region. Perhaps there were some frictions between them before, but since it concerns the honor of the empire, these Battle Team spontaneously cheered for the Seven Treasures Team.
Yu Tianxin, Shui Bing'er, and Dugu Yan stood at the very front of the group.
"We may have lost, but the empire has not. If you lose, don't blame us for disowning you as friends."
Wu Qi responded with a smile, "Don't worry, our only goal is the championship."
As they spoke, led by Dugu Yan, everyone reached out and gave a high-five to the Seven Treasures Team.
"Go for it! You are our last hope! Defeat the Spirit Hall Academy Team!"
The entrance to the Seven Treasures Team was bustling with activity, while the entrance to the Shrek Academy Team was deserted, with only the Peerless Dragon Serpent Couple and Meng Yiran cheering them on.
Before long, the Seven Treasures Team walked out of the Hotel surrounded by the crowd.
The Staff of the Spirit Hall had been waiting there for a long time. On the way to the Papal Mountain, Dugu Yan and others spontaneously escorted the Seven Treasures Team.
Seeing this, the Shrek members couldn't help but sneer.
"Hehe, these people will get a good slap in the face after the competition," Xiao Wu said indignantly.
Tang San sneered, "Xiao Wu, don't worry about it. Time will prove how wrong their choice was."
Yu Xiaogang cleared his throat and said calmly, "Don't worry about what others think."
"During the Preliminary Round, nobody had high hopes for us; during the Qualifying Round, they made a laughing stock of us, but we still made it to the Finals."
"We are Shrek, monsters that cannot be defined!"
At the Papal Mountain, Dugu Yan and the others were forced to separate from the Seven Treasures Team.
On the Finals, Competitor and audience members were arranged in different areas and were not allowed to communicate with each other.
Along the way up the mountain, the Competitor Tunnel was lined with guards from the Papal Hall.
The Soul Power fluctuations emanating from these people were exceptionally strong; almost all of them were Soul Saint experts.
Bibi Dong made such a big show of it, both to prove the power of the Spirit Hall and to win over the geniuses of this This Tournament.
Leading the way was naturally the host Spirit Hall Academy Team, followed by Seven Treasures Academy Team, and finally Shrek Academy Team.
Upon reaching the Papal Mountain, each Battle Team was led to their respective rest area, followed closely by the referee team.
In the rest area, everyone marveled at the grandeur of the Papal Hall.
This place is a sacred place in the hearts of all Soul Master, and also the center of power of the Spirit Hall.
Something came to Wu Qi's mind.
In the Original Space-Time, Tang Hao appeared to save the day, not only shattering the golden statue of the Papal Hall but also causing the Spirit Hall's status to plummet.
He didn't know if the Worship Hall would take his letter seriously.
If Tang Hao were to smash up the Papal Hall again this time, Wu Qi wouldn't know what to say.
"Team Captain, Chang Kong, have you been here before?" Feng Xiaotian asked.
He wasn't asking for nothing; he wanted to gauge the political climate on Papal Mountain and prepare for the competition.
Qiangu Changkong laughed and said, "I used to play here a lot when I was a kid, but I haven't been here since."
Wu Qi shook his head.
He passed by the Papal Hall many times, but never lingered there.
Feng Xiaotian said in a deep voice, "Logically speaking, the wind should be very strong on the mountain, but we can't feel any wind speed here."
Qiangu Changkong, seemingly lost in thought, explained, "The Papal Hall was blessed with divine protection at its inception, so neither earthquakes nor storms will affect it."
"Blessing only cuts off external influences; it doesn't affect the internal situation. To be precise, it has no impact on the Soul Fighting."
Soon after, the audience began to arrive at the scene.
Led by Staff, the three teams participating in the Finals were taken to a temporary Arena set up in the Papal Hall.
As the master of Master of Ceremonies announced the start of the ceremony, the doors of the Papal Hall slowly opened.
Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo was the first to emerge, followed closely by Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.
Originally, Dugu Bo was also invited to come out of the Papal Hall.
However, he was somewhat intimidated by Bibi Dong and declined the invitation.
Finally, amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of countless Spirit Hall Staff, Pope Bibi Dong, holding a scepter symbolizing Pope authority, slowly walked out.
