Conceding is our right

The Pope is the leader in the hearts of all Soul Master. The moment Bibi Dong appeared, all the Soul Master present knelt on One Knee to show their respect.

"How dare you! Why don't you kneel!"

Noticing the Shrek Seven Devils standing out from the crowd, the Red-Clothed Cardinal the Spirit Hall cursed angrily.

Bibi Dong merely glanced at the Shrek Devils, showing no intention of pursuing the matter further.

Unexpectedly, the next second, a holy golden aura emanated from the palace on the mountain behind the Papal Hall.

The Shrek members were overwhelmed by the pressure and were all forced to their knees.

Refusing to kneel Pope was a provocation against the Spirit Hall, and the Worship Hall, which constantly monitored the situation in the Papal Hall, naturally could not tolerate it.

Bibi Dong's eye twitched slightly.

Qian Daoliu's action at this moment can be seen as a warning to her.

Noticing the situation of the Shrek Seven Devils, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong glared angrily at Bibi Dong above.

It is his right not to kneel before the Pope; what right does Bibi Dong have to force him to do so?

The Shrek Seven Devils were not injured; they were simply unable to stand up in the face of this irresistible force.

Tang San's face turned fierce. He was determined to defeat the Spirit Hall Team in the next match and vent his anger.

Bibi Dong stood there, silent for a long time.

Qiangu Changkong Kong whispered to Wu Qi, "Wu Ge, what is His Holiness the Pope waiting for?"

wait?

Who would dare make the Pope wait here?

It's not that she's waiting for someone; it's more likely that Bibi Dong wants to use this opportunity to express her protest to the Worship Hall.

After all, the people kneeling below were kneeling before the Pope, not a few cardinals.

After an unknown amount of time, when most people's legs were numb from kneeling, Bibi Dong finally spoke, "Please rise, everyone."

On behalf of the Spirit Hall, I thank all the spectators and guests for coming. Let us witness together the birth of this This Tournament champion.

"Thank you to all the Competitor; you brought us such exciting matches."

"You are all promising young talents."

Bibi Dong spoke in an official tone.

However, what happened next made many people gasp for breath.

"The champion team of this This Tournament is also the most outstanding young talent on the continent. The Spirit Hall This Tournament prepared Three Soul Bones as a reward for the champion team."

After speaking, Bibi Dong casually waved her hand, and a glowing Soul Bone appeared in front of her.

The luster of the Soul Bone was still clearly visible even at the Papal Mountain.

The Competitor showed a strong desire for the Soul Bone, while many in the audience had greedy looks in their eyes.

If it weren't for the fact that this was the Papal Hall and that there were many powerful figures guarding the area, a fierce battle for the Soul Bone would probably have broken out on the spot.

"Young Soul Master, fight! Fight for the glory that belongs to you!"

"And the reward of the Soul Bone belongs only to the champion!"

"Fight for your honor, and for the honor of the academy and the nation, and win the game."

After a brief Opening Ceremony, the three teams will compete in a Master of Ceremonies Arena Match to determine which team will advance to the winners' bracket Finals, while the two losing teams will advance to the Losers' Bracket ' bracket Finals.

The Team Captain of the three Battle Team remained on the Arena, while the rest of the team members retreated to the rest area.

The order of appearance in the next round of the Arena Match will be determined by drawing lots.

Under normal circumstances, the team that goes last has a greater advantage.

However, neither the Seven Treasures Team nor the Shrek Team intended to fight in this Arena Match, and therefore behaved quite casually.

The lottery ceremony had just begun, and the Staff called out his name several times, but Yu Tianheng remained unmoved.

On the High Platform, Bibi Dong frowned.

She didn't know what the Shrek Team was up to, but guessed it was most likely Yu Xiaogang's arrangement.

The audience was abuzz with discussion about Yu Tianheng's behavior.

"This kid, is he scared out of his wits? He's letting his guard down at a time like this?"

"With this kind of mentality, he's fit to be Team Captain?"

The insults did not "awaken" Yu Tianheng, who remained standing straight in place.

The Red-Clothed Cardinal, acting as the referee, couldn't help but glance towards the Shrek Team's rest area. "What's going on? Don't waste time; His Holiness the Pope has other matters to attend to."

"We concede!" Yu Xiaogang said calmly, his hands behind his back.

The referee's face darkened.

If you're going to admit defeat, then admit defeat. Why bother with all this pointless stuff?

Did they really have to wait until now, until the referee asked them, before they could speak?

"Oh? Why are you admitting defeat?" Bibi Dong asked casually, intrigued.

A normal person would humbly admit their lack of strength, wanting to conserve their power and avoid pointless resistance.

Yu Xiaogang, however, had a sudden inspiration and said arrogantly, "I think admitting defeat is our right."

"How dare you!"

The Red-Clothed Cardinal was furious, waiting for Bibi Dong's wrath.

Bibi Dong chuckled, too lazy to argue with him. "So be it. This is the first time I've ever seen someone speak in such a tone when admitting defeat as they did when winning."

Immediately, the audience members cast disdainful glances at the Shrek Academy.

The insults and abuse were incessant, but Yu Xiaogang didn't seem to care.

Now that the Shrek Academy Team has chosen to concede, things are much easier.

The Seven Treasures Team and the Spirit Hall Academy Team will Arena Match, with the winner advancing directly to the winners' bracket Finals.

Both sides see each other as rivals, and this Arena Match will allow them to understand each other's strengths, making it easier to develop targeted strategies later.

However, Seven Treasures Team clearly won't give them that chance.

Wu Qi stepped forward, facing Bibi Dong, and respectfully said, "Your His Holiness the Pope, the Seven Treasures Team acknowledges its inferiority to the Spirit Hall Academy Team and voluntarily enters the Losers' Bracket Finals."

"Granted."

Bibi Dong gently tapped the ground with her Scepter.

The pre-match Arena Match were not held, and neither the Seven Treasures Team nor the Shrek Team consumed Soul Power.

Therefore, the Losers' Bracket's Finals can begin today.

Before the match, Bibi Dong gave both teams a rest period of about the time it takes for One Incense Stick.

Seven Treasures Team Rest Area.

"Everyone, stay focused and don't let the Shrek Team down."

"Specific plans will be made after the lottery results are released."

Sun Buyu looked at everyone with a serious expression. "The Spirit Master Competition has been underway for several months now."

"For the upcoming competitions, I have no performance requirements for you. I only ask that you be able to face yourselves with a clear conscience, be worthy of the hard work of the past few months, and be true to the dreams in your hearts."

"Alright, take this time to relax your muscles so as not to affect your performance in the match."

Just now, in front of the Papal Hall, everyone knelt for a long time, and their legs were slightly numb.

Fortunately, the Seven Treasures Team had a large number of support Soul Master, including two Healing-Type Spirit Master, who quickly restored everyone's bodies.

Why didn't Bibi Dong arrange a draw first, and then give the two teams a rest?

The reason is simple: after the draw, the competition has entered the "start" stage, and members of both Battle Team are not allowed to receive assistance from Support-Type Spirit Master.

The current situation is definitely going to be a disadvantage for the Shrek Team, which has almost no logistical support.
