The Three Elemental Academies Join Forces

Heaven Dou City lay in the northeast of the Heaven Dou Empire, while Spirit City was situated in the southernmost part of the Heaven Dou Empire. The distance between them was vast, nearly two thousand kilometers.

Traveling from the Heaven Dou Imperial Hunting Grounds to Spirit City by carriage took at least twenty days.

There were thirty-three teams in the Grand Finals, including three seeded teams granted direct entry and fifteen elite teams selected from each of the Two Great Empires' divisions.

Since the Grand Finals used an elimination format, the competition would not last very long. The winners could be decided in less than ten days.

Spirit Hall attached immense importance to this Grand Finals. While the Qualifying Tournament was still underway, Spirit City had already specially cleared out an area to serve as the venue for this year's Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament Grand Finals.

At the same time, to ensure the smooth conduct of the Grand Finals, Spirit City had specifically announced a decree.

During the tournament, all non-Spirit Masters were forbidden from entering to watch the matches, not even nobles.

For such a grand event as the Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, ordinary civilians and nobles who were not Spirit Masters could use tickets to witness the splendor of Spirit Masters only during the Preliminary Tournament. The Qualifying Tournament and Grand Finals were not open to the public.

As a result, the final Grand Finals gained an added air of mystery.

Naturally, civilians did not feel dissatisfied because of Spirit Hall's decree. To them, Spirit Masters had always been lofty existences beyond their reach, while Spirit Hall was a temple and sacred land in their hearts.

Since it was a decree personally issued by His Holiness the Pope, who would dare say anything more?
