Two days later, in Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.
The grand opening ceremony of the All-Continent Elite Tournament for the Advanced Soul Master Academy, Heaven Dou Empire Region, was held in Heaven Dou City.
Before dawn, when the sun had even risen in the east, the renovated Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena was already packed with a huge crowd. The spectators weren't there to get in early, of course, as each ticket had a assigned seat. Their purpose was to see the participating young Soul Master up close on the first day of the opening ceremony.
Among them are many young women in the throes of first love. The total number of Soul Master across the entire continent does not exceed six figures, and nine out of ten of those are male Soul Master. Those who can represent Advanced Soul Master Academy in competitions are the cream of the crop, and they also have an age limit of twenty-five. Undoubtedly, they would become the most ideal partners in the hearts of young women. Marrying a powerful Soul Master would be a wonderful thing, bringing both fame and fortune.
Of course, there are also many nouveau riche with little knowledge who hope to be noticed by young female Soul Master. After all, female Soul Master who can participate in the Elite Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition must have high talent and will definitely be able to cultivate to a high level in the future.
Soul Master with high cultivation levels age much more slowly than ordinary people. If one can successfully marry a female Soul Master, it is definitely a matter of bringing honor to one's ancestors.
The Spirit Hall had booked a five-star hotel in Heaven Dou City well in advance. After all, the Spirit Hall Academy was not a school in Heaven Dou City, and the team competition of the Soul Master Tournament was not an elimination tournament. There were 26 matches a day, which meant that all 26 academies had to play against each other. They had to participate in the competition every day. If they didn't book a hotel, where would the Martial Soul Hall Team members rest?
As for the day of the rush? Even the tickets for the audience seats at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena were sold out, so where would there be any hotels with empty rooms in Heaven Dou City? Not only were there no hotels, but the rooms in all the small inns were also sold out.
Wow, there are so many people!
Stepping out of the hotel and seeing the bustling crowd, the members of the Martial Soul Hall Second Team were somewhat shocked. After all, they lived in Spirit City, Spirit City inhabited entirely by Soul Master. The number of Soul Master living in Spirit City was estimated to be less than one-fifth of the people gathered here.
At this moment, centered on the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, almost a third of Heaven Dou City was deserted, with the Heaven Dou City mobilizing a full 5,000 City Defense Army to maintain order.
As the Martial Soul Hall Second Team walked along the roads maintained by the City Defense Army, they attracted countless admiring glances and whistles wherever they went. After all, the Martial Soul Hall Second Team consisted of five young, beautiful women, each with her own unique charm.
The male appeal of the Martial Soul Hall Second Team was much lower. Only the team leader Xie Yue, looked handsome; the other two were good-looking, and one had an ordinary appearance.
On the other side, the Heaven Dou Second Team also walked towards the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena with their heads held high and their heroic posture in full swing. Wearing the exquisite team uniforms of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they no longer had to wear the extremely ugly green Shrek Academy uniforms like in their previous lives, enduring countless scornful looks and ridicule along the way, and wearing masks and not daring to see people.
Because Shrek Academy had grown stronger, on their way to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, they encountered Blue Sunshine Academy, with whom they had once again clashed in this life. The students of the Blue Sunshine Academy merely glared at them with resentment before leaving in a huff.
"Those guys from the Blue Sunshine Academy have become much more well-behaved in this life."
Oscar grinned mischievously and whispered in Tang San's ear, "Little San, do you think you'll turn those guys from the Blue Sunshine Academy into idiots this time?"
Tang San smiled faintly, "Then let's see if these guys behave themselves in this life. If they still don't behave, then don't blame me."
The Great Soul Arena was incredibly large, with stands capable of holding 80,000 spectators. It was decorated entirely with a silver-toned background, and although it was morning, the surrounding area was illuminated by special Soul Tool lighting, giving it not only a luxurious feel but also a grand and majestic atmosphere.
When Tang San's gaze fell on the VIP seats, his pupils suddenly contracted. In the very center was Xue Ye, to Xue Ye's left were Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo, and to Xue Ye's right was a woman who looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a near-perfect appearance and exuding a cold and noble aura.
Bibi Dong? No, with Bibi Dong's cultivation having already broken through to level 95 Titled Douluo, she is indeed qualified to sit there. However, Bibi Dong is not fond of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, so there is no need for her to specifically inform them that she will be sitting there. In other words, that person is the 100,000-year-old Death Spider Emperor!
What is the Spirit Hall trying to do? How dare they openly display the 100,000-year-old Death Spider Emperor King in front of the public? Aren't they afraid that Bibi Dong will expose its true nature?
"Xiao Gang, what happened to Bibi Dong?"
Flender also spotted Bibi Zhu in the audience. Instead of feeling Bibi Dong promoting Shrek Academy, he was extremely uneasy, worried that Liu Erlong from the Blue Tyrant Academy would find out about Bibi Dong's appearance in Heaven Dou City and her connection to the Shrek Academy.
Flender had kept the fact that Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong had reconciled a secret from Liu Erlong. He knew that Liu Erlong loved Yu Xiaogang very deeply, and that her love was no less than his love for Liu Erlong.
It is well known that Liu Erlong has an extremely volatile temper. Back when Yu Xiaogang ran away during their wedding, Liu Erlong couldn't find Yu Xiaogang and went berserk, slaughtering all the Soul Beast in the entire Soul Hunting Forest to vent her anger, which barely relieved the rage in her heart.
If Liu Erlong knew that Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong had reconciled, given Liu Erlong's temper, she would definitely storm into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and cause a scene, and then she might get a beating from Bibi Dong, since Bibi Dong's temper is even worse than Liu Erlong's, and her strength is far superior to Liu Erlong's.
Flender kept this from Liu Erlong to prevent her from getting hurt.
"No, she is not Dong'er, she should be the Death Spider Emperor of 100,000 years."
Yu Xiaogang stared at Bibi Spider Bibi Zhu less than a breath before confirming that she was not Bibi Dong. If she were Bibi Dong, then the moment she stepped into the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, Bibi Dong's eyes would have met his.
Sweat beaded on Yu Xiaogang's palms. To this day, he still couldn't understand why the Spirit Hall, with nothing better to do, would recruit a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast disguised as Bibi Dong. And now, they even had this fake Bibi Dong appear in the Elite Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition.
However, he was certain that the Spirit Hall's actions were definitely not well-intentioned.
What for? Of course, it's to pave the way for the real Bibi Dong's social death in the Spirit Master World.
First, reinforce the established perception within the Spirit Master World: Bibi Dong was the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, and now the Spider Emperor Douluo of the Spirit Hall. Then... Bibi Dong from the Shrek Academy, what makes you think you're the real Bibi Dong?
