Everyone who entered the city soon saw the cardinal who greeted them.
"Welcome everyone to Spirit City. The competition will start in three days. The competition venue is at the Spirit City center. In the morning after three days, I will go to your hotel and take you all there. Before then, you can move around Spirit City freely. Of course, entry near the Pope's Palace is prohibited."
Seeing everyone nodding in understanding, he turned around.
"Now please follow me, I will take you to the hotel where you will stay."
Under his leadership, a group of people checked into the hotel on the west side of Spirit City. Not only was the decoration luxurious, but even the staff in the hotel were all Soul Grandmaster who started at level 20. Everyone couldn't help but feel a little emotional. This Spirit Hall is really wealthy.
Although the cardinal allowed them to do whatever they wanted, after being on the road for several days and with the game approaching, no one was in the mood to go shopping at Spirit City at this time. They all chose to stay in the room and practice, just to have a better chance of winning in the game. After all, there was plenty of time to go shopping after the game was over, and no one wanted to miss out at this critical node.
And Grandmaster dare not go out. Since they are not sure whether the other party will attack them, it is safer to stay in a crowded hotel. Otherwise, if there are more than a dozen Titled Douluo suddenly appear around when they go out one day, they will be killed without being able to shout for help.
Three days passed by in a flash, and a total of thirty colleges gathered at the Spirit City center competition venue. Less than a kilometer in front of the venue was the towering Pope's Palace.
Opposite Pope's Palace, on the other side of the competition venue, there is a high platform, on which are sitting the judges representing the two empires. There are three seats at the front. On the left is Heaven Dou Empire's prince Xue Qinghe, and on the right is a middle-aged man.
"I would also like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for bringing me to this good location."
A slightly cold female voice sounded behind the prince's seat. Following the sound, a beautiful woman wearing a silver-white palace dress was sitting on the seat in the back row. She interpreted elegance in every move and exuded a noble temperament at all times.
Xue Qinghe chuckled without looking back.
"It's just a small matter, Aunt Yuehua, please don't always call me Your Highness, just call me Qinghe. However, I didn't expect that you, who have never been interested in these things, would also like to come to Soul Master Tournament this time. You shocked me when you came to me. Are you here for that Tang San?"
On the eve of his departure from Heaven Dou City, Tang Yuehua suddenly found him and hoped to follow him to Spirit City to watch the game.
Although when Tang San used Clear Sky Hammer, he knew that this matter would reach Tang Yuehua's ears, but he did not expect that the other party would actually want to come to Spirit City to confirm the news. If he refused, the other party might become suspicious, so he simply brought him over with him.
"Clear Sky Sect's disciple is here. Of course I am a little curious, but more importantly I want to meet the young talents of the empire."
Tang Yuehua was non-committal, Xue Qinghe knew her true identity, so there was nothing to deny, otherwise she wouldn't have come to see her.
She indeed heard from those nobles that the owner of Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul was born. She was surprised and wanted to come and take a look. She must know that as the only active member of the Clear Sky Sect, it is impossible for her not to know about the birth of the sect, so the only possibility is that Tang San is that person's son...
She had been missing for more than ten years, and now she finally found out the clues. Naturally, she wanted to come and have a look. Before setting off, she even wrote a letter and sent it to her elder brother Clear Sky Sect urgently. She didn't know how the other party would react.
"My sister Xue Ke, I ask Aunt Yuehua to pay more attention to her etiquette teaching."
"Of course, His Highness the Crown Prince has done me such a great favor, so I should do my best for Xue Ke... By the way, why hasn't the person sitting next to the Crown Prince come yet?"
Xue Qinghe sneered, and the words on his lips did not give Spirit Hall any face.
"Oh, Spirit Hall people always like to do these things and want us all to wait for him? I don't know who is so arrogant?"
Hearing this, Tang Yuehua curled up the corner of his mouth, covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Your Highness, please be careful what you say. After all, this is the opponent's territory. We will find out after a while..."
The finals lasted for a total of five rounds. In the first four rounds, the leading teacher came on stage to draw lots to determine the opponent. The loser was directly eliminated. Because there was no opening ceremony, the game started directly after the lot was drawn.
Today is the first round. As the seed players, the official teams Heaven Dou, Star Luo Empire, and Spirit Hall have byes.
"Hey, is that Poison Douluo?"
Oscar looked around and suddenly pointed to the other side. Everyone looked in the direction and saw that Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team, who had defeated them before, had a bye in the first game, but also came to the spectator stand to watch the game.
Poison Douluo, who once drove them away from the Heaven Dou Academy, was also among them, saying something to his granddaughter.
The other party seemed to have noticed this, staring at Tang San and Grandmaster with slightly narrowed eyes. After a moment, he looked at Zhu Zhuqing and nodded slightly.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded in response, knowing that the other party was asking her to show mercy if she met his granddaughter in the competition.
After what happened to Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, she really didn't have any bad feelings towards this old naughty boy who had no pretensions to Titled Douluo. She would feel a little embarrassed if she borrowed someone else's place and beat her granddaughter again.
"Yuhao Why didn't you come? You obviously wanted to watch our game."
Seeing that Spirit Hall's participating team did not show up from the beginning to the end, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but feel a little uninterested.
"Uncle Jian, what do I say? I have raised this daughter in vain for so many years. I have forgotten all of us just thinking about Yuhao."
A teasing voice sounded from behind everyone, and Ning Rongrong knew who it was just by hearing the voice. Regardless of whether the other person was teasing him, he turned around to see the two of them with surprises on their faces.
"Dad, why are you and Grandpa Jian here?"
"Of course, we are watching our Little Demoness play. We are in the finals. Is it going to be used as a secret weapon?"
"Humph, that's for sure, you and Grandpa Jian just wait and see!"
Just when Ning Rongrong was feeling proud, exclamations suddenly came from the audience.
"Look at the judging panel! Holy Son is here!"
I don't know who said something, which attracted the attention of the people around to focus on the judging table.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao was wearing a robe made of gold silk, showing his nobility. His long snow-white hair was simply tied up, and his beautiful face was no longer obscured, completely presented to the world. With a gentle smile on his face, he slowly walked towards the seat in the middle of the judging panel.
The first thing he noticed about Xue Qinghe was that his body stiffened slightly.
During the promotion competition days, Xue Qinghe went into his room every night, which was really hard.
As a result, after he returned to Spirit City, he was tortured by his sister so much that he couldn't sleep every night, which made him feel a little frightened when he saw these two people. You Spirit Hall people are really not ordinary perverts!
Then he noticed Tang Yuehua beside him, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised on his face.
"Huh? Sister Yuehua? You are here, long time no see."
"Ah, oh...Yuhao, it's been a long time. Are you the judge today?"
Only then did Tang Yuehua come back to his senses. A trace of blush appeared on his face. He had been in charge of the Moonlight Pavilion for so many years. When had he ever lost his temper like this? Moreover, the other party was much younger than him, and he was actually fascinated by it...
It wasn't until the other person sat in the middle seat in the front row that she quietly glanced at the other person's profile.
So beautiful...
Heaven Dou There are many outstanding-looking people among the nobles. After all, even if the nobles themselves are not very good-looking, the male and female companions around them are also top-notch in appearance.
But even though she has read countless people, she has to admit that there is no one who can compare with the person in front of her. Coupled with that unique temperament, just standing there exudes an alluring aura, tempting people to subconsciously want to contact and explore.
"Yes, His Holiness the Pope let me show off."
There was a wry smile on Huo Yuhao's face. Xue Qinghe on the left just stared blankly at him as he slowly sat down. After a while, he came back to his senses and coughed twice.
"Brother Huo really attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared on the stage. Did Pope pick this outfit for you?"
Seeing Huo Yuhao nodded awkwardly, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but tighten his fists, and then loosened them.
I have to admit, that woman's taste in choosing clothes for him is indeed better than mine...
"Holy Son...Holy Son--! Holy Son--!"
From sporadic shouting at the beginning, the audience was aroused and erupted into cheers. Although there were only a few thousand spectators in the competition venue, because it was Soul Master, the volume produced by using Soul Power far exceeded the tens of thousands of people in the original qualifiers.
In the spectator seats, Old Jack, who was protected by Snake Lance Pufferfish and two Titled Douluo, watched this scene with tears in his eyes.
He never thought he would see this scene. Even now, he feels like he is dreaming. The child who was praised by the neighbors has now grown to this point.
"Why do I feel that Yuhao looks even more handsome in this dress than in the qualifiers..."
Looking at the much-anticipated figure on the stage, Ning Rongrong murmured, while Zhu Zhuqing on the side pursed his lips and said nothing, without even blinking, for fear of missing a glance.
"Hmph, only children make choices, I want them all!"
Xiao Wu wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were filled with little hearts, and he hummed and spoke.
Seeing the cheers of the crowd, Huo Yuhao's eyes twitched slightly, he raised his hand and pressed it down. After the crowd's voices slowly disappeared, he spoke loudly.
"Due to His Holiness the Pope's busy schedule, I, Spirit Hall Team, happened to have a bye in the first competition, so I will be the judge of the Spirit Hall's side in today's competition."
Although he said this, he subconsciously recalled what happened in the past few days in his mind, and he felt tired.
Bibi Dong never let him go after he came back. She would eat, eat, eat, and sleep every day, and then tortured him in various ways. Things that were not busy at first also piled up and became busy due to her strike.
Do you know that beauty can harm the country? His Holiness the Pope!
Three days ago, he originally wanted to pick up the people who arrived at Spirit City in person, but he was not given a chance to spare.
It wasn't until today that the opponent let him go and took out this custom-made dress and asked him to be the judge.
The reason given by Bibi Dong is very simple.
"As Spirit Hall Holy Son, I showed my face in the Heaven Dou City competition. How can I not show my face in my own competition?"
Later, many difficult things happened while wearing this dress in front of Bibi Dong, so I won't mention them one by one... This is why he got up early but was the last one to come to the judging table.
After getting rid of the unhealthy images in his mind, Huo Yuhao looked around, and his gentle voice echoed in the field.
"Then Soul Master Tournament finals--officially begins."
Cheers resounded throughout the venue again, and the participating members felt their blood boiling when they heard the sounds around them.
After more than ten years of hard training, I have been waiting for this moment!
The results of the lottery came out soon. The two games that attracted Huo Yuhao's most attention were Shrek Academy playing against Blazing Team, but the opponent directly abstained, and Skywater Team played against a veteran strong team named Star Luo Empire. After a brief glance at the other team members, Huo Yuhao had nothing to worry about.
If it was Shui Bing'er who led the team before the special training, it might be more difficult to win, but now it's different. It just depends on how many trump cards need to be exposed.
The first day of the game went by without incident. Except for the Blazing Academy abstaining from the game and merging into Divine Wind Team, nothing too eye-catching happened.
After an interval of one day for each major team to repair, the second round of competition began quickly. The middle seat on the judging panel has been replaced by a Spirit Hall Platinum Bishop, Heaven Dou Division, Shrek and Star Luo Empire ranked first in the division. The first team in the division has a bye, and the three seed teams will begin to compete with their opponents.
At the end of the draw, unfortunately, the two national teams Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire drew a weak opponent, while Spirit Hall drew the already fused in the first game. Godwind Academy, Soul Ancestor's lineup, looking at all the teams, except for the Spirit Hall, I'm afraid only Star Luo Royal Academy Team can reach this level.
However, this is not what everyone at the Godwind Academy wants to see. At this moment, their faces are full of despair. They thought they could last a few more rounds after fusion, but they met the final devil of the game. This script is wrong!
Compared with their despair, Spirit Hall is also very troubled.
"Why did we come across..."
Su Cheng in the rest area frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he felt it made sense. After all, with Huo Yuhao here, the championship was already within his grasp, so he had to fight a team that could reflect the gold content of the game. Since he had this strength, winning the championship against a group of strong teams would give the audience a different impression than winning by picking up the slack.
So it is definitely possible to win, but how to win steadily without exposing too much strength is a problem. The opponent's merged team has the same full Soul Ancestor lineup as their substitute team. This is obviously not an opponent that can win steadily by relying solely on substitutes.
He glanced around the crowd, and his eyes fell on Huo Yuhao, who was being held by Hu Liena, with a numb face. He already had the answer in his heart, and when in doubt, he would go to Huo Yuhao!
I saw him speaking with a smile.
"Yuhao, you can only use your Martial Soul ability."
"Ah? Oh..."
Huo Yuhao looked calm on the surface, but was moved in his heart. He felt that the other party couldn't bear to see him being tortured and was helping him out!
Teacher Su is such a good person!
He finally escaped from the arms of Bibi Dong this morning. He thought it would be easier to watch the game, but he forgot that there was a direct disciple of Bibi Dong waiting for him in the team. It would be great if he could still watch from the judging panel...
No, the judges' seats also have to bear the gaze of Xue Qinghe. It's safer to go to the competition venue...
Gently squeezing Hu Liena's palm, Huo Yuhao couldn't wait to get up and slowly walked onto the field with the six substitutes selected by Su Cheng.
"The next match will be between our much-anticipated Martial Soul Hall Academy Team and Godwind Academy Team, whose strength has increased dramatically. Players from both sides are invited to play!"
As the host's introduction ended, members dressed in pure white uniforms with the Spirit Hall pattern embroidered on them filed into the stadium. When everyone saw the white-haired figure walking in the front, they suddenly burst into cheers that echoed throughout the world.
"Holy Son--Holy Son--"
Feng Xiaotian, who was on the opposite side, frowned slightly when he saw this scene and couldn't help but question.
"What about Golden Generation? Only one Holy Son appears. Are you looking down on us?"
Huo Wu and others who followed behind also had a trace of anger on their faces. They had regarded this game as a last ditch effort and had no intention of winning. However, as the only three full Soul Ancestor teams in the entire game, why should those three Soul Kings also come out, right?
"..."
Spirit Hall Everyone's expressions couldn't help but be a little weird when they heard this. They didn't pay enough attention to it? What else do you want? A few more Holy Son?
They all looked at the white-haired figure in the lead, and saw Huo Yuhao coughing twice, with a smile on his face.
"I think you may have misunderstood. I only appear as an assistant. The six of us are enough to deal with you. If you feel that you are not taken seriously, please show your strength and speak up. If you can win, it is your ability."
As soon as these words came out, the smell of gunpowder immediately exploded in the entire audience. Feng Xiaotian gritted his teeth. The other party had said so. If he said anything cruel, he would be in trouble.
"Then let me see how strong you are!"
As the two sides set up their formations, Huo Yuhao took the lead in releasing Martial Soul. His hair turned directly to silver white, and his eyes like broken crystals made people feel a little lost just by looking at them. The strange thing was that Soul Ring did not appear under his feet.
Other team members and members of the Godwind Academy also showed off Martial Soul, all of which were the best Soul Ring combination of two yellow and two purple. The terrifying power directly brought the heat of the scene to a climax.
The eyes of the audience were full of excitement. They never expected to see two teams with such high value compete against each other in the second round.
As the referee gave the order, Godwind Academy saw a magical scene. Huo Yuhao's eyes moved. Among his six teammates, the attribute quality of four of his six teammates with elemental attributes was soaring at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This..."
Seeing the high temperature on an opponent's body that was already more terrifying than his own flames, Huo Wu felt his throat become dry.
"Is this Spirit Hall..."
What seemed like an evenly matched battle turned out to be a one-sided scene in front of the audience. The only one who could put up any resistance was Feng Xiaotian, the captain of Divine Wind. With Self-Created Soul Skill and the advantage of flying in the air, he single-handedly resisted the tall man who used the power of Thunderclap.
However, as Huo Yuhao's eyes continued to change, he found that his wind attribute quality was rapidly decreasing, and even the cyan wings on his back could no longer be maintained, and he fell directly to the ground.
Until the referee announced the end of the game, there was still confusion and disbelief in his eyes.
"What kind of ability is this!?"
The opponent obviously wouldn't tell him the answer. Huo Yuhao glanced around at the opponents lying on the ground and left with his team members, leaving the audience with confused faces.
"...Holy Son just showed up and won?"
"Idiot, didn't you see that after Holy Son's eyes changed, his teammates became more than a level stronger? His teammates who were also Soul Ancestor directly crushed Godwind Academy, who performed so well in the first round."
"Is Holy Son an auxiliary Soul Master?"
"I think..."
In the audience, Tang San stared at this scene in a daze, feeling his hands and feet feel cold. After Huo Yuhao's improvement, every opponent's teammate has a strength that is not weaker than Feng Xiaotian. Although he can beat Feng Xiaotian in the promotion round, but facing six at the same time, can he really win...
Suddenly a hand patted his head, and Grandmaster's excited voice sounded.
"Xiao San, don't give up, teacher, I have discovered the other party's limitations."
Hearing this, Tang San subconsciously raised his head and looked at Grandmaster, his eyes full of hope.
"Teacher, have you seen it?"
"Well, first of all, the opponent has six teammates. According to what I observed, only four of them Martial Soul's teammates with elemental attributes have been greatly improved. That means the opponent can only have a auxiliary effect on Martial Soul's elemental attributes."
"But even if there are only four, I will..."
"The weakness I want to talk about is not this, Xiao San. Let me ask you, what will the auxiliary system Soul Master do if she loses her teammates?"
Tang San was slightly startled, and then his eyes burst into surprise.
"Let others slaughter you!"
Grandmaster Seeing this, the corner of his mouth curved and he nodded in approval.
"It seems that you have understood that since the opponent has strong support ability, then we can destroy it. You must know that there is a single-player competition in the fifth round. As long as we focus on injuring several of his teammates at that time, so that they cannot play, or they cannot play to their full strength, then Huo Yuhao will definitely be unable to survive in the subsequent team competition!"
Speaking of this Grandmaster couldn't help but sigh, with strong confidence in his eyes.
"You also said at the beginning that his skills are all auxiliary skills. When he was singled out with Zhao Wuji, he relied on those Soul Tool and some auxiliary skills to deal with it. It proves that his Martial Soul is a Martial Soul that prefers auxiliary skills. He also He is obviously aware of this, and he is indeed very ambitious. He is not willing to be a support Soul Master who is at the mercy of others. His sword skills and extraordinary physical fitness are proof that he wants to change! He wants to use this to make up for his shortcomings in strength, but he did not expect that I would discover his weakness in just the first game!"
"Now that your combat power is stronger than the opponent's, you only need to weaken the opponent's auxiliary ability as I said. During team battles, let your teammates deal with others, and you can face Huo Yuhao alone and completely defeat him!"
Grandmaster's words are like a clear spring, nourishing Tang San's desperate heart.
The teacher is indeed still a teacher! His eyes are still so vicious! Such a vicious eyes have chosen him as his disciple. How encouraging is this for him?
"Teacher, thank you for your guidance, I will not let you down!"
"Well, what you have to do now is to defeat the next opponents while preserving your strength as much as possible. Bet that we will not meet them before the finals. As long as we can enter the finals, then we have hope of winning!"
"Yes!"
