Heaven Dou City, capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Today was the opening day of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
The Heaven Dou Empire division held a grand opening ceremony at the Great Soul Fighting Arena.
Heaven Dou Great Soul Fighting Arena, as early as three days ago, had completed its internal renovations.
All the subsidiary arenas had been merged with the main Soul Fighting center, forming an incomparably massive competition venue.
Aside from the VIP section, which remained on the north side of the entire venue, the renovated Great Soul Fighting Arena could even accommodate more than a hundred thousand spectators.
And at this moment, the arena was already packed to the brim.
Naturally, the audience had not arrived so early just to enter the venue sooner, because every ticket came with an assigned seat number.
They had come so that, on the first day of the opening ceremony, they could see the competing young Soul Masters up close.
Starting several days ago, hotels of every class throughout Heaven Dou City had been fully booked, as countless people flocked in from all directions.
For this reason, Heaven Dou City had no choice but to mobilize its city defense army to maintain order.
The clamor from the stands rose wave after wave as everyone waited for the opening ceremony to officially begin.
Just then, a deep, resounding horn sounded from the direction of the VIP passage.
The entire venue instantly fell silent.
The royal honor guard marched out in formation from both sides of the passage, their gold-and-red banners snapping sharply in the wind.
Immediately afterward, the figure of Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire appeared at the end of the passage.
He wore a gold-and-red dragon robe and a golden diamond Radiant Sky Crown.
