Two months later, Spirit City, Papal Palace.
At Qian Chongling's instruction, Bibi Dong convened another council of elders.
Everything on the agenda this time was in preparation for the Soul Master Tournament.
Those attending were, as before, the few Enshrined and elders still at Spirit Hall, along with the official members of the Seven-Star Team and the Galaxy Fleet.

"Then the first proposal is approved."
Seeing that none of the Enshrined or elders objected, Bibi Dong continued, "Second, Godwind Academy and Blazing Fire Academy will enter this tournament
