"Ugh, this feeling of being restricted is really unpleasant," Jun Yi shrugged helplessly and sighed.
Dugu Yan took Jun Yi's arm and said with a smile, "Didn't you enjoy being fawned over before? How can you be unhappy about it?"
"The past is the past. I'm more mature now, and my thoughts are naturally different from before."
Jun Yi, looking furious, retorted, "Isn't it because Sister Yanyan is dishonest? If I didn't have enough stamina, you wouldn't even have the strength to get out of bed."
"Tch, who's bedridden is still uncertain. Little Brother Jun, don't be too confident in yourself," Dugu Yan laughed.
Just as the two were getting more and more explicit in their conversation and their actions were becoming increasingly inappropriate, Ye Lingling arrived at Dugu Yan's dormitory, intending to meet them at the entrance.
Seeing that the two had almost finished packing, he said, " Yanyan, Jun Yi, you're all packed now? Let's go."
"Um."
Jun Yi smiled slightly, then put on the Angel mask, and, pulling the alluring Dugu Yan along, left the dormitory with Ye Lingling.
When the three arrived at the school gate, the carriage was already prepared. After greeting the others, they boarded the carriage and headed to the opening ceremony venue.
The grand opening ceremony of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, Heaven Dou Empire Division, was held in Heaven Dou City.
As the grandest Soul Master Tournament in the Soul Master World, it attracts not only the attention of Soul Master, but also the attention of every citizen of Heaven Dou City, from royalty and nobles to commoners. They regard this tournament as the grandest festival.
The opening ceremony was held at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena in Heaven Dou City. Tickets for the opening ceremony had already sold out a month in advance. Even at extremely high prices, tickets were still hard to come by. As the main arena for the Heaven Dou division, the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena had suspended all Soul Fighting matches a month ago for internal renovations. All the sub-areas within the Great Soul Arena were combined with the main Soul Fighting Center to form a massive competition venue.
Besides the VIP area remaining on the north side of the entire competition venue, the renovated Great Soul Arena can accommodate 80,000 spectators at the same time. Although ticket sales generate substantial revenue, the Great Soul Arena itself also incurs considerable costs.
When Jun Yi and his group arrived at the Great Soul Arena, the renovated Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena was already packed with a huge audience. They had arrived so early so they could see the participating young Soul Master up close on the first day of the opening ceremony. Among them were quite a few young women in the throes of first love. According to the original novel, in the world of Douluo I, the total number of Soul Master across the entire continent did not exceed six figures. The students who could represent the Advanced Soul Master Academy were the cream of the crop, and with the age limit of twenty-five, they undoubtedly became the most ideal objects of affection for these young women.
Even some nobles who had purchased VIP tickets were gathered outside. Nobles have always been eager to recruit Soul Master. The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is a cradle of talent. Not to mention those who can achieve certain results, even those who just participate in the tournament are sought after by nobles and families.
At this moment, centered around the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, almost a third of Heaven Dou City was packed with people. Starting several days ago, all the hotels of all levels in Heaven Dou City were fully booked. The city's population had surged by nearly fifty percent. This clearly demonstrates the immense appeal of this continent-wide elite Soul Master Academy Tournament.
For this competition, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family mobilized a full ten thousand city defense troops to maintain order, thus preventing any riots from occurring.
Many of them came here just to catch a glimpse of Jun Yi at the opening ceremony. This genius, Jun Yi as one in a million, became a prince at the young age of fifteen. His legend had already spread throughout the continent, and today, he would finally take the stage.
As Jun Yi and his companions alighted from the carriage, fifteen guards immediately approached them and said, "To ensure your safety, please allow us to escort you to the venue."
Qin Ming smiled and nodded slightly to express his gratitude, saying, "Well, in that case, I'll trouble you all."
"His duty is to sit."
After saying this, the guards surrounded the group and walked towards the interior of the Great Soul Arena.
"Look, that's the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"
"Yes, their school uniforms are the same as the second team's uniforms that went in earlier, so they must be the first team without a doubt."
"Which one is Jun Yi? Can someone point him out to me?"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd recognized the uniforms of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and then the entire spectator stands erupted in discussion. Because of Jun Yi's presence, they had become one of the focal points of the event, naturally attracting countless eyes.
"I didn't expect we'd get so much attention." Osler's face lit up with excitement as he looked at the many exclamations around him.
"We all benefited from Jun Yi's influence. Guess how many of those people recognized your name?" Yu Feng, walking beside Osler, teased him.
Qin Ming gently shook his head and smiled, "Perhaps we don't know now, but after this competition, I believe your names will definitely become household names."
Hearing Qin Ming's encouraging words, the others became even more determined to fight, especially Osler, Yu Feng, Mo Yu. They were all aware of their own strength. Although they already possessed the cultivation level of Soul Ancestor, they were not the strongest among their peers. What they needed to do was not only to cultivate diligently, but also to broaden their knowledge and experience so that they could go further in the future.
They are not the strongest among their peers. What they need to do is not only to work hard and cultivate their skills, but also to broaden their knowledge and experience so that they can go further in the future.
As soon as they entered the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, the group from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy became the focus of everyone's attention. Even the referees and staff hosting the competition couldn't help but glance at them a few more times.
After all, it's extremely difficult to catch a glimpse of members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy First Team on ordinary days, and even if they do, it's only a fleeting glance. But today, they can experience it up close, how could they not be overjoyed?
Just as the group reached the rest area, a burst of laughter came from another direction.
"What college are they from? My god, did they just crawl out of a latrine?"
