As all the Soul Fighting arenas slowly moved closer together and merged.
The original twenty-three towering Soul Fighting Arenas have now all been merged into one.
Xiao Yan looked around and saw the thirteen people remaining on the stage.
Besides himself and Zhu Zhuqing, there were also Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and three others who were previously known as the Spirit Hall Golden Generation.
Apart from those five, Xiao Yan didn't recognize most of the other eight people.
However, two or three of them had heard each other's names in casual conversations while accompanying Zhu Zhuqing around Spirit City recently.
These appear to be some highly regarded and popular players.
Upon seeing the closed-off competition platform around them, the expressions of the thirteen contestants present all changed.
Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing quietly walked together, while the other contestants also walked towards their friends or partners.
After all, the first round of fierce fighting was still fresh in everyone's mind.
They were all quite worried that Ji Yue would once again launch another chaotic and unruly brawl.
The thirteen people currently standing on the stage are undoubtedly among the top of the younger generation in terms of combat strength. Even if there are some differences, there will not be much change.
If they were surrounded and attacked at this time, even Hu Liena and the others, who had already reached the Soul King realm, could not guarantee that they could escape unscathed.
"Hehe, don't be so sensitive."
High above, Ji Yue's soft laughter rang out. Her gaze swept over the wary eyes of Xiao Yan and the others on the stage, and she began to explain:
"To ensure absolute fairness, the third round of the competition will be personally presided over by His Holiness the Pope, who will select the true Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall!"
Ji Yue finished speaking.
The entire venue froze for a moment, followed by a deafening roar like a tsunami!
"Wha... what!? It's actually His Holiness the Pope..."
"That was amazing! His Holiness the Pope himself selected them! I can't even imagine how excited I would be if I were on that stage!"
"Coward, I dare to think..."
The audience cheered and jumped for joy, their eyes filled with Frenzy.
Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, possesses both beauty and strength, and single-handedly developed the Spirit Hall to its current glorious state of dominating two great empires.
It is the belief of almost everyone.
Amidst the cheers of 100,000 people, Bibi Dong, who had been sitting upright on the high platform, raised her head slightly and walked to the front of the crowd, holding the scepter that represented the supreme status of the Pope.
"Teacher..."
On the competition stage, Hu Liena looked up at Bibi Dong in the sky, her eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.
She always considered the glory of the Spirit Hall as everything.
The excitement in my heart was indescribable.
"Fellow citizens of the Spirit Hall."
Bibi Dong's voice had a slightly hoarse quality, yet it possessed a unique charm.
"The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament has always been a prize for our Spirit Hall."
This selection is not only about bringing glory to you all, but also about showcasing the strength of our Spirit Hall to the entire continent, and letting everyone see the younger generation of our Spirit Hall!
Let the entire continent see the future of my Spirit Hall!
Bibi Dong's voice clearly reached everyone's ears.
A vast and terrifying Soul Power erupted from Bibi Dong's body, making everyone even more excited.
"Buzz!"
Bibi Dong raised the scepter high in her hand, then slammed it down with tremendous force.
A massive, golden scepter phantom suddenly appeared on the arena, landing in the very center.
As the illusory image of the scepter slowly descended, beams of golden light scattered from the scepter, spreading across the arena.
Xiao Yan looked at the golden light scattered on the competition stage, and he already had a guess about the rules of this third round of the competition.
"There is only one rule for the third round of competition."
The jewels on Bibi Dong's scepter shone brilliantly. She held it tightly and explained to the crowd:
"The golden light scattered on this arena contains a trace of the energy of a Soul Beast, which will be incorporated into your jade tokens after you are on the stage."
Each time you obtain a ray of golden light, the number of golden lights recorded in your jade tablet will increase.
The seven individuals with the most golden radiance on their jade tablets will become the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall this year, and the student with the most golden radiance will be the captain of the Golden Generation!
As Bibi Dong finished speaking, everyone's eyes immediately fell on the scattered golden light on the stage.
At this moment, the hundreds of golden rays scattered on the stage were of different sizes.
However, without explanation, everyone understands that a larger volume of gold must represent a greater quantity of gold.
Similarly, looting is permitted in this round of matches.
Just as everyone was scrutinizing Jin Hui on the stage, Bibi Dong's voice rang out again, explaining to the crowd:
"For each opponent you lose to, the amount of gold in your jade token will be halved as a reward for the winners. If you are defeated by multiple opponents, half of the gold in your jade token will be divided equally among the winners of the battle."
"Come on, children, show the Spirit Hall, show everyone, your strength and pride as the Golden Generation!"
"Now, I declare the third round of the competition open!"
Bibi Dong did not emphasize that teamwork was not allowed in this round of competition; in fact, she specifically stated that those who teamed up to win would also be able to share the points contributed by the loser.
But at this moment, there are thirteen teenagers standing on the stage.
They all have their own pride.
In front of 100,000 people, they couldn't bring themselves to team up with others to eliminate their opponents.
Even the three strongest members, Hu Liena, showed no signs of joining forces at this moment.
As soon as Bibi Dong announced the start of the match, everyone instantly flew out to the sides of the arena.
The golden radiance scattered on the stage was limited.
They all wanted to gain as many leverage as possible before the battle between the crowd broke out.
On the entire stage, there was only one person whose direction of movement was not towards Jin Hui.
" Xiao Yan, prepare to die!"
The moment everyone on the stage ran towards the scattered golden light, Yan, who had been standing still, suddenly rushed towards Xiao Yan's location.
Zhu Zhuqing had already flashed several meters away, glanced back at Xiao Yan. After receiving a reassuring look, she ignored Yan behind her and ran towards the surrounding golden light, relying on her own speed.
The other contestants, seeing Yan rush straight towards Xiao Yan, felt a surge of joy.
"That madman is fine. Let him go head-to-head with Xiao Yan. Then they won't have a chance to shine on the stage."
Everyone deliberately avoided Yan's position.
Now that Yan has tied down Xiao Yan, it's equivalent to having two fewer people competing with them, which is entirely beneficial to everyone.
Seeing Yan's impulsive behavior, Xie Yue Yue's face tightened with a grim expression, but in the end, she said nothing.
Since this was Yan's own decision, he should accept whatever the outcome may be.
Xie Yue looked at the crowd on the stage. Each one of them was a formidable opponent. Instead of vying for the golden brilliance and seizing the initiative, they impulsively went to fight Xiao Yan.
Xie Yue's assessment was: Stupid!
That's stupid!
