The match between Team Tiantou No. 1 and Heaven Dou Second Team was the last match of the final round. After this battle, all the match results and rankings were released.
Heaven Dou Second Team boasts an undefeated record, ranking first. Their performance, both in terms of the battlefield and their dominance over their opponents, is truly terrifying, making their first-place ranking well-deserved.
At this time, the Heaven Dou Second Team maintained a perfect record of 28 wins and 0 losses, ranking first among all teams.
Skywater Academy achieved a record of 26 wins and 2 losses, ranking second. The two losses were against Heaven Dou Second Team and Godwind Academy, but due to the head-to-head record, they ranked ahead of Heaven Dou Team One.
Heaven Dou Team One achieved a record of 26 wins and 2 losses, ranking third. Their two losses were against Heaven Dou Second Team and Skywater Academy.
Blazing Fire Academy ranked fourth with a record of 25 wins and 3 losses, losing only to the top three. Due to head-to-head results, it ranked ahead of the Godwind Academy.
Godwind Academy achieved a record of 25 wins and 3 losses, ranking fifth. The three losses were against Heaven Dou Team One, Heaven Dou Second Team, and Blazing Fire Academy.
Thunder Academy is ranked sixth with a record of 23 wins and 5 losses, all of which were losses to the top five teams.
These are the top six teams from the Heaven Dou region, and all six teams have qualified for the qualifying rounds.
Elephant Armor Academy unfortunately ranked seventh, which seems to be the only time in recent years that they failed to enter the qualifying rounds. Huyan Zhen's face turned black with anger.
Canghui Academy is rather disappointing. Although it has the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill, which can occasionally give them a sneaky advantage against strong teams, its overall strength is still too weak. Once other teams are on guard, it becomes difficult to use it effectively.
In particular, the sudden and mysterious disappearance of Shi Nian, the team leader of the Canghui Academy, caused extreme chaos within the team, making it impossible to devise many targeted tactics. As a result, they suffered several crushing defeats and were eliminated.
As for the Shrek Academy, which rose to prominence in the original story (formerly known as Blue Tyrant Academy ), it remained at the bottom, failing to achieve many victories.
After the match, with the help of healing Soul Master, everyone on the Heaven Dou Team One gradually recovered. However, Tang San seemed rather dejected, and there appeared to be a hint of hatred in his eyes.
After the competition, the awards ceremony was held. The ceremony was very grand, with the captains of the top six teams going on stage to participate. The award presenters were Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, and Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall.
The captain and vice-captain of Heaven Dou Team One are Tang San and Yu Tianheng, the captain and vice-captain of Heaven Dou Second Team are Yang Podi and Yang Ping'an, the captain and vice-captain of the Skywater Academy are Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu, and the captain and vice-captain of the other teams are two people who have performed well on the field, who are basically the two people with the highest Soul Power in their teams.
Yang Podi, as the captain of the Heaven Dou Second Team, was the only one who did not play in the entire qualifier, which even attracted everyone's attention.
Some viewers were even wondering, who exactly is this person? What makes him qualified to be the captain of the Heaven Dou Second Team? You have to know that Yang Ping'an, as the only Soul King in the Heaven Dou region throughout the entire preliminary round, is almost in a class of his own. Whether it is Soul Power or combat power, he is far superior to others.
Even the captains and vice-captains of the other teams were puzzled. What made this person worthy of being ranked ahead of Yang Ping'an? Could it be that his strength was far greater?
It's important to know that in almost every competition, each team rotates its lineup to adapt to different opponents. However, Heaven Dou Second Team uses the same lineup from start to finish, seemingly without any specific tactics, relying solely on overwhelming strength to crush their opponents.
Huo Wu, who was more outgoing, quietly asked Yang Ping'an, " Yang Ping'an, you're not the captain of the Heaven Dou Second Team? What kind of strength does your captain have?"
Yang Ping'an just smiled and said, "You'll see later. If my older brother plays, the game is over."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of those around seemed to grow even more serious.
Some people at the scene seemed to have heard the news that when Yang Podi joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he had already reached level 35 at the age of twelve. That was seven years ago. Now, seven years later, he's probably at the Soul King realm. Is he still the same age?
The Heaven Dou Second Team has been hiding a Soul King all along, so how are the other teams supposed to compete? Could it be that they're really here for the finals?
Many teams have now received the news that the Golden Generation, which the Spirit Hall is currently praising, is gradually coming into view. According to the Spirit Hall, the Golden Generation has three Soul King, one at level 51 and two at level 52, and all of them are above level 45. Their Soul Power is simply overwhelming.
In the entire Heaven Dou Division, apart from Heaven Dou Second Team, only Tang San's Soul Power reached level 45. No other team had a Soul Power level above 45. Apart from Tang San, only Feng Xiaotian reached level 44. Even the highest Soul Power of other teams was only level 43. The captain's Soul Power was not as high as that of the ordinary members of the Spirit Hall Team.
The current Heaven Dou Second Team seems to have the strength to challenge the Spirit Hall Team. The Heaven Dou Second Team already has two known Soul King, plus the level 49 peak Dugu Yan, so there will probably be three Soul King by the time of the finals.
Unfortunately, the Heaven Dou Second Team still has three Soul Elder, which has drawn much criticism.
Of course, what was surprising was that Yang Tianyue, the Soul Elder of the second team, actually broke through to level 39 during the battle against the Heaven Dou Team One, fighting beyond his level. Through continuous battles with Yu Tianheng, Tai Long, and Tang San, he stunned countless people.
As one of the more outstanding members of the Heaven Dou Second Team, Yang Tianyue's information has gradually become known to everyone. At only thirteen years old, with the Martial Soul Breaking Spear and Innate Soul Power at level nine, he has already reached level thirty-nine. Considering his age, he can still participate in the next Soul Master Tournament, and perhaps even the Soul Master Tournament after that. Just how strong will he be then?
Currently, Yang Ping'an is known as the number one genius in the entire Heaven Dou Heaven Dou, Tang San is known as Heaven Dou second genius, and Yang Tianyue is even known as the third Heaven Dou. In everyone's eyes, these three can be said to have unlimited potential and are basically all potential Titled Douluo.
The Heaven Dou Second Team, in particular, stunned everyone. It seemed that those Soul Ancestor all had the potential to become Titled Douluo. Some people even doubted whether Ye Lingling would become a rare Support System Titled Douluo, something that only happens once every few hundred or even several thousand years.
Before everyone could react, the awards ceremony had already begun. What was unusual this time was that Xue Ye himself was presenting the awards; in the past, it was always the princes or the crown prince who were in charge.
After a passionate speech, the host finally announced, "Next, His Majesty, Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Bishop Salas Platinum Bishop will personally present the qualification certificates and prize money to the six teams that have advanced to the qualifying rounds."
The reward for advancing to the qualifiers is a notebook that clearly states the ranking of the advancing teams, along with the names of all team members, and a prize of 10,000 gold coins.
After the awards ceremony, the three presenters spoke.
The first to speak was, of course, Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Xue Ye took the microphone and said with a smile, "Children, first of all, congratulations! You have successfully qualified for the All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academy."
"As the supreme ruler of the Heaven Dou Empire, I am proud of you. You are all the hope for the future of the empire. As the captains and vice-captains of your respective teams, your strength has played a crucial role in the competition. Therefore, I have decided to confer upon you twelve the title of viscount, and the other participating students from your five academies the title of baron. After you graduate, the doors of the Imperial Household will be open to you at any time. Your fiefdoms will be allocated uniformly after your graduation."
Everyone could see that Xue Ye was in high spirits at this moment. After all, the first and second place in the Heaven Dou region were both from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy ( Heaven Dou Team One and Skywater Academy had the same score, so they were actually tied for second place, but they were ranked third because they lost to the Skywater Academy ). This was an unprecedented event, and Heaven Dou Royal Academy had never achieved such a good result before.
Of course, everyone present was speechless. Yang Podi from Heaven Dou Second Team hadn't played a single game in the entire preliminaries, so how did he end up playing such a crucial role in the match?
However, Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, seemed dissatisfied. "Your Majesty, isn't this inappropriate? Previous Soul Master Tournament didn't offer titles as rewards."
Xue Ye also seemed dissatisfied with Salas: " Your Platinum Bishop, the reward of titles is an internal matter of my Heaven Dou Empire and has nothing to do with the Spirit Hall."
Xue Ye continued addressing the crowd, "I hereby make a promise to all participating teams: if any of your teams achieves final victory, the entire team's title will be promoted by one level, and the academy's prefix will be changed to 'Royal,' receiving financial support from the Empire."
Everyone present seemed very interested. After all, according to the empire's regulations, as long as one is a viscount, one will have his own fiefdom, and the fiefdom will be at least a small city. If one wins the final victory and becomes Earl, the reward will be truly great. Earl's territory is very large, and one could even say that he has become a high-ranking official in the entire empire.
At this moment, the Platinum Bishop Salas had a very gloomy face and looked extremely ugly. Ning Fengzhi, on the other hand, maintained a smile throughout, as if he had known about Xue Ye's decision all along.
Xue Ye seemed to have more to say and continued, "The next qualifying round will be held in the Royal Enclosure. The top three students with the most wins in the qualifying round will be provided with the Soul Beast needed for their next advancement by the Empire. You can choose any type of Soul Beast; the Empire can guarantee Soul Beast under 30,000 years old."
When Xue Ye finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Yang Ping'an, the only Soul King in the Heaven Dou region. Although he didn't know how long it would take for Yang Ping'an to advance next time, the 30,000-year time limit seemed to have been specially prepared for him.
Everyone present seemed even more eager. They were all the ones with the highest Soul Power in their teams, and most of them had reached the Soul Ancestor realm. Their next Soul Ring was what they needed to break through to the Soul King.
In Yang Podi's eyes, and indeed in the eyes of everyone else, the Fifth Soul Ring was the most important of all Soul Ring Soul Ring, and also the most difficult to choose.
Any Soul Master with even a slight ambition will choose Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring for their Fifth Soul Ring. However, given the physical constitution of Soul Master, the selection range for Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring is very small, only between ten thousand and twelve thousand years. Even if the Soul Beast's age is high, it won't be much higher. This leads to many people not being able to find a suitable Soul Beast for their Fifth Soul Ring.
However, without a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring for the Fifth Soul Ring and without a suitable Soul Beast, it is virtually impossible to break through to the Titled Douluo, and even Soul Breaking Douluo is very rare.
The rewards from Xue Ye are incredibly tempting to many, especially Soul Master without powerful backers.
Next came the conversation between Salas and Ning Fengzhi, which consisted mostly of attempts to win them over, though not as blatantly as those of Xue Ye.
Yang Podi watched all this with a cold eye, knowing that the conflict between the two sides was becoming increasingly intense, especially after the Tang Hao incident. Unfortunately, Yang Podi never intended to get involved from beginning to end.
