In the thirteenth round,
after the previous six matches,
the match between Blue Tyrant Academy and Divine Wind Academy, as the highlight, was held last.
The result was predictable:
Blue Tyrant Academy achieved a thirteen-game winning streak, while
Divine Wind Academy's winning streak came to an end.
On the final day of the competition,
Blue Tyrant Academy's opponent chose to forfeit.
Thus,
Blue Tyrant Academy's qualifying rounds concluded.
Fourteen matches, fourteen consecutive wins.
Among all fifteen teams, Blue Tyrant Academy ranked first, achieving the best ranking in the Heaven Dou Empire's division.
Blue Tyrant Academy successively defeated strong teams like Blazing Fire Academy, Plant Academy, Heavenly Water Academy, Thunder Academy, and Divine Wind Academy,
proving their formidable strength with absolute results.
The title of the strongest academy team in the Heaven Dou Empire was now firmly established.
...
The competition ended.
Emperor Xue Ye undoubtedly gave another inspiring and motivating speech.
Next, the finals would soon begin.
That would be the real battle to determine who was the strongest academy on the continent.
As an emperor…
Emperor Xue Ye certainly couldn't leave Heaven Dou City without permission, nor could his health permit it.
After his speech,
Emperor Xue Ye immediately announced that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe would represent him as the Heaven Dou Empire's envoy to participate in the judging of this competition.
The fifteen teams from the Heaven Dou Empire would be personally accompanied by
the Crown Prince to Wuhun City, located at the border of the two empires, for the final competition.
The final competition would be hosted by the Spirit Hall.
During this period, each team would only have three days to adjust.
Three days later, a total of fifteen teams, along with their teachers and five hundred Royal Knights soldiers, a group of over a thousand people, set off for the final competition venue…
Wuhun City!
Originally, the final competition was not to be held in Wuhun City, but for some reason, the Spirit Hall suddenly made a change.
They placed this year's final competition in the Spirit Hall's main city.
This city almost entirely belonged to the Spirit Hall.
Located at the border of the two empires, it was not even owned by either of the two empires.
Most importantly,
the Papal Palace, one of the two most prestigious halls of the Spirit Hall, is located in Spirit City.
This newly built Papal Palace is hailed as the most magnificent building in the entire Douluo Continent.
Spirit City has become a holy land for all spirit masters because of this newly built Papal Palace, a
place the Spirit Hall has established for itself, much like a capital city. The journey
from Heaven Dou City to Spirit City
takes about twenty days. Although Ye Qiu possesses divine power and can travel directly there,
he cannot leave Qian Renxue behind.
Liu Erlong and the other girls naturally follow Ye Qiu as well.
The final competition is not very long,
as it is entirely an elimination tournament.
A total of thirty-three teams will be decided in less than ten days.
The Spirit Hall attaches great importance to this final competition.
During the qualifying rounds, Spirit City has already specially designated a place as the venue for the final competition of this year's All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament.
At the same time, Spirit City has also issued a decree that
during the competition, non-spirit masters are not allowed to enter to watch the matches.
Even nobles are not allowed.
This added an extra layer of mystery to the final competition.
The common people weren't dissatisfied with the Spirit Hall's decree.
After all,
Spirit Masters were already a high-ranking figure to the common people,
and the Spirit Hall was their sacred temple and holy land.
Who dared to say anything outside the Spirit Hall when the Pope himself issued the decree?
A group of over a thousand people set off in a grand procession.
Although each academy acted independently,
they all represented the Heaven Dou Empire.
Compared to the preliminary and qualifying rounds, the tension was much lower.
Especially the academies with closer ties
traveled together.
Blue Tyrant Academy remained the most watched,
but those less powerful academies were unwilling to approach them. The
Four Elements Academy, however, was different.
Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Shui Yue'er, and Meng Yiran frequently bothered Ye Qiu.
Occasionally, even Shui Bing'er would come over.
To allow the participating team members to rest better, the Heaven Dou Empire specially commissioned fifteen luxurious giant carriages for
them to ride and rest.
These carriages even utilized some basic soul tool technology, boasting excellent shock absorption.
The ride was incredibly smooth.
Of course, these were the most rudimentary soul tool technologies passed down throughout the Douluo Continent.
The Crown Prince's carriage was naturally far more luxurious.
Ye Qiu, using his divine power, frequently went there to freeload or hang out at Qian Renxue's door.
Meanwhile, in the Blue Tyrant Academy's carriage,
at night, it was a scene of utter debauchery.
Amidst a sea of flowers, Ye Qiu was the only green, easily touched by a simple turn or reach.
The Blue Tyrant Academy students were indeed enjoying a very comfortable time, spending
most of their days cultivating in the carriages.
During this period,
Zhu Zhuqing successfully broke through to the Soul King realm.
Ye Qiu set off under the cover of night, taking Zhu Zhuqing to the Star Dou Great Forest.
They found Er Ming and quickly hunted down a 42,000-year-old soul beast,
obtaining his fifth soul skill, Netherworld Shadow Link.
Nine afterimages appear during the attack, each afterimage's power decreasing by 10%. If hit by even one afterimage or the main body, there's no way to dodge the other nine attacks! She
also obtained a right leg bone primarily for speed.
After absorbing it,
Zhu Zhuqing was already a level 53 Soul King!
The other members of the Blue Tyrant Academy team
also made breakthroughs.
