Chapter 205 The Finals Begins
Chapter 206 The Finals Begins
……
Three days passed in a flash. For the finals of the Elite Competition of Advanced Soul Masters of the Continent, Wuhun City specially opened up a special venue. This venue is located in the center of Wuhun City. The huge arena is 100 meters in diameter and is completely repaired with granite.
On this huge competition stage, a large number of soul guides are also used to reinforce it to prevent damage.
According to the information given by the Wuhun Hall, this venue is enough to withstand any attack from Soul Saint-level soul masters without damage.
Right in front of this competition stage is the Pope's Palace. From here, it is less than a kilometer away from the hill where the Pope's Palace is located. The Wuhun Hall has announced in the notice that the final three will compete in front of the Pope's Palace.
At that time, the Pope will appear in person and crown the final champion, which is an unparalleled honor for any soul master.
And this time the championship reward has been announced. The Soul Master Academy team that wins the championship in the finals can get three pieces of ten thousand-year-level top-grade soul bones as a reward.
Because they knew the reward, all the academies were very motivated. After all, who wouldn't want a ten-thousand-year-old top-grade soul bone?
Knowing this news was undoubtedly good for Oscar. After all, he, Dugu Yan, and Ma Hongjun had not made any moves, in order to prevent Bibi Dong from changing the reward.
Now that the reward has been announced, there is no possibility of change. After all, this is the reward announced by the Pope himself, and it is also related to the face of the Spirit Hall.
And then again, the reason why Bibi Dong still uses three soul bones as a reward is nothing more than an affirmation of the strength of the Spirit Hall Academy now. After all, they have one more trump card than the original, the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill.
Early in the morning, all the participating academies came to the competition venue under the guidance of the Spirit Hall's special personnel. Each academy has a separate rest area built around the competition venue.
On the side opposite to the Pope's Palace is the VIP judging seat, where the high-level representatives of the two empires come to watch the game, of course, including the high-level people of the Spirit Hall.
Before the game started, except for the three seeded teams that had a bye in the first round, the leaders of all the other participating colleges had to draw lots to decide their opponents today.
As expected, this time a dramatic scene appeared again. Just like the original, Chihuo College actually gave up the first round of competition, or they gave up the chance to compete for the championship in the finals.
Because the finals are completely an elimination system, losing means there is no chance.
And the opponent of Chihuo College in the first round was Shrek College, so Shrek College won the first round so dramatically.
It won before the game even started.
And not only that, because Shrek College was the first in the promotion match of the Tiandou Division, they also had a bye in the second round. It can be said that they advanced directly to the third round without any pressure.
This means that they can save more energy to deal with the strong teams that stay later.
And this is exactly what Oscar hopes for, so that they can retain more strength and expose as few cards as possible.
After all, the teams that can advance to the finals are basically the elite among the elites.
However, Oscar soon noticed the key point, because the Blazing Academy was the same as the original work. Huo Wu brought people from the Blazing Academy to join the Divine Wind Academy and became students of the Divine Wind Academy. It can be said that the loopholes of the competition were firmly grasped.
After all, the competition did not stipulate that any student could not withdraw from his own academy midway and then join other academies.
This time, the Blazing Academy did this not only to defeat the previously invincible Shrek Academy, but also to hit the championship in one fell swoop and get the three soul bones as rewards.
The strength of the Wuhun Hall Academy is as strong as expected every year, but this time Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian joined forces, and they also had a sense of determination to win the championship.
After all, relying on the Blazing Academy alone, they might not even be able to enter the top five, so they simply joined forces with Feng Xiaotian, so that they still have a chance to compete for the championship!
So in the first round of the competition, a new Divine Wind stood out and became the first team in the competition with all members above the Soul Sect level among the 30 academies that appeared.
Because the Blazing Academy admitted defeat, Shrek Academy did not make a move at all, and no one knew the true strength of Shrek Academy now.
In addition, there is another academy that has attracted the attention of all the people in Shrek Academy, because the name of this academy is Lingyu Academy.
Although this Lingyu Academy comes from Xingluo Empire, the martial spirits of their players have made everyone in Shrek Academy look at Oscar.
In the tenth game of the first round of the finals, Lingyu Academy played against Dokaton Academy. The players of Lingyu Academy were:
Zhao Lei, martial spirit: Mighty King Kong Bear, 48th level strong attack system battle spirit sect.
Lu Qi, martial spirit: Xingluo Chess, 47th level control system battle spirit sect.
Li Song, martial spirit: Dragon Pattern Stick, 46th level strong attack system battle spirit sect.
Shao Yan, martial spirit: Tangdou, 45th level auxiliary system soul sect.
Yang Fan, martial spirit: Soul Breaking Spear, 39th level strong attack system battle spirit master.
Niu Ben, martial spirit: Plate Armor Giant Rhino, 38th level defense system battle spirit master.
Bai Chenxiang, martial spirit: Sharp-tailed Swift, 34th level agile attack system battle spirit master.
At first glance, these seven members have no problems at all, and their overall strength can be ranked among the top in all soul master academies, but those who are interested can see the difference.
Others saw the martial spirits of the three soul masters, three of the four single-attribute clans that were once affiliated with the Haotian Sect.
They gathered together, which meant that another strong soul master force was gathered, which surprised everyone.
And the people in Shrek Academy who knew about it looked at Oscar at the same time. Except for the three soul masters Yang Fan, Niu Ben and Bai Chenxiang, why are the martial spirits of the others so familiar?
And Li Song's first soul ring is white, which is too intriguing, right?
Ma Hongjun pulled Oscar's arm: "Boss, I didn't expect that you actually secretly set up a Lingyu Academy? Are you trying to help us deal with the Wuhun Hall Academy?"
Hearing this, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San and others all looked over with curiosity, looking forward to Oscar's answer.
After all, no one knows the true origin of Lingyu Academy better than them. Isn't this what Oscar made with the clone sausage and the copy sausage? And the martial spirits are all from Vice President Zhao Wuji and the former teachers of Shrek Academy.
It is possible that this is not the full strength of Lingyu Academy, after all, the martial spirits of Flanders and Liu Erlong have not appeared yet!
Hearing Ma Hongjun's words, Oscar pinched Dugu Yan's soft hand and smiled slightly: "You think too much, this academy is also for the championship, your final opponents are not only the three seeded teams and the New Kamikaze Academy, but also them."
"If you are defeated by other academies, then I can only understand that your training is not enough, and I will continue to keep you and then conduct devil training."
"If you can make it to the finals, then Lingyu Academy is the final test for you. Since you know that they are all my clones, you should understand that I will not hold back."
Hearing Oscar's words, everyone suddenly felt that their eyes were dark. One Oscar was so difficult to deal with, and now there are seven?
Although everyone in Lingyu Academy has different martial spirits, they are very clear about Oscar's abilities. Perhaps... this Lingyu Academy is their biggest enemy.
And the surprises are not over yet, because the three seeded teams in the second round have also appeared.
First of all, the most powerful Wuhun Hall Academy, they actually have three soul kings and four soul masters, such a lineup is not weaker than Shrek Academy.
After all, according to Oscar's words, he and Dugu Yan will hardly have the possibility of taking action, and this finals is a test for Ma Hongjun and others.
In addition to the Wuhun Hall Academy, Xingluo Royal Academy and Tiandou Royal Academy are all soul masters, and their strength is not much worse than that of the current New Shenfeng Academy.
If it weren't for the combination of Chihuo Academy and Shenfeng Academy, they really might not be able to enter the top five in the face of such a terrifying lineup in this final.
However, what Oscar is most concerned about is Tiandou Royal Academy. After all, Dugu Yan, the sister in the original work, is now in Shrek Academy. Where will they get a soul master?
Although these three seeded teams won by crushing the opponent as soon as they appeared, and did not show their true strength to outsiders, Oscar still noticed the member of Tiandou Royal Academy who replaced Dugu Yan.
Her martial spirit should be similar to a dragon, and her behavior is very close to Yu Tianheng, the captain of Tiandou Royal Academy and the direct descendant of the Blue Dot Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect.
I think she should be his current girlfriend.
The weaker teams were eliminated in the first two rounds of the competition. Starting from the third round, the remaining ten teams are all truly strong teams, and they all have at least three strong soul masters.
The six teams of Wuhun Hall Academy, Xingluo Royal Academy, Tiandou Royal Academy, New Shenfeng Academy, Lingyu Academy and Shrek Academy are the strongest among them. The championship is likely to be decided from these six teams.
In the third round, New Shenfeng Academy and Holy Land Academy were byes, and the remaining eight teams drew lots to decide their opponents.
It seems that it was destined that Shrek Academy's opponent is Xingluo Royal Academy.
In the second round of the competition, although the strength of Xingluo Royal Academy was not fully exposed, it was known that they were also all Soul Sect members, and the captain Davis and the vice-captain Zhu Zhuyun had reached level 49 and 47 respectively.
If the two royal academies were compared, the strength of Xingluo Royal Academy was even higher than that of Tiandou Royal Academy, because the captain of Tiandou Royal Academy, Yu Tianheng, was only level 44 now.
After drawing this opponent, everyone in Shrek Academy focused on Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, who did not hide their identities like in the original work.
Therefore, everyone familiar with the iron-blooded system of the Xingluo Empire knew very well that this time against Xingluo Royal Academy was not just a simple game, but also a battle for survival for Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.
By defeating their brothers and sisters in this grand event that the whole continent was paying attention to, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing would get more support from ministers, princes and nobles, and thus gain an absolute advantage in the position of the crown prince in the future.
This may not be the last fight, but it is definitely the most important one.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing noticed everyone's concerned eyes, Dai Mubai just smiled slightly: "Brothers, don't worry, I am no longer the Dai Mubai of the past. In this battle, Zhuqing and I will use our true strength to resolve the grudge between Davis and me."
Dai Mubai held Zhu Zhuqing's little hand tightly, his eyes full of brilliance: "Let's start all over again, and we will reshuffle the cards in today's battle. After all, being old may not be suitable for being a prince!"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai with joy in her eyes. In this life, his fiancé is a man who stands tall and upright!
Dai Mubai stretched out his right hand: "Brothers, please take care of this battle today."
Everyone stretched out their right hands and bumped their fists: "We must win!"
Under the announcement of the host, the Shrek Academy team and the Xingluo Royal Academy team boarded the fighting spirit stage.
This is the first time Shrek has appeared in the finals. The Blazing Academy conceded in the first round and had a bye in the second round. Shrek Academy entered the third round effortlessly.
In the eyes of other colleges, Shrek College is not only strong, but also very lucky.
But now the luck seems to have run out.
Shrek College is indeed strong, with Dai Mubai, a level 55 soul king, and several soul masters, but the strength of Xingluo Royal College is well known.
In the past, Xingluo Royal College would only be defeated by Wuhun Hall College, and even defeated Wuhun Hall College and won the championship.
No one would think that Shrek College would lose, but no one would think that Shrek College would have much chance of winning.
Xingluo Royal College has used several competitions to build their reputation and strength. Today's battle can be called a fight between dragons and tigers.
However, the captain and vice-captain of Shrek College have never appeared. The Five Elements College and other colleges in the Tiandou Division are aware of this. They also want to see whether the two captains who came on stage to receive the award really want to have strength or deliberately use it to bluff people.
What was surprising was that two of the seven members of the Shrek Academy team had indeed been replaced, but they were not the captain and vice-captain Oscar and Dugu Yan that they had seen at the beginning, but two people who had always been almost invisible in Shrek Academy.
"Handling newcomers? How is that possible? This is the finals. In the cruel elimination system, any college team only has one chance. If they lose, they will miss the championship. How could Shrek College be so stupid?"
"I said that the captain and vice-captain of Shrek College must be bluffing, right? Otherwise, why haven't they played yet?"
"The captain and vice-captain of Shrek College may be fake, but the two who replaced them should not be too weak. They are probably the hidden soul masters of Shrek College."
"If that's the case, with one soul king and six soul masters, Shrek College is bound to win the championship."
"Maybe Shrek College can really continue its previous unbeaten record and defeat Xingluo Royal College!"
………
People from other colleges who knew about it had different opinions, but Dai Mubai's eyes were only fixed on a tall man in the opponent's camp who also had a blond cape, with a sharp look in his eyes.
