Douluo: Soul Breaking Spear

Chapter 151 Wuhun City

After twenty days of traveling, everyone finally arrived at Wuhun City, the venue of the finals.

All the soldiers did not follow into Wuhun City, but stationed outside Wuhun City. Crown Prince Xue Qinghe led sixteen teams and entered Wuhun City together.

Although Wuhun City does not look as large as Tiandou City, it is extremely magnificent.

The wall of Wuhun City is eighty meters high and more than thirty meters thick. Especially its location does not seem to be built directly on flat ground. Instead, it looks like a mountain was flattened and built on the mountain. In terms of the degree of danger alone, it is probably far superior to Tiandou City.

Moreover, unlike other major cities, ordinary cities use soldiers as patrol teams, but Wuhun City actually uses soul masters for patrols, and they all wear the same uniform and look extremely strong. According to Yang Podi's own estimation, the patrolling soldiers are mainly soul lords, with some soul kings or soul emperors, and even the occasional soul saint.

When Yang Podi saw the tall city, the solid defenses, and the powerful patrol team, he couldn't help but exclaimed: The Spirit Hall is worthy of being the holy land of spirit masters, and it is worthy of being the most powerful spirit master organization in the entire continent. Its strength is indeed far beyond imagination.

After careful observation, it was discovered that the hexagonal Wuhun City was actually built around a hill. On this hill, there were two very eye-catching buildings. The building on the hillside was the most magnificent. Even from such a distance, it was clear that it was a completely column-type structure with a dome. The facade of the building was covered with golden material, which shone brightly under the sunlight. There should be the Pope's Palace, and of course the so-called Elders' Palace. These two palaces controlled the development of the entire Wuhun Palace.

In order to become an elder of the Spirit Hall, with very few exceptions, one must basically reach the Titled Douluo level.

The other building was on the top of the hill. It was much smaller than the Pope's Palace, only about one-third the size. The building structure was somewhat similar, but the facade was as white as jade. It was far less eye-catching than the Pope's Palace. According to Yang Podi's guess, that should be the so-called Douluo Palace, and even the entire Angel Temple, which was also the highest symbol of the entire Wuhun Palace.

After the group entered Wuhun City, it didn't seem as lively as Tiandou City, but the shops and people there were very impressive. The main items sold in the shops were soul master supplies, including various types of soul guides, soul beast corpses, and even some valuable parts of soul beasts, including rhino horns, soul beast skins, etc. They had everything.

The people walking in Wuhun City are basically soul masters, and ordinary people are rarely seen.

Since entering the Wuhun City, the whole body, the Wuhun, and even the soul seem to have changed a little. It seems that there is a kind of reverence for God, and a little more piety. This is probably because the power of the Angel God covers the entire Wuhun City. The power of the Angel God seems to be completely different from the Slaughter City. If the Slaughter City is full of blood and killing, the power of the Angel God seems to have some kind of purification power. I am afraid that practicing under the power of the Angel God will make the soul master's thoughts more unobstructed and people more open-minded.

After entering Wuhun City, they were received by a cardinal. Under the leadership of the cardinal, the group of more than 200 people were arranged in a larger hotel.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, Grandpa Yang Wudi and Grandpa Niu Gao looked at each other, nodded slightly, and left together.

One of the purposes of the two coming to Wuhun City this time was to receive the title of Titled Douluo.

The two first came to the Pope's Palace and seemed to have communicated with Pope Bibi Dong. Then, under the leadership of Bibi Dong, they went to the Douluo Palace together to receive the canonization in the Douluo Palace.

When the two returned to the hotel, they took Yang Podi, Niu Mang and Dugu Bo directly into the room.

Yang Podi looked at the expressions of the two men and felt that something seemed to be wrong with them. They were much more serious than when they first arrived.

Yang Wudi and Niu Gao both smiled bitterly, then each took out a golden book of enthronement and a papal decree from their pockets.

The Golden Book contains the specific information of two people, including their martial spirits and spirit powers, but what on earth is this Pope's Order? Normally, the Pope's Order would not be issued for the canonization of a Titled Douluo.

According to what was written in the golden book, my grandfather Yang Wudi was titled Soul-Breaking Douluo, and my grandfather Niu Gao was titled Plate Armor Douluo. One represents powerful attack, and the other represents defense like plate armor.

Yang Wudi was silent for a while before he slowly spoke: "Normally, the Pope's Order would not be issued, but Old Rhino and I no longer belong to the top three sects. We both have our own forces and families. The Pope specially asked someone to create these two Pope's Orders, which can be regarded as a symbol of one side's power."

Yang Podi's face changed slightly when he heard this: "This Pope Bibi Dong is really scheming. He wants to use a mere Pope's Order to put us in the same predicament as the three upper sects. This can be considered as a provocation."

"Grandpa, Grandpa, why don't you two refuse?"

Yang Wudi shook his head: "Although this thing is hot, we have to accept it. In fact, this is also Bibi Dong testing our attitude. If we don't accept it, I'm afraid she will think that we still have various connections with the upper three sects. Taking this Pope's Order can also be regarded as a way to cut ties with the Haotian Sect."

Yang Podi thought about it carefully before speaking: "Grandpa, grandpa, this is not a big deal. We have our own plans anyway. As long as it does not conflict with our own plans, it will be fine. Anyway, no one takes the Pope's order seriously now."

Grandfather Niu Gao also nodded: "Old Goat and I think so too. No matter if he is trying to stir up trouble or not, we will stay away from him and will not interfere in the mess of Haotian Sect and Wuhun Hall anymore."

After everyone arrived at Wuhun City, they had three days of rest before the finals were about to be held. Teacher Li Xiang also explained the rules of the finals in detail to everyone, including some specific matters of the finals.

The rules of the finals are very simple. The first stage is all knockouts, the winners advance and the losers are eliminated. The competition process is very intense, with only one day of rest between each round.

There are a total of thirty-three teams, including the two empires and the Spirit Hall. Among them, there are fifteen teams from the Star Luo Empire, sixteen teams from the Tiandou Empire, plus the teams recommended by the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall.

The two guaranteed teams plus the first place in the Tiandou regional promotion tournament, three teams will have byes in the first round. The remaining thirty teams will draw lots for one-on-one matches, and half will be eliminated directly, leaving a total of eighteen teams to enter the next round.

In the second round, the second place in the Tiandou regional qualifying tournament and the first place in the Xingluo Empire qualifying tournament will have a bye, and the remaining teams will continue to draw one-on-one.

As a result, a total of ten teams entered the third round.

The teams that had a bye in the third round were the second place in the promotion match of the Xingluo Empire and the third place in the promotion match of the Tiandou Empire. A total of six teams entered the fourth round.

If a team is eliminated early, all teams with byes will be postponed.

In the fourth round, teams that did not have a bye will compete directly in a one-on-one match to determine the final top three.

After four rounds of eliminations, three teams entered the fifth round.

After the fourth round, there will be a three-day break. In the fifth and final round, only three teams will enter the competition. The three teams will first use the promotion match to eliminate seven players each to determine the team with the strongest individual strength. Then the two losing teams will have a team battle, and the winner will challenge the winner of the previous individual competition to determine the final champion.

As the first place in the Tiandou Empire promotion tournament, Tiandou Team 2 had a bye in the first round and could only officially play in the second round.

Yang Podi looked at everyone in the team and seemed more serious than before: "You should also know that Grandpa Yang Wudi and Grandpa Niu Gao have just been canonized as Titled Douluo. From now on, at least on the surface, our family will be considered a big force. I want to win the championship in the finals and celebrate for them."

"So starting from the first game of the finals, I will play, but you can't take it lightly. This finals can only be won and not lost."

"Everyone should probably know that the reward for the finals champion is three soul bones. Let me say one last thing. For the sake of the family, I want the soul bones, but I want the championship even more. And I am determined to win it."

After hearing this, everyone became much more serious. This Soul Master Competition was no longer just about individuals, but more about the two major families.

In fact, Yang Podi did not say it, but ever since they came into contact with the two Pope's orders, the attitudes of the Po clan and the Yu clan towards the Spirit Hall have become very clear, and even their attitudes towards the three upper sects have become very clear. From now on, the two major families are independent forces, and will no longer be dependent on any sect, nor will they become affiliated forces of any sect.

As a large sect, winning the Soul Master Competition is a way of announcing to the world and a display of future strength.

And now that things have come to this, instead of continuing to retreat and endure, it is better to move forward.

There was nothing particularly outstanding in the first round of the finals. Among the thirty teams, except for the Tiandou team, no other team had more than four Soul Masters, and there were basically no Soul Masters with a Soul Power of level 45.

The Tiandou region also demonstrated its strength, with all four teams advancing to the next round, making the official staff of the Tiandou Empire, led by Xue Qinghe, all smiles.

The only thing that was a bit surprising was that the Kamikaze Academy and the Blazing Academy actually formed the so-called New Kamikaze Force, just like in the original work.

But in Yang Podi's eyes, this is the so-called new Kamikaze Team, which is not good enough at all. The two teams together have only four Soul Masters, and Feng Xiaotian, who has the highest soul power, is only level 44.

In the original novel, they were dissatisfied with Tang San's Shrek Academy and felt that the two teams would have a chance of winning if they combined. However, with the current strength of Tiandou Team One and Tiandou Team Two, even if the two teams combined, they probably would not have much chance of winning. So what was the point in combining?
In the second round of the competition, Tiandou Team 2 was officially ready to take the field. To everyone's surprise, the opponent Tiandou Team 2 drew was actually this new Kamikaze team, which surprised everyone.

Under normal circumstances, it would be rare for strong teams to meet so early in the draw. However, this newly formed Kamikaze Team met the Tendou II Team, which was considered to be the favorite.

Yang Podi couldn't help but sneer: It seems that the Spirit Hall also wants to test my strength, otherwise they would not allow the Divine Wind Academy and the Blazing Fire Academy to regroup. I just don't know if they have any other countermeasures after I have demonstrated my strength.
