Douluo: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, Hundred Years of Glory

Chapter 86: The Spirit Hall's Appearance
The auction of Tiandou City was just a small episode before the start of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition.

As time went by, the grand ceremony of the Elite Soul Master Competition of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy finally arrived. This grand event of the soul master world, jointly held by the royal families of the two empires of the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire and assisted by the Wuhun Hall, was not only large in scale, but also brought together the top young soul masters from all over the continent.

Although the Spirit Hall was nominally only assisting in the handling of the event, as its power grew, the Spirit Hall had actually become more like the organizer of the competition. In particular, the final stage of the competition was held in the Spirit City, which undoubtedly further demonstrated the status of the Spirit Hall in the spirit master world.

Students from participating colleges must be under the age of 25, and there must be seven participants in each game. This not only tests the college's teaching staff and the overall strength of the students, but also ensures the diversity and viewing value of the competition.

At the same time, the competition emphasizes friendly exchanges and avoiding injuries to opponents as much as possible, which not only reflects the martial arts spirit of the soul master community, but also shows the humanistic care of the competition. In the fierce competition, soul masters must not only show their strength and skills, but also learn to respect their opponents and cherish every opportunity to communicate and exchange.

The rules of the competition are strict and fair, ensuring a certain degree of fairness and complete security in the competition.

The fundamental purpose of the two empires and the Spirit Hall jointly hosting the Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Spirit Master Competition is not to determine the winner, but to discover and select outstanding spirit master talents through this platform. These talents are not only the pride of the major academies, but also the future and hope of the spirit master world. Therefore, protecting their growth and development is the primary task of hosting the competition.

It is not easy to train a soul master. It not only requires a lot of time and energy, but also good talent and opportunities. With a limited number of soul masters in the continent, every soul master is a valuable resource. Therefore, the rule prohibiting killing opponents is actually a kind of protection for soul masters, preventing them from suffering unnecessary harm in the competition.

In addition to the prohibition of death and rigid rules, the competition also has some standardized rules.

For example, it is forbidden to use medicine or food that is not made by food and healing spirit masters. This rule prevents teams from gaining advantages through improper means. At the same time, it also emphasizes the important role of food and healing spirit masters in the game. They must occupy a place on the field to provide necessary supplies and support.

In the competition, soul masters need to give full play to their strength and wisdom, and at the same time learn to cooperate with teammates to face challenges together. This experience not only exercises their personal abilities, but also cultivates their teamwork spirit and competitive consciousness.

Regarding the rule that no weapons other than martial spirits can be used. The battle between soul masters is a contest between martial spirits and soul power. Using weapons other than martial spirits will undoubtedly break this balance and make the competition lose its original meaning. Therefore, this rule has been widely recognized and supported.

Although there are many advanced soul master academies in the two empires, each academy has a share of the competition.

The two empires' respective official high-level spirit master academies took up two shares, which was both a respect for the royal families of the two empires and a recognition of the strength of the two academies. Among them, the rule that the home team directly advanced to the finals further demonstrated the importance and expectations of the royal family for the two academies.

However, the setting of the secondary team is somewhat interesting. Although they also occupy a share of the competition, they are actually more like a showpiece set up to give face to the nobles. Compared with the main team, the secondary team often has a big gap in strength. They mostly participate in the preliminaries to add some excitement and highlights to the official competition.

The division of the preliminaries is to make it easier to organize and conduct the competition. In the Tiandou Empire, with Tiandou City as the center, all high-level soul master academies that do not belong to other kingdoms and principalities will hold preliminaries in the Tiandou City division. This arrangement not only saves time and resources, but also makes it easier for each academy to participate and for the audience to watch.

The advanced soul master academies of each kingdom and principality held preliminary rounds according to the national divisions. This arrangement not only reflected the distinctions between countries, but also ensured that each country had the opportunity to show its soul master strength. The Tiandou Empire had four kingdoms and one principality, plus the Tiandou City division, a total of six preliminary divisions.

Each division has a certain number of qualifying spots, ensuring that outstanding soul master teams from all regions have the opportunity to enter the next stage of the competition.

The Tiandou City Division has many high-level spirit master academies and is directly under the Empire, so there are relatively more places to qualify. This is mainly to highlight the status of the Tiandou royal family.

After the qualifiers, 30 soul master teams will eventually enter the finals. Before that, there is a promotion match waiting for them. The purpose of the promotion match is to conduct a ranking match for the teams that have entered the finals to determine their order of appearance in the finals.

The competition system of the qualifiers and the promotion matches is different. The qualifiers are conducted in a team battle format, using a single round-robin system. The team with the highest winning points in each qualifier division enters the promotion match. This competition system not only tests the overall strength and coordination ability of the team, but also ensures the fairness and impartiality of the competition. The promotion match will be conducted in a special way, which undoubtedly adds a sense of mystery and expectation to the competition.

Although the participating teams still sent out seven students from their respective academies, they faced off one by one. The winning team's soul master would continue to stay on the field, and the losing team would continue to send soul master students to the field until all the students on one side failed.

In view of this, this qualifier can be said to be the best match to showcase the team's strength, while the promotion round is the stage to display individual strength.

The reason why there is a promotion competition is to allow the top management of the two empires and Wuhun Palace to better identify some particularly outstanding young soul masters from these participating students, screen them, and win over them.

There will be a total of thirty-three participating teams in the finals of the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, and they will draw lots for a brutal knockout round.

This extra team is the Wuhun Academy team. Like the two official senior Soul Master Academy home teams, it will directly participate in the finals. And this is the appearance of Wuhun Palace.

The team of the Spirit Hall can also be said to be the most competitive team. Although the Spirit Hall is not a high-level soul master academy, they also have their own educational institution specially established to train soul masters, the Spirit High-level Academy.
