Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Chapter 246 Spirit Hall Team's Debut
The first day of competition ended quickly, with all fifteen teams unfortunately losing and their journey in this tournament ending prematurely.

Normally, the losing team can leave early.

However, this year's competition was exceptionally exciting and featured an updated format.

These teams chose to stay in the stands and watch other teams compete, especially regarding the 2-2-3 formation. They needed to learn from these strategies to prepare for the next tournament.

Today, the top-ranked teams from the two major empire regions received a bye in the qualifying rounds.

Two tigers left, and three sharks came.

The three teams that qualified for the finals through direct entry will also make their debuts today.

With three strong teams joining the fray, the other teams were naturally terrified during the draw, fearing they would be drawn against formidable opponents and have their tournament journey cut short.

Today, all members of the Qibao team came to watch the matches, especially the match of the Wuhun Hall team.

With half the teams eliminated, today's schedule is relatively relaxed, unlike yesterday's tight schedule.

It's worth mentioning that Shrek Team's opponent today is Wind and Fire Team.

After losing Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang, the Feng Huo team's achievement of reaching the second round of the finals is quite remarkable.

This match was a ring match.

In the qualifying rounds, the Wind and Fire team was no match for the Shrek team. Not much time had passed, and even if their strength had improved, it was impossible for them to surpass the Shrek team's level.

Ultimately, without Tang San intervening, the Shrek Academy team defeated the Wind and Fire team 4-7.

Soon, it was the turn of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy team to make their debut.

After losing Yu Tianheng, their strength declined, forcing them to change their tactics.

Among them, Wu Qin, who was newly added, served as the main force protecting the back row, while the Shi Mo and Shi Mo brothers took on the role of the front row.

They adopted an impenetrable formation, relying entirely on Dugu Yan for all their damage output.

Since the poison was brought under control and she acquired the art of poison-based martial arts, Dugu Yan's strength has greatly increased.

In particular, her area-of-effect attacks are enough to support the entire team's damage output.

They were lucky enough to be drawn into the team battle, and their first opponent was from the Star Luo Empire, whose strength was ranked in the upper-middle range of the entire competition.

Relying on a solid formation and Dugu Yan's output, the Royal Fighting Team 1 won easily.

Having discerned their battle tactics, Wu Qi clicked his tongue in astonishment: "Isn't this just like the Iron Turtle?"

The Graphite and Millstone brothers in the front row possess the Xuanwu Turtle Martial Soul, making them extremely strong defensively, and it is very difficult for opponents to break through their defenses.

Because their formation is relatively close together, even if the opponent manages to break through the front line, they will be instantly focused down and killed.

If it were the Seven Treasures team, facing this formation for the first time, they would also find it difficult to deal with it for a while.

Feng Xiaotian laughed and said, "Captain, don't forget we also have wind attribute abilities."

"Dugu Yan's poisonous fog is indeed powerful, but it can't do anything to us."

"If an ironclad formation can't produce any damage, it's just like a turtle that's turned over, completely at the mercy of others."

Wu Qi nodded: "That's true, but we can't rule out that they have other tactics. We just hope we don't encounter them too soon."

……

Dugu Yan's Soul King strength was revealed, pushing the competition to its climax.

The Spirit Hall team has at least one Soul King, and there are three Soul King teams. This is a spectacle that has never been seen in the previous two tournaments.

Of course, this is undoubtedly another heavy blow to the Shrek team.

Although Yu Tianheng had anticipated that Dugu Yan's strength would break through rapidly, he did not expect her to break through to the Soul King level.

With Dugu Bo guiding him from behind, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul had already been developed to its fullest potential.

Moreover, none of them were wind-attribute soul masters, making it almost impossible for them to break through Dugu Yan's poisonous mist.

The only way to defeat Royal Fighting Team 1 is to eliminate them through a tournament before the round of six. They are at a disadvantage in team battles or 2-2-3 formations.

When it was Star Luo Royal Academy's turn to make their debut, they drew the 2-2-3 battle strategy.

Although there was no Soul King in the team, Zhu Zhuyun and Davis were incredibly strong and easily eliminated their opponents in the first match.

The other members of the team are also quite strong, especially the support-type Soul Master, whose Soul Skills are even more unpredictable.

Dai Mubai knew that this match would be crucial to the competition for the Star Luo throne, so he kept a close eye on every detail on the field.

The stronger the Star Luo Royal Academy's performance, the greater the pressure on him.

Meanwhile, Yu Tianheng was also keeping a close eye on the Thunder Academy team's matches.

……

"This competition has produced dozens of geniuses that are one in a century, a truly rare sight on the mainland."

"Who will ultimately become one of the top seven?"

The offering hall is equipped with a projection soul guide device, which can show the situation on the field in real time.

This year's finals featured nearly ten strong teams, all of whom would have had a chance to win the championship in previous years.

It is both fortunate and unfortunate that so many geniuses lived in the same era.

"Big brother, how are Changkong and the others?" As a retainer, Qianjun Douluo cannot easily leave the Hall of Respect.

As a grandfather, he couldn't help but ask further.

Qian Daoliu suddenly smiled, “Chang Kong’s performance yesterday was very impressive, but among this group of geniuses, he can only be ranked in the upper-middle level, not in the top tier.”

The two retainers, Qianjun and Jiangmo, exchanged a smile.

Don't forget, Qian Gu Chang Kong is only fourteen years old. At such a young age, he can already be ranked in the upper-middle tier among so many geniuses. His talent is not to be underestimated.

But Wu Qi was also fourteen years old.

In Qian Daoliu's view, however, he was a strong contender for the title of number one genius.

"The Spirit Hall Academy team is in the competition," Qian Daoliu said softly.

The worshippers stopped discussing and focused intently on the battle.

The Spirit Hall team drew the arena match, and Xie Yue was the first to appear.

The Moon Blade Twin Blades eliminate opponents at lightning speed.

This is not a six-to-three competition, so there will only be one competition format. Xie Yue doesn't care about the consumption of soul power and his fighting style is extremely fierce.

In just a few minutes, four opponents had already been eliminated.

Afterwards, due to excessive consumption of soul power, the attack speed slowed down considerably, but it was still able to eliminate the opponent.

He continued until he had defeated six opponents in a row, at which point his opponents could not withstand the pressure and chose to surrender.

Although the Hall of Offerings and the Papal Palace are at odds, it must be admitted that Xie Yue's talent and combat strength are enough to qualify him as a top genius.

Hu Liena was valued by Bibi Dong only because she was a woman and possessed special mental abilities. Otherwise, she might not have been able to compare to Xie Yue.

Azure Phoenix Douluo sighed, "It's a pity. Little Wu is too young. If he were the same age as Xie Yue, his strength..."

In the finals, Wu Qi did not have any outstanding performances, and based on previous battle reports, it was impossible to know his specific strength.

Qian Daoliu shook his head. "No. If Xiao Wu were really that easy to deal with, the Papal Palace wouldn't have gone to such lengths to gather information about him."

"Xiaoxue's eyes don't lie; his personal strength is very likely to surpass that of Hu Liena and the other two."

As he spoke, he looked at Qingluan Douluo and said, "Third brother, go and contact Xiao Wu later."

"They represent the Hall of Worship. If they can win the championship, those three soul bones will not fall into Bibi Dong's hands."
