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

Chapter 255 Grand Finals Opening Ceremony
Feng Xiaotian smiled and said, "We all live in Tiandou City, and we will definitely return to the academy in five years."

"Captain, where are you guys?"

Both Qian Gu Chang Kong and Wu Qi are members of the Spirit Hall. Whether they can return to Heaven Dou City in five years is still unknown.

Chen Ping's family is not wealthy, and he will definitely have to earn money to support his family after graduation.

Wu Qi smiled and said, "Chang Kong and I are fine. Master and the other grandfathers won't stop us from meeting."

"Chen Ping, what do you have to say?"

Chen Ping longed for the title bestowed by Emperor Xueye. For an ordinary person like him, becoming a count represented a leap in social class. However, he also did not want to give up the opportunity to be with Wu Qi.

It's important to know that following a top genius will undoubtedly bring many benefits in the future.

"Captain, I want to cultivate with you." He lowered his head as he spoke, afraid that the other party would refuse.

Wu Qi suddenly smiled and said, "Alright, you can stay with us and keep us company."

"But you'd better think it over. Our upcoming training environment will be quite dangerous, and you might perish."

Although obtaining the title of earl would allow him to enjoy a comfortable life, it was not what he wanted.

Or rather, he was extremely greedy.

If he can become a Title Douluo, his title will be far more than just Earl; he might even become a Duke.

Of course, when that time comes, he will definitely choose to serve as an elder of the Spirit Hall, rather than a retainer of the Heaven Dou Empire.

"In that case, everyone should keep an eye on the time. We'll meet at the academy in five years," Feng Xiaotian said with a smile.

"When we were at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the senior students from the previous year served as our sparring partners. So, five years from now, let's have the job of being the sparring partners for the academy's teams?"

Wu Qi smiled and agreed, but he knew that there would be no more Soul Master Competitions for the next ten years or so.

Bibi Dong's ambitions clashed rapidly, and Golden Crocodile Douluo admitted that he was no match for her.

After the Soul Master Competition ends, everything will continue to develop according to the original future timeline.

Huo Wulang laughed and said, "We'd better work hard to cultivate from now on, otherwise you guys will fall behind us."

……

Time flies, and the day of the finals has arrived.

Because the competition was held on Pope Mountain, a key location of the Spirit Hall, only team members and teachers who had participated in the finals were allowed to attend the event; the number of ordinary spectators was very small.

The audience consisted mostly of meritorious members of the Spirit Hall and their families, as well as many invited guests.

However, the spectator stands inside the city were not dismantled. After the match begins, someone will go to report on the match on Papal Hill, essentially verbally relaying information from the match site.

As the Qibao team stepped out of the hotel, they noticed a large number of people standing outside.

These people are all contestants from the Heaven Dou Empire region. Perhaps there were some frictions between them before, but since it concerns the honor of the empire, these teams spontaneously cheered for the Seven Treasures team.

Yu Tianxin, Shui Bing'er, and Dugu Yan stood at the front of the group.

"Although we have lost, the empire has not yet fallen. If you lose, don't blame us for disowning you as our friends."

Wu Qi responded with a smile: "Don't worry, our only goal is the championship."

As they spoke, led by Dugu Yan, everyone reached out and gave a high five to the Seven Treasures Team.

"Go for it! You are our last hope! Defeat the Spirit Hall Academy team!"

The entrance to the Qibao team was bustling with activity, while the entrance to the Shrek Academy team was deserted, with only the Gaishi Longshe couple and Meng Yiran cheering them on.

Before long, the Qibao team walked out of the hotel surrounded by the crowd.

The staff of the Spirit Hall had been waiting there for a long time. On the way to the Pope Mountain, Dugu Yan and others spontaneously escorted the Seven Treasures Team.

Seeing this, the Shrek members sneered repeatedly.

"Hehe, these people will be thoroughly humiliated after the competition," Xiao Wu said indignantly. Tang San snorted coldly, "Xiao Wu, don't worry about it. Time will prove how wrong their choice was."

Yu Xiaogang cleared his throat and said calmly, "Don't worry about what others think."

“During the qualifiers, nobody had high hopes for us; during the qualifying rounds, they made us a laughing stock, but we still made it to the finals.”

"We are Shrek, monsters that cannot be defined!"

……

At the foot of Pope Hill, Dugu Yan and the others were forced to separate from the Seven Treasures Team.

On the stage of the finals, contestants and audience members were arranged in different areas and were not allowed to communicate with each other.

Along the way up the mountain, the path for the contestants was lined with guards from the Papal Palace.

These people possessed exceptionally strong soul power fluctuations, and almost all of them were Soul Saint level experts.

Bibi Dong made such a big show of it, both to prove the power of the Spirit Hall and to win over the geniuses of this competition.

Leading the way was naturally the host team, Spirit Hall Academy, followed by Qibao Academy, and finally Shrek Academy.

Upon reaching the Papal Hill, each team was led to their respective rest area, followed closely by the referee team.

In the rest area, everyone marveled at the grandeur of the Papal Palace.

This place is a sacred place in the hearts of all Soul Masters, and also the center of power of the Spirit Hall.

Something came to mind for Wu Qi.

In the original timeline, Tang Hao appeared to save the day, not only smashing the golden statue of the Pope's Palace but also causing the Spirit Hall's status to plummet.

He didn't know if the temple would take his letter seriously.

If Tang Hao were to smash up the Papal Palace again this time, Wu Qi wouldn't know what to say.

"Captain, Changkong, have you been here before?" Feng Xiaotian asked.

He wasn't asking for nothing; he wanted to get a sense of the wind direction on Papal Hill and prepare for the match.

Qian Gu Chang Kong laughed and said, "I used to play here a lot when I was a child, but I haven't been here since."

Wu Qi shook his head.

He passed by the Papal Palace many times, but never lingered there.

Feng Xiaotian said in a deep voice, "Logically speaking, the wind should be very strong on the mountain, but we can't feel any wind speed here."

Qian Gu Chang Kong thought of something and explained, "When the Papal Palace was first built, it was blessed with divine blessings, so neither earthquakes nor storms will affect it."

"Blessing only cuts off external influences, it doesn't affect the internal situation. To be precise, this has no impact on the fighting spirit."

……

Soon after, the audience began to arrive at the scene.

Led by staff, the three teams participating in the finals were taken to a temporary arena set up in front of the Papal Palace.

As the master of ceremonies spoke, the doors of the Papal Palace slowly opened.

Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo was the first to emerge, followed closely by Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.

Originally, Dugu Bo was also invited to come out of the Papal Palace.

However, he was somewhat afraid of Bibi Dong and declined the invitation.

Finally, amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of countless Spirit Hall staff, Pope Bibi Dong, holding a staff symbolizing papal authority, slowly walked out.
