Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 180 The Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament

According to Sword Douluo, this powerful aura was no less than his own; it simply stood in front of him without launching a direct attack, serving more as a warning than a threat.

It was easy to guess who the owner of this aura was. Sword Douluo returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and told Ning Fengzhi about it.

At Shrek Academy, it wasn't just Tang San who attracted Ning Fengzhi's attention; Oscar, with his innate full soul power, also caught Ning Fengzhi's eye.

There has never been a food-type Soul Master with innate full Soul Power in the Douluo Continent before, so he is also a genuine genius.

Ning Fengzhi came up with a solution that would kill two birds with one stone.

……

Two months passed quickly, and the Soul Master Competition garnered increasing attention.
The first thing to do is the preliminary rounds. Apart from the four kingdoms and one duchy within the Heaven Dou Empire, which have their own preliminary round areas, other Soul Master academy teams that want to participate in the Soul Master Tournament must come to Heaven Dou City for the preliminary selection.

Various academies have already appeared in Tiandou City, with the Five Elements Academy being the most eye-catching.

"There are five qualifying spots in the preliminary round. The five teams with the highest scores will advance to the next round. It is a single round-robin tournament within the group. You will get one point for each team you defeat. The outcome will be determined by team spirit."

Zhao Tianhe explained the rules to the team members. In fact, most of the students were clear about the rules of the Soul Master Competition, but the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

The preliminary rounds will officially begin in three days. The opening ceremony will be held in the Tiandou Grand Soul Arena in Tiandou City. To prepare for this, the Grand Soul Arena had suspended all soul battle competitions a month in advance for internal renovations.

The renovated Grand Arena can now accommodate over 80,000 spectators simultaneously.

While the ticket price is indeed very high, the Grand Arena has also paid a considerable price for it.

"Team One doesn't need to participate in the preliminaries; they will be directly promoted to the later competitions. As Team Two, we need to participate in the preliminaries just like the regular college teams."

In the remaining three days, Zhao Tianhe did not have the team members undergo high-intensity training, but instead let them rest well and maintain their good condition.

When the preliminary rounds officially began, the area outside the Great Soul Arena was packed with spectators who had all bought tickets. Outside the Great Soul Arena, they could see the members of the various Soul Master Academy teams up close.

Those who can participate in the Soul Master Competition are undoubtedly genius Soul Masters from the academy. Witnessing their brilliance is not to be missed.

The young women in the crowd, in particular, tried their best to show their best side. If they could marry a genius soul master, it would be a great thing that brought them both fame and fortune.

For this preliminary competition, Tian Dou City mobilized 5,000 city defense troops to maintain order. In just a few days, the flow of people in Tian Dou City increased by 50%, which is quite remarkable. Even the hotels and inns in Tian Dou City were fully booked.

From the moment they entered the Great Soul Arena, the Shrek Academy team's uniform became the focus of the entire arena. While the uniforms of other academies were designed to showcase their own unique characteristics and extravagance, Shrek Academy's uniform stood out as something truly bizarre.

Their turquoise team uniforms, coupled with the large "Recruiting" sign, made them hard to miss.

Inside the Grand Arena, there are designated rest areas for all the teams.

Tie Li and the others were wearing team uniforms meticulously designed by the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, which truly attracted everyone's attention.

In the rest area, each college was chatting amongst themselves.

"Luckily, we weren't wearing these team uniforms, otherwise I wouldn't dare to participate in the competition." Mu Wei couldn't help but take another look at the Shrek Academy's location.

The turquoise team uniforms had a special magic that made them unable to stop looking at them. It wasn't just Mu Wei and her group who were like this; even students from other academies would occasionally glance at the Shrek team, even if they were hiding in a corner.

"Haha, seeing him get his comeuppance suddenly made me feel much better," Juedun couldn't help but laugh.

"They seem to have gotten into an argument with someone?" Gucci said.

The students from the Canghui Academy team got into an argument with the Shrek Academy team, but the two teams quickly separated after their instructors intervened. A short while later, the competition staff arrived at the rest area and organized the teams to enter the arena.

The huge, open square was filled with countless cheering spectators. In front of the central area was a grand stage with a golden background, and behind the executive committee was the VIP area.

Each team is introduced in this way by the emcee on the stage.

"The first team to appear is our Tian Dou Royal Academy team. As everyone knows, our Tian Dou Royal Academy is divided into a main team and a vice team. The main team can directly advance to the finals, while the vice team competes with teams from other academies for a spot in the finals."

But as the number one academy in the Heaven Dou Empire, don't underestimate this powerful team.

The fact that the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was deliberately placed first is a sign of respect.

Because in the first row of the VIP area was none other than the Emperor of Tian Dou, and in the second row of the VIP seats were Prince Xue Xing and the three members of the Tian Dou Royal Academy's teaching committee.

As a Soul Master Academy affiliated with the royal family, it naturally receives special treatment in certain areas.

Tie Li walked at the very front of the group, attracting the most attention.

"Your Majesty, he is the captain of the second team, a disciple of the Wind and Thunder Sect," Meng Shenji whispered in the ear of the Heavenly Dou Emperor.

The Emperor of Tiandou nodded; he had already heard about Tie Li from Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi.

"With him leading the team, the preliminaries should be no problem," Prince Xuexing echoed.

After Xue Qinghe's identity was exposed, Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng stopped hiding themselves and began to show their talents, which impressed Emperor Tian Dou.

On either side of the Heaven Dou Emperor were the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall and Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

As each team entered the stadium, the cheers from the audience grew increasingly excited.

"Now, please welcome His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire to declare the opening of this competition," the master of ceremonies on the VIP platform announced loudly.

The Heavenly Emperor, dressed in a crimson-gold robe, slowly rose to his feet. He gently raised his right hand, and the noisy sounds immediately quieted down.

A deep and resonant voice resounded throughout the entire venue via an amplified soul guide.

The rhetoric was exactly the same as in the original timeline. With a burst of encouragement, the students from each team became excited. For them, this level of competition was the best stage to showcase themselves.

Next, Ning Fengzhi stood up to speak. As the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the number one support soul master in the soul master world, his reputation was extremely high.

His speech was equally concise and eloquent, yet it was also incredibly inspiring.

Aside from the opening ceremony, there is only one match today, which is the match between the vice-team of Tiandou Royal Academy and their first-round opponents.

Bishop Salas of Platinum slowly rose and announced the results of the draw.

"In the first round of the qualifying round, Canghui College versus Purple Star College."

"In the first round of the preliminary rounds, Heaven Dou Royal Academy will face off against Shrek Academy."
