Douluo: No one but me can become a god.

The drawing of lots was completed last night, and the draw was conducted by the teacher leading the Plants team.

To Sikong Zheng's utter dismay, in the first round of the competition, their plant team actually drew a bye. Their luck was truly unbelievable.

Unlike Sikong Zheng, the members of the Plant Team were extremely happy. They were given a bye on the first day, which meant they could observe the battles of other trainees and make more adjustments accordingly.

It can be said that the bye on the first day was the most strategically valuable.

Unlike team matches, which rely on coordination, the qualifying rounds are competitions that showcase the individual strength of Soul Masters, and at the same time, they will also expose the individual abilities of Soul Masters.

Moreover, the qualifying rounds are much faster-paced than the preliminary rounds, and there are no ordinary spectators; all that matters is the result of the match.

After removing those tedious processes and the noise of the audience, it becomes easier for Soul Masters to unleash their full potential.

The rules of the qualifying rounds are simple: each side sends seven players to participate, and each player must fight until they are defeated. The winner will face the next opponent, until all seven players on one side are defeated.

The fifteen college teams went to their respective stands and waited for the match to begin.

For each academy, no match should be missed easily; only by understanding the opponent's combat capabilities can they make more effective responses.

After all, when the strength difference is not significant, the restraining effect of martial souls becomes very important.

Especially at Shrek Academy, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, intently waiting for the battle to begin, determined to clear away any unnecessary obstacles for Shrek.

The first match has begun, and the first team to take the stage is none other than Blazing Academy. Their opponent is a team called Fabia Academy.

"Captain, it's Blazing Fire Academy, one of the five elements of the Heaven Dou Empire. I think our plant team should pay special attention to them in this competition, as their fire attribute is extremely effective against us."

Upon seeing that the first match was against the Blazing Fire Academy, Yao Zi immediately reminded Sikong Zheng.

The other members wholeheartedly agreed and began to carefully observe the first person sent by Blazing Fire Academy, Captain Huo Wushuang, who was also Huo Wu's brother.

"Oh, really? That's quite restrained."

Sikong Zheng leaned lazily against the wall, playing with his fingers, and said listlessly.

Finally, as expected, Huo Wushuang of the Blazing Fire Team was eliminated after defeating three opponents, while Huo Wu defeated four opponents in a row. The brother and sister duo then broke through Fabia Academy, attracting the attention of other academies.

When Huo Wu left the stage, she took the opportunity to provoke Tang San of Shrek Academy, drawing the attention of various academies to Shrek Academy.

"Phew~, Captain, this Blazing Fire Academy is indeed very strong. They only sent two people to fight. As expected of one of the five elements."

After watching the Blazing Fire Academy's match, Yao Zi frowned slightly and couldn't help but sigh.

"Um."

Sikong Zheng glanced at Huo Wu and then gave a blank "hmm".

Just like in the original story, after two matches, the third match was Shrek Academy's turn: Shrek Academy vs. Barak Academy.

Shrek Academy.

"bring it on."

Dai Mubai was the first to extend his right hand, followed by Tang San, Xiao Wu, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing... The ten of them put their hands together and shouted, "Go for it!"

In the end, Shrek Academy only deployed Xiao Wu and Tang San, and easily crushed their opponents. Tang San's eternal fourth ring caused quite a stir among the audience.

In the VIP section, seeing Shrek Academy's resounding victory, Ning Fengzhi smiled knowingly and nodded in satisfaction.

.............................................

The first round of the qualifying tournament, consisting of seven matches, has concluded, with Shenfeng Academy, Chihuo Academy, Leiting Academy, Shrek Academy, and Tianshui Academy all having won.

The Heavenly Dou Empire's academy team decisively defeated the academy teams from other kingdoms and duchies, greatly enhancing the Heavenly Dou Empire's prestige.

"Yes, not bad. My Heavenly Dou Empire has won a great victory, which is enough to demonstrate the strength of Heavenly Dou."

Emperor Xueye sat in the main seat, his hands resting on the armrests, and coldly glanced at the Spirit Hall beside him before speaking domineeringly.

The Spirit Hall secretly supported other kingdoms or duchies and secretly opposed the Heavenly Battle, which had long made Emperor Xueye very dissatisfied, but he was helpless against the powerful Spirit Hall and could only turn a blind eye.

"snort."

Platinum Bishop Salas snorted coldly and did not argue with him.

"Hmph, let you be smug for a while. Once you meet the Golden Generation of my Spirit Hall, you'll know what true strength is!"

Salas revealed a sinister smile, secretly pleased with himself.

At this point, the perfect record of the five advanced soul master academies representing the Heaven Dou Empire greatly satisfied Emperor Xue Ye.

It was announced on the spot that each winning academy would be awarded 1,000 gold soul coins, and each losing academy would be awarded 500 gold soul coins.

The only one not to get a bye was the College of Botany, which was truly a miserable situation.

After the first day of competition ended, it was time for the draw to determine tomorrow's opponents. Representatives from each college drew their respective opponents.

On the second day of the competition, the Plant Academy drew Barak Academy. Without Sikong Zheng even having to play, the Plant Academy easily defeated Barak.

On the second day of the competition, since Shrek Academy drew Blazing Fire Academy, Yu Xiaogang changed his strategy and chose to let Tang San go first.

Tang San fought seven opponents single-handedly until the very end, when the enraged Huo Wu unleashed her Fusion Ring, intending to perish together with Tang San.

This forced Tang San to sacrifice himself to save his sister, allowing Huo Wu to win the match, easing some of Huo Wu's anger, and earning him a kiss from Huo Wu.

Perhaps their luck had run out, because the Plant Academy's opponent on the third day was none other than Shrek Academy, who had shone brightly that day, and they were scheduled to play the third match.
