The next day, the competition proceeded as usual, but Tang Xiao did not appear, having fled back to the Clear Sky Sect with Tang San.
Today, the Dou Hun Arena was exceptionally lively, as it was the final match, a showdown between two highly anticipated teams.
"Begin the match! Both sides, ascend the stage!"
Without the Shrek Seven Devils, the referee seemed a bit more relaxed this time; at least no one was interrupting him.
The mysterious Spirit Hall Seven Shines Battle Team finally unveiled themselves, as two teams of vibrant youngsters slowly walked onto the Dou Hun Arena.
The two teams exchanged glances and a secret signal; since they were all on the same side, they naturally couldn't be too harsh, but the stronger team would also restrain their strength.
After all, with Qian Renxue, a Titled Douluo, present, the outcome was already clear.
Now, the main goal for both sides was to bring the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament to a Perfection.
"Both sides, prepare to release your Spirit!"
As soon as the referee's words fell, everyone displayed their spirit rings, and those rings, all defying common sense, immediately ignited the atmosphere of the entire arena.
Nothing else, this was simply an incredible feat, especially Qian Renxue, whose first spirit ring was 100,000 years old, which was simply outrageous.
It was hard to imagine that this was something a person could achieve.
However, the referee suppressed the shock in his heart, his voice trembling unnaturally, and finally announced the start of the match.
Unlike before, both sides seemed to be fighting with all their might this time, but in reality, they were primarily showcasing their Spirit Abilities, emphasizing their splendor.
This allowed all the spectators present to feast their eyes, and it also served to pique the Spirit Master's interest for when Qian Xunfeng would announce the emergence of the Soul Spirit World later.
In the end, the Spirit Hall Seven Shines Battle Team naturally claimed victory, with the Heaven Dou Royal First Team in second place and the Star Luo Royal Battle Team in third.
The referee, unable to contain his excitement, then grandly announced, "Let us congratulate the Spirit Hall Seven Shines Battle Team for winning this All-Continent Soul Master Tournament!"
"Next, please welcome the leader of the Continent's Spirit Masters, the guardian of the Continent's safety, the noble and great Supreme Pontiff Your Majesty of the Spirit Hall, to present the awards to the champion team."
After he finished speaking, the sounds of firecrackers exploded all around, and colorful lights overflowed.
This brought the excitement of the surrounding spectators to its peak.
The locals of Spirit City stood up solemnly, their chests proudly puffed out; they were the Supreme Pontiff's most loyal supporters.
They shouted in unison, their cheers even drowning out the firecrackers.
Amidst the shouts and cheers, Qian Xunfeng slowly stood up, his eyes sweeping over the surrounding audience.
He pressed his hands down, and the Dou Hun Arena fell silent.
Qian Xunfeng cleared his throat and spoke in a standard official tone: "To all the contestants present, I see a vibrant future in you. I hope you will Cultivate diligently in the future and become the mainstays of the Spirit Master's world, or meet at the peak."
After speaking, he took out seven 100,000-year Spirit Bones from his hand.
The Spirit Bones emitted colorful halos, and for a moment, a hint of greed flashed in the eyes of all the Spirit Masters present.
However, seeing that the owner of these seven 100,000-year Spirit Bones was Qian Xunfeng, they gradually regained their composure, but their eyes still couldn't leave those seven tempting Spirit Bones.
These seven Spirit Bones were all carefully selected and could be said to be very suitable for everyone in the Spirit Hall Seven Shines Battle Team.
Qian Renxue, who was at the forefront, took the seven 100,000-year Spirit Bones and joyfully walked over to Qian Renchuan and the others.
"Qian Renchuan, this is the 100,000-year Azure Vine Left Leg Bone left by the Azure Vine Emperor. It is perfectly suited for the Life attribute of your Blue Silver Emperor."
"Mm."
Qian Renchuan took the 100,000-year Azure Vine Left Leg Bone, while Yan received the Flame Lord Left Leg Bone, also perfectly suited to his own spirit ring.
Xie Yue received the Shadow King Torso Bone, and Qian Renxue received the Light Unicorn Head Bone. Qian Xunfeng was also preparing to help Qian Renxue reconstruct her Angel Spirit armor.
After the Spirit Bones were distributed, Qian Xunfeng slowly walked to the most conspicuous position on the stage, instantly drawing everyone's gaze.
"Taking advantage of this All-Continent Soul Master Tournament, I have one more announcement to make."
Qian Xunfeng spoke unhurriedly, but his words landed differently in the ears of others. What matter was important enough for the Supreme Pontiff Your Majesty to announce personally? It was clearly a momentous event.
For a moment, the people in the arena began to discuss, but to avoid defiling their faith in the Supreme Pontiff Your Majesty, they all stopped their discussions and looked uniformly in Qian Xunfeng's direction.
Qian Xunfeng paid no attention to everyone's curious gazes, but spoke to himself: "Tens of thousands of years ago, the first person to become a Spirit Master and hunt Spirit Beasts opened up a path of survival for us humans."
"But after tens of thousands of years of development, the number of Spirit Masters has gradually increased, while Spirit Beasts have gradually dwindled due to their long growth periods. We don't see much now, but what about a thousand years from now, or ten thousand years from now?"
"Once Spirit Beasts are extensively hunted, while our descendants won't be entirely without spirit rings, they will fall into an era where 1,000-year spirit rings are rarely obtained, 10,000-year spirit rings are unheard of, 100-year spirit rings are treasures, and everyone starts with a 10-year spirit ring."
After speaking, Qian Xunfeng's gaze gradually became solemn, and his tone was filled with immense confidence and Aura as he slowly said: "This Supreme Pontiff cannot bear to see this happen, nor can I bear for our descendants to have no spirit rings to use. Furthermore, I want to give everyone an opportunity to obtain a spirit ring suitable for themselves."
At this point, Qian Xunfeng deliberately paused, making the surrounding people anxious, urging him to speak.
Then Qian Xunfeng slowly began, "Therefore, this Supreme Pontiff has reached a consensus with the master of the Spirit Beast world to establish the Spirit Descent Tower. The Spirit Descent Tower can match Spirit Masters with corresponding Spirit Masters based on their own strength. Spirit Masters can encounter Spirit Souls that match their own attributes within it, and the spirit ring's age limit can also be increased according to one's own will, continuously improving, giving all Spirit Masters in the world a space for further advancement, but it will slightly slow down a part of their Cultivation speed."
This point was mainly to allow some old fellows whose talent was stuck to also have room for improvement. If vertical improvement wasn't possible, they could change direction.
For others who reached the Title Douluo stage at a young age, they could also upgrade the age limit of all their spirit rings.
As for the first Spirit Soul starting at 100,000 years, unless that person was a cheat, how could a 100,000-year Spirit Soul possibly take a liking to a young kid who hadn't even officially become a Spirit Master yet?
At this moment, the entire venue was in an uproar. It was actually a semi-new Cultivation method, and it was developed personally by the Supreme Pontiff.
Stating it in front of so many people meant it certainly wasn't idle talk, and how could the Supreme Pontiff trick them? They were all followers of the great Angel God and loyal supporters of the Supreme Pontiff Your Majesty!
Seeing that the atmosphere was already set, Qian Xunfeng gently tapped the ground a few times with his Supreme Pontiff's scepter, temporarily stabilizing the order.
Then, with a smile on his face, he said, "Moreover, those with extraordinary talent have a chance to gain the recognition of a 100,000-year Spirit Soul. Their first spirit ring could even be a 100,000-year spirit ring!"
As soon as these words were uttered, the Dou Hun Arena, which had been in an uproar, suddenly fell silent, all immersed in Qian Xunfeng's words about the first spirit ring being 100,000 years, unable to recover for a long time.
