Chapter 249 If you disagree, stand up!
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Soul Master Competition finals.
Early that morning, Wang Teng sent a Destroyer to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to bring Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing to Sky City. Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin also accompanied them.
Once everyone had arrived, Wang Teng and his group then headed to Spirit City.
Today, the thirty-three teams from the two Empires and Spirit Hall were to begin the finals. The finals would require six rounds to determine the champion team.
The first four rounds were all team battles. The fifth round, a three-way showdown, adopted a personal competition system, eliminating the last-place participant to enter the final championship.
Then, on the second day, the championship battle would take place, with the competition system returning to team battles.
In other words, in the finals, only the fifth round was a personal battle, and it was a three-way personal battle; all others were team battles.
Unlike the original work, although Bibi Dong also knew that Tang San had twin spirits, this time she did not send Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo to lead a team for a mid-way ambush.
Otherwise, if Little San didn't have the protection of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he would definitely be finished.
But in Bibi Dong's view, Sky City had already destroyed the Clear Sky Sect. Since you, Wang Teng, aren't worried, then I don't need to worry either. After all, in terms of hatred, Spirit Hall cannot compare to Sky City.
And Yu Xiaogang did not go to the Supreme Pontiff Palace to find Bibi Dong in advance after the promotion rounds ended.
Currently, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's relationship was not as close as father and son as in the original work.
Moreover, he didn't have the Supreme Pontiff Token, and even the Elder Token Bibi Dong had given him was confiscated by Wang Teng. Plus, having become a eunuch, Yu Xiaogang felt too ashamed to see Bibi Dong.
The finals held in Spirit City were not as lively as the preliminaries held in Heaven Dou City's Great Spirit Arena. There were few spectators, only a few thousand people.
Compared to the preliminaries, which had over eighty thousand spectators, the scale of the finals' attendance was much smaller.
Wang Teng did not watch the matches in the first few days. Anyway, with Oakland Academy's strength, it was impossible for them to be eliminated.
In the second match, Oakland Academy faced the Star Luo Royal Academy team, who had received a bye. Even when Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuqing activated their Martial Soul Fusion Technique—Hell White Tiger—it was not enough.
After all, the two of them were merely Spirit Ancestors. Even if they used the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, at most, it was the strength of a top-tier Spirit King. Wang Chong didn't even activate his Spirit and performed a 'Wang Chong Fights Tiger' show for the audience.
Hmm, according to unofficial sources, Wang Chong performed a slide tackle and then KO'd the Hell White Tiger with three punches and two kicks.
After the fourth round of the competition, the top three teams emerged: Oakland Academy, Martial Soul Hall, and Thunder Academy.
Unlike the original work, the two major teams from Blazing Academy and Divine Wind Academy did not merge.
Thunder Academy was very lucky not to encounter strong teams, and their own strength was not bad, with four Spirit Ancestors, allowing them to enter the top three.
The main teams from the Star Luo Royal Academy (who received a bye) and Heaven Dou Royal Academy were both unlucky. One met Oakland Academy, which had Wang Chong, and the other met Martial Soul Hall, which had Hu Liena.
Even if Hu Liena and Xie Yue didn't use their Martial Soul Fusion Technique, Hu Liena alone, with her powerful mental force, controlled all the main Heaven Dou Royal Academy team members who took the stage. And this was without Hu Liena even activating her Spirit.
After Hu Liena's Heavenly Fox Spirit evolved into the divine-grade Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, her mental control ability greatly increased. Even without activating her Spirit, she was not someone a few Spirit Ancestors could deal with.
The reason she didn't activate her Spirit was that Bibi Dong wanted Hu Liena to hold back her trump cards. After all, in the Heaven Dou Empire competition zone, Wang Chong had already displayed Spirit Emperor-level strength. If they didn't hide some trump cards, Martial Soul Hall wouldn't have a guaranteed victory.
As for Shrek Academy? They unfortunately met Martial Soul Hall and were instantly killed by Hu Liena.
Although Tang San cultivated Purple Demon Eye, he had not consumed any Immortal Herbs that enhance mental force. Coupled with Hu Liena's level suppression, he couldn't resist at all. His mental defenses collapsed, and after revealing a pig-like expression, he was knocked off the stage by Xie Yue.
On this day, the heavens were very cooperative. Bright sunlight scattered across the land, warm and pleasant.
Early in the morning, the three teams that had entered the final top three competition were already present in front of the Supreme Pontiff Palace, quietly waiting.
"Supreme Pontiff arrives!"
From the side door of the Supreme Pontiff Palace, twelve red-robed archbishops emerged, with the leader proclaiming loudly.
Subsequently, amidst cheers of 'Long live!', Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong, wearing a magnificent long gown and holding a scepter, made a grand entrance.
Accompanying her were Wang Chong, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Dugu Bo, and Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, five people in total. Although Ning Fengzhi had not reached the Titled Douluo realm, his status was not lower than that of an ordinary Titled Douluo, so he was qualified to accompany them.
The reason Dugu Bo came was because his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, also came to Spirit City to participate in the finals. However, the Heaven Dou Royal main team was unlucky and did not enter the top three.
But since the Soul Master Competition hadn't ended, it wasn't good to leave early.
Among the three top-three teams, except for Wang Chong, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing, the Martial Soul Hall team, Thunder Academy team, and several of the Tailings from Oakland, plus those affiliated with Spirit Hall, all knelt on one knee to pay respects to Bibi Dong.
'Tsk tsk, my mother-in-law is quite majestic.'
Seeing this scene, Wang Teng couldn't help but inwardly mock.
At this moment, the red-robed archbishop who had just proclaimed loudly, seeing that Wang Chong and the other two had not bowed, immediately jumped out.
"How dare you three! The Supreme Pontiff has arrived, and you still don't kneel and worship?"
Although there was no explicit rule that one had to kneel, the contrast between the three and the others next to them was quite noticeable.
"..."
Bibi Dong glanced at the red-robed archbishop and was speechless. She didn't know Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing among these three, but she certainly knew Wang Chong.
Wang Chong's older brother was right there! Is it really okay for you to spout such nonsense? Aren't you afraid Wang Teng will make things difficult for you?
Actually, it was because this red-robed archbishop didn't recognize Wang Chong; otherwise, he would never have dared to speak like that.
"Hmph~!"
Wang Teng immediately became displeased. How could there be someone so unobservant? With a cold snort, a powerful spirit power pressure was directly released, pressing the red-robed archbishop to the ground.
"My younger brother, besides our parents, does not need to kneel to anyone. If anyone disagrees, step forward and let me see!"
Now, it wasn't just that unlucky red-robed archbishop; everyone present felt the aura emanating from Wang Teng.
Of course, Wang Teng held back; otherwise, those with lower strength would have directly collapsed.
Did anyone step forward? Naturally, no one did. Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn't dare to be so stubborn.
Bibi Dong glared at the red-robed archbishop, then turned her head to look at Wang Teng.
"Cough cough, it's just a misunderstanding~"
Wang Teng nodded, giving his mother-in-law some face, and retracted his aura.
At this moment, the red-robed archbishop was filled with regret. Although he didn't recognize Wang Chong, he knew Wang Teng, who was the son-in-law of his boss, Bibi Dong. He had originally intended to flatter her but ended up offending her instead.
Bibi Dong's expression was slightly awkward, but she quickly adjusted her emotions, gently waved the scepter in her hand, and then said lightly.
"Rise~ !"
Subsequently, everyone stood up.
In the distant spectator stands, discussions began. They hadn't expected such a big piece of gossip before the event even started.
Of course, due to the authority of Spirit Hall, no one from other forces dared to say much. As for the people from Spirit Hall, they dared even less to say anything. With so many people watching, they couldn't spread their own internal gossip.
Subsequently, a row of gilded chairs was placed in front of the Supreme Pontiff Palace. At Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong's signal, she sat in the center. Wang Teng, Ning Fengzhi, and Chen Xin sat on her left, while Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo and Dugu Bo sat on her right.
"From you, I see hope. In front of the Supreme Pontiff Palace, I hope to see all of your talent and strength."
Bibi Dong said, looking at the participating students from the three teams in front of her.
"This morning will be your individual elimination round, with each of your three teams sending out seven members. The remaining team will gain the advantage, directly entering the championship battle tomorrow.
The two losing teams will compete for another final spot this afternoon. Now, you may send out your first participating member."
After Bibi Dong finished speaking, she announced that the competition had begun.
"???"
Wang Teng was a little confused. What about the three Spirit Bones that Spirit Hall was supposed to award? Were they eaten by a dog? Or did you embezzle them?
After thinking for a moment, Wang Teng probably understood. In the original work, Spirit Hall, in this Soul Master Competition, offered three Spirit Bones as the champion's reward. Those were originally prepared by Bibi Dong for Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan.
It was only due to the Elder Palace's objection that they were offered as a reward for the Soul Master Competition.
However, Spirit City had encountered a beast tide last time and obtained many Spirit Bones. In this situation, not to mention Hu Liena, Xie Yue and Yan must have received Spirit Bones.
Wang Teng discovered that Hu Liena was now a Level 68 Spirit Emperor, Xie Yue was a Level 54 Spirit King, and Yan was also a Level 54 Spirit King.
Their spirit power levels were two levels higher than in the same period in the original work.
Seeing that there was no Spirit Bone reward for this Soul Master Competition's champion, how could this be? Without a reward, there wouldn't be much motivation.
"Supreme Pontiff, compared to previous years, the students participating in this competition are so outstanding. As the host, shouldn't Spirit Hall offer some rewards?"
After thinking, Wang Teng turned to Bibi Dong and said.
As soon as Wang Teng spoke, all members of the three participating teams' eyes lit up, and they immediately looked at Bibi Dong with fervent gazes. Even the Martial Soul Hall team was no exception, as no one wished to miss out on rewards.
"..."
Bibi Dong rolled her eyes.
She knew that during the Heaven Dou Empire preliminaries, Wang Teng, that great wealthy man, had offered seven ten-thousand-year Spirit Bones as the first-place reward.
But she, Bibi Dong, was not as rich as Wang Teng, who had more Spirit Bones than he could use.
Although Spirit Hall had gained many Spirit Bones during the last beast tide in Spirit City, there were many people who needed Spirit Bones. Spirit Hall was a large organization, and those Spirit Bones were simply not enough to distribute!
