Chapter 184 The finals begin
The Tiandou Empire team did not encounter any ambush on the way to Wuhun City.
Unlike the original novel, the affairs of Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were entirely handed over to Luo Ling.
Twenty days later, the teams participating in the finals arrived in Wuhun City one after another. Tang San, Yu Xiaogang and his group of four also hurried to Wuhun City.
The wound on Yu Xiaogang's face has been healed, and Tang San has a faint smile on his face.
His soul power level has reached level 55. He has absorbed the ten thousand year fifth soul ring of the Blue Silver Grass and the five ten thousand year soul rings of the Clear Sky Hammer, a total of six ten thousand year soul rings.
Tang San is now extremely confident, his body even trembles with excitement when he walks into Wuhun City.
They quickly found out where the Shrek team was staying and met up with Liu Erlong and others who had arrived earlier.
"What were you doing? The finals are in two days. I thought you didn't want to participate." Liu Erlong said unhappily.
Ever since Yu Xiaogang brought Shrek to join Blue Tyrant Academy, she seldom saw them in the academy. They were almost always training outside.
When the finals were approaching, he left again, saying that he wanted to give Tang San special training.
"Erlong, aren't we back?" Yu Xiaogang smiled.
He was in a very good mood. Tang San's strength was now far superior to what it was before, and he would definitely shine in the finals. And as Tang San's teacher, he would also become famous!
Moreover, his current strength has reached level 38. Relying on the Blood Demon Ritual, Yu Xiaogang feels that the future is bright.
"So what are the results of your special training?" Liu Erlong asked with a frown.
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang seemed very proud, "Xiao San has now broken through to the Soul King!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire lounge fell into silence and Liu Erlong's eyes widened.
Everyone in Shrek was also stunned.
Yu Tianheng, Ma Hongjun and Oscar were the first to react, and they immediately thought of the Blood Demon Ritual.
Yu Xiaogang also noticed the gazes of the three people and raised his eyebrows, as if signaling them not to talk too much.
Ning Rongrong and the other two girls were truly shocked. The first thing they thought of was the magic grass, just like the one they had eaten.
"That's right. Xiao San is now a Soul King. The tactics for the finals will be formulated with Xiao San as the core." Yu Xiaogang said again.
Liu Erlong came back to his senses and asked quickly, "How could Xiao San break through so quickly? Wasn't he only level 43 before?"
"There were some adventures." Yu Xiaogang didn't explain too much, just waved his hand.
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang didn't seem to want to elaborate, Liu Erlong didn't dare to ask any more questions and just looked at him deeply.
……
Two days later, the finals officially began.
For the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, Wuhun City specially opened up a special venue.
This venue is located in the center of Wuhun City. The huge arena is a hundred meters in diameter and is completely repaired from granite.
This huge competition stage is also reinforced with a large number of soul guides to prevent damage.
According to the information given by Wuhun Palace, this site is strong enough to withstand any attacks from soul masters below the Soul Emperor without being damaged.
Only a wealthy organization like Wuhun Palace would do this. At least the two empires were reluctant to spend such huge resources.
Early in the morning, Luo Ling followed Tiandou Royal Academy to the competition venue and was arranged in their respective rest areas.
There were a total of 33 teams in the finals, and there were five rounds of elimination matches. There was a day of rest and adjustment between each round, and three days of adjustment before the final fifth round.
According to the competition system, the Spirit Hall Academy and the seed academies of the two empires will have a bye in the first round.
The remaining thirty teams will compete for fifteen qualifying spots.
In the second round, the first place teams in the promotion matches of the two empires will have a bye, and eight teams will be eliminated from the remaining sixteen teams to enter the third round. Together with the two teams with a bye, there will be a total of ten teams.
In the third round, two teams will be randomly assigned byes, leaving four spots for the remaining eight teams.
In the fourth round, there are six teams in total, and the top three will be decided.
Finally, in the fifth round, the three teams will compete against each other in the same way as before in the qualifying round to determine the strongest team.
The two remaining weaker teams will fight in a team battle, and the winner will fight with the strongest team again to determine the champion.
Since Luo Ling's Tiandou Royal Academy was the seed team of the Tiandou Empire, it had a bye in the first round.
Although Tiandou Royal Academy also ranked first in the promotion match, Tiandou Royal Academy's participation in the promotion match did not count towards the quota, so the one that had a bye in the second round was Kamikaze Academy.
Perhaps it was fate that the draw for the first round of the finals was the same as in the original novel.
The Shrek team that Tang San was in drew the Blazing Academy, and just like in the original novel, the Blazing Academy chose to forfeit.
This made Tang San, who was eager to try, very depressed. He finally broke through to the Soul King level and was ready to show his skills, but Blazing Academy did not give him the chance.
The others were quite happy, after all, they knew Blazing Academy inside and out and were not easy to deal with.
Just as the first round of the competition was going on, Ning Rongrong quietly came to the rest area of Tiandou Royal Academy.
Luo Ling saw the sneaky Ning Rongrong at first sight.
Ning Rongrong also saw Luo Ling and trotted over.
"Luo Ling!"
"Miss, it's the finals now. Is it okay for you to run to the rest area of another college like this?" Luo Ling glanced at Ning Rongrong, not knowing what this little witch was up to.
"I came to see you for something important!" Ning Rongrong said in a low voice.
Luo Ling didn't say anything, but just used his eyes to signal Ning Rongrong to continue.
Ning Rongrong curled her lips and said, "Do you know that Tang San has already broken through to Soul King?"
"Is this the reason you came to me?" Luo Ling was speechless.
"Aren't I just here to remind you? Tang San doesn't have any good intentions towards you!" Ning Rongrong said unhappily.
"Do you think Tang San can pose a threat to me if he breaks through to Soul King?" Luo Ling smiled with a hint of disdain.
Ning Rongrong opened her mouth and reacted.
Many years ago, Luo Ling was able to defeat a team with Soul Kings by fighting against seven people alone. So what would happen even if Tang San broke through to the Soul King level?
Ning Rongrong realized that she seemed to be worrying too much.
"Relax, the outcome of this match has been determined from the beginning." Luo Ling patted Ning Rongrong's head, "No matter what level Tang San breaks through to, even if he is a Soul Emperor or Soul Sage, he can never be my opponent."
Luo Ling's tone was filled with absolute confidence, and he did have the ability.
This finals is destined to be turbulent. The disappeared Tang Hao will definitely appear again. Even if he faces Tang Hao, Luo Ling is confident that he can give it a fight.
