Chapter 170: Wuhun City

There are three prizes for the tournament; besides the Spirit Condensing Wisdom Skull, the Swift-Moving Wind-Chasing Left Leg Bone and the Explosive Burning Flame Right Arm Bone are both very suitable for Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu.

Naturally, the two of them covet them.

Although Tang San did not defeat Blazing Academy and Kamikaze Academy during the Preliminary Round.

Yet, under the influence of various factors, Huo Wu still gave up the Blazing Academy's competition quota as in the original work and reached a cooperation with Kamikaze Academy.

After another night of rest, when the personnel of each academy got off their carriages to set up camp and move about.

"Hmm? Blazing Academy and Kamikaze Academy have cooperated just like in the original work?"

Sensing the surroundings with the help of the surrounding Blue Silver Grass, Shi Quan secretly thought. Within his perception range, he clearly "saw" the people from Blazing Academy and Kamikaze Academy gathering and running toward an open space.

And on the Shrek Academy side, Shi Quan unexpectedly discovered the figure of Yu Xiaogang.

"Did Yu Xiaogang not go to find Bibi Dong?" Shi Quan raised an eyebrow.

Because of the special regulations of Wuhun City, Xue Qinghe ordered the Royal Knights to garrison outside the city, while he personally led the sixteen teams into Wuhun City.

A few more days passed, in the evening.

From this, it is not difficult to infer the solution to the problem of Twin Spirits.

After all, his New Extreme Soul Ring Theory pointed out that the Spirit Ring Year Limit has a direct connection to physical fitness.

At this time, they were only five days away from Wuhun City.

"Good, good, good!" Flender's eyes were bright; Xiao Wu breaking through to Soul Ancestor and the team's strength improving again was a huge piece of good news. He hurriedly turned his head to look at Qin Ming and Zhao Wuji, lowered his voice, and said, "Qin Ming, Zhao Wuji, you two keep an eye on the team from now on."

"I wonder if we will be attacked again this time?"

"Tang Hao, however, is truly formidable with these hidden methods; even the Blue Silver Grass cannot discover his location." Shi Quan shook his head lightly and withdrew his perception.

A few days later, the Heaven Dou Empire participating teams arrived at Wuhun City.

Hearing this, everyone was also beaming with joy.

"Okay." Xiao Wu nodded obediently.

"Brother, I've broken through to Level 40." Xiao Wu excitedly announced the good news to Tang San.

When the night was deep and quiet, Flender then took Xiao Wu and left the team silently.

Early the next morning, the convoy continued to move forward.

As the team passed through the valley safely, the answer was self-evident.

After speaking, he turned back to look at Xiao Wu and continued to lower his voice, "Xiao Wu, there are too many eyes and ears here; I will take you to set off later."

"It seems that because of my appearance, he has guessed the method to solve the problem of Twin Spirits' spirit rings." Shi Quan secretly guessed in his heart.

The eleventh day of the journey.

Shi Quan lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the two low hills not far away, "In the original work, this is where Tang San was attacked."

The journey was smooth sailing without encountering any obstacles, and time passed day by day just like that.

In order to take revenge, and also for her "Brother San," she had been practicing quite diligently during this period, putting in all her effort.

Along the way, although Wuhun City is not as big as Heaven Dou City, one has to comment that it is 'arrogant'!

A sect-natured Spirit Hall building defensive measures according to Empire standards—you tell me if that's arrogant or not.

Afterwards, led by a Cardinal, the group was arranged in a hotel located on the west side of Wuhun City.

According to the news from the Spirit Hall, the competition will officially begin in three days. The journey is exhausting, and having these three days of rest is enough for each academy to make adjustments.

Walking into the room and tidying up simply, Shi Quan also prepared to give everyone a good break, and go sightseeing in Wuhun City with his teammates under the escort of Dugu Bo.

Everyone was here for the first time and was quite curious.

"Is that the Pope Palace? What a surging momentum; it's simply domineering!" Yu Feng looked up at the distant peak and couldn't help but exclaim.

Shi Quan also looked up and gazed into the distance, "Is Bibi Dong there?"

"The Pope Palace can only be on the mountainside; what is that building on the top of the mountain for?" Dugu Yan, who was on the side, asked curiously.

"That is the Spirit Hall of Fame; it has the most lofty status in the Spirit Hall. Only deceased Title Douluo can reside inside; it can be considered the tomb of Title Douluo," Dugu Bo said. "Only during grand ceremonies or when a Title Douluo falls will the Spirit Hall of Fame open. As for what it looks like inside, I don't know either."

"Is that so?" Dugu Yan nodded.

Wuhun City is not big, and coupled with the fact that there were not many people in the entire Wuhun City at this special time, walking along the way gave several people a feeling of emptiness.

There were also very few shops on the street. After strolling around for a while, everyone felt bored and returned to the hotel early.

The second day of the rest period.

In the evening, Flender brought Xiao Wu to the hotel.

"This works too?" Hearing Xiao Wu say that her Fourth Spirit Ring was obtained because she went out at night to relieve herself, got lost, happened to run into a rabbit-type Spirit Beast of a suitable age that had just been seriously injured, and thus chose to kill it and absorb the spirit ring, everyone in Shrek was taken aback.

Is this luck a bit too good?

Especially after hearing the ability and effect of Xiao Wu's Fourth Spirit Ability, everyone's eyes widened even more.

"Xiao Wu, your luck is truly unmatched." Ma Hongjun couldn't help but complain.

Tang San said, "With this spirit skill, Xiao Wu's chances of winning in the upcoming tournament will be even greater."

Yu Xiaogang also nodded and said, "Xiao Wu's Fourth Spirit Ability is indeed good; it can play a key role in team battles. Next, we need to make adjustments around Xiao Wu's spirit skill and perfect the previous tactics."

While Yu Xiaogang and the others were busy perfecting their tactics, Shi Quan and the others were still resting.

On one hand, it was Shi Quan and the others' confidence in their own strength, and on the other hand, there really was nothing to prepare.

There are only five rounds in the Grand Finals in total.

As a Seed Team, the Heaven Dou Team does not need to compete in the first round.

Therefore, they only need to participate in four rounds of competition. Moreover, there is a one-day rest period between each round of competition. Even if injured, there is Ye Lingling's healing, which is enough to cope with the subsequent matches, and there is enough time to arrange the subsequent battle plans.

Two days later, in the center of Wuhun City.

Early in the morning, all participating teams were led by Wuhun City's dedicated personnel to the competition venue.

For the Grand Finals of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, Wuhun City specially cleared out a dedicated venue. This venue is located in the center of Wuhun City. The huge arena is a full hundred meters in diameter. It is entirely built of granite.

On this huge competition platform, a large number of Soul Guidance Devices were also used for reinforcement to prevent damage. According to the information provided by the Spirit Hall, this venue is enough to withstand any attack from a Spirit Master below the Soul Emperor level without being damaged.

The arrogance of the Spirit Hall was also manifested to the fullest; at the very least, neither of the two Empires would be willing to expend such vast resources.

Directly in front of this competition stage was the Pope Palace. From here, the distance to the hill where the Pope Palace stood was less than a thousand meters. In the posted notice, the Spirit Hall had already announced that the final three teams of the Grand Finals would compete in front of the Pope Palace.

At that time, the Pope would personally arrive at the scene to watch the battle and would distribute the tournament rewards to the champions after the match.

Early in the morning, all participating academies had already been led by designated Spirit Hall personnel to their specific rest areas.

Shi Quan looked up at the Pope Palace less than a thousand meters away; what he saw in his eyes was not the Pope Palace, but the Destiny Treasure Chest within arm's reach.

As a Seed Team, they did not need to compete in the first round, so naturally, they did not need to draw lots and could simply wait for the competition to begin.

"We're just starting to fight?" Yu Feng nearby was somewhat surprised, looking around at the surrounding spectator stands, "Why is there not even an opening ceremony for the Grand Finals? And there are so few spectators, it looks like only a few thousand people. Compared to the tens of thousands at the Preliminary Round, the momentum is clearly insufficient."

Shi Quan shook his head slightly and said, "Although there are only a few thousand people, don't forget, everyone who can enter Wuhun City is a Spirit Master."

The entire continent only has about one hundred thousand Spirit Masters, so one-twentieth of them are here; this number is already quite astonishing.

"And most of them are Spirit Masters from the Spirit Hall," Dugu Yan added.

"That is only on the surface."

"As expected of the Spirit Hall," Yu Feng clicked his tongue.

There are so many in Wuhun City alone, not to mention those remaining within the borders of the two Empires; the number of Spirit Masters controlled by the Spirit Hall is indeed high.

As the most powerful force on the continent, the massive base of Spirit Masters is one of the sources of its confidence.

On the other side, the Shrek Team.

Flender also excitedly passed on the news that their first-round opponent was the Blazing Academy.

Just as everyone was wondering why Flender was so happy, Flender announced the news that the Blazing Academy had voluntarily forfeited the match.

Upon hearing this, the Shrek group was overjoyed; in this way, they were effectively exempt from both the first and second rounds of competition and could directly participate in the third round.

On the stage, a Cardinal of the Spirit Hall took the stage to announce the start of the Grand Finals, while simultaneously announcing the matchup list and the list of teams receiving a bye. Under the direction of the referees specifically selected by the Spirit Hall, the competition began.

The first match ended quickly, and for the second match, it was the Kamikaze Academy against the Dragon Kui Academy of the Star Luo Empire.

"Why do the people from the Kamikaze Academy still have fire attributes?" Yu Feng looked at Huo Wu and the others on the stage who were radiating flames, his face full of confusion.

"Those are people from the Blazing Academy," Shi Quan said, raising his eyes.

"Why would people from the Blazing Academy appear in the Kamikaze Academy's team?" Dugu Yan was also full of shock and suspicion.

"Yeah? Isn't it said that participating academies cannot change members halfway through?" Yu Feng looked at Shi Quan.

Shi Quan explained, "It should be a loophole in the rules. You can't change members, but it didn't say students couldn't temporarily switch academies."

Ye Lingling gripped Shi Quan's hand, frowned, and said, "Then couldn't people from other academies use the same method to combine into even stronger teams?"

"That shouldn't work. First of all, the competition quotas are already fixed; after participating, it is impossible to change academies. Moreover, the Spirit Hall would not allow so many academies to exploit this loophole, so there is no need to worry too much."

Yu Feng curled his lips and said, "The Spirit Hall is this generous? They would actually let the Blazing Academy do this? I'm afraid people from other academies won't be reconciled, right?"

"So what if they aren't reconciled?" Shi Quan smiled lightly, "Since the Spirit Hall has permitted it, the Blazing Academy must have paid a price. As for the Empire side, the strengthened Kamikaze Academy still belongs to the Heaven Dou Empire's side, and the Empire is naturally happy to see this scene. In the end, the only ones who lose are the Blazing Academy, so this matter will eventually just be left unsettled."
