As the Grand Finals officially began.
All teams first returned to their respective Rest Areas.
After a short while.
The captains of the teams were called away by the Organizing Committee to draw lots for the top sixteen matches.
All the team captains looked extremely nervous.
The first round of drawing lots was crucial.
If they drew a slightly weaker team, the probability of entering the top eight would be much higher.
Before long.
All sixteen teams gathered together.
"Oh? Isn't this my coward little brother, Dai Mubai?"
"What? You're also participating in this competition?"
Dai Weisi, the captain of the Star Luo Royal Team, instantly spotted Dai Mubai.
He walked forward haughtily to greet him.
Due to the Star Luo Imperial Family's rule that 'princes must duel each other'.
Dai Mubai and Dai Weisi had been competing since childhood.
Fearing competition with Dai Weisi for the Throne, Dai Mubai had once fled the Imperial Family.
Dai Weisi, adhering to traditional rules, treated Dai Mubai as an enemy.
What he hadn't expected was that his good little brother, whom he hadn't seen for years, had now turned into a little sister.
Hearing the familiar voice.
Dai Mubai turned his head and saw that the person was his older brother.
Fear showed in his eyes.
"Dai Weisi~ You are actually here too?"
That soft, feminine gasp and the heavy makeup instantly froze Dai Weisi for three seconds.
His pupils widened, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
He thought.
Is this neither male nor female thing in front of me really my brother Dai Mubai?
Illusion!
It must be an illusion!
"You are... Dai Mubai?" After closing his eyes and recovering from the shock he had just received.
Dai Weisi issued a soul-searching question.
Dai Mubai, fluttering his Orchid Finger, said, "It's me. What? Are you surprised to see little old me?"
"Hmph!"
"It is certainly very surprising."
"I never expected you to turn into this neither male nor female appearance."
"In that case, there's no need for the two of us to compete. The Throne will definitely be mine."
Dai Weisi sneered.
Dai Mubai, however, was displeased and cursed, "Who says I'm neither male nor female? This is called soft, feminine beauty."
Dai Weisi was utterly disgusted.
He decided not to pay attention to Dai Mubai anymore.
Soon.
The Organizing Committee instructed the captains of each small team to come forward and draw lots in sequence.
Jin Mian drew the number: 1.
And the team competing against him was a Star Luo Empire team that drew the number 2.
Without giving the opponent any chance to show their capabilities.
Jin Mian and Ye Lingling ended the battle at the fastest possible speed.
They qualified for the top eight matches.
The other participating teams also displayed their unique skills.
Take Tang San, for example.
To let everyone know his strength.
During the match, it was entirely his solo performance.
All the fighting was done by him alone.
The others were only responsible for resting.
It only took one day.
All sixteen teams completed their matches.
Ultimately.
Those who qualified for the top eight were.
Hall of Worship Team, Spirit Hall Team, Divine Wind Team, Shrek Team, Huang Dou Team, Star Luo Royal Team, Blazing Fire Team, and Heaven Water Team.
However, as the participating teams returned to their Hotels to rest.
The eyes of all the Titled Douluo present simultaneously focused on Shrek Academy.
To be precise, they were staring at Xiao Wu.
The current Xiao Wu did not possess a Divine Grade Immortal Herb like the Yearning Heartbroken Red.
This resulted in her Spirit Beast aura being completely impossible to conceal.
The moment the battle started earlier.
The Titled Douluo present recognized her identity as a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast.
Considering the large and mixed crowd present.
They did not immediately take action.
In fact, Xiao Wu originally planned to quietly leave Tang San temporarily after participating in the Promotion Matches.
Because she knew.
Spirit Hall was full of experts.
Although she had transformed into Human Form, as long as she encountered a Titled Douluo, her Spirit Beast identity would be seen through in moments.
By then, she wouldn't be able to escape even if she wanted to.
But she couldn't let go of Tang San in her heart.
Finally, Xiao Wu, for the sake of Love.
Gritted her teeth and hardened her heart.
Decided to stay... Nighttime.
Jin Mian was meditating in the Mimicry Cultivation Environment.
Suddenly.
He felt an aura approaching. After careful investigation, he smiled faintly: "Great Grandfather, do you enjoy staying up late so much? You're not sleeping so late just to see me."
Qian Daoliu walked in, stroking his beard, and chuckled, "Your Perception is getting stronger and stronger, kid. I deliberately concealed all my aura, yet you still managed to notice me."
Being interrupted like this.
Jin Mian had no choice but to temporarily end his meditation.
"So, Great Grandfather, is there something you need me for?"
"I came to see you today just to tell you something related to that Shrek Academy."
Qian Daoliu then recounted the matter of Xiao Wu being a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast who had undergone Human Transformation.
"How about it?"
"Do you need me to step in, capture that Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast, and imprison her?"
"So she can become your spirit ring later?"
Qian Daoliu stated his idea.
Jin Mian shook his head and replied, "No need. A Soft Bones Rabbit Spirit Beast doesn't match my Golden Crocodile King very well."
"Besides, you are certainly not the only one who noticed Xiao Wu's identity."
"Bibi Dong must have noticed as well."
"Furthermore, I am certain that after the competition ends, that woman will definitely make a move to kill Xiao Wu and plunder the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast."
"At that time, we can make our move to deal with Xiao Wu and eliminate Tang San along the way, cutting off future troubles."
Hearing this.
Qian Daoliu nodded.
Since Jin Mian had a plan, he would not interfere for now.
After instructing him to rest early,
Qian Daoliu left... God Realm.
Asura Temple.
Asura God took in Tang San's recent situation.
Upon seeing that Yu Xiaogang actually made Tang San cultivate a Second Spirit for a mere competition.
He immediately crushed the wine glass in his hand.
"Damn Yu Xiaogang, this guy really is The Source of All Evil!"
"He actually destroyed the foundation of the successor personally chosen by this God King!"
"It's over, Tang San is basically crippled."
"If this fellow wants to Become a God in the future, I'll have to give him special treatment and go easy on him."
"But if I do that, Destruction will definitely notice."
"How annoying!"
At this moment, Asura God was beyond irritated.
But after the irritation subsided.
He sighed again.
He thought.
After all, this was the successor he had painstakingly chosen.
Although his foundation was destroyed.
It wasn't impossible to restore.
He just needed to use Asura God Power to give him some special treatment.
And set the rewards in the Godly Trials to be more generous later on.
Immediately after.
The scene shifted.
It showed the conversation between Jin Mian and Qian Daoliu.
When he learned that Destruction's successor planned to kill Tang San after the competition.
Asura God immediately became anxious.
"How dare you!"
"You dare to try and harm this God's successor!"
"No, I must arrange a powerful helper for Tang San."
But now Tang San's father, Tang Hao, had already been taken care of.
He's almost ready for elementary school now.
Who else could help Tang San?
His own luck had recently hit rock bottom, so he couldn't easily intervene.
Before long.
He thought of a candidate...
