"Heaven Dou!"
"Heaven Dou!"
The mountain-shaking, tsunami-like cheers almost brought down the entire Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.
Inside the arena, the gazes of nearly a hundred thousand spectators burned like torches, all focusing in unison on the young team stepping steadily out of the tunnel.
At the head of the team, the leading figure stood tall with deep, Double-pupiled eyes and an extraordinary bearing, completely ignoring the monstrous waves of sound and the intense gazes from the stands.
At the same time.
In the very center of the arena, a VIP platform stood tall.
Upon the VIP platform, in the position with the best view.
Emperor Xue Ye, dressed in a crimson-gold robe and wearing a Nine-Bend Purple Gold Crown, sat upright in the center.
To his left sat a refined middle-aged man with a face as smooth as jade; it was none other than the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi.
He wore a smile, his eyes gentle yet deep, carrying a hint of wisdom.
To Ning Fengzhi's left was Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe.
He was intently watching the scene on the plaza below.
When he saw Yang Yuan leading the way out of the tunnel, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
His handsome appearance and extraordinary bearing made her couldn't help but recall their first meeting in the Star Dou Great Forest.
At that time, Yang Yuan was still just a little brat.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, that little brat had grown so tall and handsome.
At this moment, Emperor Xue Ye withdrew his gaze from the plaza below and turned toward the old man sitting to his right, who was dressed in a black robe embroidered with gold patterns.
"Bishop Salas, what do you think of the bearing of these young talents from my Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
Hearing Emperor Xue Ye's somewhat boastful inquiry, Salas remained expressionless. He withdrew his deep gaze from the extraordinary young man below and replied with a forced smile.
"Isn't Your Majesty asking what you already know? These young people from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy have extraordinary bearings and are clearly not destined for mediocrity. It seems that in this tournament, Heaven Dou Academy is bound to shine brilliantly."
"Hahahaha!" After hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye looked at Salas's gloomy old face and couldn't help but laugh heartily.
After all, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was the facade of the Heaven Dou Empire.
The performance of the Heaven Dou teams naturally showcased the majesty of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Especially since Emperor Xue Ye had also learned from the Crown Prince.
Yang Yuan was expected to turn the final round of the Soul Master Tournament into an internal battle for Heaven Dou Academy, which made him feel unprecedentedly excited.
Because this meant that the younger generation of the Heaven Dou Empire would suppress the geniuses of the Spirit Hall Academy, the Star Luo Empire, and all other kingdoms outside the threshold of the finals.
What kind of glory would that be?
What kind of deterrence?
If that day truly came, it would not only be a victory for Heaven Dou Academy.
It would be the most powerful proof of the Empire's flourishing Luck and the emergence of many talents!
One must know that the Heaven Dou Empire's national strength had been declining over the years; if not for Spirit Hall's intervention, the Star Luo Empire would likely have mobilized its troops and attacked long ago.
Therefore, Emperor Xue Ye hoped more than anyone that the Heaven Dou Main and Vice Teams could charge into the final round and take both the championship and runner-up spots to restore the glory of Heaven Dou.
The plaza below the VIP platform.
When the announcer's voice rang out again, another team wearing white uniforms with gold trim stepped out of the tunnel with high spirits.
Dugu Yan walked at the very front, her posture agile and her aura spirited like an unsheathed sword, instantly drawing countless focused gazes.
Behind her were Ye Lingling, the Shi Family Brothers, Yu Feng, Oslo, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Meng Yiran!
After this period of tempering, they exuded a surging fighting spirit and were full of vigor.
From all directions within the Great Spirit Arena, deafening cheers erupted once more.
"The one in the lead, is that Poison Douluo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan?"
Emperor Xue Ye's gaze lingered on Dugu Yan for a moment as he spoke with a smile.
Among the Three Committee Members of Heaven Dou Academy sitting behind him, Meng Shenji replied with a smile.
"Replying to Your Majesty, she is indeed the granddaughter of His Excellency Poison Douluo. She is now a Rank 52 Spirit King. In all of Heaven Dou Academy, her Rank is the highest after Yang Yuan."
After Meng Shenji finished speaking, a look of shock instantly appeared on the faces of many around them.
How old was Dugu Yan? She was already Rank 52?
Salas's expression also darkened. As the Platinum Bishop of the Heaven Dou City branch, he had naturally heard of Dugu Yan's name.
But that was years ago; he never expected that in just a few short years, Dugu Yan would actually break through to become a Spirit King.
One must know that the three members of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation were also only Spirit Kings now.
Besides this, Salas was also puzzled.
Why was a Genius like Dugu Yan not assigned to the Heaven Dou Main Team?
Was Heaven Dou Academy so arrogant that they thought Yang Yuan alone could defeat the Spirit Hall team?
So what if he was a Spirit Emperor?
A pack of wolves can still bite a tiger to death!
Although the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall were only Spirit Kings, they did not lack records of defeating Spirit Emperors when working together.
Just a mere Spirit Emperor... While Salas was deep in thought, Emperor Xue Ye looked at Dugu Yan's figure.
"If I remember correctly, Poison Douluo's granddaughter doesn't seem to be twenty years old yet, right?"
Meng Shenji smiled and said, "Still seven or eight months away."
Hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Poison Douluo has a successor!"
Everyone smiled and chimed in, while Ning Fengzhi looked at the figure walking slightly behind in the Heaven Dou Vice Team, a flash of gratification in his eyes.
Sending Rongrong to Heaven Dou Academy back then was indeed the right choice.
Otherwise, even with an InnateRank 9 spirit power, Rongrong couldn't have reached Rank 36 at her current age.
With such talent, evolving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into an Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in the future would basically be a certainty.
As for wanting to evolve it into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda... Ning Fengzhi narrowed his eyes, a glint of wisdom flashing within them.
A thought flashed through his mind.
Perhaps after the Soul Master Tournament ended, he should personally pay a visit to Dugu Bo.
Of course, it wasn't that he hadn't visited Dugu Bo before, but Dugu Bo had flatly refused him.
So this time, Ning Fengzhi planned to try approaching Dugu Yan first.
If he could persuade Dugu Yan, things would be much easier... After the Heaven Dou Main Team and Heaven Dou Vice Team entered the plaza, other teams also entered one after another.
Inside the Great Spirit Arena, the shouting was still earth-shaking, but compared to the shock and passion brought by the appearance of the first two teams, it had diminished somewhat.
And when the Five Elements Academy entered the plaza and saw the lineups of the Heaven Dou Main and Vice Teams, they all showed expressions of astonishment.
Dugu Yan and the others actually appeared in the Heaven Dou Vice Team!
At this moment, they finally understood why Yang Yuan had said what he did.
With Dugu Yan leading the Heaven Dou Vice Team, there was another formidable enemy in this Qualifiers and Promotion Round!
Aside from the Kamikaze and Tianshui Academies, which still held a last shred of hope.
The Thunder and Blazing Academies both considered themselves no match for the Heaven Dou Vice Team.
As for the Elephant Armored Academy, it had long been collectively ignored by the other four academies.
Although they were all part of the Five Elements Academy, the other four academies didn't take Elephant Armored Academy seriously at all.
After all the teams had made their appearances, the announcer called out the name of the final academy.
"Next to enter is the final team of the Heaven Dou Division—"
"The Shrek Academy Team!"
