A bright morning dawned. In Yuan Longxuan's room, Xiao Wu, Ru Yan, and Er Long....all three generals....had been defeated by him.
Though they had attempted a tag-team battle, they ultimately lost to Yuan Longxuan, who had spent all night conquering the battlefield. For him, it was nothing more than child's play.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
The Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament was about to begin.
This grand martial spirit competition was the largest in the Soul Master world, initiated and hosted by the royal families of the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires, co-organized by the Spirit Hall. Its participants' strength was second only to the Spirit Hall Elite Selection Tournament.
Several rules applied:
1. Participating academies must send students under twenty-five years old, with at least seven participants per match.
2. The tournament was meant for friendly sparring. Injuries should be avoided, and deaths were strictly forbidden.
3. Any academy causing a death would face expulsion from the tournament and bear full responsibility.
Yuan Longxuan was currently in the academy, explaining the tournament to the girls.
"Before the official competition, several preliminary rounds will be held in separate regions.
Within the Heaven Dou Empire, centered on Heaven Dou City, all advanced Soul Master academies under direct imperial rule will compete in the preliminary rounds there."
"Academies from other kingdoms and duchies will hold preliminaries in their regions.
The Heaven Dou Empire has four kingdoms and one duchy. Including the Heaven Dou City region, there will be six preliminary regions in total."
"Excluding the team already qualified for the finals, these six regions compete for fifteen qualifying spots.
Heaven Dou City, due to its size and imperial status, has five spots.
Each of the four kingdoms and the duchy gets two spots.
The Star Luo Empire follows a similar arrangement."
"In other words, thirty teams will advance to the finals.
Before the finals, there is a ranking-based qualifying round to determine the order of appearance."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up.
"Under twenty-five? Brother Yuan Longxuan, does this mean I can compete too?"
Though a teacher, her age fit—only 23 or 24 in human years—perfectly meeting the requirement.
Shui Bing'er and the other girls were confused. Teacher Xiao Wu could compete?
"Ahem! Xiao Wu, our Tianshui team rotates. You're a teacher now; you can't compete with your students!" Yuan Longxuan was exasperated. What was Xiao Wu thinking?
Their team already had at least one level 45 Soul Master, with most being Soul Kings or higher.
They possessed formidable strength. Now a level 98 peak Super Douluo wanted to show off?
Meanwhile, the girls whispered among themselves.
"Bing'er, what is Xiao Wu's current cultivation level?"
Dugu Yan asked, puzzled. She had joined later and had never seen Xiao Wu release her Soul Rings.
"Teacher Xiao Wu is a level 98 peak Super Douluo. If she goes on stage…"
Shui Bing'er paused, then sighed.
"Invincible! Let's just give up, sisters!"
A Super Douluo competing in the tournament? They couldn't compete fairly.
Three minutes later, Xiao Wu: "Ah~ I see. Okay."
After her self-nomination was ruthlessly rejected, Xiao Wu drooped her rabbit ears and leaned against Yuan Longxuan.
Shui Bing'er and the others also showed a hint of disappointment.
The Tianshui girls: Damn, the official cheat account has been banned!
Yuan Longxuan: ("▔□▔) Seriously, how can we play without Xiao Wu? A Super Douluo bullying Soul Masters or Soul Kings is a bit unfair.
"The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament starts in a week.
Everyone should rest well and conserve energy."
"Participant selection will still use random grouping."
Currently, the Tianshui team has eleven members; if unlucky, they might not even reach the finals.
Meanwhile, inside Tiandou Royal Academy:
"According to my intel, the champion of this tournament will likely receive three extremely high-quality ten-thousand-year soul bones! We must get them!"
Tang Chuan, vice-captain of Tiandou Royal Academy, passionately shared this with the group.
Yu Tianheng and the others' eyes lit up, imagining the Blood River Treasure.
"Xiao Chuan, are you sure your info is accurate?!"
Yu Tianheng was excited but knew Tang Chuan, with his status, could not have known such critical details.
"Yes!"
As a reincarnated God King, nothing on the continent escaped his perception. Tang San.....the God of Wisdom!
