People in Douluo: Becoming a God through Simulation Panel

Chapter 176: Epic music, mutual calculation
The day of the Soul Master Competition finals arrived as scheduled. Under the leadership of the Spirit Hall deacons, the Tiandou Royal Team represented by Wang Qi passed through layers of defense and arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Pope's Palace was located.

Wuhun City is located at the junction of the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire, on the outermost mountain range of the Xingdou Great Forest. On its east side is a large plain, which is considered one of the gateways to the Xingdou Great Forest.

It can be said that as long as a beast tide occurs in the Xingdou Great Forest, Wuhun City will inevitably be impacted. In fact, because of Wuhun City’s location, it will bear the greatest impact from soul beasts.

This is one of the reasons why Spirit Hall is the strongest force on the continent and can maintain its transcendent status.

Following the deacon team to the mountainside, what came into view was an angel statue carved entirely from white marble, followed by an extremely magnificent hall. Although no one was here to release the soul power pressure, Wang Qi could still feel the magnificent and sacred atmosphere in the hall.

"Is that the Pope's Palace? It's not simple."

Wang Qi thought to himself, and at the same time looked behind the Pope's Palace. There was a small path leading to the top of the mountain. Although it was hidden, it was not difficult to find in Wang Qi's eyes.

"That path should be the path leading to the Temple of Worship on the top of the mountain. Tsk tsk tsk, the Temple of Worship is above the Pope's Palace. If you can't subdue the Temple of Worship, you will be restricted even if you become the Pope."

What is the Worship Hall? It can be said that the Worship Hall is the true foundation of the Spirit Hall. Although there are few people in the Worship Hall, there are only seven people at present, but these seven people can directly destroy all forces on the Douluo Continent, including the Spirit Hall.

There are seven Super Douluo above level ninety-six, one Super Douluo at level ninety-eight, and one Peerless Douluo at level ninety-nine. It's terrifying just to think about it.

"I'm quite curious about what the offering hall on the top of the mountain looks like. Even though I'm one of the offerings now, I've never been to the offering hall once."

Wang Qi said to himself, while observing the forces in the square at the moment.

The square is very large, with a length and width of more than 500 meters. Directly in front of the steps, it is surrounded by various forces and the Spirit Hall forces, forming a circular arena with a diameter of about 100 meters.

If nothing unexpected happens, that should be the venue for the Soul Master Competition finals.

As for the viewing experience? Anyone who can watch the game on site has at least Soul Emperor cultivation. Wang Qi roughly sensed that there are nearly 500 Soul Emperors, and these people are wearing various deacon uniforms, which is quite spectacular.

More than five hundred Soul Emperors, this force is a huge force even if placed in any other organization other than the Spirit Hall, and this is just the face that the Spirit Hall gives to its external muscles.

No one would really believe that the Spirit Hall would gather all of its Soul Emperors and put them on the stage just for the sake of face, right?
In addition to the group of Soul Emperor deacons, there are also some sects and family forces that are quite famous on the mainland.

For example, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect of the upper three sects and all of the lower four sects. Oh, and of course there is also a team from the Five Elements Academy wearing the uniform of the Five Elements Academy.

The sun rose slowly, melting the mist that had accumulated in the early morning. The three participating teams, led by the deacons' teams, came to their respective rest areas, waiting for the Soul Master Competition finals to begin.

Woo woo woo.
The sound of the horn sounded, and all kinds of ritual instruments that Wang Qi had never seen or even heard of gradually appeared. Looking at their styles and listening to their sounds, Wang Qi seemed to see the scene ten thousand years ago when soul masters were constantly being squeezed out of their living space under the threat of soul beasts.

The Angel God stood up and led the soul masters to fight bravely. In the end, because of his great achievements, he became the Angel God and flew to the divine realm.

However, this is not the end, but only the beginning. Wang Qi seemed to see everything that the Spirit Hall has done from ancient times to thousands of years ago and to today. It has prospered, declined, and risen again after experiencing countless hardships.

One after another, epic stories that are worthy of praise are played out in my mind along with the majestic music that flows into the sea.

Even Wang Qi couldn't help but sigh. This was the foundation of the Spirit Hall, a hall that had existed on the continent for ten thousand years and was the foundation of the most powerful force.

The music stopped, and the door of the Pope's Palace opened. Two rows of bishops in red robes appeared on the left and right sides. They walked down the steps in an orderly manner and stood in line. Obviously, these twenty-four people were all Soul Saints, but they gave people the feeling that their existence was just a prelude.

Then four platinum bishops from the Spirit Hall appeared. The four of them stood at the end of the red cardinal and continued to wait.

In the Pope's Palace, two golden lights flashed, and two extremely strong auras spread wantonly in the square.

Two men in golden armor lagged behind by half a body length, followed by a man in a purple dress and a papal robe, holding a papal scepter, as if standing there represented the word majesty itself.

Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, is a name that is known to everyone, from infants to old men in their octogenarians, from the leaders of major forces to the common people working in the fields. She is one of the strongest people on the continent and the actual controller of the Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong, the current Pope of Spirit Hall!

No matter how this kind of woman looks, whether she is ugly or beautiful, in such an occasion, especially after listening to such magnificent music, the majesty she exudes is so great that those with less power cannot even think of looking her in the eye.

Just look at Yu Xiaogang next to him and you will know. Even though Yu Xiaogang thinks he has a close relationship with Bibi Dong, he still keeps his head down and dares not look her in the eye.

"Everyone."

The rhetoric is still the same, the process is still the same, and the reward is still the same. The difference from the original novel is that in this Soul Master Competition final, there was no plot in which Yu Xiaogang directly exploited a loophole in the game and slapped Bibi Dong in the face.

Yu Xiaogang used Tang Hao's Spirit Hall elder token to find Bibi Dong in advance and asked for a spectator seat for the Spirit Master Competition for the Five Elements Academy.

Bibi Dong was curious and after investigation she vaguely guessed what Yu Xiaogang was thinking, so she took Yu Xiaogang's path, leaving him with no way out.

Whether submitting the list of participants in advance or locking in the contestants is to prevent Yu Xiaogang from making mistakes and ruthlessly insulting the rules of the Soul Master Competition and the reputation of the Spirit Hall.

However, the originally foolproof plan was unexpectedly disclosed. The competition still consisted of two rounds. The first round was an individual competition, one-on-one. The winner would continue and the loser would step down directly.

The second round of team competition, the seven-person team competition, was no different from the previous competition. Whether it was an individual competition or a team competition, the winner was calculated in the form of points, and the two players competed against each other. Whoever had the highest points at the end would be the final champion.

Among the three teams, the Spirit Hall team has the strongest overall strength on paper, followed by the Tiandou Royal Academy, and the Blue Overlord Academy is the weakest. If the Blue Overlord Academy wants to win the final victory in this environment, it must use some tricks.

For example, they could give up the individual competition, use the points from the individual competition as bait, sit back and watch the fight between the Tiandou Royal Team and the Wuhun Hall Team, and then in the afternoon match, even if the two teams see through the thoughts and calculations of Blue Overlord Academy, they will still have conflicts because of the individual competition in the morning, and then Blue Overlord Academy will reap the benefits.

Of course, it doesn’t matter even if the two sides don’t proceed according to Yu Xiaogang’s idea. Yu Xiaogang still has a trump card, a trump card that in Yu Xiaogang’s eyes can definitely defeat any team.

So Yu Xiaogang gave up his individual competition points.

The situation with the Spirit Hall team was interesting. Like the Blue Bully Academy team, they directly gave up the individual competition.

As for the purpose, it was very simple. He was definitely no match for Wang Qi. Even if he couldn't beat Wang Qi in a round-robin battle, he felt it was meaningless.

There is another more important reason, that is, both Qiangu Yifeng and Yang Chan wanted to compete with Wang Qi who was at the peak of his career. They were unable to convince each other, and finally the Spirit Hall team had no choice but to give up the individual competition.

Of course, there was Hu Liena's connivance in this. Yes, it was connivance. Hu Liena was the captain of the Spirit Hall team. In terms of her personal identity, Hu Liena was the disciple of Pope Bibi Dong, and she was also the absolute core of the three people of the golden generation. So she had a good status, power, and the right to speak. If Hu Liena, who had a high status, had not spoken, it would have been impossible for her to directly forfeit this individual competition.

Now let’s talk about the Tiandou Royal Team. After an hour of extremely serious discussion, the Tiandou Royal Team finally decided to give up the individual competition.

As for the reason, it is very simple. Wang Qi wants to watch the fun of the other two teams. Also, the individual points in the Soul Master Competition finals are not that important compared to the team competition.

Everyone agreed to the deal of exchanging a not particularly important exam for an important piece of information, so the three teams that entered the finals of the Soul Master Competition actually gave up the individual competition at the same time.

This made Bibi Dong, who had just announced the championship rewards, stunned after seeing the list, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.

"Ahem, Your Holiness, I am Wang Qi, the captain of the Tiandou Royal Team. Because I just came out of seclusion not long ago, and because I accidentally killed someone in Wuhun City, Your Holiness has shown me kindness and only banned me from using soul skills for the next month."

"Due to the lack of relevant intelligence, in order to win the Soul Master Competition, I had no choice but to give up the individual competition and gather intelligence by observing the Spirit Hall team and the Blue Domination Academy team."

At this time, in order not to drop the words on the ground, it is very necessary to explain. No matter how fake the words are, it is better to explain than to directly slap the Pope in the face.

What's more, what Wang Qi said was in line with his interests. At least Wang Qi had used his brain. At the same time, Wang Qi did not give up the final championship position. Even if today's events were reported to the Tiandou Empire, it would not have much to do with Wang Qi.

Of course, if Wang Qi can finally win the championship, it means that Wang Qi is in charge of all the plans and decisions in the future, and he will be known as a man of both civil and military talents.

"Well, I understand. What about you?"

Bibi Dong looked at the other two teams, still calm.

At this moment, both the Spirit Hall team and the Blue Bully Academy team didn't understand what was going on.

They all thought they had given up on the individual competition, but they didn't know that the other two teams had also given up on the individual competition. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, especially after Wang Qi stood up and said those words. The atmosphere became a little better, but the other two teams became even more embarrassed.

There are two ways to break the deadlock. One is to say one, two, three, four like Wang Qi did. The other is to refuse directly and use the excuse that there are no rules.

If Blue Overlord Academy was renamed Shrek Academy at this moment, Yu Xiaogang would probably choose the second option directly. But now, Yu Xiaogang, who has a clear understanding of himself and whose Pope's Order was taken away by Bibi Dong, is a flexible Yu Xiaogang who naturally chooses the first option.

"Our idea is similar to that of the Heaven Dou Royal Team. First, we want to test Wang Qi's abilities. After all, Wang Qi is too mysterious. Ever since the Heavenly Prodigy Ranking came out, Wang Qi has been ranked first on the list. A month ago, he even defeated my disciple Tang San. At that time, Wang Qi still hadn't used his spirit or even spirit skills. We hope to leverage the power of the Spirit Hall team to test Wang Qi's abilities and finally win the Spirit Master Competition."

It's already the finals, and it would be hypocritical to say that you don't want to compete for the championship. Although Yu Xiaogang is hypocritical, he also knows when to say what.

At this time, you should be like Wang Qi and be honest, which is the killer move.

"Your Highness, we have different ideas. The members of the Spirit Hall team, including me, want to fight Wang Qi in his strongest state. Even if we lose in the end, we are willing to do so. However, if we fight Wang Qi in a round-robin battle, even if we defeat Wang Qi in the end, it is not what we want. If we want to win, we must win fairly. This is our Spirit Hall and this is the team formed by our Spirit Hall."

Hu Liena also told the truth and did not hide anything.

As soon as the three teams said this, the already quiet square became even quieter. It seemed that everyone was shocked by the words of the three teams, or perhaps everyone felt that the people in the three teams were too naive.

But it is undeniable that everyone present looked at all the members of the three teams and had to admit that they were envious, especially those members who were not from the Spirit Hall. They very much wanted such a team and those people in the team who knew how to think and were brave enough to take responsibility.

"Yes, seeing you today reminds me of my youth. In you, I see the future of the soul master world. In the future, the soul master world belongs to you."

"You two are calculating against each other very well, but this has created a new problem. Because of your own ideas, the first round of the Soul Master Competition finals was directly scrapped, and all three teams entered the team competition with zero points."

"I'm worried that you will all give up the team competition for some other reasons. In that case, let's make some adjustments to the team competition rules for this Soul Master Competition finals."

"This arena is big enough. It can accommodate three teams fighting at the same time."

"Today's finals will see three teams fighting on the stage at the same time. The side with the most people left will be the champion of this Soul Master Competition. How do you think?"
