Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 364 The competition concludes, awards ceremony

The six-winged angel, who had been holy for thousands of years, had become so depraved. Qian Daoliu's grief was beyond words.

But things have come to this, and it was the granddaughter's own choice. Although it was against her will, since she had already fallen into darkness, she could only grit her teeth and continue down this path.

……

Day two.

On the eve of the finals.

In the Tian Dou Royal Academy area, Xue Qinghe had returned to his humble and polite demeanor, showing no trace of the previous night.

Even more impressive than before, it was no longer just about appearance and demeanor, but about having something of its own.

Darkness lives in the light, relying on disguise. Take Bibi Dong, for example. Who would have thought that beneath her elegant and noble appearance lay a dark and evil heart?

This disguise was so perfect that only Ye Lingling, who possessed the inheritance of the God of Love, vaguely sensed Xue Qinghe's abnormality.

Most people know in their hearts that today's final is just a formality; the real focus is on the awards ceremony after the final.

Sure enough, half a birthday later.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's seed team and the Four Elements Academy's Wind and Fire Team only symbolically exchanged a few moves, without even using their soul skills.

After that, Feng Xiaotian conceded defeat on behalf of the Four Elements Academy.

The finals of this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament ended so hastily.

The top three rankings of the competition are now available:
Champion: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Seed Team

Runner-up: Wind and Fire Team of Four Elements Academy

Third Place: Eating and Drinking Team

The awards ceremony will begin immediately after the finals, and the awards will be presented in the ring.

The representatives from the three teams who would receive the awards had already been decided well in advance.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School: Ning Rongrong.

Four Elements Academy: Feng Xiaotian.

Eating and Drinking Team: Yi Shuihan.

Of the three who received the award, Ning Rongrong and Feng Xiaotian were already on the stage, while Yi Shuihan, unable to contain his excitement, hurriedly ran up.

The first award presented was to the third-place winner, and the person in charge of presenting the award was Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the four sponsors of the competition.

The seven soul bones awarded to the third-place winner are:
A 70,000-year-old head bone.

A 60,000-year-old right arm bone.

A fifty-thousand-year-old torso bone.

A left arm bone that is 50,000 years old.

A right leg bone that is 50,000 years old.

Two left leg bones, each 50,000 years old.

Apart from the right leg bone provided by the Spirit Hall, the other six soul bones were all produced by sea spirit beasts.

The champion team of this competition came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. As the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi should have been qualified to award the champion team. However, the reason why he gave up awarding the award to his daughter and chose the third-place team, the Eating and Drinking Team, was that he had the intention of recruiting them.

Of the four inheritors of the Divine Gods in the Eating and Drinking Team, only the team captain, Yi Shuihan, comes from a family of Soul Masters; the other three are all commoners.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School prefers genius soul masters from commoner backgrounds, especially battle soul masters.

Ning Fengzhi handed the seven lead boxes to Yi Shuihan one by one. Yi Shuihan opened each lead box one by one, and after confirming that the soul bones were correct, she closed the lead boxes with peace of mind and solemnly put them into the soul guide device.

Of these seven soul bones, each of the four of them must possess at least one; the remaining three will be decided upon after further discussion. After the third-place finisher, it will be the runner-up's turn.

Since the Four Elements Academy was not among the eight organizers (sponsors) of the competition, the person who presented the runner-up award was not the dean of the Divine Wind Academy, but an elder of the Body Sect, one of the four sponsors.

The reason why the runner-up was not awarded by another sponsor is that all three teams that made it to the top three in the competition came from the Heaven Dou Empire. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School awarded the third place, and since the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School was not present, only the Star Crown School and the Body School were awarded.

Furthermore, since the Star Crown Sect originated from the Star Luo Empire, they would not invite trouble, so the person who presented the runner-up award could only be a member of the Body Sect.

Since the sect leader of the Body Sect, Du Huang, was mindful of his status, he did not personally participate in the event. However, the status of the person presenting the award could not be too low, so a sect elder at the Title Douluo level was just right to serve as the runner-up award presenter.

The seven soul bones awarded to the runner-up are:
An 80,000-year-old left arm bone.

A 70,000-year-old head bone.

A 60,000-year-old torso bone.

A 50,000-year-old right arm bone.

A right leg bone that is 50,000 years old.

Two left leg bones, each 50,000 years old.

These seven soul bones are slightly better than the seven soul bones of the third place winner, but not by much. However, they are still the same in one aspect: apart from the one provided by the Spirit Hall, the other six soul bones were all produced by sea spirit beasts.

Although there may be a difference of 10,000 to 20,000 years between the two soul bones, the lifespan of all of them is between 50,000 and 100,000 years, so the difference of 10,000 to 20,000 years will not have a qualitative impact.

Feng Xiaotian took the lead box from the elder of the Body Sect. No matter how calm he was, he could not hide his extreme excitement when he opened the lead box and saw the soul bone.

Not to mention Feng Xiaotian, even the elder of the Body Sect who presented him with the award couldn't help but feel greedy and want to possess the soul bone in the lead box.

If it weren't for the fact that the Soul Arena was filled with powerful figures at this moment, and that an ordinary Title Douluo would only face certain death if he seized the Soul Bone, this Elder of the Body Sect would have truly wanted to follow his greed.

After the runner-up, it's time for the final and most anticipated award ceremony for the champion.

The person to present the award to the champion had to be chosen from the four organizers of the competition. The Spirit Hall had the advantage of having the venue and the most say, but since the champion team was not from their own organization, they gave up the opportunity.

With the Spirit Hall giving up and the Sea God Empire leaving, and the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire being arch-enemies, the person awarding the championship prize could only come from the Heaven Dou Empire.

Within Wuhun City, the only person in the Heaven Dou Empire qualified to present the championship award was Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

As the champion's award ceremony began, everyone perked up, not for any other reason than to take one more look at the three 100,000-year-old soul bones in the champion's prize.

The right arm bone of the 100,000-year-old luminous unicorn.

The head bone of a 100,000-year-old demonic sea anemone.

The left leg bone of a 100,000-year-old demonic great white shark.

Besides these three 100,000-year-old soul bones, the remaining four soul bones are:

The skeleton of an 80,000-year-old golden sea turtle.

The head of the 70,000-year-old Netherworld Conch.

The right leg bone of a 70,000-year-old blue-ringed octopus.

Left leg bone of a 70,000-year-old spiny-footed hermit crab.

After receiving the seven lead boxes containing soul bones from Xue Qinghe, Ning Rongrong simply opened the lids, glanced at them, and calmly put them away.

The reason is simple: none of the seven soul bones here belong to him.

Leaving aside whether those three 100,000-year-old soul bones overlap with the soul bones she has already absorbed, even if they don't, their attributes don't match the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

As for the remaining four soul bones, only the torso bone of the golden sea turtle is barely related to the gem soul bone. Unfortunately, Ning Rongrong has already absorbed a gem torso bone, so the golden sea turtle torso bone is out of her reach.
