Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit.

Chapter 500 Sunday: "What would the order have been like during the Spirit Hall era?"

The quarterfinals lasted a total of three days. On the first day, Xilu City Research Academy and Shrek Academy emerged victorious, with both academies defeating their opponents in just half a day.

The next day was the showdown between Tianlongmen and Xingluo National Academy. Tianlongmen could be considered the only weak force among the present. When faced with Chun Chun Fuliju, they were inevitably crushed by the fully recovered Xingluo National Academy.

With this, both teams from Su Tong's hometown of Longcheng were eliminated, but achieving a top-eight finish in this competition is still a great honor.

The following day was the battle between the Body Sect and the Holy Spirit Sect, a neutral force in chaos versus an evil force in chaos—a veritable battle in a cesspool.

Under Tang Ya's leadership, the Holy Spirit Sect team chose to deliberately throw the game, symbolically playing both the individual and team matches.

The Holy Spirit Cult's team members also agreed with Tang Ya's decision, because they had no fighting spirit whatsoever against the ghost messengers and the underworld.

As instructed by Otto, the quarterfinals are enough; there's no need to advance further. Losing to the Body Sect is a way to explain things to Ye Xishui.

Further ahead would mean facing Xilu City or Shrek Academy, which would easily expose their identities as evil soul masters. The quarterfinals also happened to be right on the bottom line for Zhongli Wu and other high-ranking officials. Although they were somewhat dissatisfied, they would not punish them too much.

In fact, if the Holy Spirit Cult's team members were to fight the Body Sect at all costs, the outcome would be quite uncertain.

Tang Ya calculated the combat strength comparison between the two sides. Even if the Holy Spirit Cult couldn't defeat the Body Sect, it could ensure that only Tiger Staff would survive in the end.

Evil Soul Masters are notoriously bloodthirsty and cruel; by taking things by surprise, they can easily kill Long Aotian and his allies.

Tang Ya found Huzhang to be somewhat peculiar. The nature of his soul power was almost identical to that of an evil soul master, but his soul power contained a firm will, which in turn eroded the evil attribute in his soul power!

Every evil soul master who fought Tiger Staff exclaimed that they had seen a ghost. In all their years of life, this was the first time they had ever seen evil attributes influenced by the soul master's own will. It was simply the opposite of the natural order.

Based on Otto and Ye Guyi's arrangements, and considering that Xu Tianran, a dead man, shouldn't have too many troubles in the final moments of his life, after all, respect for the dead is paramount, the Holy Spirit Cult team chose to withdraw.

After the Holy Spirit Cult team left the field, Otto could clearly feel Xu Tianran let out a long sigh of relief.

If news of his collusion with evil spirit masters spreads on the magic network, he will not only lose the support of the people, but will also be questioned or even attacked by the 05 Council.

The Council of 05's decision to launch a punitive expedition is a matter of life and death. This Council not only represents the highest military force on the continent, but also, with the support of the Spirit Pagoda, the will of all forces on the continent.

Therefore, all forces across the continent will take action, and even the Soul Masters within the Sun Moon Empire will rebel against his rule.

It is precisely because of the high influence of the 05 Parliament that the mainland is so obsessed with the vacant seat of Moon.

Currently, the most enthusiastic force besides the three great empires is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. It's unclear why their sect is so obsessed with power.

They must have felt the crisis, after all, they are starting to be attacked by various new chambers of commerce in the business field and are gradually falling behind the marketing methods of the new era.

In the realm of Soul Masters, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is visibly being abandoned by the times, and the Soul Guidance Device field is being utterly crushed by the industrial groups led by Xilu City.

Although the Haotian Sect of the same era was also doing so poorly, and its title as the number one sect on the continent was taken away by the Body Sect, the Body Sect was able to contact the gods!

Does the Butterfly God really respond to requests from the lower realms? Didn't you see all those super-standard soul rings?

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School clearly had two deities in its ancestors, and even two deities were originally members of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

However, no matter how the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School tried, the two divine ancestors refused to reply to the message, and their fate remained unknown.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School also wanted to appeal to the Haotian School by appealing to their emotions, asking them to inquire with the Butterfly Goddess if she could help contact the Nine-Colored Goddess and the God of Food, and ask if they could give a definite answer as to whether they were alive or dead.

Of course, it's highly unlikely that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will obtain a seat in the 05 Council; their strength is simply insufficient, they are far too weak.

Out of courtesy, the Sun Moon Empire erected a brand-new rest tent in a corner of the stands. These tents were equipped with outdoor temperature-regulating soul tools for the defeated forces to watch the subsequent matches.

There are currently 164 defeated teams here, and none of them have chosen to leave because there is still the coronation ceremony to come. Regardless of their performance, as long as they participated in the competition, Xu Tianran has given them seats to watch the coronation ceremony.

This time, unlike other timelines, it wasn't filled with scheming. The Sun Moon Empire wanted to use this opportunity to wipe out the high-end forces of the Douluo Three Kingdoms in one fell swoop, and then launch a full-scale war.

Xu Tianran simply wanted to announce his ascension to the throne to the mainland and tell everyone that a new era for the Sun Moon Empire had arrived.

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening everyone!

"Welcome to Douluo Voice! As usual, let's start by thanking all the major chambers of commerce and our viewers for their support of the competition."

"After three days of competition, the four finalists for this tournament have been determined!"

"First and foremost is Shrek Academy, the absolute hegemon, the world-destroying dragon of the Heavenly Dou Plain! The highest mountain and the longest river in the history of the competition, since its establishment ten thousand years ago, it has almost monopolized the championship of every competition."

This year's team is stronger than ever before, arguably the strongest lineup ever. From the knockout stage to the quarterfinals, almost no team could withstand them until the final team fight.

"Next up are the Xilu City Research Academy, the Ferocious Tiger of Tiandou Plain, and Shrek Academy, who can be called the two heroes of this competition and the biggest dark horse of this competition!"

This is the first time the Xilu City Research Institute has participated in the competition; in the past, they have only sent students to watch the competition.

According to rumors, the president of the West City Research Institute is retiring and is planning to win a trophy as a reward.

Ahem! Regardless of the truth, this previously unknown academy has successfully made a name for itself. Each of the seven team members has their own unique skills, and each of them can give their opponents unexpected surprises!

Since the start of the competition, no academy has made them feel threatened; they have almost always crushed them with an absolute difference in strength.

I'm really looking forward to their epic showdown with Shrek Academy!

"The third team to advance is Xingluo National Academy, the Evergreen Team of the competition. Their lineup is also quite impressive, with Princess herself leading the team."

On behalf of the competition organizers, I would like to express my gratitude to the team leader, the Healer Douluo, from the Star Luo National Academy, for providing the strongest healing support to the contestants, allowing everyone to give their all.

"The last team to qualify is the Body Sect, the newly crowned strongest sect. Their strength is terrifying, and they are in a state of high morale after their great battle with the Holy Spirit Sect."

No matter the enemy, they will crush them with their muscles.

"We will now draw lots to determine the semi-final match schedule for the four colleges!"

As the host finished speaking, everyone held their breath and stared intently at the large screen on the competition stage, where the names of the four colleges scrolled.

The first name to appear was Xilu City Research Academy, and their opponent was the Body Sect. The match was scheduled for the first game.

The outcome was obvious: Shrek Academy versus Star Luo National Academy – a battle with no suspense whatsoever.

"The little guys are lucky; they ran into the Body Sect in the semifinals."

A murmur arose from the audience. In one corner of the seating area, a woman dressed casually, exuding an air of elegance, smiled and spoke to her companion.

Walter adjusted his glasses, his calm and reliable voice emanating from him, "The Body Sect—I wonder if it's truly random, or some kind of behind-the-scenes manipulation, saving the most exciting match for last?"

Himeko, standing to the side, seemed unconcerned, saying with an elegant smile, "No matter what, I believe the little ones won't lose."

"Walter, are the light sticks ready? We elders should cheer for Hoshi and the others too."

Walter paused, hesitated for a moment, then looked at Sunday, who was sitting obediently with his legs together like a well-behaved child, and asked, "Sunday, have you prepared your things?"

On Sunday, he paused, and looked at Walter with clear confusion in his golden eyes.

"Mr. Walter? Is that so?"

Walter nodded firmly. "You've probably been too busy lately and forgot. Don't worry, I won't blame you."

A loading symbol seemed to appear on Sunday's forehead.

He thought about it and realized that he hadn't been particularly busy lately, except for helping his sister organize a children's charity concert in the Northwest Continent. How could he have forgotten about Mr. Walter?

"I may have forgotten, I'm sorry, Mr. Walter."

I can urgently send over a batch; there's a shipment of light sticks that hasn't been delivered to the Northwest Continent yet.

Looking at Sunday's honest face, Walter suddenly felt a little guilty. This kid was too honest; he was even a little embarrassed.

Himeko suddenly interrupted the two and asked Sunday, "I heard the boss recently assigned you a task? Do you need our help?"

Sunday shook her head, her gentle voice sounding exceptionally refined, and the white feathers behind her ears, studded with gold nails, appeared particularly sacred in the sunlight.

"No need. Mr. Hogus asked me to go to the timeline where the Great God Circle is located and get the relevant data about the Great God Circle from the God of Emotions."

And I also want to see if, tens of thousands of years later, people have learned to fly and created paradises.

Himeko nodded. "Yes, by the time we got back, the portal was almost finished."

"Would you like to come with us and see the world from ten thousand years ago?"

"Of course, I'm also very curious about the world during the Spirit Hall era. What was their order like? The information on the Magic Network is too subjective." Sunday agreed. The Time Gate and the Cocoon were not secrets to them, so Huo Yuhao did not hide anything from them.
