Douluo Continent: The Phoenix God Returns

Chapter 52 Twins?

With only a few days left before the finals of the Soul Master Academy Tournament, all the well-known forces and powerful figures on the continent had arrived. Unlike other tournaments, this finals had spectators, and the defeated teams could watch the matches from the sidelines.

The Spirit Hall was preparing to showcase Ye Li and other geniuses, hoping to get some forces to take sides. The competition venue was the Great Spirit Arena in Spirit City, with seating divided into several sections: VIP area, audience area, and contestant area. This was naturally Ye Li's suggestion, as he had focused on these aspects in the memorials he had previously handled.

In the early morning, all the participating academies arrived at their exclusive rest area under the guidance of the Spirit Hall professionals. The rest area was built around the competition venue, with rows of seats in front.

The arena is circular, with a radius of about 100 meters. Its hardness is such that even the attacks of a top-level Soul Emperor cannot damage it. The Heaven Dou Empire, led by the Shrek Academy team, believes that strength is the only true measure of power.

At Flander's request, the Shrek team changed their uniforms from green to black, and the Shrek players on the field included Dai Mubai, Li Ye, Tang San, and others...

Huo Wu, unwilling to lose to an academy like Shrek Academy, resolutely joined the Shenfeng Academy team, forming the new Shenfeng Academy team. This is all Li Ye's fault; this guy, with just his sword, defeated the Blazing Fire Academy by a score of 0 to 7.

All the teams consciously made way for the Star Luo Empire team to pass. The leader, with long golden hair cascading down his back, had a lazy expression on his face. Although he was very casual, his smile still revealed a hint of a superior's smile.

Dai Mubai saw that the other party's eyes had turned cold, his fists were clenched, and his fighting spirit had reached its peak.

Davis's gaze swept over the teams from the Heaven Dou Empire, landing directly on Shrek Academy, which was closest to the Star Luo Empire's team. Looking at Dai Mubai, he said calmly, "Mubai, I didn't expect you to actually make it to the finals. Just being here is already quite an achievement, but you need to understand that what you've done forces me to take action against you."

"Davis, stop pretending. When have you ever stopped attacking me? Today on the court, we've met. You and I are enemies. If you're so capable, defeat me first. Otherwise, who will inherit the family position is still uncertain."

Davis looked at Dai Mubai, "Fine, I'd like to see what skills you've learned since you left home these past few years, that you dare to speak to your elder brother like that. No wonder Zhu Qing is with you too; it seems you're really prepared to fight us to the end?"

Davis and Zhu Zhuyun looked at Shrek's Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing with arrogant expressions, as if victory was already in their grasp.

"Zhuqing, if I remember correctly, you're not even fifteen years old yet. To participate in this competition at such a young age and make it into the top ten, I don't know whether to say you're lucky or that you're very strong. However, this is where you end up. Actually, your father and mother miss you very much, but we can't go against the ancestral rules. After the competition, you should come back with me." Zhu Zhuyun said to Zhu Zhuqing beside Davis.

"Zhu Zhuyun, you don't need to put on this act. If I hadn't left home, I might already be dead at your hands. Missing me? Is there such a thing as kinship in our family?" Zhu Zhuqing's voice grew even colder.

"Please welcome the Spirit Hall Academy team!"

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the passageway.

The members of the Spirit Hall team walked slowly, led by Ye Li, whose long light blue hair was neatly combed and draped behind her. Her gaze was calm and without a ripple. Behind her were Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena. They seemed to completely disregard them.

Ye Li looked at Xiao Wu, who trembled all over when she saw him and dared not meet his gaze. Tang San immediately stepped in front of Xiao Wu and stared intently at Ye Li.

Ye Li frowned, glanced at Tang San, and continued walking forward. In her heart, she had already sentenced Tang San: "After the competition, there will be no more Tang Sect Tang San in this world."

Oscar glanced at Ye Li, then at Li Ye, and thought to himself, "These two look so alike, are they siblings?"

The grand opening ceremony of the finals was nothing like what I had imagined. Everything was simple: a cardinal from the Spirit Hall took the stage, announced the start of the finals, and simultaneously announced the matchups and the bye list. The matches began under the direction of referees specially selected by the Spirit Hall.

Neither side in the first match was particularly strong, and Shrek couldn't help but whisper among himself in his rest area.

Oscar said, "This final doesn't seem as grand as the qualifiers. There wasn't even an opening ceremony. And the number of spectators is pitifully small. Maybe a few thousand at most."

Tang San said, "Although there are only a few thousand people, don't forget that they are all Soul Masters. And the vast majority of them should belong to the Spirit Hall."

The first two rounds of the competition ended quickly, and the top ten of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament were determined.

The third round of the competition is about to begin. In this round, Shenfeng Academy and the Star Luo Empire, which finished second in the qualifying round, will receive a bye. Shrek Academy will also be playing its first match in the finals.

If nothing unexpected happened in the first two rounds, then the atmosphere in the finals suddenly became tense after the draw results for the third round were announced.

Shrek Academy's good luck seemed to have run out in the first two rounds. Their opponent in the third round was the Star Luo Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy, the one selected by the Star Luo Empire among the three seeded teams.

However, this was not the most eye-catching match. What was even more surprising was another match: the Spirit Hall Advanced Soul Master Academy versus the Heaven Dou Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy.

The clash between the two seeded teams seems to prove the fairness of the finals. Undoubtedly, these two matches are of utmost importance. Half an hour before the start of the matches, the top ten teams have entered the arena to make their final preparations and warm up before the matches.
