Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, A Century of Glory

Chapter 87 Shrek becomes famous, and the nail that sticks out gets hammered down!

In the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, apart from the Star Luo Empire winning the championship once, the other two championships were won by teams sent by the Spirit Hall.

Of course, from this point of view, the Star Luo Empire is still very powerful, and the quality of young soul masters determines the overall strength of the upper-level soul masters.

The rankings for the qualifying rounds will be conducted separately in the two empires, with positions numbered from one to fifteen.

The benefits of this ranking will become apparent in the finals. The finals will be a knockout tournament. In each round, several teams will receive a bye.

In the first round, the three seeded teams will receive a bye. The remaining thirty teams will compete one by one, with the fifteen winning teams advancing to the next round. In the second round, including the three seeded teams, there will be a total of eighteen teams. At this point, the two teams ranked higher in the qualifying rounds will receive a bye. The remaining sixteen teams will compete to determine eight teams that will advance to the third round. In the third round, only ten teams will remain, and the two teams ranked higher in the qualifying rounds will again receive a bye. Teams that have already received a bye will not receive a second bye.

After the third round, six teams will remain, forming the final six of the tournament. There will be no more byes. In the fourth round, these six teams will be drawn to compete against each other to determine the final three.

To ensure fairness, the final rankings of the top three will be determined through a combination of team battles and individual elimination matches.

The final stage of the competition was an individual elimination tournament, similar to a qualifying round, where the three teams competed against each other. Each side fielded seven players. They took turns playing, with the loser eliminated and the winner facing the next opponent.

The winning college will advance directly after all students from the other two colleges are eliminated. The other two colleges will then compete in a team battle to determine the other advancing team, which will then face the team that advanced through the individual elimination rounds in the final team battle.

. . . . .

The opening ceremony of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, Tian Dou Empire Division, was undoubtedly a grand celebration. It not only attracted widespread attention from the Soul Master community but also ignited the enthusiasm of the people of Tian Dou City, who regarded this tournament as their grandest festival.

The opening ceremony was held inside the Heaven Dou Grand Arena. This magnificent building, which serves as the main arena for the Heaven Dou division, has been completely renovated after a month of work. All the sub-arenas and the main arena have been cleverly combined into one enormous competition venue, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of spectators.

The pre-sale of tickets reflects the popularity of the opening ceremony and the enthusiasm of the public. Tickets were sold out a month in advance, and the price was the same as the admission price for the main fighting center, demonstrating the strong appeal of this competition.

For Soul Masters, this competition is not only an opportunity to showcase their strength and skills, but also a platform for learning and exchange. They can hone their skills with outstanding Soul Masters from different regions and improve their own abilities.

For the people of Heaven Dou City, this competition was a rare opportunity for entertainment and celebration. They could enjoy spectacular performances and witness the brilliance of the Soul Masters at the opening ceremony, and cheer for their favorite teams. This atmosphere filled the entire Heaven Dou City with vitality and enthusiasm.

The renovated Heaven Dou Grand Arena, with its grand scale and excellent facilities, successfully attracted the enthusiastic attention of 80,000 spectators. Despite the high ticket prices, the public's enthusiasm and anticipation for the Soul Master Tournament resulted in a complete sell-out. This not only brought considerable economic benefits to the tournament but also demonstrated the profound heritage and widespread influence of Soul Master culture within the Heaven Dou Empire.

At dawn, before the sun had even risen, the Heaven Dou Grand Arena was already bustling with activity, as spectators eagerly awaited to witness the prowess of the young Soul Masters competing in the arena. Many of them, especially the young women in the throes of first love, were filled with longing and admiration for the Soul Masters. These Soul Master trainees were not only exceptionally strong but also young and promising, becoming the ideal partners in the hearts of these young women.

The nobles were equally interested in Soul Masters. They were well aware of the power and value of Soul Masters, and therefore spared no effort in recruiting outstanding ones to strengthen their own power. Outside the VIP area, nobles gathered, hoping to discover and get to know those young Soul Masters with unlimited potential through this competition.

This scene not only showcases the charm and influence of the Soul Master Competition, but also highlights the important status of Soul Masters in the society of the Heaven Dou Empire. For Soul Masters, this is not only an opportunity to demonstrate their strength and skills, but also an excellent chance to network with influential people and expand their connections.

At this very moment, the area centered around the Heaven Dou Grand Arena is packed with people, covering more than a third of Heaven Dou City, creating a scene of utter desolation. Furthermore, starting several days ago, all the hotels of all levels within Heaven Dou City have been fully booked.

The population of Tiandou City has surged by 50% compared to its previous level. This demonstrates just how attractive this continent-wide elite Soul Master Academy Tournament is.

To ensure the smooth running of the competition, Tiandou City mobilized a full 5,000 city defense troops to maintain order. Of course, hosting the competition in Tiandou City also brought huge profits to the city, and the Tiandou Empire's royal family, as the ruling party, also made a fortune.

"There are so many people!" Oscar, from the Martial Arts Academy's group, could tell how exciting the event was just by listening to the sounds outside.

The competition is about to begin, and all the advanced soul master academy teams from the Tiandou City division of the Tiandou Empire must enter the venue to participate in the opening ceremony.

Soon, the opening ceremony began, and the teams at the front entered the venue one by one.

Teams from all over the country made their appearance, dressed in their respective academy uniforms, each one full of spirit, striding into the Heavenly Battle Arena like heroes.

Most of the participating teams were dressed in their finest attire. Although they were wearing their own academy's uniforms, the young Soul Masters, adorned with colorful decorations, patterns, and academy logos, strode confidently into the Great Soul Arena like heroes. They were at the prime of their youth, full of vigor and ambition.

"Look, which academy is that? Have they all been cheated on? Hahaha, all green!"

"In all the years I've watched competitions, I've never seen such an ugly school uniform."

"I saw it! It says 'Shrek Academy' on the back of their uniforms!"

"Look, look, they even have 'GG' stickers on their backs, hahaha."

Shrek Academy? Never heard of it!

"Is this really a representative team from an advanced Soul Master Academy? How can they participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament? It's hilarious. The world is truly full of wonders."

"I see now, this is a clown academy."

"Keep your voices down, I'm afraid if we keep laughing, they'll run away first, hahaha!"

"..."

Yun Yibai had keen ears, and he naturally heard the audience's mocking remarks.

He looked ahead through the passageway, his eyes passing over the many teams in front of him, and finally seeing the academy whose uniform the audience was talking about.

Shrek Academy has become a joke before it even started.

Yun Yibai also chose a timeless design for the Wuji Academy team uniform, reflecting his perspective on this competition from a battlefield standpoint.

On the battlefield, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down!

If you want Shrek Academy and Heaven Dou Academy to merge and fight against each other, message me. I can still revise it before it gets too long.
