Douluo: Awakening the Donghuang Bell Martial Soul at the Beginning

Chapter 25 Shrek Academy vs Xingluo Royal Academy
This competition is divided into three parts: qualifying, promotion and finals.

The rules of the competition are that the students sent by a participating college must be 25 years old or below, and the number of participants in each game must reach seven.

2. During the competition, the opponent should be avoided from being injured as much as possible, and no death is allowed. Once an opponent is killed, the academy will not only bear the corresponding losses, but will also be expelled from the Soul Master Competition.

3. During the competition, you may not use any medicine or food made by spirit masters other than food and healing spirits, and you may not use any weapons other than martial spirits.

In the two empires, the total number of advanced soul master academies is close to a hundred.

All advanced soul master academies in Tiandou and Xingluo have one quota each, but the two royal academies belonging to Tiandou and Xingluo Empire respectively will have an additional quota.

Of the two places belonging to the Royal Academy, the home team is guaranteed to advance to the finals, while the vice-team and other participating teams will participate in the preliminaries and promotion matches at the same time.

There is also a quota for the Spirit Hall, an institution that specializes in training spirit masters, and this quota is also for the recommended team.

Starting from the preliminaries, there will be 33 places for the finals. In the preliminaries, Tiandou and Xingluo will compete for 15 places each, and the other 3 places belong to the three teams that are guaranteed to be admitted. The promotion game only ranks the teams but does not eliminate them.

There are 6 qualifying divisions (a total of ). There are four kingdoms and one principality in the Tiandou Empire. The advanced soul master academies directly managed by each kingdom and principality compete in the division within the country, while other academies compete in the Tiandou City division.

The situation in Star Luo Empire and Tian Dou is almost the same.

Since the Tiandou City Division has many high-level soul master academies and is directly under the Empire, there will be 5 places for the qualifying rounds in the Tiandou City Division.

The other kingdoms and principalities in the Tiandou Empire each have only 2 qualifying places in the qualifying division.

In the end, the qualifying quotas for each of the two empires totaled 5+5*2=15 teams.

In the three Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competitions before this elite competition, the Xing Luo Empire won the championship once and the Spirit Hall won the championship twice.

The qualifiers are team competitions in a single round-robin format. The team with the highest winning points in each qualifier division will enter the promotion round, and the others will be eliminated. In the end, there will be a total of 30 teams qualifying for the qualifiers, 15 each from Tiandou and Xingluo.

The promotion match is an individual match. Although the participating teams still send out seven students, they compete one by one. The winner will continue to stay on the field, and the loser will continue to send students until all the students on one side fail. This match is only beneficial for the Empire to select talents. The promotion match will rank the 15 participating teams to facilitate the byes in the finals, and there will be no elimination.

The finals adopt an elimination system. In the first round: three teams have a bye, and the other teams compete for the remaining 15 qualifying places.

In the second round, the top two teams in the qualifying round will have a bye, and the other 16 teams will compete for 8 qualifying spots.

Round 8: The top two teams that have not received a bye can have a bye, and the other eight teams will compete for four spots.

Round 6: Top compete to determine the top three.

The fifth round of the finals will adopt an individual promotion system, with the top three deciding the first place and the two losing colleges deciding the second place.

Final round: The first and second place players will face off in a team battle.

Because Tang San and his team's strength had declined, the qualifying matches were more difficult for them.

However, Tang San had the aura of the protagonist, and they finally passed the competition safely.

The preliminaries and promotion matches took a total of two months in Tiandou City.

Next, the Tiandou Empire will escort the five teams participating in the finals and the recommended teams to Wuhun City to participate in the final finals.

Tiandou City is a bit far from Wuhun City and it will take about twenty days.

……

Twenty days later.

The six teams escorted by the Tiandou Empire successfully arrived at Wuhun City.

Because they had been traveling for days, the Spirit Hall asked them to rest for three days before the competition.

Three days later, the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition began.

The three seeded teams in the first round will receive byes.

In the second round, the top two teams in the promotion round will have a bye, and the other sixteen teams will compete for eight qualifying spots.

The opponent that Shrek Academy drew in the first round was Blazing Academy.

But to everyone's surprise, Blazing Academy actually voluntarily abstained.

Shrek Academy advanced directly. The second round opponent of Shrek Academy was the Xingluo Royal Academy team.

Originally, Shrek Academy could have a bye in the second round.

However, in the promotion match of Tiandou City, Ma Hongjun fell behind significantly, which prevented them from entering the top two.

The Xingluo Royal Academy team is similar to the Royal Academy of the Tiandou Empire, both are royal academies.

Tang San and his friends’ opponents this time are Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing’s older brother and sister.

Dai Mubai is a member of the imperial family. His family has a very close relationship with Zhu Zhuqing and they have the custom of intermarriage.

In the family, only the most outstanding people can become the future heirs.

Neither Dai Mubai nor Zhu Zhuqing are the legitimate sons of the family.

Dai Mubai's brother and Zhu Zhuqing's sister were engaged since childhood, and the same is true for Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

The four of them are the most outstanding children in their respective families.

The reason why Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing came to the Tiandou Empire was to improve their strength.

This Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition is an opportunity given to them by the family.

Because they are not legitimate sons, their chances of inheritance are much smaller.

But if they can defeat their brothers and sisters, then they will be qualified to inherit.

In addition, both of their families have extremely special rules.

In order to make the future family heirs more outstanding, once the competing children are selected, some will train them as enemies.

The winner can certainly inherit the family, but the loser will be extremely miserable.

In order to avoid internal strife in the family, the loser of the competition will be directly eliminated.

"What's wrong, boss?"

Ma Hongjun asked when he saw that Dai Mubai looked a little strange.

Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing nearby, told them about their family's affairs after hearing this.

"What, if you lose you will be wiped out?"

"Yes, the struggle for imperial power is so cruel."

……

In the competition arena.

At this time, Su Chen was standing in the audience with Sun Chuantao and Li Kai, watching Tang San's game.

"Su Chen, we will also have a game soon. It would be inappropriate for us to watch the game here, right?"

Sun Chuantao whispered.

Su Chen smiled.

"What are you afraid of? In the end, the ones who will confront us will definitely not be those people from the royal family."

"But……"

"No buts, let's watch the game."

"OK then."

It was at this time that Shrek Academy and Xingluo Royal Academy stepped onto the competition stage at the same time.
