Douluo: Change job from Seven Treasures Glazed to Crescent Moon

Chapter 322 The finals begin

The finals of the Continental Soul Master Advanced Competition is about to begin.

This time, it is not that simple. Tianshui College was able to dominate the competition in the preliminaries and qualifying rounds.

But when it came to the finals... the same thing applies, because of the appearance of Tiandou Royal Academy, Wuhun Hall Academy and... the resurrected Shrek Academy in the Xingluo Empire, Ning Feiliu had to go out and ensure victory in the competition.

Because the system of the finals is different this time, there are only five rounds in the finals.

It will take shorter time than the qualifying and promotion rounds.

But because the competition is intense, there will be a day of rest and adjustment between each round.

Before the final fifth round, there were three days of adjustments.

In the first round, the three seeded teams will have a bye, and the remaining thirty teams will compete for fifteen promotion places. The losers will be eliminated directly.

At this time, Ning Feiliu didn't need to worry about anything. Tianshui College could still perform as expected, and almost no college could defeat them.

After all, because of his butterfly effect, the "peak group" of four elements academy no longer exists.

In the original work, the Divine Wind Academy joined forces with the three major academies of Thunder, Sky Water and Blazing Fire to form a super team of all soul sects, with the intention of defeating all academies except the Spirit Hall and competing for...

Runner-up glory!

They really think that being the runner-up is also an honor.

However, due to Ning Feiliu's influence, it would be impossible for Tianshui College to join in.

Secondly, due to the influence of Ning Feiliu, there are now three super teams, Wuhun Hall, Tiandou Royal Academy, and Tianshui Academy.

These three teams are more outrageous than the other. There are three Soul Kings from the Spirit Hall, two Soul Emperors from the Tiandou Royal Academy, three Soul Kings from the Tianshui Academy and the Soul Saint Ning Feiliu!

Now they can't even dream of being the runner-up. After all, even if the Kamikaze Academy, the Thunderbolt Academy, and the Blazing Fire Academy could form a team composed entirely of Soul Sect members, could they defeat these three super teams?

It's impossible to beat them.

Therefore, the thirty teams in the first round are still rubbish for Tianshui College.

Even though we haven't played against the Xingluo Empire's academy team yet, can the opponent be stronger than the Tiandou Empire's division?
Everyone knows that the qualifications of the soul masters of the Xingluo Empire have never been very good.

The families and forces of soul masters with top-level spirits are either in the Tiandou Empire or have defected to the Spirit Hall.

The only thing that is good about the Xing Luo Empire is its military strength.

So there is no need to worry about Tianshui College in the first round.

But for other colleges, the brutal elimination rounds will surely make each soul master team fight even harder.

And then, according to the rules of the competition, the first-place colleges in the second round of the qualifying matches of the two empires will receive a bye.

This is the purpose of the promotion match, which means that Tianshui College will have a bye in the second round, so there is nothing to worry about.

At that time, sixteen teams will compete to select eight teams to enter the third round, plus these two teams with byes, there will be a total of ten teams.

The runner-up in the promotion round will have a bye in the third round, and the remaining eight teams will decide four spots and advance to the fourth round with them.

There will be no byes in the fourth round, so only the top two teams in the qualifying round will benefit from the finals, and the earlier a team gets a bye, the more advantageous it will be because it can avoid being eliminated too early.

By the fifth and final round, there will be only three teams entering the competition. The three teams will first compete in a promotion match with seven players each to be eliminated in a round-robin manner to determine the team with the strongest individual strength.

Then the loser's two teams compete in a team battle, and the winner challenges the previous individual winner to determine the final championship.

The situation is a bit complicated, but in summary, Ning Feiliu will start paying attention to the draw when the third round begins.

If he were to be drawn against any team from Spirit Hall, Tiandou Royal Academy, or Xingluo Royal Academy, Ning Feiliu would personally go down and beat up the other team.

After a short rest, the next day...the finals of the Continental Soul Master Advanced Competition officially began!
……

The next day, all thirty-three teams arrived at the competition venue early.

For the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, Wuhun City specially opened up a special venue.

This venue is located in the center of Wuhun City. The huge arena is a hundred meters in diameter and is built entirely of granite.

This huge competition stage is also reinforced with a large number of soul guides to prevent damage.

According to the information given by Wuhun Palace, this site is strong enough to withstand any attacks from soul masters below the Soul Emperor without being damaged.

However... they still gave advice that some soul masters should try to restrain their strength and not cause unnecessary and large-scale damage.

These certain soul masters, of course, refer to the only soul master who has surpassed the Soul Emperor realm in this competition.

As for why the competition venue was not built with materials that could withstand any attack from soul masters below the level of Soul Saint, it was because...

In Douluo Continent, the best materials that can withstand any attack from soul masters below the Soul Emperor level without breaking are already the best materials that can be found.

Other materials are too rare to be used to cast such a large area.

However, this material, which can withstand any attack from soul masters below the level of Soul Emperor without being damaged, is already quite expensive.

Only a wealthy organization like Wuhun Palace would do this. At least the two empires were reluctant to spend such huge resources.

Perhaps only the current Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can be as wealthy and powerful as the Spirit Hall.

Directly in front of this competition stage is the Papal Palace.

From here it is less than a kilometer away from the hill where the Papal Palace is located.

Wuhun Palace has announced in the notice posted that the final three finalists will compete in front of the Pope Palace.

At that time, the Pope will appear in person and crown the final champion.

For any soul master, this is an unparalleled honor.

Early in the morning, all participating colleges arrived at the competition venue under the leadership of dedicated personnel from Wuhun Palace.

Each academy has a separate rest area built around the competition venue. On the side opposite the Pope's Palace is the VIP judging seat.

The people who came on behalf of the two empires were all there to watch the battle, and of course, there were also people from the Spirit Hall.

Soon, the draw for the competition began, and it was obvious that there was no inside information in this draw.

The Spirit Hall doesn't like to play such shady things. The Tianshui Academy drew the academy team from the Xingluo Empire, which was not even as strong as the Chihuo Academy. They were defeated cleanly by the team led by Shui Bing'er.

But this game still attracted a lot of attention.

The three teams that had a bye all came out to watch.

The golden generation of Wuhun Hall, Tang San, Dai Mubai and others all studied the battle of Tianshui Academy seriously. But they were destined to find nothing, because it was difficult for Tianshui Academy to use anything against such an opponent.

And Ning Feiliu hasn't even come on stage yet.

In fact, Ning Feiliu even felt that they were only here to compete for the runner-up. With him around, what were they still fantasizing about?
In the second round, due to the competition system, Tianshui College was given a bye.

This time it's their turn to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers.

Ning Feiliu chose to watch the first battle of this competition by Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling from Tiandou Royal Academy.

All the members of Tiandou Royal Academy are Soul Sect members. Among them is Yu Tianheng, a genius who possesses the strongest attacking beast martial soul in the continent. In addition, there are two Soul Emperors, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, so it is impossible for them to lose.

But Dugu Yan, who had learned the true skills from Ning Feiliu, was not in a hurry to end the game directly. Instead, she started to fight to support the game, allowing Yu Tianheng and others to warm up. She became the second auxiliary in the team.

In this battle, the opponent is also not weak, it is Xiangjia Academy.

It’s true that the Elephant Armor Academy is composed entirely of earth-attributed strong attack/defense soul masters, which is exactly the nemesis of Yu Tianheng’s Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Spirit Hall.

The earth attribute is not conductive, and the defense is at its maximum. Even the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus, the continent's strongest offensive beast spirit, finds it difficult to break through the defense line in the first place.

Instead, Yu Tianheng and his companions were stuck in a tough fight, because it was almost like they were... six against seven!

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

As the captain, Dugu Yan's purpose in this game was to not take action until Yu Tianheng and his team were actually defeated.

It’s just to let Yu Tianheng and the others warm up.

Yu Tianheng encountered the most difficult Xiangjia Academy, and was framed and targeted, causing him great suffering.

But in this match... the one who took the lead in showing his strength was... Ye Lingling!

Because Ye Lingling began to display the extraordinary power of her Nine-Hearted Begonia martial spirit, no matter how badly Yu Tianheng and the others were injured when they were besieged, Ye Lingling could help them recover to full health in an instant!
This is because... Ye Lingling has the incomplete resurrection rune given by Ning Feiliu in her body. Although it is incomplete, the healing enhancement it provides is extremely terrifying.

Therefore, Ye Lingling, who has already reached the Soul Emperor realm, has even more terrifying Nine-Hearted Begonia's healing and recovery abilities.

In the end, Dugu Yan still did not make a move, but Tiandou Royal Academy won.

Because of Ye Lingling's incredible recovery effect, in the words of the game, it is to increase blood volume in various ways that makes people despair.

A total of four times!

Yu Tianheng and the others were seriously injured. When the game was about to end, Ye Lingling directly used a healing light to make them all full of energy.

On the contrary, Xiangjia Academy was exhausted and ultimately suffered a tragic defeat.

The situation of this game immediately made other academies realize that the most important person for Tiandou Royal Academy... was not the captain Dugu Yan, but the healing soul master Ye Lingling who served as the deputy captain!
As long as Ye Lingling is not eliminated, she can quickly restore the status of her teammates. Who can stand this?!
So people like Hu Liena, Xie Yue and Yan, after watching this game, all decided… If they were drawn to Tiandou Royal Academy later, they must deal with Ye Lingling first!
Then, the Spirit Hall team also made their collective appearance.

Although the so-called golden generation of Hu Liena, Xie Yue and Yan now seems to be insignificant in front of the "Heavenly Generation" composed of Ning Feiliu, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

However, the Soul King cultivation of the three of them is still far ahead, especially since their cultivation, with the help of the Xuanshui Pill and the early absorption of soul bones, has generally increased their soul power by two to three levels compared to the original plot.

So they defeated their opponents easily, but they had a sneaky trick up their sleeve.

Because they seemed to see Ning Feiliu bringing Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing and everyone from Tianshui College to watch the game.

He released the martial soul fusion skill, Charm, and then ended the game directly without letting anyone know about the battle situation.

Ning Feiliu thought this was meaningless and boring. They were all here to compete for the runner-up spot anyway...

What? Do you really want to beat him?

Soon, the second round of competitions was over.

Except for Xiangjia Academy, almost all other seeded teams are still in the competition, which is also because a good draw situation has not yet appeared.

But in the third round...

Not so lucky.

Because in the third round, the second-place teams from the two empires' promotion matches will be given a bye, so there will only be eight teams.

Among the eight teams are the Spirit Hall team, Tianshui Academy, Blazing Academy, Thunder Academy, Shrek Academy, and Xingluo Royal Academy...

There are still six seed academies left, so a strong confrontation is inevitable.

If Ning Feiliu remembered correctly, if they replaced the first place in the original Shrek Academy's Tiandou Empire Division qualifying tournament, then they should have been drawn to Xingluo Royal Academy, right?
However... it didn't.

In the third round, Tianshui College drew... the unlucky Thunder College!
Everyone at Thunder Academy was stunned on the spot. What’s the difference between this and drawing the number one favorite to win the championship in the quarterfinals?
The remaining two strong duels are... Blazing Academy versus Shrek Academy.

There was nothing much to say about the third round. Ning Feiliu went to watch the match between Blazing Academy and Shrek Academy first.

He also brought Zhu Zhuqing to see it, so that Zhu Zhuqing could appear in Dai Mubai's sight openly and face Dai Mubai and her third sister Zhu Zhufeng directly.

Zhu Zhufeng seemed to be in a complicated mood, but Dai Mubai's eyes were filled with anger.

He now thought that the bitch Zhu Zhuqing was having an affair with Ning Feiliu.

But he had no choice but to vent his anger on the game.

Tang San's 40,000-year spirit ring still amazed everyone when it appeared, but the spirit skill had changed. It seemed to have directly become the awakened spirit skill, the Blue Silver Overlord Spear. Therefore, although it lacked group control, its lethality was improved.

And then that's it.

No matter how powerful Tang San is, Ning Feiliu is now much more powerful than him.

Then Ning Feiliu looked at Xiao Wu curiously again. Xiao Wu... was really brave. She even dared to appear here.

You have to know that she doesn't have the Acacia Heartbreak Red to hide her identity as a hundred thousand year old soul beast, yet she still dares to show up here. Isn't this... courting death?

But what surprised him was that no one seemed to notice Xiao Wu, as if her aura was still obscured.

Actually...

This part of the original plot also has loopholes, because in the original plot, it is said that Xiao Wu used the Acacia Heartbreak Red to conceal her own aura and was not discovered by the Titled Douluo.

But... when Xiao Wu met Dugu Bo at Tiandou Royal Academy, she didn't have the Lovesickness Red at that time!

But Dugu Bo, the Titled Douluo, did not detect her hundred thousand year soul beast aura.

This can only be said... Perhaps as long as Xiao Wu does not attract the direct attention of the Titled Douluo, her aura will not be so easy to be discovered.

Or maybe this is just a simple plot hole.

　I went back to read the original text of these plots, and found out that wow... the original text described "Haotian Sect supports Xingluo Empire" at the beginning, but then San Shao wrote "not all the three sects support Tiandou Empire". San Shao is so inconsistent and has a split personality. I suspect he didn't use his brain when he wrote it...

　　This is the situation. I wrote many contradictory settings according to the needs of the plot. That's it.
