Douluo's self has a soul beast clone

In the entire outer courtyard of the Spirit Hall Academy, the number of students from all grades who signed up to participate in the selection was around 300. However, it wasn't guaranteed that everyone who signed up would pass.

Even if the 7-person team had reserve members, they didn't need that many.

Therefore, the vast majority of these 300 people would inevitably be eliminated.

The criteria for passing the selection were, first, the spirit power level, then the spirit itself, and the application of spirit abilities. Finally, they would have to fight.

Huo Yuqing was fortunate enough to successfully join the reserve team. In terms of support ability, her spirit abilities weren't particularly outstanding and didn't have an advantage compared to others. The reason she was able to join was undoubtedly due to Qian Renxue's influence.

In the end, the number of participating team members was confirmed to be around 30. Seven were official members, and the remaining 23 were reserve members.

Qian Renxue was undoubtedly an official member and was also chosen as the captain. After all, aside from her spirit power level of 71, the legendary Seraph martial soul alone was enough to make her the undisputed captain.

'Once I win the championship this time, the family should take the opportunity to arrange for me to enter the inner courtyard for further study...' Thinking of this, Qian Renxue looked at Huo Yuqing beside her and thought, "Yuqing must have some kind of secret. The changes in these four years are simply incredible! If she has the opportunity to perform well in the Spirit Master Competition, and with my help, it's not impossible for her to enter the inner courtyard together..."

After several years of getting along.

Qian Renxue, who had never truly made friends in either her past or present life, had long regarded Huo Yuqing as a very good friend. Otherwise, she wouldn't have helped her take class notes when she went out to hunt spirit beasts.

So, as she was about to enter the inner courtyard, she really hoped to bring this little sister with her.

...

Heaven Dou City.

As the capital of the Douluo Empire, Heaven Dou City was the undisputed largest city in the empire, as well as the political, cultural, and economic center of the Douluo Empire. It had the title of the Imperial Capital That Never Falls.

The city walls alone were as high as 100 meters, and the thickness of the walls was also a terrifying 100 meters, completely constructed of hard rock. It covered an area of more than 3,000 square kilometers. Both its length and width exceeded a thousand miles. The widest main road could accommodate sixteen carriages traveling in both directions simultaneously. And this was only the outer city.

The core of the entire city was in the center of Heaven Dou City, which was the inner city. The inner city was 3,600 meters long and 2,700 meters wide, with walls 60 meters high. It was a true city within a city!

From the time when the Douluo Empire unified the continent ten thousand years ago, when it was still called the Heaven Dou Empire, it has continued to this day. The name has never been changed.

Of course, after ten thousand years of weathering, no city could maintain itself for so long, so reconstruction and repairs were inevitable during this period. The current Heaven Dou City was no longer the Heaven Dou City of ten thousand years ago.

Not only had the area expanded a lot, but even the architectural style had changed. Over the millennia, it had been renovated many times, and the scale had become larger and larger, and the buildings were extremely magnificent. It could be called the best on the continent!

Heaven Dou City had a permanent population of over 20 million, and with outsiders, it could accommodate up to 80 million people!

But even such a super city had recently become a bit crowded.

The number of tourists had exploded in just half a month. All the hotels were almost fully booked, forcing the Douluo Empire to requisition some civilian residences and open up some official residences as temporary residences for tourists. The number of soldiers maintaining order in the city had also increased significantly.

And the reason for such a big change was only one: the once-in-a-decade event, the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament, was about to be held in Heaven Dou City.

As the only empire on the Douluo Continent.

And the initiator of the competition, the venue for the Spirit Master Tournament has always been Heaven Dou City for many years. It has never changed in ten thousand years.

This was a symbol of imperial hegemony! Even if four kingdoms within the empire had already become independent in substance. But as long as they were still nominally under the jurisdiction of the empire, they would still have to rush to the imperial capital from thousands of miles away to participate in the competition when the Spirit Master Tournament was held.

If the Spirit Master Tournament was no longer exclusively held by the Douluo Empire, but adopted a rotating system... then, I am afraid that the unified empire would not be far from disintegration.

The fact that it can still exclusively host the Spirit Master Tournament proves that the empire is still in its heyday, and the other kingdoms dare not act rashly.

The venue for the competition was on Douluo Square in front of the Heaven Dou Imperial City.

This square was extremely large and could accommodate the most spectators. It was said that this time, the city had mobilized 500,000 soldiers just to maintain order. Among them, 100,000 soldiers were responsible for guarding Douluo Square.

Not far from the east side of Douluo Square, there was a nine-story hotel. This hotel was owned by the imperial family. This time, it was specially vacated to receive the contestants from the advanced spirit master academies of various countries.

As the number one academy on the continent.

The participating members of Spirit Hall Academy were arranged in luxurious rooms on the top floor. Not only did each person have a bedroom, but there was also a special conference room for them to use.

At this time, all thirty members, plus the teacher leading the team, Li An, were sitting in the conference room, holding a pre-match mobilization meeting.

There was a large table in the conference room, surrounded by chairs. Li Chang'an, as the teacher, sat at the head, and the other students sat around in a circle.

He scanned the students around him and then said, "Next, to avoid some students not being clear, I will first tell you about the rules of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament."

Qian Renxue, Huo Yuqing and other students looked serious, putting on a well-behaved listening posture.

Li Chang'an said: "The Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament is the ultimate battle of the academies of various countries. Based on the principles of fairness and justice. What is being competed is the comprehensive strength of each academy. Therefore, the competition method is also the most abundant and flexible."

"I went to find out today that there are a total of one hundred and thirty-three advanced spirit master academies and advanced spirit master instructor academies participating in this competition. They all live in this hotel."

"The first round of the preliminary round is an elimination round. That is to say, the losing side will be directly eliminated. The competition method adopted in the first round is a team battle. Seven versus seven. The draw will be held tomorrow. It is estimated that the first round of the competition will take three days to complete."

"After the first round, the groups will be divided, with about eight or nine teams in each group. A round-robin tournament will be held. During the round-robin tournament, a random competition system will be adopted.

There are three types of random competition systems: one is a single elimination system, the second is a three-two-two cooperative combat mode. The third is a seven-on-seven team battle. This will test comprehensive strength.

Each game must be drawn and then played. Whichever mode is drawn will be played in that way. It is the best test of comprehensive strength..."

He explained the rules of the competition to them in detail, and the students listened very carefully.
