The vast sky stretched as far as the eye could see. It was as if it had been washed clean by the morning rain, becoming clear and transparent like a sky-blue mirror.
White clouds dotted the sky, rainbows hung high, and birds soared freely.
Today's weather was exceptionally bright and beautiful.
The golden sunlight shone down from the sky, passing through the thin layer of clouds and sprinkling on the surging tide of people in the Heaven Dou Great Soul Dueling Arena, covering the tens of thousands of passionate spectators with a layer of golden splendor.
"It's starting. The Soul Master Tournament has finally begun."
Held once every five years, the fierce battle between all the young soul masters in the continent finally began this morning. The spectators were brimming with enthusiasm and excitement.
A month ago, the Heaven Dou Great Soul Dueling Arena had stopped all soul dueling competitions and underwent a remarkable transformation. It was now the main competition venue of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament.
Although it wasn't as exquisite and luxurious as the Beijing National Stadium, it could still be considered imposing and spacious; it could easily accommodate 100,000 people.
A total of 28 teams participated in the preliminaries. According to the round-robin system, each team would have to fight an average of 27 matches.
There were a total of 27 rounds in the preliminaries.
Every victory was worth one point, and no points were awarded for a loss or a draw. After all the matches, the top five teams with the most points would qualify for the finals.
"Ah! Shui Bing'er, I love you"
A group of beautiful girls walked towards the brilliant sunlight, immediately causing countless fanatical screams and shouts.
This group of girls were all dressed in blue uniforms, and all of them looked to be around 17 or 18 years old. They were lively, cute, and beautiful. The leader was a lovely girl with long blue hair. She was pure, sweet, and gentle. It was Shui Bing'er.
The team that had just entered was one of the Heaven Dou Empire's famous five elemental academies, the Skywater Academy.
When such a female team appeared, it immediately attracted all the attention. Many male spectators' eyes burned, and even their breathing became rough.
"Hehe, elder sister, look, so many people are looking at me. Looks like I've become prettier again." Shui Yue'er leaned close to Shui Bing' er and giggled.
"Shameless"
Shui Bing'er rolled her eyes at her younger sister.
"However, it seems like Big Sister is more charming. More people are looking at you. Big Sister, don't be so stiff. Wave at everyone."
Shui Yue 'er was very different from the cold and tranquil Shui Bing' er. She was very lively and active, just like a lark. She chirped in the group, causing the girls to chuckle.
"By the way, Big Sister, I heard that you met that little prince yesterday. Quick, tell me the truth. Did something bad happen between the two of you? Otherwise, why did you come home so late last night … "
A mischievous smile appeared on Shui Yue'er's pretty face as she stared at Shui Bing without blinking. She asked the latter about yesterday's matter, looking as if
She would be lenient if she confessed and strict if she resisted.
"Yesterday, what … happened?"
The image of Fang Xuan hitting her with his knee appeared in her mind. It was simply unbearable.
"Aiyaya, I'm so angry."
Thinking of this, Shui Bing 'er was driven mad. She raised her jade-like hand and angrily knocked Shui Yue'er's little head, saying, "Don't mention that scoundrel to me in the future …"
"Eh, something is going on."
The eyes of the girls lit up as their gossipy hearts were aroused. They were even more convinced that something terrible must have happened between the two last night.
After the Skywater Team entered the arena, another highly anticipated team arrived at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.
However, in contrast to the gentle blue uniforms of Shui Bing'er and the others, this team's uniforms were all somewhat dazzling red. Even the hair of many members was a fiery red. The entire team appeared to be somewhat irritable and arrogant, like a cluster of crazy burning flames.
"Huo Wushuang, that's Huo Wushuang, the captain of the Blazing Academy team, one of the five elemental academies."
"Look, that red-haired girl behind her, wow! Her figure is so hot; I love it."
"That's Huo Wushuang's younger sister, Huo Wu. I heard that her strength and talent are above Huo Wushuang. I didn't expect her to be so beautiful."
The audience was abuzz with discussion. After the Skywater Academy, the Blazing Academy arrived, attracting countless attention.
"Hmph, save the applause for when we win the preliminaries. What's there to cheer for now?"
With fiery red hair draped over her shoulders, Huo Wu proudly raised her snow-white neck. Her delicate face was full of pride. She frowned slightly at the cheers around her. Her heart was burning with the desire for victory. She only wanted to win the preliminaries of the Soul Master Tournament.
Advance to the finals with the first-place result.
This girl was highly competitive, extremely arrogant, and conceited. Her desire for victory was even greater than that of most boys.
"Haha, thank you for your support. I, Feng Xiaotian, will work hard. Oh, right, if there are any female fans of mine, you can leave your contact information or something. We can communicate more in the future."
Compared to the cold and indifferent reaction of Huo Wu, Feng Xiaotian had a carefree appearance as he led the God Wind Academy's team from the entrance, warmly greeted the audience, and even asked many girls for their contact details in public.
"Captain, can you stop embarrassing yourself?"
Many members of the God Wind Academy blushed and lowered their heads. Their captain only had women in his mind. The Soul Master Tournament was about to begin, but he didn't feel nervous.
Maybe … Feng Xiaotian already had victory in his hands.
Some members of the God Wind Academy guessed.
After all, although Feng Xiaotian's style was a little problematic, his strength was top-notch. He was worthy of being the number one of the Five Elemental Academies.
"That's Feng Xiaotian. His innate soul power is as high as the tenth rank. It's a rare innate full soul power. His cultivation talent is ranked first in the Five Elemental Academies. His strength is unfathomable."
At this time, many audience members noticed Feng Xiaotian and became excited. The God Wind Academy team led by the latter was solid. They were the favorite to win the preliminaries of the Soul Master Tournament.
Soon after, the Thunderclap Academy and the Elephant Armoured Academy arrived in succession.
The Five Elemental Academies were all present.
The entire Great Soul Arena was in an uproar. The audience's screams and shouts were like crazy flames burning wildly.
Apart from the three seeded teams that directly advanced to the finals, the Five Elemental Academies were the most eye-catching in the Heaven Dou Division's preliminaries.
These five academies had extraordinary origins. They had deep backgrounds, powerful teachers, and their members' strength and martial souls were outstanding. They were very likely to advance to the finals.
Without accidents, the Five Elemental Academies would monopolize the five Qualifiers in the Heaven Dou Division.
After the Five Elemental Academies entered the arena, a group of Nameless Team members silently slipped into the arena wearing dung-green uniforms with awkward expressions and stiff bodies.
At this moment, everyone was thinking of doing their best to reduce their presence. They didn't want anyone to discover their existence.
However, this could have been more realistic. Because their dung-green uniforms were too "conspicuous," it was difficult not to attract attention.
"Hahahaha, what team is that? They're from the countryside. They're dressed so shabbily."
"Heavens, how can there be such ugly uniforms? They're the color of dung."
"Pfft … are these guys here to be funny?!"
Once Shrek's team entered the arena, endless disdain and mockery gathered from all directions. Everyone was bombarded with a barrage of insults and insults.
"It seems like they're going to die …"
Tang San and the others' faces were as black as charcoal as they wailed in their hearts.
