Chapter 280.
Early morning on the fifth day.
Wang Feng woke up early. Today, he had been reviewing yesterday's battle in his mind. When the last three teams were decided, Wang Feng already knew which three they would be.
Although he anticipated changes from the original story in this year's tournament, he didn't expect such significant changes. Yesterday, the Emperor Fighting team revealed their martial soul fusion skills, and their soul power level was surprisingly high. At the same time, Hu Liena had also absorbed the soul ring of the Starlight Fox and has a soul bone.
Starlight Fox had been with him for several years and was no ordinary soul beast. Hu Liena's strength must be somewhat special. Wang Feng felt uncertain all day, with too many questions in his heart.
Regarding his deduction of the final day's battle, Wang Feng could only vaguely see a rough outline, like looking at flowers through fog. But Tang San and the others would definitely face a huge threat.
Wang Feng was not allowed to play, and the quota for the seven in the finals was fixed and couldn't be changed. Even if he could participate in a personal battle, he –couldn't change his outfit. The competition venue was outside the square of the Pope's Palace, and there would be many Title Douluos present.
In Wang Feng's deduction, entering the finals likely meant his identity would be exposed. But exposure didn't matter, the worst that could happen was disqualification for the championship. Was it possible that the Soul Hall Palace could kill him as an excuse?
The championship was not Wang Feng's goal. In his view, the championship was just an additional reward for being here. Those four soul bones also didn't matter much to him.
When Wang Feng put on the Jiu Yikai costume and walked to the Soul Palace with Dean Fei Lun, he found the weather exceptionally good and sunny.
"The weather is nice today," Dean Fei Lun smiled.
"Jiu Yikai Seriously, I never thought you could get this far."
A third-rate academy in Heaven Dou City was brought to the finals of the Continental Senior Elite Soul Master Academy Tournament by one person!
Although many teams watched the games of Jiu Yikai, they got used to it. But from an outside perspective, it was too scary.
"I don't have much confidence in winning the championship," Dean Fei Lun continued, "But I'm completely satisfied that you got this far! In today's game, you can play by yourself depending on the situation. By the way–, after the game, even if you don't continue to stay in Purple Star Academy, our college will still take you as a symbol and build a statue for you."
Wang Feng didn't answer. After the competition, he wanted to figure out what happened to the three little guys, Yaya (Ice Emperor Lizard cub), Qingqing (little blue bird) and Xingxing (Starlight Fox), go to the next check-in location to sign-in, and then look for the little blue bird while ensuring that the consciousness of Xingqing and Yaya never disappeared.
Therefore–, Wang Feng naturally couldn't stay at Purple Star Academy anymore.
….
At the venue.
The three team included Shrek Academy and Soul Hall Palace. A total of fifteen people from the three teams, plus the accompanying teachers, walked towards the golden and splendid hills where Soul Hall Palace was located.
Each of the three teams have different expressions and thoughts, the Soul Hall team with confident faces headed ahead, followed by Tang San and his party, who were very calm. Finally, Jiu Yikai and occasionally Tang San and a few people would look back, but there was no exchange.
About three hundred meters from the foot of the hill, Templars of the Soul Hall Temple stood holding silver spears, standing crosswise solemnly and majestically, forming a special ritual path.
Soon the three teams came to the square outside the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
When they got closer, Wang Feng could see the gate of the Pope/Supreme Pontiff Palace, only a few steps away. The golden gate was at least twenty meters high and magnificent, engraved with six different special patterns symbolizing the Titled Douluo. The semi-elliptical arched door seemed to contain sacred gathering, its brightness unknown when opened.
At this time, a chime was heard. Twelve cardinals walked to both sides of the gate like the guards of an ancient emperor. As the second to the platinum bishop, they only held the qualifications of garrison here.
'Presentation is really high,' Wang Feng thought, looking at the door calmly.
Just then, one of the front cardinals shouted in a clear voice, "Her majesty the Pope is here!"
The voice seemed to reach the entire Soul City, and the moment it fell, countless sounds came from the foot of the mountain and Soul City. The voice carried waves of fanatical faith and loyalty.
Wang Feng knew the cardinal's voice couldn't reach Soul City by itself, it was the special bell ringing that symbolized the Pope's appearance, attracting such a loud voice, more agitated than the opening scene of the Olympic Games in his previous life.
In this environment, even those not from the Soul Hall would feel a sense of solemn respect. The shout reached a peak when the door opened!
Wang Feng saw the pope. The moment the door opened, as if tens of thousands of spotlights were shot out, a figure walked out with four others.
After a while, the group walked out completely and became clear.
The leader was Pope Bibi Dong. Her robe was specially made with brilliant gold and lavender as the base, adorned with kinds of radiant and luxurious gems. The purple golden crown on her head was even more majestic.
Wang Feng took a look and then withdrew his gaze. Although Pope Bibi Dong was the same age as the master, her beauty was overshadowed by her majesty. She reminded Wang Feng of Wu Zetian from his previous life; her status and strength made people forget her beauty, focusing instead on her majesty and manners.
The three following people wore brilliant golden robes with a huge jewel inlaid on their chests, symbolizing the status of Title Douluo. Only Title Douluo was qualified to wear this uniform. The group included Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Sword Douluo.
Although Sword Douluo was a member of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Sect, he was also an honorary elder of the Soul Hall. Generally, he did not participate in the affairs of the Soul Hall but held a title.
The other two Title Douluos were different from when they attacked, without masks. Chrysanthemum Douluo looked a bit girly, with skin better cared for than girls. Ghost Douluo's face was covered in a mist like a mosaic, making it impossible to see his face.
The last person was Ning Fengzhi. He wasn't a titled Douluo, but his status qualified him to accompany the Pope.
Wang Feng sometimes wondered how the Grandmaster and Bibi Dong, with such different identities, could have fallen in love back then. But considering Bibi Dong's vision, she probably valued a person's abilities over their strength. Although the Grandmaster was not strong, his ingenuity was. After Bibi Dong walked out with her entourage, all the people in the Soul Hall present knelt on one knee to show respect.
But Tang San and the others did not kneel down. Of course, Wang Feng did not kneel down either. In such a place, it is actually a kind of disrespect in theory, but there is no rule that kneeling is mandatory. Just like people from the Star Luo Empire seeing the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire—they are not under the control of the Heaven Dou Empire and naturally do not have any obligation to kneel down.
Seeing this, the cardinal behind was about to get angry, but Bibi Dong waved her hand to stop it. Her eyes first swept across the Shrek Seven Devils members and then quickly fell on Tang San. Tang San was a disciple of the Grandmaster, and Bibi Dong knew exactly who he was. Although it was just a scrutiny, there was a special majesty in her eyes. The seven did not dare to look at her directly, so the purple light in Tang San's eyes revolved, and they barely dared to meet Bibi Dong's gaze.
Wang Feng watched all this quietly. Bibi Dong was almost fifty, with rich experience. Having been in charge of the Soul Hall for so many years, she exuded a kind of power and authority that was undeniable. Even a soul emperor of over sixty levels would not dare to look at her directly.
Her beauty was unparalleled, which naturally attracted others. Bibi Dong was like this.
Moreover, in the original work, if not for the master's guidance, Tang San's early path would have been much more difficult, and the Shrek Seven Devils would not have existed. Bibi Dong looked at Tang San for a while, then nodded slightly. Her calm voice, filled with years of experience and majesty, said, "Yes, compared to your teacher, you are not inferior."
