Su Wen had no idea that his information had been handed over to Yu Xiaogang by Bibi Dong.
Actually, it was quite normal. Initially, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as well as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and some other factions, obtained information about Su Wen registered in Spirit Hall through their respective channels.
The only difference was the level of detail they received.
The most shameless thing about Yu Xiaogang was that he directly used his elder status to access Su Wen's information for his own viewing.
Clearly, this was an abuse of private authority.
As for Bibi Dong's choice between Su Wen and Yu Xiaogang, Su Wen never expected Bibi Dong to value him.
A lovesick fool, a lunatic, could never make the most rational choice.
Especially when the other party is not under any pressure.
Bibi Dong should have already obtained the inheritance of the Rakshasa God by now, and she is steadily advancing the assessment of the Rakshasa God. Naturally, her perspective and priorities in making choices are different.
Of course, there are also factors of Su Wen concealing his own situation.
But even knowing this outcome, Su Wen had no intention of exposing everything about himself to Bibi Dong, forcing her to choose one over the other.
Instead, he had been on guard against such a situation.
The age limit of his third and fourth Spirit Rings, as well as the sources of his third and fourth Spirit Rings and the Spirit Skills associated with them, were all made up.
He even started deceiving people from his second Spirit Skill.
Moreover, any intelligence is forward-looking.
The information Su Wen registered would be rendered useless in just a few days.
Spirit Hall is not like an ordinary city with four sides, but a hexagon with six walls, each adorned with a huge relief. Similar to the six major Martial Spirits carved on the Spirit Hall token, these reliefs symbolize six powerful Martial Spirits.
Within Spirit City, apart from the Angel God statue, these six reliefs are the most prominent sights you'll see when you look up.
For the convenience of the Spirit Master Competition, Spirit Hall has specially designated an area in the center of Spirit City, where a massive platform, with a diameter of a hundred meters, is entirely paved with granite.
On this enormous platform, there are numerous spirit tools for reinforcement to prevent damage.
Seeing these spirit tools, Su Wen's eyes gleamed with confirmation of his previous speculation.
With such a variety of spirit tools present, there's no reason for there to be a shortage of attack or defense-type spirit tools.
As the teams from the Heaven Dou Empire arrived in Spirit City, those from the Star Luo City also arrived on the same day.
A total of thirty-two visiting teams rested in Spirit City for three days.
Three days later, the final round officially began.
"Shrek Team is facing Qian Yun Academy Team in the first round?" Su Wen looked at the information of the Qian Yun Team, marveling at Shrek's good luck.
They were up against a team with three Spirit Ancestors.
Apart from the three Spirit Ancestors, Qian Yun Academy had no other trump cards.
Sure enough, under Tang San's Eight Spider Lances and the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, the Spirit Ancestor from Qian Yun Academy was no match for Tang San. The terrifying poison of the Man Faced Demon Spider was fearsome.
On the other side, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's Hell White Tiger held off the other two Spirit Ancestors from the Qian Yun Team.
Three against three.
Then it was a test to see whether the remaining four members of the Shrek Team could withstand the attacks of the four opponents or if Tang San's opponent couldn't endure the terrifying poison of the Man Faced Demon Spider.
"Shrek wins!"
The audience, packed like sardines, erupted into a mixture of boos and cheers.
Clearly, this unexpected outcome left the spectators from the Star Luo Empire dissatisfied while exciting those from the Heaven Dou Empire.
The first round lasted for six days.
During this round, teams like the Emperor Fighting Team, Godwind Team, and Blazing Team fought against teams from the Star Luo Empire and emerged victorious.
Overall, among the fifteen advancing teams, eight were from the Heaven Dou Empire, and seven were from the Star Luo Empire.
There was a sense of evenly matched strength.
This was somewhat different from previous competitions, where the Star Luo Empire often had more teams advancing to the next round.
However, this year, the Heaven Dou Empire had one more team than the Star Luo Empire.
"In the second round, the two teams receiving passes are the Emperor Fighting Team and the Star Luo Imperial Team!"
This is also a very different outcome from previous Spirit Master Competitions.
The passes for the second round are the top-ranked teams from the two major imperial districts.
In previous rounds, neither the Star Luo Imperial Team nor the Emperor Fighting Team would have received passes.
But now, both teams have received passes.
"The quality of Spirit Masters from the Heaven Dou Empire seems to be quite high this year."
Among the spectators present, besides the hundreds of thousands of people, there were also representatives from various major sects.
They were comparing the changes between different factions.
Indeed, this year, the Heaven Dou Empire seemed to have gathered some talented individuals.
"2nd Emperor Fighting Team vs Shrek Academy!"
The drawing results were out.
And this result also aroused the interest of many people.
If you were to talk about the most peculiar and eye-catching teams of this competition, it would naturally be the Shrek Team and the 2nd Emperor Fighting Team.
One relies on an extremely low-level Spirit Master lineup and peculiar school uniforms, while the other relies on a team of wealthy second-generation individuals who were assured of their spots.
Everyone knows the value of the 2nd Emperor Fighting Team.
When they saw the list of participating Spirit Masters from the 2nd Emperor Fighting Team, they also knew that the team's likelihood of receiving assured spots was probably due to Su Wen and Ning Rongrong's relationship.
But even so, it was quite outrageous.
Could two people really lead the entire team?
Now, the two teams that caught everyone's attention were meeting in the second round, making many spectators open their eyes wide, ready to watch this spectacle of novices pecking at each other.
"Hahaha, Su Wen, even the heavens are helping us!" Ma Hongjun laughed heartily, pointing at Su Wen.
"Just wait, I'll beat you all to a pulp!" Su Wen glanced at Ma Hongjun, silently noting down this fat guy.
The match between the two teams was scheduled for the third day.
And the second round only lasted for three days.
It's unclear if this was a deliberate arrangement by the Spirit Hall.
"Brother Wen, although this Shrek Team seems weak, their strength is quite extraordinary. How are we going to deal with them?" A member of the 2nd team expressed concern.
In the previous battles of Shrek, Tang San's Eight Spider Lances' poison was extremely troublesome.
When Tang San used the Eight Spider Lances in Spirit City, his secret couldn't be kept.
There were quite a few people present who could recognize the origin of the Eight Spider Lances. In just a few days, news about Tang San possessing rare External Spirit Bones was spreading everywhere.
"I-I-I know!" Ning Rongrong raised her hand, indicating that she knew the answer.
The members of the 2nd team looked at the witch.
"You guys just need to keep supporting from behind!" Ning Rongrong's eyes curved like crescent moons as she giggled.
"???"
Su Wen patted Ning Rongrong's head and laughed, "Rongrong is right. You guys don't need to feel pressured. As long as you don't attack me from behind, you won't get hurt."
"???" The members of the 2nd Emperor Fighting Team were puzzled twice in a row.
