After listening to Liu Erlong's words, Xiao Wu and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with excitement.
Especially Zhu Zhuqing, who had long yearned for such a stage to prove herself.
Liu Erlong looked at Yun Feng and the others, waiting until they had fully absorbed the information before she began explaining the rules.
Yun Feng and the group listened attentively.
This pause lasted nearly an hour.
"Do you all understand now?"
Yun Feng and the others nodded in unison. They had already asked questions if they were unsure earlier, so there were no issues now.
"Then who will you send for the preliminary matches?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Feng didn't hesitate and pointed to the newly joined members.
"Huang Yuan, Jiang Zhu, Tang San, and Dai Mubai will go first. As for the remaining three..."
Yun Feng glanced at Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Dugu Yan.
"I won't go. I'll stay and cheer for Yun Feng, little brother, and the rest of you," Dugu Yan volunteered to step back.
Liu Erlong was momentarily stunned.
She asked Yun Feng uncertainly, "Aren't you afraid they might lose?"
Yun Feng was puzzled.
If they could still lose under these circumstances, he had nothing more to say.
The reason Yun Feng chose the four from Lanba Academy to go first was to let them gain some experience.
After all, they had to earn a championship skin, right?
"Auntie, you should have some confidence in us. With just those few opponents, I think Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing alone could handle them, not to mention Rongrong joining in."
Seeing Yun Feng's confidence, Liu Erlong couldn't help but believe him a little more.
"Alright, you'll be in charge of the tactics on the field. The lineup will also be up to you."
"What I can remind you is that in the finals, the opponents you'll face will be much stronger than you imagine."
"And your goal is only one. For that goal, work hard."
Yun Feng smiled faintly.
"This is just child's play."
Although Yun Feng said this, in the following days, he led the team in tactical drills.
Especially the two new members, who spent every day in adjustment.
Building a cohesive Soul Master team isn't easy, but if the team has an exceptionally outstanding control-type Soul Master, everything becomes much simpler.
And Dugu Yan was clearly not a qualified control-type Soul Master.
After her Soul evolved, anyone who got caught in her poisonous mist for even a moment would be meeting their ancestors underground.
Fortunately, Yun Feng was here.
Watching their practice, Yun Feng would occasionally step in to teach them.
He didn't want to join the match too soon.
Otherwise, what if the opponents surrendered as soon as they saw him?
But Yun Feng didn't let his guard down either.
Although the preliminary matches weren't crucial, they at least had to ensure they advanced.
Every bit of practice counted now.
Three days later, in the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City.
The opening ceremony of the Heaven Dou Empire division of the Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition was held grandly in Heaven Dou City.
As the most prestigious Soul Master competition in the Soul Master world, it attracted not only the attention of Soul Masters but also everyone from the royal family and nobility to the common folk.
Every citizen of Heaven Dou City treated this competition as the grandest festival.
The opening ceremony was held in the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena in Heaven Dou City. Tickets for the ceremony had been sold out a month in advance.
It's important to note that the price of these tickets is the same as the admission price to the main arena of the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.
As the main venue for the Heaven Dou division, the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena had ceased all spirit battles a month ago for internal renovations.
All sub-arenas within the Great Spirit Arena were merged with the main arena.
Forming an enormous competition venue.
Apart from the VIP area, which remained on the north side of the entire competition venue, the renovated Great Spirit Arena could now accommodate 80,000 spectators simultaneously.
Although ticket sales generated substantial revenue, the Great Spirit Arena itself had also invested significantly.
In the coming period, all preliminary matches for the Heaven Dou division would be held here.
Early in the morning, Yun Feng and others, still in their dreams, suddenly heard Liu Erlong's shouts.
After checking the time.
Yun Feng also looked at Liu Erlong with a grimace and said:
"Auntie, do we have to start so early!"
"What time is it now!"
Liu Erlong's recent changes had become more pronounced.
In front of Yun Feng and others, she often reverted to her youthful temperament.
Fiery and intense.
The latest novel is first published on 69shuba.com!
Hearing Yun Feng's complaint.
She stepped forward and grabbed Yun Feng's arm.
Smiling, she said:
"Auntie, I'm just too excited to sleep."
Hearing this explanation, Yun Feng also looked at Liu Erlong with a dark expression.
"So because you can't sleep, you have to wake us up too!"
Liu Erlong chuckled.
Seeing this, Yun Feng had no choice but to have breakfast with the girls and then head to the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.
After all, going back to sleep now wouldn't give them much rest.
Miao Miao was taken along by Liu Erlong.
As an ordinary person, she couldn't participate in the Soul Master competition.
Seeing that she could still watch the Soul Master competition.
Miao Miao kept saying thank you.
Liu Erlong didn't treat Miao Miao as a maid.
They chatted and laughed all the way to the preliminary match venue.
The renovated Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena had already welcomed a massive audience.
Coming so early, the spectators naturally weren't just to enter the venue early, as each ticket had a designated seat number.
They wanted to get a close look at the young Soul Masters participating on the first day of the opening ceremony.
Among them were many love-struck young girls.
As the Grandmaster had said, the total number of Soul Masters across the continent didn't exceed six figures.
And the students representing the advanced Soul Master academies were the cream of the crop, with an age limit of twenty-five.
Undoubtedly, they would become the most ideal objects of affection for young girls. Marrying a powerful Soul Master would be a double win in terms of fame and fortune.
Even some nobles who had purchased VIP tickets were gathered outside, as nobles were always eager to recruit Soul Masters.
The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition itself was a cradle of talent, not to mention those who achieved certain results.
Even just participating in the competition made students targets for nobles and families.
However, there was one taboo, and that was Yun Feng.
After all, this was a task set by the higher-ups.
No one dared to provoke him.
Seeing this, Yun Feng enjoyed the peace.
At this moment, with the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena at its center, almost one-third of Heaven Dou City was a scene of deserted streets.
Starting a few days ago, all the high-level hotels in Tiandou City were fully booked. The city's population surged by almost fifty percent.
This clearly shows how much the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition has captivated people.
For this competition, Tiandou City mobilized a full five thousand city defense troops to maintain order.
This was done to minimize the occurrence of any disturbances.
Even the Spirit Hall dispatched many Soul M
asters to the two empires.
They were there to oversee the smooth progress of the competition and to prevent any form of cheating.
"Wow, there are so many people here!"
