The Promotion Tournament has no opening ceremony. The matches can start immediately tomorrow, and this event is very special.
First, the battle has changed from team battles to one-on-one duels. Second, the Promotion Tournament will not eliminate any team. Even if you lose all fourteen matches in the Promotion Tournament, you can still go to the finals, but your ranking will be relatively low.
This competition seems to have no great significance, but it will never be absent, because this is the most intuitive evaluation standard that can reflect the strength of a Soul Master, and it is also the best opportunity for major kingdoms and principalities to select talents.
Qin Ming quickly led the Royal Fight Team to the military camp where their tents were assigned, to discuss the competition matters for tomorrow. The first round of opponents has already been decided, and it is Barak Academy.
It seems that his Royal Fight Team really stole the protagonist's position from Shrek. In the preliminary round, they eliminated Elephant Armor Academy one step ahead, and in the Promotion Tournament, they snatched Barak Academy from them.
"The strength of Barak Academy is not too strong. There are only two Soul Ancestors, the captain Luo Fuji and the vice-captain O'er Bai. Their levels are both level 41. I plan to let..."
Qin Ming was about to arrange his troops when Tianlin suddenly stepped forward and said, "Teacher, can you let me take the lead tomorrow?"
"You want to play?" Qin Ming was stunned. He didn't understand what was worth Tianlin's action in a small Barak Academy. Could it be to teach the O' Family, with whom he had a grudge, a lesson? "Xiao Tian, the things of the past are already over. An open mind will allow you to move towards a higher realm."
Qin Ming subconsciously began to advise Tianlin. Hearing this, Tianlin knew that Qin Ming had misunderstood. He had no interest in O'er Bai at all. His real target was Luo Fuji.
"Don't worry, Teacher Qin. I won't take advantage of the competition to seek revenge. That would be too demeaning," Tianlin promised.
"Okay, then today's combat meeting ends here. Everyone, go back and rest," Qin Ming nodded, as long as Tianlin could understand his meaning.
"Hey, Yu Feng, the Promotion Tournament is seven versus seven. Teacher Qin only arranged for one junior brother Xiao Tian. What about the people behind?" Huan Yin asked her boyfriend in confusion.
Yu Feng shrugged helplessly. "Xiao Tian has already taken action. Do you think the rest of us will have a chance to play?"
Just as they had settled down, two guests came to the outside of the camp, Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe.
Tianlin stepped forward and said, "Uncle Ning, Brother Xue, why are you here?"
Today, Xue Qinghe was not wearing the crown prince's attire, but a set of ordinary noble clothes, which felt like an ordinary nobleman, especially standing next to the elegant Ning Fengzhi, like a foil, not attracting attention. His control over his temperament can be said to have reached the realm of doing whatever he wants.
Xue Qinghe had a gentle smile on his face. "Of course, it's for you. This time, I am fortunate to come with my father to watch the Promotion Tournament and come to see you by the way. How is it? Are you adapting here? If you are not comfortable, I will ask someone to change you to another place."
Tianlin quickly shook his head and said, "No need to bother, it's already very good here. Thank you for your concern, Brother Xue."
"Okay, it's good that you like it, Xiao Tian. I can't stay too long. There are still many affairs in the palace that I need to deal with. Here, Brother Xue can only wish you all the best," Xue Qinghe smiled, "However, Big Brother has already fought for it with Father. When the finals come, I will personally send you to Spirit City. At that time, Big Brother will cheer for you with all my strength."
It was a pity that Spear Douluo did not come today because he was afraid of being discovered by the Titled Douluo next to Ning Fengzhi. Otherwise, hearing Xue Qinghe's words, his mouth would twitch.
Although Your Highness is at odds with Pope Your Excellency, you are at least on the same side, right? No matter what, you should cheer for the Spirit Hall Academy in your heart. Now, aren't you even bothering to hide the fact that you're helping outsiders? "Okay, Xiao Tian, Qinghe and I are just here to see you. Don't be careless in the competition. We'll leave first," Ning Fengzhi warned before leaving with Xue Qinghe.
Early the next morning, the Promotion Tournament, which tested the individual strength of these elite Soul Masters, finally began.
The Promotion Tournament is not like the preliminary round, with multiple arenas running at the same time, but only one competition venue, which is the Grand Training Field of the Royal Knights.
A total of fifteen teams participating in the Promotion Tournament will conduct fourteen rounds of round-robin matches, one round per day, and one team will be empty each day, with seven matches being played. All are held in the same venue.
The Grand Training Field has been remodeled, and a 100-meter-diameter area is drawn in the center as the competition field. Compared with the arena in the preliminary round, the space here is wider, and it is naturally easier to display one's strength.
On the north side of the Grand Training Field, a VIP seat was temporarily built facing south, which is also the referee's seat. There were not as many VIPs who came to watch the battle this time as last time.
There are fewer nobles. Looking around, in addition to Emperor Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, Platinum Bishop Salas and others in the first row of the VIP seats, the seats behind are all occupied by people in military uniforms and some high-level officials from the Heaven Dou City Spirit Hall.
There are also representatives of the royal families of various principalities and kingdoms. They are all here to select talents. If there are outstanding ones, they will try their best to win them over.
After all, team battles are more chaotic, and many things are not easy to see clearly, but the Promotion Tournament is different. Each student will show their individual strength in full view, which is also the best time to assess the strength of a Soul Master.
It's just a pity for the auxiliary Soul Masters, who have no use here.
When the time arrived, the Emperor Xue Ye stood from the VIP seats and announced loudly through a Soul Tool, "The Promotion Tournament officially begins today, and will last for the next fourteen days. I hope that the academy teams will fully display their strength and show the demeanor that Soul Masters should have."
As soon as his voice fell, shouts like a landslide and tsunami rang out in unison, "Long live, long live, long live."
The Royal Knights raised their lances high, the clanging of their armor and their loud shouts undoubtedly demonstrated the grandeur of a great nation.
The first match had already begun, and the first to appear was none other than Divine Wind Academy. Their opponents were a team called Fabia Academy.
Surprisingly, the first to represent Divine Wind Academy was actually Huo Wushuang, the official captain of Blazing Fire Academy. Obviously, the people from Blazing Fire Academy, like in the original work, had joined Divine Wind. This was exploiting a loophole in the rules. Although Blazing Fire Academy lost and could not participate in the Promotion Tournament, it didn't say that the people from Blazing Fire Academy couldn't transfer to a qualified academy and continue to participate. This time, they not only wanted to win this first match, but also wanted to score as high as possible.
With the combination of two major powerhouses, Divine Wind instantly became a strong team with all Soul Ancestor-level Soul Masters. Apart from Spirit Hall Academy and the Royal Fight Team, I'm afraid no academy could easily defeat them.
