"Ah~ Sister Erlong, you talk so much! You've confused Xiaolan so much!"
Xiaolan leaned on Jiangzhu's shoulder, letting out a wail.
"What's so confusing? As long as we keep winning, that's all that matters!"
Ning Rongrong raised her fist.
She gritted her teeth, her fighting spirit high.
"Rongrong's right! As long as we keep winning, the championship is definitely ours!"
Xiaowu stood up, one foot on a stool, her confidence soaring.
The position of leader of Blue Tyrant Academy was no longer enough for her.
Xiaowu couldn't wait to conquer the other genius Soul Masters and make them call her "Sister."
She stood on the stool for a while.
Xiaowu realized no one was responding.
Suddenly feeling something was wrong, she looked around and saw Ning Rongrong and the others smiling gloatingly. Her
large, round, crimson eyes met Ye Qiu's.
"Xiao, Xiao Qiu~"
Seeing him frowning at her, she stuck out her tongue guiltily and sheepishly took her foot off.
She wiped the stool clean, sat down again, and lowered her eyes.
"Pfft haha~"
Xiao Wu's transformation from arrogant and domineering to obedient and docile made the girls burst into laughter.
Ye Qiu helplessly rubbed his forehead.
He no longer thought about changing anything, after all, Xiao Wu was still young.
Being lively was quite cute.
Ye Qiu chuckled and suggested,
"Let's skip training today and have hot pot for lunch. We can invite Senior Dugu."
"Okay, okay, Xiao Lan wants to eat beef tallow hot pot!"
Xiao Lan clapped her hands happily, her eyes already squinting.
"Xiao Lan, why are you only thinking about food?"
Dugu Yan pinched Xiao Lan's tender face that never seemed to gain weight, full of envy.
...
The next day.
Tian Dou City, the capital of the Tian Dou Empire.
The opening ceremony of the Tian Dou Empire Division of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
A grand opening ceremony was held in Heaven Dou City.
The ceremony took place inside the Heaven Dou Grand Arena.
Tickets for the opening ceremony had already sold out a month in advance.
It's worth noting
that these tickets were priced the same as the admission price to the main arena of the Heaven Dou Grand Arena.
As the main arena for the Heaven Dou division,
the Heaven Dou Grand Arena had suspended all arena matches a month prior for internal renovations.
All the sub-areas within the Grand Arena were merged with the main arena, forming a massive competition venue.
Except for the VIP area remaining on the north side of the arena, the renovated Grand Arena can accommodate 80,000 spectators simultaneously.
While ticket sales generated substantial revenue, the Grand Arena itself also incurred significant costs.
For the next period, all Heaven Dou division preliminary matches will be held here.
Early in the morning, before the sun had even risen in the east,
the renovated Heaven Dou Grand Arena was already welcoming a steady stream of spectators.
Arriving so early
wasn't for early entry, as each ticket assigned a seat.
Their purpose was to see the participating young Soul Masters up close on the first day of the opening ceremony.
Among them
were many young women in the throes of first love. The total
number of Soul Masters across the entire continent didn't exceed six figures.
Those representing advanced Soul Master academies were the cream of the crop,
and with the age limit of twenty-five,
they undoubtedly became the ideal objects of affection for these young women.

Marrying a powerful Soul Master would be a dream come true, bringing both fame and fortune.
Even nobles who had purchased VIP tickets
were gathered outside. Nobles were always eager to recruit Soul Masters.
The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament was a cradle of talent. Not only those who achieved significant results, but even those who merely participated were highly sought after by nobles and families.
At this moment,
centered around the Heaven Dou Grand Arena,
almost a third of Heaven Dou City was packed with people.
Starting several days ago, all the hotels of all levels in Heaven Dou City were fully booked.
The city's population had increased by nearly fifty percent.
This showed just how attractive the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament was.
For this tournament, Heaven Dou City mobilized a full five thousand city defense troops to maintain order,
thus preventing any riots .
"Wow, so many people!"
Xiao Wu exclaimed, looking at the crowded scene below.
Looking around, she had never seen such a massive crowd before.
The anticipation for the Soul Master Competition grew stronger with each passing moment.
Xiao Lan licked her candied hawthorn, looking at Ye Qiu with a puzzled expression: "Brother, how much longer do we have to stand here?"
"We'll come down when we hear our names called,"
Ye Qiu said, ruffling Xiao Lan's hair with a warm smile.
"Xiao Lan, what's the rush when you're eating?"
Liu Erlong rolled her eyes at Xiao Lan.
Ye Qiu, however, gave Liu Erlong a helpless look.
As per her request, their entrance was destined to be astonishing.
She had even timed it perfectly, submitting their team's information at the very last minute.
Now, they
stood atop a building opposite the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena, where they could clearly hear the announcements from
the various academies entering .
Ye Qiu looked down at the three teams arriving together.
From their attire and soul power attributes, Ye Qiu already knew their identities. They were the three closely connected elemental academies
among the so-called Five Great Elemental Academies,
excluding Thunder and Elephant Armor:
Blazing Fire Academy, Heavenly Water Academy, and Divine Wind Academy.
As they walked down the long, carpeted aisle
, the audience on stage and the crowds lining the aisle erupted in thunderous cheers. Waves of cheers
rose and fell, lasting for a long time.
Of course
, the cheers were predominantly male.
Clearly, most of the cheers were for the female students of the Tianshui Academy team.
After all, they were all naturally beautiful. All wore
matching light blue dresses, each one stunning, with great figures and unique charms.
Some were cute, some mature.
Although their cheers were loud, Ye Qiu felt that when the Blue Tyrant Academy team appeared, the cheers would definitely surpass theirs.
Ye Qiu turned and gently kissed Dugu Yan, who was nestled beside him.
Dugu Yan tilted her head back and gave Ye Qiu a coquettish glare.
Ning Rongrong immediately joined in, playfully vying for Ye Qiu's attention; she loved it most.
After being forcefully kissed by Ning Rongrong, Ye Qiu somewhat regretted his impulsive kiss.
Each academy was introduced by a master of ceremonies on the stage as they entered.
Finally, a brief fifteen minutes passed. Ye Qiu
finally heard the names of Blue Tyrant Academy.
"The last team to enter is the Blue Tyrant Academy." (End of Chapter)
