Chapter 165: The Opening of the Competition

Promoted three levels in half a year.

This is the effect after coordinating Su Wen's External Strength and Internal Strength, as well as the application of the Body Tempering Technique to the power of the stars.

Ye Luochen was originally had top-tier Martial Spirit, the Morning Star Sword. With the enhancement of these techniques, his cultivation speed in the Spirit Master Realm far exceeded normal logic.

At this rate, within a year, he completely had the hope of breaking through to level twenty, and then obtaining the second Spirit Ring, becoming a Spirit Grand Master.

"Brother Wen?"

Due to the relationship with Sword Douluo, Ye Luochen called Su Wen "Brother Wen."

Su Wen expressed that it was better to discuss each matter separately.

"Alright, Luochen, there's a new member at Wisdom Palace, currently practicing at Supervision Peak. When you have time, you can exchange cultivation experiences with him."

"New member? Great!" Ye Luochen's eyes lit up, looking forward to the new junior brother.

"Also, I'm planning to add a self-created Spirit Skill cultivation subject at Wisdom Palace. If you're interested, you can give it a try."

"Self-created Spirit Skill subject?"

Ye Luochen admired Su Wen's ability inwardly.

He had been practicing under Sword Douluo, and he already had some understanding of many thing that Spirit Masters face.

Self-created Spirit Skills were extremely rare throughout the continent, yet Wisdom Palace dared to guide the cultivation of self-created Spirit Skills as a subject.

"This is the Book of Ten Thousand Techniques. I've integrated some self-created Spirit Skills suitable for you, all of which are basic Spirit Skills. If you can cultivate them and integrate these Spirit Skills into your Martial Spirit according to it, creating your own Spirit Skill, then it will be considered qualified. In the future, you can also choose to study this subject."

Su Wen integrated the Book of Ten Thousand Techniques into Ye Luochen's body.

Feeling the power of the Book of Ten Thousand Techniques in his dantian, Ye Luochen suppressed his inner shock and clasped his fists to Su Wen, saying, "Brother Wen, I won't let you down."

"You don't need to cultivate just for my expectations. Your talent is already high enough. Whether you create your own Spirit Skill or not doesn't matter much. It's just that creating your own Spirit Skill makes it easier to integrate your many sword techniques. The guidance of Sword Douluo won't be inferior to creating your own Spirit Skill. If you're not suitable for the path of creating your own Spirit Skill, I won't force it," Su Wen reminded, waving his hand.

With the matters of the two disciples of Wisdom Palace settled, Su Wen didn't plan to give them any special treatment.

In the future, their cultivation levels would depend on themselves.

Currently, besides the two disciples of Wisdom Palace, there were also members temporarily supported by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect responsible for maintaining the operation of Wisdom Palace.

They are all peripheral members.

Joining has no threshold, and any Spirit Master on the continent has this qualification in the future.

To become an official member of Wisdom Palace, one needs to contribute or become an official student after being cultivated by Wisdom Palace as a disciple.

...

Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

"In this competition, our team does not have any reserved spots. You'll have to fight your way up through each match on your own," Qin Ming explained to the members of the Emperor Fighting Team.

Su Wen stood aside, listening to Qin Ming explain the rules before speaking, "Teacher Qin Ming, does our second team also need to watch the matches?"

"Knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy leads to a hundred victories. Although you don't have the pressure of advancing, understanding the abilities of your opponents is still a necessary process," Qin Ming said.

"Furthermore, during the competition, I will be completely leading the second team. You will practice with the first team for these three months, aiming to improve one level of Soul Power during the competition," Qin Ming added.

When he said this, his expression did not reveal any willingness.

It can be seen that this is a task given by the board of education.

It should be the nobles behind the members of the second team exerting their influence.

There's no way around it. With Su Wen and Ning Rongrong's arrival, two of the seven who were originally loafing suddenly entered the first team, receiving intensive and high-input training, leaving the remaining five dissatisfied.

Clearly, they were all slacking off, so why did those two end up making a final sprint?

The selection for the first team is very strict, and the three major boards of education do not allow any nobles to intervene, but the second team is more flexible.

After all, the oppression of many nobles joining forces is still quite strong.

Especially with one nobleman at the helm, Prince Xue Xing, whose power in the Academy is even greater than that of the three major boards of education.

Of course, Prince Xue Xing only ensures the interests of the nobles and has little connection with the nobles behind the second team.

The two sides are instead in opposition.

But that doesn't prevent them from both being nobles.

...

Continental Advanced Academy Soul Dueling Tournament began right on time.

Heaven Dou City was packed with people.

As the grandest competition in the Spirit Master world, whether royalty, nobles, or even commoners, everyone was eagerly anticipating the competition.

The opening ceremony was held in the Great Spirit Arena in Heaven Dou City.

"Shrek Academy is still so bizarre," Su Wen said speechlessly.

He saw those ugly, shit-green school uniforms with advertisements on the back.

Today is the opening ceremony of the Spirit Master Competition, also the first day of the tournament.

According to the previous arrangement, the first round of the round-robin matches, which is actually a team fight of Spirit Fighters with a performance aspect, would be drawn by the vice team of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, which is the second team.

However, this year's situation is somewhat special; it will be conducted by the main team of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

This also surprised many spectators.

However, more were filled with anticipation.

To witness the strength of the Emperor Fighting Team on the first day, this competition was worth watching.

In the past, the Emperor Fighting Team would only appear when they participated in the finals in Spirit City, so there were very few spectators who could make it to Heaven Dou City.

This year, being able to watch the Emperor Fighting Team's match in Heaven Dou City naturally delighted them.

However, many other Academy leaders frowned, expressing their incomprehension towards this arrangement by the Heaven Dou royalty.

Among them, teams like the Blazing Team, which had interacted with Su Wen and the Emperor Fighting Team before, were particularly puzzled.

With the lineup of the Emperor Fighting Team, they should already be quite formidable by now.

The Spirit Master Competition is divided into three realms: the preliminary rounds held in various districts, the advancement rounds between the two major empires' districts, and finally, the grand finals held in Spirit City.

The preliminary rounds are conducted in a round-robin format, with the team with the highest winning points advancing to the advancement rounds. The advancement rounds that follow are individual round-robin battles, and the final grand finals will be a mixed format.

Being able to preserve one's strength and directly advance to the final grand finals, hiding one's abilities well, should provide a greater chance of achieving a higher ranking.

Why would the Emperor Fighting Team choose to participate in the preliminary and advancement rounds?

Although they don't understand, they still maintain the most basic respect and will closely observe the abilities of each member of the Emperor Fighting Team in the upcoming matches in order to respond better.

As each team enters, Su Wen in the spectator stands sees the team from Blue Sunshine Academy.

"Shi Nian, Brutal Dream Martial Spirit."

Regardless of other factors, Su Wen is particularly interested in Shi Nian's Brutal Dream Martial Spirit.

Moreover, Shi Nian seems to have a Skull Spirit Bone.

So, upon seeing Shi Nian from Blue Sunshine Academy, Su Wen paid particular attention.

And each team also observed their opponents.

"Why isn't Su Wen showing up?" Huo Wu looked at the Emperor Fighting Team without Su Wen's figure, surprised.
