To Spirit City

The competition ended, undoubtedly with another impassioned boost and encouragement for emperor Xue Ye. What was most suprising was that, at the awarding ceremony emperor Xue Ye offered all the Captains and Vice-Captains of the teams to become Viscounts and the other members of the teams to become Barons after they graduate with fiefdoms to be allocated to each of them. Next, the finals would start very soon. That was the true battle to decide which academy was the most powerful on the Continent.

As regent, emperor Xue Ye naturally couldn't leave Heaven Dou City unattended. After the end of his speech, emperor Xue Ye declared that crown prince Xue Qinghe would represent him as Heaven Dou Empire's envoy, to take the task of judging the tournament. And Heaven Dou Empire's fifteen teams would accompany him personally on the way to a city on the common border of the two great empires where the finals would take place. The finals would be arranged by Spirit Hall.

There would only be three days for all the teams to rest. After three days, the altogether fifteen teams plus teachers and an escort of five hundred imperial household knights, a party of more than a thousand people, would leave for where the finals would be held. Spirit City.

From Heaven Dou City to Spirit City was almost twenty days on the road. The finals wouldn't last for very long, as it was a knock-out competition. Altogether thirty three teams could settle the outcome in less than ten days.

Spirit Hall attached extreme importance to the finals this time. While the ranking competition was ongoing, Spirit Hall had already started to set up the site for this Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament finals. At the same time, Spirit City had decreed that non-Spirit Masters couldn't enter to see the competition. Not even nobles. Like this, they increased the mystery of the finals somewhat.

Ordinary people wouldn't feel particularly satisfied with Spirit Hall's decree. After all, to ordinary people, Spirit Hall was a remote and exalted existence. Spirit Hall was the shrine, the holy land in their hearts. If the lord Supreme Pontiff had personally decreed it, who would dare say anything?

A crowd of more than a thousand people set off grandiosely. Even if the academies all had their own arrangements, they still all represented Heaven Dou Empire, compared to the previous qualifiers and ranking competition, the taste of gunpowder was somewhat fainter. Especially the academies with better relationships even travelled together.

Shrek Academy still drew the most attention, but those academies whose strength was lacking didn't want to get close to them. And the four elemental academies also kept a much lower profile, perhaps because of their defeats in the ranking competition.

In order to let the competing team members rest even better, Heaven Dou Empire had arranged altogether fifteen enormous luxurious carriages, specially for the team members to ride in and rest.

These carriages even used some spirit tool technology as foundation, giving them extraordinary shock absorption. Riding them was unusually steady. Of course, the entire Douluo Continent's spirit tool technology circulation was only clear here.

On the way, Tang Feng was about to board the carriage with his team mates when the captain of the Imperial Household guards reported him that he was invited to the royal carriage by the crown prince!

But since Tang Feng finally got to be with his teammates again, he politely refused the crown prince. Tang Feng and Yu Tianheng started discussing about the finals.

"So Xiao Feng, tell me, what do you think are your chances of victory against your brother?" asked Yu Tianheng.

"Well, now you all know that brother has twin martial spirits, excelling both in control and attack systems! I am not at all confident in beating him alone. But captain, you should remember my first match against you in the academy! We can start by picking out our opponents one by one. Even if brother is powerful, I am confident that we can defeat him if he is alone. Afterall captain, if brother has the best tool spirit in the world, you have the best animal spirit in the world as well! If one of us can't defeat brother, all of us together could! I refuse to believe brother alone can face all of us together.

Also, during the training, I improved my stealth abilities. So it is not easy even for brother to evade me!" Tang Feng replied confidently. This confidence came from all the successful military missions he completed. Others might have been intimidated by Shrek, but emperor team was rather excited to face them again!

Emperor team was rather worried about the team handpicked by Spirit hall. It was said by the Crown Prince that the team is called the Golden generation of spirit hall. Tang Feng knew that without defeating the Spirit hall team, they won't be able to demonstrate Heavenly Dou Empire's power to the whole spirit master world!
