"Hey, it's not Her Majesty Focalors....."

The crowd erupted in cheers as the contestants entered the arena.

"Skywater Academy!"

"Shui Bing'er!"

"Shui Bing'er!"

"Blazing Fire Academy, Huo Wu!"

Some spectators were already showing their support for their favorite soul masters. It was like a cheerleading squad for each team.

Famous soul masters, such as Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and others, had a lot of fans. Most of them were young people who admired their skills and charisma.

It was amazing that in this world without the internet, there were still so many fans, and their enthusiasm was impressive.

Some male players also had supporters, but they were far fewer than the female ones. The girls dressed up beautifully and flaunted their best features, hoping to catch the eye of the soul master they liked, and maybe have a chance to become a powerful soul master themselves...

The nobles were also choosing their favorite soul masters. They either wanted to marry their daughters to them, or invest in them to gain one or more loyal soul masters in the future.

Although most nobles were not soul masters themselves, they valued resources more than anything. They were happy to attract or sponsor the best of the younger generation, and benefit from their achievements.

Those who could participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition were all geniuses of their respective academies, even if they were the weakest team. They were not weak, they were just slightly behind the other geniuses.

It was like the world of immortal cultivation. In the lower realm, one could have extraordinary talent and amazing potential. One could practice all the way to overcome tribulations and become an immortal. But then, one could end up as one of the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers who surrounded and suppressed Sun Wukong...

Was he weak?

No, he was the founder of a sect in the lower realm, and he had defeated countless geniuses and become an immortal!

But there were always people above people, and heavens above heavens.

Genius was just the threshold for meeting monsters.

The Heaven Dou City Great Spirit Fighting Arena had been renovated, but some of the VIP seats in the north were still reserved for the prominent people of the Heaven Dou Empire.

In addition, there was also a relatively small venue that could accommodate about a thousand people, which had been divided into sections.

This was a place for contestants to prepare and rest.

There were a total of twenty-nine participating teams. The chairs had labels of their colleges on them to prevent everyone from fighting for seats or dueling in private...

Almost all the participating teams had arrived at the Spirit Fighting Arena, and the audience had also taken their seats.

Only the distinguished figures in the VIP seats were still missing.

Of course, it was not that they were late, it was that the opening ceremony had not started yet.

"Hello, do you need some extra food and water?"

While everyone was waiting, a gentle voice sounded in everyone's ears.

This was the staff of the Spirit Fighting Arena. She was carrying some small cakes. Behind her, there was another staff member, who was carrying some drinks and pure water.

This scene made the team leaders a little confused.

The last qualifying round for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition had also been held in the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Fighting Arena.

However, there was no staff to offer them food and water in the last session. They had arrived at the Spirit Fighting Arena early in the morning, and many contestants had not eaten or drunk anything.

"Beautiful lady, please give me a piece of cake and a glass of orange juice. Thank you." A player who looked rather aristocratic said to the staff.

He was a member of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team , a descendant of a noble family. He knew better than to be rude.

Besides, he couldn't afford to offend the Spirit Fighting Arena, nor could his family or his clan.

If someone was kind enough to offer him food, he would gladly accept it.

"Okay."

The staff smiled and quickly brought him a small cake and a glass of orange juice.

"Can I have one too?"

Seeing the first person eating, the others behind him dropped their pretenses. Although soul masters could go without food for several days, it didn't mean they wouldn't get hungry.

The more powerful a soul master was, the more food (energy) he needed to consume.

This was just a minor incident. As time passed, the VIP seats finally filled up.

Emperor Xue Ye sat at the top, but he didn't look happy.

He had no expectations for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition.

The Heaven Dou Empire had never won a championship in all these years.

Even the Star Luo Empire had won once, but the Heaven Dou Empire had never achieved it.

He had given up any hope of becoming the champion. How could he be happy?

This competition was just a show for the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall .

There were three people sitting in the second row, below Emperor Xue Ye.

To his left were Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, the masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect.

Ning Fengzhi was not only the master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, but also the national master of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Chen Xin was a powerful man at the level of a titled Douluo.

To his right was a Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall.

He was the head of the Heaven Dou City Spirit Hall, who had been appointed by the Pope's Palace after Salas stepped down. He was also the new Platinum Bishop.

He looked to be over seventy years old, but his eyes were extremely sharp, like an eagle ready to strike at any moment.

Sitting in the third row were the three education committee members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, as well as Prince Xue Xing, Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe" and others.

As for those in the fourth and fifth rows, their identities were also not simple. Hu Yanzhen, the leader of the Elephant Armor Sect, was sitting there.

After all the people were in place, Xue Ye nodded to the staff of the Spirit Fighting Arena, signaling that it was time to start.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Heaven Dou Spirit Arena!"

"I am Doudou, the gold medal host of the Spirit Arena!"

At that moment, Doudou soared into the sky from nowhere and arrived at the center of the Spirit Arena. She held a loudspeaker device and flew in the air.

Some spectators were slightly startled by Doudou's appearance and felt a bit confused.

They had expected to see Focalors, but they didn't expect to see Doudou.

They were more or less disappointed.

Some spectators who had come from far away didn't have such an idea. Doudou had an outstanding appearance, a sweet voice, a white dove spirit, and a white dress. She was the character in many people's fantasies.

"Hey, it's not Her Majesty Focalors....."

Emperor Xue Ye frowned. He was also a little puzzled. What was the Spirit Fighting Arena doing?

Of course, they must have had their own reasons for the arrangement. As an "outsider", he couldn't say much.

Even though he had no hope for the results of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, Xue Ye still hoped that the opening ceremony would be more grand, so as to demonstrate the national power of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Emperor Xue Ye's voice was not loud, but it could be heard by Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin and others...
