Chapter 78 The Finals
Wuhun City is located at the intersection of two great empires. It is the main city of the Wuhun Hall, and neither of the two empires has ownership of it.
The Papal Palace, one of the two most prestigious halls of the Spirit Hall, is located in Spirit City.
This newly built Papal Palace is known as the most magnificent building in the entire Douluo Continent. In addition to its extremely grand and luxurious construction, its symbolic meaning is also unique, and it is regarded as the only holy place by all the soul masters in the world.
Standing atop the Seven Kill Sword, Chen Feng and Sword Douluo looked down upon this magnificent city from the sky. Its size and prosperity were in no way inferior to the imperial cities of the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires.
When they were still some distance from Spirit City, Sword Douluo and Chen Feng landed and headed into the city on foot. The Spirit Hall's stronghold was here, and they didn't know how many experts were watching them, so they had to keep a low profile.
The Spirit Hall attached great importance to this competition. Long before the teams entered the city, they had already set aside a place as the venue for the finals of this Continental Youth Advanced Elite Soul Master Competition.
Meanwhile, Wuhun City also issued a decree that during the competition, non-Soul Masters are not allowed to enter and watch the matches.
This adds an extra layer of mystery to the final competition.
In a luxury hotel near the finals venue, the Heaven Dou Empire specially booked out a large space so that the Soul Masters could get some rest.
In addition, a special soul-guided device was installed on each room door of the hotel to filter out all noise and ensure the quality of rest for each contestant during the competition.
The Qibao team was accommodated in a large suite on the second floor of the hotel, which included six smaller suites, a large living room, a dedicated restaurant, gym, and swimming pool.
Sword Douluo led Chen Feng and avoided everyone along the way. If a Title Douluo intentionally avoids the attention of others, it is impossible for anyone to discover him.
Gently pushing open the door, Chen Feng saw his teammates, who were sitting on the sofa in the hall, engrossed in a meeting, seemingly unaware of the slight noise.
Chen Feng scanned the area, but Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo were nowhere to be seen.
Presumably, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, as a member of the organizing committee, did so to avoid any appearance of impropriety.
Sword Douluo gently reminded him, "Chen Feng, you just returned from the City of Slaughter, and I can sense that your strength has increased significantly. I want to remind you to be careful to conceal your aura; save it for a big surprise for your opponent in the match!"
"I understand, Grandpa Sword!" Chen Feng nodded.
Sword Douluo's body swayed, and as if half of him had vanished in an instant, he disappeared from the spot.
Chen Feng smiled, pushed open the door, and went inside.
Almost everyone's eyes turned towards them at the same time.
"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?"
Chen Feng smiled and looked around, then suddenly paused, his smile vanished, and his expression grew increasingly gloomy.
Of the seven teammates, apart from Oscar and Ning Rongrong, the rest were all injured!
Also, Niu Zhen has disappeared!
"Dust Wind!"
"Master!"
"You're finally back..."
Upon seeing who it was, everyone stood up excitedly.
Chen Feng slowly walked in, frowning, and said, "Can anyone tell me what happened? Why is everyone injured?"
Ning Rongrong took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said, "Brother Feng, it's the Spirit Hall!"
"The Spirit Hall?" A cold glint flashed in Chen Feng's eyes, and a sinister white light instantly spread out, making everyone feel as if they had been swept by the cold wind of a freezing winter, and they shivered.
It wasn't a change in perceived temperature, but rather something that came from the soul. Everyone felt a pressure on their hearts, as if they were facing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Dust suddenly became alert and hurriedly suppressed his murderous aura.
"What exactly is going on? How far has the competition progressed? Rongrong, you tell us."
Ning Rongrong explained, "Brother Chenfeng, the competition has now reached the finals. This morning, we defeated the Shrek Academy team and advanced to the finals. Two days later, we will officially compete against the Spirit Hall's seeded team for the championship."
Chen Feng nodded, pointed to the injuries on the group, and asked, "Then what happened? What does this have to do with the Spirit Hall? Did their people disregard the rules and act in secret?"
"No."
Ning Rongrong shook her head. "Although this is Wuhun City, the Wuhun Hall doesn't dare to be too presumptuous in the open. They create various obstacles for us through underhanded tactics."
As she spoke, Ning Rongrong began to recount the despicable tactics employed by the Spirit Hall.
It turned out that after the fifteen teams arrived in Wuhun City, the organizing committee, led by the Wuhun Hall, temporarily changed the competition rules. The original three-day Soul Master competition was changed to one match per day.
It's important to understand that in major competitions, athletes give their all in every match, which can easily lead to serious injuries.
With such frequent matches, they simply don't get enough rest and recovery.
As the representative of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi resolutely cast his vote against it.
Both empires also expressed their opposition.
However, the Spirit Hall had far too many votes. The four Platinum Bishops plus Pope Bibi Dong had a total of five votes, and Bibi Dong even had a veto power. No matter how many times Ning Fengzhi protested, it was to no avail.
The game can only continue like this.
Just when everyone thought it was just that the competition frequency was a bit higher, the Spirit Hall's underhanded tactics came into play.
Team Qibao seems to have had incredibly bad luck, encountering exceptionally strong teams in every draw round.
Thunder Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, Star Luo Royal Academy, Shrek Academy...
Apart from the seeded teams recommended by the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall, it can be said that the Seven Treasures Team has fought against every powerful team.
If there wasn't some behind-the-scenes manipulation, who would believe it?
Unfortunately, although Ning Fengzhi was also a member of the organizing committee, he did not actually catch the Spirit Hall of Martial Spirit Hall of shady dealings.
Besides, there's only one game left in the finals, so what's the point of dwelling on this now?
"The Qibao team fought their way through the competition, thanks to the strong individual abilities of Dianfeng and Tianlong. In almost every match, they fought against two or even three opponents at once, which helped the team make it to the finals."
Ning Rongrong highlighted the two individuals, who, in fact, were the two with the most outstanding individual strength besides Chen Feng.
Over the past year, every team member has made significant progress.
Yu Tianlong rose from level 42 when he left to level 45 within a year, advancing three levels.
Yang Dianfeng even improved from level 46 to level 48.
Their combined combat power is comparable to that of a Soul King.
