—------------------—
According to previous rules, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition is divided into team competitions and individual qualifying competitions.
Needless to say, the team competition is a seven-player vs. seven-player match.
However, team battles are quite chaotic after all, and many things are not easy to see clearly.
But the individual qualifying round is different.
Every student will demonstrate his or her personal strength in full view of the public.
This is also the best time to assess the strength of a soul master.
Especially this competition.
The Butian Pavilion used the gimmick of offering a hundred thousand year soul bone as a reward to persuade the Spirit Hall to change the current competition mechanism.
The scope of the individual competition, which previously only covered students from advanced soul master academies across the continent, has been expanded to the entire soul master world.
The age limit was also relaxed from 25 to 30.
Even so, the number of soul masters participating was completely beyond the expectations of the Spirit Hall and the Butian Pavilion.
Both forces completely underestimated the almost fatal attraction of the hundred thousand year soul bone to soul masters.
The participation of more than a thousand soul masters directly detonated Wuhun City, a city famous for its soul masters.
After urgent negotiations between the Spirit Hall and the Butian Pavilion, they finally had to set up sixty-four temporary arenas outside the Spirit Hall.
"After all, no one expected it to end up like this, but it's good enough to have progressed to this point."
Looking at the sixty-four standard fighting spirit arenas in front of him, even Ye Ling couldn't help but nod secretly.
"This elimination tournament is limited to three days."
Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice rang out near the sixty-four fighting spirit arenas.
"Anyone who can remain in the ring before the final day of the elimination round will be able to participate in the finals!"
Thousands of soul masters who came to participate in the competition gathered in the suburbs. After hearing the rules of the competition, they couldn't help but start discussing it.
The voices of these discussions became louder and louder, and finally even Chrysanthemum Douluo frowned.
"quiet!"
The powerful pressure of the Titled Douluo suddenly spread from Chrysanthemum Douluo.
After all, Titled Douluo is not ordinary. Under this tremendous pressure, all the soul masters shut their mouths instantly.
"This matter was decided after consultation between Wuhun Hall and Bu Tian Pavilion. If you have any opinions, please feel free to raise them."
Are you kidding? The rules of the game were negotiated by the two major forces. What opinions could they have?
To put it bluntly, as long as the rewarded 100,000-year soul bone really exists, then the rules of the competition are not important.
"The competition lasts for three days, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM each day. Killing is prohibited, and those who surrender are not allowed to be pursued."
After a pause, Chrysanthemum Douluo waved his hand when he saw that no one had any objections.
"Then I declare that the individual elimination rounds begin now!"
After that, a soul master wearing the uniform of the Spirit Hall appeared on each fighting arena.
They are equivalent to the referees in every fighting arena.
"This kind of thing still has to be handled by the Spirit Hall. Even our Butian Pavilion can't muster so many powerful Soul Saints."
Realizing that every referee on the fighting spirit arena was at the Soul Sage level, Ye Ling couldn't help but smile at Shui Bing'er beside him.
"Our Butian Pavilion has only been around for a short time. I believe that under the leadership of the Young Pavilion Master, we will also be able to have such a number of mid- and low-level spirit masters in the future."
Shui Bing'er looked at Ye Ling and said very sincerely.
Why is Shui Bing'er so smart and good at talking? What's the meaning of "Short Time"?
Isn't it just saying that Butian Pavilion has no background?
Even the number and quality of Titled Douluo are not inferior to those of the Spirit Hall, but the number of low-level soul masters in the Butian Pavilion is far less than that of the Spirit Hall.
This is also the reason why Ye Ling has not taken any heavy-handed action against the Spirit Hall.
Otherwise, with the group of Titled Douluo in his hands, Ye Ling would be able to wipe out the entire top management of the Spirit Hall.
"Young Pavilion Master, isn't this selection method a bit unfair?"
Dugu Yan on the side couldn't help but ask.
"It's really not fair."
Ye Ling nodded, his expression showing agreement.
"When the Spirit Hall first came to discuss this with us, I noticed that this rule was indeed unfair to the Spirit Master who entered the Spirit Fighting Arena first."
"Especially towards the end of the competition, the spirit masters still occupying the fighting arena will definitely encounter a round-robin battle."
Having said this, Ye Ling paused, and a meaningless smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"But so what? Most things in this world are unfair."
"Even though everyone's innate soul power is different, how can we expect a completely fair competition?"
Listening to what Ye Ling said, everyone in the Butian Pavilion had a thoughtful look on their faces.
Douluo Continent is such a shabby place that even the society tens of thousands of years from now won't be considered fair, let alone now?
"Young Pavilion Master, your opinion is excellent!"
Tai Long, who was Tang San's supporting role in the original novel, has completely become Ye Ling's supporting role.
Especially after taking the innate blood pill refined by Ye Ling to improve his strength, he has completely become Ye Ling's most loyal lackey.
Even though Ye Ling imprisoned Tai Tan in the Power Clan for life because of Tai Tan's crime of seeing Tang San privately, Tai Tan did not feel the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.
All I can say is that when it comes to being a dog, the Li clan still has some inherited traits.
However, even though Chrysanthemum Douluo announced the start, none of the nearly 1,000 soul masters took the lead in stepping onto the soul fighting stage.
These people are the best of the younger generation in the world of soul masters. After thinking about it, they realized that the person who goes up to the soul fighting stage first will suffer more.
"Aotian, this competition was organized by us, the Butian Pavilion, after all."
Ye Ling pointed at Long Aotian beside him and said.
"You go up and take the lead for everyone."
"Yes, Young Master!"
Long Aotian nodded slightly, then jumped and landed steadily on one of the fighting arenas.
The surrounding soul masters immediately burst into discussions.
Those students from the Advanced Soul Master Academy naturally knew Long Aotian.
When they encountered an attack on the way, Long Aotian's heroic feat of fighting three Soul Douluos alone was still vivid in their minds.
Anyone who witnessed this scene knew how powerful he was, so naturally no one dared to step forward to challenge him.
"snort!"
A cold snort was heard, and another person jumped directly onto the ring. It was an acquaintance.
"Uncle Jian, why is Juechen on the stage so early?"
Ning Fengzhi was a little dumbfounded.
These young soul masters can see things clearly, so how could Ning Fengzhi not understand?
Could he not know that the first group of people to enter the fighting arena would suffer the most?
"Didn't I just remind him to go up on the last day?"
"After spending several years together, don't you know this boy's personality?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xin smiled bitterly.
"He's different from us. He never thinks about so many things."
"In his eyes, there's only combat, and only combat can elevate him!"
Ning Fengzhi opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.
After Long Aotian and Ji Juechen stepped onto the stage, nearly a thousand soul masters in the venue finally became agitated.
The individual elimination round of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition has officially begun!
