Chapter 121
(TL by Bagelson) Part 1 (TL by Bagelson)
After a momentary pause, Ning Fengzhi continued:
“The depth of the Great Pope is even more unexpected. Known as the most formidable leader in the history of the Spirit Hall. In your current condition, you are simply not fit to oppose them from the front. Produce is not negligent, you are still young, even if you want to face the Spirit Hall, there is still time later. Is there a need to be so stubborn right now? "
Tang San's eyebrows tighten. After thinking for a moment, he still shook his head,
“No, I have to participate in this competition. Uncle Ning, I understand your intentions, but I think this is also an important pressure in my life. If I can break through my path, then when the Spirit Hall wants to deal with me again in the future, it will also be very difficult. It was impossible for them to always hide the truth. ”
Seeing the radiance in Tang San's eyes, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but remember her father's appearance in her youth. Their expressions are very similar. Although Ning Fengzhi and Tang Hao were not so familiar back then and they were not far apart, the feeling Tang Hao gave off was always like staring at a high mountain. Among the people of his generation, no one could compare to Tang Hao. Right now Tang Hao's son seemed to have imitated this miracle, to the point that he was even more outstanding than his father. 'Clear Sky School, don't tell me your genes are really good?'
“Good, since you have already decided, there is no need for me to say more. Your uncle will guarantee your safety as far as possible. ”
Ning Fengzhi's words were very flat, but as the master of a school, this was already equivalent to giving him the promise of San San.
Tang San sensed that Ning Fengzhi's current words were not due to pragmatism, nor an attempt to bind him. It was entirely the attention of an elder to a junior.
"Uncle Ning, I might not be able to enter the Glazed Treasure Seven Tile School, but as long as I am alive, the Glazed Treasure Seven Tile School will forever be my friend. ”
……
Spirit City.
An plain-clothed Grandmaster entered the city after passing the Spirit Master examination. At his age, thirty something ranked power would naturally not arouse any attention.
Without a slight rest, without even taking a single breath, the Grandmaster directly came to the highest body of Spirit City. The Supreme Pontiff's Palace.
In front of the Grand Pope's Palace.
"Stop. ”
The two silver-armored palace guard knights blocked the path of the Grandmaster, all of them a hundred palace guard knights raised long swords in their hands,
“This is a restricted area. Approach one more step, and you will be killed without question. ”
Facing over a hundred palace guard knights with clear strength on it, the Grandmaster's expression still remained apathetic as ever. Raising his hand, he suddenly revealed the tile of his warrant.
The palace guard who was leading quickly stepped forward, when he saw the six emblems on the warrant tiles, he could not prevent shivering.putong sound, he knelt on one knee, With the sound of putong , he could not prevent , he's on his knees, he's on his knees,
“My respect, Elder. ”
One hundred palace guards uniformly performed the same move. In contrast to them, the originally ordinary Grandmaster seemed much more unusual.
"Bring me to the Great Pope. ”
The grandmaster used the simplest words possible to tell them about his goal.
After an hour, in the official business hall of the Grand Pope's Palace, the Grandmaster quietly sipped a high-quality fragrant tea, quietly waiting.
Currently he was the only person in the official hall over a thousand square meters.
Grandmaster's gaze all along focused on the fragrant tea in his hand, without even seeing a glimpse of the golden and jade gold surrounding him, he just waited quietly.
The three-meter-high arched door opened, and a soft sound echoed from outside,
"You wait outside. Without my order, no one is allowed in. ”
"Yes nih . ”
The Grandmaster's gaze finally shifted from the tea, spinning towards the grand door of the official hall.
The door opened, and a woman entered from outside.
Not tall, wearing a luxurious robe plated in black gold, wearing a nine-pointed purple gold crown, a scepter of over two meters, encrusted with countless precious stones. Its white skin and close to perfect skin makes it stand out from the masses.
He especially revealed an intangible noble sanctity, making people more inclined to kneel and pay respect.
The grandmaster sat down, and after entering the room, the woman also stopped. The gazes of the two people collided in the air like that. No sparks. The Grandmaster's gaze held many things. There are apologies, memories, and even more disappointments.
The woman's gaze immediately underwent a complex change. Although he only looked around thirty years old, in fact, he was even one year older than the Grandmaster, his age was already over 50 years . The stick in his hand hit the floor, letting out a ding that echoed .
"You are coming . ”
The soft and pleasant sound very easily gives people the feeling of bathing in the spring breeze.
But the Grandmaster's gaze instead became astringent, pushing on the table in front of him with both hands to stand up, turning to the woman,
“Yes, I'm coming. Are you okay?"
The woman's face showed a slight smile, though,
“With ten thousand subordinates, how can I get sick? As the ruler of the Spirit Hall, even the kings of the two great empires must show me some degree of decency. Where do you think I'm gonna get sick? ”
The grandmaster sighed,
[1] I know the pain in your heart . “Aunt Dong [1] , I know the pain in your heart. ”
“Aunt Dong? If you don't say it, I almost forgot this name. Please call me, Grand Pope, or Your Majesty. It's been a long time since I was that stupid Auntie Dong. ”
Yes, this seemingly gentle and beautiful woman before him was the current supreme ruler of the Spirit Hall, a pilgrimage target for all Spirit Masters, the Supreme Pontiff.
He was the youngest Great Pope in the history of the Spirit Hall, sitting before forty.
There were originally many doubts, but as time went on, under his reign, the development of the Spirit Hall was even faster and harder, and also more united. Many people already believed that he was the most outstanding Supreme Hall of the Spirit of the Pope ever possessed.
"Yes, Your Highness the Great Pope. ”
The Grandmaster disciple contracted slightly, a hint of pain running through his eyes. He turned around, walked over and stood where he had sat before, hands clasping in fragrant tea, which seemed to fall into old memories.
Looking at the Grandmaster's back, the indifference in the Supreme Pontiff's eyes faded, a mood that was somewhat unable to endure flashing. Raising his legs, he seemed to be stepping forward, but in the end held back.
“What did you come looking for me for? It has been twenty years since we last met. ”
The Supreme Pontiff's voice still sounded so calm.
The grandmaster took a deep breath, suppressing his raging heart. Even she did not expect that she would lose control like this upon seeing Auntie Dong again.
As he turned around, the atmosphere in his eyes completely disappeared, leaving only his usual apathy.
“Your Highness the Pope, I have come to make a request. ”
"Oh?"
The Great Pope looked at the Grandmaster in surprise,
"You're coming to ask me something? It's not like you. It seems like time is really going to change a man. Speak on. ”
The grandmaster did not explain. If it was only for himself, he would never have come to make requests from others, but, for the disciple he thought of as a son, he had no choice but to travel.
"Your Majesty, I wonder, how did you get through the twin spirit crisis at that time?"
The Great Pope's eyes contracted for a moment, and he calmly said:
"You don't need to know. What is this important to you? "
The grandmaster did not hide it, however,
“I received a disciple, he has been following me to cultivate for seven or eight years. Luckily, he has twin spirits like you. This boy is incredibly talented, and I look forward to raising him to strength. ”
"Why am I helping you? Let you cultivate the strength to fight me later? "
The voice of the Great Pope suddenly grew cold.
The grandmaster lowered his voice:
"Of course not . If you agree to tell me how you did it, I can guarantee you that my disciple will never oppose the Spirit Hall. ”
The corner of the Great Pope's mouth showed a smile,
"Initially, this was also a problem that even the Grandmaster of this theory did not know. Yu Xiao Gang, you are already late. A few days ago I had already sent people to rob and kill along the route that the Heaven Dou Empire's team of participants had to go along. Their target, is your Clear Sky School disciple. Therefore, there is no need for you to know the secrets of the twin spirits. ”
The grandmaster trembled violently, turning ferociously, looking at the Supreme Pope,
"What did you say?"
The Great Pope did not hide it, and nonchalantly said:
“Bishop Platinum Salas sent word that a child of Clear Sky School appeared, very talented. Already breaking through the fortyth rank at such a young age, twin spirits, had a ten thousand year level fourth spirit ring. It might even have spirit bones. Close to Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Heaven Dou Empire. My Spirit Hall cannot use such a person, but it can only be killed. ”
"You……"
“Bishop Platinum Salas sent word that a child of Clear Sky School appeared, very talented. Already breaking through the fortyth rank at such a young age, twin spirits, had a ten thousand year level fourth spirit ring. It might even have spirit bones. Close to Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Heaven Dou Empire. My Spirit Hall cannot use such a person, but it can only be killed. ”
"You……"
The Grandmaster stepped forward sharply, both hands crazily grabbed the shoulders of the Supreme Pope, his eyes instantly covered in blood, his entire body trembling violently.
Seeing Grandmaster's eyes filled with hatred, Auntie Dong went blank for a moment,
"For you, is he really that important?"
With his strength, he could naturally turn the Grandmaster away, but he did not, only allowing his hot hand to hold his shoulder.
Grandmaster's breathing became coarse, speaking word for word:
"Aunt Dong, listen to me clearly. If something happens to Tang San, then I will not spare the cost of destroying the Spirit hall. In my life I have no children, but he is like my son. ”
(TL by Bagelson) Part 2 (TL by Bagelson)
Sensing the Grandmaster's breath, the Supreme Pontiff's face reddened slightly, his breathing somewhat urgently said:
“Yu Xiao Gang, do you still have time to worry? Back then, do you remember how you left me? For your own little sister, silly, really too ridiculous. You actually turned me down for your own little sister. That I become the Supreme Pontiff is acknowledged thanks to you, but, I hate you. All my life, you are the person I hate the most. I want you to suffer, not only will I kill your disciple, I will still kill Liu Erlong. No, I will not kill him, I will torture him to make you suffer. ”
The Great Pope clearly became agitated, his eyes with the coldness of the viper.
Right at this moment, there was suddenly a light knock from outside.
"Get lost, didn't I say that no one bothered me without my order?"
The Great Pope growled.
The person outside apparently did not expect the seemingly friendly and approachable Great Pope to be in such a temperament,
"Your Majesty, the two elders have sent back the news. They did not complete the mission, and are waiting for your instructions. ”
"What's? Not completing the mission? "
The Great Whale's complexion changed, staring ferociously at the Grandmaster,
“It looks like your student is a bit lucky. ”
The grandmaster stared blankly for a moment, the red in his eyes gradually receding. He released his grip on the Great Pope's shoulder, and as he calmed down, he said:
"That you sent people to kill Tang San might not just be because of his talent. With the power of the Spirit Hall, how would you fear a single Spirit Master? If my guess is correct, you did it because of his father, right? ”
The Supreme Pontiff's gaze froze,
"You're still very smart. Go away I don't want to see you again. ”
The grandmaster nodded silently, walking towards the large door. When he held the doorknob, he suddenly stopped, faintly saying:
"Twenty years, Auntie Dong. You're still very pretty, but I'm old. If the person whose life is threatened today is you, I will still react the same. After all, you are my first love. ”
"Omong empty. ”
"You're still very smart. Go away I don't want to see you again. ”
The grandmaster nodded silently, walking towards the large door. When he held the doorknob, he suddenly stopped, faintly saying:
"Twenty years, Auntie Dong. You're still very pretty, but I'm old. If the person whose life is threatened today is you, I will still react the same. After all, you are my first love. ”
"Omong empty. ”
The Great Pope suddenly shook,
“Can you still love? You are not fit to say it. Would you still leave me if you loved me? Prefer to be with your sister? You , get out. ”
“As for why I left you back then, you should not ask me, you should go ask the dead Great Pope. You always describe me as a fickle and cold person. I'll follow your point. What I said earlier, if Tang San dies at the hands of the Spirit Hall people. Then . I will not pay the price to pay back. Auntie Dong, this is the last time I call you like this. You sent people to act against Tang San, our mutual relationship with this is over. ”
Great Pope Auntie Dong swayed, seemingly unable to lean on the royal scepter, he fell to the floor.
He hated the Grandmaster, hated him for twenty whole years. Being able to sustain such a deep hatred for so long, meant that his love for her back then was so deep. The Grandmaster's words before leaving suddenly made a small crack appear in his hatred.
Recalling all the instructions from the last Great Pope as well as everything in the past, the truth that had been obscured by hatred gradually appeared before him.
Everything in front of his eyes gradually became blurred, his hands were already bleached due to the power he wielded the royal scepter, and,
“Is this destiny toying with humans? Xiao Gang, the feeling between us. Feelings between us .... ”.
The Great Pope suddenly ran over to where the Grandmaster was sitting earlier, grasping the extremely warm fragrant tea, swallowing a large mouthful.
……
The competing Team Spirit Master of the Heaven Dou Empire continued to advance, and for the rest of the journey, there were no more accidents. In order to protect these Spirit Masters, the crown prince Xue Qinghe asked the three thousand armored troops to equip the guards of the cities they passed through. At the same time he also summoned several Spirit Master experts from the capital.
Xue Qinghe did not interact more with Tang San. She was also very clear about what kind of problem Tang San was facing, and at that moment, she used the action to get a good impression of Tang San.
Amidst the journey, the atmosphere on the Shrek Academy team seemed somewhat oppressive. The only good news was that Xiao Wu had finally broken through to the forty, five-day rank of Spirit City. In order to let him have the fourth spirit ring as soon as possible, Liu Erlong took him directly to look for a spirit beast suitable for him, to meet the others in Spirit City.
Finally, the entire procession reached Spirit City. Due to Spirit City's special provisions, Xue Qinghe ordered the armored troops and knight regiments to stand by outside the city, and led fifteen Spirit Master teams to Spirit City.
Compared to big cities like Heaven Dou City and Suotuo City, Spirit City was much smaller. It did not even cover a tenth of the area that Heaven Dou City did. However, it was still shocking to Spirit Masters.
Although the area was small, the walls of Spirit City were still completely built to the standards of any capital city. The city walls over eighty meters tall looked extremely majestic from the outside, and they were also over thirty meters thick, built entirely of granite.
Even the rich Ning Fengzhi could not help but breath in admiration looking at the wall.
In fact, Spirit City was built entirely by the Spirit Hall. Isn't building a city like this easier said than done?
The most unusual is that Spirit City is not parallel to other cities, but rather hexagonal. In other words, the city walls had six faces. The ones in charge of patrolling the city walls were all Spirit Masters, all wearing Spirit Hall special clothes.
Each of the six walls has a large statue, identical to the command tile of the Spirit Hall, symbolizing the six formidable spirits.
Entering Spirit City gave people a broad impression. There were not many people on the streets, and very few shops. The business of these shops was mainly in the items required by Spirit Masters. Even storage-type spirit tools were sold. Of course, the quality is a bit lacking.
They were met in Spirit City by a cardinal, and under his guidance, space was very quickly found for over two hundred people, staying in a hotel on the west side of Spirit City. Tang San's surprise was that even the hotel staff was a Spirit Grandmaster with spirit power ranked over twenty.
After settling down, Tang San specifically moved out of the hotel, carefully observing the other areas of Spirit City outside.
He discovered that the hexagonal Spirit City was actually built around a hill. On this hill are two very striking buildings. The building in the middle of the hill was the most magnificent, clearly visible even from a distance.
It was a pillar building with a domed roof; the outside of the building was made of gold material, shimmering in the sun. By simply asking, Tang San learned that it was the newly built Supreme Pontiff's Palace. The residence of the most senior Spirit Hall master.
From Ning Fengzhi he also knew that deeper, the Palace Elder Spirit Hall was also located in the Great Pope Palace. Of course, it was impossible for ordinary people to see those elders.
The other buildings on the hilltop were much smaller than Supreme Pontiff Hall, roughly only a third of the size. The architecture was somewhat similar, only the walls were as white as jade, far from being as eye-catching as the Great Pope Palace.
For some reason, when Tang San looked at that magnificent building, inside him he felt an even greater depth.
Ever since entering the Spirit City, every Spirit Master had some kind of special feeling, seemingly a rather godly mood in their hearts. Ning Fengzhi told Tang San that the seemingly much smaller building was the highest existence in the Spirit Hall, Douluo Palace.
Only a dead Title Douluo could stay in that place. It could also be called the Title Tomb of Douluo. The reason this place had such a devout atmosphere was not because of the Supreme Palace of the Pope, but rather because of the Palace of Douluo.
No matter where the Great Pope's Palace was established, the Douluo Palace would follow, and moreover the position of the Douluo Palace would always be higher than the Great Pope's Palace. At times of great ceremony, the Great Pope would personally go to offer sacrifices in front of the doors of the Douluo Palace, but even he did not have the right to enter before dying. It's the rule, and no one can break it. Otherwise, he would suffer the fury of all Spirit Masters.
Precisely because of the existence of the Grand Pope's Palace and Douluo's Palace, Spirit City came to be known as the holy land of Spirit Masters after its founding. Of course, this was also openly accepted by the majority of Spirit Masters.
Due to Tang San's half-way attack and persistence in surviving the competition, Flender and Liu Erlong both stayed in places closest to him, even Ning Fengzhi specifically chose a residence not far away. Although it was at least likely that something would happen in Spirit City, they still had no choice but to guard it.
According to the information from the Spirit Hall, the competition will officially begin in three days. The trip was exhausting, but these three days of rest were enough for the academy to adjust.
The academies participating in the Star Luo Empire were set to rest on the other side of Spirit City. Without feeling it, the Spirit Hall had already divided the participating teams of the two great empires into two camps.
Regarding this matter, Xue Qinghe simply smiled coldly in return, but did not raise any objections.
The group of Shrek Academy all continued to rest for three days, spending all their time in meditation to cultivate spirit power, to maintain their peak condition as much as possible.
Liu Erlong and Xiao Wu, finally returned the day before the start of the finals.
(TL by Bagelson) Part 3 (TL by Bagelson)
For some reason, Liu Erlong's expression was rather horrifying. Xiao Wu managed to obtain his fourth spirit ring, but according to Liu Erlong, he was separated from Xiao Wu at that moment.
And Xiao Wu himself said that he found a wounded spirit beast, and by luck, obtained this spirit ring.
A new final was about to begin, and at this moment, no one would wonder about this matter.
When Xiao Wu returned, Tang San asked about his fourth spirit ability to begin combining it into a final tactic, but at this moment, the Grandmaster finally returned.
"Little San, you're fine. ”
This was the first thing the Grandmaster said when he saw Tang San.
“Teacher, you know? I'm fine . This time thanks to Ning's strange parents and uncle, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't see me. ”
The grandmaster sighed,
"This is my fault . I'm not supposed to let you participate in the tournament. You've caught their attention. ”
Tang San smiled slightly, saying:
“Teacher, no need to blame yourself? I was still fine, it could even be considered an unconventional experience. Only by experiencing a confrontation with true strength did I understand how insignificant my own strength was. After that I will double my efforts in cultivating. ”
The Grandmaster's face finally showed a smile,
"You always make sense. You are right, making a great effort in cultivation. As long as I still catch my breath, I won't let anyone hurt you. The final will start tomorrow. Call everyone, I'll give you some simple tactics. ”
After reaching the final, the Grandmaster finally acted.
Very quickly, Tang San called all the team members. Liu Erlong learned that the Grandmaster had returned, and also immediately followed.
The gazes of Grandmaster and Liu Erlong met, and Liu Erlong read something in the eyes of the Grandmaster. He did not speak and only quietly walked to his side, holding onto his arm.
Looking at Liu Erlong's gentle appearance, Shrek Seven Devils and the others all could not help but bear a somewhat strange expression. That tyrant dragon would probably only hold back like this in front of the Grandmaster.
The Grandmaster's gaze swept over everyone, then said:
“Final will start soon. I think you may have forgotten what I said about the format of the previous competition. I'll repeat it once. The final had thirty-three teams participating. Among them, three seeded teams were chosen separately from each of the two great empires and the Spirit Hall. The biggest threat to you is the team sent by the Spirit Hall. They are also the biggest hurdle for you to get the final victory. ”
“All there are five rounds in the final. It is somewhat shorter than the time used for qualifying and ranking competitions, but due to the intensity of the competition, there are days of rest and revision between each round. Before the final and fifth round, there were even three days of rest. In the first round, three seeded teams would sit, and the remaining thirty teams would fight for fifteen forward placements, the losers being instantly eliminated. The ruthless knockout competition must have had every team of Spirit Masters risking their lives. You definitely cannot have the slightest carelessness. In this final hour, the hidden abilities of all the teams would eventually be unleashed, no longer holding anything back. Even a team you've already played against might be able to give you a 'surprise'. ”
“According to the rules of the tournament, in the second round, the first ranked teams of the two great empires will sit down. In other words, once we get the win in the first half, there will be enough time to rest in the second half. This is also the significance behind ranking competition. At that time, sixteen teams would fight for eight spots in the third round. Further adding to our two break teams, there are ten teams. In the third round it was the second ranked team sitting. The remaining eight teams fought for four places to enter the fourth round with them. In the fourth round, no team was absent. As a result, only the top two teams of the ranking competition can benefit in the finals. But the earlier you can sit, the more profitable it is, because you can avoid being removed prematurely. In the fifth and final round, there were only three teams coming in. The first three teams would use the method of the ranking competition, the seven team members performing the outstanding eliminations, to decide which team had the strongest members. After that the two losing teams will fight in a team match, the winner once again challenges the winner from before, to decide who will be the final champion. Do you all understand? "
"Yes, understand. ”
Everyone had a good memory, and now when it was really time for the finals, their minds were naturally unrivalled.
The grandmaster nodded, saying:
“It's impossible to say who our first opponent is, but at least it's not the top three. That will prevent us from meeting them prematurely. However, it would still be the Shrek Seven Devils coming out. You haven't worked together on the battlefield in a long time. This first round will be a warm-up for you. I'm not going to give you any special tactics, the ring is still under San's control. ”
“San small. ”
"here. ”
Tang San hurriedly stepped forward.
The grandmaster looked at him, saying:
“We will practically escape the first and second rounds. Therefore, let the opponent learn as little as possible about where our advantage was in the first half. Do you understand my point? "
Tang San nodded:
“It's impossible to say who our first opponent is, but at least it's not the top three. That will prevent us from meeting them prematurely. However, it would still be the Shrek Seven Devils coming out. You haven't worked together on the battlefield in a long time. This first round will be a warm-up for you. I'm not going to give you any special tactics, the ring is still under San's control. ”
“San small. ”
"here. ”
Tang San hurriedly stepped forward.
The grandmaster looked at him, saying:
“We will practically escape the first and second rounds. Therefore, let the opponent learn as little as possible about where our advantage was in the first half. Do you understand my point? "
Tang San nodded:
“You said that even though we were seven up, we should still hide our strength as much as possible in the first half. ”
The grandmaster smiled and nodded,
“However, you still can't be rash. After all, it is still possible for you to gain the power of the Star Luo Empire in the first round. ”
"Yes nih . ”
Grandmaster's gaze turned to Shrek Seven Devils as a whole,
“You've been studying under me for two years. I'm very clear about how much effort you've put in over these two years. Needless to say, you are all geniuses among geniuses. Even if you are facing an opponent who is stronger than you, your confidence does not need to diminish, because you are the youngest team among all competitors. Your future is unlimited. I have no requirements to enter the Championship, my only hope is that each of you can display your own true strength. Find the best method to awaken your own potential. ”
"Yes nih . ”
Shrek Seven Devils agreed loudly.
The moment Grandmaster and Liu Erlong left, Shrek Seven Devils instantly started cultivating, preparing for the first round of the competition tomorrow.
Liu Erlong pulled the Grandmaster straight into his room,
"Xiao Gang, how is it?"
Looking at the Grandmaster, Liu Erlong's gaze somewhat dodged. He of course knew where the Grandmaster was going, and the Grandmaster kept nothing from him.
Sighing, the Grandmaster said:
"He changed. Without meeting for twenty years, people will always change. Now he is the Supreme Pontiff. Not Auntie Dong back then. Looks like I really shouldn't have gone to find him. ”
The slight pain in his heart made his expression somewhat sad.
Liu Erlong inwardly let out a breath,
"That means, he didn't tell you the method to cultivate twin spirits?"
The grandmaster smiled sadly,
"He sent people to dispose of Tang San, fully realizing that he was my disciple. How did he tell me the method to cultivate twin spirits? But then how? I've guessed a few things. With the opportunity, as long as Auntie Dong can be brought in to actually show her hands, I can be sure of my ideas. ”
Hearing this, the Grandmaster took the initiative to pull Liu Erlong into an embrace,
"Erlong, this is Spirit City, that's the domain. From now on, you can't be away from my side no matter what, I'm afraid it will harm me. ”
Liu Erlong immediately showed his proper temperament, though,
"Let her come, am I still afraid of her? So what if he is the Great Pope, he still has not defeated me. As long as he doesn't take you away, I won't be afraid of anything. ”
Listening to Liu Erlong's overbearing speech, the Grandmaster could not show a faint smile, lowering his head to lightly kiss his forehead,
"Don't worry, he'll never take me. We are husband and wife, though only in name. ”
Hearing this, Liu Erlong could not help expressing his grief. Although the Grandmaster no longer ran away from his feelings, and the two treated each other like husband and wife, the Grandmaster never agreed to be too intimate. The siblings' relationship always lay between them. Fortunately, even though it was just a name alone, it was still enough to console Liu Erlong's heart.
……
For the finals of the Elite Tournament of Advanced Spirit Master Academy, Spirit City had specially opened a certain area. This area was in the heart of Spirit City. The giant stage was over a hundred meters wide, made entirely of granite.
This enormous stage was still reinforced with a large number of spirit tools to prevent damage. According to the Spirit Hall's information, this ring could take any attack from Spirit Masters below Spirit Emperor level without inflicting any damage.
Only a rich and impressive organization like the Spirit Hall could do something like this, at least two great empires would hate parting with such great resources.
In front of this stage was the Great Pope's Palace, the distance from here to the hill where the Palace was located was less than a kilometer. The Spirit Hall had already announced that the final between the last three powers would take place right in front of the Great Pope's Palace.
At that time, the Supreme Pontiff will appear personally to crown the final champion.
To any Spirit Master, this was incomparable glory.
At first glance, all competing teams were brought into the competition area by a special guide from the Spirit Hall. Each academy had its own resting place, built around the ring. On the opposite side of the Grand Pope's Palace was the seat of the VIP judges, where the people of the two great empires would observe the battle. Of course, there were still intermediaries from the Spirit Hall.
When they arrived, without pause, Flender was called in to draw a lot.
