247 Finals Begins
"Five-year agreement?" Everyone looked at Qi Tian.
Qi Tian did not make this suggestion casually. In his previous life, after graduating from the sports school, he rarely contacted his classmates.
After graduation, everyone went their separate ways, busy working hard for their lives.
Later, he and his classmates got together several times, but not all of them were present. Every time he got together, there was always some regret.
If they had made a five-year agreement at the beginning, perhaps they would have had a chance to get all their classmates together.
Since I have a second chance to live my life, I naturally don't want to have any regrets in the future.
"From now on, we will return to the academy every five years. We can learn about each other's changes over the years and talk about the interesting things we have encountered," Qi Tian explained.
"Let's pick a fixed time so everyone can get things sorted out ahead of time so we can all get together later."
"It's a good idea. What do you think?" Feng Xiaotian said with a smile.
"No problem." Everyone agreed.
"Everyone, please cherish our last moments together. The next time we meet will be five years from now."
Inside Shrek Academy, Tang San also proposed the idea of a five-year agreement to everyone.
"Children, after the Soul Master Competition is over, you will all graduate. Everyone should perform well in tomorrow's final and put a perfect end to your college life." Yu Xiaogang said with a smile.
His ability in logistics management was far inferior to Flanders. His words added a bit of pressure to the Shrek team.
…
The next day, bright sunshine shone on the earth.
The three teams that made it to the finals stepped onto the steps in front of the Pope's palace.
Beside them were two rows of armored, stern-eyed guards of the Papal Palace.
"As expected of the Spirit Hall, it really has extraordinary foundation." Feng Wuotan, the team leader, couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Each of these guards is a Soul Sage, and some of them are younger than him but have higher soul power levels than him.
In the outside world, Soul Saints are already powerful people who can establish their own sects. But in the Spirit Hall, they are just ordinary guards.
While the Spirit Hall displayed its heritage, it also highlighted the majesty and status of the Pope's Palace.
The thirty teams that were eliminated in the first few rounds of the finals originally had no chance to watch the game, but this time the Spirit Hall made a concession and allowed them to watch the game in front of the Pope's Hall.
Combined with today's actions, it is not difficult to see that the Spirit Hall is demonstrating its strength to the entire continent.
It is foreseeable what kind of pressure the Spirit Hall will bring to the two empires after the Soul Master Competition is over.
Soon, the contestants from the three finalist teams arrived at the square in front of the Spirit Hall. After that, the contestants from the eliminated teams were allowed to enter the venue.
As for the ordinary people in the city who wanted to watch the final, they were blocked outside the Pope's Palace.
The Pope's Palace is an important place in the world of soul masters. How can it be allowed to be entered and exited freely like a vegetable market?
As the most respected Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong doesn't want to be watched like a monkey.
Being at home, the Spirit Hall team seemed particularly relaxed and confident.
From the moment she entered, Hu Liena's eyes never left Qi Tian.
The Spirit Hall is the palace in the mind of the spirit master, and there are countless scholars who study the theory of spirits. Before the competition, these scholars have done their research and come up with a list of the most threatening players in this competition.
Among them, Qi Tian ranks first, followed by Tang San, and Feng Xiaotian is third.
It can be said that without Qi Tian, the strength of the Wind and Fire Team would be greatly reduced. The Wind and Fire Team supported by Feng Xiaotian alone might not be as good as the Shrek Team.
"Asshole!" Yan noticed Hu Liena's gaze and was immediately so angry that his teeth itched.
Taking two steps forward, he said to Qi Tian, "Boy, I hope you won't be scared in the challenge later. Let's have a fair fight between men."
"Yan!" Hu Liena reminded in a cold voice: "Don't be presumptuous in front of the Pope's Palace."
Yan retreated back to the team angrily, his eyes revealing anger and determination.
Qi Tian felt speechless. He didn't know why he was targeted by this boiling sheep.
Before he could think, an elderly cardinal in front of the Pope's Palace announced loudly: "His Holiness the Pope has arrived!"
"Long live, long live, long live."
A sound like a tsunami answered above the Pope's Palace.
The door of the Pope's Palace slowly opened, and many people held their breath, ready to witness Bibi Dong's face.
"Hmph!" Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but snort coldly when he saw such a grand scene.
It finally came out after much anticipation.
Bibi Dong walked out of the Pope's Palace, followed by four people.
Qi Tian knew these four people, they were Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and Jue Gui Douluo from the Pope's Palace.
Anyone who can walk out of the main gate of the Pope's Palace must be a Titled Douluo. Although Ning Fengzhi is not a Titled Douluo, as the leader of the three upper sects, he has been awarded the title of Honorary Elder of the Spirit Hall, and his status is comparable to that of a Titled Douluo.
In addition, Dugu Bo also had the opportunity to follow Bibi Dong out. However, his relationship with the Spirit Hall had reached the point of being incompatible with each other, especially since it was Bibi Dong who issued the killing order against him.
Therefore, he will not appear in the same frame with Bibi Dong.
"Greetings to His Holiness the Pope." All the contestants and guards in the square in front of the Pope's Palace knelt on one knee to show their respect to the Pope, and Qi Tian was no exception.
It is not a good thing to be a maverick and a troublemaker before your strength has grown.
"How dare you disrespect His Holiness the Pope!" The cardinal raised the heavy sword in his hand, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the members of the Shrek team.
Yu Xiaogang had resentment towards Bibi Dong, so of course he would not kneel down.
The Shrek Seven Devils included disciples from the top three sects, so of course they were unwilling to kneel.
As for Oscar, he was a little hesitant, his body was in a state of whether to kneel or not, and it was difficult to make a decision.
Although the Spirit Hall did not have a clear rule that one must kneel when meeting the Pope, this rule was applicable to all groups, including Titled Douluo.
In the Spirit Hall, except for Juegui Douluo who was directly under the Pope's Hall, the other Titled Douluo would not kneel when they saw Bibi Dong. These exceptions were all powerful Titled Douluo or people of noble status like Ning Fengzhi.
The strongest of the Shrek Seven Devils, including the leader and teacher, was only a Soul Saint. How dare they do such a rebellious act!
For a moment, unfriendly eyes were cast at them.
Bibi Dong stood on the podium without saying a word, but a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang walked forward with his head held high, his hands behind his back, "Your Holiness, the Spirit Hall has never stipulated that we must kneel when we see you. I think it is our right to kneel or not."
After saying this, he felt the "approving" looks from those around him and he immediately enjoyed it.
Being able to stand out in front of so many powerful people is a rare opportunity.
The cardinal was extremely angry about this, but since Bibi Dong hadn't spoken, he didn't dare to initiate the attack.
