(PS: There are a lot of original texts in this chapter, so I'll post them together.) But the introduction of the ring, the lottery is too easy to omit, for the sake of the free chapter, the bigwigs spray lightly. The total word count of this chapter is 2800+)

For the finals of the elite competition of the continent's advanced soul master academy, Wuhun City specially opened up a special venue. This venue is located right in the heart of Wuhun City. The huge ring is also 100 meters in diameter and is completely made of granite.
On this huge competition platform, a large number of soul guides are also used to reinforce them to prevent breakage. According to the information given by the Soul Palace, this field is enough to prohibit any attack from soul masters below the Soul Emperor without being damaged.
Only a deep-pocketed organization like the Martial Spirit Hall would do this, at least the two empires were reluctant to spend such huge resources.
Directly in front of this stage is the Papal Palace. From here, it is less than a kilometre from the hill where the Papal Palace is located. The Wuhun Hall has announced in the notice posted that the final three finalists will compete in front of the Pope's Palace.
At that time, the Pope will appear in person and crown the final champion.
For any soul master, this is an unparalleled glory.
Early in the morning, all the participating academies came to the competition venue under the leadership of the special person from the Wuhun Palace. Each college has its own lounge area, which is built around the playing field. On the opposite side of the Papal Palace, there are the VIP judges' seats. The people who came on behalf of the two empires were all there to watch the battle, and of course, there were also people in the Wuhun Palace.
As soon as he arrived here, before he could settle down, Flender was called away to draw lots.
The draw for the first round is undoubtedly very important, and if you can draw a weaker opponent, it will be quite advantageous for any team.
Especially a team like Shrek Academy that had a bye in the second round. If they can win comfortably in the first round, then they can recharge their batteries and focus on the third round. From the third round onwards, the real competition is the real one.
Flender came back soon, his face was obviously good, with a smile on his face, looking at his triumphant appearance, no need to ask, this lottery is naturally very good.
Flender said happily: "Now there is good news and bad news. The bad news is that the opponent we drew is our old rival, Blazing Academy. β
Hearing Flender's words, everyone was surprised, this is a narrow road.
"And what about the good news?" Ye Lan asked.
"The good news is that the Blazing Academy gave up on the finals and automatically abstained."
Liu Erlong said: "It has taken a lot for the Blazing Academy to reach the finals, how can it suddenly abstain?" β
Flender spread his hands and said, "Don't ask me. I don't know. The news came out of nowhere. But either way, it's good news for us. The first two rounds have a bye. β
Ning Rongrong smiled and said, "It's good, it's going to be in the top ten before you play." β
......
The finals did not have the grand opening ceremony as expected, everything was very simple.
A cardinal of the Wuhun Hall came to the stage and announced the start of the finals, along with the list of appearances and byes.
Subsequently, the game began under the command of the referee specially selected by the Wuhun Palace.
The two teams in the first round of the competition were not very strong, so Ye Lan and the others didn't pay much attention. However, when it came to the second round of the competition, everyone was a little surprised.
This second match is the Kamikaze Academy vs. the Star Luo Empire Earth Nightshade Academy. To everyone's surprise, in the lineup of the Kamikaze Academy, there were four people who had changed. And these four people turned out to be from the Blazing Academy.
The dozen or so academies on the side of the Star Luo Empire were nothing, but the Heaven Dou Empire's side blew up. How did the members of the Blazing Academy appear in the Kamikaze Academy?
Ye Lan was not too surprised to see this scene, although many memories have been blurred in the past ten years since he came to this world, but seeing this scene, the memory in the original book suddenly appeared in his mind, so he also knew what was going on.
"They must have taken advantage of the rules. The participating colleges cannot be changed in the middle of the process, but this does not mean that the colleges that have registered and recorded cannot change the colleges temporarily. As long as the Martial Spirit Hall acquiesces, it is not impossible for them to change the court. Ye Lan said.
That's what the master in the original book said, and when this memory came to mind, Ye Lan directly copied it and said the master's words.
The master nodded approvingly: "Ah Lan is right, they have exploited the loopholes in the rules. But now it's impossible to follow suit. Now that the competition has begun, the final spots for each team to participate in the finals have been decided. And they're all going to be competing today. Once you have already competed, it is impossible to change the academy. What's more, what house would give up its place in the finals? The Blazing Flame Academy played a lot this time, and I don't know what they paid to make the Martial Spirit Hall so accommodating. β
After a while, Flender, who went to inquire about the organizing committee, came back with a gloomy face, and the reply given by the Wuhun Hall was very simple, within the scope of the rules, the organizing committee would not interfere.
Ye Lan saw that Flender was in a bad mood, so he comforted: "Dean, don't worry, they are just all members of the Soul Sect now." Our configuration is no worse than theirs, and even stronger. If we can win them once, we can win them a second and third time. β
With Ye Lan's comfort, not only Flender, but also several other people were in a much more comfortable mood. Ye Lan is right, they are just some defeated men, if they can win them once, they can naturally win them a second and third time, there is nothing to worry about.
Although the two colleges merged into one, they gave up a place in the finals after all. In a sense, Shrek Academy is still a beneficiary.
The first two rounds of the competition ended quickly, and the top ten of the Continent's Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition were released.
The third round of the competition is about to begin, and the second academy in this round of kamikaze academy and Star Luo Empire promotion round has a bye. Shrek Academy also ushered in their first battle in the finals.
Shrek Academy's good luck seems to have run out in the first two rounds, and their opponent in the third round is the Star Luo Royal Senior Soul Master Academy. That is, among the three seeded teams, the one selected by the Star Luo Empire.
However, this is not the most eye-catching, what is even more surprising is another match, the Soul Hall Advanced Soul Master Academy against the Heaven Dou Royal Senior Soul Master Academy.
The collision of the two seeded teams seems to prove the fairness of the finals from the side.
There is no doubt that both games are top priorities.
After getting the lottery results, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's emotions were not quite right, which was naturally seen by everyone.
Ye Lan reached out and held Zhu Zhuqing's little hand tightly, and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, everything is with me." β
Zhu Zhuqing heard the fluttering words, but he seemed to have infinite power in his ears.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the lover in front of him and nodded: "Hmm." β
"Boss Dai, what's wrong with you?" Ma Hongjun was very puzzled by Dai Mubai's emotional changes.
Ye Lan looked at Dai Mubai, who was a little depressed, and sighed: "Mubai, tell them, at this point, there is no need to hide it from them anymore." Don't forget our previous conversation, with me here, what are you worried about? β
Hearing Ye Lan's words, Tang San and the others were even more puzzled.
"Fourth brother, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing? What are you hiding from us? Ning Rongrong asked curiously.
Ye Lan glanced at Dai Mubai and said, "Mubai, since you don't want to speak, then let me speak." β
"No, Alan. Let me do it anyway. There are some things that really need to be solved. β
Dai Mubai cleaned up his mood, and then told everyone about the problems he and Zhu Zhuqing were going to face.
After listening to Dai Mubai's story, Tang San was a little stunned: "Mubai, do you have a marriage contract with Zhuqing?" What about Zhuqing and Alan? β
Not only Tang San, but several other people also suddenly felt that the relationship between the three of them was so chaotic. Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing have a marriage contract, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lan are a loving little couple, what is this?
Dai Mubai shook his head slightly: "The marriage contract between me and Zhuqing was just set by my family, and before I came to Shrek, we met when we were children, and Zhuqing and I didn't mean that." Since Zhuqing and Ah Lan are in love, I naturally won't be that villain. Ah Lan and I have already confessed to this matter. β
Zhu Zhuqing also stood up at this time, she bowed deeply to everyone, and said: "This battle is related to the life and death of me and Dai Mubai, and we must win." β
"This competition is the only chance for me and Dai Mubai, only by defeating our brother and sister in the game, we have a chance to live. Otherwise, we have only one end, and that is death. β
Ye Lan walked to Zhu Zhuqing's side, held her soft again, and also bowed to Tang San and the others: "Brothers, this battle is about the lives of Zhuqing and Mu Bai, please!" β
Tang San glanced at the three of them, stretched out his right hand, and spit out two words: "Victory." β
Followed by Oscar, he put his right hand on Tang San's hand. Ye Lan, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong made the same action one after another. When Dai Mubai's right hand was also superimposed, the eight people roared almost at the same time: "Victory." β
