When the first rays of sunlight in the morning reflected in Spirit Dou City, this thousand-year-old city had already woken up from its slumber, and countless people walked out of their residences and poured into the streets, and the streets and alleys were overcrowded for a while.

If you look down from the sky now, you can see a dense crowd of people crowding like ant colonies, converging along the main road in the direction of the venue.

In order to prepare for the competition, all the streets around the arena were filled with heavily armed soldiers, guiding the spectators into the arena in an orderly manner to avoid accidents. The gathering area of the contestants was blocked in advance to prevent outsiders from disturbing the rest of the contestants, and also to allow the participating teams to arrive at the venue more easily and avoid congestion.

The arena was the Grand Arena of Spirit Dou City, large enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of spectators, and the central arena was 100 meters in diameter and 5 meters high. There is a large defensive soul guide set up on the periphery of the competition table, and the elite soul masters of the Fighting Spirit Empire are in charge, and after the game starts, they will take action to block all the soul skills inside from overflowing, so as not to damage the venue or hurt the audience.

At this time, the arena was empty, and the center of the square was empty except for the soldiers who were guarding.

It wasn't until about 8 a.m. that the checkpoints began to be released, and the audience was able to enter the arena in a long queue under the guidance of dozens of designed paths, and the audience was soon crowded with figures.

If you want to watch the Fighting Soul Competition of the Advanced Soul Master Academy of the whole continent, it is not free, even if you watch the competition in the ring area in the academy, it will cost money, let alone a competition of this scale!

The daily entrance fee is not too expensive, only two gold coins, and if it is a soul master, only one gold coin is needed.

For ordinary civilians, this is a lot of money, and it has to be considered, but for the residents who live in the imperial capital, it is not much.

However, although the number of people that can be accommodated in this venue is limited, it can accommodate more than 120,000 visitors at the same time. Two gold coins is just the basic price, and the closer you are to the playing table, the more expensive the entrance fee becomes. In the VIP seats closest to the competition table, everyone has to pay 100 gold soul coins to enter, and this is the territory of merchants and nobles.

With the daily entrance fee income alone, the Douling Empire can receive nearly one million gold coins, and the schedule of the Continent's Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament often lasts for about a month, and this month, it is tens of millions of gold coins! Coupled with the outbreak of Spirit Dou City's commerce during the competition, this is an extremely terrifying wealth.

Through the evolution of thousands of years, the major empires have some understanding of how this competition can bring the greatest benefits, which is also an important reason why the four empires are willing to hold the continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition.

For the soul master world, which lacks activities in all aspects, the Elite Tournament of the Higher Soul Master Academy in the whole continent is undoubtedly a gold-absorbing monster, and every time it is held, it will bring huge economic benefits and attract the attention of all chambers of commerce.

Needless to say, the leaders of those big chambers of commerce are very shrewd and will not miss this publicity opportunity. And every competition will inevitably have a top auction in the whole continent, and all kinds of small and medium-sized auctions will not stop, even soul masters who are not interested in the competition will be attracted by these auctions to buy treasures.

On the west side of the competition stage, there is also a luxurious rest area for players, which is specially provided for the players of various colleges. However, the lounge area can only accommodate about seventy houses, and it is clear that there are no prepared seats for the first round of eliminated colleges. This is not a waste, and at the same time, it can also stimulate the fighting spirit of the participating students.

Since the Continent-wide Senior Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition has changed to the current format, in addition to the final stage of the competition, the most exciting thing is actually the first round of the knockout roundout, which is even more exciting and even tragic than the subsequent round-robin matches.

Round-robin matches can also have tactical arrangements and even tactical temporary concessions. But this first round is a direct knockout round, and if you lose, you have to leave, and any participating house must pass this hurdle, even the previous champion Shrek Academy.

Of course, the major top colleges are all placed in different competition areas, and it is impossible to meet in the first round, otherwise these top colleges will be eliminated from each other at the beginning, and the ranking will be too much in the back.

In addition, sometimes due to the increase or decrease of participating colleges, or the abandonment of the competition, the teams may not be able to make up the number, so the competition has a bye by lot, but no college can directly enjoy the privilege of a bye.

Early in the morning, the leading teachers of each college had already come to the venue one step ahead of schedule and drew lots with the number plates they received when they registered. At this point, the draw ceremony has been completed. On the side of the Douling Empire, there will naturally be officials who will count the lottery results.

As soon as the order of the competition comes out, the final preparations for the early stage of the competition will be completed.

Before the audience entered, Lin Yueyun and his partners had already come to the contestant area and stood up.

Students from all participating academies have already entered the stadium first, but no one is allowed to enter the lounge area today. Only those who have won the knockout rounds will be eligible to enter the rest area.

Today, everyone in the Thousand Spirits Academy is wearing a specially customized blue and white school uniform, since this is a home battle, the position of the local colleges of the Fighting Spirit Empire such as the Thousand Spirits Academy is relatively high, and the front is undoubtedly Shrek Academy in a dark green school uniform.

Shrek Academy, as the first academy in the mainland, has always been exclusive to it, followed by the second place in the previous session, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, these two are the first academy of the soul master and the soul master, and then the third place in the previous session, the Diao Academy of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Speaking of which, excluding Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the two leaders of the soul master world and the soul master world, the Diao Academy of the Heavenly Soul Empire can be said to be the strongest academy.

As a place of long-term war, the Heavenly Soul Empire was surrounded by the other three major empires, and they all had a deep hostile relationship with them.

In the Heavenly Soul Empire, there are many strong soul masters, Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao and Death God Douluo Ye Xishui, two Extreme Douluo, plus an Ontology Sect, with the strong people who emerged from this empire alone, they can compete with Shrek Academy at the level of top powerhouses.

Not to mention that there was once a former Ontology Sect Sect Master who was at the peak of the Dragon God Douluo Moon, who was defeated and finally died!

You know, Moon holds the Seagod's Light, which is a god-level power! can use the body of a mortal to fight against the power of the gods, the strength of this big man can be imagined, even if it is Moon himself, he has to admire one or two.

If it weren't for the adventure behind Dragon God Douluo, who forcibly continued his life, he would have been taken away by this big guy. Even so, Dragon God Douluo also fell to the point of being crippled for life, and since then he has not been active in the soul master world, resulting in outsiders generally believing that these two died together back then.
