Chapter 143 Post-War Awards
The match between Team Tiantou No. 1 and Team Tiandou No. 2 was the last match of the final round. After this battle, all the match results and rankings were released.
Team Tiandou II boasts an undefeated record, ranking first. Their performance, both in terms of the battlefield and their dominance over their opponents, is truly terrifying, making their first-place ranking well-deserved.
At this time, the Tiandou Second Team maintained a perfect record of 28 wins and was ranked first among all teams.
Tianshui Academy achieved a record of 26 wins and 2 losses, ranking second. The two losses were against Tiandou Second Team and Shenfeng Academy, but due to the head-to-head results, they ranked ahead of Tiandou First Team.
Team Tiandou 1 achieved a record of 26 wins and 2 losses, ranking third. Their two losses were against Team Tiandou 2 and Tianshui Academy.
Blazing Fire Academy ranked fourth with a record of 25 wins and 3 losses, losing only to the top three. Due to head-to-head results, it ranked ahead of Divine Wind Academy.
Shenfeng Academy achieved a record of 25 wins and 3 losses, ranking fifth. The three losses were against Tiandou Team 1, Tiandou Team 2, and Chihuo Academy.
Thunder Academy is ranked sixth with a record of 23 wins and 5 losses, all of which were losses to the top five teams.
These are the top six teams from the Tiandou region, and all six teams have qualified for the qualifying rounds.
Xiangjia Academy unfortunately ranked seventh, which seems to be the only time in recent years that they failed to enter the qualifying rounds. Hu Yanzhen's face turned black with anger.
Canghui Academy is rather disappointing. Although it has the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique, which can occasionally give them a sneaky advantage against strong teams, its overall strength is still too weak. Once other teams are on guard, it becomes difficult to use it effectively.
In particular, the sudden and mysterious disappearance of Shi Nian, the team leader of Canghui Academy, caused extreme chaos within the team, making it impossible to devise many targeted tactics. As a result, they suffered several crushing defeats and were eliminated.
As for Shrek Academy, which rose to prominence in the original story, also known as Blue Tyrant Academy before its name change, it remained at the bottom, failing to achieve many victories.
After the match, with the help of healing soul masters, everyone in the Heaven Dou Team gradually recovered, but Tang San seemed rather dejected, and there seemed to be a hint of hatred in his eyes.
After the competition, the awards ceremony was held. The ceremony was very grand, with the captains of the top six teams going on stage to participate. The award presenters were Emperor Xueye, Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Salas, the platinum bishop of the Spirit Hall.
The captain and vice-captain of Team Tiandou One are Tang San and Yu Tianheng. The captain and vice-captain of Team Tiandou Two are Yang Podi and Yang Ping'an. The captain and vice-captain of Tianshui Academy are Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu. The other teams each have two outstanding players on the field, who are also basically the two with the highest soul power in their respective teams.
Yang Podi, as the captain of the Tiandou Second Team, was the only person who did not play in the entire qualifier, which even attracted everyone's attention.
Some viewers were even wondering, who exactly is this person? What makes him the captain of the Tian Dou Second Team? You have to know that Yang Ping'an, as the only Soul King in the Tian Dou region during the entire preliminary round, is almost in a class of his own. Whether it is soul power or combat power, he is far superior to others.
Even the captains and vice-captains of the other teams were puzzled. What qualifications did this person have to be ranked ahead of Yang Ping'an? Could it be that his strength was even greater?
It's important to know that in almost every competition, each team rotates its lineup and sets up different lineups depending on the opponent. However, Tian Dou Team 2 uses the same lineup from beginning to end. It seems that they never set up any specific tactics and simply crush their opponents with their overwhelming strength.
Huo Wu, who was more outgoing, quietly asked Yang Ping'an, "Yang Ping'an, you're not the captain of the Heaven Dou Second Team? What kind of strength does your captain have?"
Yang Ping'an just smiled and said, "You'll see later. If my older brother were to play, the game would be over."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of those around seemed to grow even more serious.
Some people at the scene seemed to have heard the news that when Yang Podi joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he had already reached level 35 at the age of twelve. That was seven years ago. Now, seven years later, he is probably at the Soul King level. Is he still the same age?
The Heaven Dou Second Team has been hiding a Soul King all along, so how are the other teams supposed to compete? Could it be that they really came here for the finals?
Many teams have now received the news that the Golden Generation, which the Spirit Hall is currently praising, is gradually coming into view. According to the Spirit Hall, the Golden Generation has three Soul Kings, one at level 51 and two at level 52, and all of its members are above level 45. Their soul power is simply overwhelming.
In the entire Tian Dou region, apart from Tian Dou Team 2, only Tang San's soul power reached level 45. No other team had a soul power level above 45. Apart from Tang San, only Feng Xiaotian reached level 44. Even the highest soul power of other teams was only level 43. The captain's soul power was not as high as that of the ordinary members of the Spirit Hall team.
The current Tian Dou Second Team seems to have the strength to challenge the Spirit Hall team. The Tian Dou Second Team already has two Soul Kings, plus the level 49 peak Dugu Yan, so there will probably be three Soul Kings by the time of the finals.
Unfortunately, the Heaven Dou Second Team still has three Soul Masters, which has drawn much criticism.
Of course, what was surprising was that Yang Tianyue, the Soul Master of the second team, actually broke through to level 39 during the battle against the first team of Tiandou, through fighting against opponents of higher levels and constantly fighting against Yu Tianheng, Tailong and Tang San, which stunned countless people.
As one of the more outstanding members of the Tiandou Second Team, Yang Tianyue's information has gradually become known to everyone. At only thirteen years old, his martial soul is the Soul Breaking Spear, and his innate soul power is level nine. He is already at level thirty-nine now. Considering his age, he can still participate in the next Soul Master Competition, and even the one after that. What level of strength will he reach then?
Currently, Yang Ping'an is known as the number one genius in the entire Tian Dou region, Tang San is known as the second genius, and Yang Tianyue is even known as the third genius. In everyone's eyes, these three can be said to have unlimited potential and are basically potential Title Douluo.
The Heaven Dou Second Team, in particular, stunned everyone. It seemed that those Soul Masters all had the potential to become Title Douluos. Some people even doubted whether Ye Lingling would become a rare support-type Title Douluo, something that only happens once every few hundred or even several thousand years.
Before everyone could react, the awards ceremony had already begun. What was unusual this time was that Emperor Xueye himself was presenting the awards, whereas in the past, it was always the princes or the crown prince who were in charge.
After a passionate speech, the host finally announced, "Next, His Majesty, the Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Platinum Bishop of Salas will personally present the qualification certificates and prize money to the six teams that have entered the qualifying rounds."
The reward for advancing to the qualifiers is a notebook that clearly states the ranking of the advancing teams, along with the names of all team members, and a bonus of 10,000 gold coins.
After the awards ceremony, the three presenters spoke.
The first to speak was, of course, Emperor Xue Ye of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
Emperor Xueye took the microphone and said with a smile, "Children, first of all, congratulations on your successful qualification for the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition."
"As the supreme ruler of the Heaven Dou Empire, I am proud of you. You are all the hope for the future of the empire. As the captains and vice-captains of your respective teams, your strength has played a crucial role in the competition. Therefore, I have decided to confer upon you twelve the title of viscount, and the other participating students from your five academies the title of baron. After you graduate, the doors of the Imperial Household will be open to you at any time. Your fiefdoms will be allocated uniformly after your graduation."
Everyone could see that Emperor Xueye was in high spirits at this moment. After all, the first and second place in the Tiandou region were both from Tiandou Royal Academy (Tiandou Team 1 and Tianshui Academy had the same score, so they were actually tied for second place, but they were ranked third because they lost to Tianshui Academy). This was an unprecedented event, and Tiandou Royal Academy had never achieved such a good result before.
Of course, everyone present was speechless. Yang Podi of Tiandou Team 2 hadn't played a single game in the entire qualifiers, so how did he play such an important role in the match?
However, Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, seemed dissatisfied: "Your Majesty, isn't this inappropriate? There were no noble titles awarded in previous Spirit Master Competitions."
Emperor Xueye also seemed dissatisfied with Salas: "Your Excellency Platinum Bishop, the matter of awarding titles is an internal affair of my Heaven Dou Empire and has nothing to do with the Spirit Hall."
Emperor Xueye continued addressing the crowd: "I hereby make a promise to all participating teams: if any of your teams wins the final competition, the entire team's title will be promoted by one level, and the academy's prefix will be changed to 'Royal,' receiving financial support from the Empire."
Everyone present seemed very interested. After all, according to the empire's regulations, as long as one is a viscount, one will have his own fiefdom, and the fiefdom will be at least a small city. If one wins the final victory and becomes an earl, the reward will be truly great. An earl's territory is very large, and one could even say that he has become a high-ranking official in the entire empire.
At this moment, the Platinum Bishop Salas had a very gloomy face and looked extremely ugly. Ning Fengzhi, on the other hand, maintained a smile throughout, as if he had known about Emperor Xueye's decision all along.
Emperor Xueye seemed to have more to say and continued, "The next promotion competition will be held in the Royal Enclosure. The top three students with the most wins in the promotion competition will be provided with the soul beasts needed for their next promotion by the Empire. You can choose any type of soul beast you like, and the Empire can guarantee any soul beast under 30,000 years old."
When Emperor Xueye finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Yang Ping'an, the only Soul King in the Tiandou region. Although he didn't know how long it would take for Yang Ping'an to advance next time, the 30,000-year time limit seemed to have been specially prepared for him.
Everyone present seemed even more excited. They were all the ones with the highest soul power in their teams, and most of them had reached the Soul Master realm. Their next soul ring was what they needed to break through to the Soul King realm.
In Yang Podi's eyes, and even in the eyes of everyone else, the fifth spirit ring was the most important of all spirit rings, and also the most difficult to choose.
Any Soul Master with even a slight ambition will choose a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring for their fifth Soul Ring. However, given the physical characteristics of a Soul Master, the selection range for a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring is very small, only between ten thousand and twelve thousand years. Even if the Soul Beast's age is high, it won't be much higher. This has led to many people not being able to find a suitable Soul Beast for their fifth Soul Ring.
However, without a ten-thousand-year spirit ring for the fifth spirit ring and without a suitable spirit beast, it is basically impossible to break through to the Title Douluo level, and even breaking through to the Soul Douluo level is very rare.
The rewards from Emperor Xueye are a great temptation for many people, especially Soul Masters who do not have a powerful backer.
Next came the conversation between Salas and Ning Fengzhi, which consisted mostly of attempts to win them over, though not as blatantly as those of Emperor Xue Ye.
Yang Podi watched all this with a cold eye, knowing that the conflict between the two sides was becoming increasingly intense, especially after the Tang Hao incident. Unfortunately, Yang Podi never intended to get involved.
