"All-heaven Shop's representative team, enter!"
Just as the spectators were discussing animatedly, a vigorous voice suppressed the clamor and floated in the air.
The speaker was a Rank 85 Soul Douluo. He was a Consecrator of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, but today, he was the emcee.
In an instant, everyone's gazes shifted from the main stage to the entrance of the special passageway.
Almost at the same time, the six people who had already taken their seats on the rostrum also turned their heads to look at him.
"The leader should be Boss Chu, right? He's so young. He doesn't look like he's the same age as the other six! "
"Don't you know that once you reach a certain level, you can completely regain your youth? In my opinion, Boss Chu is definitely an old man who's lived for several hundred years. "
"The source of the news was right. All-heaven Shop's team is a bunch of brats. But with this team, it'll definitely be a lot more fun. "
… …
The crowd started discussing again.
"As expected, I can't see through him."
Thousand Daos Liu carefully sized up Chu Bei. His brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but shake his head.
Ever since Chu Bei's team had entered the arena, the happiest team in the VIP stands was the Fire Leopard Sect.
Because the Peak Soul Master Tournament was held every year, the next year's teams would be divided into Rank 1 and Rank 2 teams based on the previous year's rankings.
The previous year's top five teams would be Rank 1 teams, while the bottom six teams would be Rank 2 teams.
In the next year's tournament, Rank 2 teams would be free to choose Rank 1 teams as their first opponents.
Although it was free to choose, there was a hierarchy. The Rank 2 team would be the first to choose.
In previous years' competitions, even if the strongest second-class team chose the weakest first-class team, there was an 80% to 90% chance that the weakest first-class team would be defeated in a single match.
As for the Rank 2 team in the last place, they usually didn't have a choice. They could only choose the strongest Rank 1 team as their opponent.
Because of this, Rank 2 teams didn't even think about entering the second round. Most of the time, they just went through the motions. The highlight of the tournament was always the Rank 1 teams.
However, this year was different.
As an exception, the All-heavens Shop was placed in a first-class team.
Their Fire Leopard Sect just so happened to be in first place among the second rank teams. In other words, they could choose the All-heaven Shop's team to fight in the first round.
With the addition of this group of children, they were confident that they could enter the second round. They didn't need to be eliminated in the first round like in previous years.
After today's top-ranked soul master tournament, they would be burdened with a brand new glory, as they had defeated a Class 1 team.
Even if this first-level team was formed by a group of children.
"Boss Chu, please have a seat!"
Under everyone's gaze, the emcee made an inviting gesture and politely led Chu Bei to the last seat on the rostrum.
Chu Bei nodded at the emcee in response before taking a seat.
"Brother Yu, did you think that the person who saved us back then would reach this stage in just a few days?" In the VIP seats, a middle-aged man looked at the red-robed man beside him and asked.
"What do you think? Who would have thought that he would be stronger than Pope Bibi Dong? "The red-robed man shook his head and sighed.
"Things in this world are truly unpredictable!"
Looking at the figure sitting on the same stage as their sect master, the two of them couldn't help but sigh.
These two people were the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's Ning Feng and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's Yu Heng, whom Chu Bei had saved in the Great Star Dou Forest not long after he came to the Douluo Continent.
"Daddy, I'm here!"
In the VIP seats, Ning Rongrong waved her arms in Ning Fengzhi's direction before she sat down. She cheered loudly, and her little face was filled with excitement.
"Ahem!" Ning Fengzhi looked at Ning Rongrong, who was acting like a little lunatic, and coughed repeatedly to remind her to pay attention to her image.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing also looked at the Star Luo Empire's White Tiger Emperor. They naturally wouldn't lose their composure like Ning Rongrong, and only smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.
"Boss Chu, when I first found out that you were going to let these eight children participate in the top-ranked Soul Master Tournament, I wasn't calm at all. I thought that you would change your mind midway through these seven days, but I didn't think that you would really bring them here. "Ning Fengzhi looked at Chu Bei, and the corner of his mouth curved into a bitter smile.
Chu Bei smiled knowingly and said, "Not only does the All-Heavens Shop want to participate, but they also want to win the championship."
Hearing Chu Bei's words, the corner of Ning Fengzhi's mouth couldn't help but twitch. His expression was as if he was listening to Chu Bei's joke.
"Boss Chu, what's the rank of my son's soul power now?" The Star Luo Empire's White Tiger Emperor asked curiously.
"You'll know during the tournament." Chu Bei smiled indifferently, and pretended to be mysterious.
"Boss Chu was able to defeat the Deep Sea Devilwhale King by himself, so he must have stepped into the Demigod Realm, and is only one step away from the Deity Realm." Thousand Dao Liu's gaze fell on Chu Bei as he spoke indifferently.
"More or less." Chu Bei glanced at Thousand Dao Liu, and said perfunctorily.
Time passed by, minute by minute.
"It's time. I, Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire, represent the Heaven Dou Empire, and represent the organizers of this tournament to announce that this year's top-ranked Soul Master Tournament will now begin!"
A deep and sonorous voice drifted through the air, clearly reaching the ears of everyone in the arena.
Immediately, the arena was filled with thunderous applause, and cheers rose and fell.
When the applause dissipated, Emperor Xue Ye glanced at Chu Bei, and then swept his gaze across everyone in the arena. He continued, "I'm sure all of you have seen that unlike previous years, there's one more first-rank team this year. Boss Chu has built a famous business empire in just a few days, and his abilities are unfathomable. He can even be ranked in the top three of the continent. Next, let's invite Boss Chu to say a few words for this year's tournament. "
"Uh …"
Chu Bei was a little stunned. He didn't expect him to be asked to give a speech in the tournament.
"Then, I hope that all the soul masters who are participating in this tournament, for the sake of the sect, for the sake of the academy, and for your own glory, can unleash your abilities to the fullest."
"Soul masters are the noblest profession on the continent, and every bit of progress you make has to go through many trials and tribulations. But what I want to say is that the sharpness of a sword is forged through hard work, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. All of you who are able to participate in this tournament are clearly the strongest people below Soul Douluo. Even if you lose in the next round, don't be discouraged. Turn this' defeat 'into motivation for you to work hard and move forward! "
When they heard this, the Soul Sages in the VIP seats who were about to participate in the tournament felt their blood boil, and their fighting spirit was ignited.
However, Chu Bei's next sentence made them doubt their lives.
"Even if some of your teams will be suppressed by a bunch of kids in this year's tournament, and the champions will be taken by a bunch of kids, don't think that you're dreaming. There's always someone better than you, and everything is possible! "
After he finished speaking, Chu Bei tidied his clothes and smiled at everyone before returning to his seat.
Clap clap clap!
Instantly, the crowd erupted into applause that was much louder than the Snowy Night Emperor's opening speech.
"Boss Chu can do it! When he started, I was so excited, but I was caught off guard when he changed the topic. "
"Don't take it seriously. Boss Chu was only joking to liven up the atmosphere. Do you really think that a group of children can win against one of the teams? "
"Just as I thought, Boss Chu probably just wants these kids to get to know these Soul Sages as soon as possible so that they can set a goal for themselves."
"Which team do you think will be the champions this year?"
"Nonsense, do you even need to ask? The Martial Soul Hall has been the champions for thirteen consecutive years. This year will be no exception! "
… …
In the spectator's stands, there was no lack of shocked voices amidst the intense clamor.
"All participating teams, please come up!"
As the emcee's majestic voice fell, the 12 teams in the VIP seats quickly appeared on the huge battle stage.
There were six Class 1 teams: Heaven Dou Empire, Star Luo Empire, Martial Soul Hall, Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and All-Heavens Shop.
There were six Class 2 teams: Fire Leopard Sect, Elephant Armor Sect, Purple Star Academy, Radiance Academy, Oakland Academy, and Blazing Academy.
"As the champions of the Class 2 teams, according to the rules, you'll be the first to choose the Class 1 teams." The emcee looked at the eight Soul Sages from the Fire Leopard Sect and said calmly.
"All-Heavens Shop!" As the representative of the Fire Leopard Sect, Wang Shan spoke without hesitation.
"The first match, Fire Leopard Sect versus All-Heavens Shop!" The emcee's expression didn't change at all when he heard Wang Shan's decision. It was as if he had expected it.
The Elephant Armor Sect looked at the Fire Leopard Sect enviously before choosing the Heaven Dou Empire's Class 1 team.
Very quickly, the rest of the teams had their results.
Purple Star Academy versus Star Luo Empire.
Radiance Academy versus Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
Oakland Academy versus Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Blazing Academy versus Martial Soul Hall.
"Are we still going to fight?"
"Listen to the elders. It's our turn. We'll just fight casually and admit defeat after the ceremony."
"Sigh, if only our opponents were the eight kids from All-Heavens Shop. I'm so envious of the Fire Leopard Sect. "
The eight contestants from Blazing Academy looked at each other and spoke with a hint of self-mockery. It was hopeless for them to fight against the most powerful Martial Spirit Palace.
The Fire Leopard Sect and All-Heavens Shop were already in their positions on the large stage.
Compared to the Fire Leopard Sect, All-Heavens Shop's team stood out and attracted a lot of attention.
The tallest of the eight, Dai Mubai, didn't even reach the neck of the shortest Soul Sage from the Fire Leopard Sect. As for the others, there was no need to talk about them.
No matter how one looked at it, one would think that this was a show of eight adults fighting against eight dwarves.
