Godwind Academy lost, as expected. Feng Xiaotian was chased by Tom until he was exhausted. Finally, he fell to the ground, and Tom drew a picture of Spike on his face. Afterward, Tom returned the wings to the unconscious Godwind soul master. Tom was petty, that’s true, but Tom had never had a bad heart. He was just mischievous. The qualifiers came to an end. The top five teams went to the VIP platform to receive their qualification certificates and commendations. The Heaven Dou Second Team, led by Shen An, won first place with a perfect record. Originally, each team was only supposed to receive a reward of ten thousand gold soul coins, but Emperor Xue Ye, in order to rope in geniuses, even gave the noble title of Viscount to each captain. Shen An was the most special; the title he was given was actually Count. And this was just the qualifiers. Shen An’s title had actually leaped from a commoner to a Count. There were still the promotion tournament and the finals to come. What kind of reward should be given to Shen An then? Shen An didn’t care about the power of a Count. After all, strength determined everything. But Emperor Xue Ye had actually promised to grant Shen An a fiefdom after the tournament. The territory owned by a Viscount was already equivalent to a small city. The scale of a Count’s territory was even larger. And a huge territory represented population, as well as a massive amount of fame value! At the side, deep in Salas’s eyes, which were like a deep pool, was mockery for Emperor Xue Ye. I laugh at that old fellow Xue Ye for having eyes but no pupils. What’s the use of promising so much? Shen An has long been won over by my Young Master. Oh, right, I almost forgot. My Young Master is your Crown Prince. In the future, your vast family fortune will all belong to our Spirit Hall. Emperor Xue Ye was actually a little strange. In this year’s Soul Master Tournament, Salas had actually not caused any trouble. In previous years, he had been quite a handful. "By the way, the upcoming promotion tournament will be held in the empire’s Royal Hunting Grounds. At that time, besides your five great academies, the ten teams that have advanced from the five great duchies will also come to compete with you." "I hereby wish you all good results in the promotion tournament, so that you can rank among the best when you participate in the finals." "The promotion tournament will be held in a month. Alright, the qualifiers end here." ———— The qualifiers were over. Shen An and his group were holding a celebration banquet. Xue Qinghe, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Tom, and Jerry were all there. The large table was filled with all kinds of delicious food, as well as food that Shen An had redeemed from the system. "Shen An, congratulations. Now, there is no one in the entire Heaven Dou City who does not know your name," a vigorous and powerful voice came. A gray figure flashed before everyone. He looked a little shabby, but Dugu Bo seemed extremely happy. "Senior Dugu," everyone greeted Dugu Bo one after another. Shen An smiled, "Senior Dugu looks very happy." Dugu Bo said smugly, "These past few days, I went to find an old rival of mine. In the past, my poison skills were lacking and I was always suppressed." Xue Qinghe’s expression did not change. There were few secrets in Spirit Hall that she did not know. The so-called old rival was Yue Guan. However, looking at Dugu Bo’s appearance, even if he hadn’t won, he had not been at a disadvantage. This couldn’t help but make Xue Qinghe feel surprised. Dugu Bo was faintly known as the weakest Titled Douluo. How could he possibly beat Yue Guan, whose soul power was as high as level ninety-five and above? Dugu Bo continued to say happily: "But Jerry helped me get cured, so I have no more future troubles. What makes me even happier is that my old rival was actually injured." "This time, he was beaten by me until he was utterly routed. It even gave me the opportunity to break through to level ninety-three. So satisfying!" "And what’s more, I just got back to Heaven Dou City and heard that you won the championship of the qualifiers. I came specially to congratulate you." Dugu Bo put his arm around Shen An’s shoulder without any airs of an expert. For him, who had a solitary personality, Shen An was the benefactor who had saved his whole family, a friend across generations with whom he could talk freely. Of course, he had to share a joyous event like defeating Yue Guan with him. Xue Qinghe was horrified in her heart. Tom and Jerry helped the Poison Douluo, known for his poison, to detoxify? This sounds too much like a fantasy tale. Shen An smiled, "It’s just the championship of the qualifiers. Next, I’m still aiming for the overall championship." As he spoke, Shen An’s heart was filled with incomparable expectation. Just a single qualifier had allowed his fame value to reach a massive seven million. When he won the overall championship, he couldn’t even dare to imagine how happy he would be. What a huge amount of fame value that would be. Dugu Bo sighed, "Shen An, don’t be too optimistic. To be honest, I’m not optimistic about you getting the final championship." Shen An’s eyebrow raised. "Why? Is it because you don’t trust my strength?" At the same time, a wisp of fighting spirit appeared in Shen An’s eyes. With his current situation, fighting in the Soul Master Tournament was like a fully-geared max-level player going to a novice village to beat up babies. There was no challenge. He actually hoped to encounter some powerful opponents. After all, sometimes battle was also a kind of fun. Dugu Bo slowly shook his head. "Strength is one aspect. This year, Spirit Hall has produced some amazingly talented juniors, known as Spirit Hall’s Golden Generation. Even if you face them, your winning rate is at most fifty-fifty." Dugu Bo said with a slightly guilty conscience. He only knew that Shen An had won the championship, but the fifty-fifty was to encourage Shen An. In fact, he thought Shen An had no chance of winning at all. Xue Qinghe sneered lightly in her heart. What Golden Generation? That’s only because she hasn’t stood in the light. Otherwise, she would be the most stunning person in the history of Spirit Hall. Looking at the well-intentioned Dugu Bo, Shen An did not continue to speak. He couldn’t just say that he had been suppressing his strength all along. Saying that out loud would be too much of a boast. Dugu Bo, afraid of discouraging Shen An’s confidence, continued, "Of course, the most crucial thing is that Spirit Hall has taken out three soul bones as the tournament prize." "You know the significance of a soul bone. If you had a soul bone, your strength would definitely go up another level. If they weren’t absolutely sure, why would Spirit Hall take them out?" Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong’s faces were strange. Shen An had given each of them a soul bone, and the one he gave to Zhu Zhuqing was even a massive hundred-thousand-year one. Dugu Bo continued, "Taking a ten-thousand-step back, even if you can win, I don’t recommend you really go up against Spirit Hall." "Because Spirit Hall will definitely try to kill you for these three soul bones. This is the biggest crisis. The contemporary Pontiff Bibi Dong is by no means a merciful person." "She dares!" Xue Qinghe immediately let out a cold shout. The few of them were instantly startled. Shen An’s safety was undoubtedly her reverse scale. Especially if the person doing this might be Bibi Dong. The few of them all looked at the slightly agitated Xue Qinghe. "Ahem, what I mean is, with my Heaven Dou imperial family here, how could Spirit Hall dare to act so boldly? Shen An is my closest friend. I will definitely protect him." Xue Qinghe also realized she had been a bit too agitated just now and immediately explained. Dugu Bo didn’t say much, just sighed at the naivety of the Heaven Dou Crown Prince. How vast was the current Spirit Hall? If they really wanted to go after someone without counting the cost, then it would be difficult for that person to escape, even to the ends of the earth.
