Furthermore, an aura belonging to a Title Douluo erupted, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Tang San and Xiao Wu already believed it, so they were only slightly shocked before saying, "Congratulations, congratulations on becoming a Title Douluo, Teacher."
"You, you, Xiao Gang, you actually became a Title Douluo?" Flander clutched his chest and took several steps back, as if he had been shocked by the news and suffered internal injuries.
Zhao Wuji's mouth was agape, almost reaching his chest. He never imagined that just eight months ago, he was a useless Great Soul Master who had become a Title Douluo.
Ma Hongjun: "Wow, actually, the Grandmaster actually became a Title Douluo."
Oscar: "Am I dreaming, or is the master dreaming? We're all in the master's dream."
Ning Rongrong: "What are you saying? Master is exceptionally talented. Congratulations on becoming a Title Douluo."
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing snapped out of their daze and hurriedly congratulated the master, knowing that he was a titled Douluo.
It is a top-tier existence on the entire continent. Unlike other titled Douluo, it can be considered a witness to the master's ascension to the top.
"However, these nine spirit rings are all yellow, hundred-year spirit rings. It's still a bit embarrassing to look at them. Does this mean that this is the worst titled Douluo in the history of the continent?"
Ma Hongjun made these inappropriate remarks, and everyone rolled their eyes upon hearing them.
Ignoring Ma Hongjun's words, Liu Erlong grasped Yu Xiaogang's hand with trembling hands: "Xiao, Xiaogang, congratulations on becoming a Title Douluo." As she spoke, tears fell.
Yu Xiaogang grasped Liu Erlong's trembling hand and said softly, "Erlong, I have become a Title Douluo. My promise is made at this moment. Erlong, will you marry me?"
Although Yu Xiaogang didn't offer a ring, flowers, or kneel down, his words were simply plain and unassuming.
This made Liu Erlong even more emotional, with tears and smiles coexisting on her delicate and beautiful face.
"I... I've waited twenty years, and I'm finally going to be your wife. I promise, I'm willing." Liu Erlong said without the slightest hesitation.
Yu Xiaogang was also very excited at this moment. Seeing that Liu Erlong had agreed, he immediately let go of her hands and hugged her directly.
Yu Xiaogang said in an unwavering tone, "This time, no one can stop us. We will kill gods and Buddhas if they stand in our way."
"Clap clap clap clap!" Loud applause rang out as the surrounding crowd raised their hands and clapped enthusiastically.
"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations on your marriage to Vice Dean Liu Erlong!"
"Congratulations to the master and your mother on their happy marriage."
"Congratulations!" everyone cheered and offered their blessings.
Yu Xiaogang: "Alright, after the Soul Master Competition ends, I will take Erlong back to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. The wedding should be held soon."
The Slime Academy members: "Yes."
Yu Xiaogang stared at Tang San and said, "We are almost certain that we will pass the first and second rounds."
"So, in the first round, you need to make it as difficult for your opponent to discover our advantages as possible. Do you understand what I mean?"
Tang San said, "You mean, even though there are seven of us fighting, we should try our best to conceal our strength in the first round."
Yu Xiaogang smiled and nodded, "However, you can't be careless. After all, you might encounter strong opponents from the Star Luo Empire in the first round."
"yes."
After Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong left, the Shrek Seven Devils immediately began cultivating to prepare for the first round of the competition tomorrow.
Liu Erlong dragged Yu Xiaogang all the way to her room: "Xiaogang, how is it?"
Looking at Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong's eyes flickered somewhat. Of course, she knew what Yu Xiaogang had been doing, and Yu Xiaogang had never hidden anything from her.
With a sigh, Yu Xiaogang said, "She's changed. People always change after twenty years. Now she's the Pope."
"She's not the same Bibi Dong she used to be. It seems I really shouldn't have gone looking for her." A hidden pain in his heart made his expression somewhat gloomy.
Liu Erlong: "So, she didn't tell you how to cultivate twin martial souls?"
Yu Xiaogang chuckled self-deprecatingly: "She knew Tang San was my disciple and still sent people to take action, so how could she possibly tell me the method of cultivating twin martial souls?"
"But so what? I've already guessed some of it. Given the chance, as long as I can provoke Bibi Dong into actually making a move, I'll be able to confirm my thoughts."
At this point, Yu Xiaogang took the initiative to embrace Liu Erlong, saying, "Erlong, this is Wuhun City, her territory."
"From now on, you must never stray far from me. I'm afraid she might harm you. With me here, no one can hurt you."
Liu Erlong knew that Yu Xiaogang was capable of protecting her, and her face flushed slightly as she responded.
Looking at Liu Erlong's rosy face, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but smile faintly.
He lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead: "Don't worry, I will always be by your side."
For the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, Wuhun City specially set aside a venue.
This arena is located in the center of Wuhun City, and the huge arena is a hundred meters in diameter. It is entirely constructed of granite.
This enormous arena is reinforced with a large number of soul tools to prevent damage.
According to the information provided by the Spirit Hall, this venue is strong enough to withstand any attack from a Spirit Master below the level of Spirit Emperor without being damaged.
Only a wealthy and powerful organization like the Spirit Hall would do something like this; at least the two great empires wouldn't be willing to expend such enormous resources.
The Spirit Hall has announced in its posted notice 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, which is an unparalleled honor for any Soul Master.
Early in the morning, all the participating academies arrived at the competition venue under the guidance of designated personnel from the Spirit Hall. Each academy had its own dedicated rest area.
As soon as everyone arrived and before they could even settle in, Flander was called away to draw lots.

In the first round, their opponent, Blazing Academy, automatically forfeited. Due to the rules, Blazing Academy received a bye for two rounds, allowing Team Slime to advance to the top ten.
In the third round, Slime Academy will face off against Star Luo Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy, which is the one selected by the Star Luo Empire among the three seeded teams.
This battle also concerns the lives of Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing. As for why, that involves their families, which will not be explained in detail here.
This battle is absolutely crucial and cannot be lost. Therefore, the Slime Seven Monsters appeared on the competition stage with their complete lineup. Since the start of the tournament, the seven of them have never competed together before.
Taking advantage of the Star Luo Royal Team's underestimation of their opponents, the Slime Team unleashed their full power from the moment they entered the arena, ending the battle within minutes and securing victory.
The fourth round of the competition ended without any suspense, with Team Slime emerging victorious. Now only the three strongest teams remain, and their strength is basically intact.
The following day, in front of the Papal Palace, all twenty-one finalists stood quietly in the square, waiting for the final moment to arrive.
The Spirit Hall Academy team, led by Xie Yue, had the most relaxed expressions, but their eyes shone with the light of faith—faith in the Spirit Hall and faith in the Pope.
Shrek Academy maintained the lowest level of discretion, with the seven students lined up in a row, from left to right: Dai Mubai, Tang San, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing.
A group of people walked out from the side door of the Papal Palace. A total of twelve cardinals, whose status was second only to the Platinum Bishop, slowly walked over.
They walked all the way to the entrance of the Papal Palace and stood on either side, six people on each side.
The leader announced loudly, "His Holiness the Pope has arrived."
"Long live! Long live! Long live!" The three shouts echoed throughout the entire Martial Soul City like a landslide and a tsunami.
At this moment, all members of the Spirit Hall knelt on one knee, saying, "Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope."
Behind Bibi Dong followed four people. Three of them wore bright red robes, unlike the all-red robes worn by cardinals.
Their red dresses were inlaid with gold and silver patterns, especially the jewel on their chest that shone with gold and was the size of a baby's fist.
For ordinary people, this formal attire may simply symbolize nobility, but for a Soul Master, it represents the greatest honor.
Only Title Douluo are qualified to wear this red tuxedo. Clearly, these three people are of that status.
Of these three people, only one was someone Yu Xiaogang had met before. That person was Chen Xin, a level 96 Title Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who possessed the title of Sword.
Of the other two, the one on the left was enveloped in an ethereal aura, despite wearing the same clothes. No one could clearly discern his features.
As for the other one, her skin looked as delicate as a baby's, and her alluring appearance gave people a special feeling.
If it weren't for the Adam's apple on his neck, no one would think he was a man. These two are Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
The other person was Ning Fengzhi, an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall.
Dugu Bo was qualified, but he didn't join. He simply stayed quietly at the Slime Academy.
Everyone knelt down, but not a single student from the Slime Academy knelt down.
"How dare you be so disrespectful to His Holiness the Pope!" a cardinal shouted angrily.
Upon seeing this, Bibi Dong raised her hand, and the cardinal immediately shut his mouth, his face filled with awe.
With a faint smile, Bibi Dong said, "So you are Tang San, the disciple of the Grandmaster!"
Tang San was startled, but replied calmly and respectfully, "Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."
Bibi Dong nodded to Tang San, "You're very good. You do indeed have some of your teacher's spirit."
The members of the Spirit Hall Academy team and the Divine Wind Academy team, who were kneeling on the ground, were all taken aback.
After the Pope appeared, the first person to speak to Tang San was someone who seemed to know Tang San's teacher, which was really hard for them to understand.
Immediately, Bibi Dong's gaze swept past Tang San and around, and she waved her scepter slightly: "Rise!" All those who were kneeling on the ground then stood up.
"I see hope in you. Before the Papal Palace, I hope to see all your talents and strength. The ultimate victor will receive the Spirit Hall's greatest reward."
As she spoke, Bibi Dong lightly waved her scepter, and three points of light instantly magnified in front of her, floating in mid-air.
Those were three different things, none of them large, shaped like skeletons: a right arm bone, a skull, and a left leg bone.
They were also flashing with fiery red, light blue, and dark green light respectively. Soul bones, those were indeed three soul bones.
The appearance of the soul bone immediately ignited a frenzy in the eyes of most people present, even Yu Xiaogang, who had already become a Title Douluo, was extremely envious.
You have to understand, this titled Douluo didn't have a single soul bone, no weapon, and even his soul rings were all hundred-year soul rings. He felt that he was somewhat lacking in skill.
However, when he thought about the additional skills of the spirit ring, all his worries and bad feelings disappeared, in Yu Xiaogang's words.
That is, "I'm so strong, who dares to look down on me, Yu Xiaogang? I'll beat them until they submit."
The Ghost Douluo behind Bibi Dong said in a low voice, "The three soul bones are the wisdom skull formed by spiritual condensation, the right arm formed by exploding and burning flames, and the left leg formed by rapid forward movement."
"These three soul bones all came from ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. Among them, the wisdom skull of spiritual condensation came from a soul beast that was over fifty thousand years old."
"It was obtained by the previous Pope himself. It is a top-grade soul bone, second only to external soul bones and the top-grade soul bones produced by 100,000-year-old soul beasts."
The Pope said calmly, "There can only be one victor, and the same goes for the champion. Therefore, these three soul bones will belong to the final champion team."
"I hope that the three colleges that have made it into the top three will give their all to achieve this honor."
