All People Douluo: I start the game directly with the Nine Trials of Sea God

Chapter 117 explains the rules of the Soul Master Competition and Haichen’s thoughts.

"The qualifiers are held simultaneously in the two empires, and each empire has fifty promotion places."

"The two empires add up to a total of one hundred teams that can enter the promotion competition."

"What!! Fifty promotion places for one empire? This, isn't this too much? I heard that there were only fifteen places for the last class..." Some students were surprised.

"This session is different from the last one. In recent years, many young soul masters with good qualifications have appeared on the mainland, and many new academies have been established across the mainland. This is the year with the most participating academies in history!"

"Nearly five hundred colleges are participating! So there are naturally more places." Ouya explained.

Haichen had already expected that so many people from all over the world would flock to Douluo Continent. How could the academy originally accommodate these people?

Many time travelers have established academies through various methods, and local people will also start to run schools to recruit students. Naturally, there will be more high-end academies.

Therefore, the number of places in the Soul Master Competition cannot be the same as before and will inevitably increase.

This year's Soul Master Competition will be very lively, and it will be the pinnacle. I don't know how many talented soul masters and dark horse colleges will appear.

The familiar academy teams in the original book may be completely reshuffled, but it should not affect the powerful enough teams in the Elements Academy.

Haichen is also looking forward to it because in this Soul Master Competition, the top [-] masters on the Heavenly Ranking will probably gather together.

Ouya continued: "Our Tiandou Empire has a total of six qualifier divisions. Since the Tiandou division where we are located has more soul master academies, the quota will be 15, and the other five divisions will have seven places each. A promotion spot."

"That's good. We have 15 places here. With more places, it will be easier to advance!" A member of the second team said happily.

Ouya shook his head and smiled: "Haha, don't be too happy. Although there are many places in the Tiandou division, the overall strength of the Soul Master Academy is much better than other divisions, such as Elephant Armor, Tianshui, Blazing Fire, Divine Wind, and Thunder. These five major element academies are all in our Tiandou division. In fact, the competition is very fierce, so you two teams must not be careless."

"I understand, Teacher Ouya."

"After the second stage of promotion, the competition format will be different. The preliminaries will be conducted as a team, while the promotion will send seven students to compete one by one."

"There was no elimination in previous promotions, it was just a stage to rank the teams before the finals, but! This year is different!"

"Of the fifty teams that entered the promotion stage this year, only 15 can advance to the finals!"

"So in the end, there will still be 15 teams that can enter the finals of the empire." Haichen thought to himself. The national time travel made the Soul Master Competition more intense, but in the end the number of teams in the finals still had no impact.

"In the end, only 33 teams can enter the finals. The recommended teams are our Tiandou team, three teams including Xingluo team and Wuhundian team, and 15 teams from each of the two empires that advance to the finals."

"Conduct the finals."

"The competition system is what I have described above. Do you all understand?" Ouya said.

"I understand, Teacher Ouya." The students responded.

"Then everyone will rest for another 10 minutes and we will start our training today!"

"Wait, Sister Ouya." Haichen hesitated and said suddenly.

"What's wrong, Xiaochen?" Ouya asked.

"Sister Ouya, if our first team wants to give up the quota and choose to start from the qualifiers, can we increase the quota for the finals to 16 teams?"

Everyone turned their attention to Haichen, and Ouya asked: "Xiaochen, do you mean to give up the quota?"

"Not bad!" Haichen nodded.

Ouya thought: "It's not impossible to give up the walk quota, but it's hard to say whether the quota given up by a team can be increased to the promotion quota."

Teams that are recommended usually have the strength to advance to the finals, so if they give up the recommendation, it will be equivalent to making the qualifying and promotion matches more intense and taking up another spot to compete for.

However, if the recommended quota is changed to allow one more promotion quota, there will be no difference.

Tiandou's first team had no impact since the beginning of the qualifiers. It was equivalent to the first team going through the motions.

"Tell me why you want to give up your quota directly." Ouya asked seriously.

"Ah."

Haichen stood up: "First of all, I believe that our first team is strong enough to reach the finals. It doesn't matter whether we get a walk or not."

Direct walks can hide the strength, and the opponent will not be able to make targeted strategic arrangements if they don't understand it. But in fact, the strength of the current Tiandou team is not afraid of being targeted at all.

And after playing a few games in the finals, it was actually exposed.

Keep it or not, in the end there will be no difference when fighting against the Wuhundian team.

Instead of doing this, it is better for everyone to start from the qualifiers and fight against people from various teams. This is a rare opportunity to practice, hone, and fight against different opponents.

Only through constant fighting can we become stronger, have better team awareness, and make it easier for everyone to grow.

After Haichen came up with his idea, all the members of the team agreed.

In fact, they all want to start from the qualifiers. After all, they have to show themselves and play more times. Even several substitutes in the first team may not have a chance to play, but starting from the beginning, they also have the opportunity to play.

Seeing that the team members all agreed, Ouya nodded: "Okay, then I'll ask the dean later. Let's start training first."

"Yes!"

"Hey, Brother Chen, if we really start from the qualifiers, wouldn't we be able to meet Shrek Academy? I really want to experience the feeling of beating the little brat." Ye Qian said enthusiastically. He is also a time traveler who hates Tang San.

"At least we won't meet them in the qualifiers. Don't forget that Shrek is not integrated with Liu Erlong's academy. They are in the Barak Kingdom Division, not our Tiandou Division." Haichen said.

There are four major kingdoms attached to the Tiandou Empire, and there is also a principality second only to the kingdom.

As for the Soul Master Competition, in addition to the Tiandou division, the other five divisions are from these four kingdoms and one principality.

"By the way, by the way, you have been to Shrek Academy before. Do you think it is possible for Shrek Academy to enter the promotion competition now?" Ye Qian asked curiously.

"Haha, it's hard to say, but the Balak division is weak, so it shouldn't be a big problem for Shrek Academy to advance." Haichen thought.

"I hope Shrek Academy can break into the promotion round. I have been in Douluo Continent for so long but I have never been to Tangshan." Ye Qian was looking forward to it.
