Chapter 409 New Competition System, New Experience
The next day, before dawn, in the gradually thinning night, the gate of Notting City slowly opened, and a carriage drove out of Notting City in a low-key manner.
As soon as it left the Notting City gate, the speed of the carriage suddenly increased by three levels.
"Ha~~~"
Su Yuntao, who was driving, yawned, turned his head and said to the people in the carriage: "I'm not saying, Master Mashunuo, we don't have to be so early, right?"
"It's just a newspaper. It's the same if we leave at dawn and deliver it in the afternoon."
Su Yuntao looked forward with a slouch, as if he hadn't woken up at all.
He really hadn't woken up. He was sleeping well at home with his beloved Sisi. He never expected that Mashunuo would not sleep at night and run downstairs of his house to knock on the door desperately.
A series of fatal knocks directly knocked him off the bed, and he pushed the door open angrily, and then became a working groom.
The kind that didn't even get overtime pay.
"You know nothing!"
Amid Mashunuo's angry curse, a cane flew out from the depths of the carriage and hit Su Yuntao's head accurately.
"This is a newspaper with news about Xiaoyou, so of course Xiaosan must see it first. He gets up early every morning to practice, and it will be too late for us to set off at dawn!"
As the new head of the Wuhun Hall in Notting City, only Mashunuo could make him lose face like this. Su Yuntao shrank his head and replied cautiously, "Oh~".
Then he shook the reins and ran towards the Holy Soul Village desperately in the dense sound of horse hooves.
'Alas~, I still need to train him more. '
Mashunuo sighed and shook his head. He didn't understand why his successor, who was smart and capable, would be a fool like Su Yuntao.
Interpersonal relationships need to be managed and need to go both ways. You can't always rely on Gu You to pull Tang San to come to you. Such a relationship is unhealthy and short-lived.
Notting City is very small, and they who live in Notting City can't give Gu You and Tang San much help. But Gu You and Tang San, they gave Notting City too much help.
Let’s not talk about how Su Yuntao’s actual combat ability became stronger by configuring the right soul skills. Wang Sheng, a soul master with decent talent in the new generation, chose to join the Spirit Hall. It is hard to say that it has nothing to do with Gu You.
Matthew, Su Yuntao, Wang Sheng. The three generations of old, middle-aged and young people made Notting City become the Spirit Hall with the least worries about the future in the vicinity.
Compared with the right successor to the hall master, giving Gu You some books to read is really not a reward.
Delivering the newspaper as soon as possible is the only thing Matthew can do.
Raising the soul guide lamp in his hand, Matthew picked up the new issue of Tiandou Weekly placed beside his legs.
Under the light, the extra-large bold font on the cover is extremely conspicuous.
"The Tiandou Star Contest is confirmed, who will win the first championship? ! 》
《A letter from Xue Qinghe to all citizens》
Since the establishment of the empire, the Tiandou Empire has insisted on helping each other with the Xingluo Empire and the Wuhun Hall, and together they have become an important part of the peace situation on the Douluo Continent and contributed to the peace of the continent.
Today, Haotian Douluo of the Haotian Sect is rampant, disregarding the rare peace situation on the continent and showing off his power over Tiandou City.
In order to further consolidate the current peace situation, we must dare to say no to the abuse of force by the sect forces, promote the spirit of fair competition among soul masters, and carry forward the fine tradition of harmonious coexistence between soul masters and civilians. After friendly consultations, the Tiandou Royal Family and the Tiandou City Wuhun Temple, with the support of the Pope of the Wuhun Temple, decided to jointly host the first "Tiandou Star Contest".
The following is a detailed explanation:
The "Tiandou Star Contest" is a soul master event led by the Tiandou Royal Family, with the Tiandou Royal Academy as the core, in conjunction with the Tiandou City Wuhun Temple and the Tiandou Grand Soul Arena, and inviting many excellent senior soul master academies in Tiandou City, soul masters and civilians to participate and witness together.

8. Competition arrangement
(1) The eight participating teams will be randomly drawn and divided into two groups to fight each other.
Eight to four preliminary rounds, four to two semifinals, two to one finals. The winner will advance to the next round, with a day's rest until the final winner is determined.
(II) Compared with the team competition and individual round-robin competition of the All-Continent Soul Master Competition, after carefully listening to the suggestions of Master Gu You and with the approval of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Special Committee of the Tiandou Star Competition unanimously agreed to adopt a new competition system after three votes.
That is, the "Master Soul Fighting 1.0" rules.
The specific changes are as follows:
1. Each team consists of a leader, a deputy leader, a therapeutic auxiliary team doctor, 14 regular team members, and a substitute player. (The deputy leader can be a team member)
2. The competition is divided into four types, namely: ① one-on-one individual battle, ② two-on-two combination battle, ③ three-on-three team battle, ④ seven-on-seven team battle.
The specific competition order is ①①③①②④.
3. Each of the four types has different accumulated points, including 1 point for one-on-one individual battle, 2 points for two-on-two combination battle, 3 points for three-on-three team battle, and 5 points for seven-on-seven group battle.
The team that first accumulates 7 points is deemed the winner.
4. In principle, the contestants of each team can only appear on the field once in a round of competition.
However, considering the possible differences in the teaching level of different colleges, for fair competition, each team can set up up to two special contestants before each round of competition.
Special contestants can play twice, and other contestants can only play once.
5. Each team must arrange at least one auxiliary spirit master to appear in the three-on-three team battle and the seven-on-seven group battle.
6. One hour before the official start of the game, the team leader or deputy team leader of each college team must personally submit the list of contestants to the special committee for review.
Once the list of contestants is submitted, it cannot be changed.
7. If an unavoidable emergency occurs, resulting in the replacement of the contestants, it must be reported to the special committee immediately.
After the Special Committee discusses and agrees and issues a written notice, the team's substitute players will take the place.
8. The interval between battles is five minutes, and each team can use it to discuss tactics or have the team doctor recover.
9. During the battle, the team leaders and deputy team leaders of the two teams can give verbal instructions under the ring, and other participants are not allowed to interfere with the battle process.
10. Participants can bring a weapon or soul guide (except for storage soul guide) for battle when they enter the stage, but they must report to the Special Committee in advance and show it to the referee after obtaining written consent.
Only after the referee has checked it twice and found no problems can they bring it to the stage to participate in the competition.
IX. Competition regulations and discipline requirements
(I) Qualifications of participants: 18 years old or below, with a student status on the list of seven advanced soul master academies that have successfully registered for the competition, and completed the enrollment registration before September 2643 of the Douluo calendar, and hold a normally effective Wuhun Hall soul master certificate.

(III) Discipline requirements: In order to implement the principle of fairness, justice and openness of the Tiandou Empire, the referee group of the competition is under the responsibility of the Tiandou City Wuhun Temple.
At the same time, the royal family specially invited His Majesty the Poison Douluo of the Tiandou Empire and His Majesty the Snake Spear Douluo of the Wuhun Temple to serve as the chief referee of this competition to ensure that there is no cheating during the competition.
The following are some cheating behaviors:
1. Impersonating a participant.
2. Malicious acts of disability or death
3. Influencing the performance of participants on the field by inducing off-field factors.
4. Eating food made by food-type auxiliary spirit masters before going on the field, and using special drugs that temporarily stimulate potential and increase the spirit power level.
5. Non-playing spirit masters use spirit skills to interfere with opponents or enhance teammates.
6. To be determined.
In the event of the above cheating behaviors, the special committee and the referee group will jointly discuss and make penalties.
In case of suspected cheating other than the above, the special committee and the referee team will jointly discuss and make a penalty.
10. Competition process
In addition to the regular opening and closing sessions, the "Tiandou Star Tournament" will also add a pre-match press conference and a post-match interview session.
Before the game, the team leaders of the two teams must attend the press conference at the same location alone or with a contestant.
After the game, the team leaders of the two teams must lead one to three contestants to be interviewed by reporters.
Do not refuse to violate, otherwise, regardless of the victory or defeat, the qualification will be cancelled on the spot.
(Insert an urgent notice: Tiandou Weekly is recruiting reporters with high salaries. Outstanding and experienced soul masters are preferred. Interested parties please go to the xxxxxxxxxxx location for detailed discussion.)
11. Spectator qualifications
Based on the principle of equal treatment, and the "Tiandou Star Tournament" is a grand event for all Tiandou citizens, this ticket sales will adopt a different form from the past.
Divided into "soul master tickets" and "civilian tickets".
"Soul Master Tickets" account for half of the total number of tickets, and are only available to soul masters with soul power, and are priced at one silver soul coin.
Three-quarters of them are open to the outside world, and the remaining quarter is equally divided between the two schools of the battle. As long as students show relevant certificates, they can get tickets for their own schools for free.
"Civilian Tickets" account for half of the total number of tickets, and are only available to ordinary people without soul power, and are priced at nine copper soul coins.
Resale of tickets is strictly prohibited, and soul power tests will be conducted before entry. Please do not choose to pretend to be ordinary people to save a copper soul coin.
12. Convenience Measures
Considering that some civilians may not understand the soul master profession and demonize the existence of soul masters. At the request of His Highness Xue Qinghe, the "Tiandou Star Contest" will arrange excellent soul masters of soul kings and above as special guests to explain the whole process.
If you are interested in soul masters, please submit your articles to the Tiandou Grand Soul Fighting Field at the front desk, and excellent soul masters will answer your questions on the spot.

15. Others
The final right of interpretation of this event belongs to the Tiandou Royal Family. All teams are requested to remember that friendship comes first and competition comes second, and to show style and level in the competition.
Here, I, Xue Qinghe, would like to express my special thanks to Master Gu You for his strong support for this event, and hope to have a pleasant cooperation next time.
(Signed: Xue Qinghe)
"Ah~"
Reading the full text for the second time, Ma Xiunuo sighed.
I thought that with the "Spiritual Newspaper" as a springboard, and myself and Su Yuntao, Gu You's best choice was to join the Spirit Hall.
But I didn't expect that he would be seduced by Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire, after less than a year in Tiandou City.
Gu You has always been very opinionated, and Xue Qinghe's good reputation has been heard as far away as Notting City. Adding the two together, Mashunuo didn't think that the prince had used some shady and despicable means.
Perhaps, Gu You thought that joining the Empire would be more conducive to the subsequent development than joining the Spirit Hall.
He felt a little pity. If he had known this, he should have told His Majesty Ghost Douluo. If His Majesty Ghost Douluo had personally invited him, Gu You might have been so excited that he agreed to join the Spirit Hall on the spot.
Mashunuo wanted to continue sighing, but today had just begun, and sighing too much was unlucky.
Thinking of this, he swallowed the sigh that almost came out of his mouth and continued to read the newspaper in his hand.
Carefully considering the details in the newspaper, Mashunuo felt that a storm was coming.
Too close, the relationship between the Empire and the Spirit Hall was too close.
Obviously, they only cooperated in soul master subsidies and hunting down fallen people in the past, but now the Spirit Hall intervened in the Empire competition that should have nothing to do with it, and even controlled the important referee group.
All these signs made him feel a little uneasy.
While he was thinking, the carriage continued to run forward. As time went by, the sky began to turn pale.
"Crack~~Crack~~Crack~~~~"
The first ray of sunlight broke through the darkness, and the familiar crowing of a rooster echoed over the Holy Soul Village.
The bright comb and beautiful feathers, although it had lost a wing, the huge rooster standing on the stump was undoubtedly the beast that Gu You raised personally to call the dawn.
Fully resurrected, Grandpa Dawn!
Except for the wings that could not be restored due to the loss of bones, the other injuries left by Tai Long were restored to their original state under the nourishment of vitality.
As strong as Tang Hao, soul bones are also needed as a foundation to restore broken limbs. Chen Xin, the guardian of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, completely lost an arm.
Even Tang San, who was doing the treatment, could not be exempted.
It had been a long time since he had practiced the Purple Extreme Demon Pupil. In the basement specially built for the convenience of assembling hidden weapons, Tang San quietly watched Tai Long, who was supposed to be his subordinate, with a frown.
"Mysterious man whose face cannot be seen clearly?"
