Douluo: System Cross-Dressing as Qian Renxue Empress Consort

Due to the forfeit of three teams, the fourth round of the finals was directly canceled, and there was a three-day rest and adjustment period between the fourth and fifth rounds.

As a result, the three teams advancing to the fifth round enjoyed a "long weekend" of five days.

During these five days, Spirit Hall had already prepared new accommodations for Qian Yu Academy and Shrek Academy.

The atmosphere grew quiet.

In the final fifth round, only three teams remained, and the others no longer had the right to observe the match.

Only a few, including Dugu Yan, were allowed to stay and watch the match, thanks to their connections.

...

Five days passed quickly.

On the morning of the final round, the three teams stood quietly outside the Supreme Pontiff's Hall, awaiting the event.

The teachers and substitute team members of the three academies were not allowed to stand on the plaza and had to wait on the outskirts.

Only the twenty-one team members stood on the plaza, enjoying this hard-earned glory.

Except for Li Yu, the others had solemn expressions.

Clearly, the occasion and the final battle for the championship made everyone feel tense.

Members of Spirit Hall Academy, typically not showing such expressions, also seemed wary.

Li Yu and Tang San displayed abilities, and the domains both of them possessed, had made them wary.

The people from Shrek Academy also had serious expressions.

Although Tang San strength was exceptional, the other six were holding them back.

Even Tang San himself didn't dare to relax.

Compared to them, the members of Qian Yu Academy were much more at ease.

Li Yu was completely unconcerned. To him, this felt no different from playing house.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, who were aware of Li Yu strength, knew that he had been able to battle with Title Douluos months ago, so they weren't as nervous.

At this moment, their solemn expressions were more due to the atmosphere in front of the Supreme Pontiff's Hall.

Wang Changzhi and the other three members, though not fully aware of the situation, could tell from Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu attitudes that they had immense confidence in Li Yu.

Thus, they weren't as nervous as the other teams.

Tap, tap, tap...

Twelve red-clad bishops walked out from the side door of the Supreme Pontiff's Hall and stood in two rows in front of the hall, six on each side.

The leader of the bishops loudly proclaimed, "Her Majesty the Supreme Pontiff has arrived!"

"Long live! Long live! Long live!" Three loud shouts echoed across the entire Spirit Hall city, like a mountain roar.

The members of Spirit Hall and the spectators looked at each other with strange expressions but didn't take any action. They only looked toward the doors of the Supreme Pontiff's Hall.

Bibi Dong, wearing a brilliant golden dress, a purple and gold crown, and holding a scepter, stepped out of the Supreme Pontiff's Hall with a solemn expression.

Today Bibi Dong was different from the previous two appearances.

Not only was she dressed more magnificently, but the aura she exuded seemed much more regal.

"Pay your respects to Her Majesty the Supreme Pontiff!" All members of Spirit Hall knelt on one knee at this moment.

Afterward, four figures walked out from the main doors of the Supreme Pontiff's Hall.

They were Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Sword Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.

As a 96th-level Super Douluo, Dugu Bo also had the qualification to walk out of the hall.

However, the old man held grudges with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, and right now, he was chatting casually with Qian Renxue and the others from Qian Yu Academy, showing no interest in the so-called honor.

Meanwhile, fourteen people, the representatives of Qian Yu Academy and Shrek Academy, did not kneel.

On Qian Yu Academy side, it was Li Yu will that held sway, and on Shrek Academy side, it was the will of Tang San and Dai Mubai.

Thus, all the members of Spirit Hall, as well as the spectators, turned their attention to these fourteen people.

"Impertinent! How dare you disrespect Her Majesty the Supreme Pontiff!" The red-clad bishops, who had been submissive moments ago, now rebuked them angrily.

A heavy, suffocating aura immediately descended upon everyone.

Li Yu remained unfazed, while the others struggled to bear it.

"Hmm?" Bibi Dong gaze fell on Li Yu, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

The pressure just now contained some of her hidden force, but Li Yu remained calm and unaffected.

"It seems there is still hidden power?" Bibi Dong thought to herself.

She then looked at the members of Spirit Hall with a smile, saying, "Alright, you are all the proud children of this generation. A little arrogance is normal. Who knows, you may even become comrades in the future. No need to be so serious."

She paused and then continued, "At ease."

Only then did everyone in Spirit Hall retract their gazes, standing up and saying in unison, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Bibi Dong then spoke some encouraging words, and finally, the referee read out the rules for the fifth round.

In the fifth round of the finals, the three teams would compete in a round-robin format to determine the strongest individual team. Afterward, the remaining two teams would fight against each other, and the winner would then compete with the first team to decide the champion.

The individual elimination matches for the three teams would be conducted simultaneously.

The teams would send out members in turn, and the matchups would be decided by drawing lots. The winner of the first match would then fight against the third person.

The remaining two teams would then send out their second members, and the matchups would again be determined by drawing lots. This process would continue.

In the end, whichever team's member remained standing would have the first spot.

The remaining two teams would then compete for the second spot.

"I hope that today, you will all display your full talent and strength. The ultimate winner will receive the final reward prepared by Spirit Hall!"

Finally, Bibi Dong words drew attention again.

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and three points of light appeared before her, floating in midair.

Three Soul Bones.

The right arm bone, head bone, and left leg bone.

The atmosphere in the hall immediately became heated, as everyone's eyes were locked on these three Soul Bones.

Even the Title Douluos in the crowd were staring.

Not everyone, like Li Yu, had so many Soul Bones.

Out of all the people present, only a few had one or two Soul Bones.

"Today, the top two will be decided in the morning, and in the afternoon, the championship will be contested," Bibi Dong said faintly. "Now, you may send out your first team member."

With those words, all three teams left one team member on the stage while the rest returned to their respective resting areas.

Although the rules for the fifth round had been read again, everyone already knew them, so the order in which the members would appear had already been decided.

However, to everyone's surprise,

Shrek Academy and Spirit Hall Academy sent out normal members first, not their top-tier forces in the first round.

On the other hand, Qian Yu Academy left the smiling Li Yu on the stage.

What strategy is this?
