Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

Chapter 171 We only fight for the first place (ask for monthly tickets and subscription)
Inside Qibao College.

There are still two days before the Soul Master Competition. Ke Jie gathered everyone together and prepared to read out the academy's arrangements and the competition regulations.

"Brother Tianchen hasn't come back yet, shall we wait a little longer?" Ning Rongrong clasped her hands together in front of her chest, silently praying in her heart that Ning Tianchen would be able to break through successfully.

No one from the Qibao team had any objection.

Ning Tianchen is not only their captain, but also a member of the team. There is no reason to "abandon" him.

As the dean, Ke Jie has a lot of things to do and cannot wait endlessly.

"Wait for another incense stick of time. If he still doesn't show up, I will tell you first. After that, I will let Teacher Sun communicate with him privately." Ke Jie said.

An incense stick of time passed quietly, and everyone looked towards the gate of the academy, but there was no sign of Ning Tianchen.

Ke Jie flipped open the information in his hand and said, "Okay, let's talk first."

After he finished speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open. "I said, can't you wait for me?"

The person who came was Ning Tianchen.

He did not return to the academy through the main gate, but came in from another side, so no one noticed him.

"Tianchen, have you made a breakthrough?" Feng Xiaotian felt the soul power aura from him and couldn't help but feel happy.

"Brother Tianchen is so awesome." Ning Rongrong was sincerely happy for him. She stood up from her seat and rushed into his arms.

"Haha, great. With two Soul Kings, our Qibao team's hope of winning the championship has increased a little bit." Ke Jie laughed heartily.

Ning Tianchen gently stroked Ning Rongrong's hair and pinned a golden hair accessory on her hair.

Ning Rongrong touched her hair and said, "Brother Tianchen, this is Rongrong's favorite type."

Ning Tianchen smiled gently, "This is a gift for Rongrong."

"So, you've been dawdling for so long, are you going to the city to buy something?" Yudie couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"Ahem." Ke Jie coughed lightly, "Stop for a moment. Wait until I finish what I'm saying. It's not too late for you to do anything you want."

Ning Tianchen and the other person immediately returned to their seats.

Ke Jie first talked about the college’s arrangements.

"During the competition, you don't have to go back to the academy unless there are special circumstances. Teacher Sun has already booked a few rooms for you near the competition venue. After the competition, just go back to the hotel and rest. You don't have to run back and forth and waste your energy."

As he said this, he winked at Sun Buyu.

Sun Buyu understood and handed the key of the hotel room to Ning Tianchen.

"Room arrangements are up to you guys to decide."

"In addition, the academy has arranged two replacements for you. They will come to the conference room to find you later."

Substitutes are generally not allowed to participate in special training for main players, but this is not absolute.

Some teams place great emphasis on their substitutes and will send them into action against specific opponents.

Given the strength of the Qibao Academy team, the role of the substitute players is to replace the main players and compete against some unimportant opponents.

"As the prize for this Soul Master Competition, the Spirit Hall has given out three soul bones. If you can win the championship, you can freely distribute these three soul bones. In addition, the sect master will also give each of you an additional reward of 100,000 gold soul coins, and will take care of all your future soul rings."

"Where is the runner-up?" Chen Huayu asked hurriedly.

"The Spirit Hall dares to offer three soul bones. I think they have extremely high expectations for their team. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to win." Ke Jie glared at him and said unhappily: "The sect and the academy have poured so many resources into you. With your current strength, if you only get the runner-up, are you worthy of the cultivation of the sect and the academy?"

"If I were you, I wouldn't ask such a stupid question. If you don't win the championship, don't run back from Wuhun City and don't ride in the carriage."

Having said that, even if they only got the runner-up, Ning Tianchen and the others were still the pillars of the sect. Ning Fengzhi would not be so stupid as to expel them from the sect just because of a defeat.

Chen Huayu shrank his neck, realizing that he had said the wrong thing and did not dare to look others in the eye.

"That's all for the Academy's arrangements for now. Next, let's talk about the Soul Master Competition."

The Soul Master Competition was held at the Tiandou Soul Fighting Arena. Everyone had participated in the Soul Fighting Arena before and was familiar with the situation there.

"The competition is divided into three rounds. We are not the first team of Tiandou Royal Academy, so we don't have the right to enter the finals. Therefore, we have to participate in both the preliminaries and the promotion rounds."

"In previous years, there were only 29 teams in the preliminaries. This year, including us, there are 30 teams in total. According to the rules, we will have a soul-fighting match with the other 29 teams. In the end, the top five teams will advance to the next round."

"Our goal in the preliminaries is to advance with first place. Can we do it?"

No one was in a hurry to speak.

Feng Xiaotian expressed his thoughts: "Dean, there is nothing wrong in striving for first place. But if other teams fight us hard, we might have to expose some of our tactics. It's unnecessary for a qualifying match."

Ning Tianchen objected, "During the preliminaries, Uncle Ning will be watching us from the podium. As a member of the sect, we cannot embarrass the sect master."

This is just his excuse. After all, there is no word "surrender" in his dictionary.

"That's right. His Majesty will also be present at that time. We will hand in a satisfactory answer to the sect leader, and the sect leader will also be proud of it." Chen Huayu interrupted with a smile.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Ning Fengzhi is old. Ning Fengzhi looks only in his thirties, but in fact, he is close to sixty.

"Okay, stop talking about this nonsense." Ke Jie interrupted everyone's joking and continued, "The promotion match will be held together with other divisions of the empire, a total of fifteen teams will compete in the ring."

"The ranking in the qualifying round is related to the schedule of the finals. If we get first place, we will have a bye in the finals, which will help us observe the situations of other opponents and respond accordingly."

"So, for the sake of tactical initiative, you still have to get first place in the promotion match."

"President Ke, can we defeat seven opponents alone in the qualifying match?" Feng Xiaotian's eyes lit up.

He had long wanted to compete with Ning Tianchen to see how many times he could defeat seven enemies with one.

Ke Jie spread his hands, "Except for the Feng Shui and Fire Three Elements Academy, you can choose any other academy as you like."

These three families are affiliated families of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect after all, there is no need to make them lose face.

After receiving a positive answer, Feng Xiaotian winked at Ning Tianchen.

The latter nodded in agreement.

After explaining the schedule, Ke Jie started talking about the rules of the competition.

The rules of the competition are different from those of the fighting spirits in the great fighting spirit arena.

In the first Soul Master Competition, there were several very strong teams, but they were eliminated because they violated the rules.

Even some teams that have studied the rules in depth can eliminate their opponents without bloodshed.

After explaining the pros and cons, Ke Jie read out each rule carefully and gave a detailed interpretation.
