Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 1007 Participating in the Qualifying Rounds? A Show of Hands
The power of the Evil Eye Saint King aroused the fear of many people, but for Dai Mubai himself, shining brightly in the preliminary rounds and enjoying the spotlight was an extremely exciting thing.

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, Dai Mubai gradually lost himself, and his fusion with the Evil Eye Saint King increased once again. Even after relinquishing that sacred posture, the golden hair at the back of his head remained white, and two strands of energy, one blue and one red, flowed around his heterochromatic red and blue eyes.

[Excellent, your physical fitness has improved rapidly.]

The voice of the Evil Eye Saint King echoed in Dai Mubai's mind.

[With continued effort, we will surely inherit all of my power! At that time, no one in the world will be our match!]

Dai Mubai roared to the sky, displaying his heroic spirit!

After the preliminary rounds, there was a month of rest. Yu Xiaogang and Flander led the members of the second generation of the Notting team to find Zhou Qing, Tang San and others who were teaching and assigning homework to seventy-two students with Wang Sheng and Xiao Lan.

"Teacher Zhou, I think we should participate in the qualifying rounds."

Yu Xiaogang got straight to the point, "I know that the Red Society and Notting Academy don't really care about nobles, but as teachers, we should also consider the students' future."

If one can excel in the qualifying rounds, they will receive a reward from the Heaven Dou Empire after the finals...
He had a noble status.

This will make the future development of the Red Cross Society much easier.

“You should go to the dean for that,” Zhou Qing said. “Strictly speaking, we are just teachers at Notting College and can’t make that decision.”

Yu Xiaogang didn't answer, he just stared at Zhou Qing and the others.

"However, if you insist on giving me an answer, there is only one: nobles can become members of the Red Society, but members of the Red Society can never become nobles." On matters of principle, Zhou Qing would never compromise.

"They are not yet members of the Workers' and Peasants' Council or the Red Army Association; they are free agents. We will not force them, so let's vote by raising our hands."

However, Zhou Qing was not rigid and let the fourteen members of the Notting team vote for themselves.

Dai Mubai was the first to raise his hand.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun exchanged a glance and then raised their hands as well.

They learned a lot at Notting Academy and understood the concept of class, but they had no ambition to change the world. They only wanted to cross the class and enter the noble class—wasn't the hard work to cultivate and gain power just for enjoyment? Entering the noble class was the easiest choice.

And choosing the Red Society—

I'm a little tired.

It's not only physically exhausting, but also mentally exhausting.

As for the future?

They felt they didn't need to think too much about their lives.

Hu Yanli, Tuoba Wang, Xiang Ba, and Feng Feng did not raise their hands. The fact that these four chose to go to Notting Academy was because their backers were investing in them. How could they possibly go with Dai Mubai and the others?
Of the remaining vice-captains, none of them raised their hands except for Ouyang Sun.

Ouyang Sun raised his hand not to show off in the qualifying rounds, but simply because he was itching to compete against members of various teams.

"Only four people raised their hands, but to participate in the qualifying rounds, at least seven people are needed."

Zhou Qing made the final decision, "Teacher Yu, you should go and discuss it with the dean. If he agrees, it won't matter if the team members disagree, right?"

Helpless, Yu Xiaogang could only go to Notting Academy, but they only asked one question: "Have you looked for Zhou Qing and the others?" "Yes, but they said they wanted to see you, the dean..."

At this point, Yu Xiaogang sighed, "Dean, we're old friends, aren't we? I feel..."

"Hey~"

Dean Notting interrupted Yu Xiaogang and sighed, "It's not that I, as an old friend, don't want to help, but whether or not we participate in the qualifying rounds will not affect our Notting Academy's entry into the finals and our achievement of a good ranking. Rather than exposing too much of our individual strength in the qualifying rounds and letting other teams analyze us, it's better not to participate."

How could he not know what Yu Xiaogang was thinking?
He accepted Dai Mubai as his disciple, hoping that he would perform well in the promotion competition and improve his reputation on the continent.

However, in Dean Notting’s view, as long as Yu Xiaogang works honestly and diligently at Notting College, his past bad reputation will gradually disappear.

When he has students all over the world, even if none of them are his personal disciples but just ordinary students, no one will dare to talk about his dark past anymore. Otherwise, it would be considered that those people are just being petty, and there will definitely be graduating students who will defend Yu Xiaogang.

Why rush things?
"No success?"

As Yu Xiaogang walked out of Dean Notting's room, he saw Flander waiting outside.

"He's in cahoots with Zhou Qing and the others, so how could he possibly agree?"

Yu Xiaogang's clenched fists cracked. "Short-sighted fools! The Red Society's ideology may have some merit, but this is ultimately a world of nobles and Soul Masters!"

Flander patted Yu Xiaogang on the shoulder and said, "Come on, I'll go out with you to clear your head."

"No, I have to find Dai Mubai. The appearance of the Evil Eye Saint King will inevitably attract the attention of the higher-ups of the Heaven Dou Empire. As the rival of the Star Luo Empire, they will definitely be wary of him and may even try to take action against him in secret." Yu Xiaogang had no interest in taking a walk; he only wanted to hold Dai Mubai tightly in his hands.

“You’re just worrying too much. No one would dare to lay a hand on him. Notting Academy is not to be trifled with,” Flander advised. “You should relax. Being tense and irritable will only make your thinking confused. Go for a walk, stroll around Tiandou. Maybe you’ll come up with a solution.”

After pondering for a moment, Yu Xiaogang had to admit that Zhou Qing and the others were exceptionally strong, so he agreed to Flander's suggestion and prepared to go for a walk to relax.

For some reason, Flander led him towards the academy area of ​​Heaven Dou City, arriving at Blue Tyrant Academy, a school that was willing to accept students from commoner families...
···
"Xiao Ao, it seems your teacher prefers your second junior brother."

Oscar and Ma Hongjun, who were hiding nearby, overheard Yu Xiaogang's conversation with Flander. After they left the hotel, Ma Hongjun breathed a sigh of relief and teased Oscar beside him.

"What can I do? I'm not a battle spirit master. Even if I've been trained by Zhou Qing and have gained some combat power, can I really fight with just a sausage spirit by shoving it into the enemy's mouth and suffocating them?"

Oscar rolled his eyes. "My teacher can only rely on Dai Mubai to become famous. Does he expect to rely on me? Before the new classification of Soul Master professions came out, I might have had a chance to become the spiritual leader of a team, but times have changed!"

"Fortunately, times have changed, otherwise, a team led by you, Uncle Sausage, would definitely be full of sleazy and perverted people." Ma Hongjun described a possibility with great seriousness.

"What the hell! Who are you on? Believe me or not, I won't give you Crystal Spirit Sausage anymore!" Oscar threatened.

"Cut~"

Ma Hongjun didn't take it seriously. "I've already received Brother Zhou's help and can control both the Phoenix Yang Fire and the Phoenix Yin Fire. My spirit is no longer tormented. Why would I need your sausages?"

I'm so fed up with this!
"You want to become the God of Cookery in the future? That's hilarious! Which God of Cookery only knows how to make sausages? And they taste awful at that!"

"Asshole! I'm going to fight you!"

Oscar flew into a rage and lunged at Ma Hongjun...
