Chapter -78 No discussion in deceiving others!
Chapter -78.
Salas's remarks not only sparked the curiosity of the Snowy Night Emperor but also had Ning Fengzhi and the other sect leaders eagerly anticipating his next words. Observing this, Salas promptly removed the white pouch from his waist and stated calmly, "This is a 'Heaven and Earth Storage' bag, with a capacity of 10m, capable of containing living beings. Let's use it as a reward for the promotion match."
Upon seeing the Heaven and Earth Storage bag, Ning Fengzhi and the others nodded in agreement, acknowledging that its worth was adequate to be deemed a prize, particularly since it was merely a promotion match; such fortune had not been seen in previous years.
Next, Ning Fengzhi patted his waist and produced a golden necklace, saying, "This item is nothing extraordinary; it merely aids in calming the mind and enhancing cultivation speed. When utilized at midnight under moonlight, its maximum effect can likely boost cultivation speed by about 0.5 times."
"What? This treasure is considered nothing special? Master Ning, you truly possess a vast fortune." Salas gazed at the golden necklace in Ning Fengzhi's hand for a moment before shaking his head with a smile. A treasure that can improve cultivation speed, regardless of its effectiveness, would undoubtedly draw attention, as cultivation is essential for soul masters, and no one would overlook it.
Soon, the others also presented several valuable treasures, deeming them as prizes for the promotion match. Once all the treasures were submitted to the Snowy Night Emperor, Salas gradually announced the new competition rules: "Since there are 5 teams from Heaven Dou City advancing to the finals, this promotion match will identify the strongest 5 individuals from various academy teams, independent of the basic schedule for advancing to the finals. However, the academy of the individual who earns the title of strongest will be directly included among the 5 teams in the finals. What do you think?"
"Very good, straightforward and clear, and it also highlights the significance of this rule change." The Snowy Night Emperor nodded with a smile while stroking his beard, and Ning Fengzhi and the others did not object, thus finalizing the special new format for this promotion match.
Once the new match format was confirmed, the female host received the notification and then fluttered her white wings, soaring into the air to announce loudly. "Hello everyone, I have exciting news to share."
"In the past, promotion matches required the collective effort of disciples from various academies, but this time the Snowy Night Emperor has issued a new directive, establishing a new promotion match rule that opens a direct spot to the final tournament."
As soon as this was announced, people in the lounges of various academies stood up, intently watching the host in mid-air. The spot for the finals was what they had been striving for all this time, and now that there was a direct pathway, every academy would be very attentive.
The audience in the stands was also extremely enthusiastic; they were there for the thrill, and now with a new competition, they were naturally excited, as something fresh was about to unfold.
After capturing attention, the attractive female host smiled and continued to announce, "According to the new promotion match rules set by the Emperor, each academy can send their strongest participant to compete for the title of 'Strongest in the Academy', and the title holder can lead their academy directly to the finals. Additionally, there are valuable prizes prepared by various sects, such as the Heaven and Earth Storage bag that can hold living beings, and the golden necklace that can enhance cultivation speed, among others."
The new match rules were quite simple, but the uproar they caused was immense. Countless people in the audience stood up simultaneously, cheering loudly for the Emperor's wisdom. The thrilling individual battles were precisely what they wanted to witness.
In the Shrek Academy lounge, Master and Flanders exchanged joyful glances. This individual battle was undoubtedly a significant opportunity; if they won smoothly, they could save several months for cultivation.
Thus, if they entered the finals fully prepared, their chances of winning the championship would certainly improve.
In contrast to these matters, Tang San was particularly interested in the golden necklace that could enhance his cultivation speed. With this item, his soul power would surely advance further before the finals.
"Teacher, let me go."
"I want to participate too," Dai Mubai said, as he also wished to bring glory to Shrek Academy and was very fond of the golden necklace, hoping to win it for himself.
Seeing the eager Tang San and Dai Mubai, Flander was momentarily uncertain about whom to choose. One had a powerful soul ring ability, while the other had the highest soul power level among the students, making it difficult to decide.
At that moment, the Master's voice came from beside him: "Tang San, you go. With your strength, you still have a chance to win the title of 'Strongest in the Academy.'"
"Thank you, teacher."
Tang San nodded excitedly and immediately dashed out of the lounge towards the arena.
Dai Mubai sighed beside him, watching Tang San's departing figure with a hint of envy.
After the announcement of the new competition for advancement, a crowd of people emerged from the entrances of the lounges of various academies, totaling about 40-50, and this was after most teams had been eliminated in the preliminary rounds. One can imagine how rare the tickets for the finals were.
Looking at the many people standing on the main arena, Salas suddenly appeared from the VIP seats and stood in the center of the crowd, stating in a deep voice: "Since we are to select the strongest, and we cannot delay the normal progression of the advancement matches, I hereby announce that the only rule of the new competition is: there are no rules, and no one can die."
"The new competition will adopt a free-for-all mode, and only the last remaining contestant on the main arena will be the strongest in this new competition, earning a direct ticket to the finals. Let's go, young men!"
With an excited smile, Salas raised his hands high and then suddenly swung his arms down, declaring, "New competition, start!" After saying this, he flashed back to the VIP seats to watch the competition.
At that moment, all the spectators in the audience began to shout loudly, with everyone supporting their favorite teams roaring out the names of the teams they loved.
For a moment, the entire competition venue was extraordinarily lively, much more celebratory than any previous match.
On the main arena, the group of disciples from various academies participating in the new competition did not act recklessly. In such a free-for-all, no one wanted to be ambushed while attacking someone else, as losing in that manner would be too frustrating.
Tang San scanned the crowd and suddenly turned his gaze towards the black-robed Ye Chen, revealing a wary expression in his eyes. He knew that Ye Chen was a Soul King at level fifty or above, which was hard to ignore.
Not only him, but even the talents from the Flame Academy, Fire Dance, the Wind Academy, Feng Xiaotian, and the Elephant Armor Sect, Hu Yanli, all focused their attention on Ye Chen, creating a very tense atmosphere.
"Don't look at me like that; we're all good friends. Why don't we eliminate the others first and then sit down to talk slowly?"
Ye Chen's words were shocking, and as soon as he said this, it immediately drew the angry glares of everyone on the arena, as if everyone suddenly had a common target in mind.
Seeing this, Ye Chen laughed loudly at Tang San and the others: "Brothers, let's fight according to the original plan. I'll deal with the people in the eastern area; you can handle the others." After saying this, Ye Chen dashed towards the eastern side of the arena, where there were fewer people, summoned his disguised martial soul, the Abyss Dagger, and began to fight fiercely.
Tang San and the others were left dumbfounded, not knowing what the original plan was, but the remaining talents from various academies didn't care about that. Since they had been forced to divide into camps, they were also very willing to team up to defeat these seemingly strong opponents first, and once the obstacles were cleared, they could then determine their rankings.
Before Tang San and Feng Xiaotian could argue, Ye Chen's early attack led to more than ten people from the northern side of the arena charging towards Tang San, wanting to suppress him together.
The crowd from the west rushed towards Feng Xiaotian alone, while the remaining crowd from the south, which was the largest, surged towards Fire Dance and Hu Yanli. In an instant, the battlefield on the main arena became chaotic, yet it was also orderly, as if everyone had "agreed" on their strategy.
