"It's happening again!"
"That's Prince Qinghe!"
Tang San and the others also lifted their heads to observe the spectacle, their expressions odd, especially Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
As Lin Yi had expected, voices soon started buzzing in the group chat.
Number Three: It's this thing again, Lin Yi must be behind this, right?
Number Three: Wait! I see Lin Yi! My god, how did he suddenly become so handsome!
Number Six: What on earth is going on in the continent that I don't know about, what is that in the sky, and why is Prince Qinghe inside it...
At this time, Emperor Xue Ye put down the token, certain that most people on the Tiandou side had seen the Emperor's Order, and then he spoke:
"Citizens of Tiandou, what I am about to say may shock you. I am Xue Ye, the Heaven Dou Sovereign!"
The entire empire fell silent.
All the academies on the Tiandou side also went quiet.
Including the few from Shrek Academy.
Soon, the whole Tiandou Empire was in uproar.
Whether they had seen Emperor Xue Ye or not, they all knew him to be a white-haired, elderly man. So why did he appear younger than his own son all of a sudden?!
But the Emperor's Order could not be fake.
At this moment, Xue Qinghe also began to speak with a smile, "Indeed, I, Xue Qinghe, hereby vouch that this is indeed my father, Emperor Xue Ye."
Hearing Xue Qinghe's confirmation, the atmosphere on the Tiandou side erupted again!
Ma Hongjun covered his head in horror; he had met Emperor Xue Ye once with Flander.
"My god, what exactly is happening?!"
Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong anxiously looked behind Emperor Xue Ye and company. She only saw Gu Rong and Chen Xin, not catching a glimpse of her own father, which made her incredibly anxious.
Emperor Xue Ye revealed a smile, then continued:
"Due to certain reasons, I've reverted to my youthful appearance. Now, thinking about it still feels like a dream… Of course, the reason I'm meeting with everyone in this manner today is to announce an extremely important matter. That is, the rules for the upcoming Soul Master tournament starting from the promotion rounds have changed..."
"Changed??"
"The competition is about to start, and you're changing them now?!"
...
Without a doubt, Emperor Xue Ye's speech left the young Soul Masters on the Tiandou side utterly confused.
At the same moment, Dai Ben also started his "speech."
Unexpectedly, both he and Emperor Xue Ye cunningly only mentioned the changed rules of the Soul Master tournament and did not broadcast Lin Yi's exploits at this time.
Dai Ben had thought a lot just now. If he were to tell them about Lin Yi's treasure-dropping incident now, whether they believed it or not, Soul City would surely be flooded with a large number of curious onlookers!
If they came, then they would definitely believe...
There was still some time until the promotion rounds, and Dai Ben had no intention of sharing Lin Yi with more people; he wanted to seize this time to hoard treasures!
Emperor Xue Ye shared the same thought.
But even without mentioning Lin Yi, just hearing about the new rules left everyone with extremely puzzled expressions.
The promo round teams must increase to fourteen members?!
Yes, the term used by both Sovereigns was "must," or else they would lose the qualification to compete.
And when they heard the rewards for the top ten, they all had even more baffled expressions.
What's this about cash prizes? Gold-tier advanced, intermediate, and beginner rewards, can anyone understand?
Is this thing really that amazing?
The first prize isn't even a soul bone anymore, but three cash prizes... outrageous.
We don't want any cash prizes; we want soul bones!
This was the common sentiment among all the young Soul Masters at that moment.
Dai Mubai frowned and said, "Is this some kind of mistake, canceling the soul bone reward; what's the point of participating in this tournament now?"
Ning Rongrong also started to grumble, "With these changes, what's the point of us fighting tooth and nail to win the preliminaries?"
Emperor Xue Ye spoke calmly, "The rewards for the top ten are as follows, don't rush, there are also rewards for the teams from the eleventh to the last place."
Xiaowu rolled her eyes, "Verbal commendations? We've never even heard of the top ten rewards, and now there are rewards for the worst teams, who would even be interested in those?"
Emperor Xue Ye: "The rewards for placing from the eleventh to the last are three soul bones! That is, as long as you make it into the promotion rounds, every team will receive at least three soul bones as a prize!"
The scene fell silent once again.
Including on the side of the Xingluo Empire.
At this moment, even Tang San lost control of his expression. They stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing at the space channel with the two great emperors.
"Is this for real?!"
"Damn, previously the first prize in the finals was three soul bones, and now even the last place in the promotion round gets three soul bones?!"
Emperor Xue Ye said with a very confident expression, "I know you all have doubts, but I can guarantee with the rest of my life that this is absolutely true!"
"Holy shit!!!!"
"Damn! In that case, we must enter the promotion round!"
"As long as we get into the promotion round, we can enjoy what only the champion teams used to get!"
...
At this instant, all the young Soul Masters were plunged into the surprise of being able to obtain soul bones.
The smile gradually faded from Tang San's face as he suddenly realized something.
If soul bone awards are for places eleven to thirty-three, then doesn't that mean the rewards for the top ten signify something worth more than three soul bones?!
And the three Gold-tier advanced rewards for first place, they must be far more precious than three soul bones!
Could this color be the codename for some kind of treasure?
After Tang San realized this, others also gradually became aware. If the rewards were arranged this way, then surely the top ten rewards had to be even better than soul bones!
And since there were only colors, with no detailed explanations, everyone couldn't help but have a very strong expectation for the top ten rewards.
In the end, the two great emperors concluded the speech.
"So, those who think their team has a chance to get through the preliminaries and enter the finals had better hurry up and find seven special invitees now, because participating teams in the finals must consist of fourteen members!"
"These seven special invitees have no identity requirements, no age requirements, and no strength requirements! Of course, the stronger they are, the greater your chances of getting first place will be!"
At this time, a voice suddenly came from the Tian Dou Competition Area.
"Your Majesty! What's the format of the promotion round? Are there any changes? You haven't mentioned it yet!"
Emperor Xue Ye was about to speak when Lin Yi suddenly said, "The format of the competition will be announced at the beginning of the promotion round. It will be a completely new format, very simple, yet very brutal. In a word, power is paramount."
Lin Yi's voice was gentle, calm, and perhaps it was his handsome appearance that made everyone find his voice very pleasing to the ear. Everyone couldn't help but quiet down and listen intently, and many young girls stared at Lin Yi, completely enamored.
"Who is he? So handsome..."
"Damn, I just saw him! I've been blocked until now, and he's really so handsome!"
"Do I feel like Emperor Xue Ye is changing the rules on his command?"
"What? Then who exactly is he?"
...
While the other side was buzzing with discussion, Lin Yi once again waved his hand, closing all the space channels.
This time, the people of Soul Land had all seen him.
However, they still didn't know what exactly Lin Yi represented.
No matter, everything would be clear during the promotion round.
Like Emperor Xue Ye and Dai Ben, Lin Yi also did not want Soul City to become overcrowded before the promotion round began. Although there would be more injury, and more rewards, it could lead to a loss of order.
A mode of operation needs order to work properly.
The original framework of the Soul Master tournament had already established order, so Lin Yi had no worries about too many people at that time.
At Shrek Academy.
After seeing the space channels in the sky close, Ning Rongrong couldn't wait to speak in the chat group:
Number Three: "Sisters in Soul City, why has Lin Yi suddenly become so handsome, so charming??"
Number Two: "Sorry, it seems Senior Lin Yi doesn't want to reveal too much information before the promotion round starts~"
Number Three: "Tch, stingy... But I really want to go see Soul City now~"
Number Eight: "You're not falling for Lin Yi, are you? (wary)"
Number Three: "What's it to you, tsundere girl."
At that moment, Dai Mubai walked over to Tang San.
"San, what do you think? I reckon we need to seriously consider the matter of the special invitees."
ps. Thanks for the follow.
