"Why don't we go find Instructor Xinran? It's not like we can't wait any longer! " Shen Feng was getting anxious. As they were talking, the crowd in front of them opened up a path, revealing a beautiful figure. It was Luo Xinran! She was dragging her beautiful long legs as she walked over with a frown, looking very tired.
Before anyone could ask Luo Xinran, they heard her urgent question from afar: "Did you see Faang Lin? There's no one in his room, there's no one in the Nine Cambered Spirit Valley, there's even no one in the cave! "
Everyone was shocked when they heard that. She went to find Faang Lei, but when they thought carefully, Faang Rou felt that something was wrong. How could there be no one in the cave? Did he come out early? However, Faang Rou quickly ruled out this possibility. If Faang Lei had come out of seclusion, he would have definitely come to find her at the first opportunity! But why isn't Faang Lei in the cave? Could it be that he had some secret that he did not want the other students to know, or that he was about to break through the Fighting Cultivator realm?!
Thinking of this, Faang Rou's heart suddenly felt sweet. She raised her head to look at the anxious Luo Xinran and said, "Teacher, don't worry. Mr Lei must have his reasons for doing this. I believe he will definitely appear.
"Mm, that's fine too!" Although Luo Xinran didn't know why Faang Rou was so sure that Faang Lei would appear, she was also a woman. A woman's intuition told her that Faang Rou and Faang Lei's relationship wasn't ordinary, and as a teacher, she shouldn't display too much affection for the students. In order to prevent everyone from making wild guesses, she quickly went up and organized the team: "Let's go!"
By the time Faang Rou and her entourage arrived at the arena, it was already packed with people. Fortunately, the management of the academy was in place, and the enforcement team was constantly shuttling through the crowd. Under the guidance of the instructor, all the students arrived at their designated positions. Every teacher was looking at the solemn arena with a serious expression, as if they were waiting for an important figure to appear!
At this moment, all the students were in high spirits, their faces flushing red. Clearly, they had been looking forward to this day for a long time! In next to no time, the gazes of the crowd were attracted to the group of elders that appeared on the scene wearing different colored robes. The one leading the group of elders was the Great Elder of Inner College, the Elder of Big Nevus.
After the dozen or so elders sat down at the judges table, the grand elder whispered a few words into the ear of a purple-robed elder. The purple-robed elder immediately walked out and entered the arena.
The so called arena was actually five hills that were not too far away from the competition grounds. Because someone had polished it so evenly, it finally became a towering arena, specially used as a preliminaries for the Inner College selection. After the purple-robed Elder walked onto the stage, he first gave a few simple words of greeting. He spoke of the significance of this selection, the number of participants, and other basic information that he had gathered. However, everyone listened attentively, because the rules of the preliminary heats were the focus of their attention!
"Let me announce the rules of the preliminaries!" The purple-robed elder raised his voice and said in a deep voice. This shout immediately silenced the rowdy crowd. Every single one of them had a solemn and pious look on their faces as they looked at the purple-robed elder with extreme seriousness.
The purple robed elder saw that the competition had calmed down, and after glancing at the audience, he said in a clear voice: "This preliminary round is still an elimination round, as for the specific rules, I believe everyone should know, in short, it's a one on one elimination round, and the victor will advance, and the loser will announce the elimination round on the spot. In order to ensure the safety of the students, the academy had made it a rule that anyone who admitted defeat or fell from the arena would be judged to be done with the competition! If one side gives up or does not appear within a quarter of an hour after the start of the match, they will be eliminated immediately! Everyone, have you heard it clearly?! "
The purple-robed elder then turned around and bowed to the grand elder, as if he was asking for something. After the grand elder nodded heavily, the purple-robed elder turned around and raised his hands to signal for silence.
After thinking for a moment, the purple robed clan elder spoke: "Everyone, quiet down. Next, let me pass on a major decision for the Inner College elders!" The three thousand students instantly quietened down. No one dared to make a sound.
"Within the academy's Inner College, only thirty people will be enrolled every year. In the past, the number of students participating in the tournament would be as many as three thousand, so the academy has decided to change this year's qualification to a recommendation system! First, it was recommended by the one hundred teachers in the outer courtyard. Each teacher could only recommend one person! The victors of these 100 contestants would be qualified to recommend the next contestant in their group! On the other hand, if he loses, it means that the other students in his group will lose their qualifications! "
The purple robed elder's words were like a Fighting Technique of Heaven Stage hitting the crowd, immediately erupting with intense questions and complaints!
"What?" Recommended? I've come to the outer court for three years but I've never heard of this rule! " A student complained.
"Three years is nothing!" I haven't heard of this rule in five years! " Another student complained even louder.
"…" All kinds of complaints, from the instructors to the students, rang in the surroundings like thunder.
"What kind of rules are these? According to the elders' opinions, if I lose and Teacher Xinran sends me up, then you and Big Bro will lose your qualifications!" Shen Feng breathed heavily as he stuck out his tongue and cursed.
"That's right, so no matter what, we must win the first match! The moment we lose, we would have lost the chance to enter the Inner College! " Chong Yuqi looked at the field in a daze and spoke in a deep voice. In his impression, besides Faang Lei, his strength should be the last person among the freshmen to represent Teacher Luo Xinran's group in the challenge!
"Chong Yuqi is right, so we must win the first round. How about this, before Faang Lin arrives, Faang Rou will fight in the first round!" Luo Xinran looked at Zhang Rou with confidence.
"Yes, sir." "Yes!" Faang Rou responded. Chong Yuqi came back to his senses and saw that everyone was confident of Faang Rou's first fight! In fact, his cultivation was not as good as Faang Rou's!
The situation had gone out of control. The purple-robed elder saw the clamoring crowd below and couldn't help but ask doubtfully, "Does anyone have any objections?"
"No!" The crowd replied in unison. Who would dare to question the academy's decision? Wasn't that tantamount to rebelling? At that time, he would not even need to compete before being kicked out!
"Since no one has any objections, I shall now announce the official start of the preliminaries!" Now it was up to the outer courtyard teachers to announce the names of the participants, and then it was up to the participants to draw lots, and then they would pair up one by one, and compete in all five arenas at the same time! The match time was set to be one hour. If the winner wasn't decided, then both contestants would be eliminated! Anyone who wins can immediately enter the name of the recommended student, and so on! "
"Does everyone understand?" The purple-robed elder said in a low voice.
"Understood!" After a response, over a hundred instructors came forward and submitted their names for the class they had nominated. The hundred students were also seated, waiting for the draw to begin a big battle!
