Chapter 115 Seven out of nine reserve teams?
"So."
Seeing that everyone's reactions were similar, Chen Junting also spread his hands and said, "Since everyone doesn't want to fight anymore, let's just throw the problem to the person who asked the question."
As soon as he finished speaking,
"Good boy, so that's what you think."
Old Xuan appeared in front of them, chewing on a chicken leg. Behind the mess of hair, bright eyes were staring at Chen Junting.
Then, without waiting for Chen Junting to respond, Mr. Xuan gave an order to the teacher on the side, "Take all of your eliminated students back. Just keep the nine of them."
Wang Yan and other teachers rushed quickly, but except for a few people, the others still froze in place, with expressions of dissatisfaction on their faces.
It’s not that they were dissatisfied with being quickly eliminated because they hadn’t yet shown their strength. After all, those guys on the stage are all monsters among monsters. They are either soul sect cultivators, absorbing soul rings or possessing top-level martial souls. Even if they lose now, they are convinced of their defeat. It's just that the sloppy old man in front of him clearly said that he would only leave seven people at the beginning, but now he leaves nine people.
This is simply unfair to them. If there were only one or two more left, they might also be one of them.
Mr. Xuan glanced at the core disciples who refused to leave and saw what they were thinking at a glance. He snorted, "I keep what I say. Seven people are seven people. But how do I choose from the nine next?" If there are seven, then it’s none of your business. Does any of you still have any questions? Ask now to avoid saying I’m partial behind your back.”
As he spoke, he took a sip of wine and stopped paying attention to them. Instead, he looked at the nine people in Chenjun Pavilion, as if thinking secretly.
But after a while, I got an idea.
As the eliminated students retreated, soon only Xuan Lao and Chen Junting were left in the fighting arena.
There seemed to be some silence in the atmosphere, which made the other eight people, except Chen Junting, a little uneasy. Even Ning Tian's aqua blue eyes showed a hint of worry.
After all, to a certain extent, their actions could be considered a trick on the elder of Poseidon Pavilion. But as if they had to do it again, they would probably make the same choice as now.
At this time, Chen Junting took Ning Tian's catkins.
A few gentle squeezes seemed to reassure her.
"Ahem——"
Seeing that these little guys were not frightened by his silence, but were actually acting affectionate in front of this single old man, Mr. Xuan took a sip of wine and coughed a few times.
"You must have just heard what I said. Of the nine of you, I can only choose seven. And these seven will participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. But you are not the official selected team members. It’s the reserve team. In other words, the seven people selected are just substitutes.”
Hearing this, everyone was not disappointed at first, but happy.
Because the purpose of selecting seven people in this trial was exactly the same as Chen Junting and Ning Tian guessed three days ago!
Noting the expressions of the nine people, Mr. Xuan frowned slightly.
From the looks of it, it doesn't look like a surprise.
"Have you known this for a long time?"
Just when he guessed which person from the inner court had revealed the news, everyone quickly said that someone had guessed it.
These words made Mr. Xuan's brows relax slightly. But after taking a bite of the roast chicken on his hand, he muttered, "It must be that brat Wang Yan, otherwise who would have guessed the news."
This made Wang Yan, who was walking back, couldn't help but sneeze. Little did he know, he had already taken the blame.
"Now, I will tell you about the seven people who will be selected." Mr. Xuan took another sip of wine and started talking about the business, "But before that, I would like to make a statement in advance. The two people who were not selected in the end were not Not excellent. It’s just that in terms of team composition, they are not suitable.”
"you you you…"
Stretch out your fingers and come out one by one. After his fingers came down seven times, only He Caitou and Wu Feng were not selected.
The feeling of loss suddenly appeared on the surface.
Mr. Xuan glanced at them, and his eyes especially stayed on He Caitou for a moment. In fact, from the beginning, his plan was to eliminate Wang Dong and Wu Feng, just so that the team could maintain a combination of two strong attacks, one defense, one agility attack, one control, one support, and one soul guide. Also, among these nine people, except for Huo Yuhao, only their cultivation level is the lowest. After five years, their cultivation will obviously not have the advantage of others.
But later, he remembered that the girl who was disguised as a man seemed to have a soul fusion skill with Huo Yuhao, so he hesitated for a moment and changed the eliminated candidate from Wang Dong to He Caitou.
As for Mr. Mu's talk about developing the soul guidance system some time ago... Among these seven people, Huo Yuhao is still the core disciple of the soul guidance system. So, the seven-member team was selected.
"With senior brother."
Huo Yuhao walked to He Caitou and was about to comfort him. But he was stopped by He Caitou who pretended not to care, "It's okay Yuhao, you can be considered as giving our Soul Guidance Department some credit by joining."
At this time, Chen Junting and Ning Tian were also persuading Mr. Xuan. "Mr. Xuan, can't you always be accommodating?"
"Can this matter be accommodated?"
Without even thinking about it, Mr. Xuan waved his hand and refused.
Perhaps it was because he was in a good mood at the moment, and because they were from the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, Mr. Xuan was able to explain himself.
"Although you are a reserve team, as long as no accident occurs, you will be the main team for the next competition, and you will have the title of Shrek Seven Monsters of this generation. How can it be called Shrek Seven Monsters, but in fact you have Something about nine people.”
"Then what if it's just a rotation? If something unexpected happens and the main team is unable to play, and the reserve team is not strong enough, then the rotation members will be just right. And the rotation members are not included in your commitment. After all, among the seven people, the members who are not eliminated will get some rewards, right?"
"Otherwise, if we fail in the competition, then the Sun and Moon Empire may not be sure to start another war."
When Mr. Xuan heard this, his blurred eyes suddenly widened!
You kid, you not only said everything I wanted to say.
And I also found an excuse for my previous promise.
but…
That does make sense.
Seeing that Mr. Xuan had no intention of refuting, Chen Junting also struck while the iron was hot, and even revealed what happened ten thousand years ago.
"Besides. Ten thousand years ago, when the first generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters participated in the Soul Master Competition, weren't there four soul masters with similar cultivation levels to them?"
"You kid also knows this."
Mr. Xuan was surprised at first, and then murmured for a while.
"The Nine Treasure Glazed Sect has quite complete records."
Chen Junting directly accepted the explanation given by Mr. Keep a clear record of the competition.”
Then he asked.
"Mr. Xuan, what do you think about this?"
Glancing at Chen Junting, Mr. Xuan was in a tangle and waved his hand impatiently. "It doesn't matter what I said."
Then, he said to everyone: "Okay, okay, all nine of you will keep the matter about the reserve team a secret. Anyone who leaks it will be deprived of the qualification to participate and the core disciple status will be revoked."
"As for what your kid said..."
Looking at Chen Junting, he took a sip of wine and thought for a moment.
"In this way, according to the regulations, you will have to practice with me for one day every week from now on. When the first time comes, you will all come first. I will tell you the final decision then."
"By the way, when the time is right, the members of the main team will also practice with you. But I think you all should know them. After all, the main team has not changed much."
When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled.
They didn't know many seniors from the inner college, and the seven seniors from the inner college they met during the class promotion assessment were exactly seven.
Chen Junting raised his head and met Mr. Xuan's eyes.
Very good, he saw the amusement in Mr. Xuan's eyes.
