The next evening, at the Great Spirit Arena of Soto City.
Although they were supposed to rest for three days, seeing Xiao Tian and Sword Douluo discussing swordsmanship and diligently cultivating, Xiao Wu and the others couldn't sit still and wanted to come to the Great Spirit Arena of Soto City earlier.
Yu Xiaogang and Flender naturally agreed that they could register here first.
"Competitions in Soto City are divided into one-on-one, two-on-two, and team-based seven-on-seven. Within these, there are also gambling matches and death matches. Since we are here for experience, we will naturally choose gambling matches."
Yu Xiaogang briefly explained the rules of the Great Spirit Arena to Xiao Tian and the others.
After everyone had completed their registration, they went to a lounge.
Yu Xiaogang then continued, "The graduation requirement for Shrek Academy is to obtain a silver Douluo badge. Initially, all of you will have iron Douluo badges, then bronze Douluo badges after promotion, and finally silver Douluo badges."
Xiao Wu secretly whispered from the side, "Brother, did you expose your spirit power level when you registered?"
Xiao Tian shook his head and showed Xiao Wu his badge. The level printed on it was exactly forty-three, ten levels lower than his original level.
If he had revealed his original fifty-three levels, there would probably be no opponents in Soto City who could match him.
Although fighting with a false level felt somewhat unfair, it was unavoidable.
He genuinely wanted to keep a low profile, but it seemed he couldn't.
Chen Xin also walked over, "Xiao Tian, I've roughly looked around. With your strength, obtaining a silver Douluo badge in a short time is simply too easy. Although team competitions are limited to once a day, one-on-one and two-on-two don't have this restriction."
Flender glanced at Chen Xin, feeling his chest still aching faintly, but he still spoke solemnly, "For two-on-two team-ups, you can decide among yourselves later. Let's first talk about the team competition."
Yu Xiaogang took over and said, "Hmm, the team competition requires seven people, and we have eight here…"
At the end, Yu Xiaogang's gaze fell on Xiao Tian as he said, "Xiao Tian, your current spirit power level is too high. Among your eight, Fatty, Zhuqing, and Rongrong are Spirit Grandmasters, while you are already a Spirit Ancestor. Not only would this greatly increase the difficulty of the team competition, but Soto City probably doesn't even have Spirit Ancestor-level teams, so…"
Because Chen Xin was present, Yu Xiaogang's tone was very sincere; this truly was unavoidable.
Soto City basically had no Spirit Ancestor-level teams, unless they were transferred from other places, but even then, the number would definitely not be high.
"Brother, are you trying to exclude my brother, Grandmaster? If so, I won't participate either!"
Xiao Wu frowned and said, she didn't care about the ridiculous rules Yu Xiaogang was talking about. This was something the Great Spirit Arena needed to resolve, why should they accommodate?
Ning Rongrong also agreed, "Grandmaster, if I remember correctly, the points for winning a team competition are the most among the three types. Isn't your decision a bit unfair to Xiao Tian?"
Yu Xiaogang had long anticipated this situation. Xiao Wu and the others, who had a good relationship with Xiao Tian, would definitely object, but he also had other ideas.
"In that case, let's ask the supervisor of the Great Spirit Arena of Soto City."
Flender noticed Yu Xiaogang's eye signal and then walked out.
Soon after, a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a black robe walked over, smiling at Xiao Tian and his group, "May I ask if you have any questions?"
Yu Xiaogang then briefly explained their team's situation, and Supervisor Ao understood the situation.
He glanced at Xiao Tian, not expecting that this young man had already reached the strength of a Spirit Ancestor.
The astute Supervisor Ao felt that this not only required extreme talent but also must have been guided by an expert behind the scenes. So he smiled and said, "Actually, for team competitions in the Great Spirit Arena, it's not just limited to seven people; there is a substitute slot."
"Oh? A substitute slot? How come I've never heard of it before?"
Flender said somewhat surprisingly.
Could it be that this Supervisor Ao just added it on the spot?
Supervisor Ao nodded as if it were a matter of course, "It does exist, but if your team adds an extra substitute, it means the points gained from winning will need to be shared with the eighth person who didn't play. From the perspective of all teams, this is quite uneconomical, as generally, substitutes are not needed. This isn't the Soul Master Competition, which has a fixed schedule."
However, Supervisor Ao also said with some difficulty, "Currently, we only have Spirit Elder-level teams in Soto City. I hope that if this young man is to participate, he can report to the Great Spirit Arena in advance so that we have more time to prepare…"
The reason Supervisor Ao's tone was so good was not only out of fear of Xiao Tian's background but also because of Chen Xin, who was beside him.
Based on his many years of intuition, the person in front of him was definitely a strong individual!
He exuded an aura of authority without needing to be angry!
Xiao Tian waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, let's do it! Anyway, if I can get points for free without having to exert myself, what's there for me to be unhappy about? But…"
Changing his tone, Xiao Tian's eyes were very serious, "If the team we face is entirely composed of Spirit Elders, then I will participate, Supervisor Ao, this should be fine, right?"
As he spoke, Xiao Tian also subtly exuded an aura of a strong individual, leaving no room for him to refuse.
Supervisor Ao froze for a moment, then reacted, "That is certainly no problem!"
After Supervisor Ao left, Yu Xiaogang finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright, this is actually better now. There are indeed teams in Soto City that are entirely composed of Spirit Elders. We can then arrange tactics accordingly. Now, you all can form your own two-on-two teams."
Xiao Tian: ???
With him there, did they still need tactics?
Wasn't it just a matter of one sword strike?
If one sword strike wasn't enough, then another!
Hehe.
"Brother, let's team up for two-on-two!"
Before anyone else could speak, Xiao Wu had already excitedly pulled Xiao Tian's hand and said.
Ning Rongrong, seeing this, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She also wanted to team up with Xiao Tian.
Although there was a significant gap between her spirit power level and Xiao Tian's, the auxiliary effect of her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit wouldn't decrease because of it!
So, she decided...
"Zhuqing, let's team up!"
She decided that she would still team up with Zhu Zhuqing.
After all, everyone saw the relationship between Xiao Wu and Xiao Tian, and Xiao Tian certainly wouldn't refuse to team up, so there was no need for her to embarrass herself.
