"But Dean, wouldn't that be a series of round-robin matches? We can't just keep fighting, can we?" someone asked.
"Exactly, that's certainly not possible. The selection competition will last for fifteen days. Each person on the arena can only receive a maximum of five challenges per day. If they are still standing on the arena after five challenges, then they have successfully defended their position for the day.
Only the fourteen people still standing on the arena on the last day can participate in the competition. But there's one strict requirement: those fourteen people must have successfully defended their position on the arena for at least five days."
The last sentence was because Yu Luomian was afraid someone might try to'steal the house' on the last day, resting for the first fourteen days and then challenging. What kind of competition would that be?
Hearing this, everyone quickly nodded. The rules of this selection competition were simple and straightforward. Although challenging for them, it was still feasible.
"Dean, I have a question," Ning Youyou raised her hand.
"Speak," Yu Luomian was somewhat familiar with Ning Youyou, after all, she possessed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit.
He truly wanted to bring her back to the Sect. Perhaps in the future, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could also have many Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Spirits.
Wouldn't that make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School explode?
But generally speaking, they wouldn't do it openly, as that would offend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The strength of their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was quite different.
They couldn't act recklessly.
"What about support system Spirit Masters like us? You can't just exclude support system Spirit Masters, can you?" Ning Youyou asked.
"That's right, Dean, we don't have combat power," someone suddenly echoed.
"Yes, Dean, we also want to participate in the competition."
Yu Luomian nodded: "I've already considered this. There will be a total of fourteen people, and at least three support system Spirit Masters are needed. So, for three arenas, you will compete to see whose support ability is stronger. I've also reserved one spot for a healing system Spirit Master.
So, you only have ten positions to compete for."
Everyone nodded, finding this very reasonable.
The remaining positions would be contested by agility-attack, strong-attack, control, and defense system Spirit Masters.
"Do you have any more questions? If not, we'll start immediately," Yu Luomian looked at everyone.
"No more," Ning Youyou shook her head, a wide smile on her face. She possessed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit; it was impossible for any other support system Spirit to be stronger than her own support, so she was certain to participate in the competition.
Seeing that no one spoke, Yu Luomian directly announced the start of the selection competition.
...
Yu Xiaogang slowly opened his eyes, his consciousness gradually returning.
He looked at Flender standing by the bed, his eyes filled with a mix of grief, indignation, and a rare hint of panic.
"Flender… I really had that card! One hundred thousand gold coins, stored in a Spirit Hall card, but now, it's gone!"
His right hand clutched the bedsheet tightly, his knuckles white from the force. His empty left sleeve hung limply by his side, adding to his disheveled appearance.
Flender sighed and patted his shoulder: "I believe you. How many years have we known each other?"
Flender pushed up his glasses, a glint flashing in the lenses: "The most urgent task is to find out who stole your card."
"Exactly, but how do we start?" Yu Xiaogang was extremely agitated now, unable to calm his mind.
He counted on his fingers, analyzing: "First, who had access to your room? Second, who knew where you hid the money? Third, has anyone suspicious approached you recently?"
Yu Xiaogang frowned: "You should be more familiar with the people who had access to my room. After I woke up, it was only you and Elder Yu Luomian.
You wouldn't steal my things."
"Nonsense, if I knew, I would have taken the card long ago," Flender said, exasperated.
Yu Xiaogang's mouth twitched. That was indeed something Flender would do.
After all, this person loved money.
"What about the second point? This is also the most important question," Flender asked.
Yu Xiaogang shook his head: "Only I knew this. I usually carried that small wooden box with me. You and I have known each other for so many years, and even you didn't know. It's impossible for anyone else to know.
I didn't even tell Little San."
Flender's mouth twitched. This was truly typical of him; he had hidden money for so many years, truly impressive.
"Then it's troublesome. The first two problems haven't been solved, let alone the third, since you weren't even awake before."
"Then you don't know?" Yu Xiaogang asked hopefully.
"Uh… I couldn't take care of you every moment either. Wait… could it be them?" Flender's eyes widened instantly.
"Who?!"
"Uh… Before, you were very dirty, so I hired some aunties to clean you up. Maybe they're the ones who did it. After all, that's one hundred thousand gold coins. Even if they didn't know how much money it was, a card is very easy to take away," Flender said.
"It must be them! Come on, Flender, let's go find the money." Yu Xiaogang shakily got up.
"Are you alright?"
"No problem, the gold coins are important."
Flender gasped inwardly. You were tortured like that by Yu Luomian, and you're still fine? Are you still a Spirit Grandmaster?
Your body is so tough, truly amazing.
"Let's go."
Flender supported Yu Xiaogang, afraid he might accidentally fall and kill himself.
The two arrived at the square and were stunned by the scene there.
"What's going on?" Yu Xiaogang asked.
"I don't know. That seems to be Dai Mubai."
Zhao Wuji slowly came to Flender's side and explained the selection competition.
Yu Xiaogang and Flender immediately felt much better.
"That's great! This way, our Shrek Academy people can also participate in the competition," Flender had great faith in Tang San and the others.
Although their spirit power was quite a bit lower than Yu Tianheng and Jade Heavenheart, it was similar to others, all Spirit Elders.
So, it was still very possible for them to participate in the competition.
As for the most secure one, that was Ning Youyou. At this moment, Ning Youyou, holding her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, stood on the rightmost arena. No support system Spirit Master dared to challenge her.
Thunder Academy had few support system Spirit Masters to begin with, let alone any stronger than Ning Youyou.
So Ning Youyou could easily secure a spot.
On the other side, on another arena.
Dai Mubai stood with his arms crossed, his golden pupils fixed on the young man opposite him.
"Yu Tiankuang, your brother isn't even my match. Just get down."
"Hmph!" Yu Tiankuang was burly, his muscles bulging, his short hair, stiff as steel needles, stood on end, and fine blue-purple electric light coiled around his body.
He grinned, revealing a mouthful of stark white teeth, "I heard your Spirit is a White Tiger? Coincidentally, I love beating up cats!"
"You're asking for death!"
Yu Tiankuang's right arm dragonized, and he slammed a heavy punch towards Dai Mubai's face.
"Second Spirit Ability · White Tiger Shield!"
