There was a reception area for the Soul Point Gathering, and it turned out to be a place far away from Zhiling City. Lu Ping and the others initially thought that it was because there were too many people, so they had to find a spacious place. But after they found the place according to the instructions, it was not as noisy as they had imagined. In the middle of the vast wilderness, there was a wooden table. A person sat casually behind the table, and there was a flag beside the table. The weather was good, and there was no wind at all. The flag on the pole drooped lazily, and there seemed to be some words on the flag, but it was rolled up inside, and could not be seen without special eyesight.
"Is it here?" Su Tang was puzzled.
"Let's go and ask." Lu Ping walked forward with Morin on his back. The person sitting behind the table had already seen them.
"Is this the reception area for the Soul Point Gathering?" Lu Ping asked.
The person nodded, and opened the big book on the table, "Soul Point Gathering waist tag."
They took it out, and handed it over together with Morin's. The person looked at Morin on Lu Ping's back, but did not ask anything. He just checked the four waist tags, and then recorded the numbers one by one.
"Why isn't there anyone else?" Siffin asked curiously.
"In the waiting area over there." The person pointed casually, and threw back a registered waist tag.
"That's the waiting area?" The person's direction was not clear at all, but Lu Ping and the others quickly knew where he was referring to. On this piece of wilderness, it was unknown who had gotten the boulders to form a large circle. It turned out that this was the facility of the Soul Picking Assembly. It was quite simple.
"Go to the waiting area and wait!" The person said after registering the four waist tags.
The four people put away the waist tags, and then walked towards the circle made of boulders. They found that there was really an entrance and exit. A wooden board was casually leaning against the boulder, and the words "waiting area" were written crookedly on it.
"This is too …" Siffin couldn't find the words to describe it. In short, it was seriously different from what he had imagined.
Lu Ping had already walked in with Morin and Su Tang on his back. The chatter in the stone circle gradually stopped after they walked in.
There were already quite a number of people in the circle of boulders, at least a hundred, almost two hundred.
There was only a large open space in the circle. Apart from that, there were no other facilities. There were only a few people who had already arrived and were scattered around casually. Apart from that, most of the people were dressed in the same uniform and gathered in the same area. With one look, it was obvious that they were from the same academy.
To be able to draw such a large number of people to the Soul Roll Meeting, it had to be a school in the psyche quadrant. Apart from the Gorge Peak District, all the other districts had their own conventions. Therefore, they wouldn't go so far as to come to the spiritual quadrant to participate in the spiritual quadrant. Those who returned were students who volunteered to participate, and the academy would not stop them. At this moment, the youths scattered in the circle of giant rocks were all of such backgrounds.
As for Lu Ping and the others, they were part of a rare group that had come to participate in a school from another district. However, their group was simply too small, and Zhenfeng College didn't even have a uniform. It was all thanks to Lu Ping carrying Morin that the four of them were able to cause a commotion when they entered. However, no one paid attention to them very quickly. The four of them found a place to rest, and no one knew when they would be leaving.
Just as they were wondering how the meeting would be organized, another three people walked in from the entrance. They were dressed in the same jumble of clothing and didn't draw any attention at first. However, Lu Ping and the others immediately recognized them and looked at each other. It was obvious that there were people in the academy who recognized the newcomers as well. Silence quickly spread again.
"Shujihira?" He walked out from the crowd of students and greeted the three who'd just come in. He looked at the person furthest to the left with an uncertain tone.
"Yes, who are you?" It was Shujihira, Shi Ao, and Wen Yan. Shujihira was famed as a top student in the entire zhiling district. If it wasn't for Qin Sang this year, he would've been the most popular candidate for first place. Even if more people favored Qin Sang now, Shujihira would still be in the top three.
"I'm Lei Hong of Wuding Academy. You don't know me, I met you at the exchange last month," the other said.
"Oh oh, hello." Shujihira nodded in greeting. From time to time, there would be a few exchanges between teachers and students in the zhiling district. Two months ago, Shujihira had indeed participated in one as a student of Amaterasu College. He had no impression of this person who called himself Lei Hong. After all, there would be many teachers and students participating. Shujihira was easily remembered due to his great reputation, but this Lei Hong was obviously not one of them.
"That's all in the past. I've graduated from Amaterasu College and am no longer a student of Amaterasu College." Shujihira immediately said after greeting the other person.
"Graduated?" Lei Hong started, as if he'd heard wrong. The other students from Wuding Academy had the same expression when they heard this.
Most of those attending the Soul Selection Meeting were fourth year students, but there were a few strong third year students as well. In the zhiling district, graduation season was always held after the Soul Selection Meeting. Students would bring their strongest abilities to the meeting to fight for fame, both for themselves and for the school.
It was easy to understand why Shujihira would want to make a name for himself after graduation, but why would Amaterasu College let Shujihira graduate early at this time? They really couldn't figure it out, so they all wore puzzled expressions.
"Is it because of our matter?" Siffin walked over to speak.
It looked like Shujihira wasn't the only one who'd graduated early. Shi Ao and Wen Yan weren't wearing Amaterasu College's uniforms now either?
Siffin asked, but his face was full of shame. It was obvious that he already knew the answer. Shujihira and the other two had directly taken action against the Institute Supervisory Board for him half a month ago. They and Amaterasu College were all in the zhiling district, so they had to answer for this. The four of them had said that they'd graduated, but they'd probably been expelled from the College in reality.
"Eh, you're here too?" Wen Yan didn't look dejected at all from being expelled. Instead, she was pleasantly surprised when she saw Lu Ping and the others.
"Yeah, we're here too." Lu Ping and Su Tang came over to greet them.
"He's not awake yet?" Wen Yan was shocked to see Morin's condition.
"Yeah!" Lu Ping said.
"Then why did you bring him here?"
"What if he wakes up later?" Lu Ping said.
"These are?" Lei Hong from the Wuding College noticed that the few who'd arrived earlier seemed to be familiar with the Tenshou students. He felt that they had some sort of background and wanted to get to know them.
"Zhenfeng College, Lu Ping."
"Su Tang."
"…" Siffin didn't say anything. He was spacing out.
"Zhenfeng College?" Lei Hong's expression changed. The other Wuding College students changed their expressions as well. Lei Hong returned to the circle of Wuding College students and stared at them with the others.
"What's wrong?" Lu Ping didn't understand. He could understand them asking "what's that?" after hearing the name Zhenfeng College. But why did they look like they wanted to avoid it? They had heard of the legend of surpassing the Elite Four, so they should be able to laugh about it. This reaction confused Lu Ping.
"Hehe." Shujihira laughed. "Messing with the Board of Supervisors is a terrible disaster in the eyes of ordinary colleges. Of course, they have to avoid it."
"Oh? Has it spread? "Lu Ping understood.
"Not really. Of course, the details that would damage the reputation of the Board of Supervisors haven't spread. But your mistake and your actions of offending the Board of Supervisors have been made known to many colleges," Shujihira said.
"The Board of Supervisors is taking a stroll?" Lu Ping asked.
"I think so," Shujihira said.
"Okay." Lu Ping nodded, but he didn't say anything else about it.
"I'm sorry to have implicated you." Siffin continued to feel guilty. After all, he had implicated the Tenshou students because he wanted to save him. They hadn't even done anything to the troublemakers, but the other party had already been expelled. He had worked hard for three years to complete the task on Lu Ping, but he had never succeeded. In the end, he had already caused trouble for three people.
"Forget it, it's nothing," Shujihira said.
"It's just a pity for our college. There will probably be two or three less people on the Breakthroughs List," Wen Yan said.
"I think that's what the teacher is upset about," Shi Ao said. Although he had already graduated, his tone was still respectful towards Yunchong. They knew very well that Yunchong had to protect the college, and at the same time, protect them.
"Xia Bojian is going to have the upper hand this time." This was what made Wen Yan depressed.
Although Xia Bojian had many students, Yunchong had the most outstanding student, Shujihira. Now that Shujihira had been ordered to withdraw from the college, and Shi Ao had also joined him, Yunchong's students would definitely be inferior to Xia Bojian's students in the Soul Breakthroughs Meeting. Xia Bojian had been eyeing the position of the dean for a long time. Anything would give him an opportunity to make a fuss. This was what Wen Yan was most worried about.
"Although we have graduated, we are still here, aren't we? Who in Amaterasu College doesn't know who we are? "Shujihira said.
"Well said! Don't let me bump into those guys! "Wen Yan was naturally referring to Xia Bojian's group. Although there was no lack of outstanding students, most of them were still under Wen Yan's control.
"Uh, speaking of this, I have a little doubt." Siffin suddenly said.
"What?" Everyone looked at him.
"Since you have graduated, why are you still allowed to participate in the Soul Breakthroughs Meeting? This Soul Breakthroughs Meeting is not limited to students of the college, right?" Siffin asked seriously.
Everyone was stunned. No one thought that Siffin would actually pay attention to this.
This disciplinary captain of Zhenfeng College was even more entangled with the rules than the former guard captain of Amaterasu College! Shujihira thought.
"This, it is not an important detail. When we registered, our identity was in line. With such a reasonable reason, it is enough. The teacher will have some face there." Knowing that Siffin was serious, Shujihira didn't beat around the bush and explained seriously.
At this moment, the voice of the guide came from the entrance: "Almost everyone, then shall we start?"
As he said, the wooden sign that was casually leaning on the boulder was turned over. Waiting area? One second had already changed the Soul Breakthroughs Meeting.
