There were more than two hundred soul zones in the first round. It was impossible to rely on just the twelve examiners, so they'd found quite a few people to look after each zone. Otherwise, how could the famed third son of the Liang family, Liang Zheng, be a mere host in the Soul Selection Meeting of the Zhili quadrant? It was all because he'd happened to pass by the City of Zhiling and was in the middle of the Gathering. He'd been bored and had taken the initiative to ask for this errand.
What the twelve examiners saw in the end were the names of the two hundred soul zones. They could only take a cursory glance at the process of the first round and didn't understand the details.
But in some zones, they could tell that something was amiss just from the names handed in. For instance, in the forty-seventh zone, there was only one person whose waist tag hadn't been dyed red.
2921, Tianwu Academy, Xu Weifeng.
Ding Wen hadn't seen the student who'd startled the examiners the most after the first round, so he didn't recognize the youth who'd volunteered to fight as Xu Weifeng.
If it was this youth …
Passion? Hot-blooded? Anticipation?
Of course he had both, and to an extreme degree. He was a warmonger through and through. There was only one person left in the forty-seventh zone. It wasn't because the battles had been fierce, but because there was someone in this zone who wouldn't stop until the very last moment.
The later the opponent was, the stronger he would be, and the more excited he would be.
"Be careful of him, he's a madman …" The host of the forty-seventh zone said to the examiner with an ashen face as he handed in the name list. When there were only ten people left and Xu Weifeng still hadn't stopped, the host had gone up to intervene, but Xu Weifeng had immediately viewed him as another opponent. Not only had he no intention of stopping, but he'd been excited by the addition of another strong opponent.
And the result?
The host didn't say. He didn't need to. Xu Weifeng was the only one left in the forty-seventh zone. This was the result.
"It's him …"
Ding Wen sized up Xu Weifeng again. Those who didn't recognize Xu Weifeng quickly learned that he was the one in the forty-seventh zone. Their expressions immediately became solemn.
All of the examiners looked at Ding Wen. Ding Wen nodded slightly.
Thus, the eight of them stepped forward.
Even if it was Qin Sang, who was favored the most, the four examiners would still stand at the four corners. But now. They actually sent out eight examiners at once, standing in eight different directions.
Only Xu Weifeng had been chosen for the soul selection, so it was obvious who this arrangement was for.
Everyone was astonished. Most people only knew about the situation in their Soul Region, so they had no idea who this young man was. So much so that the twelve examiners of the Soul Selection Assembly were on such high alert.
There were sounds of discussion everywhere, but Xu Weifeng, who was standing alone in the circle and surrounded by eight examiners, still had a look of expectation on his face. He eagerly looked at the examiner in charge of selecting souls, waiting for him to choose his opponent.
All the students felt a little uneasy. The stern expressions of the twelve examiners allowed everyone to foresee how terrifying this opponent would be.
In the end, the stream of light still rose. This time, it split into nine and descended, lighting up nine waist tokens in the crowd.
Those who weren't chosen by the flowing light heaved a sigh of relief. Those who were chosen revealed a look of reluctance on their faces.
Xu Weifeng was even more excited on the stage. He took out a large notebook from his bosom and held it in his hand, waiting anxiously.
The crowd didn't move for a long time, and the twelve examiners were anxious. Would they collectively give up like they did when they faced Qin Sang in the last round? If this went on, everyone would avoid the important and dwell on the trivial. Where was the spirit of the competition on the Soul Platform?
Ding Wen frowned, thinking about how to prevent this situation from happening. Finally, someone walked out of the crowd.
He looked hesitant and a little afraid. But he was also a little reluctant. It wasn't that he didn't think of giving up, but Xu Weifeng didn't want to be as famous as Qin Sang in the last round. They couldn't beat Qin Sang. Many people had a clear understanding of themselves, and giving up was also out of helplessness. But the one in front of them. It looked very unusual, but they still didn't have a clear understanding of it. They were reluctant to give up like this.
After all, the students who could stay until the end of the two hundred students were very outstanding. They all had their own pride and confidence, but this kind of ostentation. It wasn't enough to knock them down. They only had doubts in their hearts, so they wanted to see the reactions of the others. When one person walked out, the remaining eight also walked out of the crowd one after another.
They walked towards the center of the Soul Pointing Platform. They tacitly slowed their steps, and then they communicated with each other with their eyes. Although they weren't familiar with each other, and didn't even recognize each other, in this moment, the hearts of the nine people were connected. They walked to the center. Within the large circle formed by the eight examiners, the nine people formed another small circle. Xu Weifeng was in the middle of them. The thoughts of the nine people were as clear as day, but Xu Weifeng didn't seem to be aware of it. He looked at the people in the circle with increasing excitement, and the notebook in his hand was quickly flipped through by him. Just as everyone was on guard and puzzled, he looked towards one of them, and looked at his book as if comparing it.
"Guan Yue of Sourcewind Academy, you are!" Xu Weifeng shouted.
The student called Guan Yue's expression changed: "How did you know?"
"I noticed you a long time ago! Your skills are very good, and your martial skills are superb. That's great! " Xu Weifeng said. That last "that's great" didn't sound like a compliment, but more like an excited sigh. He was happy that his opponent was very strong? This kind of mentality was different from too many students who were becoming more and more utilitarian.
"What do you mean?" Guan Yue was still asking, but Xu Weifeng had already flipped through the notebook and compared it to the next person.
"Zhu Kai of Gold Pole Academy!" He called out another person's name. The expression of the one called Zhu Kai immediately became unnatural.
"What's written in your notebook?" He couldn't help but ask. Everyone could see that Xu Weifeng had found everyone's information from his large notebook.
But Xu Weifeng still didn't answer. He flipped through the notebook, and went to find the next person.
Outside the circle, Lu Ping and Su Tang looked at each other. They had seen Xu Weifeng's large notebook before, and knew what was recorded on it. But that was Xu Weifeng. In their eyes, he was still a weakling who had been robbed of his place, and bullied. But looking at it again, it didn't seem like that at all. And what was recorded in this big book, was it the opponent's intelligence? It didn't seem like it. This notebook seemed to be recording Xu Weifeng's goals.
"Zhou Shi of Bipolar Academy … is amazing!"
"Huang Neng of Wuding Academy!"
"…"
One by one, Xu Weifeng called out the names of the people in the circle. He was very happy about this. Sure enough, he felt that the people who were amazing could all stand to the end in the first round. But the last two students who stood very close to each other, and wore the same clothes, Xu Weifeng couldn't find them no matter how he looked.
He raised his head blankly and looked at the two students wearing the uniform of Amaterasu College. Puzzled, he said, "How did trash get in here?"
