"Hahahaha." Chu Min suddenly laughed out. It had been more than twenty years since she had laughed so happily and so openly for so long.
There were two chief inspectors, five commanders, two seriously injured ones, and 50 inspectors who were still lying on the ground, unable to recover from the poison. These were all officials of the Xuan Army Empire. It was not an exaggeration to say that they had caused a great disaster, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a matter of life and death. But Lu Ping and the others, at this time, were still thinking about the first place of the Soul Point Gathering.
Chu Min had never taken this first place seriously, and it was still the same now. That was why she was smiling. She was smiling because Lu Ping and the others had taken the first place so seriously. She was smiling because they had taken the promise they had made with Guo Youdao so seriously. She was smiling because they were still doing something that might not be meaningful at such a critical moment. They were students of Zhai Feng Academy, yet they had such a huge conflict with the Academy Board. Did they really expect the first place to bring anything to Zhai Feng Academy?
But Chu Min did not stop them.
She laughed, not because she thought these youths were funny, she laughed because these youths looked cute to her.
Whether they were silly, stupid, or willful, from these youths, what she saw was the truth, the incomparable truth.
She was willing to see this kind of truth, and liked this kind of truth, so she supported them and did not object. As for what would happen next, she was too lazy to think about it.
On the Soul Point Gathering.
The Soul Ordering Convention had already progressed to the stage where the seating would be officially arranged. The fifty seats on the stage represented the ranking. The most conspicuous seat in the middle, who sat there last, would be the first place of this Soul Point Gathering.
Qin Sang was standing in front of this seat, which had long been wet by the rain. She did not want to sit on it at all. At this time, she was absent-mindedly thinking about things other than the Soul Point Gathering.
Her delay in sitting undoubtedly embarrassed the examiners of the Soul Point Gathering. But this was the Miss of the Qin family. What could they say? They could only pretend that they did not see it, and went to arrange the seats for others.
Wei Tianqi was ranked second on the list. Previously, he had been frightened out of his wits and had even wanted to escape. However, when he saw that Lu Ping and the others were being chased by all the experts from the Institute Council, he quickly calmed down. Although Wei Zhong was dead. There was still no news of Wei Ming, but it seemed that he was no longer in danger. What else could be more important than this? Wei Tianqi's bearing and confidence immediately returned. After easily and beautifully defeating his opponent, he was tentatively ranked second by the examiners.
He saw Qin Sang hesitating in front of her seat. Wei Tianqi smiled, thinking that he understood Qin Sang's predicament. He used the moonlight ability without changing his expression and quickly swept away the water stains on his and Qin Sang's seats.
"Miss Qin, please sit down." He said gracefully. Unexpectedly, Qin Sang turned a deaf ear to him. She still stood in front of her seat, and no one knew where she wanted to look. However, her thoughts could only drift farther than her eyes, so she could not even hear the voice close at hand.
"Miss Qin." Wei Tianqi was embarrassed. He had to raise his voice and call her again.
This time, Qin Sang's thoughts were finally changed. She turned her head and looked at Wei Tianqi with an inquiring look.
"Please sit down." Wei Tianqi tried to forget that he had been ignored before.
"Oh." Qin Sang nodded and then sat down. She did not thank him because she did not notice that the rain on her seat had been removed.
Wei Tianqi was embarrassed again, but he could not say anything more. He had to turn around and sit down. For the examiners of the Soul Point Gathering, Qin Sang finally sat down. Finally, she did not ruin the face of the Soul Point Gathering, which made them feel very gratified. But then. Something that spoiled the mood came again. Xu Weifeng, who was tentatively ranked third, was also disgusted by the wet seat. However, he did not stand in front of the chair in a daze. Instead, he lifted his foot. He stepped on the chair and then squatted on it.
What kind of appearance was this!
The examiners, especially the chief examiner Ding Wen, were all angry. It was not easy to get rid of the plague gods of Zhenfeng College. How could there still be such an eyesore? He who kept company with ink was stained black! This person seemed to be very close to several people of Zhenfeng College, but he also learned to make trouble for them.
Ding Wen was about to go forward and reprimand him, but there was another dispute among the students on the other side.
The current seating order. It was not determined by a two-on-two elimination. Instead, there were only twenty-five duels, and the fifty people were divided into two parts.
The twenty-five people who won naturally occupied the first to the twenty-fifth place, and the twenty-five people who lost were naturally ranked after the twenty-fifth place. As for the specific order, the examiner would make a ranking based on the performance from the beginning of the preliminary round of screening.
At this point, it was almost the same as the previous Soul Point Gathering. The participating students could roughly guess what was going on from the content they had heard. The seating order had not been finalized yet. All the examinees still had a chance to issue a challenge.
And the higher the ranking, the more advantageous it was at this time. Take Qin Sang, who was ranked first, for example. Of course, she did not need to use her opportunity to issue a challenge. She only needed to accept the challenge. And once she carelessly failed in the challenge, she still had a chance to re-challenge and take back her seat. And the lower the ranking, the more they needed to take the initiative to issue a challenge. And there was no need to think about comparing patience. If no one took the initiative to issue a challenge, then according to the order, from the top fifty, the right to issue a challenge would be enforced. In this way, those at the bottom of the ranking would ultimately be more passive.
The examiners had come up with a temporary ranking based on their performances in the previous rounds, and the students were basically convinced by the results. The current dispute was over the fact that Su Tang, Sifan, and Molin were all the victors of the previous rounds. However, they had been chased by the Board of Overseers and were subsequently ignored. Their opponents who had been defeated in the previous rounds were all seated in the top twenty-five seats that only victors were entitled to. This immediately sparked a heated debate. The others were very dissatisfied with these three sitting in the top twenty five just like that. In the end, the Bipolar and Amaterasu students joined forces to argue with the other students, a rare occurrence. The ones Siffin and Morin had defeated were coincidentally the two leading students, Ning Shu and Dao Ran.
"Senior brother Ning Shu was just careless. Otherwise, with his ability, who in the entire psyche quadrant would think that it was an accident if he were in the top ten, much less the top twenty five?" The Bipolar Academy student spoke with conviction.
"Didn't our brother Dao do the same?" Amaterasu College echoed and didn't mention Dao Ran's reputation in detail. After all, his reputation wasn't all that great and couldn't compare to Ning Shu's.
"Humph, you call your loss a fluke? Would you still dare say this if the students of Zhenfeng College were still here? "
"Pfft, what's there to be afraid of?!" The two schools were certain that Zhenfeng College would be destroyed by the Board of Regents, and so they spoke with great confidence.
"Let that kid from Zhenfeng College come again! Watch our brother Dao kill him with one punch! " There was no need to hide anything from the Amaterasu side when it came to bragging. Dao Ran's lackeys waved the flag and cheered for their big brother.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the Soul Pointing Platform suddenly became quiet. The lackey was stunned. Had he really managed to subdue everyone with a casual remark? However, he soon realized that it wasn't the case. Everyone's eyes were fixed on him, but no one was looking at him.
The lackey turned around hurriedly and saw Lu Ping, Su Tang, Siffin, and Morin at the stone staircase of the arena. The four of them, who were just called "that kid" or "that who" and whose names they didn't even bother to mention, walked back to the arena step by step.
There was only the sound of the rain on the arena. Then, there was the sound of water splashing as the four of them stepped on it.
Su Tang walked to Tie Rulin's seat.
Siffin walked to Ning Shu's seat.
Naturally, Mo Lin stood in front of Dao Ran, who was dumbstruck.
"Excuse me, this seat should be mine, right?" Su Tang and Siffin spoke more politely. Tie Rulin and Ning Shu's expressions were a little unnatural, but they quickly moved aside.
As for Morin, he wasn't so nice to Dao Ran. He didn't know that because he was in the state of Soul Severing, but now that he had been taught a lesson by Lu Ping and knew how despicable Dao Ran was. At this moment, he looked at Dao Ran with a face full of disgust. He was too lazy to say much and only said one word, "Get lost!"
The lackey beside Dao Ran who was arguing with him almost rushed forward, but he was held back by Dao Ran and glared at him very sternly.
Then, he quietly got up and walked away. Not only did he not dare to talk back, he didn't even dare to look at Morin's eyes.
What was going on? How could these guys come back? Did the academy's supervisory board let them off? Dao Ran's mind was a mess. When Lu Ping and the others had just escaped and the academy's supervisory board caught up with them, they also chased after them. But they were quickly called back by the examiners. The examiners couldn't bear that everyone was not focused on the Soul Point Assembly again and again.
So after that, the people on the stage didn't know, but they thought that no matter what, Lu Ping and the others couldn't be a match for them. Two chief inspectors, seven commanders, and fifty inspectors lying in ambush below the stage. Not to mention catching a few of them, even if they wanted to catch all of them in one fell swoop, it would probably be somewhat enough.
With such a lineup and such strength, it was unimaginable that Lu Ping and the others could escape. In the end, they really didn't escape. They actually came back and returned to this stage. It seemed that they were going to continue to participate in the Soul Point Assembly?
What was going on? What was going on?
Dao Ran left his seat and didn't look for his seat after the twenty-fifth place. He also didn't care whether the examiners were happy or not. He quickly walked to the edge of the Soul Point Assembly and looked down.
The ground was filled with the inspectors of the academy's supervisory board. It was a ghastly sight. Dao Ran's gaze turned again with trepidation, and then he found something even more horrifying.
Yoo Yang-wen. Looking at the color of his clothes, this was Yoo Yang-wen, right?
The chief inspector of the academy's supervisory board, a famous expert, just stuffed his head into the stone wall of the Soul Point Assembly like this?
Dao Ran was sure that this was definitely not an act of his own will.
Yoo Yang-wen was already so miserable. What about the others?
Dao Ran's gaze turned again and found that there was no Zong Zhenghao or a few commanders. Suddenly, Dao Ran's heart was filled with anticipation.
