"There are more than 1,000 peaks on the Changbai Mountain Range, but in addition to the main peak, there is also an extremely tall peak, and every time you fight, you will be on the peak. As for the respective opponents, they are selected by the academy and our side, how about it? We use the elimination system, round by round, until the winner is finally decided. ”

"And what about the order in which the players are chosen?"

"It's all casual, to put it bluntly, this battle is all about luck. ”

This method is actually not beneficial to the five major forces of the old batch, who originally wanted to leave the strongest combat power to Ah Candle. In this way, the strongest fighter can be saved for the next round. Before the finals, the strongest combat power will not fight against Xia Xiao. The latter is undoubtedly the strongest on the side of the academy, just by looking at his specialness. But they can't influence the will of the academy, let alone arrange the schedule directly, so they can't win and are easy to be criticized, that's all.

The five major forces of the old batch also thought twice before making such a decision, but Sun Zhonglei thought for a moment, and when he looked at his students, a voice came into their heads.

"If you want them to stop fighting the idea of the academy, the only way to convince them is to make them convinced, so I'm going to put out the order of playing, how about it?"

The order of discharge is equal to giving the other party enough space and opportunity to prepare, and it is also equal to the side where the academy will fall into passivity or even calculation. But as Sun Zhonglei said, if you want these old guys to stop fighting the idea of the academy and maintain respect for themselves, something must be done.

The first speech of the Mandate of Heaven, although he did not speak, the idea appeared in everyone's ears like Sun Zhonglei's voice.

"Yes, it's better for them to use all the five elements of restraint, otherwise they will always make excuses if they lose. ”

"Even though we will have someone eliminated and the other party will be able to keep their hole cards until the last surprise, I don't think it will be impossible. What they want is a surprise, and most of them are forced to choose this way. If they don't speak, we'll speak for them, but if they talk about it later......"

Xia Xiao paused, a wicked smile on his face.

"This time, they will not dare to say it again in the future. ”

"Don't be too ruthless, otherwise you will end up and there will be accidents in the future. ”

"Just do it in moderation, there's no need to tear your face on someone else's turf. ”

Long Suihong and Wang Ling also expressed their opinions, and the rest of them said a few words, all of which agreed with Sun Zhonglei's opinion. So, the latter said enough shocking words in front of everyone.

"We are ready to play one by one according to the list on the original letter, and as for the seniors, we can adjust our team appropriately. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall master Ren and the four leaders were shocked, this is not asking for hardship? They didn't want to do this, they were terrible about the oppression of public opinion, so they didn't have the face to bring it up, but the academy was like this, they were not welcome. But Sun Zhonglei is also conditional, after he finished the above sentence, no one has spoken, he said:

"If we lose, we will have a mandatory limit on the number of apprentices in the future. If we win, please look for your own problems. The decline of the old batch of five forces is not that the academy has robbed the source of students, because we have never asked other countries to provide us with juniors, but the academy itself is famous. As for why the reputation of the academy is so big, it is because we have cultivated a strong enough junior to shake the Great Wilderness, but the seniors have nothing to show for the disciples who can make a name for themselves in the Great Wilderness. ”

This exposes the facts, and it is a show of softness. The implication is that if we lose, we will rein in and let you have some students. If we win, we won't change anything, you can do it yourself.

Either way, it actually has no impact on the academy, but it has far-reaching implications for the alliance formed by the old group of five major forces. Therefore, even if they heard that the academy was overly arrogant, they could not refute it, only nodded. Even if the five parties form an alliance and fight against the academy together, they will not be able to get any benefits!

"It seems that the people of the academy are not only scholars, but also people in the rivers and lakes, this heroic spirit my old Yuan likes, not picking and searching, dodging and dodging, is what we big forces should look like. I can't represent the intentions of the Quartet, but I, Strange Man Ling, took the lead in saying that if our alliance loses this battle, we will definitely not trouble your academy in the future, let alone spread remarks unfavorable to the academy. ”

Yuan Ling said this, and the other four people also had to express their positions. However, the academy gave in, and it was too much for them to say anything else.

"That's it, we'll start the first game tomorrow morning. We'll give you the list in three hours, okay?"

Three hours is enough for the hall master to analyze how to arrange the order. But since Sun Zhonglei said what he said before, he now walked to the end, shook his head and said:

"We don't need to know the names of our opponents. ”

This is arrogant, and I don't know the basic information of my opponent, so I don't have any preparation. But what the academy pays attention to is that everything is practiced, and the experience of cultivation is everywhere, and fighting without preparation is also a kind of practice. If you want to enter a bigger platform in the future, you have to learn to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations, even if the opponent restrains your five elements, you have to find a way to protect yourself and win.

This time Sun Zhonglei's words made the hall master Ren angry and happy, he felt that he was being ignored, but he couldn't refuse, and now he couldn't slap his swollen face and become fat. So, after the twelve people of the academy were taken to the room by the subordinates to rest, the hall master said:

"This is a good opportunity, if the academy makes such concessions, we won't be able to win, don't mention the alliance in the future, and don't talk about the name of the five major forces anymore!"

He was obviously a little angry, and his subordinates made it clear one by one. Subsequently, the master of the hall said:

"Disciples, you are our hope now, and I will have someone send you the information about the ten of them that the alliance has later. Now, you can go back and adjust. Remember, this battle needs to be won with your lives!"

Say yes in unison, retreat in unison. After the ten people left, there were only five people left in the main hall, and they needed to arrange them in a reasonable enough order, so they racked their brains, and every time they put forward their opinions, they were quickly rejected.

"We use the weak against the strong, the strong against the weak, although we can keep half of the people, but when we try again, our strong people can't compare to the people in the academy at all. Therefore, I think we should use our strongest against their slightly stronger ones, and defeat the students of the academy in a slightly overwhelmed way. Then use our weakest against their strongest, so that we can keep more people and the battle will be more advantageous later. ”

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be the day after tomorrow, and in three days, the outcome will be determined. This is good, but is it too insidious? The academy has given in, and we are still calculating like this, I am afraid that it is not good. ”

"They made their own concessions, even if they lost, they were too arrogant, what does it have to do with us? Even if my old Yuan admired their generous approach, he didn't say that he would let them go back. There is no absolute fairness in the world, we control the opportunity, the victory is ours, we form an alliance, isn't it just to win?"

The Hong Gang Leader and the Tower Master did not speak, and remained silent for a long time, only occasionally expressing their opinions, just extremely simple words such as "reasonable" and "agree". The discussion was intense and would continue for a long time. When they were talking so enthusiastically that they no longer even completely obeyed the advice of the hall master, the faculty members and disciples of the academy lived in the rooms very comfortably.

The current academy disciples are somewhat like the Imperial Capital Forbidden Army coming to a big city, and they want to compare it with the army in it. Whether it is strength or mentality, the latter is too much worse. Therefore, the former has no worries, all to do is wait and adjust the state. After all, in the face of absolute strength, no matter how much analysis is done, it is not very useful. They had seen their opponents before, maybe they could be called elites in their own forces, but in the eyes of their own people, they were only cultivators with good talents, not Tianjiao, at most they were in the same ranks as them, and they did not surpass.

"Xia Xiao, come out and see the scenery!"

As soon as Xia Xiao put down his backpack, he was called out by Destiny. He turned a corner and saw that all the students were gathered in the corridor, even if Ah Candle, who had back pain, was holding on to the railing, and looked at this strange scene in great surprise.

This kind of place, the whole wilderness can only be seen here, which is really strange.

Xia Xiao stepped forward and saw an abyss outside the railing. It's pitch black at the top, and pitch black at the bottom. There was water on it, and it became a wide, very long curtain of water, which fell along the straight and smooth rock wall, and I don't know where it would go. But the sound is like a waterfall flowing, it seems incomparably wonderful, not noisy, there is no sound of thunder turning from a cliff to a rock, but it still makes people want to go down and explore.

Although the waterfall is small, it emits a tender and ethereal light wave with the light of the spar, which looks a little dreamy. With such a light curtain and water waves as the background, you should do something romantic. But everyone just watched, and the educated chanted two lines of poetry, and the uneducated like Xia Xiao could only say a few words in their hearts.

This water curtain more than 50 meters wide, I don't know how long, is indeed a wonder. Seeing it, everyone realized that the place where they lived was on the edge of the palace of the king of the earth, no wonder it was so quiet. Like many Flying Rock buildings, the house they lived in had been lifted from the ground, hanging in the air, showing the etiquette and importance that the Earth King's Hall valued them. I also left this unique water curtain waterfall for them as a plaything. But after looking at it for a long time, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is no longer tasteful, unlike a person who smiles and smiles, and can conjure up many kinds of tricks.

Xia Xiao poked Ah Candle's waist with his fingers, and the latter immediately called out.

"What are you doing?"

"Go back and apply the medicine, don't you have to lie in bed tomorrow. ”

"I'm so strong, how can it be so serious?"

"No more medication?"

"Tu!"

Turning back to the original corner, Xia Xiao took the safflower oil sent by his subordinates in the corridor, and just smelling the smell, he knew that it was a product of Great Xia. Ah Candle took off his coat in the warm room, lay flat on the bed in pajamas, and when he pulled up the clothes on his back, Ah Candle revealed his jade back, and before he saw Xia Xiao's gaze, he buried his face on the pillow shyly.

"Bear with me. ”

Xia Xiao said, didn't look at it much, just rubbed it on his waist with his palm full of safflower oil. Ah Candle still cried out in pain at first, feeling that his waist rod was about to be broken, but the palm of his hand was rubbed repeatedly, so that Ah Candle's waist gradually warmed and became comfortable. Xia Xiao was quite patient, and kept rubbing Ah Candle, who propped his chin on the pillow, looked at the trinkets on the bedside, and asked Xia Xiao:

"What am I going to do tomorrow?"

"What to do?"

"I can't beat it!"

"It's good to abstain, otherwise at your level, you won't be able to go up the mountain. ”

"Will the seniors blame me?"

"What, do you think you can win tomorrow if you don't abstain?"

"Can't you comfort people?"

It's really hypocritical, Xia Xiao is not comforted, but before leaving, he didn't forget to remind that he must abstain tomorrow, which is also what the seniors meant.
