There is a relatively large restaurant in the east area of the college, and although Tianci City is dominated by the Imperial Academy, there are still related living configurations or others. This restaurant is called "Yuxian Restaurant", although it is known as a restaurant, but there is only one floor. There are no buildings longer than two floors in the Godsend, except for the Godsend Tower. The consumption is extremely expensive, and it can be called the best restaurant in Tianci City. Very high-grade, there is no hall of the crowd restaurant, only private rooms.

On this day, the largest private room of the "Yuxian Restaurant" was full of people. It is an oversized round table that can seat thirty people without being crowded. Now sixteen people were seated, and they sat down around the round table. In the main seat was Mu Tansheng, who stood up and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. ”

The whispering stopped suddenly, and they all looked at Mu Tansheng. Mu Tansheng said: "My name is Mu Tansheng, and I am the mentor of the ninth group. Although Tutor Tonglong and Tutor Sima Bei know me, I still want to introduce everyone here so that everyone can get to know each other. The one on my right is the Tonglong Mentor, a group of mentors, a very powerful seventh-level martial artist. ”

Tonglong stood up and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you. There was a round of applause.

"The one on my left is Mentor Sima Bei, the mentor of the seventh group, and also a powerful seventh-level martial artist. Mu Tansheng continued.

Sima Bei stood up and waved his hand, saying, "Everyone is good. There was another round of applause.

"Before I get everyone together today, I talked to Tutor Tong and Tutor Sima about some plans for this melee knockout round. This time, I will mainly solicit your opinions. Mu Tan Shengdao.

Tonglong and Sima Bei nodded.

"But before I ask for everyone's opinions, let Mentor Tong tell us a few of our plans. Mu Tan Shengdao.

Mentor Tong stood up and waved his hand, telling the whisperer to shut up first. Said: "Mentor Mu proposed that the three of us decide the result of the first half of the three-class melee knockout tournament, and I think this proposal is very good. Why? The fact that we were able to stand out in the first round of this God-given competition fully demonstrates the excellence of all of you here. If we can't guarantee your interests, what else do we need to do with the mentors? After the three of us discussed, it was decided that all 13 of our three groups would enter the third round of the elimination round. The other three candidates are one from each of us. Next, Tutor Sima will talk about the precautions. ”

Sima Bei stood up and said, "As for me, I don't have any ability myself. It is the efforts of all the students that we have achieved such good results today. To ensure that this result continues, I believe that as long as all of us can follow what the three of us said, we will definitely be able to enter the third round of the knockout round. There are a total of 25 people in the first half of this melee knockout round, so let's not say who they are. Half of our three groups are made up, so making sure our own people don't get eliminated is the most important thing. What are we afraid of? First, there will be people like the geniuses of the last five groups, and three of our seven groups will be eliminated at once. The second is the phenomenon of disunity, before the start of the third round, our three groups are an alliance, everyone wants to use together, and the strength must be used together. However, because this melee knockout match is tracked by the inspectors of the academy, everyone must cooperate tacitly and not be too outstanding, as long as they exert their strength at a critical time. That's all I have to say, so let's talk about it below. ”

Shocked! Shocked! Except shocked, shocked. Yao Jiao couldn't think about it a little, if he really did this, then those who were really powerful might be beaten out of the game. Many people have already been determined without fighting fate. Originally, I thought that Bende's fate was a little bad, but now it seems that the fate of those students in the group with few people who qualify is even more miserable. Unless there is a genius who strikes back, it will be possible to salvage the defeat, but now it seems that it will be difficult.

It's a completely black-box operation. And the origin of all this turned out to be Mo Siyuan's words, and now it seems that this Mo Siyuan is too powerful. One sentence determines the fate of many people. When the three gurus sat together, they had already made up their minds. And these so-called discussions are of no use at all.

Where do students dare to disobey the orders of their mentors. Thinking about it, Yao Jiao felt that these three mentors were a little hateful.

Who would be willing to let go in the face of huge interests, even these tutors and students would not let go.

I saw a tall boy in a group stand up, and Tonglong introduced: "This is our group's Du Lazy classmate." ”

"We are honored to have three mentors who are far-sighted and advocate for the interests of our students. After hearing this, the other students also nodded their heads, thinking so.

Mu Tansheng said: "This is all your efforts, by the way, Lao Tong, Sima, I have already chosen another candidate, that is, a representative of the four groups." ”

Sima Bei smiled: "You are always anxious, so let's do it, after we sit once, after we settle down people, tell everyone, try to protect these people, and at the same time quickly eliminate others." ”

Tonglong said: "Lao Mu has entered so many people this year, and you can understand his mood. ”

All three laughed.

The only woman in the seventh group, with an ordinary face, also stood up, and Sima Bei said: "This is the most powerful female magician in our group, called Ma Jing." Ma Jing smiled and said, "As the leader of the seven groups of participants, I will work hard to cooperate with everyone and implement the opinions of the three mentors." ”

Yao Jiao suddenly felt unhappy, and he was too confident. But listening to her, it seems to be quite powerful, and I will have the opportunity to learn a good lesson in the game in the future.

Mu Tansheng clicked Yao Jiao's name: "Yao Jiao, what do you think of this matter?"

Yao Jiao stood up, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and said, "I will do my best." ”

Mu Tansheng smiled: "Okay, what about you?"

"All the mentors are very experienced, and if we can improve under the guidance of the three mentors, I believe that we will have more gains, and we will achieve the best results in this melee knockout round. Mo Siyuan stood up and said.

Mu Tansheng said: "I'm hungry, let's prepare to eat, right?" said and looked at Tonglong and Sima Bei, Sima Bei smiled and said: "Then let's eat, it is estimated that you are not only hungry." ”

Yao Jiao always felt very uncomfortable when he returned to the room after eating.

But you can't change it, but changing your own interests may be harmful. It's a real dilemma.

Suddenly, Yao Jiao felt irritable, he thought he was an upright person, but now he was going to do such a thing, knowing that it was a dirty dark box operation, but he couldn't change it. He wanted to find someone to talk about it. He needed a guide. Yao Jiao thought of Yu Liuchu, maybe he could help him relieve his troubles.

So he came to the room of the fourth class and the fifth group where Yu Liuchu was located, and it happened that Yu Liuchu was there. After hearing this, Yu Liuchu said to Yao Jiao: "I can't give you any advice on this matter, by the way, the master is outside the city, send me a message to take you to him in the next two days." ”

"Master! Yao Jiao was surprised, Yao Jiao is a person full of feelings, and now he knows that the master is coming, and he misses it very much. said to Yu Liuchu: "Then let's go." ”

Yu Liuchu said: "We haven't seen the master for a long time, so it's okay, I'll pack up and leave." ”

Then the two of them went out of the west gate of the city and came to a relatively remote place outside the city, Yu Liuchu took Yao Jiao for a while, entered a valley, the peaks turned around, and suddenly it opened up, and there were several houses in the valley.

Yu Liuchu bowed down and said, "Master, I brought Senior Brother Yao here." ”

"Come in with you. The familiar voice came out of a house on the far side, it was Zhao Qian's voice.

Yao Jiao and Yu Liuchu went in, only to see that the room was very simple, only simple things to use, a bed and a table and some other daily necessities. Zhao Qian watched Yu Liuchu and Yao Jiao come in, put away his hands, and said with a smile on his face: "You guys came just in time, I just finished cultivating." Xiaojiao, we haven't seen each other in a while. ”

Yao Jiao had a sour nose, bowed and said affectionately: "Master." ”

Zhao Qian smiled: "Okay, is there something to find me?"

Yao Jiao then told Mo Siyuan's idea, and then the results of the gathering of the three mentors Tonglong, Mu Tansheng, and Sima Bei. After finishing speaking, Yao Jiao said: "Master, I always feel that this is unfair to others. If a single battle is not possible, there will be people who will enter the third round, but this seems to wipe out those who have the strength in advance. I don't know how I do it, of course I want to go further, but I just want to be fair, and it seems difficult to do that right now. Master, what do you say I should do? If I do what the three gurus say, then I will also become a powerful accomplice. But I don't do it, and I don't know how to do it. They are my mentors after all. This is where my troubles lie. ”

Zhao Qian stood up and said, "There may be some things that you don't know at all, but I can't blame you." By the way, that's what I told you, and since we've met together, I'll tell you both about it. First of all, I ask you both, if there is something that makes you have to choose between me and your guru, how do you choose?"

Yao Jiao and Yu Liuchu said in unison: "Of course listen to the master." ”

Zhao Qian paced: "That's it, in fact, you must know that the vast majority of cultivators in this world are absorbed by various sects. And there are very, very few people who are self-taught or who have started a cultivation career on their own, and of course this kind of person is also very, very admirable. The students in Wang Xin's Imperial Academy also belong to various forces, including the Imperial Academy itself, of course. The power behind these powerful people is small or large, and it is impossible for a few tutors to operate, the most important thing is that the Imperial Academy itself is very strict in supervising this kind of competition, and the Imperial Academy itself also hopes that powerful students can stand out and not be buried. For example, the two of you, most people don't know that they are my apprentices, but the academy knows very well, with your strength, the academy will never dare to operate you. There have been many problems in the melee knockout rounds over the years, but the fact that Imperial College has not canceled it shows that there is still a necessity to exist. It's okay to have some contact with each other, but this time it's a bit too much, I'm sure you can't even get into the three groups of 1, 7, and 9. ”

"Why?" Yao Jiao was taken aback when he heard this, if there were not ten people, then at least four more people would come out. But I'm not afraid, because it's really a fair battle, and I'm not afraid of anyone.

"Hehe, the academy will definitely make your so-called alliance of the three groups dumb and eat coptis in a way that you can't say if you have suffering. In this way, let me briefly tell you later, in your small third class, there are talents from various forces on the mainland. All powerful people want to manipulate others, but the academy has no way to reconcile in the face of so many forces, so it can only take a fair and fair showdown, and whoever is powerful will enter the next round. But if your guru tries to mess up this balance for the sake of his own interests, he will definitely lift his own feet and smash himself. An unfathomable smile appeared on Zhao Qian's face.

Yao Jiao felt that Mu Tansheng was a pity, but he was done prompting, after all, he became his own mentor.

Yu Liuchu didn't speak at this time, he listened quietly beside him, and when he heard this, he asked: "Master, these three mentors, whether they are Mu Tansheng, Tonglong or Sima Bei, are all seventh-level powerhouses, don't they understand the powerful relationship between these forces? It is said that the seventh-level powerhouses should understand." ”

Zhao Qian shook his head.

Or six words, ask for collection, ask for recommendation.
