”First of all, I would like to thank everyone for coming today to support us. I will not say anything unnecessary in order to avoid provoking anyone.” Xiao Qing He cupped his fist toward the direction of the few great clans as he spoke with a smile.
In Yunhai City, the person they were the most unwilling to offend was Xiao Qing He. Although this person appeared to be low-key, his strength was extremely frightening and it was likely that only the previous Soul Suppressing General would be able to steadily suppress him. On the other hand, they did not have the ability to do so.
”Hehe, alright. Now let me introduce everyone. The two people behind me are the referees for this time's selection competition. As for the rules, all of you are aware of them. All five academies are going to decide on them!” Xiao Qinghe bowed slightly before cupping his hands together. He immediately laughed, ”These two people are Old Feng and Old Lei from the Five Great Academies. They have extremely high qualifications within the Five Great Academies. They will be responsible for supervising this year's selection.”
”A teacher from the Five Great Academies?”
Xia Zhi and the others were slightly startled when they heard this. They quickly stood up and cupped their hands towards the old man. The teachers in the Five Great Academies were not simple people.
Summer River was so far away from the arena, yet he could already feel the pressure from the two elders in front of him. Their strength was definitely not weaker than his, or maybe even higher than his.
The two old men known as Old Man Feng and Old Lei merely nodded at Xia He and the others. Their attitude was not considered polite, and those who were originally considered the leading figures in the family or even the Cloud Sea City could only let out a dry laugh. The reason was because the five great academies behind the latter, any one of them could easily crush them.
”Let's begin.” Old Feng and Old Lei nodded at Xiao Qing He and said.
Xiao Qing He also smiled when he heard this. After which, his gaze swept over the entire place. His cry was mixed with a dense Soul Power. His voice appeared to be by his ear as it resounded over every corner of the Cloud Sea Academy.
”The rules for this time's selection are very simple. There are a total of three spots in the Five Great Academies, six from the family, six from the Cloud Sea Academy, and twelve from the Cloud Sea Academy. The first three will be qualified to enter the Five Great Academies.” Of course, if there are any outstanding individuals who are highly regarded by the Elders of the Wind and Thunder Sect, they will also be able to enter the Five Great Academies. ”
”As usual, we'll draw lots to decide the opponents. All of you little fellows who want to participate in the competition, come out and draw your lots.” Xiao Qing He's eyes looked at everyone present as he slowly said.
Principal Xiao, I'm sorry, but our Xia Clan only has one spot today. At this moment, River Summer stood up and cupped his hands towards the figure in front of him. There was an apologetic expression on his face.
”This …!” One must know that this kind of entry was not like those rotten cabbages on the street. Now that the Xia clan had taken the initiative to give up a spot, it immediately caused him to be greatly shocked. However, when he recalled the scandal that the Xia clan had spread a few days ago, he immediately understood the reason.
”Alright, since the Xia Clan has given up on one spot, the eleven of you can draw your lots. If anyone can draw the same number, they can be considered to have advanced.” Xiao Qing He hurriedly said when he saw Old Feng and Old Lei frown slightly.
Xiao Qing He's voice had just sounded when a figure slowly walked out. One could see that an uproar was immediately transmitted over from the special seat. After which, a figure flashed and appeared. His eyes stared intently at this figure.
”Soul …” Hun'er, is that you? ” There was a slight tremble in his voice, and a pair of callused hands held the figure before them tightly.
