What Is a Control System?

Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, and Salas —none of these three wanted to speak up on this matter. Even Salas, who was usually somewhat domineering, didn't want to step forward to uphold "justice."

Among the VIPs, the happiest person was none other than Huyan Zhen.

Although the strength of the Nuoding Team was so outrageous that even he, an 89th-level Soul Douluo, couldn't see through it at all, at least Salas's goal of using that team to teach the Elephant Armored Sect a lesson was not achieved.

The question is whether Elephant Armored Academy should join forces with the other fifteen academies to launch an attack on the Nuoding Academy.

Huyan Zhen prepared to assess the situation.

And the situation on the scene was exactly what Zhou Qing wanted to see—

After all, the primary purpose of participating in this Continental Elite Tournament is to declare to the world:

He, Zhou Qing, has arrived!

The secondary objective was to further define their ruling methods through this "talent selection" event, which included the Two Great Empires and the Spirit Hall.

Now, some of the details have been confirmed.

Therefore, even if they are ostracized, it doesn't matter. The ridicule and insults from others will only inspire them to have a stronger belief and motivation to change the world!

If they are not excluded, that would be even better. They can determine the ruling methods within Spirit City during the Finals, and see what the economic circulation and political management are like in a city full of Soul Master. They can learn from the best and discard the worst, providing a theoretical basis for future construction and urban planning.

But the atmosphere at the scene couldn't remain silent any longer—

Final!

Xue Ye slowly rose, took a deep breath, and spoke into the Amplifying Soul Tool, his eyes fixed on Huyan Zhen. He said, "Sect Master Hu Yan, your Elephant Armored Academy team is the real party involved. What do you think?"

Xue Ye didn't want to offend either the seven members of the Nuoding Team or the fifteen academies, so he had to find a scapegoat.

Huyan Zhen and Salas of the Martial Soul Hall have been interacting frequently and their attitudes have been ambiguous in recent years. Xue Ye is aware of this and therefore tries to sow discord between them.

Salas was slightly taken aback, but immediately stood on the same side as Xue Ye.

After all, his original intention was to give the Elephant Armored Sect a warning, and going with the flow was the best choice.

Seeing that the two had actually reached an agreement, Ning Fengzhi sighed slightly and could only hope that Huyan Zhen would put in a word.

Huyan Zhen's eyelids twitched involuntarily!

Although he is physically strong, he is definitely not stupid!

Real!

He's not stupid!

Xue Ye, Salas, and Ning Fengzhi clearly did not want to offend any of the parties below them. Even if he did not know the exact situation of the Nuoding Team, he knew that they were extraordinary. If he chose to side with them in order to improve relations with those fifteen Advanced Academy, the Heaven Dou Royal Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, and the Spirit Hall would definitely have to appease the Nuoding Team afterwards.

Similarly, if he favors the Nuoding Team, then these three parties will later choose to appease the other fifteen Advanced Academy.

In short, the Elephant Armored Sect is the one that is wrong!

Damn it!

He Elephant Armored Sect to be promoted to one of the Upper Three Sects.

The Spirit Hall was the only hope for the Elephant Armored Sect's advancement, but the conditions Salas offered were too harsh for him—requiring the entire Elephant Armored Sect to be at the Spirit Hall's beck and call at all times...

Ning Fengzhi is the Sect Leader of one of the Upper Three Sects. If the Elephant Armored Sect wants to advance its cultivation, it needs to establish a relationship with him to avoid future conflicts...

There's also the Heaven Dou Empire. His Elephant Armored Sect is located near Heaven Dou City, which is another option for him—he can't afford to offend them.

But now, it seems like all three parties are trying to push him into the fire.

He really wanted to grab each of them by the ears and interrogate them one by one:

When did the three of you become so united?

Ning Fengzhi, it's understandable that you took Xue Qinghe as your student and became close to the Heaven Dou Royal Family, but what about you, Salas? You betrayed the Spirit Hall, didn't you?

With a thousand Huyan Zhen in his mind, Hu Yanzhen could only steel himself and walk to the front of the stage, speaking into the loudspeaker, "In order for the normal conduct of the competition, I propose that the Nuoding Team be prohibited from using abilities that can cause people to faint."

This is the best way to avoid offending either side.

Xue Ye did not want to speak, and glanced at the master of ceremonies.

The emcee hurriedly spoke, asking the Nuoding Team, "Gentlemen of the Nuoding Academy, do you agree?"

Zhou Qing didn't ask Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, and Salas the question of "what would happen if they didn't agree," which would have embarrassed them. He just wanted to put them in a slightly difficult position.

Why did they treat us like pawns they could manipulate at will?

Now, in front of nearly 80,000 spectators, the roles of chess piece and chess player have been switched, and he actually wants to overturn the chessboard.

Therefore, Zhou Qing replied, "I agree. But we also have one request: teams from other Advanced Academy cannot use any Self-Created Soul Skill anymore, as this would be fair. Is that feasible?"

The emcee was surprised by Zhou Qing's sharp words.

Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, and Salas frowned again.

After all, Zhou Qing's words were correct. Since they couldn't use their Self-Created Soul Skill, other teams naturally shouldn't use them either, otherwise it would be unfair.

It's impossible that just because Zhou Qing and the others have such a terrifying Qi Field Power, they should be specifically banned, right?

That doesn't make sense!

Not to mention, they are still an intermediate college, and it would be criticized to impose another rule on them.

But if there are no restrictions, the Continental Elite Tournament really can't continue. After all, if someone glares at you, you'll be stunned. Even if you're not stunned, your body will tremble and your hands and feet will go weak. Is there any point in continuing?

Just notify Spirit City and the Papal Palace directly, and have the current Pope give them the championship title and prizes!

However, Zhou Qing didn't keep them in a difficult position for too long, and continued, "Your Majesty Heaven Dou, I have an idea. Why don't you listen to it?"

"Oh? What's your idea?" Xue Ye had already come up with a perfect solution and was about to forcibly prevent the Nuoding Team from using that Qi Field Power, but when he heard Zhou Qing suddenly speak, he decided to listen.

"Let's have another match with the Elephant Armored Academy."

"You're not using that Self-Created Soul Skill?"

"Use."

"What's the point?" Xue Ye didn't understand why the Elephant Armored Academy team would faint again.

"The opponent is not Huyan Li."

Zhou Qing looked at Huyan Zhen, who had been pushed forward as a "scapegoat," and said, "It's him, the Sect Leader of the Elephant Armored Sect!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

"The Nuoding Team is actually challenging a Soul Douluo?!"

"Is this insane?"

"Although their Soul Ring configurations are extremely terrifying, the strongest among these seven is only Soul Elder!"

"Holy crap! I almost forgot they were a group of Soul Grandmaster and Soul Elder!"

"·····"

At this moment, many people realized that the Nuoding Team on the field was a team composed of Soul Grandmaster and Soul Elder.

Even though Zhou Qing possessed three Thousand-Year Soul Rings with crimson Soul Beast patterns, he was still ultimately a Soul Elder. Yet, his words seemed to possess Magic Power, making them impossible for anyone to ignore.

Ning Fengzhi suddenly had a realization:

Is this the real "Control System"?

It wasn't about controlling the situation in terms of Soul Fight, but rather—

The entire venue!
