"So."
Seeing that everyone had similar reactions, Chen Junting also spread his hands, "Since everyone doesn't want to fight anymore, let's just throw the question to the person who raised the question."
As soon as he finished speaking,
"Good boy, so that's what you think."
Xuan Zi, gnawing on a chicken leg, appeared in front of them. Behind the mess of hair, his bright eyes were staring at Chen Junting.
Then, without waiting for Chen Junting to respond, Xuan Zi gave an order to the teacher on the side, "Take all of your eliminated students back. Just keep nine of them."
Wang Yan and other teachers responded quickly, but except for a few people, the others were still frozen in place, with their faces filled with anger.
It's not that they are dissatisfied with being eliminated quickly because they haven't shown their strength yet. After all, those guys on the stage are all monsters among monsters. They either have Soul Ancestor cultivation, have transcended Soul Ring, or have top-level Martial Soul. They are convinced that they lost now. It's just that the sloppy old man in front of them clearly said that only seven people would be left at the beginning, but now nine people are left.
This is not fair to them at all. If only one or two more people could be left, then they might also be one of them.
Xuan Zi glanced at those Core Disciple who refused to leave, and saw what they were thinking at a glance, and snorted, "I keep my word, seven people are seven people. But how I choose seven out of the nine next is none of your business. Do any of you still have any questions? Ask them now, so you don't have to say that I am partial behind your back."
As he spoke, he took a sip of wine and no longer paid attention to them. Instead, he looked at the nine Chen Junting people, as if thinking secretly.
But after a while, I had an idea.
As the eliminated students retreated, soon there were only nine Xuan Zi and Chen Junting left in Soul Fighting Arena.
There seemed to be some silence in the atmosphere, which made the other eight people, except Chen Junting, a little uneasy. Even Ning Tian's aqua blue eyes showed a hint of worry.
After all, to a certain extent, their move can be regarded as tricking this Sea God Pavilion Elder. But as if it had to happen again, they would probably make the same choice as now.
At this time, Chen Junting took Ning Tian's catkin.
A few gentle squeezes seemed to reassure her.
"Ahem--"
Seeing that these little guys were not frightened by his silence, but instead acted affectionately in front of this single old man, Xuan Zi took a sip of wine and coughed a few times.
"You must have just heard what I said. Of the nine of you, I can only choose seven. And these seven people will participate in the continent-wide high-level Soul Master Academy Soul Duelling Competition. But you are not Main Team members, but Reserve Team. In other words, the seven people selected are just substitutes."
Hearing this, everyone was not disappointed at first, but happy.
Because the purpose of selecting seven people in this selection is exactly the same as what Chen Junting and Ning Tian guessed three days ago!
Noticing the expressions of the nine people, Xuan Zi frowned slightly.
From the looks of it, it doesn't look like a surprise.
"You already knew this?"
Just when he guessed that someone from the Inner Academy had revealed the news, everyone quickly said that someone had guessed it.
These words made Xuan Zi's brows relax slightly. But after taking a bite of the roast chicken in his hand, he muttered, "It must be that brat Wang Yan, otherwise who would have guessed the news."
This made Wang Yan, who was walking back, couldn't help but sneeze. Little did he know, he had already taken the blame.
"Now, I will tell you about the seven people who will be selected." Xuan Zi took another sip of wine and started talking about business, "But before that, I would like to state in advance that the two people who were not selected in the end are not unqualified. It's just that they are not suitable in terms of team matching."
"You, you, you..."
He stretched out his fingers and picked them out one by one. After his fingers came down seven times, only He Caitou and Wu Feng were not selected.
The feeling of loss suddenly appeared on the surface.
Xuan Zi glanced at them, and his eyes especially stayed on He Caitou for a moment. In fact, from the beginning, his plan was to eliminate Wang Dong and Wu Feng, just in time to let the team Wu maintained a combination of two powerful attacks, one defense, one agility attack, one control, one assist, and one soul guidance. Among these nine people, except for Huo Yuhao, only their cultivation base was the lowest. After five years, their cultivation base obviously did not have the advantage of others.
But later, he remembered that the girl disguised as a man seemed to be related to Huo Yuhao by Martial Soul Fusion Skill, so he hesitated for a moment and changed the eliminated candidate from Wang Dong to He Caitou.
As for Mu En who said some time ago that he would develop Soul Engineer Department... Among these seven people, Huo Yuhao is still Soul Engineer Department Core Disciple.
So, the seven-member team was selected.
"With senior brother."
Huo Yuhao walked up to He Caitou and was about to comfort him. However, he was stopped by He Caitou who pretended not to care, "It's okay Yuhao. If you enter, you can give us Soul Engineer Department some air."
Just at this time, Chen Junting and Ning Tian were also persuading Xuan Zi. "Xuan Zi, can't you always be accommodating?"
"Can this matter be accommodated?"
Xuan Zi waved his hand and refused without even thinking about it.
Maybe it was because he was in a good mood at the moment, and because they belonged to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Xuan Zi could bear to explain.
"Although you are Reserve Team, as long as no accident occurs, you will be Main Team in the next competition, and you will also have the title of Shrek Seven Devils of this generation. How is it possible that you are called Shrek Seven Devils, but actually there are nine people."
"Then what if it's just a rotation? If something unexpected happens and Main Team is unable to join, and Reserve Team is not strong enough, then the rotation members will be just right. And the rotation members are not included in the seven people you promised. After all, the members who are not eliminated will always get some rewards, right?"
"Otherwise, if we fail in the competition, then Sun Moon Empire may be sure to start another war."
Xuan Zi Hearing this, his blurred eyes Orb suddenly stared!
You kid, not only said everything I wanted to say.
And I also found an excuse for my previous promise.
But...
It does make sense.
Seeing that Xuan Zi had no intention of refuting, Chen Junting also struck while the iron was hot, and even showed what happened ten thousand years ago.
"Besides. Ten thousand years ago, when the first generation Shrek Seven Devils participated in Soul Master Tournament, weren't there four Soul Master who were similar to them in cultivation?"
"You kid also knows this."
Xuan Zi was surprised at first, and then murmured for a while.
"Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has pretty complete records."
Chen Junting directly accepted the explanation given by Xuan Zi, and then said with a smile, "After all, the ancestors Ning Rongrong and Oscar became famous in that Soul Master Tournament battle. As a descendant, Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect naturally has to record the competition clearly."
Then he asked.
"Xuan Zi, what do you think about this?"
Glancing at Chen Junting, Xuan Zi was caught in a tangle and waved his hand impatiently. "It doesn't matter what I said."
Then, he said to everyone, "Okay, okay, all nine of you will keep the matter of Reserve Team a secret. Anyone who leaks it will be deprived of the qualification to participate and the identity of Core Disciple will be revoked."
"As for what your kid said..."
Looking at Chen Junting, he took a sip of wine and thought for a moment.
"In this way, according to the regulations, you will have to practice with me for one day every week from now on. You will all come first when the first time comes, and I will tell you the final decision then."
"By the way, when the time is right, the members of Main Team will also practice with you. But I think you all should know them. After all, Main Team has not changed much."
When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled.
They don't know many Inner Academy Senior Brother, but the seven Inner Academy Senior Brother they met in Class Upgrade Assessment are exactly seven.
Chen Junting raised his head and looked directly at Xuan Zi.
Very good, he saw the playfulness in Xuan Zi's eyes.
