Preheating (4)

"Alright, everyone, please sit down." Ye Qingcang raised his hand and gently pressed down. The hundreds of teachers in the conference room immediately understood and then sat back down in their original positions, including Dugu Bo. Soon, in less than five seconds, only Ye Qingcang, who had just appeared, was still standing in the conference room. "Actually, I did think about not including me. Because if I were included, not to mention those over fifty or under twelve, just considering the three age groups from twelve to fifty, that is, the three watersheds of twenty, thirty, and fifty years old, I would definitely be number one... To be honest, it's like a game. If I, as the organizer, dominate the leaderboard, it will inevitably affect the game experience of other players."

"It could easily dampen the enthusiasm of others..."

In the conference room.

A teacher suddenly added.

This has prompted many teachers to reflect on the matter.

Ye Qingcang nodded and smiled, "That's right, it's easy to dampen other people's enthusiasm... But besides enthusiasm, we also need to consider two key points: ensuring the fairness of the game's balance and guaranteeing that players won't be disappointed during the competition. To put it more bluntly: once this list is published, even if it only collects and counts Soul Master from the Dou One World, the goal is to make those who see it believe it. The way to gain their trust is through absolute fairness, without any special treatment or playing any tricks like avoiding certain aspects. Secondly, at this critical juncture when Dou One and Dou Two are bound to clash, and with the Two Worlds Soul Master Exchange Competition less than a month away, we must give everyone sufficient confidence. This is the first time we've held such a tournament, and it's a must to get off to a good start. We must make sure we get off to a good start. Even if we lose, we can't let it affect the enthusiasm of most people."

The teachers all nodded in agreement.

They are all young people.

The oldest among them is no more than thirty years old.

They are extremely quick to accept new ideas.

Many ingenious ideas have emerged from this.

As soon as Ye Qingcang finished speaking, almost simultaneously, a teacher raised their hand in the crowd and asked, "Dean Ye, do you mean you plan to participate in this competition?"

"Certainly."

Ye Qingcang answered slowly and deliberately.

Then, before any exclamations could erupt.

Then he threw out another bomb in one go.

The teachers in the conference room were completely stunned.

Even Dugu Bo was not spared, stunned by Ye Qingcang's reminder: "Furthermore, I have some unfortunate news to tell you all: all three lists, from those aged twelve to fifty, need to be rearranged. In addition, we must be prepared to make deletions and modifications at any time... because the Gods have already begun to act. Currently, the Gods known to be involved include the God of Desire, the Ice God, the Water God, the God of Speed, the Nine Colors Goddess, and so on. The arrangement of these three lists should not be based on simple rankings. For example, in the list for those under thirty, don't put me first, and don't put Qian Renxue first either. Doing so would be seen as flattery to kill. On the contrary, you see... if we put both me and Qian Renxue in the first tier, and then put other qualified geniuses in the first tier as well, this will actually increase the level of discussion and will not affect the credibility of the lists."

The previous news wasn't particularly surprising.

The subsequent news wasn't particularly surprising.

Only the middle section is truly amazing.

Suddenly, a series of hissing sounds, like the hissing of snakes, filled the conference room.

That is, that hissing sound.

I gasped, then realized how terrifying this kid was.

The subsequent steps have simply been omitted.

No one said anything about how terrifying this kid was.

"Um... Lord Ye, may I ask... do we know who these people are?" A young teacher who seemed rather brave raised his hand and asked from the crowd. Realizing his question was somewhat vague, he quickly corrected himself, "I mean, the specific identities of those God Trial Taker..."

"This is no secret."

"But before the announcement, I hope the reviewers can confirm with these God Trial Taker God Trial Taker themselves whether or not to reveal this identity. This is their only privilege."

"Now, I will say it, and you will write it down."

"Qian Renxue, the Angel God Test Taker... you should all know this."

"Bibidong, the Rakshasa God Test Taker, you should all know this as well."

"Zhu Zhuqing belongs to the God of Desire, and is simply referred to as the God of Desire God Test Taker."

"Shui Bing'er, the Ice God... Actually, she was originally supposed to be the God Trial Taker of the Water God, but a small accident happened in the middle. In short, she is now the God Trial Taker the Ice God and has undergone the Ice God Nine Trials."

"Shui Yue'er, the God Trial Taker the Water God... It's worth mentioning that the Ice God and the Water God were originally sisters. You can figure out the reason yourselves. Be careful with your pens."

"The God of Speed, Bai Chenxiang."

"Butterfly God, Wang Dong'er... speaking of which... never mind, I'd better not say anything."

"Xiao Wu, the chosen God Trial Taker of the Goodness God King."

Ye Qingcang hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't reveal those strange relationships. Mainly, when Xiao Wu and Wang Dong'er were put together, some strange thoughts inevitably popped into his head, especially about Xiao Wu. This girl seemed to have grasped his weakness, perhaps because they had spent a lot of time together and become familiar. Heaven knows how many brain cells he instantly lost when he came back before and saw Wang Dong'er wearing Xiao Wu's clothes and Xiao Wu wearing Wang Dong'er's clothes, the two of them holding hands and taking pictures.

But Xiao Wu still talked about freedom of dress.

Fortunately, he has strong self-control.

Otherwise, the smaller party might control the larger party.

Even so, I was indeed held back for a second or two.

If we add a transformed Wang Qiu'er to this...

Honestly, he felt that if Poseidon Tang San, wanted to kill him, he would have a perfectly reasonable excuse.

What man could tolerate such an insult?

Even if the Poseidon Tang San is indeed ruthless and insane.

He split his daughter's soul in two.

Looking back over ten thousand years, there is only one such person.

I can't stand it either.

"Cough cough..." Ye Qingcang pulled his thoughts back from their tangent, erasing the surprise Xiao Wu and Wang Dong'er had given him from his mind. He also circulated his qi and blood to control his body's instinctive reactions. Then, continuing the previous topic, he said, "The above are the confirmed God Trial Taker, those who have undergone the God Nine Trials. What I'm about to talk about are those whose fates are uncertain, but whose corresponding Deity have already set out and who are very likely to be Deity. However, I don't yet know if they have been chosen. If you're curious, you can ask: Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin, Yu Yuanzhen, Lei Dong..." Corresponding to Thunder God and the Lightning God, Yan, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and Ma Hongjun correspond to the Phoenix God Fire God and Wind God of Love of Gui Mei; Pufferfish, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan correspond to the Poison God Xie Yue; Xie Yue corresponds to the God of the Yue Shen; Hu Liena should be the Forest God, but she could also be a subordinate Deity of the God of Desire, the God of Love; Feng Xiaotian corresponds to the God of Darkness; the Nine Colors Goddess depends on Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling, both of whom are suitable; there are also some Deity are uncertain... In short, if you are demanding and seeking accuracy, you can check it out yourself, but if you don't care about accuracy, just talk to those people above who are definitely God Trial Taker."

There was a brief silence in the meeting room.

Immediately afterwards, a cacophony of discussion filled the air.

Just like boiling water.

The water has boiled.

Bubbles popped and bubbled on the surface of the water.

At this moment, it was impossible to tell whose voice was the loudest. Everyone had their own focus, and everyone's focus was different. This led to other questions arising. Ye Qingcang could already hear questions from the crowd, such as another female teacher raising her hand and asking a question drowned out by the clamor, "Excuse me, where is Violet?"

"Alright, everyone, quiet down."

Ye Qingcang glanced at the chaotic scene.

Put your hands together and clap them gently.

The silence Domain was immediately activated.

Clear all sound.

Seeing that everyone was gradually calming down, he explained Violet's situation, "Violet's situation is a bit special, and I can't be sure if she will become a God Trial Taker. Speaking of which, I have to add something to the current situation: the batch of Deity I mentioned are just the ones who acted earlier in the Divine Realm. In fact, besides the Deity Deity just mentioned, there are quite a few other Deity in the Divine Realm who haven't acted yet, or rather, they have their sights set on the upcoming Two Worlds Soul Master Exchange Competition. Because those who can stand out in this competition must be one in a million... Therefore, Blue Tyrant Academy does not prevent you from participating in this competition, nor does it prevent anyone belonging to the Blue Tyrant Academy from participating in this competition. This news will be conveyed to each grade later. Therefore, you also have the opportunity to become God Trial Taker. As long as you perform well enough and are dazzling enough in the upcoming storm, you will have a high probability of being selected."

These words were spoken.

There was no noise, because it was all cleared away by Ye Qingcang's Domain.

However, everyone present showed excitement on their faces, their breathing became rapid, and their eyes seemed to ignite with boundless ambition.

Even Dugu Bo was no exception.

Because he knew that the Poison God had not chosen him.

He was simply carrying a possibility.

There's still a gap between us and those who have already become God Trial Taker.

But compared to others.

Especially compared to those who are still stuck at the Soul Douluo and Soul Saint stages.

His talent is undoubtedly sufficient.

This is the same principle as choosing the tallest person among the short ones.

I'm short, but I'm not afraid.

Because everyone else is shorter than me.

If this is a mandatory question, then my chances will be much greater.

Become a god!

That's becoming a god!

Immortal God!

Who wouldn't want to give it a try?

Besides, even if you fail, you don't have to pay any price or die. And if you succeed, you'll turn your life around, shed your snake skin, and transform into a dragon. Who wouldn't want to give it a try?

Ye Qingcang naturally noticed the ambitions of Dugu Bo and others, but he didn't care. In his view, in this era, having ambition was actually a good thing. Everyone was moving forward, and even if you were moving forward, you wouldn't get ahead if you were unlucky. If you lost your ambition and stopped moving forward, you would have even less of a chance. And a person without opportunities was not worth investing in. An investment where the outcome could be seen at a glance was a good thing when there were no other options, but when there were other options, it was only suitable as a safety net because it could never maximize profits!

Therefore, ambition is not a sin.

Losing one's bottom line is the real sin.

Therefore, Ye Qingcang did not discourage Dugu Bo Dugu Bo the others. He chose to tell them this fact, essentially to ignite their ambition, and the ambition of everyone in the Blue Tyrant Academy. But ambition aside, he still had some things to deal with, and some unavoidable explanations. "In addition, research and investigation have shown that another Goddess of Life planet in our star system, the Saint Demon Continent named the God Seal World, has recently established some kind of connection with our Douluo Star. This list includes everyone known in our Dou One Star System. The God Seal World also belongs to our Dou One Star System. In the last month before the start of the Two Worlds Soul Master Exchange Competition, or to be precise, less than a month, I will handle this matter. You should also make relevant preparations... Every world has talents, and the God Seal World is no exception."

"Clear!"

Ye Qingcang released the sound-blocking Domain.

This time, the people in the conference room finally spoke in unison.

They answered in a neat and orderly manner.

Then, he watched as Ye Qingcang was enveloped in purple light and shadow and teleported away.

There was silence for about five seconds.

The commotion resumed.

The allure of immortality is too great.

Even emperors and generals throughout history could not withstand it.

For ordinary people, it would be even more unbearable.

On the other side...

When discussing the above matters and making corresponding changes in the meeting room.

Ye Qingcang has returned to his villa.

Let's use a more official-sounding name.

This is a single dormitory specifically provided for students on the Heaven Ranking.

At most, it just takes up a lot of space.

In fact, the single dormitories of the other Heaven Ranking students also occupy a considerable area.

Three Rankings Student can choose their dormitory.

They won't be living in cramped conditions like the other trainees.

Whether it's a four-person dorm or a two-person dorm.

There will still be some inconveniences.

Seeing Xiao Wu approaching and Wang Dong'er finally changing back into normal clothes, Ye Qingcang breathed a sigh of relief. He then turned his gaze to Sheng Cai'er, who was feeding the koi in the pond in the courtyard, and casually asked, "Did you receive the letter? It was written to you by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion... She's not very educated, so don't take it too seriously."

"Fortunately, I can read the words." Wang Dong'er nodded, not discussing the contents of the letter. The main issue was that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's soul was entangled with Wang Qiu'er's. To ensure Wang Qiu'er wouldn't cause trouble, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had to lend its body to Wang Qiu'er at times—of course, under the supervision of the Ferocious Beast like Di Tian. It was more accurate to say that the letter was from Wang Qiu'er to her other half of her soul than from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to Wang Dong'er Wang Dong'er. The troubles she was facing were obviously unnecessary to share with Ye Qingcang, as she was simply grumbling. "Speaking of which, regarding this Soul Master Competition, can I participate... or should I continue to remain inactive?"

"Of course you can participate."

"You should even say you must participate."

"Only in this way can we force the Poseidon Tang San to intervene and make him realize that the plan is out of control and the initiative is out of his grasp."

"However, the choice is yours."

"If you don't want to, I won't force you."

"There are other methods."

"By the way... if you plan to represent Blue Tyrant Academy in the battle, I agree on behalf of the Blue Tyrant Academy. If you plan to represent Shrek Academy in the battle, I will find an opportunity to send you back after we go to Dou Two. If you plan to fight as Rogue Cultivator cultivator, I can lend you the Shuttle Door. In short, it's up to you."

"The chains that restrain the Poseidon Tang San have been formed."

"He can only dance in shackles."

Even though he still holds the initiative.

"But no matter which way he goes, there are plenty of pits waiting for him to jump into."

He took the coffee Violet offered him.

Ye Qingcang took a sip and said this.

The answer was full of confidence.

His tone, however, betrayed a considerable degree of wariness.

Sober and rational.
