Sequence Candidates
Zhang Xuezhou's concept of fairness differs somewhat from Wang Haoran's.
After these young Sequence Holder from Luo'an Province entered the top eight, they faced only one opponent: Zuo Teng from Western Capital City.
Zhang Xuezhou thought Zuo Teng was quick-witted and his strength was growing rapidly, but Zhang Xuezhou didn't think Zuo Teng could have eight arms and defeat eight outstanding young people from Luo'an Province.
If Western Capital City is to gain the upper hand over these local bullies, Zuo Teng needs to establish a strong impression through decisive and efficient means.
Restricting the rules of the competition is clearly one approach, and it would be fairer to Zuo Teng.
The competition that Wang Haoran and others arranged on the spot was not entirely a stage for the people of Luo'an Province, but rather would bring out the role of Western Capital City.
No matter how much these people fight and compete, there are always more outstanding talents in Western Capital City.
If you want to become equally excellent, the best choice is to continuously align yourself with Western Capital City Western Capital City as it relaxes its conditions and shows goodwill, rather than staying in one place to form a small clique or plotting rebellion.
"If Zuo Teng can't hold on, would you be okay with playing a couple of rounds?" Wang Haoran asked in a low voice.
"No problem!"
Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
If Zhang Xuezhou doesn't resort to firearms, genetically engineered weapons, or melee weapons, he has no fear of engaging in a direct confrontation.
His favorite type of opponent is someone who fights bare-handed.
Zhang Xuezhou felt that even if a few young people came to challenge him, he wouldn't have any problem with the middle-aged and elderly groups in Luo'an Province. He wasn't even afraid of a group fight.
"Any one of the top eight players who defeats or draws with me will grant me a place in the semifinals. Zuo Teng of Western Capital City will defend his title; all challenges are welcome!"
The competition from the top 100 to the top 16, and then to the top 8, didn't last long; the results were decided in just 45 minutes.
This naturally brings joy to some and sorrow to others.
Some were overjoyed to be free from their suffering, some were furious at their descendants' lack of ambition, some were anxious about when their promises would be fulfilled, and a small number of people turned pale, feeling as if the sky had fallen.
This involves varying treatment among the Lineage involved, which has turned solidarity into division.
Many people are uncertain about the future and have various thoughts on it.
In this situation, few people paid attention to the top eight or top four, and no one was interested in Zuo Teng, who was humble and polite on the ring.
"I received information that the contestants who made it to the final four possessed keys to major research institutes in Western Capital City, allowing them to purchase any gene-based drug in stock through a pricing system!"
Zuo Teng, who was defending his position, paid little attention to Song Fengying, who had no choice but to take the microphone and address the group of young people.
Her announcement caused the young men who had made it into the top eight to look up, their faces showing some surprise.
"The top four contestants will receive a reward of money to purchase gene-enhancing drugs. Xuanxuan thinks this reward is a bit ordinary, but the top two seem very interesting. They say they can give outstanding young candidates a seat on the committee!"
When Song Fengying read out the awards for the champion and runner-up, even the disappointed and anxious Lineage members in the audience fell silent for a moment, and then looked incredulously at Song Fengying, who was making the announcement in the center of the venue.
"One thing I need to make clear to everyone is that if Zuo Teng successfully defends his title, he will also be eligible to enter the candidate list of committee members," Song Fengying reminded everyone based on the words written on the card.
"Holy shit!"
Zuo Teng had been conscripted to work, and he knew there would be some benefits involved, but Zuo Teng hadn't expected these kinds of benefits. This made his heart skip a beat, and he unusually lost his composure and swore.
The candidate sequence committee seat may sound like a backup plan, but such a seat already grants the holder the right to attend and observe sessions on the Sequence Committee.
Although candidates for seats cannot participate in decision-making and have no other real privileges, this right to observe is enough to learn about the latest decision-making information from the Scarlet Alliance State.
Candidates for the next generation of members are usually prepared as future members, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with them.
Zuo Teng never expected such a pie to fall from the sky.
If he had a seat on the candidate list committee, he wouldn't need to beg and plead with everyone to find connections and hear rumors.
This immediately made his complexion rosy.
If it weren't for the camera recording the live stream, Zuo Teng would have started swearing and yelling.
"This resolution is stamped with the seal of the Sequence Committee and is authentic and valid!"
Song Fengying flipped the card over and took out an official document from the back.
After receiving numerous virtual gifts from viewers during the live stream, she even had the camera zoom in to reveal the official document.
"If each province or city is willing to provide the venue and suitable candidates within the required age range, the committee will regularly lead the reigning champions on a series of challenge matches across the provinces and cities. The winners will have the qualification to directly enter the Sequence Committee, with a term of office valid for four years," Song Fengying recited. "In addition, there are related policies concerning the Sequence Committee; please consult the Western Capital City Sequence Committee for details!"
It's absurd that an official document from Western Capital City needs to be announced via a live broadcast, but it's a problem that the Western Capital City Sequence Committee has to face.
The normal channels for disseminating information in Western Capital City only keep the information within a small circle, and it is then controlled and exploited by a few people.
Even when published in publications like the Western Capital Daily, this content is difficult for relevant people in other provinces and cities to see.
Flying Entertainment Livestream is currently the only product that has broken through the traditional information barrier. Previous Sequence Committee were either limited by rules, had difficulty in controlling the process, or did not believe in this method of transmission. However, the current Sequence Committee leader has an extremely close relationship with the Zhang Household and is willing to make this attempt, even constantly pushing the Zhang Household upward.
This challenge seemed to have given Zuo Teng a place in the candidate pool, but the initial offer was actually given to Zhang Xuezhou.
However, this kind of thing is ultimately a bit high-profile, especially since it involves the first session, and Zhang Xuezhou is not fond of showing his face, so he pulled Zuo Teng, who came with Zhang Xuezhou, out to take the blame.
Zhang Xuezhou will only step in if Zuo Teng fails and is eliminated in this test.
Zhang Xuezhou's sequence hierarchy was substandard, which was the best solution that Ren Yisheng and others could come up with.
Not only will a group of people from other provinces and cities rise to positions of power, but people like Ren Anran, Zhang Manqian, and Zhou Tianhao may also be included. It is even possible that extremely outstanding ordinary family cultivators will be involved.
This document involves a large number of beneficiaries.
This is a major personnel upheaval, but if it can be implemented, it will inevitably have a huge impact on the power of the Scarlet Alliance State decades later.
This will also allow the Western Capital City Sequence Committee to continuously accommodate new people, shifting the previous Lineage interest model to a mass-based model.
There will inevitably be various disputes, but this also allows the Sequence Committee to take turns leading the way, preventing it from weakening due to a lack of successors.
"The top eight contestants only have one opponent to challenge, while the reigning champion has to fight eight. The chief champion looks a bit distressed?"
While Song Fengying was jokingly interviewing Zuo Teng on the ring, some people couldn't resist jumping into the center of the arena to challenge him.
