Chapter 152: I was tricked again
Xue Qinghe continued to say to everyone: "Not only that, the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, one of the top three sects, who is also my teacher, has also prepared a speech for all the contestants today."
Xue Qinghe turned around, bowed to the right side of the platform, and said respectfully: "Teacher, please."
At the moment when Xue Qinghe bent down, Jun Yi saw a tall, handsome, elegant, gentle, middle-aged man in a green shirt walking slowly. It was the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Ning Fengzhi.
"Hey? Why didn't I detect Uncle Ning's breath just now, as if he suddenly appeared?"
Jun Yi under the ring was a little curious, and then he felt a familiar space fluctuation. He looked up and saw that Gu Douluo was smiling at him on the seat below the platform.
"It's Grandpa Gu, then it's okay." Seeing Gu Douluo's arrival, Jun Yi knew that it was Gu Douluo who brought Ning Fengzhi to the platform.
With the appearance of Ning Fengzhi, applause appeared again in the venue, and more attention was paid. After all, Ning Fengzhi can be said to be the top auxiliary soul master in the soul master world. Who doesn't want to see his style?
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, and the same gentle voice was transmitted to everyone's ears through soul power, "I am very happy to be invited as a guest at the opening of the exchange competition. Whether you are the players participating in the competition or the audience in the spectator seats, you are all the fresh blood of our Tiandou Empire soul master world in the future. I hope you can achieve brilliant results in the future and create good results together."
As Ning Fengzhi uttered the last few words, it immediately attracted warm applause in the venue.
"Of course, as the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, I will definitely not come here in vain. Each participating student will also receive 500 gold soul coins sponsored by our Seven Treasures Glazed Sect as a reward. In addition, the first place in this competition, our Seven Treasures Glazed Sect has also prepared a soul bone as the first prize of this competition. I hope that all students can work hard and strive to win the first place."
As soon as these words came out, the square was suddenly agitated. Although everyone present knew that the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect was rich, they did not expect Ning Fengzhi to take out a soul bone as the first prize of the exchange competition. You know, it is a soul bone! It is priceless and has no market.
"Why is the first prize of a competition all soul bones? Am I in a fake Douluo Continent? I remember that there were not many soul bones in the original book. Why are soul bones like cabbage everywhere in my place?"
Jun Yi complained in his heart, and saw Ning Fengzhi raise his hand slightly, and a soul bone similar to a torso emitting a faint purple light appeared in the palm of Ning Fengzhi's hand.
"This soul bone comes from a human-faced demon spider that is more than 90 years old. Although its age is a little low, this soul bone is a rare trunk bone, which can make up for the lack of age to a certain extent." Ning Fengzhi explained to everyone.
"So it is this. I didn't expect Rongrong to give it to Uncle Ning in the end. The little girl is getting more and more sensible. This soul bone is indeed suitable for reward. It is rare but old. It is tasteless to Uncle Ning, but it is a pity to throw it away. But for students, this is an excellent reward." Jun Yi figured out everything after seeing the soul bone in Ning Fengzhi's hand.
On the high platform, Xue Qinghe announced with a smile: "I declare that this competition officially begins. Please invite all the contestants from the academy to come on stage."
As soon as the voice fell, Jun Yi and his party stood up and walked towards the stage. Because the academy was co-founded by the royal family, Jun Yi and others took the stage first.
Jun Yi and his party of seven people plus Qin Minglong, a total of eight people, came to the stage under the attention of everyone and stood in the most central area of the stage.
Then came the Tiandou Team 2. They and Team 1 went on stage one after another. However, the location of Team 2 was far away from Jun Yi and his team. The two teams were clearly separated, about ten meters apart. It was obvious that the two teams were not that familiar with each other.
Then other colleges came on stage one after another. The Four Elements College, Shenfeng, Chihuo, Tianshui, and Lei Ting College came on stage in turn, followed by Xiangjia College, Yishou College, and Canghui College, a total of ten colleges. All the colleges with some reputations in the original book participated in this competition.
Then the referee walked onto the stage and asked the captains of each college team to draw lots. Because Yu Tianheng was injured and not there, Jun Yi's vice captain Dugu Yan came forward to draw lots.
This team competition was divided into three groups, each with three colleges. The remaining college will be directly bye and advance to the next round. The groups will compete against each other in pairs, and the one with the highest score will advance to the next round.
Dugu Yan was very lucky and did not draw a bye, but her opponents in the group had a rookie, Canghui College and Lei Ting College. The Divine Wind Academy and the Blazing Fire Academy were divided into different groups. The Tianshui Academy was given a bye and advanced directly to the next round.
After the draw ceremony was over, everyone left the arena and returned to the competition lounge in the audience, waiting for the competition to begin.
Jun Yi was extremely curious, because from beginning to end, no one had mentioned the basic information about the individual competition of this exchange competition, not even any rewards, as if this exchange competition only had a team competition.
"Teacher Qin, why didn't you hear anyone mention the draw or rewards for the individual competition?" Jun Yi was curious about his team leader Qin Ming.
"It should be announced soon. There are some changes to this individual competition. I'm afraid you may have to suffer." Qin Ming looked at Jun Yi with some sympathy.
"What's the problem? What happened?" Before Jun Yi could ask clearly, Xue Qinghe on the high platform walked forward and raised the soul guide microphone again.
"There have been some changes to the individual competition of this exchange competition, which may cause dissatisfaction among everyone. Please understand."
Xue Qinghe looked at Jun Yi with a little apology in his eyes, and Jun Yi immediately felt something was wrong.
Xue Qinghe continued: "For this individual competition, I think we should still choose the form of a challenge, but this time the players will participate as individuals, not representing their own colleges."
After hearing the word "challenge", Jun Yi had an outrageous guess in his mind: "Does it mean that I have to defend the challenge alone to the end?"
"This challenge will last for two and a half hours. After the time is up, the player standing on the stage will win the individual competition. In other words, there will only be one winner in this individual competition."
Hearing this, Jun Yi had only one thought in his heart: "I was fooled again!"
