“did the two of them fight head-on?” bai wushang was a little surprised.

at the same time, he recalled the lightning blade mantis and followed mu xiaoxiao into the passage inside the silver-white castle.

” that’s right. the rules of this competition are much simpler than the freshmen trial. ”

“it’s basically to measure the results of each person’s pet training in the past four months. the one who ranks last will be expelled according to 20% of the total number of people.”

mu xiaoxiao’s ponytail swung back and forth, and she turned back from time to time to explain, ”

” there should be at least two to three hundred people. the name list has already been decided. ”

“the point is, you’ve already been listed! if you’re late, then forget it, you can still participate in the revival round to re-enter the rankings.”

” but you exceeded the overall progress by 50%, so you lost. in terms of the rules, you were indeed in the wrong … ”

the pretty girl was as agile as a female leopard.

only his voice was fierce and full of displeasure, ”

” many people are watching you make a fool of yourself. they’re guessing that you don’t know your place and went to dangerous places to risk your life as soon as you got an ancient seed. in any case, they’re pretty harsh with their words. i really want to teach them a lesson … ”

“ha, rumors start from confusion, and there will always be more people watching the fun.”

bai wushang was slightly disdainful and consoled her, ” ” those who say that about me are either jealous of me, or have a grudge against me, or both. he’s just a clown. ”

bai wushang had always looked down on the spreading of such rumors.

instead of wasting time talking, he might as well use his actions to prove something.

he didn’t take it to heart. before they arrived at their destination, he continued to ask, ”

“xiaoxiao, tell me more about the rules of this competition, the general process, and who the notary is.”

mu xiaoxiao had a sharp tongue since she was young. she explained the rules with simple words.

with just a few words, he had helped bai wushang establish a preliminary understanding of the information.

the thorn competition used a point system, and everyone would have to take part in at least three rounds.

compared to the freshmen trial, there were not many restrictions. things like sealing one’s natal pet had become a thing of the past.

apart from restricting the use of medicine, talismans, and one-time killing relics, there were also restrictions.

as long as the weapons and armors were within the level range and there were no additional requirements, the master could wear them as he wished.

in addition, taking into account the myriad of variations of each master pet, the competition had many supplementary regulations for human use.

for example, if you were not good at single-player combat, you could find teammates with similar strength to form a team and complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses, displaying your personal ability to the greatest extent.

for example, the competition venue was not only a random geological environment, but also a mimicked gale, rain, fog, drought … to meet the different characteristics of different pets.

in addition, there were many rounds, and the final ranking was calculated based on points.

in short, there were many details, and it was extremely friendly to everyone. they would not completely lose their qualifications to cultivate in the academy just because of a single failure.

except for yingying’s absence!

this was a very serious problem. the hospital had issued a notice as early as one or two months ago to fulfill the obligation of informing.

if an ordinary student were to violate this rule, they would definitely die and be unable to cause any more trouble.

even if they were self-awakened ones, based on the wealth and elite of shanhai college, they would not be able to do so.

of course, it doesn’t matter. it doesn’t matter if you’re one more or one less. it’s more valuable to maintain the competition rules of the academy.

fortunately, bai wushang wasn’t a trapped beast. he had a way to solve this.

therefore, he didn’t feel too burdened and tried his best to collect information from channels.

“as for the notary, that senior xia wanlong will still be the head examiner.”

” it’s said that she’s the leader of the ‘disciplinary team’, one of the two major branches of regulation. she’s often in charge of the overall planning of such competitions. ”

” but this time, there are other ten heroes who have appeared. for example, the fifth seat, the giant spirit guardian of the pixiu. ”

” and the seventh seat, bi ‘an waterwalker, qin kong. ”

“the seventh seat? “i remember he used to be the sixth …” bai wushang was slightly stunned.

after learning that bai wushang had a way to deal with the absence, mu xiaoxiao’s worries were mostly gone. she smiled and said, ”

” the reputation of this top ten is not bad. unfortunately, not long ago, he had a fight with the former seventh seat, mei niang, ning zi ‘er, and was defeated again. ”

” this time, he lost his sixth place as well. it’s equivalent to the two of them exchanging places. ”

bai wushang made an ‘oh’ sound, and inexplicably thought in his heart:

wait for big brother mu to settle the family matters and have some free time;

wait for jiang lingyu to survive the ice tide;

this person’s ranking would most likely fall even further, moving closer to the ninth or tenth place.

as for the fifth seat, titanwraith guard wu xiu …

bai wushang was not familiar with him at first. he only knew from the public clues that his main pet was the ” stone giant ” and that he also had a bloodline talent that could enhance the size of his pet.

however, after a simple chat with jiang lingyue, he learned something.

out of all the ten talents in the academy, he had always been the one who had the best relationship with song jie.

it was said that the two of them were life-and-death friends and had cooperated many times.

most importantly, wu xiu was also the head of one of the four administrative departments of the academy,”logistics.”

in theory, most of the resources, financial allocation, and mission distribution had to go through him.

he was the one who was most likely to set a trap for jiang lingyue.

because of this, bai wushang had to be careful.

after they finished talking, mu xiaoxiao wanted to talk about her ranking and zhu qin and situ chi, who were fighting for first and second place.

they had arrived at their destination.

it was an extremely grand and imposing built-in colosseum. it was oval in shape and covered many complex terrains such as small rock hills, mounds, streams, forests, swamps, and so on.

around it, there were ten levels of high ring-shaped stands, and thousands of people were sitting there.

most of them were first-year students who had finished their own matches and were in a good condition. hence, they stayed behind to observe the birth of the strongest.

there were also the older students in the second, third, and fourth years. they were either there to watch the show or to gather information. in any case, there were quite a few of them.

as for bai wushang, he followed mu xiaoxiao into a bright door.

he found that he was directly at the top of the circular stands, looking around and everything could be seen.

“shua shua shua”

a huge red bird with a wingspan of six meters rose from the almost transparent defensive runes. raging flames covered its body, and its tail feathers were three to four meters long. it was extremely powerful.

it let out a high-pitched cry and galloped down.

its dark golden beak pierced through a tall, humanoid monster with bat wings and a giant sword of light.

he flipped it over on the ground, its stomach was torn open, and it looked like it was not far from death.

“shua shua shua”

a forced recovery light beam shot out, saving the light swordfiend’s life.

situ chi, who had half of his body burned, gritted his teeth and said, ”

“i … i admit defeat! stop the match immediately!”
