at nighfall, Shrek Academy Dean Flender stood on the large grounds, looking at all nine students before him.
Flender attention was on three students.
"has you three finished running twenty laps?"
Oscard nodded and said.
"dean, we finished running."
although Flender didn't change but his eyes has strange light and looked at Ning Rongrong who has a Smile in her face, he then looked at Bai Xiaotian like he wanted to confirm something.
Bai Xiaotian nodded his head to confirm Oscar Words, he then moved to side him and whispered some words.
Flender looked at Ning Rongrong but didn't say anything.
Tang San and others didn't know what Bai Xiaotian said to the Dean, but they can feel something has happened. Especially Ning Rongrong, it's like there something different about her.
Flender looked at Oscar, Ning Rongrong and Yue Xiantian.
"very good, you three can go to take some rest, while others come with me."
and then said to Bai Xiaotian who side him.
"and you come too, i know you still have a lot of stamina."
with this he moved like feather towards outside Shrek Academy.
everyone hurried behind him, Flender keeping a distance between him and the six, and behind him was Bai Xiaotian. and behind him was Dai Mubai, since they have the strongest body's between them, while behind Dai Mubai is not Tang San but Zhu zhuqing.
Bai Xiaotian know where they will go and what will they do, but this doesn't mean the others know, then like he except Flender destination was Suotuo City.
From Shrek Academy to Suotuo City was not at all far, when soon about to reach Suotuo City's south gate, Flender's speed slowed, letting the five students all catch up.
From Shrek Academy to Suotuo City was not at all far, when soon about to reach Suotuo City's south gate, Flender's speed slowed, letting the Six students all catch up.
Suotuo City located in Balak Kingdom's interior would not suffer any external threat, therefore this city gate stood open the whole day. The six people smoothly entered within the city walls.
Even though by now the sky had already darkened, Suotuo City seemed to have just woken up, bustling even more than in the daytime. On both sides of the street, the shops were all brightly lit, some peddlers only who only appeared at night one by one found their customary places selling some snacks or maybe small trinkets and such things.
Flender suddenly stopped walking, looking at the sky, thinking out loud:
"There still is some time. Follow me."
Speaking, Flender brought the five to enter an unremarkable tea shop on the side of the street. The six sat down around a round table and Flender asked for six cups of their cheapest tea.
Xiao Wu looked at that full of tea suds tea before her and directly scowled,
"Dean, our first class wouldn't be here, right."
Flender said.
"Of course not, the place for your first class, is there."
While speaking, he pointed towards the outside.
Following the direction of his finger, Tang San saw, not far from the tea shop, was a wide and tall building. From their angle, they could only see that building was nearly a hundred metres tall, incomparably enormous, in the dark of night, appeared extremely profound. From in that immense building, faint light twinkled.
Dai Mubai's expression changed, in a low voice saying:
"Dean, making them go there on their first day?"
The dean indifferently said:
"Remember, you are all monsters, not ordinary people. Since you are monsters, you will have monstrous cultivation methods.
Speaking up to here, he paused, dropping his voice:
"Your spirits are all different, so each of you also has your own cultivation methods. What the Academy can instruct you in is how to use your spirits even better, help you obtain even better spirit rings, possess even more battle experience, to as far as possible develop your own potential. The remainder is knowledge about all aspects of spirits, as well as the circumstances of Spirit Masters on the Continent. Among these things you need to learn, the most important is combat experience.
"With equal level strength, the amount of battle experience is key to deciding victory or defeat. Only by repeated combat are you able to as far as possible promote your capability to adapt in combat. Therefore, your first class, is fighting. And that place, is your classroom."
Bai Xiaotian didn't show any change in his face, while Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun showing a hopelessness, clearly they know what this place.
Flender continue his speech.
Flender said:
"Buildings similar to this one can only be possessed by Lord City level cities. Its scale can even be said to be a sign of a city's and nation's wealth and power. Buildings like these are known as Great Spirit Arenas. Furthermore they will use the name of the city it's located in. Thus, before you, is known as Suotuo Great Spirit Arena."
"What is called a Great Spirit Arena is a place for battling with spirits, in other words a place for Spirit Masters to fight. Whether it's Heaven Dou Empire or Star Luo Empire, both have places like this, Spirit Arenas decide a nation's prosperity."
Tang San frowning said:
"Dean, aren't Spirit Masters the noblest vocation? Why would there still be places like this Great Spirit Arena.?"
Not only Tang San, Xiao Wu and Zhu zhuqing frowned after hearing Flender words, while The Old Disciples didn't say anything.
Flender shook his head, saying.
"No, you're mistaken, although I also do not like places like this Great Spirit Arena, I have no choice but to admit that the Great Spirit Arenas is an important place that absolutely reflects the value of Spirit Masters. Your thinking is too simple. Great Spirit Arenas are part of a complete system, but can also be said to be a special power. It was founded by all the seven most famous Spirit Master clans on all the Continent, not belonging to either great Empire or to Spirit Hall. It can be said to be a third power, extremely wealthy, Spirit Masters making their names in Great Spirit Arenas become dazzling celebrities of entire nations, not only can one obtain immense benefits, and can also obtain maximum prestige, but also, Great Spirit Arenas are a relatively fair place, here, even if you've killed some great clan's disciple, you still need not worry about reprisals, this is its fairness."
Saying this, in Flender's eyes glittered a dazzling radiance,
"The spirit's rank is a mark of whether a Spirit Master is strong or weak. Spirit rings are even more the best method to express this. But, this is not at all representative of a Spirit Master's genuine capabilities, only a title obtained by one's effort from within Great Spirit Arena is exactly the best reflection of one's strength."
"Any level Spirit Master after entering the Great Spirit Arena, are all only represented by the two words 'spirit fights', after obtaining the first victory, will receive a badge. Afterwards, every victory obtained, will accumulate a certain amount of points. When accumulated points reach a certain degree, the badge's rank will upgrade. This badge is the Great Spirit Arena's token, but also is commonly possessed by Lord Cities on the whole Continent. The higher the badge's rank the more benefits. I will not explain in detail. The badge's rank is differentiated according to mineral quality, the lowest is iron badge, which also is for iron spirit fights, upwards in order is copper, silver, gold, amethyst, sapphire, ruby, diamond. Altogether eight ranks.'
Speaking here, Flender's gaze swept across the five people in front of him,
"Your assignment is to, before graduation, hold a silver fighting spirit badge, understood?"
"Do not think that obtaining a silver fighting spirit badge is an easy matter, Xiaotian and Mubai and Hongjun already participated here for more than a year of combat. Mubai. You tell those three, what the requirements are for promoting a badge here, also your accomplishments."
While speaking, Flender drank a mouthful of the shoddy tea before him. He already established Shrek Academy twenty years ago, and naturally knew the easiest way to make students accept instruction: that was to rouse their interest. Regardless of the matter, if having interest that one word as precondition, then, that was half the work.
Able to be chosen for Shrek Academy they undoubtedly were monstrous children. These perhaps said to be monsters, perhaps said to be genius students, were fundamentally impossible to instruct using ordinary teaching methods.
Dai Mubai said.
"I was twenty ninth ranked at the time I started in the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena games. I have altogether participated in fifty six fights, current fight record is twenty nine wins and twenty seven losses, currently accumulated points are two. To promote from iron spirit fights to copper spirit fights, you need to accumulate one hundred points, each obtained victory will give one point. But, if losing a fight, you will also correspondingly lose one point. If continuous number of victories exceed five, then, for each successive victory, the points directly increase by ten, when successive victories exceed ten, winning again gives a hundred points. Even if points reaches successful advancement to copper spirit fights, as long as points drop below one hundred, this will also cancel copper spirit fight qualifications. Promoting copper spirit fights to silver spirit fights requires one thousand points, fighting in copper spirit fights. Every one victory will gain ten points. Losing one fight will also deduct ten points. Points obtained in successive victories scale like with iron spirit fights."
Regarding Dai Mubai's strength, Tang San still somewhat understood, hearing his words, not just secretly shocked,
"Mubai, with your strength just twenty nine wins, twenty seven losses? How is this possible, your spirit should be a very formidable existence among beast spirits."
Dai Mubai said with a wry smile:
"Nothing is impossible. Great Spirit Arena cannot be such a good place to mix, the games here have three kinds of styles, one kind is called contest, and is of an exchanging pointers nature, also with the regulations is which I just now mentioned. Carried out divided according to rank, in other words it's carried out in subgroups by spirit ring numbers. When you have one spirit ring, then, you only can participate in group one games. When I was twenty ninth rank I had four successive victories, and was about to receive ten points for successive victories, my strength also promoted to thirtieth rank, obtaining third spirit ring, then afterwards I had ten consecutive defeats. Points became negative. Equivalent with third spirit ring, the thirtieth ranked me, dealing with thirty eighth or ninth ranked opponents how would victory be possible. If wanting to obtain consecutive victories here, then only participate in games while you are twenty ninth ranked, after thirtieth rank, halt participation, and after reaching thirty seventh rank again enter games. This is possible, but our goal is real combat, so naturally we can't do like that, so my fight record naturally also has some discrepancy. My points still are not as high as Fatty's."
Ma Hongjun spoke up:
"Up till now I have thirty three fights with twenty one wins, twelve losses, nine points."
Bai Xiaotian sneered at them and said.
"what are proud for?"
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun looked at Their Senior Brother with a helplessness shown in their faces, if one must said who has the most points it will be him for sure.
with his hands behind him and standing proudly Bai Xiaotian said his results.
"i have seventy eight fights, and i won seventy one, seven losses, 71 points."
Tang San and Xiao Wu shocked by his words, and even Zhu zhuqing who has iceberg face opened his mouth.
Dai Mubai Covered his face he can see Bai Xiaotian trying to show his Awesome s to his Juniors now, while Ma Hongjun said.
"Senior Brother, please don't compare us to you, in the same stage you invincible who can defeated you?."
Dai Mubai looked at Tang San and said bitterly.
"he has joined the arena when he was just twenty six- rank, but it's hard to find someone who can defeated him in the same stage, even strongest defense collapsed in front of his Spear, sometimes he just standing there without doing anything and would won, this Guy has earned Title of Devil Spear King, don't surprise if you see someone leave the match when he saw him."
Bai Xiaotian who has put a his hand behind him, heard Dai Mubai words and said with uncaring tone
"they weakling, nothing more who made them so weak?"
Flender didn't care about their chat and glanced at the sky outside,
"Nearly time, we will leave first, I will tell you the rest of the circumstances at the scene one by one."
Leaving a tip, the party of seven left the tea shop, walking towards Suotuo Great Spirit Arena.
Coming closer, Great Spirit Arena produced an shaking feeling even more amazing.
