After the preliminary round of the Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition ended, Emperor Xue Ye stood on the podium and said passionately:
"All the players from the teams that have advanced are talents of our empire. The captain and vice-captain of each team will be granted the title of Viscount, and the rest of the team members will be granted the title of Baron. Fiefdoms will be distributed to you upon graduation."
"Ah, Viscount, the rewards for this year's Elite Competition are surprisingly generous."
"Yes, these students who advanced this time are really lucky. They suddenly have the title of baron. How enviable!"
The noble titles of the empire are divided into prince, duke, earl, lord, viscount and baron. Below the baron are commoners. When they heard that the participating students had won the title of baron, and the captain and deputy captain had the title of viscount, their eyes became red. If they were still students of the academy, they should try their best to participate in the competition and get a title first!
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate. There has never been a precedent for rewarding titles. Besides, isn't the title a bit too high?" Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Wuhun Hall in Tiandou City, asked with a gloomy face after saluting Emperor Xue Ye.
"Your Excellency Bishop Platinum, the awarding of titles is an internal affair of the empire and has nothing to do with the Spirit Hall. If the Tiandou Empire can produce a final championship team, then the titles of all members of this team will be upgraded by one level, the academy will be given the royal title, and will enjoy financial support from the empire." Emperor Xue Ye continued without even looking at Salas.
Everyone present was surprised. Above the Viscount, the rank was Lord, with a fiefdom of an entire county. Emperor Xue Ye was so generous that he really spent a lot of money to win over Lan Ba Academy. However, if he could really get involved with Lan Ba Academy, he believed that Emperor Xue Ye would be willing to give out any title, no matter how high it was, right?
Salas thought to himself: Such a huge investment is made just to win over Lan Ba Academy. After all, Lan Ba Academy is backed by the Yanhuang Palace, the number one power in the continent. No matter which emperor or powerful person it is, they are willing to spend a lot of money to win them over.
"Blue Domination Academy, Thunder Academy, Divine Wind Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, and Tianshui Academy, you are the top five who have stood out from so many academies. With the exception of Blue Domination Academy, I hope that you four academies will continue to shine in the promotion matches. The three players with the best performance will receive advanced soul beasts provided by the Empire. You can choose any one with a cultivation level of less than 30,000 years."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Everyone present bowed and congratulated Emperor Xue Ye.
Salas's face turned completely dark. Emperor Xue Ye's move was too cruel. He asked these four academies to choose between the royal family of Tiandou Empire and the Spirit Hall. Do you think the royal family of Tiandou Empire can get your hands on these outstanding students?
The news quickly spread to the inside of Lanba Academy. Many students couldn't help but envy all the members of the team. After playing only two games, they were able to directly advance to the finals. The imperial royal family even bestowed the title of baron on them. After they graduated and were distributed fiefdoms, they would be veritable noble lords.
The team members who were undergoing Qin Ming's strict and cruel physical training had not yet received this news. Each of them was holding a 500-jin log and doing squats in sweat. They had to do a thousand of them, and then tied the 500-jin log with a rope to climb up the mountain. They could only use their hands and feet to do so.
"The physical training arranged by Teacher Qin is becoming more and more perverted. I don't know how he came up with this training method." Ma Hongjun complained. He felt that he had lost a lot of weight these days, all because of the increasingly perverted physical training.
"Fatty, talk less and save your energy." Dai Mubai glared at Ma Hongjun and said.
Qin Ming was very surprised when he received a message from Flanders at the foot of the mountain telling him about the empire's award of the title, but he immediately understood that this was Emperor Xue Ye's attempt to win over their Blue Tyrant Academy and make a fortune. He smiled and thought that Emperor Xue Ye might have made a wrong idea. How many people would go to serve the empire? There was a 10% difference in the training speed alone, plus the difference in the birth rate of top-grade martial spirits. Few people would be willing to let their descendants lose the possibility of becoming gods forever for their own glory and wealth.
Qin Ming looked up and saw Ma Hongjun's slow movements. He shouted, "Ma Hongjun, hurry up! Do you still want to eat tonight? If you don't finish within the stipulated time, the amount of training you'll have to do will be doubled!"
Ma Hongjun was so frightened that he almost lost his grip on the rock and almost slipped down. Their soul powers were temporarily sealed, so if they fell down, they would not be able to fly. If they didn't die, they would be seriously injured and left disabled.
In a large forest, Poison Douluo and Ju Douluo Yueguan of the Spirit Hall are confronting each other. Since being on the list of peerless geniuses, his soul power level has increased from level 92 to level 93. During a practice, he accidentally fused the Green Scale Snake Venom and the Medusa Soul Bone into one, and unexpectedly created a stronger snake venom. This made him ecstatic, and he wanted to seek revenge on Ju Douluo Yueguan and Ghost Douluo Guimei who hunted him ten years ago.
However, the two of them were always together, which made it difficult for him to take action. He followed him secretly for several months and finally met him alone. To be on the safe side, he lured him here.
"Hahaha, it's been ten years, and you come to me on your own initiative. Are you going to accept your fate?" Yue Guan laughed three times and said slowly.
"Ten years ago, I was hunted down by you and Old Ghost and was on the verge of death. Today, I'm here to settle the score with you." Poison Douluo Dugu Bo pointed at Yue Guan and said coldly.
"Let's settle the accounts? If you hadn't been lucky enough to run into Prince Xuexing's patrol troops, and Xuexing had used the military force of the Tiandou Empire to force me and Laogui to retreat, you would have died long ago." Yue Guan said disdainfully.
"That's not my destiny. Juhuaguan, just wait and see how I deal with you." Dugu Bo raised his right hand, and a ball of energy composed of green poisonous gas appeared in his palm.
"Old Poison, this time there's no Prince of Snow Star to help you." Yue Guan said sarcastically, and a black ten-thousand-year spirit ring rose from under his feet. "Fifth spirit skill, Gathering of Frost Ying."
After the "bang" explosion, the sound of "swish swish swish" was heard, and a flying knife flew towards Dugu Bo. Dugu Bo's face froze instantly, and he jumped continuously to avoid it, but the flying knife still followed closely behind him.
Dugu Bo hid on a tree branch, took two breaths, and said, "No, this broken flying knife will only continue to consume my physical strength. I must find an opportunity to approach Juhua Pass and use my third soul skill, the Green Scale Bewitching Array." His figure suddenly disappeared in a green mist.
"Well, where is the person." Yue Guan looked around for Dugu Bo's whereabouts, only to see a green light spinning around him. He quickly gathered his mind, and sure enough, a palm came towards him the next second. Yue Guan crossed his hands and blocked it. After the two people's soul power collided, they were both knocked back several meters. The next second, Dugu Bo rushed up again at an extremely fast speed, punching and kicking, but they were all blocked by Yue Guan one by one.
"What a fast speed! Wasn't he seriously poisoned? Could it be that the poison has been cured?" Yue Guan thought in shock.
