Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

"In order to balance the interests of all parties, the size of the finals teams has been expanded to a total of 40 teams, and the competition process will be announced soon."

After Zhou Tianshu finished speaking, he looked at Chen Xiaojun with burning eyes.

Chen Xiaojun was a little surprised and said with emotion: "40 teams? This expansion is really big."

Zhou Tianshu nodded slightly with a faint smile on his face: "Yes, Tōkaidō still has 4 places, and this time the Sanjiang River Basin has two places independently."

Chen Xiaojun turned to Zhou Tianshu, his eyes clear, and said sincerely: "Congratulations, Uncle Zhou. Maybe we can meet your city's team in the competition and exchange ideas with each other."

However, Zhou Tianshu shook his head slightly: "We in Tianshi City never participate in such competitions. We are not good at fighting."

"Besides, if we participate in the competition, we will lose our neutral position as a media."

Chen Xiaojun heard this and a subtle smile appeared on his lips. He secretly complained in his heart: You are not good at fighting? Among the neutral organizations in the soul master world, Tianshi City is recognized as the most difficult to deal with.

However, the loss of neutrality is barely justifiable.

He nodded slightly and continued, "That's a bit regrettable. Since Tianshi City is not participating in the competition, there are only three major cities left in the Sanjiang River Basin."

Zhou Tianshu sighed softly: "Yeah, Taiping City (the real name of the ghost city) probably won't participate either."

"One of them runs an underground black market, and the other is a pure assassin organization. People with such identities have never been interested in this kind of competition."

Chen Xiaojun smiled without saying anything.

He thought to himself: People from these two organizations are really not suitable for showing up in public, so there is no benefit in winning.

He paused for a moment and continued, "So basically, the academies of Fighting Spirit City and Soldier City have qualified."

Zhou Tianshu nodded slightly: "Nine out of ten times, that's the case."

Chen Xiaojun's eyes flickered: "What about the remaining places?"

Zhou Tianshu explained: "The two empires each added two quotas."

Chen Xiaojun laughed: "This is good, crying children get candy."

If he were those deans, he would do the same.

Provinces like Fasno and Tosk are stronger than many kingdoms in many aspects.

Zhou Tianshu also smiled and nodded: "Yes, it was originally a compromise made in order to bring other kingdoms together. It is reasonable for them to start to rebound now."

"It is estimated that the situation will continue in the next term, but it is not advisable to add too many vacancies this term, as they should all be filled in the next term."

Chen Xiaojun nodded in agreement.

(In Douyi, Tiandou City plus the five provinces, there are only 1+5 places, which is a very confusing thing.)

Chen Xiaojun quickly calculated in his mind: "Isn't there still one spot missing? Who will get it?"

Zhou Tianshu smiled slightly, with some deep meaning: "No one was given it. The last spot is an invitation spot. The host country, Tiandou Empire, will decide who to invite."

"Invitation quota?" Chen Xiaojun was obviously surprised by the answer.

Then, it dawned on him, "It seems that the College Alliance has also put a lot of effort into the reform and has some considerations for the future."

"By the way, do you know who the Tiandou Empire invited?"

Zhou Tianshu slowly uttered three words: "Poseidon Island!"

Chen Xiaojun's right eye jumped suddenly, and he murmured, "It's actually Sea God Island? This is really an unexpected choice."

However, if you think about it carefully, the exchanges between Poseidon Island and the Tiandou Empire have indeed become increasingly close in recent years.

The products of Poseidon Island poured into the Tiandou Empire like a tide, ranging from seafood, dried goods to raw food, health products, skin care products, medicinal materials, ornamental items, etc., with a wide variety and high quality.

The Chen family also made a great contribution to this, especially the medicinal herbs from the sea, which were continuously transported to various parts of the mainland through the Chen family's medicinal herbs chain market.

On the various islands under the jurisdiction of Poseidon Island, there are quite a few sea soul masters, islanders and even certified sea creatures who travel between the mainland and the islands for sightseeing, business and communication.

This not only promoted the development of the commercial economy, but also achieved remarkable results in military cooperation, rescue cooperation, cultural exchanges, and soul master exchanges.

Zhou Tianshu added: "I heard that the Sea God Island Embassy in Tiandou City and the two consulates in Hanhai City and Chang'an City are very busy every day."

"Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the Heaven Dou Empire invited the Sea God Island to participate in the Continental High-level Spirit Master Elite Competition."

Chen Xiaojun couldn't help but nodded.

He knew very well that one of the important contents of the cooperation between the Chen family and Poseidon Island was to help Poseidon Island establish an academy.

The Chen family sent a lot of people to Poseidon Island for this purpose. After more than two years of careful preparation, they successfully established the Poseidon Academy based on a small training institution under the Poseidon Temple.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

In this process, Chenjia not only provided hardware facilities such as site planning and teaching equipment, but also participated deeply in the construction of software such as curriculum design, student teaching materials, and teacher training.

Chen Xiaojun himself personally put forward suggestions, insisting on strengthening the proportion of ideological education, hoping that Poseidon College could become a college with Shinto characteristics and humanistic feelings.

In fact, Chen Xiaojun's suggestion has a profound meaning. While imparting knowledge, Poseidon Academy has become, to some extent, a base for spreading specific ideas. It also quietly sows the seeds of moderate reform and lays the foundation for the future of Poseidon Island.

The academy is led by the former saint, Xixi's stepmother, and current holy priest Posara, who serves as the dean, adding a bit of sacredness and solemnity to the Poseidon Academy.

The top leaders of Poseidon Island attached great importance to Chen Xiaojun's suggestions, so in the configuration of school teachers, priests from Poseidon Temple accounted for a considerable proportion.

In addition to priests, Poseidon Academy also recruited outstanding teachers from various top families and sea tribes as backbones. At the same time, it also introduced some outstanding teachers from the mainland. There are still several teachers from the Chen family who remain in Poseidon Academy.

As for the student group, it brings together talents from all walks of life, including outstanding young people from past training groups and new students who have undergone rigorous screening. Among them, there are both human soul masters and sea soul masters.

I heard that Poseidon College will develop to the level of Chang'an College within five years and reach the scale of Royal Tiandou College within ten years.

Against Xixi? Chen Xiaojun felt guilty for no apparent reason.

……

Chen Xiaojun asked again: "What is the specific schedule for the 40 teams in the final round?"

Zhou Tianshu shook his head and replied: "It is not clear yet, but I heard that the Tiandou Empire cancelled the ranking competition after the rematch."

"Canceled?" Chen Xiaojun was a little surprised.

Zhou Tianshu explained: "In fact, the ranking competition itself is not very meaningful. There are so many competitions now, and everyone has a rough idea of ​​the players' individual strengths."

"Even if we don't know, after more than 30 games in the rematch, we can already see the strength of the team and the individual."

"There is less than a month from the end of the semi-finals to the start of the finals. The cancellation of the qualifying rounds is also to allow the players to have a good rest."

"So, the Tiandou Empire officials decided to directly use the round-robin tournament to determine the final results and rankings. This is actually fairer and can also reduce the occurrence of tacit competitions."
