Beast Tamer: Super Lucky Starting Contract
Chapter 196 Pre-match situation
The capital of the Northern Military Region, Bukwon City.
In a certain conference room, several high-ranking officials of the Northern Military Region gathered together. Looking around, they were all masters or above, and there were even venerables in attendance.
In the center is a middle-aged man with loose black hair, eyes like bells, and a slender figure. He has the aura of someone who has been in a superior position for a long time.
On the left and right of the middle-aged man, there were two luxuriously decorated main seats, each occupied by an old woman and a man in military uniform.
The old woman spoke in a hoarse voice: "Old Yan is at it again. He has been quiet for just a few days and he is now using this soft knife to cut flesh. After not seeing him for many years, he is still this sinister."
The man in military uniform smiled humbly: "Everyone is here, please let Venerable Chen make a decision, and we will do it."
The middle-aged man looked worried, as if he was thinking. His name was Chen Yihao, and he was a respected person from the Chen family, a big clan in the north. Although he was not the commander of the northern military region, nor did he hold an important position in the association, he was actually the helmsman of the northern region.
"Master Chen, I think you must not go! Old Immortal Yan is clearly trying to lure you into a trap!"
Opposite the three men, a woman among the masters spoke. She looked very young and was out of place among the group of middle-aged and elderly faces.
"Honorable Chen hasn't spoken yet, so you are not allowed to interrupt." The old woman's words seemed like a scolding, but her tone was actually calm and she just passed it over lightly.
"It's okay." Chen Yihao said calmly: "Tian Miao is right. This trip to the capital is indeed not appropriate for our families in the north."
He called out another name: "Yuyang, what do you think about this?"
The person who was called out was Chen Yuyang, also a young master, well-dressed and with a haughty look on his face.
He was originally sent to the south to take up an important position, hoping to win over and expand his network of contacts in the Southern Military Region. However, after the Qilin Secret Realm, the commander of the Southern Military Region, Cui Longhai, firmly supported Fu Xiu and Yan Lao, so he found an opportunity to return to his family in the north.
At this time, Chen Yuyang twisted his chin and said in a deep voice: "The capital is plotting. If we really send the elite descendants of each family, and they really get beaten by unscrupulous people, it's their territory, and there's no place to complain. If we don't go, they will say that we really have the intention of rebellion."
Chen Yihao frowned, looking dissatisfied, and asked, "Then how do you think we should deal with it?"
Chen Yuyang felt smart and confident: "I think we should go and send experts to escort us, so that we can be sure of success."
Chen Yihao gently stroked the handle of the chair without responding. The other elderly people were also silent, as if they were silently denying Chen Yuyang.
The situation was a bit awkward, and Chen Yuyang felt a little embarrassed and annoyed. He asked, "Uncle, is there anything wrong with what I said?"
"Heh." Chen Yihao didn't comment and pointed at someone at random: "Old Xing, you go ahead."
"Okay." An old man with wrinkled face stood up: "Actually, what Master Chen said is not wrong..."
Chen Yihao interrupted the old man: "Old Xing, don't play tricks on me. Just explain the situation clearly to my young man."
With Chen Yihao's support, Old Xing finally grinned: "Okay, Venerable Chen. I wasn't complimenting Young Master Chen just now. What he said is indeed correct, but it was a little superficial."
"Not long ago, all parties in the capital sat down and talked. Given Chairman Yan's character, there will be no more bloodshed. As for the risks of sending elite juniors, one is that they are worried that the capital will find a reason to detain people and put them under house arrest as hostages, which will hinder all parties. The second is that there will be some flies in the north who will take the opportunity to send people to deepen their connections with the capital."
"If we don't go, it will be more than just a moral wrong. This time, the secondary university league has already stated that it is linked to the resources of each university. If we don't get good results, the capital can justifiably cut our resources."
Chen Yuyang was a little unconvinced and a little confused: "Mr. Xing, if what you said is true, then wouldn't it mean that I can't go to the university league?"
Old Xing slowly explained, "The university league is different. The university league is a tradition. College students from all over the country will go there. There are many people paying attention to it. In addition, the five major military regions and major families have already had people from all walks of life. Even if the capital wants to play some tricks, it will be difficult to do it."
After hearing what Lao Xing said, everyone present nodded frequently, as he had already said it very clearly.
The old woman on Chen Yihao's left tapped the ground lightly with her cane, attracting everyone's attention.
She revealed some secrets that had not been made public: "After discussing the university league, we, the venerables, have reached a tacit agreement that this year's competition will not be held in the capital, but in Xingyue City. This new competition was held in a hurry, so it caught us off guard."
This sentence gave many people peace of mind. Xingyue City is on the edge of the Capital Military District, very far to the north. After crossing a wild Gobi Desert, you will reach Cangya City, which belongs to the Northern Military District.
Nowadays, there is a tendency for the North to compete with the capital, and holding the university league here can reassure all parties.
Chen Yihao turned the topic back and asked, "Don't worry about the college league. Today we will only discuss this emergency. Old Xing, tell me what you think. Should we go or not?"
Old Xing hesitated for a few seconds and replied, "I think it's better to go. Chairman Yan is calculating, but he won't be so unkind. This time he must be trying to disgust us. If we go there honestly, nothing should happen."
"I don't think so." A beautiful woman disagreed: "Venerable Chen, this old master Xing has no offspring, of course you can say that, but none of our other families dare to gamble with their descendants."
After the beautiful woman, several masters also echoed her opinion.
"Yes, it's better to be safe than sorry."
"Why don't we also suggest to the capital that this competition be held in another venue instead of in the capital."
Chen Yuyang muttered quietly: "After all the talk, I still don't have any ideas. It's better to do as I said and send a master to escort them. What's wrong with a bigger show? At least it's safer."
The man in military uniform on Chen Yihao's right coughed lightly, interrupting the discussion: "After listening to everyone's ideas, I feel that your ideas are not as good as mine, so I'll share some ideas as well."
He said loudly: "I think we can go, but we have to put forward conditions to the headquarters. The second secondary league will be held in Beiyuan City, otherwise we will postpone it and move to another place."
Old Xing immediately clapped his hands and cheered: "Commander Bai, this is a great idea. It will be the headquarters that will be in trouble."
At this time, a man in a black robe stood up from his chair, closest to the several venerables, and spoke bluntly: "Dear venerables and masters, there is an old Chinese saying that the best strategy is to attack the enemy's plans, the next best is to attack their alliances, and the next best is to attack their troops. What Master Chen said is the worst strategy, and what Venerable Bai said is the middle strategy. I have a best strategy here."
The man was bald, with some symbols carved on his head, which looked quite strange.
He was just a master, and his words were arrogant, but no one present reacted.
Chen Yihao said calmly: "I'm all ears."
"Young Master Chen doesn't have a heroic spirit yet, so why not let Venerable Chen escort Young Master Chen to the capital alone? Young Master Chen alone is enough to crush this competition."
As soon as the bald man finished his suggestion, everyone exclaimed that it was a great idea.
Right now, the North and the capital only have some differences, and they haven't completely torn their relations apart. If you don't go, you might worry about having your resources cut off with justification, but if you go, you'll worry about accidents.
It would not be appropriate to have a group of strong men escort them there. But if only one person went there, with a venerable leading the team, it would be completely possible.
The young master Chen mentioned by the bald man was the spiritual genius who broke through the Qilin Secret Realm, Chen Yuyang's cousin Chen Yuhui. It was also the intelligence obtained by this person in the secret realm that was passed on to the northern families, which triggered the confrontation between the eight venerables.
Chen Yuhui is of the same generation as Chen Yuyang, but he is even more talented than Chen Yuyang. Currently he is still at the spiritual level. Under the personal protection of Chen Yihao, he obtained the complete heroic soul in advance. He does have the confidence to look down on his peers. He is enough to sweep away an entire generation and win the championship.
Another master flattered him and said, "Only one person can win the championship, which shows the strength of our Northern Military Region. Today, Miao Meizi is the youngest master in the world, and Master Xiao Chen is not far behind. The new generation has another leader who suppresses the previous generation. From the top to the new generation, from the present to the future, it is enough to see that we are the trend!"
Chen Yihao smiled reservedly when he heard this. The general trend was not only in the Northern Military Region, but also his Chen family was in the lead.
He is the most respected one in the North, and among the younger generations there are Chen Yuyang and Chen Yuhui, both of whom are top talents. The future is in the hands of their Chen family.
He nodded slightly and decided: "Let's do this. I will escort Yuhui alone and let him understand the geniuses from all sides in advance. As for the rest of the quotas, don't let the children of the various families go. Just let some people make up the numbers."
......
Gusheng University, Battle Society Center.
After Han Haoyuan brought them to their workstations, he created a group and reported the list of these fifteen people to the vice-president, and then everyone went their separate ways.
Later, after the association’s notice was released, the school also issued a notice to select players to participate in the secondary university league.
The Battle Club represents the highest combat power of Gusheng University. After the registration notice was posted, no one signed up later, and there were still only the top fifteen people.
Not long after, the selection rules were announced in the group and the initial ranking was released.
To select the three strongest seeded players from fifteen people, the use of a group elimination system might produce some unexpected results, so in the end the school chose a competition system similar to a ring match.
Arrange the fifteen of them according to their spiritual power values from high to low, with Yao Jingxin ranked first, Deng Jin second, Hao Nanshuang third, and the rest by analogy. Mo Xu is naturally added last.
Whoever wins will take that position, and the loser will be ranked one place lower.
Each person has only one chance to challenge each opponent, and cannot refuse challenges from other opponents. However, you can arrange the intervals between duels appropriately and have rest time.
The school gave the fifteen applicants two days to prepare, and then they could freely challenge each other downstairs in the battle club during the daytime for the next few days. Finally, the top three people would be sent to the capital as seeded players.
In addition, the school also provides incentives to the three seeded players, giving each of them 1,000 contribution points and one advanced warehouse exchange qualification.
The person who was most happy about this rule was Liu Fan, because he came here to fight with masters in the first place, and "not to refuse opponents" was exactly what he wanted. He was eager to try it and wanted to fight with everyone he had never fought with before.
"I have to defend the title, that's interesting." After seeing the notice, Mo Xu was also thinking about who to choose as his opponent.
There is no doubt that Yao Jingxin, who ranks first in spiritual power, is half-guaranteed and there should not be many people who challenge him.
The third place should be the most competitive one. If you are ranked third, you will undoubtedly face the most challenges.
Therefore, Mo Xu wanted to fight the second place first, so that he would not have to endure the round-robin battle. If he really could not beat him, he would challenge the third place.
"There are only two days left. It seems that I have to consume resources to improve my strength. I wonder if Ah Bing can learn "Soul Gathering"... Wait, I think both of my monsters have the strength to appear."
Mo Xu thought about it and tagged Han Haoyuan in the group to ask what to do if there were two monsters and whether they could attack together.
Not long after, a reply came. Han Haoyuan sent over the details of the secondary university league.
The secondary university league completely follows the university league, all duels are 1V1, but it is allowed to send out a second monster if the first one loses.
Therefore, their school selection is also based on this.
This rule is of no use to most people, because at this level, the second monster is far from being as powerful as the first one.
Only a small number of people will make a fuss about this and form some tactical arrangements. For most people, if the main monster loses, it really loses, and the second one will just be cannon fodder.
Therefore, the people in the group were a little puzzled by Mo Xu's question. With his low spiritual power value, he was already a genius to be able to fight with Liu Fan. Could it be that the second one was also capable of participating in a battle of this level?
Mo Xu felt more confident after seeing the rules.
(For some characters in this chapter, I would like to help readers recall that Chen Yuyang was the master who quarreled with Master Yuan at the beginning of the meeting in the South Region. Chen Yuhui was the one who broke through the Qilin Secret Realm Spirit Level Trial and possessed a heroic spirit. You don’t need to look it up. If you want to remember, you can look at Chapter 56, Chapter 101, and Chapter 131 of the first volume of Guiding the Way.)
