106 Preparations before the Competition
Two days passed quickly.Shui Lanxin is indeed very efficient. The next day after she came back, she hired someone to build the wooden house.
Soon eight new wooden houses were built, and as more people moved in, the originally deserted area became lively.
On the lakeside, a total of ten people from the Tianshui team lined up in a row and stood opposite Shui Lanxin.
Looking at the confident faces in front of them, Shui Lanxin and Leng Man beside her looked at each other, and they could see the smiles in each other's eyes.
These are the most outstanding members of the younger generation of Tianshui College. They are outstanding even in the entire Douluo Continent. With them, Tianshui College may really be able to win the championship this year.
"I believe everyone is aware that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition, which is held every five years, is about to begin. You will all represent Tianshui Academy in this event."
"In this competition, you will meet elites from various high-level soul master academies. They may come from different empires, but their strength should not be underestimated. Each of them is the future of the soul master world and can be said to be your lifelong opponent. Therefore, participating in this competition will broaden your horizons and be more beneficial to your future."
"Now, is there anyone who doesn't want to participate?"
Shui Lanxin swept her eyes across the crowd. Excitement flashed in everyone's eyes, but no one chose to quit.
"Very good, this is my Tianshui College student!"
Leng Man spoke coldly and nodded with satisfaction.
"Since no one has withdrawn, I will now briefly explain the rules of the competition. In short, the purpose of the competition is to compete in friendship. We will do our best to avoid injuring our opponents, and we will not allow any deaths."
"Once an opponent is killed, the academy will not only bear the corresponding losses, but will also be expelled from the Soul Master Competition. So in order to ensure elimination, you only need to defeat the opponent."
"At the same time, during the competition, you are not allowed to use medicines and food made by non-food and healing spirit masters, and you are not allowed to use weapons other than martial spirits. That's about it."
"…"
In order to let everyone understand the situation of this competition, Shui Lanxin explained it in great detail, even covering all aspects.
After all, the purpose of the two empires and the Spirit Hall holding the competition is simply to select outstanding talents and recruit them in order to increase their own foundation.
As long as you are good enough and perform well in elite competitions, you will be rewarded.
Fiefdoms, titles, even spirit rings and spirit bones may all appear, which is why every elite competition is so lively.
For the vast majority of soul masters, in addition to the pursuit of power, the other goal is to gain fame and fortune.
If you can shine in the competition, all of this will be within your reach.
And because it is important enough, from the initial qualifiers to the promotion rounds and then to the finals, this largest competition in the entire continent is protracted and can even last for more than three months.
It was the first time for almost everyone present to participate in this kind of competition, so everyone was quite excited.
Shui Lanxin and Leng Man took in everyone's reactions and laughed secretly in their hearts.
But when you think about it carefully, they seemed to be just like these children back then. It's a pity that time has passed too quickly, and the friends from back then have not been seen for a long time, and some of them are even gone.
It took him nearly half an hour to finish describing everything about the elite competition.
"That's about it, so you guys better work hard. If you really get good results, not only will the rewards be generous, but the Tiandou Empire will definitely recruit you. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
However, these words were not very tempting, and only a few two people were somewhat tempted.
Seeing that everyone had almost digested the food, Shui Lanxin clapped her hands again.
"Well, now let's talk about the arrangements for the participants. Our Tianshui College does not have any recommended places, so we have to start from the preliminaries. After discussion, we unanimously decided that Xiaochuan will not participate during the preliminaries and promotions. Do you have any objections?"
Hearing this, all the girls shook their heads in unison.
Just kidding, of course they have no objection.
Otherwise, with Lin Chuan's strength, if he really appeared in the qualifiers and promotion matches, how would others play? Not to mention one against seven, even one against seven would be no problem.
"It doesn't matter. Even without Xiaochuan, we are confident that we can successfully enter the finals."
Dugu Yan clenched his fists, appearing very confident.
"That's right!" Shui Yue'er nodded, and stood with Dugu Yan, which was rare. "If Xiaochuan doesn't need to play, and we win the championship ourselves, that would be the best!"
Although the other girls did not speak, their expressions were full of confidence.
"Haha, it's good to have confidence. If you can really defeat all opponents and win the championship without Xiaochuan, I naturally have no objection."
But even though she said this, Shui Lanxin didn't think they could do it.
It is said that the team sent by Spirit Hall this year is unprecedentedly strong. According to past experience, it is not easy to defeat the Spirit Hall team and win the final victory.
After all, there are three soul bones in this year's champion prize.
Since the Spirit Hall dares to take it out, it has the confidence that it will not fall into the hands of others.
"Okay, Xiaochuan will be a substitute member and will appear on the field depending on the situation. As for whether other people will appear on the field, it will be changed according to the situation on the spot, so everyone should be prepared to go on the field."
"There is another point. In order to add excitement to the competition, the Spirit Hall requested that we dance when we go on stage. I have agreed. During this period of training, in addition to cultivating team tacit understanding, we will also practice group dance."
Shui Lanxin continued to add.
The others were fine, but Ye Lingling, who had just joined, was stunned.
Lin Chuan simply shook his head and said, "I refuse. If you want me to dance on the stage, I would rather not participate."
Hearing this, Shui Lanxin raised her eyebrows slightly, but she was not surprised. She nodded helplessly, "Okay, Xiaochuan, you don't have to dance, but everyone else should practice. It's a rare opportunity to promote this, so just treat it as advertising for the college!"
Having said that, everyone naturally had no objection.
After all, they all have deep feelings for Tianshui College, so naturally they don't mind contributing to the college.
"Since everyone has no problems, let's go to the fighting arena for the final training!"
"I don't have to go, right?"
Lin Chuan shrugged, looking very relaxed.
"You... forget it, just move freely!" Shui Lanxin thought about it carefully. With Lin Chuan's strength, he was able to defeat the entire team by himself and did not need any cooperation at all. She could only agree reluctantly.
However, other people naturally do not receive such preferential treatment.
Since it was decided that Lin Chuan would be the substitute, the other members needed to have tacit understanding, so as not to fail to cooperate and instead drag each other down. Don't let them fail before entering the finals, that would be a lot of fun!
So Shui Lanxin and Leng Man took the other nine people away.

"Senior Dugu, now that you are here, please come out!"
"I tried my best to hide my aura, but you still found out. You really can't hide anything from me," a black shadow flashed by, and Dugu Bo suddenly appeared in front of Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan chuckled and didn't explain too much, but his eyes lit up.
"Senior, you should be fine during this period, right?"
Dugu Bo's eyes suddenly raised, and he immediately felt something was wrong, "What do you want to do now?"
"Dean Shui said that I don't need to participate in the preliminaries and promotions. He wants Yanzi and the others to gain some experience. So I still have at least two months. But I don't plan to waste it. I would like to ask you to be my sparring partner."
"Fight with you again?" Dugu Bo's face changed and he felt a little reluctant.
I couldn't let go of my hands and feet during the sparring. Not only could I not defeat this guy, but I also felt extremely frustrated. Why do I do this thankless task?
As if seeing what Dugu Bo was thinking, Lin Chuan spoke again, "Senior Dugu, don't worry, you don't have to hold back this time, just go all out."
"Lin boy, are you sure you are not joking?"
Dugu Bo said in a low voice, but his eyes were strange, "I'm afraid I might accidentally beat you to death!"
Lin Chuan smiled lightly, "You don't have to worry about this, Senior. Aunt Ye is here. As long as I am still alive, I will not die. Can you rest assured?"
"Okay, since you, Lin, took the initiative to ask, then I won't be polite!"
Dugu Bo was quite frustrated during the last sparring match, and now that Lin Chuan has come to him on his own initiative, he might as well take this opportunity to teach this kid a lesson.
After all... in two years, we may not be our opponents anymore.
"Thank you, senior. Let's go find Aunt Ye first, and then find a place where few people go!"
Although a person's progress in cultivation is good, it is still far behind what is gained in battle. It is rare to have a ready-made sparring partner, so Lin Chuan naturally would not miss it.
The two soon found Ye Rong. After learning the purpose of their visit, the beautiful woman was extremely surprised, but finally nodded and agreed. At the same time, she was also very curious about how powerful Lin Chuan was to be able to fight against Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo.
"Lin boy, I'm coming, you better not die!"
Dugu Bo reminded him for the last time.
"Please go ahead, senior," Lin Chuan smiled easily, and was the first to summon the Luoxia Bow, standing with his hands hanging down.
As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Bo was possessed by his martial spirit and rushed over rapidly.
Lin Chuan did not intend to let him get close so easily, so he pulled the bowstring, and several flaming arrows shot out rapidly. With the blessing of mental power, they flew at a very fast speed, forming a V-shaped pattern towards Dugu Bo.
"It's the same trick again. I have been on guard against you for a long time!"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly, and a khaki energy shield suddenly appeared on his body, directly blocking all oncoming arrows.
Boom boom
The arrow exploded violently, and flames engulfed everything around it.
Although Dugu Bo was not injured, his pace was still slowed down.
"Shield?"
Lin Chuan whispered softly, and raging flames appeared around his body, mixed with crystal clear water. The two were clearly separated and did not infringe on each other.
[You use archery to comprehend the mysteries of water in all things, and your understanding of the mysteries of water in all things deepens.]
[You use archery to comprehend the mystery of fire of all things, and your understanding of the mystery of fire of all things deepens.]
[You carefully comprehend the mysteries of the water of all things and the fire of all things, and realize the commonalities between the two. The degree of integration of the mysteries of the water of all things and the fire of all things has increased slightly.]
Sure enough, the frequency of improvement is different in different situations.
Pressure is the best catalyst for progress!
