Chapter 59 Prince Xue Qinghe
Qin Ming smiled wryly. In fact, this news had already spread among the students of the academy.
It's normal that the three education commissioners, who rarely leave their homes, only have time to chat during the opening ceremony, so it's understandable that they don't know.
Now that His Highness the Crown Prince has personally told him this news, its credibility is beyond question. It was this news that led Qin Ming to decide to put Xiao Yan on the substitute list.
"In that case, why not hold an interesting selection this year?"
"Old Mengtou, this National Soul Master Competition is held once every five years. The venue is in our Heaven Dou Empire, and His Majesty and others are paying close attention to it. You mustn't organize teams haphazardly."
"In previous years, when we organized the competition, the students would form teams of seven themselves, and the winning first and second teams would serve as the main and substitute players for the participating teams. But I feel that this way, some strong students who are left out are at a disadvantage."
Upon hearing this, Bai Baoshan knew what Old Man Meng was planning. After learning that Xiao Yan was a disciple of Master Yanxiao, the fan leader started to exert his influence. This selection method clearly benefited someone like Xiao Yan who didn't have many social connections in the academy.
"Moreover, when it comes to one-on-one combat among Soul Masters, there are few places where support and defense Soul Masters can make their mark."
Our selection competition could be a team of offensive Soul Masters and support Soul Masters. The winner could then choose members from the runner-up to form the national Soul Master competition team.
This favoritism was no small matter; after Meng Shenji learned Xiao Yan's identity, his attitude changed almost 180 degrees.
"Old Mengtou, isn't this ridiculous? The best team composition for the Soul Master Competition is to have a healer or support. The way you're doing it, you're just creating a fighting team that charges headlong into the fray."
"Who said it's a combat team? There's also a support-type Soul Master, don't you think, Xiao Qin?" Meng Shenji said calmly.
"I think there are too few tricks to the two-player battles. This only exists in 2vs2 team matches, and it seems too quick to decide the winner in one round. It would be better to change it to a three-player team, so that it can also be interspersed in individual matches as match points."
"So, Lao Bai, is there anything else you want to say?" Meng Shenji looked at Bai Baoshan, who had just been somewhat dissatisfied.
Zhilin had always been optimistic about Tang San, so he naturally wouldn't have much objection to the changes to the plan. This approach, however, gave the academy's students more possibilities.
After all, if it were a real seven-person team playing a team match, given the compatibility of a temporarily formed team, even if an individual is very strong, it would be difficult to influence the situation.
"But," Xiao Qin raised a concern.
"Just what, Xiao Qin?"
"If that's the case, I think the qualifiers should be brought forward. Otherwise, the teams will be put together on short notice and won't be able to work out properly. After all, the Soul Master Tournament is a team competition."
"Hmm." Meng Shenji nodded. The competition had to be held earlier. Otherwise, if a group of people with no teamwork went to fight in the seven-person soul master competition, wouldn't that make the Heavenly Dou Royal Family a laughing stock?
However, Meng Shenji also had a little scheme in mind. Since he was a disciple of the master, even if it was a team that was temporarily assembled, Xiao Yan could train him perfectly, right?
Of course, he had never seen the form of Tyrannomon. If he had, he might not even need a seven-person team. What would be wrong with an eleven-meter-tall Tyrannomon taking on seven opponents?
However, that's a story for another time.
Seeing that the three education commissioners had made their decision, Qin Ming said no more and respectfully withdrew.
"Do you think Poison Douluo's granddaughter will cause trouble for us if she doesn't join the team?"
"What's there to be afraid of? We are three Soul Masters. If we all tear off our masks, none of us will have an easy time." Meng Shenji was quite calm.
"Moreover, his precious granddaughter will definitely team up with Yu Tianheng. After all, with their cultivation levels, they should be the best candidates for the championship."
"Then why did you change the rules at the last minute? I thought you were going to pre-select the champion for that Xiao Yan."
"It's still uncertain how capable this master's disciple really is. I'm quite looking forward to seeing him spar with Yu Tianheng. The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus is one of the top martial souls. Who knows what sparks will fly when he faces that unheard-of Rolling Ball Beast?"
"I think you're doing this on purpose, old Mengtou. Don't you think the trouble between Yu Tianheng's uncle and Xiao Yan's master hasn't gotten big enough?"
"Uncle? Are you talking about the former master Yu Xiaogang? I almost forgot they had this relationship. If that's the case, wouldn't this selection competition be even more interesting?"
"I heard that after Yu Xiaogang was expelled from the Spirit Hall, he went to teach at Shrek Academy. I wonder if Grandmaster can still teach excellent students like a master after being stripped of his title."
……
Qin Ming arrived at the agreed-upon location at a pavilion in the academy. The pavilion was deserted, with few students around. Those still remaining at the academy were there for the cultivation environment; the rest had long since gone home.
So the place where the students usually chat and talk about love is now mostly empty.
The blond-haired boy, with his back to me, heard the noise and calmly asked, "Is everything resolved?"
Qin Ming half-squatted down and performed a standard royal etiquette: "I have fully explained the small matter that Your Highness entrusted to me. After learning about Xiao Yan's identity, the Dream God Machine Education Committee specially changed the rules for this selection."
"No need for formalities. I came here privately to trouble you with a personal matter. Now that it's done, I am extremely grateful."
"Your Highness is too kind. As a teacher in this academy, Qin Ming naturally treats every student fairly. Although I have not yet met Xiao Yan in person, I am sure that someone who can trouble Your Highness must be an exceptionally talented individual."
Hearing Qin Ming's praise, Xue Qinghe's face flushed even more, and her mood improved: "Yes, it's been three years since I last saw him. I really don't know where that kid has gone. All I can do for him is influence the selection process. As for whether he can make a name for himself, that depends on his own performance."
"Teacher Qin Ming, you've really gone to a lot of trouble, dealing with these education commissioners."
"Your Highness is too kind. It's just that due to changes in the relevant rules, the selection competition has to be moved up."
"It's alright, this is enough." Xue Qinghe cupped his hands in greeting to Qin Ming and left alone.
Perhaps this early qualifier will actually force Xiao Yan to come out sooner.
Qin Ming looked at Xue Qinghe with a strange feeling. He had the opportunity to see Xue Qinghe at the academy shortly after Xue Qinghe was named crown prince. However, at that time, Xue Qinghe's expression was very gloomy, and he looked like he had a lot of bitterness and hatred.
But upon seeing him today, most of the gloom in his heart vanished, and he seemed like a completely different person.
When the other party appeared in his office that morning, Qin Ming was startled, thinking that the other party wanted to inquire about the avalanche. Who knew that the other party only asked about matters related to the selection competition of Tiandou Academy. Just when he guessed that His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to influence the composition of the Royal Fighting Team, the other party only mentioned Xiao Yan's news.
However, His Highness the Crown Prince's vision is indeed unique; this one piece of news alone has moved the Dream Education Committee.
