Chapter 115: Bizarre School Rules and the All-School Competition.
Early the next morning, a relatively small arena was set up near the central square of the academy.
A teacher led the three people to the arena. A blackboard was placed next to the arena, detailing the conflict and the decision of the academy dean, Wang Xiaofei. Two boys would compete in the arena, with a female referee. The competition would last three days. Both competitors were prohibited from wearing masks, and soul-restoring drugs and physical-strength-recovering foods were permitted. Teachers from all five departments jointly oversaw the competition. There were even healing spirit masters on hand to provide assistance.
Since it was the decision of the Titled Douluo dean, Wang Xiaofei, no one dared to object, and the parents of both sides remained silent.
Meanwhile, Xiaofei was still in the dean's office, furiously reviewing documents and handling issues. Each of these issues was extremely difficult.
Xiaofei pondered this, realizing it was undoubtedly a major pitfall. The deans had left all their difficult and thorny issues to Xiaofei. If Xiaofei failed to handle them properly, he would undoubtedly draw the deans' ridicule. And each of these issues was truly troublesome.
Xiao Fei thought for a moment: No, these problems are too troublesome. I need to find someone to handle them together (take the blame). Feng Xiaotian, it seems, had served as Vice President of some Kamikaze Academy in the original novel, presumably with extensive experience handling such matters. But after searching the Kamikaze Academy for a long time, Feng Xiaotian had actually gone to some Hurricane Canyon.
Xiao Fei had no choice but to call in Shui Bing'er, and the two of them handled the problem much faster. Shui Bing'er seemed even more beautiful while working, and Xiao Fei was mesmerized.
Three days passed quickly, and the three students spent three full days in the ring, fighting for three days and three nights. If they paused for too long, a teacher would immediately step forward to read out the punishment and order them to continue. If one of them was seriously injured, a teacher would immediately treat both of them.
After three days of fighting, the punishment finally ended. The two boys actually hugged each other and cried, regretting their actions, and they were about to become close friends. Meanwhile, the Tianshui girl had a hollow look in her eyes, as if she was deeply hurt and aggrieved.
Several deputy department heads reported the results of the fight to Xiaofei with admiration.
Xiaofei touched his chin and murmured, "It seems that this plan is not bad, so it should be promoted throughout the college."
So Xiaofei wrote furiously, and a new college rule came out.
In the future, fighting between students is prohibited, and all fighting must be carried out on the ring.
There are two types of student fighting, one is punishment-type, and the other is voluntary, and all need to be supervised by the teacher.
Punishment-type fighting has a specific time limit, the longest is three days, and the shortest is one day. Before the time limit is reached, no one is allowed to leave the ring, and no pause for too long in the middle.
And no matter what kind of fighting, no injury or death shall occur, otherwise the person shall be expelled.
The deputy deans exchanged glances. "We're a Soul Master Academy, after all. If private Soul Fighting isn't allowed, and if any conflict arises, there's a penalty, isn't that a bit too much? Furthermore, if students simply don't participate in Soul Fighting, they'll lack practical experience."
"Don't worry, we'll just do it. As for the students' practical experience, I plan to organize a Soul Fighting Competition for the entire academy."
Seeing the puzzled faces, Xiao Fei said impatiently, "Let's put this rule down first. I'll think about the specific implementation plan for the Soul Fighting Competition."
Just like that, this bizarre academy rule appeared on the academy bulletin board. Seeing the tragic scene of the three people on the stage that day, many students trembled in fear, and fell silent like quails.
In his previous life, Xiao Fei had been particularly impressed by a quote from Shrek in the original novel: Those who don't dare to stir up trouble are mediocre.
When Xiao Fei first heard this, he thought it was incredibly arrogant and unruly—the way a soul master should be.
But then he felt differently. A group of students constantly stirring up trouble weren't geniuses or mediocrity at all; they were simply fools. If they provoked someone they shouldn't, wouldn't it bring disaster? Instead, it sounded more like encouragement for students to bully the weak.
This was the Elemental Academy; such bullying couldn't be tolerated within the academy.
Meanwhile, another announcement appeared on the academy bulletin board: the academy had decided to hold a soul fighting competition for all Elemental Academy levels. The competition would be divided into Soul Master, Grand Soul Master, Soul Honor, Soul Master, Soul King, and Soul Emperor levels, with both combat and support divisions within each level. All students and faculty were required to participate.
Within three days, all students would submit their soul power levels, and a lottery would be held in the academy square three days later. All competitions would be conducted in a single elimination round, with a new lottery drawn after each round.
The top 32 finishers in each level will receive rewards announced by the academy, with the rewards increasing in value as their performance improves.
The top four finishers in each level will receive individual instruction and personal mentoring from the dean (Wang Xiaofei).
As for the rewards, since the other deans were all off hunting souls, Xiaofei had no choice but to offer some herbs from the Lake of Life.
The faculty and students of the All-Element Academy were excited when they reviewed the rules and prizes for the academy competition. The top 32 would receive herbs worth thousands of gold soul coins, while the top four would receive over 100,000 gold soul coins, and the first-place prize would reach hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins. Furthermore, there would be the dean's guidance.
Xiaofei immediately arranged for the Xu Earth Department to establish dozens of arenas, large and small, throughout the academy.
After the news of the new academy rules and the All-Element Academy Competition spread, the dean's office's backlog of documents rapidly decreased. Furthermore, he and Shui Bing'er had recently become closer, having spent more time together alone.
They had recently been training together, and it seemed their spirits were drawn to each other. The divine-level Fire Phoenix spirit, in particular, holds a fatal attraction for the Ice Phoenix spirit.
The academy's grand competition was in full swing. Initially, the fighting took place simultaneously in dozens of arenas. After the semifinals, however, all competitions took place on the central arena. Xiao Fei presided over the entire competition. On the finals day, Xiao Fei stood alone in the center of the arena and addressed the entire academy: "Students and teachers, today is a highly anticipated day. Today marks the finals of the Elemental Academy's first-ever all-academy competition. I urge all of our faculty and students to strive hard, cultivate diligently, and strive to become even stronger."
"The Elemental Academy will provide fair and excellent training conditions for all faculty and students. I hope that all of you, step by step, will surpass your own limits, surpass your predecessors, and ultimately, surpass me."
As Xiao Fei spoke these words, nine spirit rings gradually appeared beneath his feet: black, black, black, black, red, red. Five black and four red spirit rings appeared before everyone's eyes, and everyone in the audience felt a mountain of pressure.
Xiao Fei removed his spirit ring and continued, "As long as you remain members of the Elemental Academy, I will do my utmost to protect you. I await your arrival and surpass me."
Thunderous cheers erupted from the arena, lasting for a long time.
This was the first time Xiao Fei had displayed his spirit ring in front of the world, showcasing his own strength and that of the Elemental Academy.
