Chapter 58: Eight Generals Seize the Flag
In front of the teaching building of Shrek Academy, people were crowded and shoulder to shoulder.

Although Tang Wulin and the other two arrived early, they were already drowned in the sea of ​​people.

Not only the new students who were taking the exams, but also many old students came to join in the fun.

After all, in the past, big shots like Dean Yan Shaozhe would only appear during the finals of the freshman assessment.

But this time, he hosted the opening ceremony of the knockout round, which is really rare.

Many senior students speculated that the knockout tournament system might undergo major changes this time.

Yet this is indeed the case.

The powerful man in white that Tang Wulin had encountered during Ma Xiaotao's rampage walked up to the platform accompanied by Director Du Weilun and a group of senior teachers.

"Sure enough, he is Dean Yan Shaozhe."

Tang Wulin naturally thought of what he had learned from Old Zhuang: Ma Xiaotao was Dean Yan's disciple, and it was this powerful man in white who was the most anxious last time.

The clear black and white eyes looked at Yan Shaozhe on the podium with great interest.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Tang Wulin felt that Yan Shaozhe's attention was also focused on him at this moment.

However, her eyes quickly shifted away from him.

Facing all the freshmen with a smile, he slowly said, "I really like this position of dean, because every year I can see a group of vibrant freshmen coming to our Shrek Academy, working hard and breaking through themselves. I really thank you, kids."

After saying this, Yan Shaozhe nodded slightly and saluted the students.

Many new students were flattered by Yan Shaozhe's move and their faces blushed.

You know, Yan Shaozhe is a Super Douluo!

He is also a highly respected elder in the Poseidon Pavilion.

Students usually see that, let alone Super Douluo, even Titled Douluo are arrogant.

Where have I ever seen such a polite and powerful person?
There were cheers from the crowd.

Before the cheers faded, Yan Shaozhe told the purpose of his visit, "We have been doing the freshman assessment for many years, and it is always done on the stage. I always feel that this form of freshman assessment is a bit rigid and has buried some outstanding students. Therefore, starting this year, we will reform the knockout competition system, and you will be the first batch."

As soon as these words were spoken, the meeting hall, which had been filled with cheers just now, suddenly became quiet.

"reform?"

"No way, I have been preparing tactics for the knockout round for a long time."

"Yeah, our original tactics are all invalid."

"..."

Yan Shaozhe's mental strength was so strong that he naturally heard all the students' dissatisfaction and whispers.

He increasingly felt that the decision to reform the system was the right one.

Yan Shaozhe smiled slightly and dropped a bombshell, "Of course the academy will not let you suffer any loss. I can tell you in advance that the prize for the champion this time will be soul bones, and two of them!"

Yan Shaozhe's words exploded in the crowd like a bomb. The students who were originally immersed in loss and confusion were instantly ignited, and the atmosphere on the scene instantly turned from low to boiling.

The originally low-pitched discussions were instantly replaced by exclamations and exclamations.

Even Wang Dong, who came from a famous family, stared with his eyes wide open in disbelief. "The academy is too generous. I remember that the final reward of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition was only three soul bones. How can a freshman get two?!"

Xiao Xiao was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Although her background is the lowest among the three, and although there are spirit bones in her family, it is far from her turn now.

Tang Wulin was relatively the calmest one.

Feeling the injuries on his wrists and chest, as well as the reformed competition system, he secretly thought that something was wrong.

Yan Shaozhe stepped back and extended his hand to introduce, "Next, Director Du Weilun will introduce the competition system to you. I look forward to your performance!"

Du Weilun, with short dark green hair, square-framed glasses and a scholarly look, took the main seat and began to read out the rules for the knockout round.

"We named this elimination match 'Eight Generals Capture the Flag'. Of course, 'eight' is just an imaginary number. The participating teams this time will be the top 64 teams in the round-robin tournament.

The competition venue will be the Soul Hunting Forest built in the outer city of Shrek. You will face real soul beasts and gain points by stunning or hunting them. Defeating and eliminating other teams will take away half of the loser's points. The final ranking will be determined by the points, and the team with the highest points will receive a soul bone. "After listening to this, Tang Wulin blinked and his face was not so bad anymore.

However, others became more and more frightened, especially when they heard that the knockout stage would be held in the Soul Hunting Forest.

Even though Tang Wulin, who lived ten thousand years later, did not have the opportunity to go to the real Soul Hunting Forest, due to the existence of the Spirit Transmission Platform, he had trained countless times during his three years at East China Sea Academy.

Compared with the skills and experience in field combat, Tang Wulin was overwhelming.

But what does this “capture the flag” mean?
Du Weilun quickly talked about what Tang Wulin was most interested in. "The focus of this elimination match is the so-called flag capture."

After he finished speaking, a red halo appeared on his palm.

"This red mark will be injected into the body of a student taking the test. It won't be visible at first, but as time goes by, the arena will shrink three times. After the third round, the red mark will be completely exposed to everyone.

The red mark can only be snatched by eliminating opponents. The student who holds this mark and makes it to the end will obtain a very precious soul bone. "

Du Weilun specifically emphasized the word "precious".

The tone was full of temptation.

Qian Duoduo, who has long hair, bronze skin and a muscular body, laughed, "Du Weilun is such a bad boy."

"If we don't do this, how can we motivate the students to grab the 'flag'?"

Yan Shaozhe said.

Qian Duoduo stood up and glanced at Tang Wulin, who had a strange expression on his face under the podium.

Da Hei smiled and said, "This kid probably has guessed that this test is prepared for him."

"I think it's a bit risky. He was seriously injured last night. Although he has the treatment from Mr. Zhuang, can he withstand such a high-intensity battle?"

Yan Shaozhe is skeptical about this.

"Don't worry, Old Yan." Qian Duoduo patted Yan Shaozhe on the shoulder, "Do you know this kid better than Old Mu? Let's see his limits."

"Would you like to make a bet with me?"

"What are you gambling?"

Yan Shaozhe raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Let's bet on Tang Wulin's final result. If he can win the double crown, you will give him to our Soul Guidance Department."

Yan Shaozhe:......

"roll!"

……

On the other side, Du Weilun had already walked down from the platform.

The students participating in this elimination round lined up in a row, and Du Weilun walked past them one by one, as if he had imprinted a red mark on each of them.

But only they themselves know whether it is true or not.

The students who knew they didn't have it immediately felt relieved, and quickly shook their heads and looked around, trying to read something from other people's faces.

Soon, it was Tang Wulin's turn.

He raised his head and looked at Du Weilun's elegant face, and suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Du Weilun curled the corners of his mouth, looking like "I'm optimistic about you."

Then he patted Tang Wulin's hand and left, walking to the next college.

as expected
Tang Wulin sighed.

This has become a target of public criticism.

A scalding red soul power was now firmly imprinted on his body.

　Please read on, I've pushed it out for trial, brothers, please give me some support, it's really important to me.
