Chapter 279: Chapter 278: Blood-Spraying Dog Head
By listening, Tang San discovered one good thing about the most brutal team battles. If a team could achieve ten consecutive victories, then all the surviving contestants within the team could be elevated to noble status. No matter the race, all were treated the same. This was much simpler than a vassal having to achieve a hundred consecutive wins in individual matches.
The minimum number of people for team battle registration was three, and the maximum was ten.
The number of people you register with will be matched with the same number of opponents during the competition.
Without finalizing his team\'s lineup, nor registering directly, Tang San walked out of the queue. His departure prompted laughter around him. There were quite a few calls of "coward" and the like. But clearly, those who came here to register were accustomed to such scenarios. It was not uncommon for those who impulsively wanted to earn money through competitions to lose their nerve when it came to registration.
Approaching Wu Bingji and Du Bai, Tang San gestured toward the registration desk and said, "There are two ways to obtain a noble status, one is to win a hundred consecutive individual matches, and the other is to win ten consecutive team battles. A team battle only ends with the annihilation of one side. At least, the opponents have to be completely incapacitated, but in most cases, they end up being killed outright."
Wu Bingji said, "You mean, we participate in a team battle."
"Just do it," Du Bai said as he swung his fist.
"Get lost, what\'s it got to do with you?" Tang San said irritably.
"Of course, you have to take me along! At worst I won\'t use my bloodline power, can\'t I just win by lying down?" Du Bai said with a wronged expression.
"How can you be so brazen about such shamelessness?" Wu Bingji said indignantly.
Du Bai chuckled and said, "This is my trust in you guys! I believe you are enough. Let\'s call up Gu Li and Chengzi, the five of us are enough. It\'s perfect for the team battle. Afterwards, we\'ll go to the Ancestral Court together, how delightful!"
"Xiao Tang, I think it\'s feasible too," Wu Bingji said, his eyes gleaming at Tang San, looking eager to try.
Tang San said with a wry smile, "There are certain risks involved, and the teachers won\'t agree."
"Is it that you don\'t trust your own strength or ours? I\'ve mastered the Mother-Son Soul-Chasing Ball," Wu Bingji said, his passion for battle was justified. Over the past year, he had practiced diligently, not only reaching the Eighth Stage in his cultivation base but also taking several steps forward in ice element control. He was quite confident in his current strength.
"Let\'s go back and discuss it first. We have to consult with the teachers," Tang San said.
Of course, he was inclined towards team battles in his heart since saving time was most crucial.
Apart from Du Bai\'s Heavenly Fox Transformation, which couldn\'t be revealed, exposing the abilities of other partners was not much of an issue, as active registrants for the competition, who were not from the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, were allowed to wear masks to conceal their real identities during the competition.
"Let\'s go!" Du Bai said as he strode out in front, more proactive than Tang San and Wu Bingji despite wanting to win by lying down.
Upon returning to Redemption Academy, Tang San went straight to see Zhang Haoxuan, while Wu Bingji went to find his own teacher, Guan Longjiang. Participating in battles at the Grand Animal Fighting Arena required the approval of their respective teachers.
"Are you confident?" Zhang Haoxuan asked Tang San, who stood before him.
"Considering not fully revealing my various abilities, the chances are about eighty percent. If I selectively reveal them, then it\'s over ninety percent. Fully revealed, ninety-nine percent. If it\'s just to bring everyone back safely, I am one hundred percent confident," Tang San replied.
The Grand Animal Fighting Arena did not allow the presence of divine-ranked fighters; this was a rule set by the Ancestral Court. And below deity level, with his current foundation, there really wasn\'t anything to fear.
Zhang Haoxuan nodded and said, "But this is a matter of great significance. All of you are too important to both the academy and the organization. Although I\'m in charge of the entire academy, it\'s not something I can decide on my own. You still have to find a way to convince the other teachers."
Tang San said, "I do have an idea. See if it\'s feasible." He whispered a few words into Zhang Haoxuan\'s ear.
Zhang Haoxuan\'s facial expression immediately became rich with emotion and then turned somewhat strange, "I think it\'s doable! Let\'s go with that. Hahaha. You guys better put in the effort!"
Tang San couldn\'t help but show a slight smile as well.
By the time he and Zhang Haoxuan returned to Redemption Academy, as soon as they entered, they saw Guan Longjiang waiting with a grim expression.
When he saw Tang San, his face darkened even more, "Tang San, have you lost your mind?"
"Old Guan, don\'t get angry. Calm down first," Zhang Haoxuan hurriedly said.
"Calm down? How can I calm down? Your precious disciple is leading our core members to their death, and you want me to calm down? Is this what you\'ve taught him?" Guan Longjiang held back the urge to curse and said angrily.
Wu Bingji peeked out from a distance, and his somewhat embarrassed appearance suggested that he certainly got a scolding.
In fact, it was worse than a scolding; as soon as he brought up their plan to Guan Longjiang, he was berated severely.
"He doesn\'t know what the Grand Animal Fighting Arena is, and neither do you? Huh?" Guan Longjiang pointed at Zhang Haoxuan\'s nose, bursting with rage, "That place is not just a den of filth but also full of bloodshed and cruelty. They will never allow what they consider lower-rank species to become nobles. Group battles are a fight to the death. Are you trying to destroy the great situation we\'ve cultivated over many years? This disciple of yours is usually nowhere to be seen, and the minute he shows up, he creates this mess. If he wants to die, let him go alone and not drag the academy down with him."
"That\'s enough!" Zhang Haoxuan said irritably: "Just calm down and let me speak."
Guan Longjiang\'s voice was loud enough to draw other teachers and students out.
"Old Guan, don\'t be angry, what\'s going on?" Mu Enqing was the first to try and smooth things over.
Guan Longjiang\'s lips buzzed as he relayed the situation to him telepathically.
"What? Have they gone mad?" Mu Enqing was shocked as well, and his view of Tang San also started to take on a hint of hostility.
"Can\'t you listen to what I have to say?" Zhang Haoxuan\'s face darkened, and the authority of an elder suddenly burst forth.
Si Ru, looking completely at ease, had just walked out of his room, but didn\'t approach the group, instead observing the situation with the air of someone watching a drama unfold.
"You talk then. Are you the one who instructed them?" Guan Longjiang was still far from appeased.
Zhang Haoxuan spoke calmly: "Of course, the idea came from those few youngsters themselves. However, I think it is not without feasibility. You all understand how important noble status is. If we humans could have noble status, many things would become much easier. And the avenues to obtain noble status are very limited. Facing us, the Grand Animal Fighting Arena is the most direct method. If we have enough strength, it\'s not impossible, right?"
"No way! Do you want them to go to their deaths?" Guan Longjiang said angrily.
Zhang Haoxuan said, "Why are you so impulsive today? Don\'t rush, listen to me."
As he spoke, Zhang Haoxuan continued, "I also disagree with them participating in the group battle. As you said, it\'s too dangerous. And they are our most core disciples after all. But Tang San told me that if they can prove their strength, I should allow them to compete. That is to say, they believe they have the confidence to face the challenges of the Grand Animal Fighting Arena\'s group battle."
"How will they prove it?" Mu Enqing asked with curiosity.
