Chapter 29: Su Huan Makes His Wife Angry, Publicly Apologizes at Reverse Time Meeting!!
A whole week has passed since the first round of auditions.
The Tianyu Academy, which had been defeated in front of Su Huan, managed to struggle its way out of the revival match.
Also making it out was the Divine Leaf Academy, which had been buried alongside Tianyu Academy at that time.
Just like that, the spots for the top ten advancing schools were finally confirmed, and Jade Wind State officially entered the second round of auditions!!
During this time, the attention on Tianyu Academy dropped sharply, with almost all the focus shifting to Su Huan alone. Although there were still many haters, they were no longer closely related to Tianyu Academy.
After all, the rule of this world is survival of the fittest. Sympathy is one thing; not being able to win is another. Even if given a million chances, they still wouldn’t stand a chance against Su Huan…
However, even so, Tianyu Academy still had the strength to qualify for the main event, but for the other schools, the entire second round was basically just a chance to run alongside.
Tianyu Academy, Youlan Academy, Tingfeng Academy…
In previous second rounds of auditions, other schools only needed to think about how to avoid the three dominant schools.
But this year, a Su Huan suddenly appeared, making it a certain fact that Tianfeng Academy would enter the Academy League.
If you want to take the last official qualification, you can only find a way to pry it from Tianyu Academy and Tingfeng Academy…
"The rules for the second round of the audition are very simple."
"First, the ten schools will vote to choose four champions, and the other six teams will be automatically made challengers."
"Champions cannot challenge others."
"Challengers have one chance to challenge, and if they use it and lose, they will be eliminated."
"If a challenger wins against a champion, they will become the new champion and gain a place to advance, but if they are challenged again and lose, they will also be eliminated."
"However, if one of the four initial champions loses for the first time, they will receive another chance to challenge."
The second round of the audition is about to begin.
The chief mentor is carefully explaining the rules of the audition to the team.
The rules for this audition seem unbalanced, with many loopholes and specific requirements for the order of appearance and lineup, but in reality, the officials do not care about randomness or chance in any situation.
After all, if one does not advance due to overwhelming strength, this victory has no meaning for the local association.
At this moment, Su Huan is actually sitting in the training room, listening carefully.
It is quite rare for Su Huan to attend a meeting…
Because this is not Su Huan, but Liuliu Yue, a top-notch substitute player!
"The rules are a bit different from our White Moon State…"
"This feels too simple and hasty, like they just want to finish it quickly…"
After reading through the rules, Liuliu Yue sighed to himself.
But thinking about it, these rules make sense for Jade Wind State, which has three dominant schools, as they are simply designed to let the other seven schools fight fiercely for that fourth spot.
Unlike their White Moon State, they have to compete in group matches, which is very troublesome.
After all, besides the Double Moon Sect, the other schools are pretty equal in strength, and every year they have to fight for a long time to determine the final spots.
"The online voting is about to begin. As long as it’s a qualified student account, they can vote. However, the result is probably already decided; our Tianfeng Academy is definitely one of the four main champions."
"But I wonder if anyone will challenge us later…"
"If no team picks us, we won’t even need to prepare before the match."
The chief mentor quietly waited while looking at the browser page.
In a little while, the voting page appeared.
Seeing this, everyone present quickly voted for their own Tianfeng Academy to make things easier.
In this situation, although some weaker teams tried to boost their own votes, even if they reached the initial champion spot, they would eventually be targeted for wasting everyone’s effort and time.
One minute later, the voting ended.
The results shown were also not surprising at all.
[Tianfeng Academy, total votes 37%]
[Youlan Academy, total votes 21%]
[Tingfeng Academy, total votes 13%]
[Tianyu Academy, total votes 11%]
"……"
"……"
"Wow~~ this voting ratio is too unbelievable! It’s much higher than the strongest year for Youlan Academy. No one should challenge this result, right?"
Seeing this result, the chief mentor was shocked and spoke to himself.
After a moment of silence, almost all the team members were frightened by the vote count, looking at each other with expressions of disbelief.
For nearly a hundred years, it was the first time that Tianfeng Academy received such treatment and attention.
"No, maybe some people just want the spotlight and popularity, after all, this year Tianyu Academy is not weak, anyway the result is already decided, challenging anyone is still a challenge, and they get some attention and interest."
Daiyue held a different opinion.
Soon, the willingness to challenge from the other six schools was announced.
Besides Divine Leaf Academy challenging Tianfeng Academy, all other schools targeted Tianyu Academy, clearly seeing them as easy targets.
The remaining Tianfeng Academy and Youlan Academy had no challenges…
After a moment of silence, everyone’s expressions gradually became more lively, all showing looks of disbelief.
"Is it over?"
"Yes, our Tianfeng Academy has finally made it into the Academy League after many years…"
The head mentor nodded with a look of satisfaction.
Although it was a little sudden, their audition quietly came to an end.
Next, they can start preparing for the Academy League…
Thinking of this, she stood up excitedly and gently clapped her hands:
"Congratulations to the five of you for making it through the audition. Also, I have another good piece of news to announce."
"The school leaders have already promised that as long as you pass the audition this year, you can pick any rare Battle Pet from the Jade Wind State, and all expenses will be covered by Tianfeng Academy!!"
"If you need anything, just let me know."
"Really? Can I choose anything?"
Hearing this, Liang Xiao, the water-type girl in white stockings, excitedly stood up.
You must know that the price of a rare Battle Pet that has already been tamed is extremely high; many students cannot afford a second Battle Pet until they graduate.
After all, there are hardly any wild Battle Pets left in the eight states…
If you want to catch a wild Battle Pet, you must team up and venture into the forbidden area, exploring those incredibly dangerous royal domains, facing life-and-death situations to bring back just a few.
"It is true! The dean has already instructed this, and if you can make it to the top 16, you can even sell her to support you!"
"Okay, then I want a water-type Yingxu fish!" Liang Xiao suggested.
"No, what is Yingxu fish? It’s everywhere! Can’t we think bigger and get something more valuable?" Daiyue quickly tried to stop her kindly.
"Um, what about the Tear Soul…?"
"This is good, I will remember it. What about you?" The chief mentor recorded it on his phone and then looked at Daiyue beside him.
"Blue Sea Shell."
"Wait, isn’t Blue Sea Shell not rare?" Liang Xiao asked in confusion.
Daiyue had just stopped herself from making a common choice.
But why did she choose something that was neither here nor there?
"Blue Sea Shell is not rare, but it has a publicly known mature-stage variety that has one of the best defenses among water-types."
After explaining, Daiyue calmly glanced at the white-haired man beside her.
Since Su Huan hoped they would all change to defensive types to protect him, she would fulfill his wish.
However, at this moment, Liuliu Yue was having a heated argument with Su Huan, who was controlling her body. She was tapping rapidly on her phone and didn’t notice Daiyue’s quick glance.
The reason for their argument was quite simple.
Liuliu Yue had just told Su Huan about the decision from Tianfeng Academy and asked him which thunder-type battle pet he planned to choose.
Su Huan replied quickly, "Sky Pelican."
Liuliu Yue questioned, "Why not the Purple Lightning Spirit?"
At first, they were calmly discussing which of the two thunder-type pets was stronger.
But halfway through the conversation, Su Huan very rudely said, "You’re not even a thunder-type, how do you know which one is better? Just go play with your gold-type!"
This made Liuliu Yue unhappy, so she immediately freed her hands and battled with Su Huan for eight hundred rounds.
Although she was not a thunder-type Battle Pet Master, she just wanted to point out that the Purple Lightning Spirit’s rarity ranking is higher than the Sky Pelican!
While they were arguing, Huang Yu and Wang Murou also applied for their own Battle Pets.
Finally, everyone looked at Liuliu Yue, whose face was slightly red and angry.
"Su, Su Huan?"
"Do you have a Battle Pet you want to apply for?"
"……"
"……"
"Sky Pelican, Purple Lightning Spirit, either one is fine!!"
Liuliu Yue, who was quite angry, replied impatiently.
However, when everyone heard Liuliu Yue’s request, the room fell into silence.
After being stunned for a long time, the chief mentor blinked in confusion and then explained hesitantly.
"Su Huan, um… I personally think these two are unlikely, unless the principal is willing to rob the Battle Pet Association Branch of Green Thunder State for you…"
You should know that the Purple Lightning Spirit is very rare and is highly ranked on the rarity list during its infancy stage.
The Sky Pelican is also the main pet of the current guild master of Green Thunder State.
Not just Tianfeng Academy; I’m afraid that even if Jade Wind State brought all their resources, they wouldn’t have a way to buy these two Battle Pets.
After holding back her anger and asking, Liuliu Yue relayed Su Huan’s message.
"He said to forget it… oh wait, then I will forget it!!"
"？"
——

Once a week, there is a Reverse Time Meeting.
Before entering this time, Luo Xinglai had already sensed something.
As soon as she was transported in, she immediately looked at the task list and, sure enough, the first task had already been secretly completed by someone.
The rewards for the two Emerald Skills were given to seat No. 1 and seat No. 10.
Seat No. 10, Su Huan, Luo Xinglai knew him.
And No. 1, …
This person had spoken only three sentences or less since the Reverse Time Meeting began two months ago, making her extremely mysterious.
She could not recognize her.
Soon, as everyone in the room looked up one by one, they all noticed that the task had indeed been completed by someone.
[Location: Burning Heart State]
[apostle: Eclipse 19]
"No. 1, No. 10…"
"Wait, how is that possible? The completion date was last week, and the submission interval was less than a second???"
"You two, you knew the answer from the very beginning…!?"
The male Battle Pet Master from Dark Court State was stunned, his confused gaze darting back and forth between Liuliu Yue and Su Huan.
However, at that moment, Liuliu Yue had no mood to answer the question. She crossed her arms and kicked her legs, staring straight at Su Huan across from her, clearly still angry.
Feeling Liuliu Yue’s anger, Su Huan scratched his head awkwardly.
Although he had indeed said something a bit too much earlier, he couldn’t just apologize, could he?
Liuliu Yue is not my wife, so why should I coax her?
Su Huan refused to give in.
It is impossible to apologize!!!
After a few seconds of silent staring at each other.
Su Huan quietly raised his hand.
"Ahem, I want to apologize to No. 1. She said before that she could give me the information about this task for free, but I needed to ask some questions about thunder-type battle pets, and then…"
"And then? What happened next?" asked Luo Xinglai with keen curiosity.
"Then, after talking to her privately, I realized my thinking was wrong. She was right; she is more suited to be a thunder-type Battle Pet Master than I am. I am not qualified to be a thunder-type Battle Pet Master. I take back everything I said before! I shouldn’t have argued with No. 1!!"
"……"
"……"
"What is going on? What are you doing? I don’t understand at all…"
"Are you reading some kind of confession?"
Luo Xinglai was completely confused by the show Su Huan was putting on.
Huang Qiuxuan beside her also rolled her eyes in silence.
Each word in this sentence is simple, but when put together, they become very abstract and thought-provoking.
It even gives the impression that he is kneeling on a washboard, apologizing to his wife.
When he finished speaking, in the quiet atmosphere, Liuliu Yue finally lowered her raised leg, nodding slightly, seeming pleased with Su Huan’s willingness to give in.
She’s actually quite easy to please…
Su Huan let out a sigh of relief.
However…
At that moment, Quan Zhiliang, who was sitting in seat No. 5, suddenly spoke up:
"It’s strange, how does No. 1 know about Samadhiapostle’s information?"
"By the way, it seems we still don’t know your identity."
"No. 2 is that fool Luo Xinglai, and No. 3 claims to be a fan of Liuliu Yue, so their identities are obvious."
"No. 4 is most likely the person from Green Thunder State, No. 5 is me, No. 6 is Master Liuliu Yue, No. 7 is from Dark Court State, and No. 8 is State Envoy Huang Qiuxuan from Phoenix Sand State."
"No. 10 is Su Huan, who just caused a big commotion in Jade Wind State."
"So far, we know nothing about No. 9, who has never spoken, and you…"
"……"
"……"
"Who are you, really?"
