Chapter 595 Celebration Banquet, Exchange Banquet
Saras criticized Emperor Xue Ye for conferring a title that was too high, as there was no precedent for this.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was clearly a strategy to recruit participants, targeting the original method of recruiting participants during the opening ceremony when Salas promised that the participants could join the Spirit Temple.
Sarath was obviously shocked by the "generosity" of Emperor Xue Ye, so he interrupted when the emperor was speaking.
In response, Emperor Xue Ye said calmly: "The canonization of titles is an internal affair of the empire and has nothing to do with the Spirit Hall or this competition.
This is just a reward given out of appreciation for these children representing the Tiandou Empire.
And I have to make a promise here.
If any of your teams can win the final match, the team's title will be upgraded by one level, and the word "Royal" will be added to the prefix of the academy, and it will receive financial support from the empire."
Under the heavy rewards thrown out one after another by Emperor Xue Ye, even Quan Yi's face showed some fluctuations.
Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount and Baron are the next level up to Earl. An Earl can even rule a medium-sized city.
At the beginning, Gengxin City where Quan Yi stayed was a medium-sized city.
The viscount of a lower rank could also be awarded a small city. In other words, Emperor Xue Ye had given out ten small cities to recruit the young talents in front of him.
Even the Spirit Hall could not easily come up with such a large sum of money, which was why Sarath seemed so anxious.
However, as Emperor Xue Ye said, even the Spirit Hall has no right to interfere in the affairs of the empire.
Unable to refute, Sarath could only retreat, but the sinister look in his eyes was hard to conceal.
Watching the semi-public competition between the two, Quan Yi did not feel any joy at all from receiving the reward.
“Chaos is the ladder.”
This sentence flashed through Quan Yi's mind again. Although Emperor Xue Ye's reward was intended to recruit people, he was more targeting the Spirit Hall.
If there hadn't been pressure from the Spirit Hall, Emperor Xue Ye would never have been so generous.
Of course, Quan Yi has no interest in either the Empire or the Spirit Hall.
What he really wants cannot be given to him by either party, so he has to fight for it himself.
After the reward arrangement was completed, Emperor Xue Ye talked about the upcoming promotion matches.
The qualifying round will be held in a month. This period of time is just enough for the contestants to rest and be in better shape to face the upcoming qualifying round.
The venue for the promotion match has been changed to Tiandou Royal Paddock.
The promotion match is a one-on-one round-robin match, and the five teams that advance will compete with actual teams from the principalities and kingdoms.
The ranking in the qualifying round will not affect their entry into the finals, but it will affect whether they can gain a greater advantage in the finals.
However, these rules do not mean much to Chihuo Academy, because even in an individual battle, as long as Chihuo Academy has Quan Yi and Huo Wu, no one can defeat them.
The only point that deserved Quan Yi's attention was the location.
In order to protect personal information and reduce the leakage of information, civilians are prohibited from watching the promotion matches.
This problem resulted in Su Linger and Quan Wei, who was most interested in fighting spirits, only being able to enter the royal enclosure through the connections of the Blazing Academy.
Apart from that, there is nothing noteworthy.
After the ceremony, the Blazing Team held a celebration ceremony in the hotel.
Although their Blazing Academy had only a pitifully small number of appearances, it was still worth celebrating that they advanced as first place.
That night, Su Linger and Quan Niu were also invited to the hotel to celebrate together.
It is worth noting that Chihuo Academy also invited a few fire-attribute academies such as the Mars Team and the Huiyao Team to participate in the celebration ceremony.
Although Blazing Academy did not perform much on stage this month, it made many inconspicuous gestures off stage.
The Mars Team was not their only target for recruitment, and Huo Wuxie did not limit his target to one academy.
On the first floor of the hotel, in an open banquet hall, dozens of young talents gathered together to engage in various exchanges.
However, even though they were scattered around the venue, their eyes couldn't help but glance at the same place.
It was a small banquet table located at the edge of the venue, not the center of the venue.
However, three people from the Quan family and Huo Wu were standing here.
Especially Su Linger and Huo Wu, who were dressed in casual clothes but still couldn't hide their beautiful faces, making their position the center.
Su Linger's grace and Huo Wu's flamboyance each have their own characteristics, making them a pleasure to watch.
“Brother, there are many contestants here that I know.
Are you familiar with these players?"
I almost forgot about this little beauty. Quan Wei was being held in Quan Yi's arms. She was looking around and murmuring some names.
This little girl has an amazing memory. She watched the game so seriously that she even memorized the names of all the players who had competed.
"We are not familiar with each other yet, but this party is held to become closer."
Quan Wei didn't understand the deeper meaning behind this banquet yet, so Quan Yi explained it to her in a way that she could understand.
That’s right, this is not a simple banquet. Its purpose is to further deepen the ties between the various colleges and prepare for subsequent mergers and integrations.
For this reason, Su Linger, Quan Niu, and Quan Yi all attended the banquet in the name of the Quan family.
The purpose of doing this is to support Chihuo Academy.
The marriage between the Quan and Huo families can be said to be a powerful alliance. Although the combined weight of the two is not as great as that of the seven major sects, the gap is not that big either.
In this way, the merger plan of Chihuo Academy will have a greater possibility.
The fact that these college-related personnel attended this banquet can explain a lot of problems.
"By the way, are you two still planning on practicing this month?"
Su Linger took a sip of the fruit wine elegantly and asked Quan Yi about his next plans.
Quan nodded and replied, "Yes, our cultivation has been in a rapid growth phase recently. This month is very important to us."
Hearing this, Quan Wei in Quan Yi's arms showed disappointment, but she quickly covered it up.
However, Huo Wu on the side noticed this.
She reached out and touched Quan Niu's hair, and explained gently: "Little Niu, don't be sad, as long as we wait until the competition is completely over, we will have a lot of time to accompany you.
Can you wait for us a little longer?"
Quan Wei smelled a faint floral scent from the beautiful hairpin on Huo Wu's head, which made her feel calm again.
She nodded and smiled knowingly: "Yes, I understand."
At this time, Su Linger walked up to Quan Yi, took Quan Niu from his arms, and said, "Okay, you two protagonists of the banquet, why do you have to stay here all the time? Leave Xiao Niu to me, everyone is waiting for you."
"Oh~!"
When Quan heard this, he sighed. It was not in line with his character to talk to others, but he still had to show the minimum respect to the guests.
