Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 29 Arena match?
"Senior Xiaotao, I still have to prepare for the freshman assessment. I don't have time to use you as a punching bag." Jiang Qingtong looked at Ma Xiaotao, understood her thoughts, and looked even more helpless.

It was just that she didn't have an offensive soul guide, otherwise she would have taken it out and given it to Ma Xiaotao.

Ma Xiaotao frowned when she heard Jiang Qingtong's words and said, "You still need to prepare this? With your ability, can't you just pass the freshman assessment without any effort? I've seen the freshmen this year, and while there are a few with good talents, it seems none can compare to you."

"That being said, you can't come and fight me every day, right? Even if you're not tired, I'm tired!" Jiang Qingtong looked at Ma Xiaotao and reiterated, "I'm not even thirteen years old. I'm in the growth stage right now. What if I get exhausted?"

After Jiang Qingtong finished speaking, Ma Xiaotao shook her head and said to her, "I'm not looking for a fight with you today. If you have something to say, come with me."

After hearing what Ma Xiaotao said, Jiang Qingtong was stunned. She looked at Jiang Nannan beside her. Jiang Nannan patted her hand and said, "Go ahead, don't be afraid. Senior Sister won't hurt you."

Jiang Qingtong wasn't afraid, she just didn't know what else Ma Xiaotao could ask her for besides fighting? Although they said they were taught by the same master, Yan Shaozhe and she knew very well that she was not Yan Shaozhe's disciple in the strict sense.

Jiang Qingtong followed Ma Xiaotao into an office in the teaching building. Cai Meir, Zhou Yi, Wang Yan and others were already there. When they saw Ma Xiaotao bringing Jiang Qingtong over, Zhou Yi stood up and said, "Qingtong, come and sit here."

Jiang Qingtong was confused. Zhou Yi pressed her down on the chair and she asked in confusion, "What's going on? Is this a trial by three judges?"

"You kid, are you kidding me?" Cai Meir shook her head helplessly and said, "I have something to discuss with you, so I asked Xiao Tao to call you over."

"Things? What things?"

Jiang Qingtong looked at them in confusion.

Wang Yan stepped forward and said, "Student Jiang, I learned from Dean Yan that you have several high-level defensive soul guides on you. Don't get me wrong, according to the school regulations, freshmen are not allowed to use soul guides during the assessment..."

Jiang Qingtong listened to Wang Yan's words, nodded slightly, and asked with a smile: "So the academy wants me to hand over the soul guide I have?"

"Of course not!" Cai Meir shook her head.

"I can guarantee that soul guides will not be used in the freshman assessment, but it is impossible to let them escape from my control." Jiang Qingtong looked at the people in front of him and said to them with a smile.

Jiang Qingtong knew very well that the reason she was able to maintain her independence in Shrek Academy was because she relied on so many ninth-level soul guides on her body. Once they were out of her control, it was hard to say what would happen.

Although the Old Moon was given away, it also earned the Sun-Moon Empire the title of the Tang Sect, so this deal was still very cost-effective.

Cai Mei'er also understood Jiang Qingtong's concerns. She shook her head and said, "No, there's no need for that."

Jiang Qingtong looked at Cai Meir and asked doubtfully, "President Cai, what do you mean?"

Ma Xiaotao said from the side: "Dean Cai means that you can bring your ninth-level soul guide device to the stage, and it's up to you whether to use it or not! However, the assessment specifications need to be adjusted."

"Change the assessment specifications?" Jiang Qingtong frowned.

Cai Meir nodded and asked Wang Yan and Zhou Yi to explain the situation to Jiang Qingtong.

Zhou Yi stepped forward and said, "I've discussed this with Teacher Wang Yan. Given your unique situation, the new student assessment rules for the Wuhun Department's Outer Academy this year will no longer be group battles between students, but rather arena competitions."

"Ring match?" Jiang Qingtong looked at the two of them, understanding what they meant. She nodded and said, "So, I'll be the one defending the ring? That's not a big problem, but... will everyone go up together?"

If everyone attacks together, she really can't solve it easily without using the soul guide.

Wang Yan shook his head and said to Jiang Qingtong, "No, you can choose two classmates to team up with you to defend the ring, and the other freshmen will form a team to challenge you. The two students you choose will directly pass the freshman assessment, and the other students will be given scores based on their performance in the battle."

Jiang Qingtong nodded slightly and said, "I understand! I agree."

It doesn't matter how many people she fights, she has a ninth-level soul guide and can't lose.

Cai Meir was relieved when she saw Jiang Qingtong agreed. She actually didn't really agree with changing the rules because of one person, but Jiang Qingtong's identity was too special. If she didn't let her participate in the freshman assessment, she was afraid that she would think that she was discriminated against because of her identity as a citizen of the Sun and Moon Empire. If she let her participate, who could beat her with a ninth-level soul guide?

This is already the best way.

Cai Mei'er said to Jiang Qingtong, "Master Zhuang will personally take care of your spiritual and physical recovery, so you don't have to worry about exhaustion. As for the selection of candidates, you can decide for yourself."

Jiang Qingtong shook her head and said, "I'm not picky, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao will be fine."

"Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao?" Cai Meir looked at Zhou Yi and Wang Yan when she heard that.

Zhou Yi said to Cai Mei'er, "Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Qing Tong are in the same class. One of them has the Light Goddess Butterfly as their martial spirit, and the other has the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron. When they were filling out their development options a few days ago, both of them chose the Control Department."

"Two control systems..." Cai Mei'er thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I think cooperation between classmates will be better, so let's arrange it this way."

Jiang Qingtong followed Zhou Yi back to the classroom, called the whole class together, announced the special features of this freshman assessment, and also told Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao that they would defend the competition together with Jiang Qingtong.

"Ah? Us?" Xiao Xiao was stunned and a little surprised.

"Is this the college's decision?" Wang Dong asked.

Jiang Qingtong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "This is my decision. In our class, besides me, you two have the best talent! So, you two will be my teammates, and the three of us will kill all the freshmen!"

Wang Dong shook his head and said, "I don't! Why don't you ask for my opinion?"

Xiao Xiao looked at Jiang Qingtong, then at Wang Dong, and said, "I also feel that I am not quite qualified. What if I lose?"

Jiang Qingtong continued, "Don't worry, if you become my teammate, you can directly pass the freshman assessment. Then we don't have to worry about anything, just fight!"

Hearing this, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao asked in unison: "Really?"

Zhou Yi, who was standing to one side, nodded and said, "Of course it's true. Dean Cai has already agreed to this matter, and it will be sent to the External Affairs Department in a formal document tomorrow. All you have to do is prepare it."

Wang Dong immediately said, "That's more like it! Let's fight! But, Qingtong, don't hold me back!"
