All of France: Summoners of the Rift, establish the Glory Hunters' Guild

Dean Xiao's words were powerful and resounding; although his voice was not impassioned, they stirred the emotions of everyone present.

The reactions of Fatty Hai Dafu and Horse-faced Wang Liting were the most intense; both of them were breathing rapidly, and their faces were slightly flushed due to blood stasis.

Chen Qing couldn't help but sigh that the ability to incite others to become a dean was exceptionally strong.

The experience of reading a novel is completely different from being there in person; those words that strike straight to the heart can truly get your blood pumping.

"Today, you can show off your prowess in this gladiator cage. Let's welcome our eight main characters today."

Dean Xiao looked toward the other side of the beast fighting cage, which was the backstage area where the summoning students were resting.

Upon hearing the summons, the eight summoners strode confidently onto the beast-fighting cage.

Instantly, tens of thousands of eyes turned towards them, like searchlights, bright and intense.

The thin boy was so frightened by what he saw that he lowered his head and his body trembled slightly from the tension.

The others, however, were still caught up in the excitement of Dean Xiao's words and even showed provocative expressions to those who were looking at them.

"Perhaps you are wondering why those eight people became the focus of everyone's attention as soon as they came on stage."

"It's okay. As long as any of you can defeat them, your names will appear on the next year's legendary poster, for future freshmen to admire and worship."

"Furthermore, this beast fighting tournament has a wager: if the eight members of the Summoning Department fail to withstand the onslaught of a hundred people, their resources for this semester will be divided up by other departments."

Dean Xiao's words were incredibly tempting, striking a chord with the vanity of these young men.

Who among those who can come to Mingzhu Academy isn't a genius from all over the country? Who wouldn't want to become famous in this top-notch academy?

Who wouldn't want to have priority in choosing a partner in this prestigious university where beautiful women abound?

Most importantly, as long as they defeat all eight summoners, they will receive some more cultivation resources.

One step behind means another step behind; who doesn't want to take a further step on the path of magic?

Thinking of this, the eyes of those young men and women who were already planning to make a name for themselves burned even brighter, and they couldn't wait to rush onto the stage.

Seeing that the atmosphere was sufficiently lively, Dean Xiao announced, "Students who wish to participate in the Beast Fighting Tournament, please register at the entrance of the Beast Fighting Cage. The competition is now officially beginning!"

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of people rushed toward the entrance of the iron cage.

Dean Xiao turned his gaze to the eight summoners on the arena and asked, "Which of you eight will go first?"

Just as Hai Dafu was about to step forward, Chen Qing said loudly, "Dean Xiao, I'll go first."

Dean Xiao adjusted his glasses, and upon seeing Chen Qing's face, a mysterious smile appeared on his lips. He nodded and said, "Okay."

He naturally recognized Chen Qing; after all, she had caused quite a stir during the college entrance examination, and he was well aware of the whole story.

The other seven members of the Summoning faction reacted differently when they saw Chen Qing speak first.

Hai Dafu snorted at him, thinking Chen Qing had stolen his thunder, and turned to walk backstage. Mo Fan gave him a thumbs up and said:

"Keep going, my benefactor."

……

In the audience, Zhao Manyan, who was busy flirting with girls, laughed when he saw that Chen Qing was the first to appear. "Looks like these greenhorns are going to have a tough time this year."

The girl next to him looked puzzled and asked, "Man Yan, do you know that person?"

"Yeah, he's my good buddy." Zhao Manyan nodded. "As for his skills... he's just a little bit weaker than me."

Meanwhile, in the plant-themed audience, Ai Tutu excitedly grabbed Mu Nujiao's arm and exclaimed, "Sister Mu, look, look! It's a big bad guy!"

"He's the first one to go on stage! Hehe, looks like this is going to be interesting."

Mu Nujiao stared intently at the tall figure on the stage, her gaze lost in thought.

At this moment, a large crowd had gathered at the entrance of the beast fighting cage, a huge mass of people scrambling to register, afraid of being too slow and not getting a turn.

At this moment, Chen Qing said to Dean Xiao on the high platform, "Dean Xiao, I heard that there is another standard for the Beast Fighting Competition."

Chen Qing didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

Dean Xiao looked at him in surprise, becoming even more interested in Chen Qing. Judging from his appearance, this kid had quite the ambition.

"Yes." Dean Xiao nodded in response, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.

"If the Summoning Department can withstand the bombardment of a hundred people, its resources will be divided among other departments. However, there is another standard after this one: if the Summoning Department successfully defeats two hundred people, then all the resources of all departments this semester will be provided to the Summoning Department."

After he finished speaking, the entire Qingdou Hall seemed to have been doused with hot oil, instantly boiling over.

"Holy crap! No way, if they really defeat two hundred people, wouldn't all those resources just be enough to propel them to new heights?!"

"What are you thinking? There are only eight of them. Even if demons are stronger than mages of the same rank, can't two hundred people afford to fight off eight demons?"

"Yeah, you're right, they're just eight demons! I'm going to pound those beasts into the ground in a minute!"

"..."

On the high platform, Dean Xiao did not stop the boiling emotions below, and the mentors behind him all showed surprised expressions.

"Dean Xiao, is there really such a rule?"

One of the mentors asked.

Dean Xiao nodded, "There are indeed some, but no one has been able to reach this standard for so many years, and over time no one has mentioned it anymore."

Having received a clear answer, Chen Qing's lips slowly curled up, and his voice was loud and clear, "Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Dean Xiao."

He then looked at the entrance to the fighting cage, said nothing, and gently beckoned it with his index finger.

Although the action was not harmful, it was extremely insulting, and the boys and girls who were ready to go on stage were all red-eyed and about to rush up.

Referee Gu Han stood at the entrance of the fighting cage, blocking the freshmen who wanted to go up to the stage, and only allowed five people to go up.

He then went to a corner of the fighting cage so he could observe the entire situation and intervene to protect the animals in time.

"The match...begins!"

At his command, the five freshmen began to draw star trails, but the next second, a terrifying pressure descended instantly. A powerful beastly aura, accompanied by a violent aura, blew towards them, causing them to lose their composure and their star trails to break.

A shadow enveloped them, and the five of them looked up, their pupils instantly trembling.

A massive, crimson monster stood before them.

He was staring at them with bloodthirsty, brutal eyes.

"Oh my god!"

One of the girls was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, her face turning deathly pale.
