My Card Beast Taming Game

As the list was announced, small-scale disturbances broke out in several places within the Shen Du Temple.

It was the negative emotions of the unsuccessful candidates that exploded.

The school was already used to this and had arranged for people to comfort and restrain the student in advance.

Most of the explosions occurred among fourth-year students who had just finished their final year of selection and were now facing elimination. In their anger and frustration, they were prone to taking extreme measures.

Unfortunately, it didn't make much of a splash at the Divine Capital Academy.

For these students, Shendu Academy generally uses admonition as the main approach, with appropriate minor punishments.

Most of the time, the school is very gentle with these inexperienced students and will not let them experience the cruelty of real society in advance.

Along with the substitute list, the special training week plan given by Chongxuan, the head coach of the school team, was also posted.

In the second week of October, he planned to hold a training camp with several major clubs in Shanghai to improve the overall level of the school team through practice, combat, and other aspects.

All regulars and substitutes must participate, including first-year students.

Will it interfere with my studies?

The school awards you so many credits, they're not just for show.

The third week of October is the opening ceremony of the Youth Championships – the Autumn Championships.

The Autumn Tournament, also known as the Regional Promotion Tournament, divides the Card Master Academy and Clubs in the three capitals, six states, and ten islands of Zhuxia into six major regions, from which sixty-four teams will be selected to advance to the Zhuxia region.

Undoubtedly, the various clubs jointly established by established families are also participants in the Youth Championship.

With the age limit for participants relaxed to 25, gifted students from various universities will encounter many old friends they haven't met since graduation.

This year, Shintoin has been categorized into the Shin-Sakura-Hōrai region, and will face numerous card master academies and clubs from Sakurajima and Hōrai Island as their external rivals.

There should be hundreds...

It's basically not challenging.

While Shendu Academy is at the bottom of the three major academies, that only applies to the three major academies. They may not win the overall championship, but that doesn't mean they can't even beat local universities.

Therefore, the autumn tournament is basically used to train the substitute players, allowing the coaches of the school team to judge which of the selected students can be used in the summer finals and the global finals.

Team competitions that require coordination are special, allowing students to discuss and decide on suitable teammates with their coaches.

It was precisely because of this that Su Xuanzhen began to select people.

Otherwise, if he spends all his time choosing and the coach doesn't assign him a role, wouldn't he just become a clown?

Chapter 188: School Team Assembles (39/224)

Wednesday morning during the long break between classes.

Zhou Chen saw the message in the school team group that everyone should gather at 1 p.m.

The neatly arranged list of received messages made him feel as if he were back in a past life, so he hurriedly replied with a message of receipt, only to watch helplessly as his message was drowned out by the others.

"Now we can finally figure out which way the school team's door opens."

He smiled.

The Chow Chow tilted its head and said, "A group text message? Looks like you'll be seeing your teammates from this year soon."

Zhou Chen nodded. Of the twelve current regular players, there were still six he didn't recognize.

Of these six people, three are from the Sports Academy, one of whom is Shan Jiashu, the Minister of the Academic Department; the other three are students from the Array Domain Academy, who mainly participate in array domain competitions and do not participate in the Youth Championship.

According to the information on the Palm God Treasure Forum, a domain-based competition just ended a couple of days ago, and the Divine Capital Academy rightfully won the championship.

The school also gave the three of them a great reward.

Zhou Chen was somewhat envious, but he would most likely find it difficult to qualify for a domain-based competition in his first year, as this kind of competition requires more time and experience than competitive sports.

The Chow Chow warned, "You'd better be prepared, the coaches and assistant coaches on the school team aren't as gentle as we are."

The school team actually has nearly 100 members, including 62 student players, one head coach, seven coaches, and 20 assistant coaches!

Why are there so many teaching assistants?

The fundamental reason is that they are actually players from the previous and the year before that graduating class of the school team.

Students selected for the school team can generally join the Myriad Laws Sect and receive a mission, provided they are willing.

Nurturing the next generation!

Of course, not all graduating students from the school team will become teaching assistants; their teaching assistant work will only last for one or two years, or until they are ready to be promoted to intermediate level.

There is also a huge dividing line between intermediate and beginner levels, not only because it means that card masters will have reliable self-defense capabilities in battles against hordes of giant beasts, but also because it has an extremely high difficulty in advancing.

If you fail to advance from trainee to junior level, you will be on a one-month cooling-off period; if you fail to advance from junior to intermediate level, you will be on a six-month cooling-off period!

Therefore, every promotion opportunity is extremely valuable.

In most cases, 99.9% of junior card masters cannot be promoted successfully on the first try.

Talent plays a role, while luck plays a role in the other.

Once they advance to the intermediate level, they will no longer be able to serve as teaching assistants for a group of junior card masters; they will be assigned to other jobs.

-

12:30 PM.

Zhou Chen arrived at the building where the school team was located ahead of time.

This massive building is adjacent to the competition area, making it convenient for the varsity team members to go to the arena for training.

The interior remains quite spacious, allowing many silver-tier card creatures to roam freely without feeling cramped.

He took the elevator to the second-floor tiered conference room, where a number of people were already seated inside—he estimated there were thirty or forty.

It's all substitutes; none of the starters are here, and the coaches aren't here either.

Lu Qingning and Su Xuanzhen have both arrived.

"Old Zhou!"

Su Xuanzhen waved from afar, but Zhou Chen looked first at Lu Qingning sitting in the front row, and their eyes met.

Lu Qingning then stood up naturally, and waited for Zhou Chen to sit down next to Su Xuanzhen before sitting down herself in the adjacent seat.

Seeing this, the one-horned Chow Chow, caught in the middle, climbed onto Zhou Chen's lap without hesitation: "I'll give you my spot..."

"Need not."

Lu Qingning pressed it down, "That's fine."

The Chow Chow looked at Zhou Chen, who nodded slightly.

"I just don't understand young people these days." It sighed, making itself the barrier between the two.

Su Xuanzhen was about to say something, but seeing this scene, he was stuck for four or five seconds.

Others nearby were also drawn to Lu Qingning's actions. She and Zhou Chen were the most prominent figures at Shen Du Academy recently; they had taken down four of the five student council ministers.

That's right. Some time ago, Lu Qingning defeated another student council minister, who happened to be Han Baobao's "boss," Luo Linchuan.

Rumors circulated on the forum that the "fierce god" had taken a big step toward dominating the student council.

At this moment, Lu Qingning's presence was particularly eye-catching, but no one stepped forward to speak to her, all driven away by her aloof and unapproachable aura.

Su Xuanzhen took a deep breath and handed the tablet to Zhou Chen: "These are all things I picked out. Take a look."

Zhou Chen took the book and began to flip through it. After a few seconds, he asked, "Are there any starters? Are they all substitutes?"

"The main players..."

Su Xuanzhen gave a wry smile. "To be honest, I'm not entirely confident that I can persuade them to join our group."

The Chow Chow with a single horn said, "Be more confident, young man, you have Hengzhen!"

"That's why I'll give it a try." Su Xuanzhen reached out and swiped on the screen, revealing the information of the next selected candidate.

The current school team has twelve regular members, five of whom participated in the team competition last year: Wen Zhaoce, Wenren Shiyue, Luo Linchuan, Shan Jiashu, and Ma Hao, a fourth-year student from the Sports Academy whom Zhou Chen does not know.

These five people can form a team, and their main spirit cards are also very well-matched.

Su Xuanzhen believes that the coaches will most likely include them in the first team, and the chances of them successfully poaching players are slim.

Zhou Chen looked at their information and finally focused on Wen Zhaoce, Wenren Shiyue, and Luo Linchuan.

It's not that I'm particularly familiar with these three people, it's just that their cards happen to fit the team's needs.

Wenren Shiyue is a dual DPS character, Luo Linchuan is a dual tank character, and Wen Zhaoce is a support/DPS character.

The one-horned Chow Chow laughed and said, "You will get what you want."

Before long, the school team substitutes arrived one after another.

Several members of the school team were also present. Zhou Chen thought they looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that they were the same people who rode the multi-headed bird at the beginning of the semester.

Su Xuanzhen said in a low voice, "They are from the Array Domain Academy."

"I see."

Zhou Chen responded softly that she understood.

Two or three minutes later, the five ministers of the student council arrived. The president, Li Feijin, had not yet returned. The group, though leaderless, still looked imposing.

However, Hyunsan's expression instantly collapsed after seeing Zhou Chen.

The injury caused to him by that match is still unforgettable, and he thinks about it day and night.

no way.

He ran for almost a month and still hadn't covered a thousand kilometers.

The five ministers took their seats, and the remaining members, including Jin Siye, arrived one after another. At 1 p.m. sharp, Chief Instructor Chongxuan, carrying the Star Parrot on his shoulder, led a large group of people inside.

They were none other than the teachers from the school team's coaching staff.

Among them, some looked rather young and were clearly teaching assistants. Some of them even smiled and waved to greet others, as if saying it had been a long time.

Chongxuan stood on the platform and coughed twice, saying, "Is everyone here? Teaching assistant, please count the number of people."

A teaching assistant took out a list and called out names one by one. Those who heard their names shouted them out.

Before long, it was confirmed that everyone had arrived.

Chongxuan nodded. “Very good. Some of you are joining the school team for the first time. As is customary, everyone should introduce yourselves. I’ll go first, Chongxuan, the head coach of the school team.”

After he finished speaking, the coaching staff and some of the school team members applauded, and the newly joined school team members immediately joined in.

Then, the second coach spoke up.

"My name is……"

Chapter 189: Registration Program (40/224)

Nearly a hundred people took turns introducing themselves, and it took a full half hour to finish.

Judging from Jin Siye and the others' expressions, they were clearly used to this situation, which was probably a tradition of the school team every year.

On the platform, Chongxuan continued, "Now that we all know each other, I won't waste any more words. This year's goal is very clear—"

The parrot on his shoulder picked up a piece of chalk and wrote three large, flamboyant characters on the blackboard behind him:

[Overall Champion]

"As everyone knows, to win the overall championship, you must achieve significant results in all three events of the youth competition. The individual competition, in particular, carries the heaviest weight and therefore the greatest responsibility."

Chongxuan looked at Jin Siye and said in a deep voice, "This year we have Jin Siye. If Li Feijin can also successfully advance, then we will have two trump cards. I hope to ensure that at least two of us are in the top ten, or even one of us is in the top five."

Without hesitation, Jin Siye replied, "I can."

Intermediate card masters are dominant in the Qingjin Tournament; however, this powerful weapon is not only available in the Divine Capital Academy, but also in the other two academies.

There are even one or two clubs that can produce intermediate card masters under the age of 25.

This is incredible.

It's important to understand that the club is backed by powerful families, but the resources these families currently possess are far less than those of the Card Master Academy. They receive neither targeted funding from the association nor are they permitted to control the largest secret realms richest in spiritual materials.

Under the current emperor's series of decisions over the past fifty years, the top families who once claimed large secret realms as their own have slowly relinquished ownership, much like frogs being boiled in lukewarm water.

Smaller aristocratic families, like the Pan family, were eliminated and stripped of their rights in various ways.
