Chapter 97: What is Tsundere?
Ning Xi looked at the audience of thousands of people with a smirk and said.
"Anyways, we'll directly begin the first round. If you can't even pass that then you don't deserve to be introduced anyways. I'll introduce others tomorrow. Alright, so the first round is Battle Royal. Now, as some of you know it already, the federation always clears up the spiritual Creature in the Tando Woodlands to reduce the chances of the Beast Tide and this is that time so the first round is related to that."
She stopped for a while before continuing.
"The First round is very simple. Each Sect will send their best Disciples and they can only send one. Those disciples would then be sent in a designated zone in the Tando Woodlands where they will be given a time of 24 hours to kill the Spiritual Creatures there. They can use anything and everything to kill the Spiritual Creatures. Also, I'm not as soft as other organiser so there can be Tier 4 Spiritual Creature so deal with them yourself anyway you want. The only thing I can guarantee is that you won't encounter a Tier 5 Spiritual Creature."
"What? Are you sending everyone to their deaths?"
"She's crazy! Who made her the organiser?"
"Insane! She's completely insane! Tier 4 Spiritual Creatures? Don't joke around, they can even kill us elders and you want the disciples to deal with them?"
Ning Xi's words caused an outrage among the sects and the audience was left gasping in disbelief. The conditions were nothing but an invitation to death. Tier 4 Spiritual Creatures were very dangerous and they could even become the Spirit Ruler of a Beast Tide. Just this spoke of their powers, not to mention that even Elder of these Sects would have problem dealing with a Tier 4 Spiritual Creature.
There were also some new sects which didn't even had a Core Formation Realm Cultivator so how could they send their best Disciples to practically a death zone?
Of course, having a thick skin helped Ning Xi as she just put her finger in her ear while giving a bored look to everyone. She scoffed and said.
"As I said, if you're going to be so soft and want your disciples to be spoiled brats then sure, just back off now. I don't want to send some cowards representing as the winners of Green Silk Town qualifiers anyways. You only have three options."
She raised her hand showing three fingers and added.
"First is to join the match. Second is you quit this year's Annual Sect Tournaments. Third is you can go and complain to the Higher ups of Heavenly Sect Federation to change the venue and organiser. If you're here then you will have to follow my rules, as simple as that."
A silence reigned in the coliseum as the audience looked at everything with batted breaths. Everyone's focus was on the south side of Coliseum as they wanted to see the reaction of various sects.
Shen Yu was sitting on his seat while facepalming. He chuckled and said.
"She really doesn't care about anything, haha."
"You seem to agree with Sister Ning, Master."
Xiao Lan said.
"Of course, I do. You should know better than anyone what kind of world we live in. We have to expect the unexpected. Besides, nobody really focused on her words so they're crying so much. She said the disciples may encounter Tier 4 Spiritual Creatures, meaning it's not a surety. In fact, I'm pretty sure she has only left one or two Tier 4 Spiritual Creatures in the designated zone. As crazy as she is, she isn't cruel to others. She wouldn't just send everyone to death. For now, she is just building the mentality of everyone."
Zhi Yan titled her head and asked in confusion.
"Mentality? But many of them are trained by experts and even experience life and death battles to temper themselves. Is their mentality bad, Master?"
"Not completely bad but more like lacking. If Xi'er did as it goes everytime, then she would have to keep the limit of Spiritual Creatures to Tier 3, then the tournament will honestly lose its meaning. It's because the disciples sent already know the limit and what they have to face, and most of the sects will send Foundation Realm disciples so winning against Tier 3 Spiritual Creatures is highly possible. Then, the only good thing pushing them will be competing against other disciple but not any fear of anything."
Shen Yu smiled as he explained while praising Ning Xi in his heart.
"Tier 4 Spiritual Creatures are nothing but deaths for the disciples. Aside from Yue'er, I doubt there will anyone who can kill them. So, aside from the competition they will have the fear that they can die anytime and that mentality is necessary to survive in this world. The moment you think you're safe is the moment you die. You're never safe in this world, whether it's from humans or Spiritual Creatures."
Xiao Lan smiled and said, even though she knew she would do the opposite of Ning Xi.
"Master is right, Sister Ning really chose the best way. There is also the possibility that some disciples will team up to defeat the Tier 4 Spiritual Creatures, but that is even better. It'll show them that they need to put down their pride and ego when faced against a powerful opponent. Humans can fight against each other as much as they want but they need to team up with their enemies when it's to save humanity. I really have respect for Sister Ning to think so much. She really loves her people and wants them to be safe. After all, arrogance leads to only death."
"She's a half Tsundere!"
Shen Yu chuckled, seeing Ning Xi's behaviour. She tried to look a laid-back drunk women who didn't care about anything but still wanted to protect her people.
Shen Yu knew that if someone did encounter a Tier 4 Spiritual Creature and was on the deathbed, Ning Xi would save them. She was a softie in many ways but didn't like to admit it.
"Master, what's a Tsundere?"
"Ah! That, you see...."
