Chapter 215 The Friendship Match at Pearl Academy Begins
Jiang Han knew that Lingling's investigation might be related to the death of his father, Cold Hunter King. According to Jiang Han's hazy memories of the original work, the dark red soul seemed to be related to the Red Demon, and Lingling's father was killed while investigating the Red Demon.
Old Man Bao knew how troublesome the Red Demon was, so in order to protect Lingling, he forbade her to investigate the cause of Cold Hunter King's death. However, Lingling was a stubborn girl and wouldn't listen to Old Man Bao. So, Lingling had been secretly investigating the cause of Cold Hunter King's death all along. Now that she finally had a clue about the Red Demon, how could she give up?
However, since Lingling doesn't want to talk about it now, Jiang Han naturally won't ask. As long as Lingling needs help, he will definitely not stand idly by.
The battle on the street was quite loud, and it happened at the police station, so not long after the battle ended, hunter mages from the Hunter Alliance arrived to investigate. After Lingling and Jiang Han identified themselves, the hunter mages immediately became polite. This was mainly because Jiang Han and Lingling were both master demon hunters. After Jiang Han gave the hunter mages a 'detailed' account of what had happened, the hunter mages immediately reported it to the higher-ups of the Hunter Alliance.
The higher-ups of the Shanghai Vampire Hunter Alliance knew that in the past, as long as no one was killed, the Hunter Alliance would not bother with the vampires hiding in Shanghai. However, this time, not only were there deaths, but such a large-scale battle was also triggered in the city center. Naturally, the higher-ups of the Hunter Alliance could not turn a blind eye this time.
As a result, a wave of crackdowns on organized crime swept through Shanghai in the following days. Meanwhile, Jiang Han, Ai Tutu, Mu Nujiao, Mo Fan, and others began preparing for the friendly match at Mingzhi Academy. To put it bluntly, Shao Lei wanted to use Jiang Han to get revenge.
At first, Jiang Han thought that Dean Xiao would not agree to such a thing, but to his surprise, Dean Xiao not only agreed, but also said that a friendly competition would be held every year to encourage students from all departments to work hard in their cultivation.
"Jiang Han, today's match is just a friendly, how confident are you of making it into the top three?" Ai Tutu asked with a smile during breakfast.
Mu Nujiao, who was eating, also looked at the curious Jiang Han. She was also curious about what level Jiang Han had reached. Jiang Han took a bite of his vegetables and said casually, "I should be 90% confident of getting into the top three. How are your preparations going?"
"I think I'm unlikely to make it into the top fifty, but Sister Mu has a pretty good chance," Ai Tutu sighed.
"Who told you not to train harder? If you had trained a little more, you definitely could have made it into the top 100 in this friendly match," Mu Nujiao said, rolling her eyes at Ai Tutu.
Ai Tutu stuck out her tongue and said, "So what if I don't cultivate? As long as Sister Mu and Jiang Han are here, who dares to bully me?"
"You, you." Mu Nujiao reached out and flicked Ai Tutu's forehead, then shook her head helplessly.
After breakfast, Jiang Han followed the two beauties, Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu, to the largest trial hall in the main campus. Along the way, they encountered many students heading to the trial hall, and the male students were all envious when they saw Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu with Jiang Han.
"Who is this guy? Why is he accompanied by two goddess-level beauties? I'm not having it!!"
"That's Jiang Han, the big shot who single-handedly took on the entire Thunder Academy not long ago. What right do you have to be dissatisfied? If you had Jiang Han's strength, you could do it too."
"Pah, what kind of big shot is Jiang Han? If he were in our Fire Academy, he would definitely get beaten to a pulp. Just wait until he gets slapped in the face in this match."
"Where did you come from, you so sour lemon, daring to slander our idol? Shouldn't we sisters beat you up?"
"I finally saw my idol's face! He's so handsome, several times more handsome than in the videos."
Some bold girls took the initiative to come up to Jiang Han to say hello and ask for his WeChat ID, but Ai Tutu dismissed them all. What a joke! In Shanghai, Jiang Han is her and Sister Mu's private property. If these vixens outside were to seduce him, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Upon arriving at the trial hall, Jiang Han saw that many people had already taken their seats in the audience. The students in the audience were discussing the friendly match. Dean Xiao, Director of the Thunder Department Shao Lei, Director of the Fire Department Wei Rong, Director of the Ice Department Han Bin, and others were already seated in the main seats facing the trial hall. Jiang Han, Ai Tu, and Mu Nujiao found an empty seat and sat down to wait for the friendly match.
After the audience from each college had gathered, Dean Xiao began his encouraging speech to start the friendly match. Dean Xiao's speech was very encouraging for the newly promoted students, but it was a bit boring for veteran students like Jiang Han.
Jiang Han stretched and said, "TuTu, I'm going to take a nap. Remember to wake me up when the competition starts."
After saying that, Jiang Han closed his eyes to rest. Ai Tutu, who was fiddling with her phone, gave a perfunctory reply. Mu Nujiao shook her head at the sight of Jiang Han and Ai Tutu's leisurely demeanor and whispered, "These two are really something. Can't they give Dean Xiao any face?"
Half an hour later, Dean Xiao's encouraging speech finally came to an end. Many students in the audience had their eyes shining with excitement for the rewards of the competition. Students ranked 20-100 would receive double the cultivation resources, students ranked 10-20 would receive double the cultivation resources and a magic tool (type unknown), and students ranked 3-10 would receive double the cultivation resources and a magic-slaying tool. Of course, the most generous reward was for the top 3: two weeks of cultivation time in the Three-Step Tower plus a defensive magic tool of different grades.
"Wow, the rewards for the top three are so generous! I'm so envious, my mouth is watering."
"The top three are beyond our reach. Let's focus on how to break into the top 100."
"This friendly match is destined to be a battleground for top players; we're just there to make up the numbers at best."
While the students in the audience were discussing the rewards for the friendly match, the higher-ups at Pearl Academy arranged for two super-level experts to be responsible for constructing the defensive barrier, since nearly ten thousand students were participating in this friendly match. The referee in charge of the match, Ge Shaorong, was a super-level mage who majored in the light element, minored in the shadow element, and secondarily studied the fire and earth elements.
"Because there are a large number of participants in this friendly match, the academy's leadership has decided to first hold a free-for-all to eliminate all but one thousand students before proceeding to the individual matches. Eliminated students shouldn't be discouraged; they can participate in the revival round. The revival round allows eliminated students to challenge any one of the remaining one thousand students. The winner advances to the individual match, while the loser is eliminated. Each person only has one chance to participate in the revival round," Ge Shaorong announced loudly from the center of the training ground.
"The elimination rounds have begun. Participants, please enter the venue."
Although this trial arena is the largest in Mingzhu Academy, it can no longer accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time. Therefore, the higher-ups of Mingzhu Academy specially divided the students into two batches. After Ge Shaorong announced the start of the elimination round, the students in the audience began to take the stage one after another.
Ai Tutu reached out and shook Jiang Han awake, who had been resting with his eyes closed, and then said, "Jiang Han is about to go on stage."
"How can we compete with so many people? We can't just have them compete one by one in individual matches," Jiang Han said, stretching.
"No, Professor Ge just said that the elimination rounds will be the main event, with individual competitions as a supplement. The individual competitions will be held when only one thousand students remain after the elimination rounds. During the elimination rounds, many students will definitely team up, and the stronger ones will easily be surrounded and attacked." Mu Nujiao said as she followed Jiang Han and Ai Tutu towards the training ground below.
"What's there to be afraid of? Sister Mu, Jiang Han, and I together, even if we're attacked by others, we won't be afraid," Ai Tutu said with a smile, pulling Jiang Han's arm.

Writing this chapter was a bit difficult, and this humble author needs to sort out my thoughts. I'll just post one chapter for today.
