Chapter 594 Restart the Soul Fighting Competition?
Halfway through the drinking tour.
The palace banquet has come to an end.
At this time, Xu Han stood up and first offered his hand to Xu Jinyu.
"Your Majesty, today is the day of your ascension to the throne. I have a suggestion."
Xu Jinyu nodded.
Xu Han faced the ministers and said loudly, "The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is a grand event for the four major empires. It is held every five years to provide a platform for elite students from each major academy to show their strength."
"The last Soul Fighting Competition was supposed to be held by our Sun and Moon Empire according to the order of rounds of the four empires. However, due to the turmoil on the mainland, it has been postponed for three years."
"Now the chaos has subsided and the mainland is stable. Now it is the time for His Majesty to ascend the throne. Therefore, taking this opportunity when envoys from various countries gather in Mingdu, I propose to restart the Soul Master Competition!"
"I second the proposal to restart the Soul Fighting Competition!"
"I also second the proposal!"
"Your Majesty, please restart the Soul Fighting Competition!"
"..."
As soon as this statement came out, the officials responded one after another.
The advantages of restarting the Soul Fighting Competition outweigh the disadvantages. What's more, the matter seems to have been initiated by Heng Wang Xu Han, but with the relationship between the two of them, how could he initiate the proposal in public without Xu Jinyu's approval?
Obviously, what Xu Han means is what Xu Jinyu means. If they veto what His Majesty the Emperor decides, wouldn't that be a slap in Xu Jinyu's face?
"I think this proposal is good. Now that the mainland has been decided, a grand event is needed to inspire people."
After a pause, Xu Jinyu continued: "But... the past soul fighting competitions were too simple. Does Prince Heng have any ideas?"
Xu Han suggested: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I propose to relax the restrictions on the Soul Fighting Competition."
"Um?"
"I believe that the academy level restrictions should be relaxed in the Soul Fighting Competition. As long as the age and strength of the soul master team meet the requirements, all sect forces, large and small, can participate."
"Let more people participate and enhance the competitive atmosphere. Learn from each other and make progress together."
Xu Han continued: "And, in order to increase the enthusiasm of the participating teams in this Soul Fighting Competition, we, the Sun and Moon Empire, as the organizer, can provide a ninth-level soul guide as a prize for the winner."
"For example...the champion of the Soul Fighting Competition will receive three level nine soul tools."
"In this way, the Soul Fighting Competition can not only stimulate the fighting spirit of young soul masters, but also promote friendly exchanges between the four empires and exchange their knowledge."
"I agree with Prince Heng's proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
There was no surprise, and all the ministers agreed.
Xu Jinyu nodded and looked at the three envoys, "Three envoys, what do you think?"
"..."
The three imperial envoys exchanged glances.
As we all know, the country hosting each Soul Fighting Competition will receive considerable financial revenue.
But the significance of restarting the Soul Fighting Competition is not just as simple as making money, but involves all aspects.
It is not only a competition between the soul master academies, but also represents the game between the four empires. The outcome of the soul fighting competition reflects the strength and weakness of the country to which it belongs.
The Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy represents the Sun and Moon Empire. Although Shrek Academy does not belong to any empire, it represents the facade of the Star Luo, Tianhun, and Dou Ling Empires.
The war ten thousand years ago made the Sun and Moon Empire realize that if they want to unify the continent, the three empires are only secondary. They must first overcome Shrek Academy.
Therefore, the victory of the Shrek Academy team did affect the Sun Moon Empire's offensive posture against the three empires to a certain extent. It has yet to launch a general offensive.
It is for this reason that the Star Luo Empire gave the green light to Shrek Academy in the last Soul Fighting Competition held in Star Luo City. Some places can tolerate some wanton behavior.
If we put it aside, there is nothing to hesitate about. Anyway, Shrek Academy is supporting it from the front. The Sun and Moon Empire took out three level nine soul tools in one go. This opportunity cannot be missed.
Although they lost to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy team headed by Su Luoheng in the last session, people make mistakes and horses make mistakes, and a single defeat is nothing. Shrek Academy is still worthy of belief.
But the problem now is that Shrek Academy exploded...
The Sun-Moon Empire was about to restart the Soul Fighting Competition at this time, which undoubtedly sounded the alarm for the three of them. The profound meaning behind this is self-evident.
Three level nine soul tools are very tempting, but... they have to defeat the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy first... Now that Shrek Academy is gone, who can guarantee to win?
But if the Soul Fighting Competition is not restarted, it will be a sign of weakness, and it will appear that this place does not have three hundred taels of silver. Looking at it this way, the new emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but also very ambitious.
Neither agreeing nor refusing...
The three of them were in a dilemma for a while and couldn't make up their minds.
After a long silence, he said: "Your Majesty, the Soul Fighting Competition is of great importance, and foreign ministers cannot decide. I need to return to Xingluo to report to Brother Ming before I can give you a definite answer."
"Your Majesty, the same is true for us."
The other two envoys heard this and replied with the same reason.
"This is natural."
Xu Jinyu smiled lightly and nodded, "I will give you time to think about it. In four months, the Soul Fighting Competition will be held in Mingdu. I hope to see teams from the three empires of Xingluo, Tianhun, and Douling."
"It's getting late, so you three should go down and rest first, and return tomorrow."
"The foreign minister resigns."
Immediately, the three of them left in a hurry.
Anyone can hear the meaning behind Xu Jinyu's words. The purpose of restarting the Soul Fighting Competition is to solicit opinions, but in fact it is to inform them.
This move of the Sun and Moon Empire is to flex its muscles and to test the potential of the three empires without Shrek Academy.
This is a conspiracy and cannot be refused.
…
…
The news of the restart of the Soul Fighting Competition has spread, and the purpose of this dinner has been achieved. So Xu Jinyu left the table with Xu Han, Su Luoheng, and Kong Deming after a few words of explanation.
The three of them were all core personnel around Xu Jinyu and held high positions in the new regime. The matters discussed involved important military and political matters and were not suitable for the presence of others.
However, although the leader left first, the dinner went on as usual.
Moreover, without Xu Jinyu present, all the noble ministers were more relaxed, and the banquet became more lively. There were people drinking and drinking, changing glasses, and the atmosphere of the whole banquet became relaxed and happy.
They gathered together in twos and threes, and most of the topics they discussed were the restart of the Soul Fighting Competition led by King Heng today.
While speculating on the true meaning of His Majesty's move, he also praised Xu Jinyu's tough attitude in responding to the envoys of the three empires. The Sun and Moon Empire has been achieving results for too long, and it needs such a tough-minded emperor.
And, the intention of conferring Xu Han and Su Luoheng as marshals. All the five most elite Soul Master Groups of the Hands of the Sun and Moon Empire were distributed, and there was a hint of a storm coming.
