Lin Han and the others naturally heard the discussions around them. It was clear that someone of the dean's caliber, like Jinguang Canying, was likely on par with figures such as Wu Jiaoxi or Qin Yu.
At that moment, Wu Qinghong, who was seated next to the Dragon Tooth Squad, wore a look of confusion on his face and muttered to himself, "To have invited this guy as well, it seems this time is indeed different."
Meanwhile, Lin Suqing, standing on the podium, slowly began to speak: "I believe many of you are curious why I, as the dean, am here to host the Star Dragon Festival competition. Don't worry; I will explain everything shortly."
As everyone knows, the competition process for the Star Dragon Festival is quite complex. Young Beast Masters from various academies must go through a series of events: the points competition, group matches, and finally, the most important elimination rounds of the Star Dragon Festival.
In this year's points competition, unlike previous years where points were earned solely through victories in battles, there is an additional method for earning points. Teams can now gain points by venturing into the Star Dragon Empire's Border and hunting down the ferocious beasts that plague it!
The mention of hunting ferocious beasts immediately shocked everyone present.
At the same time, it became clear why the dean was overseeing the entire event. As the host of the competition, she not only needed to maintain the rules and order but also ensure the safety of participating Beast Masters. If any accidents occurred during battles with ferocious beasts, ordinary event hosts would be ill-equipped to handle such situations.
The ferocious beasts in the Star Dragon Empire's Border are incredibly brutal and far beyond what one would encounter in dungeons!
Before the Star Dragon Festival began, no academy had been informed of these new rules. Upon receiving this information, someone immediately voiced their concern: "Participating in battles against ferocious beasts? Lin Suqing, isn't this method of earning points a bit too difficult?"
"Yes," another added. "These juniors have never experienced such battles; accidents are bound to happen!"
Faced with these concerns, Lin Suqing's expression remained unchanged. She lightly turned her gaze and replied, "As I mentioned earlier, according to the competition rules, everyone has the option to choose whether or not to engage in battle with ferocious beasts; it is not mandatory."
Upon hearing this, everyone could only relent.
Indeed, I wondered why those from the Military Department seemed to be intentionally lowering their defenses; it turns out they want you juniors to adapt quickly to fighting ferocious beasts.
Wu Qinghong sat upright in his chair, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. With this factor included, his juniors actually had an advantage.
The specific rules for earning points in the competition had already been handed over to the academy's Beast Masters. After completing the arrangements for the competition format, whether additional points could be earned by hunting ferocious beasts would be discussed among each academy's Beast Masters and their leading instructors.
Lin Suqing stood on the podium and confirmed that everyone understood her message before continuing: "The first round of competitions for this year's Star Dragon Festival will officially begin tomorrow. Now, all participating students can return and discuss strategies for earning points moving forward."
After Lin Han and others returned to Zhu Yue Hotel, they headed straight for the conference room. However, their instructor Wu Qinghong did not accompany them back, which meant that they would have to handle all arrangements for this competition themselves.
At that moment, Xue Wushuang plopped down on the sofa, staring at the list of participants in the competition. He couldn't help but exclaim, "This competition only offers a few points for participation, but we can earn points for every beast we kill. Isn't it obvious that they want us to focus on hunting these ferocious beasts?"
He pondered for a moment, realizing that there was a reason behind this arrangement. Fighting against ferocious beasts would truly test the cohesion of the team.
Qian Yixuan nodded in agreement. In fact, their squad was completely on board with this format.
