"Is there any other rule in this last round?" Li Shi Ying looked straight into Qiao Mo's eyes as she asked with caution. She had a feeling that this last round wouldn't be that simple.
"Yes, there are several rules that the participants have to abide." Qiao Mo nodded his head, feeling a bit proud that his disciple also noticed this. Of course the last round of the tournament wouldn't be that easy.
The first rule that the participants had to follow was that there were no weapons allowed in the battle. This battle was indeed a life or death battle where a participant could kill the other participants. But even though it was like that, no weapon was allowed.
That's why it was actually so rare for a participant to die during the last round of the tournament. Usually, before they felt that they would be killed, the participant would immediately admit defeat. This way their opponent wasn't allowed to make any move to attack them.
"So no weapon….alright what's the next rule?" Li Shi Ying nodded her head while remembering this rule. For her, it was no problem since she never used a weapon in a fight so it would be alright battling without a weapon.
"The next rule is, the participants aren't allowed to use their contracted beasts." Qiao Mo glanced at Li Shi Ying, knowing that the girl usually relied on her beasts in a fight. This time she couldn't do so.
"No beasts allowed? Alright." Li Shi Ying gritted her teeth when she heard the second rule. For her, this one was quite hard since she indeed often relied on her beasts in a fight. But still, without her beasts, she still had her talismans.
"Good. The next rule is that only a human is allowed to participate in these two battles." Qiao Mo looked at Long Ao Zhen and Feng Wang Zi with a smile on his face. He indirectly said that these two couldn't represent their team in the battle later.
"Copy that." Li Shi Ying already knew that mythological beasts would be forbidden to do this one on one fight. It would be very unfair for the other participants if there was a mythological beast or a sacred beast in human form, joining the battle.
"Oh right, for the first fight, you can choose anyone in your team but for the second fight which is really the final battle that will determine the winner, the leader of the team is the one that has to participate."
Qiao Mo continued his explanation as he went back to look at Li Shi Ying. What he said was about Li Shi Ying as well since she was the leader of her team. This means she would have to step in the last battle which will determine the winner of the tournament, as well as the one getting the prize.
"So I have to step in for the last battle." Li Shi Ying nodded her head with a serious face. She knew sooner or later she had to step in the battle, but she didn't expect her to be the last line in her group to determine the winner.
This means she couldn't afford to lose the battle at all. If she loses, even though the first battle their team would win...they would still lose the tournament! This couldn't happen at all, at any cost.
The tournament system was like any other tournament after all. There would be four teams that advanced to the final. The first battle would determine which two teams could fight in the last battle to win the prize, as well as put their academy's pride on the line.
"Alright, and this is the last rule that is made just this year because of special circumstances. Participants that are translators aren't allowed to use their talismans in the battle."
Just when Li Shi Ying thought the rule for the last round was just that, Qiao Mo dropped a bomb right onto Li Shi Ying's head.
….what?! No talismans allowed??
"What?! What do you mean?!" Li Shi Ying's face went pale as she subconsciously stood up out of shock. Even Zhan Jiouli also had the same reaction since he would probably represent their team for the first battle, but if he wasn't allowed to use talismans...how could it be?!
"This year's tournament is different. We have two translators from one academy, that's why the other academies protested saying that this wasn't fair. That's why the tournament staff is forced to make this special rule." Qiao Mo had an apologetic look on his face.
He was the one making this last rule because he too thought that it wouldn't be fair for the other academies when Dong Xi Academy had two translators with talisman skills on their side.
If only he knew his disciple would be a translator as well, he wouldn't make this kind of rule even when the other academies pressured him. A pity that he made this rule before he made Li Shi Ying as his inheriting disciple.
"But what about me then??" Li Shi Ying almost shouted but she lowered her voice as she glanced around her teammates. She couldn't let them know that she was useless without her beast and her talismans.
She would be doomed!
