Chapter 266 Knockout Round (1)
"Look, who is that student?"
"So fast, how did he surpass so many students at once, and he's still speeding up!"
"Really? Who is that?!"
When there were only five kilometers left in the elimination round, there were exclamations from the audience, and many student union presidents of the colleges also looked at this person in the arena.
Because this student suddenly burst out with extremely fast speed, easily surpassing other students, and at the same time dodging obstacles like a clever wild cat, and went straight to the tenth place.
Su Yian just returned to the rest area of Tianji Magic Academy and heard the students' discussions.
"It's a student from a private magic academy, but we don't have his identity information." Situ Yue said.
Who would have thought that a student from a private magic academy would suddenly enter everyone's sight like a dark horse.
Su Yian looked at the screen, and the screen was indeed showing the figure of this student, but he took a look and retracted his gaze.
As Yu Zhaohui said, the Hundred Schools Battle is a stage for magicians who have not yet grown up. It can only show the foundation of the magicians and the heights they may reach, but their combat power is not that strong.
Su Yian now has more important things to think about. Yu Zhaohui's position as the holder of the Great Qin Sword is somewhat beyond his expectations.
It's not that Yu Zhaohui is not strong, but he has only been a strategic magician for ten months at most. Whether it is the mastery of magic or combat experience, it is a bit lacking.
Why would Mu Qianxun nominate this guy to be the holder of the sword? Moreover, the cabinet actually agreed, and the old prince would also agree...
The holder of the Great Qin Sword does not only look at the strength of the holder of the strategic magician, but also the vision, whether he can judge the situation on the battlefield and make effective arrangements.
In this regard, Yu Zhaohui is very weak, because he lacks the courage at critical moments and the control of the overall situation.
The cabinet's arrangement for Yu Zhaohui made him feel that a storm is coming.
"We found out that the student's name is Wang Yiming, the head of the academic discipline department of Ruihe Magic Academy." A student from the news department said to Situ Yue.
"Wang Yiming is really amazing." Situ Yue said: "From the looks of it, he wants to squeeze Wuya Magic Academy out of the tenth place."
Planning Department Director Li Xiaoqing said: "He wants to make himself famous, and the way he tried is to surpass the students of an international magic academy."
"But his choice of Wuya Magic Academy doesn't mean anything." Li Xiaoqing continued: "Wuya Magic Academy is a school that values magic engineering more than magic skills. Other schools won't care too much about surpassing Wuya Magic Academy."
Situ Yue nodded: "But his goal may not be the tenth place, maybe it will be higher."
As if to confirm Situ Yue's words, Wang Yiming, who was already extremely fast in the arena, increased his speed again, surpassing the students of Wuya Magic Academy in one fell swoop and came to the tenth place.
But he did not slow down, but continued to chase the students of Tenglong Magic Academy.
The two students of Tenglong Magic Academy looked back at Wang Yiming who was catching up, and looked at each other, with a strange light flashing in their eyes, and then they slowed down directly, allowing Wang Yiming to pass.
After that, Wang Yiming slowed down a little until the finish line.
The elimination round of the cross-country competition came to an end after more than two hours of competition.
All ten national magic schools naturally entered the top 16, but the embarrassing 11th place of Wuya Magic Academy made their student council presidents look black.
Although they are not good at practical magic skills, it is still very embarrassing to be surpassed by a private magic school. How many years has this situation not happened? !
However, no matter how unhappy they are in their hearts, they cannot change this result.
In this elimination round, Zhao Shiran and Liu Zimu were first and second respectively, plus another student was 16th, so Tianji Magic Academy earned 39 points, 18 points ahead of the second-place Cangkong Magic Academy.
"Good performance." Beiming Zhiyao said to the five participating students who came back.
Zhao Shiran took the bottle of water that Situ Yue handed to him: "They didn't show their strength in the elimination rounds, so they have to work hard in the finals. President, you should cheer up the freshmen."
"They won't bring shame to our school." Bei Ming Zhiyao looked at the five freshmen: "Right?"
"Don't worry, President!"
...
Lunch break.
"I say, do you want to drag that Wang Yiming into the water?"
The young man bit off a piece of pancake and looked at Ming Yu opposite him with an unclear voice.
"The main competition will start in a few days, why are you in such a hurry?" Ming Yu said expressionlessly: "It's the two people from your school who deliberately let Wang Yiming pass by, right?"
"Hehe, you can see it all. As expected, he is the guy who stopped Cangkong Magic Academy from winning three consecutive championships. He has a good eye." The young man laughed: "Of course it was intentional. The main purpose was to see how far Wang Yiming could go. But he was also very good at hiding his abilities. After passing us, he slowed down. I don't know if it was his limit or intentional."
"It doesn't matter how strong he is. He can't make any waves." Ming Yu said: "And our target is not him."
"I know, I know. By the way, who is that Su Yian?" The young man took a big sip of water: "Damn, two peerless beauties treat him so well. I'm so envious. I really want to break that kid's legs and see if Bei Ming Zhiyao and Chu Anlan will still fall in love with her!"
"He's not participating in the competition." Ming Yu glanced at him: "But he does have a sister."
"Sister, is she pretty?" The young man's eyes lit up.
"A beautiful lady." Ming Yu said playfully, "And she is the first among the freshmen. Destroying her should be in your interest."
As he spoke, Ming Yu opened the space window and brought up Su Yige's photo. The young man looked at Su Yige's beautiful face, and a sadistic pleasure appeared in his eyes: "Not bad, not bad, this woman belongs to me."
"That depends on whether your Tenglong Magic Academy has any powerful people to show off."
"Why not?" The young man laughed wantonly: "The students in our academy are all descendants of princes and nobles. Although they are all idle dandies, their talents and strengths are not weak."
"And maybe it will surprise all of you."
"Really?" Ming Yu didn't take his words seriously: "Don't let people down, and this is the project that Su Yige participated in."
"I'll take it." The young man stood up: "Okay, if you're fine, go ahead. I'm going to sleep, and be careful not to be exposed."
Ming Yu stood up and left here.
...
At exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, the elimination round of the cross-country competition for first-year rookies kicked off.
As a competition for freshmen, the elimination rounds did not have points. Only the main rounds would count the points into the college's score, so this elimination round was simply to determine the top 16.
Because most magicians start learning magic at the age of 18, the strength of freshmen is mostly at the two levels of elementary level 3 and intermediate level 1.
The rules of the competition are that students are not allowed to use magic that exceeds the power of the fourth level, otherwise it will be considered a foul and the results will be cancelled.
The cross-country competition is not very interesting, so most of the colleges except Tianji Magic College are not the strongest.
So in the afternoon elimination round, Tianji Magic College won the first place again. If points can be counted, the gap between it and Cangkong Magic College will definitely be larger.
In the audience seats of a private room, Yu Zhaohui looked at the happy expressions of the students of Tianji Magic College below with sarcasm.
"I really don't know what the meaning of playing house games is, right?"
The woman lowered her head and was a little afraid to speak. Since she knew that Su Yian was the monarch of destruction, she didn't dare to comment on him.
The strongest strategic magician, this title was the most coveted title for these enlisted magicians.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Destroyer Monarch is the object of their admiration. Although Yu Zhaohui has taken the position that the Destroyer Monarch once sat in, Yu Zhaohui has not yet shown any record that shows that he is comparable to or even exceeds the Destroyer Monarch.
Since he has not yet, why do you always say such arrogant words?
Moreover, the participating students are all elites of the younger generation, the pillars of the future Daqin magic world, and those children of aristocratic families are even more important figures who will support the magic world.
Although the strategic magician is the strongest magic force in a country's army and has the capital to fight against the sage, it is still not enough.
Yu Zhaohui glanced at the woman and snorted coldly.
"General Yu came to watch the battle of 100 schools without even saying anything." Dongfang Xiong suddenly appeared in front of Yu Zhaohui, smiling: "Let me welcome you."
"Mr. Dongfang is too polite." Yu Zhaohui restrained the arrogance on his face: "Why don't you pour tea for Mr. Dongfang?"
Dongfang Xiong looked at Yu Zhaohui. He didn't know much about this newly appointed general. It's no exaggeration to say that before this, he only knew that there was this person, but he didn't know anything more specific.
He was also a little surprised that he suddenly stood out from a group of candidate strategic magicians and became the sword holder of the Great Qin Sword.
Now looking at Yu Zhaohui, he found that the strength of this general had not reached his expectations, but the arrogance on his face and the official power over his subordinates were not small.
Dongfang Xiong couldn't help but think of the Destroyed Monarch he had seen on the front line during the Battle of Kagoshima.
The murderous aura on the Destroyed Monarch, the degree of concentration of magic power in his body, and the indifference in his eyes that did not change even if the mountain collapsed, all left a deep impression on him.
Moreover, although the tone of the Destroyed Monarch was cold, he was not arrogant at all, and he could always get straight to the point when arranging actions and complete the best action method.
Comparing the two, Dongfang Xiong suddenly felt that the people in the cabinet were out of their minds to choose such a guy.
