Chapter 278 Finals

January 26, 2516, the new calendar, today is the day when the cross-country competition begins.

In a sense, the real 100-school competition begins today, and the previous ones are just warm-up matches.

The sixteen magic academies that have emerged from the one hundred magic academies will fully demonstrate their abilities on the next stage.

As the main competition, the difficulty of each major competition item has increased, and the strength confrontation between students has truly begun.

Take the upcoming cross-country competition for example, not only the distance has become longer, the obstacles along the way have increased, but it is also a direct final!

Unlike the ten-minute attack and defense, three-person ring competition, school flag simulation battle, precision shooting, frisbee shooting, and magic disassembly, the cross-country competition directly determines the top three from the sixteen participating magic academies. There is no so-called quarterfinals, semifinals, or semifinals, but it comes directly to the finals.

Because the cross-country competition does not require two-on-two confrontations.

Sixteen magic academies, 80 contestants, as long as a student from a certain school wins the championship, it means that the entire school has won the championship.

This is a team competition. One person keeps sprinting forward, and the remaining four help the first place to win the championship. What they need to stop is the obstacles from students from other colleges who do not violate the rules of the game.

"With Liu Zimu's personality, he will not help Zhao Shiran stop students from other schools." Leng Yingxuan looked at Zhao Shiran and the other five who were preparing on the field and whispered.

Beiming Zhiyao said calmly: "It's not the first time, and Zhao Shiran may not lose. Even if he loses, it doesn't matter. We are leading in points."

As she said that, Beiming Zhiyao looked at the points ranking after the elimination round displayed on the big screen.

Tianji Magic Academy topped the list with 785 points, followed by Cangkong Magic Academy with 609 points.

In cross-country competitions and other events, Tianji Magic Academy opened up a gap. Although Ouyang Yuanqing performed well, the rookie battle points in the elimination round were not counted into the college points, so they have not caught up.

But the main race is different. The points in the main race are higher than those in the elimination round. Everyone will show their hidden strength to compete for points. In the year of Frisbee shooting and precision shooting, Ouyang Yuanqing has almost locked the victory in the rookie battle, so he must widen the gap in the second and third grade competitions to ensure that he will not be caught up.

The points for the cross-country competition champion are 150 points, the second place is 100 points, and the third place is 50 points.

The points are not very high, but for Bei Ming Zhiyao who wants to win the championship, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat. You must fight for places where you can get a lot of points!

The distance of the cross-country competition is 100 kilometers, and the competition venue is slowly revealed at this time, covering almost two-thirds of the Yunshan venue.

In the huge magic formula, the terrain emerges, which can be called luxurious-

Desert, mudflats, forests, magma, icebergs...

Almost all the harsh environments that people can imagine are included.

These are real scenes presented through magic. Entering them is like being in a real desert or snowy mountain. Students must not only resist the heat, but also the cold, and learn to evenly distribute magic power, otherwise they will not be able to finish the whole course.

Because you cannot protect yourself by absorbing magic power inside, the Hundred Schools Battle is a place to show students' self-strength. The Operation Committee has already considered that after each project starts, the students will be isolated from the communication between the elements of heaven and earth, and can only use their own magic power to fight against the project.

Because in real combat, the enemy will not give you time to recover your magic power.

"The track of this year's cross-country competition looks even harder than last year. Although the environment has not changed much, the temperature is completely different!"

"The temperature of the snow mountain is lower, the temperature of the magma is higher, and what is the thing hidden in the sand and gravel in the desert?"

"Looking at the mudflats, I always feel that if I step on them, I will be pulled down. It's so scary!"

"There are monsters in the forest. My God, is this year's cross-country competition so grand?!"

A series of heated discussions rang out. Originally, the cross-country competition was the least old man among all the competitions, but this year's cross-country competition is completely different from previous years.

For a while, the audience who were not very interested became active, and noisy discussions filled every corner of the Yunshan venue.

Situ Yue was originally not worried about Zhao Shiran's performance in this competition, but now, she has to start to worry.

If the five participating students of Tianji Magic Academy work together, it will be fine, but Liu Zimu is obviously not a person who is willing to cooperate, which greatly increases the difficulty of Zhao Shiran's competition.

"Don't worry, Shiran is also very good." Li Xiaoqing comforted.

"That's right, Shi Ran has more advantages than others." Liu Zi Ran also interrupted. In the past period of time, Liu Zi Ran almost showed his courtesy to Bei Ming Zhi Yao, Zhao Shi Ran and others whenever he had the chance, and he persisted and would not stop until he achieved his goal.

Everyone knew that Liu Zi Ran had bad intentions, but it was not easy to say anything too harsh to such a Liu Zi Ran, because you can't hit a smiling person.

Situ Yue ignored Liu Zi Ran, and Liu Zi Ran didn't feel embarrassed, and continued to say something similar to encouragement.

"This game is almost a test of students' mastery of system magic." Bei Ming Zhi Yao said softly: "The mudflat tests gravity system magic, and the snow mountain tests aggregation system magic..."

Su Yian nodded. Just talking about the cross-country competition, it is indeed much more difficult than in previous years, probably because the level of magicians is getting higher and higher every year.

This year's cross-country competition is nothing short of a fight between dragons and tigers.

Su Yian turned his gaze and looked at the rest area of ​​Tenglong Magic Academy. Shen Wenze still held the standard pancake in his hand, and his expression at this time was extremely cold.

As if he felt Su Yian's gaze, Shen Wenze looked up and glanced at this side, with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth, and then gave Su Yian a middle finger.

Su Yian retracted his gaze. Shen Wenze was just a young man after all. He had a cruel and violent personality. He didn't hide it at all and could be seen through at a glance.

Su Yian had seen people of the same kind, but that person was much more terrifying than Shen Wenze.

Hiding one's true nature is an outstanding skill, and there are only two types of people who expose their true nature. One is supported by strong strength, and the other is like Shen Wenze. He has strength, but his character is supported by his family background.

"The rookie battle in the afternoon should be less difficult based on this map, otherwise few people will be able to complete the whole course." Li Heer said.

Huangfu Tiange crossed his arms and looked at the five students from Cangkong Magic Academy in the field with a blank expression.

He did not take the cross-country competition seriously. The presence of Zhao Shiran was enough to deter the participating students from other schools, but he did not plan to increase his points by winning the championship in this event.

His focus was on the five events of ten-minute attack and defense, three-person ring competition, school flag simulation competition, magic disassembly, and deserted island competition.

He invested a lot of manpower and material resources in these five events. He must reduce the points in these five events or even surpass them and win the championship of this Hundred Schools Battle!

And amid the voices of everyone's discussion, the finals of the cross-country competition kicked off.

At the moment the countdown ended, the eighty contestants flew out like arrows from a string and ran towards the finish line.

Zhao Shiran was still riding far away from the others, and he had been pulling away from the others since the bubble appeared, and this distance was still expanding.

This scene surprised many people. A hundred kilometers away, and such a fast speed just at the beginning. What about the endurance? Can you keep up?

"Is this guy crazy? He actually used such a fast speed at the beginning. Doesn't he want to win the championship?!" Li Heer was a little unbelievable: "Zhao Shiran is too conceited."

Huangfu Tiange still didn't speak, and didn't care whether he could win in the end. Even if the victory was not from Tianji Magic Academy, it couldn't be from Cangkong Magic Academy, because the students he sent to participate in this project were not the best.

"This bastard..." Liu Zimu looked at Zhao Shiran, who was a little blurry in front of him, gritted his teeth and cursed, but he didn't increase his speed in anger. For such a long distance, he had calculated how to evenly distribute his magic power.

He didn't believe that Zhao Shiran could maintain such a speed until the finish line!

The remaining three contestants of Tianji Magic Academy looked at each other, with some helplessness and bitter smiles in their eyes, but they could only start to slow down the speed of some students from other academies.

Wang Yiming from the private Ruihe Magic Academy took his eyes off Zhao Shiran. Like everyone else, he thought Zhao Shiran was either crazy or too conceited. This was not the length of the track for last year's cross-country competition. If he continued at this speed, he would never make it to the finish line!

"I can't be too slow either." Wang Yiming thought silently, looked at the students of the Cangkong Magic Academy in front of him, sneered, and then suddenly started to speed up!

The self-acceleration magic was activated, and the speed that burst out instantly made the faces of several students of the Cangkong Magic Academy change, but they still started to stop him.

"Stop him!"

The three students of the Cangkong Magic Academy slowed down and tried to stop him, but——

Swish!

Like an afterimage, Wang Yiming passed through the gap between them very flexibly, without giving them a chance to react!

"What's going on!? How did he get through?"

"Fuck, what's this skill?"

"Am I dazzled???"

Several students of the Cangkong Magic Academy looked at Wang Yiming in front of them, looking like they had seen a ghost.

Outside the court, Su Yian and Ouyang Yuanqing had similar expressions, as if they were somewhat surprised.

"Four Steps of Flying Cloud!"

These were the words spoken by both of them at the same time.

"Four Steps of Flying Cloud?" Bei Ming Zhiyao looked at Su Yian: "What magic?"

"Taoist magic."
