Chapter 161 The Exchange Meeting Is Coming
In a blink of an eye, a month passed.
That day, Class 1 assembled again.
As class was about to start, Xia Yue looked at Su Yuan's empty seat and asked Shang Baiyu, "Is Su Yuan missing again?"
Hearing Xia Yue's question, Luo Bingtong next to her looked over, and Xiang Dingqian behind her also pricked up her ears quietly.
Shang Baiyu nodded: "He disappeared a long time ago. He left school a month ago."
"A month ago?" Xia Yue was startled, "Didn't we just come back from the hunting trial a few days ago?"
"Yes... According to the teacher, he went to the Hengduan Mountains to train again, and he hasn't come back yet."
Xia Yue covered her forehead: "He is really a training monster..."
Xiang Dingqian, who had been concentrating and listening from afar, nodded secretly.
"So perverted, and so hardworking... Sure enough, no one can surpass him!"
Soon, He Yanan walked in.
"Teacher Xiao He!"
"Well, everyone sit down."
He Yanan asked everyone to sit down, and then got straight to the point:
"This time I called you to talk about the Sandu Elite Exchange Conference. The time of the exchange conference and the final competition system have been determined."
Hearing He Yanan talking about this, everyone also perked up and listened, after all, this is related to the quota of Magic City Holy Spring.
"Time, April 20th.
Competition system, round-robin group competition."
"Round-robin group competition?" Everyone in the class was a little confused. They knew about the group competition, but what was the round-robin group competition?
He Yanan said slowly: "The round-robin group competition is a competition conducted by three groups.
The teams of the three capital colleges, each with 5 people, will challenge the other colleges in the order of Magic City-Imperial City-Demon City.
Until all 5 people from a certain college are defeated, the team will be eliminated, and the one left at the end is the winner."
Shang Baiyu pinched his chin and thought: "Simple and clear, but the situation is not good~"
Xia Yue said: "The Magic City and the Imperial City have a high self-esteem and only regard each other as competitors. We may be besieged..."
Zhang Tai scratched his head and said puzzledly: "If that's the case, shouldn't they win us over? Why are they besieging us?"
Xia Yue curled her lips and said nothing more.
Shang Baiyu saw this and explained, "If it was a three-way battle, perhaps both the Imperial City and the Magic City would want to use the power of our weaker party.
This way, the balance of power would tilt, and the two parties that joined forces could easily defeat the lone party, so we might get the second or even first place.
But now it is in the form of a ring match, in which case all battles are one-on-one.
The "one-on-two" has been transformed into two "one-on-ones", and the effect of the joint efforts has been greatly reduced.
If it is one-on-one, you can't beat it, and it is not impossible for someone to complete a series of five.
Instead of this, it would be better for the Imperial City and the Magic City to eliminate the weaker third party first, ensure that they get at least 10 extra places, and finally compete with each other for the first place.
"Well said." He Yanan looked at Shang Baiyu with approval.
"In addition, according to the information I have learned, the Imperial City and the Magic City each have two extremely outstanding super geniuses this year.
Not only did they break through to the high level a month or two ago, but they also have no shortcomings in soul cards, skills, star weapons, combat awareness, etc.
In the past exchange competitions, there were only one or two such students a year at most. I didn't expect that this year, there would be four students from the Imperial Capital and the Magic Capital alone. "
If Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong are included, there will be a total of six!
He Yanan's eyes fell on
"High-level bronze? It was already high-level bronze a month or two ago. We don't have a single high-level bronze student in the Demon Capital Academy now!"
Everyone didn't know what He Yanan was thinking, and they were all surprised that the students from the Imperial Capital and the Magic Capital reached the high-level bronze so quickly.
The realm is one level lower, and the outcome is at a great disadvantage before the battle begins.
Xia Yue, Xiang Dingqian and others couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.
In fact, Xia Yue and others have been honing their star power for the past month to prepare for the breakthrough in the Star Mist Pool.
Now there are nearly twenty days before the Three Capitals Elite Exchange Conference. Before that, there is a chance to break through.
"It's not that we don't have high-level students in the Demon Capital Academy," He Yanan smiled, "Su Yuan had already broken through to the high-level bronze a month ago."
"Ah, this! ..."
Xia Yue and the others were startled at first, and then they couldn't help but look at Shang Baiyu next to Su Yuan's empty seat.
Shang Baiyu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know either, neither he nor the teacher told me..."
Shang Baiyu also understood, thinking that Su Yuan went out to train again because he broke through to the high level.
Everyone sighed secretly, Su Yuan was really abnormal and low-key... He didn't look like a young man of this age at all.
If it was someone else, who broke through to the high bronze level, wouldn't the whole class know it immediately?
After all, they are all young people, and they still have a little bit of comparison psychology.
But Su Yuan... If it weren't for He Yanan, no one would have known that he had broken through to the high level for a month!
Speaking of which, Su Yuan seemed to have been hiding his true strength before.
For example, in the incident at the Antarctic Academy's combat hall, if it weren't for the single-handed confrontation with the five academies, no one would have known that in addition to his powerful summoning skills, his true strength was also so strong.
...
"Teacher Xiao He, who are the super geniuses from the Imperial Capital and the Magic City that you mentioned earlier?" Mu Qingyu asked.
He Yanan said lightly: "Ji Xuan and Wen Chenwei from the Magic City, Xiang Dingkun and Zhu Hongchi from the Imperial Capital."
Xiang Dingkun?
Everyone in the class looked strange, and they couldn't help but secretly glance at Xiang Dingqian behind them.
Everyone knew that Xiang Dingqian had a genius brother from the Imperial Capital Academy, but they didn't expect that he was one of the super geniuses that He Yanan mentioned.
At this time, Xiang Dingqian's face was not very good. At the beginning, Xiang Dingqian's strength was indeed not as good as his cousin Xiang Dingkun, which made Xiang Dingkun more appreciated and resourced by the elders of the family.
Everyone can see that Xiang Dingkun has a higher talent, and the gap between the two brothers Qian and Kun will become larger and larger.
Later, Xiang Dingkun looked down on Xiang Dingqian, and Xiang Dingqian also hated Xiang Dingkun. The relationship between the two was very bad, so Xiang Dingqian left the imperial capital and came to the Demon Capital Academy directly.
And Xiang Dingqian's long-term goal has been to defeat Xiang Dingkun, win back the recognition of the family elders and more resources.
But that was in the past. Now, Xiang Dingqian has found a new goal...
Looking at the empty seats in the front row, Xiang Dingqian's heart suddenly calmed down a lot.
As long as he follows this person closely, it is only a matter of time before he surpasses Xiang Dingkun...
Everyone is looking at Xiang Dingqian, but no one noticed that Xia Yue's face is also not very good.
"Wen Chenwei, I don't know how strong you are now..."
Xia Yue doesn't know other people, but Wen Chenwei from the Magic City was originally in the same school as herself, the Magic City No. 1 Middle School!
She was always ranked second in school because this person always occupied the first place.
Until finally, in a comprehensive test before graduation, I finally got the first place!
Xia Yue will always remember that day.
Just when I was excited in the corridor because I finally got the first place, Wen Chenwei came over without knowing when.
"It seems that you are very happy..." Wen Chenwei had a faint smile on his face.
"Seeing that you have been the second for three years, before leaving, I thought about letting you be the first once.
But just getting the first place once, can you be so happy? It's really puzzling..."
Wen Chenwei shook his head after thinking for a while: "Oh, maybe it's because I have always been the first, so I forgot that getting the first place is something to be happy about..."
With that, Wen Chenwei walked away step by step, leaving Xia Yue standing in the corridor alone, thinking about what the other party said.
My first place, was given by the other party?
…
“As for our roster, I have already decided on it…” He Yanan’s voice attracted the attention of everyone in the class again, “Captain Su Yuan, team members: Xiang Dingqian, Xia Yue, Ye Qing, Zhang Tai.
“It’s pretty much what I thought.”
“Me too, but Luo Bingtong is not there.”
“It stands to reason that she just won first place in the hunting trial, so her strength must be strong. After all, Su Yuan alone can’t get thousands of credits, right? "
"Yes, and she also got the Five-Leaf Spirit..."
Everyone was talking about it. This list of participants in the exchange competition was almost the same as what most people in the class expected. The main difference was Luo Bingtong.
Of the top ten freshmen, Luo Bingtong was in the top five.
Although Luo Bingtong did not take action in the Antarctic College's actual combat hall later, everyone did not know what her upper limit was.
But judging from the Five-Leaf Spirit and this hunting trial, she would never be weak, and might be stronger than Xia Yue, Xiang Dingqian, etc.
He Yanan shook his head secretly. Originally, he had arranged Luo Bingtong, but the dean personally told him not to let Luo Bingtong take action.
"It seems that this girl's background is bigger than I expected..." He Yanan looked at Luo Bingtong sitting quietly below, and thought to himself.
"Prepare well after coming down, and use the Star Mist Pool when necessary.
If you get second, each person will be rewarded with 200 credits; first, each person will be rewarded with 500 credits!
If someone beats the opponent in the competition, there will be an additional reward! "
"200, 500? That's too much!"
"Yeah, we fought hard in the hunting trial for a month and only got more than 200 credits. How many points will be awarded in this competition?"
Most people exclaimed that so many credits could be awarded.
Mu Qingyu pondered for a moment and said, "It's not much. The second place can add 10 extra holy spring places to the academy. Even if the breakthrough probability is calculated at half, there can be 5 people who break through from the intermediate level to the advanced level.
In addition, if we can beat the Imperial City and the Magic City in the exchange competition, it will also bring glory to the Demon City Academy. In fact, this is more important than the extra holy spring quota. "
"Yes, Qingyu, now that you say so, this reward should be so much." Lu Yingying nodded, holding her chin with both hands, "I'm envious, I also want to win by doing nothing."
Mu Qingyu smiled and knocked on Lu Yingying's head: "How can it be so easy? Didn't you hear Teacher Xiao He say that the Magic City and the Imperial City each have two super geniuses?
If it is true as the teacher said, it is much better than the geniuses of Dongji, Wanzhou and other academies!"
Lu Yingying asked back: "Then do you think Su Yuan will lose?
Mu Qingyu's expression was choked, and then he shook his head and said: "It's hard to say."
Although the team competition can greatly exert individual strength, it is also a team competition after all.
If Luo Bingtong also plays, Mu Qingyu thinks there is a high probability that he can get at least the second place, and there is even a good chance of winning!
But if it was only Su Yuan... Mu Qingyu was also sure whether Su Yuan could hold up this situation.
Mu Qingyu turned her head to look at Xia Yue and other contestants, but unexpectedly found that although Xia Yue and Xiang Dingqian looked solemn, they both had a strong confidence in their eyes.
Obviously, this was not only confidence in themselves, but more importantly, confidence in the person who was not present!
Mu Qingyu turned around and looked at Lu Yingying next to her, who had the same expression.
"Yingying and the others actually believe in him so much!" Mu Qingyu's heart was slightly shocked and she was stunned.
Looking up at the empty seat in front of her, Mu Qingyu realized that there might be something she didn't know.
