Chapter 79 - New Rules Of The Selection Compet.i.tion (2)
"Today"s matches will adopt the format of challenges. You can advance as long as you defeat five people, no matter if you are the challenger or the challenged. Similarly, those who fail five times will lose their qualifications!" the host explained the rules of today"s compet.i.tion.
"What does that mean?" Feng Moran was puzzled.
"It means that we have a chance to chase everyone from the Supreme Hall out of the top thirty," Leng Ruoxue said indifferently.
"…"
Leng Ruoxue"s words made everyone"s blood boil with excitement.
"Next, let us welcome our first challenger!"
"Xiao Ting, come here." Leng Ruoxue whispered a few words in Xiao Ting"s ears since he was the first to go on stage. Then Xiao Ting walked to the center of the stage confidently..
"The first person I want to challenge is Senior Sister Chen Fang," Xiao Ting said calmly.
"Don"t regret it," Chen Fang said disdainfully. Hmph, how dare this poor boy challenge me?
"Senior Sister, please." Xiao Ting smiled.
Chen Fang took the lead to swing her sword at Xiao Ting, and the water-attribute spiritual power in her sword rushed toward Xiao Ting…
Xiao Ting smiled calmly and gently blocked Chen Fang"s attack with the earth-element spiritual skill in his hand. Then he turned his hand and gently released an advanced water-element spiritual skill at Chen Fang. Chen Fang couldn"t dodge in time and was. .h.i.t directly…
Chen Fang swallowed the blood in her mouth and looked at Xiao Ting defiantly. No… that"s impossible.I am among the top ten in the academy. How can I be defeated by an unknown poor boy with one move?
"I still have my spirit beast!" Chen Fang said forcefully. She didn"t intend to admit defeat and summoned her spirit beast, a level one holy beast, a babel long-armed ape.
In fact, spirit beasts were not allowed in either the academy"s selection compet.i.tion or the Academy Compet.i.tion. This was for the sake of fairness and also to protect the safety of students. After all, even if the students who could partic.i.p.ate in the Academy Compet.i.tion were not geniuses, they were elites of prominent families. It would be very troublesome if there was really an accident, and Chen Fang"s use of her spirit beasts had obviously violated the rules of the compet.i.tion.
Leng Ruoxue stood below the stage, her beautiful eyes glancing indifferently at the referee who ignored the violations. Fortunately, she had prepared. Otherwise…
"Spirit beast? I have one too." Xiao Ting smiled elegantly and summoned his spirit beast, a level five holy beast, a lightning leopard. The leader had even helped him contract this holy beast!
Chen Fang was dumbfounded. This is impossible. How is this possible? How can this poor guy"s spirit beast be better than mine?
"Senior Sister, do you still want to compete?" Xiao Ting smiled confidently. The bright smile on his face was a sharp contrast to Chen Fang"s dejection.
"I admit defeat." Chen Fang was stunned for a long time. In the end, she had to admit defeat. She knew that she had lost too much dignity this time.
In addition to Fu Mingyuan and Chen Fang, Li Yu, Xu Na"er, and w.a.n.g Wei from the Supreme Hall also entered the finals.
After Xiao Ting challenged Chen Fang, he challenged Li Yu, Xu Na"er, and w.a.n.g Wei in succession. He also challenged the weakest student from the Sacred Hall. After defeating them, he was the first to enter the top 30.
Thereafter, the students from the Sacred Hall went on stage consecutively, challenged their opponents according to Leng Ruoxue"s plan, and successfully entered the top 30.
After losing five times in a row, w.a.n.g Wei was the first to be eliminated. He didn"t even have the chance to challenge anyone.
Immediately afterward, Xu Na"er and Li Yu were eliminated. Only Fu Mingyuan and Chen Fang remained from the Supreme Hall. Fu Mingyuan survived because no one had challenged him yet, and Chen Fang was facing elimination at any time since she had lost four times already.
Seeing this situation, even a fool understood. But even if they understood, there was nothing they could do because Fu Mingyuan"s and Chen Fang"s appearance numbers were at the back. They had no chance to challenge anyone, so they could only watch as the people from the Supreme Hall were eliminated one by one.
"Princ.i.p.al, this compet.i.tion isn"t fair!" Chen Jian stood up from his seat angrily and said anxiously.
"How is it not fair?" Lin Liang pretended to be puzzled. This girl is really ruthless. Seems like she doesn"t plan on letting anyone from the Supreme Hall obtain a quota.
"The rules of the compet.i.tion are unfair. Some students don"t even have a chance to challenge others. How can they be eliminated just like that?" Chen Jian said angrily.
"Vice Princ.i.p.al, are you referring to the students from the Supreme Hall?" Elder Qiu asked with a smile.
"Vice Princ.i.p.al Chen, you were very supportive of this rule at first, and now you"re saying that it"s unfair. How can you convince the students if you go back on your word like this?" Lin Liang scolded. He knew that Chen Jian was willing to agree to this rule because he believed in the strength of the students from the Supreme Hall. But the current situation was contrary to his expectations, causing his anxiety. But it was too late now!
After Chen Fang was swept out of the compet.i.tion, Fu Mingyuan was the only one left from the entire Supreme Hall. His heart in knots, Fu Mingyuan looked at the stunningly beautiful girl with a complicated expression.
Was she really a simpleton before? Or was she pretending from the start? He had many doubts, but he knew very well that their Supreme Hall had suffered a crus.h.i.+ng defeat in this compet.i.tion.
Feng Moran, Mu Li, Ye Chen, and Feng Da went on stage one after another and challenged Fu Mingyuan. They won four consecutive matches and successfully entered the top 30.
"I want to challenge Leng Ruoxue," Fu Mingyuan said. It was finally his turn to go on stage. He had lost four times, and there happened to be five people on stage including him, but there was only one spot. Fu Mingyuan knew very well that Leng Ruoxue was his biggest opponent among the five, so only by defeating Leng Ruoxue could he have a chance to enter the top 30.
"I accept the challenge." Leng Ruoxue walked directly to the center of the stage. She had deliberately brought about this result. Otherwise, Fu Mingyuan would not have stayed until the end.
Leng Ruoxue looked at her opponent, Fu Mingyuan, one of the three great geniuses of the Heavenly Phoenix Academy, whose strength was on par with Feng Aoran"s. He was an advanced Spiritual Monarch and one of her brother"s few friends. Unfortunately, because of Fu Mingzhu, they would never become friends.
