……
The next day, Tang Wulin and his team of mecha manufacturers were completely disbanded. He, Ye Xinglan, Xu Lizhi, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie formed a new team.
That's right, Xie Xie left the second group and joined Tang Wulin's group, while Xu Xiaoyan chose to stay in the second group.
However, since Wu Siduo and the other four are all members of the list of young geniuses, and Wu Siduo is the class monitor.
It's fair to say that from the moment Tang Wulin broke up with Wu Siduo and Luo Guixing, it was destined that the vast majority of the class would not support them. In other words, they were isolated.
After school, Xie Xie rushed alone into the grove next to the work-study student dormitory, and kept calling out Sha Fulin's name in his mind.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry to find me?" Shafulin's voice rang in Xie Xie's mind.
"I want to become stronger."
"Then just cultivate according to my method, and you'll be fine."
"I want to become stronger quickly." Xie Xie recalled the memory of being isolated and then provoked by Xu Yucheng and others today, and couldn't help but clench his fists.
"What happened to you? Never mind, I don't have a way to get stronger quickly, but I do have a way to speed up your growth."
"What is it?" Xie Xie's eyes lit up. He had been a little disappointed when Sha Fulin said there was no way. He had only said it as a last resort, but he hadn't expected it to actually work.
“Fight,” Shafulin’s voice rang out. “Fighting powerful enemies, fighting different people, learning from the experience of fighting them, and summarizing your own shortcomings—these are all ways to grow quickly.”
As Shafulin spoke, Xie Xie's third soul ring suddenly lit up, and a light dragon clone appeared in front of him.
"bring it on."
Chapter 202 A Little Girl Driving a Big Truck?
With Fors and the others forming a team, the other members of the second group have also begun to work together harmoniously. After all, most of those who can get into Shrek Academy are quite talented.
So they were able to coordinate with their teammates quickly, and then they had time to continue their discussion about the mechs. However, during this time, the second group discovered something strange.
That's Xu Xiaoyan, who is also a mecha designer, and she seems to avoid Fors from time to time.
three days later.
Shrek Academy, Outer Courtyard, First Year, Class 1.
"To more accurately showcase your abilities, after applying to the academy with Ms. Wu and myself, this class-level selection competition will be held in a sparring arena in a practical, combat-style format. Let's go." Shen Yi calmly announced, looking at the students in the classroom.
Upon hearing her words, all the students in the class were slightly taken aback. Shouldn't the selection competition be held in a virtual space to avoid the possibility of injury or even serious damage?
How could it be a real battle?
In actual combat, that would be a real, real battle.
"Set off."
"Everyone stand up," Wu Siduo shouted.
All 103 students stood up and filed out in order.
Most of the trainees looked excited. Even if they couldn't win the competition, they might still get extra points if they stood out.
Moreover, this selection competition is different from the previous class monitor selection competition. In the class monitor selection competition, some techniques could be used to avoid strong opponents, but this time it is a head-on confrontation.
Only strength matters; whoever can defeat their opponent through their own strength can truly shoulder the responsibility of leading the class.
No, it seems the class flag was taken away a long time ago, and...
Many astute students noticed something: this competition was a real-world simulation!
In other words, they also have a certain possibility of facing Fors! Considering that Fors has rarely made a move since entering the school, every time he has made a move, it has been earth-shattering.
Everyone considered a prominent figure in the class had been beaten up by this opponent, even Teacher Wu was beaten until she vomited blood. Even worse, some thought of Fors's Buddha's Fury Lotus; with that attack, it was questionable whether they could even find Ash.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, many students' legs began to feel weak. Although teachers would likely watch over them to prevent injury, what if…?
"Huh? What's that?" Nan Fusheng, who was walking at the back of the group, suddenly noticed something strange.
Ye Xinglan was walking at the very back of the group. Her face was abnormally pale, and she even needed Xu Lizhi's slight support to walk steadily.
"Is this excessive indulgence?" A little girl driving a big vehicle, and a human bomb-like vehicle like Xu Lizhi's? That's pretty extreme!
Well, Nan Fusheng could guess the real reason, since Tang Wulin, being a fellow work-study student, had no intention of hiding it from him. "It seems they really did complete part of the battle armor production process."
The Sparring Arena is Shrek Academy's most frequently used facility. On weekdays, anyone can use it to compete by consuming contribution points.
The biggest advantage of the sparring arena is that it can isolate internal energy from leakage. At the same time, the sparring arena will be monitored by healing-type soul masters of at least the seventh ring from the academy, who will treat the injured at any time and protect the safety of the participants as much as possible.
When the students of Class 1, Grade 1 arrived at the sparring arena, they saw a person standing on the arena.
She was tall and slender, with a face that looked to be around thirty years old, possessing inner beauty and a gentle smile.
Seeing her, Shen Yi and Wu Zhangkong quickly stepped forward and bowed together.
"Your Majesty."
"No need for so much formality, get up quickly," the woman said with a smile.
"Everyone has met His Majesty the Holy Spirit Douluo." Wu Zhangkong said in a cold voice.
"Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li?" Nan Fusheng wondered to himself as he heard Wu Changkong's words from behind.
Holy Spirit Douluo? That title sounds really powerful! It's just a bit ambiguous, considering there's a Holy Spirit Cult secretly stirring things up.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Led by Wu Siduo, all the students of Class 1, Grade 1 bowed in unison.
The Holy Spirit Douluo smiled slightly, "The purpose of the sparring arena is to exchange skills, but you should also try your best to unleash your potential and improve yourself. Alright, I'll leave this to you." Her body floated up without any trace of smoke or fire, landing on a high stool at the edge of the sparring arena.
Wu Changkong turned to the group of students and said in a deep voice, "This class-wide selection competition will adhere to the principles of openness, fairness, and impartiality. The class is currently divided into eighteen groups, and the competition will be conducted by drawing lots shortly. It will be a single-elimination tournament."
Today we will determine the strongest team, who will represent our class in an exchange match against Class 1 of Grade 2 in four days. The exchange of minor professions will be conducted by the minor profession class committee members. We will now begin the draw.
Shrek Academy is Shrek Academy; although it was only the first group competition, sparks quickly flew. Every match was exciting and had its own highlights.
Once the match truly began, everyone realized that the Holy Spirit Douluo sitting on the sidelines was actually the referee for today's match. That's right, the referee.
Whenever the outcome of a match is decided, or when someone is about to suffer a serious injury, this person will intervene. Moreover, it's done remotely.
Soft beams of light will fall on the field at just the right time, either to end the match or to rescue the injured.
What's truly astonishing is the sheer power of this Holy Spirit Douluo's healing abilities. By the end of the first round of the competition, everyone who had been injured during the match had completely recovered.
The first round of nine matches took more than an hour to finish.
However, all of this was irrelevant to Nan Fusheng's team, because their opponents gave up immediately upon seeing Fors. After all, it would be fine if they could put up a fight, but being unilaterally crushed was just not worth it.
In the second round of the draw, since nine groups advanced, one group would inevitably receive a bye. And this time, the group receiving a bye was none other than Nan Fusheng's group.
In the third round of the draw, Nan Fusheng's group received a bye again.
The other students' expressions turned strange. Was this really fair and just? Why did Nan Fusheng's group get skipped twice? This was blatant cheating!
However, few people raised any objections. After all, they were more than happy to avoid meeting Fors, as this would at least give them a chance to showcase themselves.
When she heard that Nan Fusheng's three-person team had received a bye for two consecutive rounds, even the Holy Spirit Douluo raised her head with interest and looked at the last three teams. How could she not feel the change in atmosphere?
Chapter 203 Zheng Qia Ran: I haven't been exposed, have I?
"Alright, in that case, let's begin the draw for the fourth round of the selection competition." Wu Changkong announced calmly, and then prepared to help Fors and the others cheat. After all, it's better to save such an outstanding opponent for the finals.
Moreover, the conflict between Tang Wulin and Wu Siduo and Luo Guixing also needs an opportunity to be resolved.
“Teacher Wu.” Just then, Fors suddenly raised her hand.
"What is it?" Wu Changkong asked calmly, but a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
"I think our group has already had two byes. If we have another bye, the other students might be dissatisfied with me and think that I got to the finals by luck. So I would like to request a change to the rules," Fors said with a smile.
"What rules do you want to change?" Hearing Fors's words, Wu Changkong's lips twitched slightly. His bad premonition had come true. His classmates might be dissatisfied with him? Relying on luck to get to the finals?
Do you think that's possible? Everyone in the class with a name or reputation has been beaten up by you. Do you think they'd be resentful? They'd probably be eager to send you straight to the finals.
"Let the two groups work together; that way, we won't waste time," Fors said calmly, as if it were a trivial matter.
Fors's voice wasn't quiet; at least everyone in the class could hear it. The crowd fell silent for a moment, then erupted in a roar...
"Three against ten? Isn't that a bit too much of an overreach?"
"Yeah, yeah, I believe that Fors and the others can beat the 'Big Five' with their strength, but if we add the vice class monitor and the other five, I feel it's a bit risky."
"The Five Greats" is a nickname for a team formed by classmates of five members on the list of top young geniuses.
"But that's what makes it interesting, isn't it? After all, if we follow the normal competition format, Fors and her team would almost always be the ones to win. Now, it's three against ten, so there's a bit of suspense, isn't there?"
Even the Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li observed Fors with great interest. Given her strength, the whispers of the other students certainly wouldn't escape her ears. Three against ten—was that the only way to have any suspense?
As for who the members of this year's freshman class are, given her status and experience, she doesn't need to specifically find out. After all, if they are outstanding enough, she'll meet them again sooner or later in the inner academy. Besides, the outer academy isn't within her jurisdiction.
However, she had heard that this year's freshman class had added many outstanding talents, including five people on the list of young geniuses, and several others who were no less talented than them.
Furthermore, the two little ones who were recently transferred due to the internal reforms seem to have joined the freshman class. This year's freshman class can be said to be the strongest in a century.
Even so, some people actually suggested fighting three against ten, and judging from the reactions of the surrounding students, they clearly believed that only in this way could they achieve an even match with the other side.
"An interesting little girl," said Ya Li, the Holy Spirit Douluo, covering her mouth with her hand and chuckling.
"No, the maximum number of people per team in this competition is seven, and it's not allowed for one team to play against two teams," Wu Changkong said firmly. After all, he had already said that this selection competition was fair and just.
Although he did help Fors get a bye by cheating, that was based on the fact that Fors herself had exceptional strength. Even if he hadn't helped her, she would still have made it to the finals.
