I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 407: Battle List, Competition Begins

As time draws closer, there is more and more discussion about the college competition.

From the elderly in their sixties and seventies to teenagers, everyone talks about this topic.

However, as the center of everyone's discussion, the atmosphere at Origin Academy is becoming increasingly tense.

Everyone is seizing the last moment to improve their strength as much as possible.

This college competition is no longer just a matter of contribution points.

It also concerns themselves and even the reputation of Origin Academy.

Even Liu Xiaoyan, who had never fought for anything before, rarely exchanged for a few bottles of origin potion to increase his cultivation speed.

Finally, on July 7, she became the last person to break through to the third level of body forging.

However, it is almost impossible to get a good ranking with this level of strength.

Unless she can control the burst of qi and blood and her strength much better than others.

But this is obviously impossible.

Even when a breakthrough is just made, the control over strength will decline.

In this case, the actual combat power is not necessarily much stronger than before the breakthrough.

Of course, no one regards Liu Xiaoyan as an opponent!
Most people's attention was still on Nangong Hong, Yuan Liren, Ji Xuan and others.

"Old White, are you confident that you can make it into the top three this time?"

Colster asked with a smile.

Bai Zhengyu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Not to mention the top three, he might not even make it into the top five.

Although his strength is not bad, no one knows how many villains he is hiding in secret.

For example, Wei Lingjun should not be underestimated.

So, it is not so easy to get a good ranking this time.

"You should think about yourself and don't end up at the bottom!"

Hearing this, Colster smiled confidently.

"Don't worry, I have already mastered the Wind Step."

"Although my strength hasn't reached the Ming Jin level, as long as I can avoid direct confrontation with others, I should be able to fight."

He was telling the truth.

During combat, if one has mastered the movement skills at an extraordinary martial arts level, then at least one will not be at much of a disadvantage in dodging.

If you can seize the opponent's weakness, even if your strength has not reached the Ming Jin level, there is still a chance to turn defeat into victory.

Of course, the premise is that you don’t encounter a pervert of Nangong Hong’s level.

If he encountered him, Colster would not have much room to dodge.

It is even possible that you will be defeated by the opponent in an instant.

However, Colster had never thought about defeating Nangong Hong.

For him, being in the top ten is enough!

"By the way, do you think the show-off can get first place this time?"

Bai Zhengyu shook his head.

"It's hard to say. If it were before, he might have had a good chance."

"But Ji Xuan's strength now should not be underestimated."

"And Yuan Liren, his swordsmanship is also very strong!"

The use of weapons is allowed in this battle.

However, not many people know how to use weapons.

After all, in the past everyone was just an ordinary person, and even if they practiced martial arts, they mostly just practiced fists and feet.

So far, only two people have used it in public.

The first one is Yuan Liren, and the second one is Sikong Yang.

As the few people who can use weapons, the two of them will undoubtedly have a greater advantage.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that being able to use weapons will necessarily make you strong.

The battle between extraordinary people ultimately depends on the degree of control over the power of qi and blood.

Just like Yuan Liren, if he couldn't integrate his qi and blood into his swordsmanship, the improvement wouldn't be that great.

Even if you are not proficient in knife skills, it may become a burden.

The reason why the academy did not prohibit the use of weapons was also for this reason.

Moreover, the weapons used this time are all standard weapons that have never been fired by the academy. As long as they do not harm the vital parts, the injuries caused will not cause death.

If it hits the vital parts, then regardless of whether there is a weapon or not, due to the power released by the power of qi and blood, there is a high probability that the person will die.

But as long as Xia Yuan is present, such a thing will not happen.

With his reaction speed, he was able to stop it at the most critical moment.

"Alright, there's no point in talking about this now. The college competition will be held the day after tomorrow, and everything will be clear then."

"Ah."

Colster nodded, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

……

In a blink of an eye, two days passed.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, the time finally arrived on July 7th.

The big screens in almost every shopping mall around the world are all preparing to broadcast the Academy Competition.

Eight in the morning.

All the screens light up at the same time.

In the picture, the central square of Origin Academy instantly appeared in everyone's sight.

[It’s started, it’s started! 】

Someone shouted excitedly.

Countless people were so excited about today's competition that they couldn't even sleep the whole night.

But at this moment, they are still full of energy.

The secretion of dopamine in the body makes them feel no fatigue at all.

I'm so envious of those who can go and see it live. If I could go, I'd be willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars to watch it live.

As soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately ridiculed by countless people.

[Wake up, it's already dawn! Do you know who those people are? ]

[See? Those are our Kyushu's second and third ministers.]

[And the old man with the gray beard next to him is Smith, the vice president of the United States.]

[The others are all from the highest echelons of various factions. You want to spend tens of thousands of dollars to watch it live? Is that okay?]

It is also a hot topic among the public.

More than a dozen people walked into the picture one after another.

[Look, the students from Origin Academy are coming out! ]

When everyone was standing in the square, someone finally spoke in confusion.

[Hey, weren't there 20 people who passed the assessment originally? Why are there only 19 now? Am I seeing things?]

[You are not dazzled, there are indeed only 19 people.]

[What's going on? Did they get eliminated early?]

[No way, being eliminated so soon? I should go instead.]

Just as everyone was discussing, the people in the North Sea finally discovered that the missing person was Alex from their faction.

[Impossible, Alex will definitely not be eliminated. His original score was in the top ten among all the competitors.]

[Yes, that’s right. 】

[Hehe, then why don't you guys tell me why Alex is the only one not here?]

[He might have been delayed by something. It hasn't officially started yet. Maybe he'll be out soon!]

The people in the North Sea still refused to believe that the genius of their own faction was eliminated just like that.

But obviously, people from other forces don't see it that way.

At a time like this, what else can delay us?

If there really is something, I won't deal with it at this time.

Seoul.

Su Ze couldn't help but frown in front of the big screen.

"Eliminated?"

To be honest, he thought it was unlikely.

Even if the college wants to eliminate people, it probably won't be so quick.

Unless Alex breaks the academy rules.

But any normal person would not do such a thing.

Is it possible?
A possibility suddenly occurred to him.

Su Ze's face changed.

"No way?"

Just now.

A voice brought him back to reality.

"Forget it, I guess Origin Academy will give an explanation!"

Su Ze shook his head and focused his attention on the picture.

at this time.

In the central square of Origin College.

Li Qingxuan has finished his opening remarks.

Finally, he faced the screen and slowly spoke:
Many people must be wondering why there are only 19 people participating in this college competition.

[Because, someone died during cultivation!] As soon as these words came out, countless people in front of the screen widened their eyes instantly.

died?

How can it be?

At this moment, countless people felt as if they were poured with a bucket of cold water.

Although I had heard that cultivation was difficult when the extraordinary things were announced before, I still didn't have a concrete concept.

It was not until now when they heard that someone had died, and it was such a genius, that everyone had a more intuitive feeling.

Even many people felt fear in their hearts.

You know, Alex is the top talent selected from all over the world.

If he is like this, wouldn't others be in even greater danger?
What kind of practice is this?

And the other side.

When Qin Xue, who was in Jiangcheng, heard these words, her expression did not change at all.

The awakening method, a martial art that begins with tempering the heart, is destined to be very dangerous.

Even a genius with top physical fitness and willpower is still an ordinary person after all.

If you are not careful, you will still die.

So it's no surprise that Alex died.

As for more people, although they have never understood Jue's thoughts, they are also very firm in their hearts.

After all, Alex was the only one who died out of the twenty people.

This means that as long as your willpower and physical fitness are strong enough, the risk of death is not that great.

If they really had to escape death, would the other 19 people continue to practice?

At this moment, Li Qingxuan continued:

[However, his death was not due to a lack of talent, but rather due to his strong talent! ]

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

What do you mean?
Without waiting for everyone to think about it, Li Qingxuan explained the reason.

"In a hurry?"

"Damn, so that's how it is. So if we're careful, we should be fine."

"Haha, why don't you listen to what you're saying? Be careful. The question is, are you qualified to practice? These are not questions you should be considering at all!"

"Who are you looking down on? Things change over time. Don't look down on the poor young man!"

"Oh, are you sure you'll still be a teenager in thirty years? I'm afraid half your body will be buried in the ground."

"..."

Soon, everyone's enthusiasm for discussion became high again.

Alex is totally asking for trouble.

However, the representatives from the North Sea Region in the stands had dark expressions on their faces.

Damn it, this is such a disgrace to the whole world!
They just wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

on the square.

After Li Qingxuan finished these irrelevant remarks, he returned to the matter of the college competition.

But the next process was Hua Changfeng's turn to preside over.

[Now, let me explain the specific rules of the college competition.]

【This college competition adopts.】

It took Hua Changfeng nearly ten minutes to explain the competition process and rules to everyone in detail.

This competition will last for three days in total.

On the first day, 19 people were selected and 10 were selected.

The next day, 10 out of 5 were selected.

The third day is the final.

After announcing the rules, Hua Changfeng continued:
[Now everyone comes up in turn to draw lots. The boxes in front contain ten sets of numbers, from one to ten.]

[Those who draw the same number will play against each other, and the remaining person will be a bye.]

[As for the order of appearance, it will also be from one to ten.]

【Who goes first? 】

As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Hong stepped out of the crowd.

In such an occasion, he would naturally be the first to show up.

"It's Nangong Hong, wow, he's so handsome!"

Seeing Nangong Hong's indifferent eyes and upright posture, many girls looked like crazy fans.

At this time, naturally many male compatriots were unhappy.

"Haha, superficial, what's the point of being handsome? Competitions aren't all about looks."

"Nice guy, wait until you can get into the Extraordinary Academy before you speak!"

"..."

This was a decisive blow.

While everyone was discussing, Nangong Hong also pulled out a piece of paper.

When Hua Changfeng saw this number, he looked strange.

[Nangong Hong, number 10.]

【Byes! 】

"Fuck, what bad luck!"

In the crowd, Bai Zhengyu couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"Isn't this great? Now I don't have to worry about being picked to be in the same group with him!"

Colster smiled.

Yes, most people think so.

No one wants to face Nangong Hong in the first round.

After all, no one is sure to defeat him.

Even if there is still a chance to challenge, no one wants to lose too badly in the first round.

Now that the biggest competitor is gone, the pressure on everyone is much less.

But at this moment, Nangong Hong's expression was stiff.

Damn it, he doesn’t want to be a bye!

[Director Hua, can I have another shot?]

【…】

After hearing these words, everyone was petrified instantly.

Hua Changfeng replied unhappily.

【no! 】

[Okay, next!]

Hearing this, Nangong Hong had no choice but to return to the crowd.

The second person to come out was Bai Zhengyu.

【Baek Jung-woo, No. 6】

Immediately afterwards, the third and fourth persons came out one after another.

【Payne, No. 8】

【Cortes, No. 2】

【Situ Yanran, No. 4】

The first five people did not have the same number, and it was not until the sixth person that a repeated number appeared.

[Sikong Yang, No. 8]

Upon hearing this, Payne in the crowd immediately looked at Sikong Yang.

Their eyes met, and both of them showed a solemn look.

"These two guys are actually grouped together. Looks like something good is about to happen!"

Sikong Yang and Payne's realms are both relatively advanced among the crowd.

It's hard to say who will win or lose between the two.

【Next!】

Ji Ruxue, No. 2

As soon as these words came out, a hint of joy flashed across Kolster's face.

"Hehe, it looks like I have a good chance of winning the first round!"

Next, more and more people drew the same number.

In less than ten minutes, all 19 people had drawn lots.

No. 1: Liu Xiaoyan and Jiang Zhe.

No. 2: Ji Ruxue and Corst.

No. 3: Mills and Yuan Liren.

No. 4: Situ Yanran and Greb.

Number 5: Erica and Constantine.

No. 6: Baek Jung-woo and Anthony.

No. 7: Lillian and Wei Lingjun.

No. 8: Sikong Yang and Payne.

No. 9: Ji Xuan and Xi Er.

As the battle list was matched, Hua Changfeng continued:

[I declare that the first college competition has officially begun! ]
