Chapter 269: Target of All! Inverting The Rules
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The participants from the three academies were at daggers drawn, especially the two high-level academies, Kaiyang and Yuheng.
Such a huge commotion naturally attracted everyone’s attention. As soon as the City Lord frowned, someone immedia tely came to maintain order.
Then, Chen Jinrong gave them a look. The two commentators immediately smiled and tried to smooth things over. “Looks like everyone’s fighting spirit is very high. We’ll definitely be able to see an exciting battle today!”
“That’s right! I saw that the lord of Yuheng Academy who has awakened the [Elemental Overlord] is also on the list of participants. Everyone who came to watch the battle is really going to have a feast for the eyes!”
“However, compared to [Elemental Overlord], I’m more looking forward to that beast…’
Before the commentator could finish speaking, Chen Jinrong suddenly gave him a stern look. Last night, Zhou Xiruo had found him and told him about Wang Xiao’s sudden disappearance. However, he had sent people to search for him for the entire night and did not find any clues.
Although the commentator did not know about this matter, he knew that Yuheng Academy had swapped participants at the last minute.
After being glared at by Chen Jinrong, he instantly reacted. He rolled his eyes and changed his words. “The handsome Liu Yuyang! I heard that although his [Lord Talent] is not high-level, his strength is also not to be underestimated!” “Is that so? Then we really have to take a good look!”
The two commentators echoed each other and quickly diverted the audience’s attention from the conflict.
At the same time, the staff also separated the people from the three academies, but the seeds of hostility had already been sowed at this moment.
Before leaving, Liu Yuyang gave Zhou Xiruo a smile that he thought was handsome. “Xiruo, just you wait. I will definitely make you my vassal lord!”
“Dream on!”
Xu Junrou spat and put her arm around Zhou Xiruo’s shoulder to comfort her. “Xiruo, don’t mind that kind of person. He must be talking nonsense because he didn’t sleep well!”
“Xu Junrou, thank you.”
Zhou Xiruo smiled, but this smile was a little forced. “Actually, I don’t care what he says. I only want to know how Wang Xiao is now.”
Hearing this, a strange light flashed in Xu Junrou’s eyes. However, in the end, she still squeezed Zhou Xiruo’s shoulder and advised gently, “Don’t worry, he’ll definitely be fine. He’s Wang Xiao!”
“Let’s hope so.”
Zhou Xiruo sighed softly, her red eyes filled with unconcealable disappointment.
At the same time, because all nine teams had arrived, the academy’s ranking assessment officially began.
After the City Lord and Chen Jinrong spoke, the commentator began to read out the rules of the academy’s ranking assessment.
“This year’s academy ranking assessment will be based on points. In the secretr realm you’re about to enter, a thousand mutated beasts have been placed in advance!”
“Among them, there are 500 platinum-quality exotic beasts. Each kill will give you 10 points. 300 gold-quality exotic beasts will give you 20 points each. 200 silver-quality exotic beasts will give you 30 points each. 100 black iron-quality exotic beasts will give you 50 points each!”
“Wait a minute!”
As soon as the commentator finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted in confusion, “Did you read it the wrong way? Platinum-quality exotic beasts are so dangerous, but their points are only one-fifth of black iron exotic beasts?”
“That’s right! A black iron-quality exotic beast kill should be 10 points, right?” “What a professional commentator! He can’t even understand the rules!”
Strong doubts erupted from the crowd, targeting the commentator who was reading the rules.
It wasn’t just the spectating crowd. Even the students of the nine teams revealed suspicious expressions. The most dangerous beasts would give them the lowest points. Such a rule was simply against common knowledge!
However, when he heard the crowd’s doubts, the commentator only smiled. “Everyone, calm down. When I finish reading the rules, everyone will know if there’s a mistake.”
Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately fell silent. The commentator cleared his throat and continued to read.
“Other than the mutated beasts in the secret realm, the participants also have corresponding points. If a participant is defeated, all his personal points will helnn? tn the winner The academy will not accumulate any thing!
“According to the ranking of the various academies, the points of the participants of each academy are also different. Next, I’ll announce this.”
“First, the Nine Heavens Academy, which is ranked at the bottom, will get 50 points for defeating ordinary members, and 100 points for defeating the captain! ”
“Next is Yaoguang Academy, which is ranked eighth. Ordinary members are 100 points, and the captain is 150 points!”
“Lastly, it’s also our famous old academy, the Kaiyang Academy! I believe everyone has already calculated that the ordinary members of the Kaiyang Academy are worth 500 points. If you defeat the captain, you can directly obtain 1,000 points!”
A gasp instantly sounded in the huge square. The expressions of the nine Academy Heads in the stands changed.
Under this rule, Fang Tianyu was equivalent to twenty black iron-quality exotic beasts.
There were only a hundred black iron-quality exotic beasts in the entire secret realm!
If he included the other members of the Kaiyang Academy, it would be a total of 5,500 points. It was undoubtedly a huge advantage for any academy!
In the stands, Huang Tingwei stared at the commentary platform with a dark expression. “A difference of a few thousand points… This is forcing the children to kill each other!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Academy Head of Kaiyang Academy, Qin Kaiyang, also said, “Moreover, the higher the grade of the mutated beast, the lower the value. No one will be willing to waste their energy to deal with the Platinum mutated beasts. This will also keep the danger level in the secret realm high!”
“The competition rules this time are really cruel…”
Academy Head Jiang of the Nine Heavens Academy laughed strangely. “This is the first time I’ve seen the benefits of being ranked low. Our entire team is only worth 550 points in total. It’s not even as high as your points as a captain!”
Hearing this, the two top two Academy Heads clenched their fists at the same time.
Huang Tingwei narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Stop being smug! The high points are the competition authorities’ recognition of our strength!”
“Is that so?”
Academy Head Jiang chuckled. “Your points as a captain are comparable to our entire team. I wonder if the strength of these children is worthy of such a difference?”
Huang Tingwei gritted his teeth and was about to speak when Qin Kaiyang raised his hand and stopped him.
“Old Huang, the competition system this time is very disadvantageous to us.”
Qin Kaiyang looked at the live broadcast screen and muttered, “This is no longer a ranking assessment. This is a massacre targeted at high-level people. It’s a complete reshuffle of the academy’s ranking!”
Huang Tingwei’s heart skipped a beat. He turned around and realized that several low-ranking Academy Heads were looking at them. Their eyes were not flickering with mockery or schadenfreude, but with the greed of a wild beast seeing its prey.
At the same time, among the nine teams in the preparation area, Fang Tianyu’s expression was even uglier than his Academy Head’s.
Although she did not turn around, after the commentator announced her score, she could clearly feel dozens of sharp gazes pinning her down like Imives!
