Bai Miao found Lu Yan and began to explain the combat techniques and focus of the others to him so that they could increase their cooperation during the team battle.
After a simple chat, it was already time for dinner. Lu Yan and Bai Miao went to the restaurant for a meal and Bai Miao continued to explain.
After hearing Bai Miao’s words, Lu Yan already had a rough understanding of the strength of the other new students.
Everyone had improved quite a lot from the special training. On average, they were at level 18, and about four to five of them were at level 19.
Level increase was not the most important. More importantly, everyone’s strength had increased a lot in this special training.
These increases in strength were not only reflected in the increase in their four attributes, but also in the use of their strength. In general, their combat strength had all increased by quite a bit.
“By the way, there’s Li Mei’er’s position defense battle in the afternoon. Let’s go and take a look together. It’s also a direct way for you to understand Li Mei’er’s situation.” Bai Miao thought of something and looked at Lu Yan.
Lu Yan nodded. It was not bad to go and watch Li Mei’er’s battle. He could also understand Li Mei’er’s current combat strength.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the school’s arena. At this moment, Li Mei’er had already begun to welcome the challenges of the other new students on the largest arena.
The national new student exchange competition was an opportunity that all new students dreamed of. There were naturally many challenges for Li Mei’er.
When the two of them arrived, Li Mei’er was already fighting the third new student.
This was a mage. After bowing to Li Mei’er on the arena, the staff in his hand began to emit dense fire power.
Li Mei’er did not hesitate at all and directly released a ball of pink flames from her hand towards the other party.
“This is Li Mei’er’s Fallen Flame. After it lands on you, not only can the flames cause a burning effect, but it can also wear down your fighting spirit and reduce your desire to attack. The effects are most obvious in reducing your attack speed and movement speed,” Bai Miao explained to Lu Yan from the side.
Lu Yan nodded. This ability was still very powerful. Although the burning effect did not seem to be as powerful as fire magic, the main effect was its ability to mess with the opponent. It still worked very well.
Li Mei’er’s Fallen Flame forced the mage in front of her to stop casting her spell and quickly dodge this attack.
However, in the next moment, Li Mei’er’s figure appeared behind the mage like a ghost. A dagger was directly pressed against the neck of this new mage.
The mage new student’s body froze before he directly admitted defeat.
Lu Yan was also stunned when he saw this. He did not even see Li Mei’er’s actions clearly just now. It should be an ability similar to the Monarch Netherworld Escape.
“Li Mei’er is an assassin?” Lu Yan looked at Bai Miao beside him and asked softly.
Li Mei’er’s battle movements just now were similar to an assassin.
Bai Miao smiled and said, “This is Li Mei’er’s bloodline ability. Li Mei’er’s combat strength is very comprehensive.”
“She’s very powerful in close combat and can also attack with magic attacks from afar. Her chasing and dodging abilities are also top-notch. Other than her relatively weak defense, she almost doesn’t have any shortcomings.”
Hearing Bai Miao’s words, Lu Yan nodded. Previously, he did not know much about succubi. Now, it seemed that succubi did not only have a powerful charm.
Of course, it might also be because Li Mei’er was relatively special.
After watching Li Mei’er’s battle for the entire afternoon, Lu Yan already had a full understanding of her.
In the next few days, Lu Yan and the others were increasing their strength to welcome the new student exchange competition.
Yuna had also been cooped up in Lu Yan’s dormitory. Other than eating, she played games every day and had become a homebody.
Sometimes, Lu Yan even caught Yuna secretly playing games in the middle of the night and warned her to stop playing games at night. He even had to threaten to take away her play time during the day before getting the other party to stop.
Four days later, the preliminary competition of the national new student exchange competition began.
Li Mei’er also successfully defended her position. None of the new students successfully defeated her.
Lei Shuo and Liu Quan personally led the team to the nearby Xingming University to participate in this year’s preliminary competition.
The new student exchange competition in Suhang Province was held by the universities in Suhang Province in turn. This year, it was the Xingming University’s turn to hold it.
All the university participants in Suhang Province had reached Xingming University.
Xingming University first arranged for food and accommodation. Then, everyone rested briefly. In the afternoon, they announced that the preliminary round of the new student exchange competition for the Suhang Province had officially begun.
Under the lead of Lei Shuo and Liu Quan, Lu Yan and the ten new students quickly arrived at the stadium of Xingming University.
At this moment, this place was already noisy. There were quite a lot of people as all the universities in the entire Suhang Province participated.
Moreover, the new student exchange competition this time would be shared through a live broadcast.
The rules of the preliminary competition were still relatively simple. There were only individual battles and no team competition.
After all the participants entered, the principal of Xingming University, Li Jianfeng, arrived at the large arena in the center of the stadium and began to introduce the rules of this preliminary competition.
Li Jianfeng waved his arm, and the large arena was instantly divided into ten arenas.
Pointing at the ten surrounding arenas, Li Jianfeng said, “Welcome to our Xingming University and the preliminaries of this year’s national university new student exchange competition. As the principal of our Xingming University, I will now introduce the rules of the preliminary competition to everyone.
“The rules of the preliminary competition this time are the same as last year’s. It will be held in the arena!
“The top ten universities in Suhang Province that represented Suhang Province to participate in the main competition of the national new student exchange competition last year will each be assigned an arena and become the arena lord.
“The arena lord can send the new students of the school to defend the arena. The new students of the other universities will each have a challenge opportunity and can challenge the arena lord. After succeeding, they will become the new arena lord.
“After all the new students’ challenge opportunities are used up, whichever universities that are still on the arena will be the top ten universities of the Suhang Province preliminary competition. They will represent Suhang Province to participate in the official competition of the national new student exchange competition!”
Hearing Li Jianfeng’s words, the surrounding people nodded. This was the same rule as before and was relatively recognized.
“Every new student has a chance to challenge other students. After the new students finish defending in the arena battle, they will be fully recovered by the high level priest. It will not be a chaotic battle. It’s still relatively fair.”
“That’s right. However, the final spots will probably be the same as last year. They should basically all be the same as the top ten of Suhang Province last year. It can’t be helped. Their foundation is too powerful. I just hope that the defending students sent by the top ten will be relatively weak. At that time, we can at least win and make an appearance.”
“That’s not necessarily true. Dark horses still appeared in the past. It still depends on the specific situation.”
The top ten universities last year had very rich foundations. They would definitely be able to recruit more talented new students, so the outcome would basically not change much.
Of course, there were also dark horses who rushed out, but such situations were relatively rare.
Lu Yan looked at the arena in front of him. He did not expect the preliminary round of the national new student exchange competition to be held in the arena.
At the side, Lei Shuo looked at Liu Quan and asked, “How about it? Do you want to send a new student with about the same strength to the arena to test the waters first?”
Generally speaking, the schools guarding the arena would send mid-range new students to guard the arena. Firstly, it was so that they could observe the situation. Secondly, even if they were challenged and lost, it was not a big deal. They could just observe the other arenas and then challenge the weaker arena masters.
This method was the safest. Unless one was very confident in the strength of their new students, usually, no university would directly send out the new students with relatively high strength to defend the arena.
Just as he was thinking, a voice suddenly sounded from below.
“Hey! Lu Yan, I didn’t expect you to really come to the preliminary round of the new student exchange competition. How about it? Do you want to go to the arena? I’ll challenge your Golden Corner Academy first!”
Lu Yan frowned and looked in the direction of the voice. He discovered that the person shouting was the Yang Fenghu he had encountered in the Heavenly Blessing Restaurant.
