Chapter 216 - 216 The National Class Tournament Begins!
On the other side, the National Class Tournament organizing committee.
“This year’s National Class Tournament is a gathering of geniuses. There’s a student who has broken through level 50 participating!”
A few old men gathered and discussed the students participating in the tournament.
“Are you talking about Zhou Qingfeng from Zhejiang Hunter University? He’s an out-and-out monster!”
!!
“I wonder if his appearance will change the results of Zhejiang Hunter University.”
Some people were not optimistic.
“I think it’ll be difficult. Zhejiang Hunter University is short on students, and Zhou Qingfeng can’t do it alone. If Zhou Qingfeng can do it this year, what about next year or the year after?”
One of them was holding the information of the participants from Zhejiang Hunter University and was discussing it among themselves.
“That’s right. They’re sending a first-year student to participate in the tournament, and a magician at that.”
Another person agreed and handed Lu Benwei’s information to the crowd. Everyone picked it up and looked at it. They immediately frowned.
It could be said that apart from Lu Benwei’s level and being the top scorer in province B, there was nothing else.
“No wonder Chen Yuan complained to us every year. I didn’t expect that there would be such a shortage of talent at Zhejiang Hunter University.”
“If you’re really thinking for him, why don’t you allocate more resources?”
“Forget it then. The war is intense, and any resources are precious.”
Everyone’s mood became heavy as they spoke.
Liu Yi sighed deeply. He did not know how long this battle between man and monster would last.
…
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the National Class Tournament.
For this, Li City made a lot of preparations three months ago.
Three 10,000-person sports stadiums were built, which could accommodate the participating students from hundreds of schools.
Everyone in the Dragon Kingdom was also looking at them.
To ensure fairness, the National Class Tournament would be broadcasted live.
The main venue was full of people. There were more than ten thousand students from the nine hunter universities and the first-rate universities. They occupied the center of the hall. As for the second-and third-rate hunter universities, they were located in the two guilds next door.
Twenty minutes before the National Class Tournament officially began, a terrifying aura suddenly came from the three connected guilds.
“Be quiet!”
Immediately, the three guilds fell silent.
A black-robed middle-aged man and two white-robed elders were floating in the air. They had a powerful aura.
The black-robed elder said in a deep voice, “First of all, let’s welcome all the top talents from afar to participate in the annual National Class Tournament! Let’s cut to the chase and let me read out the rules of this tournament!
“The tournament uses a layered elimination system, and the battle will start in teams. I want you to pass the first stage of the jungle of mysteries within a week!”
As soon as he said that, the participants on the stage and the audience below the stage began to discuss.
“He wants us to clear the secret realm within the stipulated time?!”
“There are so many people, can we squeeze in?”
“Silent! Let me finish,” the black-robed middle-aged man said in a deep voice, “The jungle of mysteries is a level-two secret realm. To clear a secret realm of this level, the average level of the entire team must be at least level 35. In addition, I believe that some people are no strangers to the jungle of mysteries.”
It was also at this moment that a small group of audience members below the stage began to discuss.
“The secret realm of the jungle of mysteries. Is that the jungle of mysteries in our province?”
“It must be. I heard that the jungle of mysteries has been off-limits for a month.”
“Oh, I see.”
The jungle of mysteries was the largest secret realm in Yun Province and the biggest in the Dragon Kingdom.
The black-robed man cleared his throat and continued to speak with a dignified voice, “Yes, that’s right. The preliminaries are currently in the secret realm of the jungle of mysteries in Yun Province.
“As early as a few months ago, several pillars of the Dragon Kingdom had joined forces to seal the most dangerous existence in the secret realm. They set up an exit in the deepest part of the forest of mysteries as the end.
“At the same time, we’ve also set up security personnel in the secret realm to ensure the safety of all students throughout the entire process. However, as soon as the security personnel makes a move, it means that you’re eliminated.”
The black-robed man explained the rules of the preliminary round.
“The rules have been explained. Any objections are reserved!”
The crowd was filled with complaints, but the black-robed middle-aged man ignored them.
“Now, all students, please scan your fingerprints and enter the teleportation array.”
The four big screens in each venue lit up instantly. Then, the drone in charge of the live broadcast scanned the faces of every student. Some looked excited, while others looked calm and composed as if they had won.
“I hereby announce the start of the National Class Tournament!”
Following the black-robed middle-aged man’s command, a huge teleportation array lit up in the three venues.
In front of the array, there was a device. Through him, the information of each team would be scanned and transformed into electric signals for the world to see.
The geniuses of Huaqing Hunter University and Yanjing Hunter University took the lead and entered the portal at a fast speed.
[The first team from Huaqing Hunter University, the captain is a fourth-grade student…] Members…”
[The second team from Yanjing Hunter University… Level 45, Class…]
…
The information about the geniuses from various schools was dazzling and overwhelming.
“F*ck, this team is full of hidden classes. No wonder it’s Huaqing Hunter University!”
“Look at the fourth team from Yanjing Hunter University. They are all above level 45!”
“The remaining seven hunter universities aren’t bad either. They’re all above level 40. As you can see, the other schools aren’t as good as them. It’s already good enough that they have a second class student.”
It was finally time for the participants from Zhejiang Hunter University to take action.
[The first team from Zhejiang Hunter University. The team leader is Zhou Qingfeng. A fourth-year student. Level 53. Class is divine flame knight of judgment. His team members are…]
The moment Zhou Qingfeng’s message was released, it immediately caused a huge reaction.
“Holy sh*t! A level-53 divine flame knight of judgment!”
“This level is unprecedented and will never be achieved in the future. To reach this level in his early 20s, his future is limitless.”
One must know that after the second transition, every subsequent level up would require an exponential amount of effort. Breaking through level 50 was also an extremely difficult ravine to cross.
Many people were unable to break through level 50 in their entire lives. As a result, level 50 was also known as the threshold of the strong.
Zhou Qingfeng’s achievement of level 53 earned him the praise of many.
While the crowd was in a discussion, Lu Benwei said to Chu Yan and the other three, “Let’s not waste any time. Let’s enter the teleportation array as well.”
