Chapter 120: The Competition Begins
Chapter 120: The Competition Begins
Wang Chen's expression turned slightly cold upon hearing this.
However, he didn't say much.
He had already decided internally that if he encountered the Mosters Academy team, he would make them regret it thoroughly!
"Let's have lunch first, then continue with our warm-up training."
"The competition starts tomorrow."
Teacher Gu Lan said with a smile.
She had great confidence in this year's team.
Of course, she mainly had confidence in Wang Chen.
Additionally, the rest of the team members were not to be underestimated even on their own.
"By the way..."
While having lunch.
Teacher Gu Lan's tone shifted as she looked at everyone and said, "You should all know that in recent years, our Dragon Nation's performance in the inter-racial freshman exchange competition has not been great."
"So, to encourage our academy's team to strive for the first place, the school has promised that if we achieve first place in the competition, each person will receive 200,000 credits, a piece of Legendary Two-Star equipment, and an SS-level skill book."
Wow!
Hearing this.
Even the wealthy children like Meng Yongsheng and Shen Miao couldn't help but be surprised.
200,000 credits!
A piece of Legendary Two-Star equipment!
An SS-level skill book!
Such rewards were really not bad at all!
They were even extremely generous!
The purchasing power of 200,000 credits didn't need to be elaborated on.
Even though Wang Chen had collected many challengers' credits during the freshman exam, the total only amounted to a few thousand credits.
Now, suddenly being rewarded with 200,000 credits...
The generosity was truly overwhelming.
Additionally, there was a piece of Legendary Two-Star equipment, which could be chosen for any part.
It could be armor, a weapon, or even jewelry.
Legendary Two-Star equipment was highly valuable, partly because it was hard to drop in dungeons, and partly because crafting such equipment required a weapon smith of Legendary rank or higher.
Upgrading a secondary profession was already challenging.
Weapon smiths of Legendary rank or higher were even rarer.
So the school's ability to reward such equipment was indeed very generous.
As for the SS-level skill book, it could be a skill specific to one's profession or a general skill.
This wave of rewards...
The school had shown great sincerity.
The choices were highly diverse.
"Alright, lunch is over, and I've said what I needed to say."
"Use the remaining time to train well."
"The competition starts tomorrow, so do your best!"
Teacher Gu Lan instructed.
"And try not to go out if possible. With the competition approaching, the atmosphere between schools is tense, and everyone is aiming for the championship. If teams encounter each other, conflicts might arise, and if a fight breaks out, it could lead to disqualification, which isn't worth it."
"So, try not to go out..."
Teacher Gu Lan gave a final reminder.
"Understood."
Meng Yongsheng, Shen Miao, and the others naturally nodded obediently.
"Especially you, Wang Chen."
At this moment, Teacher Gu Lan turned her head and looked at Wang Chen, scolding him lightly.
"Ah?"
Wang Chen, who was in a daze, was taken aback.
"Don't 'ah' me. With your vengeful nature, you're the most dangerous one."
Teacher Gu Lan rolled her eyes.
This student was recruited by her, and although they hadn't been together for long, she understood his character very well.
Two words summed it up: arrogant.
From the first moment she saw this student, Gu Lan knew that although he appeared harmless, if provoked, he would turn into a fierce tiger and tear the opponent apart.
On the day of the entrance exam, if no one had been watching, the junior student whom Wang Chen defeated would probably have met a grim fate.
Don't doubt it...
This Wang Chen was definitely capable of such actions.
"Teacher, Wang Chen is so strong, if there's any danger, it should be other teams that are in danger." Shen Miao said with a playful smile.
"I'm saying this because if he's not monitored, other teams will be in great danger."
Teacher Gu Lan sighed lightly and said, "If two school teams have a conflict and fight, it's at most a mutual brawl, and even if it escalates, it doesn't matter. But if Wang Chen gets involved, it will be one-sided, and even if our academy is in the right, it will become wrong."
During the competition, fights between teams were strictly prohibited.
The lightest punishment was a warning, and the most severe was immediate disqualification.
If it turned into a one-sided situation, there was no need to look...
Even if the winning side was in the right, they would still be disqualified from the competition.
Does it seem like a ridiculous rule?
It's quite normal.
Just like in real life, if you get into a fight with someone, even if you're in the right, if the other person doesn't fight back and gets hurt, you'll end up having to compensate them.
"No, I'll stay here and keep an eye on Wang Chen."
"The main thing is that this kid attracts too much trouble..."
Teacher Gu Lan, who was about to leave, ended up sitting next to Wang Chen, reading a book by herself.
Wang Chen smiled helplessly.
And so.
Under Teacher Gu Lan's watchful eye, the day passed quietly.
The next day.
Morning, seven o'clock.
Boom!
A grand magic firework ascended directly into the sky, exploding into dazzling red lights.
In the most famous 'Nightmare Colosseum' of Mosters Academy, the seats were already filled with people, and the whole place was buzzing with excitement.
These were naturally spectators from the outside world who had spent a high price to buy tickets to watch the event in person.
Nightmare Colosseum was the largest competition venue in Tianling Province.
And it had some very old legends associated with it.
Moreover.
Such a grand event, the deans of all the major academies would naturally not miss it.
Dean He Fu'an from Xuanyuan Academy was also present.
However, the trivial matters of leading the team were all handled by Teacher Gu Lan.
It was just early in the morning, and the sun had just risen.
But the enthusiasm here had already exploded.
One could imagine how much anticipation there was for the inter-racial freshman exchange competition.
Of course...
The freshmen from other races had already arrived and settled in the day before.
"Look!"
"It's about to start! All the participating teams are about to enter!"
At this moment.
Amid the exclamations of some spectators, one competition team after another walked into the Nightmare Colosseum.
The students from Mosters Academy were the first team to enter the venue.
The spectators in the stands erupted in enthusiastic cheers when they saw them.
"Mosters Academy, go!"
"Defeat all the teams and take the championship!"
Most of these spectators were locals from Tianling Province.
Naturally, they supported Mosters Academy.
And when they saw the team from Xuanyuan Academy entering...
"Boo!"
Most of the spectators immediately started booing.
