As today's competition came to a complete end, the students began to leave one after another. Wang Zheng and several teammates stayed behind to make subtle adjustments to their positions in preparation for tomorrow's team competition.

After all, Wang Dashao's opening shout has now become a standard feature of competitions, and various schools have made adjustments accordingly.

As the competition progresses, the teams' teamwork becomes increasingly sophisticated. Although this peculiar support team, led by Wang Dashao, has fared relatively well, they still cannot afford to be complacent.

Speaking of which, the martial arts tournament has now officially entered its most intense stage. Nanjing University has performed quite well and deserves praise, with Wang Zheng and Li Yi securing two spots in the top ten.

But things got much worse after that.

Despite his best efforts, Senior Xiao couldn't win the final round after the top 100.

Despite a do-or-die effort in the ranking battles from 50 to 100, and a decent performance, he ultimately only managed to stop at 71st place, unfortunately unable to advance any further.

As for Li Yi... although he won, the actual situation wasn't much better.

If it weren't for Young Master Wang giving him extra help and showering him with Holy Light spells after each match to help him recover, his body probably wouldn't have been able to take it.

Moreover, although Li Yi stumbled and barely made it through two more rounds, helping Nanjing University re-enter the top ten after two years, Wang Zheng also expressed his regret after seeing the information of the top ten competitors.

Well, even if our student council president were at his peak, he'd probably have a tough time against any of them.

After all, apart from Fang Bi, who had always been mysterious and whom he had never met, Wang Zheng had already scanned all the other top ten contestants.

Uh... Li Yi has the lowest spiritual energy limit and the lowest of all attributes.

In Wang Zheng's opinion, several of the top 20 were stronger than him. If he hadn't been lucky enough to avoid them, it was hard to say whether he could have made it into the top ten...

This year's martial arts tournament is outrageous; apart from Wang Zheng, who is a monster, there are no awakened individuals below rank B.

Two players have achieved a maximum spiritual energy level of over 5000 points and a special attribute level of over 60.

In previous years, players like these would have been able to win the championship outright. But now, they're all worried about encountering those two monsters, Wang Zheng and Fang Bi, early on and getting crushed...

Wang Zheng was somewhat envious of Li Yi's good luck. Although Li Yi's advancement was not particularly difficult, his opponents were a different story.

They were all strange and unusual abilities, such as the one with wings, the one that could become invisible or even eliminate its own aura, and the mental variant that could amplify the opponent's emotions and interfere with their thinking, and so on.

While it doesn't pose any real threat to him, it's still really annoying.

As the old saying goes, it's better to rank well than to fight well. There's nothing shameful about it; even Young Master Wang would envy that.

However, Old Man Chu was still somewhat dissatisfied with this and had some reservations about Wang Zheng's schedule.

At this point, he felt even more strongly that the organizing committee had wronged Nanjing University before. As for Li Yi, the old man secretly felt that it was all thanks to his protests, and that the good luck in these few rounds was just compensation...

As for Wang Zheng... he's offended so many people, so it's only natural that he's being targeted. There's nothing more to say about him.

(Wang Zheng: ??? Is this preferential treatment?)

Regardless of whether there was any foul play in Nanjing University's competition rounds, Nanjing University has achieved a new breakthrough this time.

Although Chu Tianxing said that his school had been treated unfairly, he was still somewhat happy about the students' hard work and the current results.

It's worth noting that last year, the best student from Nanyang Technological University only ranked 11th, and the year before that, the result was even worse, with only 13th place.

This year, not only did Wang Zheng, an unexpected prodigy, emerge, but Li Yi also lived up to expectations and made it into the top ten. Two contestants advanced at once, how could the old man not be overjoyed?

Not to mention they also had a good time in the team competition, although another team was eliminated early on by a team from Shanghai.

But Wang Zheng has already led his team into the top five, which is another new record.

Moreover, as long as we defeat our opponent tomorrow, we can smoothly enter the top three. Then, it all depends on whether Wang Zheng can withstand the combined efforts of the four opponents.

Speaking of the team competition, four rounds have been played so far. Apart from Wang Zheng himself, who has played in every single game, all four teammates have taken turns playing.

However, our young master Wang's brilliance is too overwhelming, so whether they replace him or not seems somewhat irrelevant.

This left the "Wenwu Brothers," who were eager to participate in the competition, and the "Knife Master," who wanted to prove himself, feeling somewhat uneasy.

As for Qin Yingtian, who was determined to win the championship in order to fulfill the wishes of his former teammates, he was even more distressed.

Although she won the game, she still felt that something was wrong.

The schedule was unbelievably smooth, completely different from the script I had imagined.

The story clearly begins with the team facing numerous difficulties in its formation. Shouldn't the subsequent events be about the team's arduous journey to success, their initial lack of confidence, their encounters with formidable opponents, and their eventual triumph through teamwork and the unleashing of their collective power to reverse the game and achieve victory?

How did we manage to push straight through?

Since the start of the team competition, no matter which team they faced, they crushed them with absolute strength, without any ripples, and were directly carried to victory.

Wang Zheng's strong performance made the others seem dispensable, as if they were just there to make up the numbers.

Looking at the junior beside him, whose eyes were vacant and whose gaze was blank, clearly lost in thought, Qin Yingtian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The girl, carrying the last wishes of her teammates, is now in a state of great turmoil.

For a moment, I didn't know whether I should be happy that the competition went smoothly, or feel wronged that we had become mere decorations.

Young Master Wang, on the other hand, seemed completely indifferent. If he knew what this senior was thinking, he would definitely say, "So pretentious!"

Wang Zheng is now very famous. Whether it's an individual competition or a team competition, after winning, countless reporters surround him, wanting to interview him.

Wang Zheng didn't find it annoying at all; after all, it was advertising his own school, which was a good thing.

However, some tabloids always deliberately take things out of context and maliciously distort them, which annoys him. That's how the title "One-Punch Man" got out last time.

I made up my mind to ignore these roadside tabloids from now on and only accept interviews from a few mainstream media outlets.

Now that I'm staying behind to prepare for the competition, I can also think about how I can praise my alma mater during the interview later.

After all, having boasted about how amazing Nanjing University was, how abundant its resources were, and how good the benefits were more than ten times in a row, even if Young Master Wang was eloquent and well-read, he was almost out of things to say now...
