Chapter 151 Challenge (guaranteed first update)

Several people looked at each other without any hesitation. If they didn’t even dare to challenge, then why did they come here?

The whole group filed up and arrived at the edge of the pond.

The pond is not big, less than 100 meters in radius, but the water is clear enough to drink.

Seeing the newcomers coming, the warriors who were resting by the pond all raised their heads and looked at this group of freshmen.

“New this year.”

"I calculated the time and it's about time. It looks like this group of people are pretty strong."

"I don't know if they are strong enough, but they are pretty good-looking, especially the girl. The two boys are also pretty handsome."

"Good looks can't be used to make a living. At least the ants down here don't care whether you are handsome or not. What matters most is getting the star crystals."

These warriors talked among themselves, but did not move. They obviously wanted to see which side these new warriors wanted to challenge.

This kind of thing happens once a year, and these people are all former students, so they are used to it. However, they are watching with great interest at this moment. After all, life inside the Star Fruit Tree is very boring.

Brother Guang led them to a tree trunk where a piece of bark had been peeled off, on which was written the grouping of the three branches.

"Here are the groups of the three branches. Remember, each branch can only be divided into three groups, and you can only start the challenge from the third place. Here are their detailed information. Take a look and tell me when you make a decision."

People came to the blackboard-like bark and looked at the rankings on the three branches.

The one on the left, the third group, students from the 495th class, five members, captained by Zhang Sicheng.

The second group is a mixed group of students, with five members and Xu Tianjiao as the captain.

The first group, students from the 492nd class, has five members, with Nie Zhenwei as the team leader.

Seeing this, Jiang Huai couldn't help but burst out with a swear word: "Damn! How come there are still people from the 492nd class? Doesn't that mean they came five years earlier than us? Five years have passed, and these people haven't left the Star Fruit Tree yet. Do they plan to stay here until they grow old? Are they going to let the new students live?"

Lin Zhen said beside him: "Don't forget the Liang Feng we met when we first came here. He has been here for eight years."

Jiang Huai sighed, "It seems that it is really difficult for newcomers to survive here."

Then looking down, there are also three groups in the middle. The first group is a mixed group. Not only are there students from the previous two classes, but the team leader is even a student from the 490th class, who has been here for seven years.

Of the three groups on the right, the first group are from the class of 491.

According to the rules, a group must consist of five people. If a challenger challenges, the number of people on the field must be the same as the number of people in the other team's group. They cannot rush forward at the same time, as having more people is of no use.

Everyone looked at Ma Mingxing, who said a little embarrassedly, "I didn't really understand it either. I thought there was strength in numbers, so I asked for more people. But it doesn't matter. We can form two teams. It's better if we can move forward together, hehe."

No one said anything, but everyone thought that what Ma Mingxing said made some sense. Since so many people couldn't be used, they could just form another team.

But how to form a team is also a difficult problem.

Su Mingyue is definitely going to be with Lin Zhen, while Ma Mingxing wants to be with Jiang Huai. Sun Tie and the other four Tianfu warriors don't want to separate. There are also two warriors from Beijing Base City who want to follow Su Mingyue. After all, Su Mingyue is almost a flagship figure of Beijing Base City.

After a while of discussion, Sun Tie was assigned to Lin Zhen's group, while Jiang Huai and Ma Mingxing formed a team with three other Tianfu warriors.

In this way, both teams have some competitiveness. Needless to say, Lin Zhen and Su Mingyue are the two warriors from the capital, one is a high-level general and the other is a mid-level general. Sun Tie is also a mid-level general. Their strength is not bad.

In the other team, Jiang Huai is the leader. There are also two high-level generals among the three Tianfu warriors. Ma Mingxing and another person are mid-level generals. Overall, their strength seems to be similar to that of Lin Zhen's side.

Two teams were formed. Jiang Huai was the captain over there, and the captain position on this side was originally supposed to be given to Su Mingyue, but Su Mingyue insisted on giving it to Lin Zhen, acting like a good girlfriend, which left Lin Zhen speechless.

The captains were also selected and informed to Brother Guang, who gave the two teams two number plates and told them that they could start choosing opponents to challenge.

The people in the third group looked at Lin Zhen and his group with squinted eyes, obviously not taking these two rookie teams seriously.

In front of the left branch, the captain of the 495th class, Zhang Sicheng, even whistled, "Hey! That beautiful lady, do you want to fight with us? Your boyfriend is just a mid-level warrior. There is no future for him if he joins that team. If you come over here, I will definitely make room for you."

Su Mingyue didn't say anything. As the fake boyfriend, Lin Zhen couldn't remain indifferent. He retorted, "If you guys vacate all the seats, I'll consider it. Otherwise, forget it."

"Haha! You brat is so arrogant. What do you think? Do you have the courage to challenge us? If you win, I can't say how much you will win, but you will still have the chance to get one or two star crystals every week."

The third-place team has one day every week, and if they are lucky enough, they do have a chance to pick up some good star crystals.

Before Lin Zhen made up his mind, Su Mingyue suddenly whispered in his ear, "Just challenge them. This person doesn't speak well."

Lin Zhen nodded. The other party was from the class of 495, only two classes higher than them. It seemed that he should not be particularly difficult to deal with.

He turned to Brother Guang and said, "Brother Guang, we have decided to challenge the 495th team."

"Okay, just decide. Team battle or individual battle?"

"What's the difference?"

"There is a difference. Team battles are five on five, fighting as a group. Individual battles are also five on five, best of three."

Lin Zhen and Su Mingyue discussed it and decided to have an individual battle. At least Lin Zhen and Su Mingyue were relatively confident. As long as one teammate performed well and won a game, they would have a good chance of winning.

At this time, Jiang Huai had also made his choice to challenge the third group on the right, which was also an individual battle.

Seeing that they had made their choice, Brother Guang said to the people on both sides: "Now you each arrange your battle order. Don't let the other side see it. Once you have arranged it, just hand it over to me."

The five senior generals over there walked aside to discuss the matter with laughter. This kind of battle happened every week and they were already used to it.

Lin Zhen and a few others immediately started discussing nervously.

Su Mingyue took the lead and said, "I will be the first to fight and try to win the next one."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Lin Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Then I will be the last one to play. If the score is 2-2, I will try to win the last game."

As for the remaining three people, Sun Tie will have the second match, Fu Haisheng, a senior general from the capital, will have the third match, and Luo Zhen, a mid-level general from the capital, will have the fourth match.

The order was arranged and handed over to Brother Guang, who had already received the other party's order, and then said to them: "Come with me over here, we will start right away."

The two teams followed Brother Guang and came to a huge tree stump after turning a corner. The stump was dozens of meters thick and one meter high, like a natural arena.

There were also quite a few warriors who had nothing to do and came to watch. On the contrary, there were very few people who went to see Jiang Huai and the others. Among those who came here, nine out of ten came to see Su Mingyue. After all, beautiful women are pleasing to the eyes, and women are rare creatures here.

Brother Guang said to the people on both sides: "In the arena competition, we have a rule that no killing is allowed. If someone kills the other person by mistake, then your team will not be able to challenge again for a month, and the person who killed the other person will be expelled and will never be allowed to appear in the ant nest again. Do you understand?"

The warriors all nodded. Although they couldn't use their skills too much if they couldn't kill anyone, they were all generals and there were plenty of ways to defeat the opponent without killing anyone.

"Okay, now let's get ready to start. The first contestant can go on stage."

Among the 495 people, Zhang Sicheng was the first to come on stage.

His weapon was a large circular knife, which he began to wave loudly after he entered the stage: "Newbies, welcome to the Ant Cave. I, Zhang Sicheng, will teach you a good lesson here. I will let you know that when you are here, you must practice diligently and endure the time. Don't try to challenge the seniors, or you will lose miserably."

Su Mingyue snorted coldly, twisted her body and jumped lightly onto the stage.

Su Mingyue was still wearing the white priest robe today. Until now, she had not decided whether to continue to believe in the True God of the Starry Sky, but wearing this robe had become her habit and she could not change it for the time being.

Wearing a beautiful long dress, a golden ribbon, cascading black hair and a fairy-like face, Su Mingyue was greeted with applause as soon as she came on stage.

"Come on, beauty, defeat that gorilla Zhang Sicheng!"

"What did I see, a real-life Beauty and the Beast?"

"Zhang Sicheng, if you can show some mercy and let the beauty go, I'll give you one of the planetary crystals our team gets next time. How about that?"

Although everyone supported Su Mingyue, no one really thought that this delicate girl could be a match for Zhang Sicheng.

Zhang Sicheng didn't expect that it was Su Mingyue who came on the stage. He was stunned for a moment and then laughed, "Hehe, don't worry, young lady. Although I, Zhang Sicheng, look rude, I am not someone who doesn't know how to be gentle with women. I promise to treat you with care and not hurt a single hair on your head."

Su Mingyue didn't answer him at all. She took out her sword that was surrounded by cold light and made a starting stance.

"Your posture is quite decent, but I don't know if you can kill an ant. People like you shouldn't be warriors. It would be better for you to stay at home embroidering and taking care of children. I can support you for the rest of your life."

Zhang Sicheng is not an idiot. Although he flirts with Su Mingyue with sweet words, he is actually very cautious. He hopes to make Su Mingyue lose her composure in this way.

But Su Mingyue was not the kind of girl who could be easily disturbed. Her life as a saint made it difficult for her to be shaken by anything. She took advantage of the moment when Zhang Sicheng was speaking and suddenly attacked!

It would be fine if he didn't make a move, but once he did, it was earth-shattering, even Lin Zhen was shocked! Because the fighting skills used by Su Mingyue were actually stolen from him!
