"Zhu Qi, Zhu Yu, Zhu Fu, Zhu Shou, and Zhu Miao have been selected through layers of screening. They are very powerful!" Zhu Ning said, looking at Lan Ziye. After thinking for a moment, he suggested weakly: "Why don't we just admit defeat!"

"Yes, Zhu Qi, Zhu Yu, Zhu Fu, Zhu Shou and Zhu Miao are really amazing. They made it to the finals every year during their three years in junior high school, and they always ranked first or second. Moreover, they were very brutal. After every game, some of them lost limbs or were seriously injured. Another time, they even blew up a classmate's dantian. In the end, that classmate was abandoned by his family and forced to drop out of school!" Lan Rongrong said this with a look of regret on her face.

Lan Ziye smiled faintly, took out a palm-sized umbrella from his Qiankun bag, handed it to Lan Rongrong and Zhu Ning, and said, "This is a top-grade defensive magic weapon. Take it, and when you encounter danger, open this small umbrella and hide inside!" After a pause, he said, "Remember, you must hold the umbrella handle together to open it. I only have this defensive magic weapon, and you two must use it together!"

"Such a small...magic weapon?" Lan Rongrong looked at the small umbrella in her hand with an incredible look on her face and said in surprise.

"Once you open it, it will become the size of a normal umbrella. Don't worry, it's very useful!" Lan Ziye said with an encouraging smile.

"But, are magical weapons allowed in the competition?" Zhu Ning asked worriedly.

"Can't we use magic weapons in the competition?" Lan Ziye asked doubtfully.

They were all students of the academy and it was impossible for them to have treasures like magic weapons, so the competition did not make any special instructions regarding magic weapons.

Seeing Lan Rongrong and Zhu Ning's bewildered faces, Lan Ziye said, "You can use it if there are no rules! At a critical moment, if I can't take care of you, you can use this, okay? Everything should be based on your own safety. I don't want my team members to get hurt after a game."

Zhu Ning and Lan Rongrong looked at each other and decided that unless it was absolutely necessary, they would never use this magic weapon to give others any chance to criticize Lan Ziye.

"Then I'll put it away first!" Lan Rongrong carefully put the small umbrella into her pocket.

A moment later, the announcement sounded: "The competition begins now. The first group, You Ziqi's group from Class 1 (5) versus Yu Jia's group from Class 1 (4)!"

"Don't worry, there will be no problem! You just need to watch the game with peace of mind. Although this kind of game is a bit simple, it will still be beneficial for your future training!" Lan Ziye saw that the two were still full of worries and reminded them.

Lan Rongrong and Zhu Ning both looked towards the competition field after being reminded by Lan Ziye, but they still had no intention of watching the game and were still very worried.

Lan Ziye looked at them and shook his head. They both still need some growth!

The competition went on very quickly and soon it was the tenth round. Lan Ziye saw that the two teams that came out were Chen Lele's group and a group from Class 1 (2) of Senior High School.

Chen Lele and three other team members were seen walking into the stadium from the entrance with their hands in their trouser pockets. They looked very calm and composed, as if they had a plan in mind.

Lan Ziye narrowed her eyes. Could it be that she had seen wrongly? Did Chen Lele have some strength? →_→

"Why are they here?" Lan Rongrong suddenly asked in surprise.

Lan Ziye turned to look at Lan Rongrong curiously.
