Chapter 85 Chapter 85 [I mean everyone here...
"This... this is impossible!" the instructor from the First Academy cried out, his face filled with disbelief. "How long has it been since he started school? Even Ji Changsu's Bai Ze didn't grow at such an incredible rate!"
"Is there something wrong with the instrument?" The leader of the Second Academy couldn't help but question.
The leader of the Fourth Academy had an extremely ugly expression on his face. Yue Zhe stared at the words on the crystal pillar, his fists clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white, and his eyes were filled with jealousy.
The chief judge took a deep breath, suppressing his shock. He said in a deep voice, "An Jing, the Spirit Beast Platform's detection runes are uniformly engraved and maintained by the Alliance, and they have never been wrong. The levels of Jiang Qing from the Fifth Academy and his contracted Spirit Beast, Zhu Tianba, have been verified to be correct."
Although Renata, Ma Chengying and others were mentally prepared, they still felt a palpitation when they saw the astonishing data with their own eyes, and then they were filled with ecstasy.
Jiang Qing slowly withdrew his hand, and a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes.
It turns out that her panel data has become so high without her noticing?
Before leaving, she looked down at the group of people below, with only one sentence left in her mind.
"I'm not targeting anyone, I'm saying everyone here... is garbage!"
"Chief Judge, fellow instructors," Jiang Qing's voice was calm, breaking the silence. "The test results are in. May I ask if our Fifth Academy has committed any violations?"
The instructor of the First Academy opened his mouth, his face turned ashen, but he could no longer utter any words of doubt.
Everyone's level has been improved, which means that everyone has no problems.
Jiang Qing is just the tallest among the short ones and stands out the most.
The entire competition was broadcast live and recorded, and Jiang Qing and everyone else were under 24-hour surveillance, completely eliminating the possibility of her cheating.
It was precisely because of this that everyone was speechless.
The referee shook his head and solemnly announced: "The league will proceed as usual."
......
The next morning, the morning sun pierced through the dense mountain mists of Chongyue Territory.
Teams from each college have assembled at the designated entrance.
With the referee's order, the signal flare marking the official start of the fourth game rose into the sky with a long tail flame and exploded into brilliant spots of light.
[Attention all colleges, the Chongyue Realm competition has officially begun. The initial resource points have been marked, and the core resource point "Dragon's Saliva Cave" will be available mid-game. Good luck everyone.]
The broadcast echoed through the valley, and the organizers once again updated the rules of the game.
According to the established plan, the team of the Fifth Academy, led by Renata and Ma Chengying, headed towards a valley rich in metal deposits marked on the map.
Jiang Qing, Huo Qiushan and two other members of the school team who are good at reconnaissance once again formed a vanguard team, responsible for forward reconnaissance and waiting for opportunities to interfere with the opponent.
As soon as he entered the dense primeval jungle, Zhu Tianba became particularly active.
Its hooves gleamed in the forest light, and its dark vest made it almost blend in with the shadows of the forest floor.
"Something's happening." After walking for a while, Huo Qiushan, who was in charge of reconnaissance at the front, suddenly raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop.
In a clearing in the woods not far ahead, a small team from the Fourth Academy suddenly appeared. There were about six or seven people in the team. Yue Zhe was not seen in the team. The leader was the person who stood at the front of the Fourth Academy team before the game started.
He should be their new commander.
Several people came straight towards them, as if they had known that they would appear here.
Jiang Qing didn't run, nor did he take a step forward. He just waited for the person to come towards him.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Lu Cheng." A tall and thin young man with a stern face raised his hand to stop the team members behind him, his eyes fixed on Jiang Qing like a hawk.
"What's your relationship with Yue Zhe?" Jiang Qing's attention was all on Lu Cheng's face.
"He is my cousin." Lu Cheng had nothing to hide.
Jiang Qing dragged out the last syllable and said "Oh".
"So you are here to avenge your cousin?" Jiang Qing raised his eyebrows.
"I'm different from that idiot. On the contrary, I should thank you. If it weren't for his command error, I wouldn't be the commander now." Lu Cheng raised the corners of his lips and smiled evilly.
Jiang Qing nodded suddenly.
I understand. Yue Zhe left and someone more ambitious than him came.
Jiang Qing: "So how do you want to thank me?"
Without waiting for Lu Cheng to speak, Jiang Qing folded his arms, looked at him and said to himself, "Half of the points? It seems a bit low, after all, he's in command. It's such a big favor, so how about 80%?"
Lu Cheng saw the mockery in Jiang Qing's eyes and snorted coldly.
He raised his hand back and a hawk landed on his forearm.
"Sending you out is my way of repaying you." Lu Cheng said coldly.
As soon as Lu Cheng finished speaking, the members of the Fourth Academy behind him stepped forward and summoned their contracted spirit beasts.
For a moment, wolves howled and eagles cried, and spirit beasts of various shapes and fierce auras appeared in the clearing in the forest, locking onto Jiang Qing and the other three with hostility.
Huo Qiushan and two other members of the school team immediately took a defensive stance and summoned their own spirit beasts, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
However, Jiang Qing simply patted Zhu Tianba on the shoulder, signaling him to be patient.
She looked at Lu Cheng, a hint of a smile on her lips: "Send us out? Just with a few of you?"
Her tone was calm, but it carried an unquestionable confidence, as if the elite team from the Fourth Academy in front of her was not worth mentioning at all.
Lu Cheng's eyes turned cold: "Arrogant! I know you have some ability, and Zhu Tianba's rating is also amazing, but this is our Fourth Academy's home ground."
"Set up the formation!"
Following his command, the members of the Fourth Academy moved quickly, and the spirit beasts also changed their positions, forming a faint encirclement that surrounded Jiang Qing and the other three. An invisible pressure spread out.
This formation had obviously been specially trained, and it might have been developed specifically for them.
Huo Qiushan's expression changed slightly, and he whispered, "Jiang Qing, be careful. There's something strange about their formation. It can amplify the power of spirit beasts."
Jiang Qing nodded, his eyes still calm as he scanned the opponent's formation.
Lu Cheng snorted in his heart, and without further ado, he swung his arm: "Do it!"
The team members behind him dispersed instantly, and spirit beasts of various sizes surrounded Jiang Qing and his companions from different directions, obviously wanting to use the advantages of numbers and terrain to end the battle quickly.
"Tianba." Jiang Qing just called out softly.
Zhu Tianba, who had been lying on her shoulder seemingly lazily, opened his amber eyes.
It did not grow larger immediately, but jumped lightly to the ground, with its four hooves firmly on the ground. The golden patterns on the dark-colored vest seemed to flow.
The next moment, it raised its head and let out a low and powerful hum that was completely inconsistent with its petite body.
“Kang!!”
As it cried out, the ground beneath their feet trembled, began to crack, and became soft like sand.
It is the most basic attack move, ground shaking and quicksand transformation.
The agile spirit beasts rushing in the front felt the ground suddenly soften as soon as their feet touched the ground, as if they had stepped into sticky quicksand. Their speed dropped sharply and they even became unstable.
Lu Cheng seemed to have expected this. He ordered the other members to retreat while directing several others to attack from a distance.
Several members of the Fourth Academy who possessed flying or long-range attacking spirit beasts immediately launched an attack, with wind blades, fireballs, and ice cones all shooting towards Zhu Tianba.
However, Zhu Tianba did not dodge or evade, he just stomped his hooves slightly.
A thick wall made of a mixture of ice crystals and rocks suddenly rose from the ground, accurately blocking all attack routes.
Zhu Tianba, who is only 50% awakened, may still hesitate, but when the awakening level is over 85%, he doesn't need to take these attacks seriously at all.
"I was just defending just now. It's my turn to attack now," Jiang Qing said slowly.
"Tianba." Jiang Qing called out to Zhu Tianba who was having a lot of fun over there.
Zhu Tianba let out a "kang" sound and then returned all his previous attack moves to the opponent.
Suddenly, colorful balls of light fell from the sky, as brilliant as a meteor shower.
Huo Qiushan and the two team members following Jiang Qing didn't even have a chance to attack before they were suppressed and unable to resist.
Lu Cheng's face turned ashen under Zhu Tianba's violent elemental bombardment.
The team he brought was quite strong, but in front of Zhu Tianba, they were still so powerless that they couldn't even organize an effective counterattack. They could only hold up the defense in a clumsy manner. Defeat was only a matter of time.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
Finally, Lu Cheng couldn't bear it anymore: "Wait."
"Jiang Qing, it's boring to keep fighting like this." He suddenly raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop.
"Oh?" Jiang Qing raised an eyebrow, his tone a bit playful. "Then tell me, how can we make the fight more interesting? Giving away points might be a little more interesting."
Lu Cheng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the humiliation and shock in his heart. He stared at Jiang Qing sharply: "Commander against commander, spirit pet against spirit pet! You and I, 1v1, do you dare to accept it?"
He paused and added, "According to the 'Command Challenge' clause in the league rules, the loser will crush the points token on the spot and be eliminated. The winner will take half of the opposing team's current points."
"Command challenge?" Huo Qiushan frowned and explained to Jiang Qing in a low voice, "There is indeed such a rule, which is intended to quickly resolve battles and settle grievances between commanders, but few people use it because the risk is too great."
Once accepted, it means gambling on the commander's personal honor and a large number of team points.
Jiang Qing looked at the determination and a barely perceptible ruthlessness flashing in Lu Cheng's eyes, and realized that the other party had been forced into a desperate situation and wanted to make a desperate attempt.
If he wins, he can instantly reverse the decline of the Fourth Academy and step on the Fifth Academy's rising star commander's status to rise to the top.
If we lose, we will just be eliminated early, which is better than the whole team being crushed and eliminated.
Jiang Qing smiled. She gently stroked Zhu Tianba's soft fur on her shoulder and met Lu Cheng's gaze calmly: "But I'm not the commander, so I can't command a single battle with you."
Lu Cheng frowned and tried hard to think of a countermeasure in his mind.
The next second, Jiang Qing said, "But I accept your challenge. If I win, I want 80% of your points."
Lu Cheng thought about it for a moment and agreed directly.
No one noticed the curled corners of his lips.
Jiang Qing, if you dare to agree, I will make sure you die miserably!
