It is worth mentioning that Qiu Xuan is the only naturally awakened one among the four people assigned by Chu Tianxing, with the highest spiritual energy limit and the strongest single attribute.
His panel showed a spiritual energy value of over 1600 points and a strength attribute of 47 points.
It was precisely because of his excellent swordsmanship and decent physical attributes that Chu Tianxing sent him over as a substitute.
Yes, that's right, a substitute!
Because his special ability wasn't very strong, he couldn't form a team, and even if he was forced to join, he could only be a substitute.
In reality, the people we see with strong combat abilities are always a minority, while the vast majority of awakened individuals in real life are those with average abilities like Qiu Xuan.
However, Qiu Xuan's situation also reveals how dire the admissions process was for Nanjing University in its early years.
Anyone who is naturally awakened will be recruited as a treasure; they can't be as picky as the two prestigious universities.
Perhaps due to his own special abilities, Qiu Xuan seemed somewhat aloof and spoke very little, unlike the Wenwu brothers who were cheerful or carefree.
Or perhaps it was because they were both naturally awakened individuals, and he was three years older than Wang Zheng. At this moment, one was a substitute and the other was the captain, and the difference in their status made him so disappointed.
However, the other party clearly knew that Wang Zheng was the backbone of the team and did not do anything inappropriate.
Wang Zheng never intended to offer any advice or guidance, nor could he change the world.
In any case, these were just temporarily assigned teammates. Wang Zheng, a guy who could speak to people in a way that was appropriate for the occasion, understood the basic social principle that it was taboo to be too intimate with someone you didn't know well.
Besides, he's just signing up. At worst, he can rotate through a few matches and let this senior get some playing time.
Then Zhang Kaiwen's healing effect overlaps with the Holy Light spell, so we'll rotate him around then.
After all, it would be quite awkward to win a championship without even playing a single match, and this was Wang Zheng's last act of kindness as captain...
As for the last one, that's someone Wang Zheng knows. She's the only woman among the four, and also the only third-year student. She's a newly awakened C-level individual, Qin Yingtian.
Yes, she's the senior student Wang Zheng met briefly when he first entered Nanjing University and even exchanged phone numbers with.
Six months later, Wang Zheng saw this gentle senior again. Her temperament was completely different from before. In just two months of practical training, this gentle senior had come to a complete understanding of the cruelty of this world.
When they first met, Wang Zheng was quite surprised. After realizing that it was an acquaintance, he was quite enthusiastic. However, the other party's attitude was somewhat cold, and there was a faint trace of worry and irritability between his brows.
Later, after asking Chu Tianxing, she understood that unlike the other three senior students, this junior student, who had a cold face just like Qiu Xuan, wasn't there to make up the numbers, nor was it that no team wanted her; it was just that her team was gone...
Since the beginning of last year, she joined a team on her own. With the help of her elders, the team leader successfully brought together the five-person group and they went to the military region in the north for practical training during the winter vacation.
For newcomers, the tasks are usually relatively easy when they first arrive at the military region. They are usually led by experienced officers on patrols or tasked with clearing out fixed groups of strange beasts.
Unfortunately, no one can predict whether an accident or tomorrow will come first.
A sudden outbreak of monster riots caused this rookie team to completely collapse.
One person died and four were injured, two of whom suffered physical disabilities. The disheartened captain then disbanded the team and sent Qin Yingtian, who was the least injured but was protected by everyone, back to find a team to compete with and carry on their dreams.
Qin Yingtian was initially unwilling, but her captain and two other senior students who had taken good care of her were already seniors. Even if they spent a lot of money to cure her body, they couldn't wait another year. That's why she came back with the team's dream to find a team to participate in the competition.
As a result, Qin Yingtian, who was full of enthusiasm and wanted to realize his teammates' dreams, was assigned to Wang Zheng's team by Chu Tianxing.
This is why she always had a cold face, and even when she saw Wang Zheng, she didn't give him a very friendly look.
This senior student Qin is quite strong after all. With her ability to resist spiritual energy and her C-level strength, she is already quite formidable.
Even though his spiritual energy limit was the lowest among them, his actual combat ability was still the strongest among the four.
What is spiritual resistance?
To put it simply, abilities like those of the "Wenwu Brothers" and Qiu Xuan, which grant status effects to themselves or their teammates, can be directly dispelled by her special ability.
Even most Paramecia-type ability users, such as those who can turn their entire body into steel or parts of their bodies into weapons, will be weakened to some extent under the influence of her abilities.
While elemental attacks cannot harm Awakened Ones, setting up a barrier can negate most of the damage.
It can be described as a versatile unit that combines support, defense, and self-preservation.
Moreover, this ability directly targets the spiritual energy level, removing beneficial supernatural abilities and naturally also dispelling a series of negative buffs such as burdens, burns, and spiritual energy toxins.
One ability with two uses—that's why she was noticed by upperclassmen and directly recruited into their team when she was only a D-level Awakener in her junior year.
This ability might be less effective against alien beasts, but it is quite powerful against human awakeners, especially those of the Paramecia type.
With such comprehensive superpowers and considerable skill, he could easily fill in as a substitute even if he had already secured a spot in a team, let alone return early to find another team.
Wang Zheng even thought that this senior could try to win a spot in the individual competition.
Of course, with the buff of teammates sacrificing themselves, they naturally wouldn't make that choice.
Under such circumstances, it's understandable that she looked unhappy after being forcibly assigned to Wang Zheng by Chu Tianxing.
If Wang Zheng hadn't been ranked first on Nanjing University's official strength list at the moment, this senior student probably would have quit immediately.
After all, she left school not long after the start of the semester last year, and most of the information about this freshman bully whom he had personally brought in was just hearsay.
Although I had witnessed Wang Zheng's performance in the exchange match against the Magic University, the strength he displayed at that time was merely passable.
Now that Wang Zheng has formed such an unusual four-support team, Qin Yingtian, who is determined to fulfill his teammates' last wishes, has already shown a lot of respect by not giving our young master Wang a hard time.
