As the competition progressed, the restrictions imposed on Wang Zheng did not generate much of a response.
On the one hand, Chu Tianxing knew his beloved disciple's abilities and therefore did not oppose or protest against them.
Secondly, after discovering that Wang Zheng was indeed carrying a storage ring, the universities that received the news were so anxious that they had no time to do anything else.
After all, there were no relevant rules in the martial arts tournament. Are we going to have to argue with the Ministry of Education again?
That evening, when all the principals gathered together, some of them couldn't help but confront Chu Tianxing.
"Hey Lao Chu, you're really playing too much. These are just kids' competitions, and you're giving away storage rings. It's so embarrassing if word gets out..."
Chu Tianxing looked completely indifferent, treating the other party's words as if they were talking nonsense.
“That ring has been his since last year. He only gave it to me because I needed it. Besides, you bunch of old scoundrels don’t feel ashamed to cause trouble at the organizing committee, so why should I feel ashamed?”
"Hey, Old Chu, that's not very interesting. How did your storage ring end up being his?"
"Exactly, exactly. We just wanted to see where your kid's limits were. Isn't that the same idea as Minister Zhao's? After all, who participates in an awakened contest without using their abilities, just relying on brute force..."
It has to be said that since meeting Wang Zheng, Old Chu, who used to be all talk and no action, has become much more eloquent. Now, facing the siege of a group of old rivals, he remains calm and composed, not at all at a disadvantage.
"Sigh, I don't understand what you're saying. If you can't rely on strength, then according to you, all Paramecia types should just be disqualified from the competition."
Besides, Wang Zheng isn't someone who hasn't used his abilities before; he even saved an opponent the other day, didn't he?
At this point, Chu Tianxing pointed to the few people shouting the loudest in front and said sarcastically:
"I remember you guys also have storage rings, right? If you think it's unfair, just give them to yourselves. If that's still not enough, just lend out your own personal weapons too. You're all shameless anyway, so it's not shameful..."
Hearing Chu Tianxing's unsparing and scathing critique, the principals blushed with embarrassment.
As for what Old Man Chu said about giving him a storage ring and a weapon?
It would be good to give that old scoundrel Chu Tianxing a good slap.
Is this even human language?
What good are storage rings to them? Do you think everyone is a monster like you from Jingnan, a human cannon launcher? As for weapons, can their students even lift them?
Even if they could pick it up, it is common knowledge that the higher the weapon level, the stronger its destructive power after being infused with spiritual energy. But these students do not have enough spiritual energy, and they will be drained in two or three moves. What good is a good weapon if it is not good enough?
But talk is talk, and criticism is criticism.
Because of Wang Zheng's bizarre actions, these universities still made arrangements overnight, equipping their students with A-grade alloy weapons.
This move caused all the schools to become highly competitive.
By this point, the matter had little to do with Young Master Wang anymore.
Although not all schools consider Nanjing University a hypothetical enemy, and not all schools are willing to spend a lot of money to replace their weapons, they simply dare not not to.
Think about it, everyone else has improved, and if you don't make changes, then falling behind will lead to being beaten, and your school will be destined to be at the bottom.
Unless you completely give up, then you'll have to wait to change along with everyone else.
From then on, universities secretly began an arms race. Although the initial purpose was to deal with Wang Zheng, it has now completely changed its nature.
And whether it's useful or not is another matter, but at the very least it has wasted a lot of the schools' inventory resources for no reason.
Especially for the companies ranked lower, they may face a shortage of resources next year.
If our young master Wang knew about this good news, he would probably feel relieved that these universities had wronged him.
...
Time passed quietly in this tense atmosphere, and by the time the third round of the competition began, the top 100 in the individual competition had already been determined.
Both the individual and team competitions have a total of 410 participants.
However, in the first two rounds, a total of three players won by a narrow margin. After a short rest, they were unable to continue and thus had to stop there.
After these three announced their withdrawal from the competition, there were exactly 100 remaining contestants. Therefore, including those who had a bye in the previous round, the top 100 contestants of this martial arts tournament have been determined in advance.
However, this is nothing new; the situation is almost the same every year at the martial arts tournament, and the further the rounds go, the more fighters will be forced to withdraw due to serious injuries.
After all, in this round alone, winning would put them ahead of the 50 losers, and even if they couldn't continue, their lowest ranking after the placement rounds would be 50th.
Even if it's not for the school's honor, but just to earn this ranking so that one's future career can be smooth sailing, it's still worth going all out for.
Having come this far, the contestants are already bloodthirsty, so there's no reason for them not to fight tooth and nail.
However, Nanjing University's luck seems to have run out this time. In just a few days, three more students were eliminated, one of whom was seriously injured and will need to rest for at least half a year, which will likely delay his future practical training.
Besides Wang Zheng and Li Yi, only the fire-elemental senior Xiao unexpectedly made it into the top 100 of the individual competition.
