"Don't talk about tomorrow's official challenge. Today's qualifying match is enough for you, right?" Jiang Ruonan said gloatingly.
"You're not much better... And even Yingying has helped me analyze it. The three opponents I chose are the most suitable for me!" Guan Liyuan rolled his eyes at Jiang Ruonan.
Wei Yingying didn't side with him: "Liyuan, did you miss a word? I said first, 'It's better to challenge two people for safety'."
Indeed, Guan Liyuan demonstrated his strength to Wei Yingying last night. From the perspective of strategic analysis, although the illusion walker and gluttony are stronger, they are restrained by Guan Liyuan, and Huang Zhao's weakness is obvious. At this time, the
students of the Eagle Academy completed the monthly exam a few days ago. The students who meet the challenge requirements will compete for the qualification of the "official challenge" today!
After all, there are only 20 positions, and many people challenge the same goal, so it is impossible to fight in a round-robin battle.
This challenge system is to ensure fairness and give other students a goal to work hard for. Of course, the rules are more inclined to the students who were originally selected.
All students who participate in the challenge will be determined to be qualified for the challenge today. The same "seed student" who is challenged only needs to accept the challenge of the winner of the "qualification battle" tomorrow.
The rules are very simple. Now, under the watch of all students, there is an arena with defense and emergency treatment arrays.
There are also 20 small stone tablets under the arena, on which the names of 20 seed students are engraved. After a while, according to the ranking of the actual combat results of the monthly exam, the students who have the challenge qualifications will carry the quota stone tablets they want to challenge one by one...
If someone wants to challenge the same seed student and thinks that he is stronger than the students who are ranked higher in the actual combat, he can go to the arena to compete for the quota. The winner will get the quota stone tablet!
If no one goes to the arena for one minute, the small stone tablet will blow up by itself, indicating that the qualification is determined. Tomorrow, the student occupying the corresponding stone tablet will challenge the seed student on the stone tablet.
Of course, if someone takes two stone tablets, two students can go on stage together to challenge.
"Liyuan, do you really want to challenge three places at once? If you count them, I'm afraid someone will target you in the 'three levels'..." Wei Yingying said worriedly.
"Don't worry! Being targeted is also a test for me... There are too many professions, and one or two places can't afford it at all!" Guan Liyuan's words made Jiang Ruonan and Zhong Liqiu roll their eyes.
The so-called "three levels", one of which is the current "qualification battle". It can be imagined that Guan Liyuan took three stone tablets in a mocking manner, which will definitely attract the attention of many challengers, and even many students who don't want to challenge Gluttony, Illusion Walker, and Huang Zhao will change their minds temporarily.
The second level is tomorrow's "official challenge". Guan Liyuan will not only have to fight one against three, but also Gluttony and Illusion Walker are both recognized as the strongest!
The third level is the "resurrection battle". All the seeded students who were picked out will have a chance to "resurrect" after the official challenge, that is, to challenge the new list again, but they cannot challenge the opponent who defeated them before again, and can only choose opponents from other places...
It can be imagined that if Guan Liyuan wins in the "official challenge", in the subsequent resurrection match, as long as there are more than three students who are eligible to be resurrected, there will definitely be a team to challenge Guan Liyuan.
"It would be best if no one else succeeds in the challenge except me and Qiu... But that is unlikely." Jiang Ruonan said and looked at the "other small group" of students who looked a little unfamiliar.
Although Jiang Ruonan challenged two places at a time, she originally had one place. After her challenge was successful, there was another loser who occupied her original place, which means that only one student would lose the qualification. After
that, Zhong Liqiu succeeded in the challenge again, and a total of two students would participate in the resurrection battle.
If Guan Liyuan defeated those three, they would not be able to challenge Guan Liyuan again in the resurrection battle, and if there were only two other students who were eligible to challenge, Guan Liyuan could avoid "1VS3", and even two people might not have the confidence to challenge Guan Liyuan!
However, Jiang Ruonan was obviously not so optimistic...
"Really! These guys who usually skip classes every day can actually participate in the challenge!" Zhongli Qiu said angrily while looking at the small group of students.
"Qiu, that's not called skipping classes, it's called self-trained students..." Yingying didn't know how many times to explain the difference between the two to Zhongli Qiu.
"Humph, but don't care too much about them, they are all smart guys, and the best among them are not my opponent!" Jiang Ruonan was a little disdainful of these people.
Self-trained students are also called "local tyrants" by Guan Liyuan. Some big families in Xiongying City may think that their teaching methods are better than those of the academy, so they will directly apply for "self-training" for their children, but at the end of the year, when it comes to graduation assessment, self-trained students must also participate.
And some of the outstanding self-trained students will be arranged by the family to participate in the challenge of seed students... It is estimated that the academy will charge extra!
These big families don't look down on the usual rewards of the academy, but when it comes to the welfare of seed students, they will naturally compete for it. These big families
are also the main contributors to Xiongying City's tax revenue, and the academy can't exclude them.
However, how effective "self-training" is depends on personal understanding. Some big families also send their descendants to the academy instead of self-training.
"Some of them may not be from Xiongying City yet... Liyuan, do you still remember Gong Wen?" Wei Yingying asked.
"Gong Wen? Who?" Guan Liyuan was stunned when he heard this.
Wei Yingying and Zhong Liqiu looked at him helplessly, and then complained faintly: "The one who almost took you home to tie you up and train you..."
"Oh, oh, I remember! Wait, don't say it so awkwardly! It's that Gong family... I would have forgotten it if you didn't say it."
Looking at Guan Liyuan's sudden realization, without any trace of falsehood, Zhong Liqiu and Wei Yingying, who knew the grudge between him and Gong Wen, were speechless.
Guan Liyuan couldn't be blamed. After all, he had been through so much. He didn't care about Gong Wen anymore. After all, he was the pure Guan Liyuan who was obsessed with saving the world...
"His brother Gong Bin awakened to the profession of 'space controller' a few years ago. At that time, Gong Laogui spent a lot of money and sold a lot of his assets to send him to a family in Eagle City that had in-laws with the Gong family as a 'self-trained student' of Eagle Academy.
It is said that he was also selected as a 'seed student' at that time, but he was not selected for the 'super genius program' when he graduated... So Gong Wen dreamed of awakening a space profession himself, and he didn't even look in the mirror!" Zhong Liqiu still grinned when he mentioned Gong Wen.
Gong Wen was indeed a little disappointed after awakening to the profession of "wind elementalist".
Guan Liyuan remembered that the guy didn't die in the academy catastrophe, and then went to the academy in Xingshun City.
"In fact, the reason why the Gong family was so greedy at that time, and even acquiesced to Tian Gonghao doing a lot of shameful things, was because the price paid to send Gong Bin to Xiongying City a few years ago was too high." Wei Yingying said.
"But if you want to send someone here, you must have some blood relationship with the big families in the city, otherwise you will definitely not pass the review. Moreover, if you want to send a 'self-trained student' to participate in the challenge, those big families will have to pay a large sum of money, and the number of places is limited. If it is a commission from a relative from another place, it will definitely be slaughtered several times the price..." Jiang Ruonan seemed to understand it very well.
"So think about it the other way around, you still have to be careful of these 'self-trained students'! In order to participate in the challenge, they have paid a lot of money. If they are not sure at all, they should not do this... The most important thing is that the training model of these self-trained students in the previous six months must be different from that of the academy.
Once there are younger generations who have the hope of winning the qualification, those big families are likely to specially train them for 'actual combat against people', and even slightly force them to grow and improve their strength!" Wei Yingying said with some concern.
Indeed, sometimes these self-trained students may not be much better than other top students, nor is it that the means of "self-training" are really so clever, but that they have given up all-round development and focused on "grabbing a place" as the goal of training for half a year, which will give them a considerable advantage in the arena.
Therefore, there are also many families who disdain "self-training" and believe more in the academy education that fully taps the talents of new professionals...
"Huh? Liyuan, why don't you talk? Are you nervous?" Zhongli Qiu suddenly asked. "
Nothing, I'm thinking about whether I should carry a small notebook with me in the future to write down the people who offend me! Now I even forget my enemies, which is too embarrassing for the "protagonists"!"
Guan Liyuan suddenly felt that as a "protagonist", should he be more vindictive?
"What protagonist?"
"Don't talk, I'm just recalling who has offended me! Help me think, besides the Gong family and the three thieves of Yinshu, who else was there... It seems that in Dulan City, the noodle shop at No. 3 Jialiu Street served me beef noodles with less meat than others..."
Just as Guan Liyuan was "recalling the past", the instructor who presided over the "qualification battle" was already calling his name.
As the first in the total score of the monthly practical exam, Guan Liyuan, who scored 10 points in two subjects and broke the limit in three subjects, was naturally the first to choose the stone tablet...
Usually if you don't commit suicide, others won't compete with you for the first place, but Guan Liyuan is obviously the type of "committing suicide"!
He can't even remember his enemies. If he doesn't commit suicide a little more, can he still be considered the protagonist?
