February went by very quickly.
Just like in the second half of last semester, He Xie spent every day going back and forth between three points, working hard to improve his biology level and enhance his strength.
Whenever he had a spare moment, he would use the power of his bloodline, which he had enslaved with essence blood, to sense the effects and spy on the every move of Chen Caiqing, the treacherous member of the Divine Plant Cult.
Then it was discovered that many of the recent attacks on demonic plants in Shanhai City were related to her.
The biggest discovery he made was that he saw that Vice Dean Liu of the School of Transplantation had an inexplicable relationship with Chen Caiqing.
This Mountain and Sea Evolution University had long been corrupted and riddled with holes by treacherous people.
He Xie chose not to alert the enemy in these matters.
He felt that his current strength was far from enough to make a decisive move, so he had to continue to develop cautiously and wait until his biological level evolved to the mythical level and the orphanage was transformed into a celestial sect before he could leave the mountain.
At that time, both the ability to protect oneself and the level of protection for one's family will be guaranteed.
Only when you are completely free of worries can you unleash your full potential.
During this period, He Xie successfully evolved his creature level to Legendary Tier 2 by relying on the gains from completing tasks and the rewards obtained from opening super magical blind boxes using the contrast value, thus further enhancing his strength.
Currently, he is undoubtedly the number one in Shan Hai Evolution University.
As a fellow legendary creature, Shen Shou was confident he could kill him with a single finger.
However, he did not become arrogant and always kept his strength well hidden.
Time flies, and it's already the end of March.
At this time, Shan Hai Evolution University ushered in its first school-level competition of the year.
——Freshman Competition.
......
The open-air plaza was packed with people.
Apart from students who go out to do missions or enlist in the army in the battlefield of ten thousand races, basically all the teachers and students of the Mountain and Sea Evolution University are here.
Good morning, freshmen.
"Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of my freshman year has passed."
"Over the past six months, I have been quietly keeping an eye on every single one of you freshmen."
"In two words, excellent!"
"Today, we welcome the highly anticipated Freshman Competition. Those who are fortunate enough to represent their colleges in the competition should show their best, while other students, although not in the ring, should cheer for their colleges' representatives from the sidelines!"
"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's officially begin today's freshman competition!"
On the high platform, Vice Principal Chu Tianyi delivered his opening speech in a loud and clear voice.
The students in the audience erupted in thunderous applause.
In the waiting area, He Xie, one of the contestants, looked at the few empty seats in the school leaders' section and fell into deep thought.
The homeroom teacher, Shen Shou, the principal, Lu Youwen, and the vice principal, Qin Haiyan, were all absent.
Logically speaking, they shouldn't miss such an important competition as the Freshman Tournament.
Since he hasn't attended, he probably has something important to do.
What's the important matter?
Divine religion?
Or is it a battlefield of all races?
He Xie's mind was racing, and his attention was completely elsewhere from today's match.
After all, he is now a legendary-level powerhouse.
He could blow away a mere freshman with a single breath, so why bother with him?
The reason I took the time to participate in this competition is to boost my contrast score and, incidentally, to win the exotic flowers and fruits as a first-place prize.
"Good morning, respected teachers and students!" x2.
"I am Zhang Weidong, the vice president of the student union."
"I am Luo Yu, the Minister of External Relations."
"It is an honor to host this year's freshman competition. Next, the two of us will briefly introduce each contestant."
On a high platform above the arena, Zhang Weidong and Luo Yu are hosting today's freshman competition.
With a loud and clear voice and an enthusiastic attitude, he was very good at creating a lively atmosphere and was extremely infectious.
He Xie used a "Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy" card on Zhang Weidong from afar and discovered that his biological level had evolved to the rare level, and the evolution speed was incredibly fast.
He knew that Zhang Weidong's rapid evolution was inseparable from the support of the Divine Plant Cult.
This is the benefit that comes from being a traitor.
He Xie scoffed at this.
If it weren't for the fear of alerting the enemy, we would have wiped out Zhang Weidong long ago.
It's the kind of thing that needs to be eliminated, both publicly and privately.
From an official standpoint, Zhang Weidong is a traitor; not killing him would be unbecoming of the human race.
Personally, this person had harassed Lin Chuchu on WeChat; more accurately, all the girls on the Goddess Ranking had been harassed.
Zhao Keying, in particular, was even followed.
Previously, when Zhao Keying was doing research in the pharmacology lab, she always felt that someone was secretly watching her. When she left the pharmacology lab to go back, she also felt that someone was following her.
He Xie investigated this matter and found that it was Zhang Weidong who was behind it.
It's unclear whether it was due to lust, a mission from the Divine Plant Cult, or both.
Regardless, the mere fact that he harassed Lin Chuchu and stalked Zhao Keying was enough to put him on He Xie's kill list.
As He Xie looked at Zhang Weidong from afar, Zhang Weidong also looked at him from a distance.
Then, holding the microphone, he introduced:
"The first one is He Xie from the All-Round Class. He Xie was the top scorer in the evolutionary science college entrance examination in Shanhai City last year. He was unmatched when school started and won first place in the freshman entrance test. He is one of the favorites to win the championship in this year's freshman competition!"
"Second place, also from the All-Around Class, is Chu Bei. Chu Bei is a top genius from Kyoto. He's been making waves lately, having transplanted two mysterious primordial alien limbs. He's defeated several senior students from the All-Around Class and is the biggest favorite to win this year, without a doubt!"
"The third one is An Ruoli from the All-Round Class. Her recent achievements are also amazing. She has already reached 66th place on the top 100 list while still a freshman. She has a promising future and is one of the favorites to win the championship in this year's freshman competition."
"Fourth place..."
"Fifth place..."
A total of 64 people participated in the freshman competition, but the favorites for the championship announced by the host were all students from the all-around class.
As for the contestants from other colleges, they all seemed like mere extras, there to accompany the prince in his studies.
After highlighting several popular champions and briefly introducing the other contestants, the first round of random matchmaking began on the large screen above the arena.
When other students were matched with students from the all-around class, they immediately wailed and exclaimed that they were the unluckiest ones.
Of course, there were also students who were eager to try and full of excitement.
For example, Zhang Qiangwu, who defeated Wang Teng in one move in class last time.
He was then matched with Chen Qiaoyi from the All-Round Class, a girl who had recently evolved to the Mutant level.
His current biological level is advanced level nine, and he was matched with Chen Qiaoyi, who is mutated level one. This made him very excited, and his mind was full of the scene of defeating Chen Qiaoyi in front of everyone.
Yes, defeat the top-performing all-around genius in the school on the ring and become famous overnight!
"Holy crap, I'm numb!"
In the waiting area, when Zhang Ze, who was representing Qi Xue Academy, saw that his opponent was He Xie, he couldn't help but groan.
He was hoping to make it to the second round, but he got matched with He Xie in the first round. What's the point of playing now?!
Zhang Kaizi, who was also a contestant from the Qi and Blood School next to Zhang Ze, was also looking distressed because his opponent was his high school classmate, An Ruoli.
Well, it seems these two buddies surnamed Zhang are destined to be eliminated in the first round.
What an unlucky guy.
Soon, a broadcast announcement came on.
"He Xie and Zhang Ze, the students from the first group, please come up on stage quickly and prepare for the duel."
Upon hearing the broadcast, He Xie calmly went on stage.
Zhang Ze, who was walking alongside him, looked pained.
Seeing that both of them had come up on stage, the referee briefly explained the rules: "The duel is limited to three minutes. If you feel that there is a significant difference in strength between the two sides during the time limit, please concede defeat in time to ensure your own safety."
Do either of you have any questions?
"none."
"No"
"Alright, let the duel officially begin!"
As soon as the referee's voice fell, the countdown on the big screen immediately began.
He Xie was just about to make his move.
Suddenly, Zhang Ze on the other side raised his hands and shouted to the referee, "Referee, I concede!"
He Xie: "......"
referee:"......"
audience:"......"
Everyone present was speechless. To come up on stage and immediately admit defeat was just too cowardly.
Some of the hot-tempered freshmen in the Qi and Blood Academy felt that Zhang Ze had disgraced their academy. They stood up and yelled at him, calling him a coward and a disgrace to the Qi and Blood Academy!
Zhang Ze, who also had a temper, immediately retorted, "What the hell are you talking about, you little brat! It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering, huh? If you're so capable, why don't you come up and compete? You're trash who can't even get into the academy, what the hell are you spouting!"
Luo Yu, the female host on the platform, couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up to stop him: "Zhang Ze, please watch your behavior! Students below the stage, please watch the game in a civilized manner!"
Soon, it was the turn of the two contestants from the second group to go on stage and prepare.
It's quite rare that both contestants are girls.
One is from the College of Plant Nursery.
One is from a teachers' college.
The two players are evenly matched, making for a very close and exciting match.
Putting everything else aside, at least the male students in the audience were completely mesmerized and thoroughly enjoyed the spectacle.
A little over a minute later, the girl from the Plant Cultivation Academy won.
In the following duels, the battles were generally over quickly, with the winner decided within an average of one minute.
Especially when one student is an all-around student and the other is not, they basically have to leave the stage immediately after stepping on stage.
After all, it's a duel. When no one is holding back, as long as there's a difference in skill, the winner can be decided instantly. It's impossible for it to be a back-and-forth battle.
However, there are always exceptions.
In the following rounds, He Xie, who was considered a favorite to win the championship, somehow became like Kakashi.
It becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents and weaker when facing weaker ones.
He fights fiercely with everyone, and it's a close and evenly matched battle.
Every time, they only managed to win by fighting until the very last second.
This result was quite unexpected for the audience. No one expected He Xie's strength to be so mediocre, which created a huge contrast value and earned him a lot of contrast value.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
At this point, the freshman competition was nearing its end, having reached the fifth round, which was the semi-finals.
The four people who came here were He Xie, Chu Bei, An Ruoli, and Zhang Qiangwu.
Yes, Zhang Qiangwu from the Qi and Blood Academy fought his way through all the all-around students he encountered and made it into the semi-finals.
"Zhang Qiangwu, awesome!"
"Charge! Charge! Charge!"
"Making it to the finals proves that our Qi and Blood Academy is no worse than the All-Around Class!"
In the stands, countless students from the Qi and Blood Academy were cheering loudly.
The voices of students from other colleges were also mixed in, all cheering loudly.
After all, among the four who made it to the semifinals, only Zhang Qiangwu was not from the all-around class.
As students who are not in the all-around class, they will definitely choose to support Zhang Qiangwu.
This is a matter of perspective.
The school leaders in the leadership seats all looked at Zhang Qiangwu with admiration and praised him generously.
Upon hearing this, the dean of the Qi and Blood Academy couldn't stop smiling.
"He Xie, keep it up!"
"Go for it! If you win first place, I'll treat you to dinner!"
"come on!"
In the audience, Lin Chuchu, Wen Xiuwen, Chen Yuntong, and other girls were cheering for He Xie.
Lin Chuchu is He Xie's girlfriend, so it's perfectly reasonable for her to cheer him on; the students in the School of Pharmacology can all understand.
But Wen Xiuwen and Chen Yuntong cheered along with others, which puzzled the students in the Animal Taming Academy and the Plant Breeding Academy. They all looked at the two traitors with displeasure and cursed them in their hearts.
Soon, the semi-final match results came out.
He Xie faced Chu Bei.
An Ruoli to Zhang Qiangwu.
The four people reacted differently to the matching result.
He Xie hummed a little tune, his face calm and composed.
Chu Bei looked as if facing a formidable enemy, his brows furrowed.
An Ruoli's face was as cold as frost, and she was very aloof.
Zhang Qiangwu breathed a sigh of relief, his face full of eagerness.
Zhang Qiangwu was very satisfied with the matching result.
Although he was confident in his abilities, he was still very self-aware when facing He Xie and Chu Bei, knowing that he had no chance of winning.
But when faced with An Ruoli's words, he felt that he still had a chance of winning.
Because An Ruoli's strengths and weaknesses are very obvious.
Strong spirit, weak blood and qi.
As a genius of the Qi and Blood Academy, he has the opportunity to defeat her with his powerful physical body.
Of course, this is on the premise that you can withstand her mental attacks.
"Please, contestants An Ruoli and Zhang Qiangwu, come up on stage immediately to prepare for the duel."
Upon hearing the broadcast, An Ruoli and Zhang Qiangwu each stepped onto the arena.
Seeing that both of them had come up on stage, the referee asked:
"Are the two players ready?"
"alright."
"Ready?"
"Alright, let the duel officially begin..."
"......Bang!"
The referee had barely finished speaking!
With a loud bang, Zhang Qiangwu, who had just been standing on the arena, was thrown off the arena by An Ruoli using her mental power.
I landed on my bottom, and it hurt terribly.
who I am?
Where am I?
Zhang Qiangwu sat on the ground, completely bewildered, not understanding what was going on at all.
After a moment of realization, he was filled with existential doubt and felt deeply discouraged.
When faced with true geniuses, he became acutely aware of his own weakness.
The gap was simply too large; they were completely powerless to fight back.
The students from the non-all-around classes in the audience were also severely affected.
Zhang Qiangwu was instantly killed, which was something they hadn't expected.
The cheers and shouts instantly disappeared, and the entire audience area became as quiet as a library.
Sure enough, the all-around class is still the same all-around class.
It's not something that geniuses from other colleges can pull off.
"Contestants He Xie and Chu Bei, please come up on stage immediately to prepare for the duel."
Soon, the referee's voice rang out again from the arena.
Upon hearing the sound, He Xie and Chu Bei walked out of the waiting area at the same time and strolled leisurely toward the arena.
At this moment, everyone present turned their attention to the two of them.
We've been waiting for this!
The two top geniuses in the all-around class are going to face off in the semifinals ahead of schedule!
My anticipation is off the charts!
......
P.S.: I'm setting up the bowls, please vote with monthly tickets and recommendations!
