The scoring method for the practical subject is that the first place gets 10 points, the second place gets 9 points, the third place gets 8 points, and after the third place, the teachers will collectively score based on the number of wins and performance in the competition.
However, the scores are all below eight points.
Before the fifth round of competition began, Elder Wang suddenly came over. All the teachers stood up to greet him, but Yuan Xi was the only one who was still sitting in his seat in a lazy manner.
Elder Wang still had a smile on his face, looking completely unconcerned. "Everyone, sit down. I just came to see the children's competition. How is it going? Which round are we in?"
A teacher from an aristocratic faction said respectfully, "Elder Wang, we have reached the fourth round. Next up is the fourteen-to-seven competition."
"Fourteen to seven? That's still a good competition. I think we should let these fourteen students enter the barrier together and have a free-for-all. The one who stays in the barrier the longest will be the winner, and the second and third place will be the winner, and so on. How do you think?"
When Elder Wang said this, several teachers looked at each other in confusion.
The teacher who had just responded immediately expressed his opinion: "I think it's a good idea. This will save time and also allow us to assess students' performance in group battles."
Immediately afterwards, two more teachers expressed their agreement.
Elder Wang smiled and looked at Wei Xiuran, who remained silent. "What do you think, Teacher Wei?"
Wei Xiuran: "I don't think this is appropriate. The assessment method was decided at the beginning. If it's changed at the last minute, students might not be able to accept it immediately."
The method proposed by Elder Wang was clearly more beneficial to the children of the aristocratic families! He was wondering why this old fox had suddenly come over. It turned out that he had seen the children of the aristocratic families fall behind in the competition and couldn't sit still and ran over to seek favoritism!
Elder Wang narrowed his eyes and said, "You said the students can't accept it, so let's ask for their opinions."
He turned to look at the fourteen people and asked, "What do you think? Should we continue with the original method of drawing lots for a one-on-one competition, or should we just go ahead and have a free-for-all as I just suggested?"
Li Yulong was one of the fourteen people and immediately responded, "I think a melee is better!"
Among these fourteen people, eight are from aristocratic families. Of the remaining six, four are not from aristocratic families, but are from small families. Only Xue Huan and Fang Xiuqin are true commoners.
After Li Yulong spoke out, most of the others also agreed to a melee.
Xue Huan originally thought that this six-month competition would be fair, but from her own several matches, she could see that this competition was not fair from the beginning.
Those children of aristocratic families can manipulate their opponents at will. What if the opponent they draw is very strong? Simple, just switch the order with them.
It's simply blatant cheating.
Now, this Elder Wang has even directly intervened in the way of the competition, and his favoritism towards the children of aristocratic families is simply too obvious.
However, does he really think that the aristocratic family can cover the sky with one hand?
Outside the academy, the power of the Wang and Li families has declined significantly. Within this academy, she will sooner or later eliminate these aristocratic family forces!
She did not reject aristocratic families. What she rejected were families like the Wang and Li families that bullied others and wantonly broke the rules.
Among the fourteen people, most of them were inclined towards the melee proposed by Elder Wang.
Elder Wang looked at Wei Xiuran with a smile, "Look, these students have agreed, so let's have a free-for-all."
Wei Xiuran was about to say something else, but Xue Huan shook her head at him and gave him a reassuring look.
Seeing this, Wei Xiu Ran inexplicably believed her and said nothing more.
Yuan Xi saw the interaction between the two, and the air around him darkened. Wei Xiuran suddenly felt much colder beside him.
The barrier opened, and the fourteen contestants entered and stood in two distinct groups.
One group consisted of eleven people, led by Li Yulong, while the other group consisted of only Xue Huan, Xiao Jian and Fang Xiuqin, who looked very isolated and weak.
Li Yulong also said to Xiao Jian, "Xiao Jian, with your strength, you should have been in the top three, but you chose to degenerate and hang out with two low-class people. Don't blame me if a fight breaks out later."
Xiao Jian scratched his ears. "Xue Huan, did you hear that toad chirping there? It's so annoying."
Xue Huan chuckled, "Yeah, I heard that. It's really annoying. Let's team up and throw those toads out. What do you say?"
Xiao Jian laughed out loud: "Okay!"
Fang Xiuqin watched the interaction between the two with envy. She wanted to join in, but was afraid that she would be disliked.
On the opposite side, Li Yulong and his gang were furious and stared at Xue Huan and the other two with unfriendly eyes.
"You are still stubborn even when you are about to die. Come on!" Li Yulong waved his hand, and the people around him surrounded Xue Huan and the other two.
Xue Huan took a step forward and drew a talisman in the air. Her movements were so swift that they left an afterimage. However, in an instant, she had drawn several talismans and formed a talisman formation!
Those talismans stood in mid-air, forming a transparent barrier that protected Xue Huan and the other two.
When Li Yulong and his group attacked, they cast all kinds of spells on it, but the talisman formation remained strong.
Li Yulong and others did not believe it and continued to cast spells. They cast colorful spells of red, yellow and white, but they still could not do anything to the talisman formation.
Xiao Jian put his hands on his waist and laughed loudly, pointing at Li Yulong and the others: "So what if you have more people? You still can't beat us? You're a bunch of losers!"
"Who the hell are you calling a loser?"
"Whoever responds will be scolded."
"Xiao Jian! If you have the guts, don't hide in that ghost shell!"
"Are you a fucking idiot? You want to provoke me to come out? No way! I'm still waiting in this tortoise shell! Come in if you dare! You useless piece of shit!"
The two sides were swearing at each other passionately, but Xiao Jian showed the strength of ten people alone, scolding the group on the opposite side so hard that they jumped up and down and gritted their teeth, but they could do nothing to him.
Xue Huan took out a plate of melon seeds and handed it to Fang Xiuqin. "Want some?"
Fang Xiuqin carefully grabbed a handful and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Take more after you finish eating. I have plenty here."
The two of them were eating melon seeds while watching Xiao Jian "debating with the scholars", and they were enjoying it very much.
Li Yulong and the others became more and more angry when they saw this, and their attacks became more and more fierce, but what made them furious was that they could not break through the talisman formation!
This is really infuriating.
In the end, Li Yulong and others were tired from fighting. After all, continuously casting spells not only consumed spiritual power, but also physical strength.
At this moment, Xue Huan pressed her finger bones. After a series of crisp sounds, she said, "It's our turn."
A thick vine shot out from her hand, wrapped around an opponent's waist, and then swung back and forth continuously, making the man dizzy. With the last swipe, Xue Huan threw the man directly out of the barrier, and the man fell heavily to the ground, his face covered in blood, and he fainted.
"I've taken care of one, it's your turn." Xue Huan gestured to Xiao Jian.
