Chen Chu looked around and saw heads everywhere.

These students are similar to them, gathered together in classes and divided into more than 40 camps. The number of participants is expected to be around 500.

It was the first time that Chen Chu saw so many freshmen practicing Zhenwu. They were all unfamiliar faces because usually everyone practiced in two buildings.

In addition, those freshmen who had just established their foundation a few days ago chose to give up, otherwise the number would be even greater.

"Quiet!!"

As the broadcast sounded, the whole audience fell silent.

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw more than a dozen teachers sitting on the main podium in the distance, including Chen Qi and Pang Long.

Among the teachers, a middle-aged man with a full beard held the microphone and said in a deep voice: "I am Lin Xiong, the head teacher of Class 1, and the teachers present here are the referees today."

"Practicing is a very boring thing, especially for freshmen like you. Many of you gradually become lazy after the initial novelty."

"So the authorities organized this competition to make you realize the gap between you and your peers, so that you can learn from your shame and work harder to cultivate."

"You have no idea how much the country has paid to train you."

"Don't take all this for granted. You should know that every resource you use was captured by other soldiers at the risk of their lives on the battlefield."

"At the same time, every technique was created by the creator with all his efforts, so there is an initial division of authority, because trash is not qualified to enjoy these."

"Of course, this waste does not refer to those students who are slow in building their foundation, but to those who are negligent, lazy, and unwilling to make progress after getting the opportunity to practice."

"People like this will slowly be eliminated from the school in the next three years."

Lin Xiong said in a deep voice: "Having said this, let me say a few more words."

"There are rumors circulating on the internet right now that people who can't build a foundation in a month don't have the talent to cultivate, or that people who can build a foundation in a month have inferior talents."

"These are all bullshit in my opinion. Building a foundation is just the beginning. So what if it's a little slower?"

"You have to know that cultivation is a path of continuous self-evolution and self-breaking of limits. In the later stages, each breakthrough in a realm takes ten to twenty years."

"Every breakthrough in a great realm is a sublimation, a transformation of the life level. How can it be compared with the one or two months of slow foundation building at the beginning?"

"Everyone, remember this: cultivation is a long and arduous journey. Only those with a strong will and perseverance can make it to the end."

“The speed or slowness at the beginning is just a stumbling block along the way, which can be crushed with a little effort.”

"If you can't even endure this little bit of hardship, no matter whether you practice cultivation or enter another industry, your life will be mediocre."

The words of the head teacher named Lin Xiong made many students who were building their foundation within a month excited.

Including some freshmen in the audience who had originally given up, the belief in cultivation surged in their hearts again.

Yes, they are just a little bit behind by half a month or a month, so why can’t they practice?

"Okay, time is about up. Next, I'll tell you the rules of the game."

"This competition is divided into three rounds. In the first round, everyone will fight against six opponents in a row. Each round lasts ten minutes. Each win adds one point, and each loss subtracts one point."

"For those who are still undecided within ten minutes, the referee will decide the winner based on their performance."

"After the first round of competition, the top 200 with the highest points will advance."

"The second round is a defense match. As long as each person defeats four people in a row on the ring, they will be considered to have successfully defended the ring. And each person only has one chance to challenge."

"After the top fifty are decided, the third round of free challenges will begin. Those who are not satisfied with their current ranking in the ring can challenge the top ten."

"The winners continue, and the losers' rankings remain unchanged."

"By the way, although the top 50 are in different positions, the contribution points they are awarded each month are the same."

"Alright, the competition is about to begin. Everyone, follow the names that appear after the ring numbers on the big screen to start the first round."

"I'm ring number 13."

"My number nine ring..."

"I'm number 45..."

"I'm on the No. 2 ring. Hehe, squad leader, Achu, I'll go up first." Saying that, Xia Youhui excitedly ran towards the No. 2 ring in the distance.

Then Chen Chu also saw his name, on the No. 49 stage.

After saying hello to Lin Xue and the others, Chen Chu hurried over.

There was already a girl standing on the ring. She looked ordinary. When she saw Chen Chu jumping up, she said politely, "My classmate, how about we just have a simple fight without weapons?"

"Okay." Chen Chu nodded and put the knife on the edge of the ring.

"Attention, arena No. 49, the competition will officially begin in three seconds."

As the electronic announcement sounded, Chen Chu and the girl's faces turned serious. They counted silently for three seconds in their hearts, and the girl opposite suddenly shouted in a low voice.

"Be careful." As soon as the voice fell, the girl rushed over at an astonishing speed, even faster than Lu Haitao at the beginning.

It was obvious that the technique she majored in was about speed.

But...bang!

Chen Chu blocked the girl's high kick with his left arm, without moving his arm at all, ignoring the girl's explosive power of hundreds of kilograms.

The moment she was stopped, the girl twisted her body and used the force to kick three times in the air at lightning speed, never leaving Chen Chu's weak points such as the head and neck.

But they were all easily blocked by Chen Chu who had faster reactions.

And just when the girl's third kick was exhausted, Chen Chu took advantage of the moment when she retreated in mid-air and moved his body suddenly, and stretched out his arm like an elephant's trunk to grab her ankle.

Ah! The girl in mid-air was startled.

Then he felt a huge force coming at him, and was thrown more than ten meters away by Chen Chu, and fell under the ring with a bang.

The girl who fell from the sky scared several classmates around her.

Looking at the girl who was still a little confused and couldn't stand up for a while because of the pain in her butt, Chen Chu smiled slightly: "Thank you."

This girl is slightly stronger than Lu Haitao, and is also good at leg techniques and speed.

But unfortunately, he met Chen Chu, whose speed, strength, reaction and other aspects exceeded the limits of the first level, and was crushed and killed instantly.

The referee's voice came from the loudspeaker on the ring: "Ring No. 49, student Chen Chu won. The next round will begin after an eight-minute break."

Chen Chu raised his head, looked at the camera on the pillar, and smiled: "Teacher, I think we can start the next game directly without taking a break."

It’s not that Chen Chu is showing off, it’s mainly because the girl just now was too weak and there was no need to rest and waste time.

"...Okay." The teacher on the podium paused slightly.

Then, not far away, a strong young man carrying a heavy hammer weapon ran over excitedly and jumped onto the No. 49 ring.
