Fifty arenas were competing at the same time, and the second round was over in just one hour.
Under the gaze of more than 2,000 people, as the big screen above the stadium was refreshed, only fifty names remained on the screen.
Chen Chu looked up and saw that his name was ranked 49th, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
In addition, he also saw several familiar names. Lin Xue successfully defended her position in tenth place, Yi Rui was 29th, and Li Meng, who was defeated by him, was 34th.
It’s just that the class monitor’s sister Lin Yu is 40.
This ranking made Chen Chu slightly stunned, because he felt that this girl named Lin Yu was very strong, maybe even stronger than Li Meng?
On the main stage, Lin Xiong announced: "The second round of competition is over. Next up is the challenge round. Those who are not satisfied with their ranking will have a chance to challenge the top ten."
"If you win, you move forward. If you lose, your original ranking remains unchanged. Does anyone want to challenge me now?"
"I, I want to challenge 20 people."
"I want to challenge the tenth place."
"I, I also want to challenge 15..."
They are all freshmen, all at the same level. Now that they have no worries, who is afraid of whom? Therefore, many people who are ranked lower choose to challenge those ahead.
Including Liu Feng, who ranked 50th, also chose to challenge Lin Yu, who ranked 40th.
On the contrary, Chen Chu did not make any move, and no one challenged An Fuqing, who was ranked first.
The challenge ended quickly under the watchful eyes of everyone. Those who challenged the top ten all failed, but a few who challenged the top 20 or 30 succeeded.
"I now declare the first round of the freshman ranking match over."
On the main stage, Lin Xiong said in a deep voice: "All freshmen who enter the top 50 will receive an additional five contribution points every month during their stay in school, which will last until the second year."
“In addition, every student can get a 20% discount when redeeming campus resources.”
As soon as Lin Xiong finished speaking, a staff member came to him hurriedly and whispered something.
After listening to this, Lin Xiong nodded slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "I have something to do with the teachers present here, everyone please go away, the contribution points will be sent to your student account tomorrow."
After saying this, the teacher left in a hurry.
When Chen Chu walked into the audience with a knife on his back, Xia Youhui excitedly shouted, "Ah Chu, you are awesome this time. You actually made it into the top 50."
Chen Chu smiled and said, "Is it that exaggerated? It's only 49 people."
Xia Youhui was speechless: "Achu, you are good in every way, but your humbleness makes me want to hit you, really."
Puff! Luo Fei beside him couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
Xia Youhui snorted: "It's only 49th place. If you don't want it, you can give it to me. I didn't even make it to the second round. I'm much more unlucky than you."
Luo Fei came in front of Chen Chu, smiling: "In fact, Chen Chu, you can be a little arrogant, because the top 50 freshmen are very impressive."
There are nearly two thousand students in the whole grade, and currently more than seven hundred to eight hundred have successfully established their foundation, in addition to the more than one hundred "geniuses" who have practiced advanced techniques.
Under such circumstances, the fact that Chen Chu, who practiced the low-level Dragon Elephant Skill, was able to make it into the top 50 surprised and shocked everyone who knew him.
Including Lin Xue and Yi Rui, no one expected that there would be someone in the class who could make it into the top 50, especially that person whose initial talent seemed to be average.
That's why Luo Fei said that he could be a little arrogant because he had the qualifications.
Chen Chu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be a little arrogant, at least before everyone breaks through the second level."
Chatting and laughing, the three of them mixed with the crowd as they walked out of the gymnasium.
More than 2,000 people marched out of the stadium, then split into small groups and dispersed.
Today's competition was intense and exciting for the participants, but for the huge Nantian High School of Martial Arts, not many people actually took it seriously.
Even the school only had some class teachers present, not even a leader.
Not to mention the senior students, most of them are not in school, and among the few who are in school, only a few are interested and come to see it.
For them, the competition in the first level is not very interesting, so it would be better to practice more instead of doing so.
…
It was only three o'clock in the afternoon and it was still early. While Xia Youhui and the others went to practice, Chen Chu followed Luo Fei to the thirty-third floor to read.
After flipping through the bookshelf, Chen Chu took out a book on the anatomy of mutant beasts. Luo Fei was already sitting by the window, holding a Taoist scripture in her hand.
Chen Chu came and sat down opposite her, and asked curiously: "Why do you sit in this position every time?"
Luo Fei lifted a strand of hair by her ear, revealing her fair and beautiful profile, and chuckled, "Because the view here is wide and we can get some sun."
"Don't you think it's very poetic to read a book lazily and quietly in the afternoon sun?" As she said this, the girl winked at Chen Chu playfully.
Chen Chu, who didn't expect this reason, paused: "...you said a lot, you are right."
After saying this, both of them smiled faintly, then lowered their heads to read books, enjoying the rare afternoon time.
There is no sign that there was an intense and exciting game before.
However, although he said he was reading a book, most of Chen Chu's attention was focused on the heavy armored beast.
Today's brief glory did not make him lose his mind. He was very clear that his current advantage would not last long.
If he wanted to continue to possess the strength to suppress or even surpass those 'geniuses' after reaching the Second Heaven, he could only hope that his clone would evolve again.
Under the rushing river, a 90-centimeter-long heavily armored beast swam, looking through the turbid water for its prey.
At this time, a group of black carp swam over. The longest fish was nearly one meter long, and the smallest was thirty or forty centimeters.
But the heavy armored beast just took a look and then looked away, continuing to slowly cruise along the riverbed.
After hunting for a few days, Chen Chu found that the nutrients contained in these ordinary fish were average, and the best ones were those large fish that had mutated.
After eating a mutant fish of the same size, it can contribute several times the high-calorie energy, greatly promoting the growth of the heavy armored beast clone.
Suddenly, the water flow in front exploded, and a huge black shadow rushed into the school of fish at an alarming speed. It opened its big mouth and swallowed a one-meter-long black carp.
This is a mutant fish that is more than three meters long and looks like a large-mouthed catfish. Its body is covered with fine black scales. Its huge head occupies half of its body and is one meter wide.
Its mouth was filled with densely packed sharp teeth, and four one-meter-long floating whiskers. It could swallow more than ten black carp in just two swimming back and forths. It was very ferocious.
Bang!
At this moment, the mud at the bottom of the river exploded, and the heavy armored beast, which had been swimming slowly, suddenly burst out with strength in its limbs, stirring up rolling mud and rushing towards the mutant catfish.
Noticing the attacking heavy-armored beast, the huge mutant catfish did not retreat but advanced instead. Its huge mouth grew like a black hole, emitting a powerful suction force.
Gulu! The mutant catfish swallowed the heavy armored beast into its mouth in one gulp.
Compared to the mutant catfish that was over three meters long and had a head that was one meter wide, the heavy armored beast that was less than one meter long was just a small fellow that could be eaten in one bite...
Suddenly, the mutant catfish rolled wildly in the water, and rich blood gushed out from its gills.
I saw a black head sticking out from the hole on the mutant catfish's head, and bright red blood was spreading on the three pairs of horns on both sides, making the black armored beast look extremely hideous.
