Chapter 93: Continental College Competition (4)
Chapter 93: Continental College Competition (4)
If you just keep maintaining a sense of superiority on the path of cultivation, you are destined to not go far.
They have all been through this, so they naturally know the hidden dangers that this sense of superiority can bring.
Since they knew that there were hidden dangers, as masters they naturally had to eliminate them for their apprentices.
They used to be arrogant, but they paid a heavy price and finally understood that there are always people better than you.
When it was the disciples' turn, neither Han Yan nor Bing Linxuan wanted them to repeat their old path.
That's why Han Yan and Bing Linxuan thought of letting the two of them participate in the Continental College Competition.
There are many elites in the mainland college competition, some of whom are even better than the two of them.
Han Yan and Bing Linxuan also believed that with Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao's intelligence, they would soon understand their good intentions.
You see, we just finished the first level, and the two of them noticed it and made changes.
"Very good. It lived up to Linxuan and I's expectations. It seems you all have noticed it."
Han Yan's words were filled with satisfaction and relief.
"In the past, we were too confident and arrogant. We didn't understand that there are always people who are better than us. We always thought that our talents were already the best in the continent."
Nangong Jing bowed to Han Yan and replied in a deep voice.
"Being able to say this, it seems you truly understand. Your talents are indeed strong, but there are people on this continent with talents just as strong as yours, or even stronger. So whether you are practicing or acting, you must remember to be humble."
Han Yan said earnestly.
Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao waited for Han Yan to finish speaking, then bowed and spoke in unison.
"Follow the Master's (Uncle's) instructions."
"If you can understand your shortcomings today and make changes, then no matter what your final results are, your trip to the Continental College Tournament will not be in vain. Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go back and rest."
As soon as he finished lecturing, Han Yan started to chase them away, complaining that the two tall and strong men were taking up too much space standing there.
Nangong Jing looked at Han Yan's disgusted expression and felt a little amused.
Everyone thinks Han Yan has a gentle personality, but only those who know him well know how changeable he is.
When Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao returned to the inn, everyone else had already returned.
Feng Xuanzhou was looking out in the lobby, and rushed over as soon as he saw the two of them coming back.
"Why did you come back just now? I thought they came back a long time ago."
If Feng Xuanzhou hadn't known that there were many priests protecting Fite College and nothing could happen, he would have thought that something had happened to them.
"After we looked at the list, we went to look for the master, so we came back late."
Seeing that Feng Xuanzhou was about to cry, Nangong Jing regretted not sending someone back with a message first.
Feng Xuanzhou was completely relieved after hearing this, and finally had the mind to care about the two people's performance.
"How did the exam go? Everyone at Imperial Capital College did well. The student who was in charge of the students before, what was his name? Oh, Yu Tianze, I think. He scored 98 this time, just two points away from a perfect score. Everyone feels sorry for him."
"I scored eight points in ninety-three, and Ayao scored nine points in ninety-six."
Nangong Jing had heard of the name Yu Tianze. He was already an intermediate magician at such a young age and was said to be the best among the younger generation of the Imperial Capital Academy.
Nangong Jing remembered that in his previous life, he seemed to have been accepted as a disciple by the dean of the Imperial Capital Academy, and was later trained as an heir.
Before Nangong Jing's death, he seemed to have become the vice-president of the Imperial Capital College.
Some people say that if Yu Tianze had no ambition and preferred to stay in the academy, with his talent he would definitely be able to make a name for himself on the mainland.
"That's pretty impressive. Our inn is home to the top three academies in the academy competition, so the contestants are all quite strong. The lowest score was seven. But some academies in smaller countries seem to have scored two or three points."
After the results came out, Feng Xuanzhou didn't just wait for them to come back, he also found out a lot of information.
Nangong Jing once again felt that it was a pity that Feng Xuanzhou did not act as a spy. It had only been a short while, but he had already found out so much information.
Yu Tianze, who was originally talking to everyone, also saw Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing.
"Xuanyuan, Nangong, why are you back so late? What happened?"
Yu Tianze was also called His Highness Xuanyuan Xingyao, or the Prince, at the beginning.
It’s just that Xuanyuan Xingyao thinks that everyone is a contestant, so there is no need to be too special.
Although he is the prince of the Dragon Shadow Empire, he is also a contestant in the college competition. Just treat him as an ordinary person during the competition.
That's why Yu Tianze was so intimate and directly called Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing.
Nangong Jing's response to Yu Tianze's question was no different from his answer to Feng Xuanzhou.
Yu Tianze nodded when he heard this. As the leader of the contestants, he was also responsible for the safety of all the students.
Not to mention the special identities of Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing, just because they are contestants this time, Yu Tianze must ensure the safety of the two.
"Now that you're back, come to my room. We were just discussing the second level of the melee tomorrow."
Yu Tianze extended the invitation.
Although there are still many seats in the lobby, there are many people in the lobby and what they say can easily be overheard, so it is better to go to the room.
Fortunately, the superior rooms in this inn are relatively large, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many people.
Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing naturally would not refuse this.
A few discerning students, upon seeing Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing coming, quickly stood up and gave up their seats.
Although Feng Xuanzhou is not a contestant, he came to join in the fun and gain some experience in case it comes in handy in the future.
Everyone knew Feng Xuanzhou's identity and that he had a good relationship with Xuanyuan Xingyao, so they naturally wouldn't chase him away.
"The second round of free-for-alls consists of groups of ten, usually decided by drawing lots on the spot. This means no one knows who their opponent will be tomorrow. Although we're usually immediately disbanded, if we do encounter this, I hope everyone can stop at a certain point and avoid damaging the relationship."
As soon as he sat down, Yu Tianze spoke first.
In the second round, only the top ten are qualified, which means that with so many people present, even if they don’t match up at the beginning, they will match up in the end.
That's why Yu Tianze gave everyone a heads-up in advance, letting them know that no matter what, they were all classmates in the same academy, and they could compete with each other but not excessively.
Everyone naturally agreed with this. Regardless of whether they had any grudges or not, their words and actions now represented the Imperial Capital Academy.
Naturally, they would not abandon the Imperial Capital Academy and the face of the Dragon Shadow Empire for the sake of selfishness or grades.
"In the second round of melee, the summoner is actually the most dangerous. This is because the summoners who can participate in the competition are at least great summoners, able to summon two or three monsters, capable of both attacking and defending. Therefore, in every melee, everyone will first deal with the summoner."
When Yu Tianze said this, he glanced at Nangong Jing and several other summoners.
No one doubted Yu Tianze's words, because everyone knew that he had a good relationship with the teachers.
Before leaving this time, the dean talked to him for a long time, and there must be something about the competition.
And what Yu Tianze said was also true. Among the three professions of magician, warrior and summoner, summoner is the most powerful.
Because the summoner can attack and defend, and can even attack from a distance or in close combat, he has almost no weaknesses.
Unlike magicians who are more suitable for long-range attacks, warriors are more suitable for close combat.
Of course, these are all in the early stages. When you reach the level of magician and war emperor, there is nothing you can do except long-range attack or close combat.
If there weren't relatively few awakened summoners on the continent, it would take almost four or five awakened magicians or warriors to awaken one summoner.
No one knows whether the three professions on the mainland can still maintain equal status.
After hearing what Yu Tianze said, Xuanyuan Xingyao became a little worried about Nangong Jing's situation tomorrow.
"Don't worry, I'm not that weak. If they really unite, we don't know who will win in the end."
Nangong Jing sensed Xuanyuan Xingyao's worry and said with a hint of arrogance.
Seeing Nangong Jing's confident expression, Yu Tianze smiled slightly and continued.
"So, after tomorrow's match begins, summoners, please summon all your monsters immediately. Remember not to hold back. And after summoning your monsters, those with strong defensive abilities should protect them, while those with strong offensive abilities should attack the others directly. Don't give them a chance to unite."
"Thank you, Senior Yu, for your advice. We'll take note of it."
A summoner who was also from the Imperial Capital Academy said to Yu Tianze with gratitude.
Yu Tianze shook his head and did not accept the other party's thanks.
"Don't thank me. I was just repeating what the dean told me. If you really want to thank someone, you should thank the dean."
"If I'm lucky enough to get a good grade this time, I'll definitely thank the dean when I get back. If I don't get any good grades, I won't have the face to see the dean."
The student who spoke just now said with a smile.
The dean has given me so many suggestions, but I still can't get a good result. I am so ashamed that I don't even have the face to thank him.
Yu Tianze just smiled and didn't say much.
After a while, when everyone had absorbed most of what he said, he continued.
"According to the Dean, the first thing the warriors need to deal with in this second stage is not the summoner, but a warrior of the same class."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers fell into deep thought, as if they were wondering why the dean made such a suggestion.
Xuanyuan Xingyao was the first to understand what the dean meant. Everyone only saw that the summoner could attack or defend, but overlooked one point, which was the competition venue.
Although the arena can accommodate more than ten people fighting at the same time, it does have limitations.
In fact, at the end of the game, the warriors who are good at close combat are still the ones who have the greatest advantage.
Although magicians are powerful, they are restricted by the venue in the arena. Some magic is difficult to use unless the opponent does not care about his own safety.
As for the summoner, as long as he is strong enough, it doesn't matter if he faces two or three monsters at the same time.
Only warriors, as long as they are strong and responsive, can show their advantages more and more in the later stages.
If you are smarter and save some energy at the beginning, then when others are almost done fighting, the chances of winning will be greater.
