Chapter 337 Talents
As a large-scale event held every three years, the Pamir College Competition is particularly lively.
Especially this year's competition venue, which is located in the unprecedented meteorite ruins, has attracted the attention of far more ninth-level powerhouses than in previous years, which has added to the symbolism and commemorative significance of this competition.
Many freshmen played out their best trump cards, and used surprising moves in the competition. From time to time, a party that seemed strong would be overturned by the opponent's unexpected trump card due to carelessness.
The preliminary round took a total of seven days, and hundreds of teams were finally narrowed down to eighty-four, which directly entered the semi-finals five days later.
The remaining teams will enter the resurrection match, and the top 10% of teams in terms of points will advance.
After seven days, the logistics team members in charge of manufacturing equipment in many teams have initially refined magical equipment with relatively simple structures. The intensity of the resurrection competition is much more intense than the preliminary round.
Five days later, with the end of the resurrection match, the rematch of the big competition officially began.
Compared to the preliminary round and the rematch, the semi-final is much more entertaining because the remaining teams are the most elite ones.
Various makeshift artifacts, magic items, simple magic armor, etc., add more uncertainties to the battle situation.
In addition, among the many teams competing against each other, the use of special tactics has become more frequent.
Some teams gathered all the magic equipment and disposable items, equipped the strongest people with them, and then relied on their overwhelming strength to win a quick victory.
Some teams also planned to arrange their weaker combat members to wear protective magic equipment and bring multiple large-scale high-damage magic scrolls before going into battle.
Taking advantage of the rule that there are ninth-order strong men protecting the students during the battle and that there will not be any real danger to their lives, they launch a self-destructive attack against the enemy's strong men.
Under this exchange tactic, even if the opponent can hold on, he will waste his trump cards or consume a huge amount of magic power.
Then, if a strong player from our side comes on stage in full condition, he will be defeated by the opponent who is severely exhausted.
And those who had been the focus of Anvis before, such as Albins, Alyssa, etc., all had very impressive performances in the competition.
Three days later, at six in the evening.
The semi-finals have come to an end, and the 40 teams with the highest points have entered the quarter-finals.
After a day of fighting, many students returned to the academy's airship that was hovering low on the side of the ruins.
The ship's restaurant had already prepared a vast array of delicacies for the many students who had experienced the battle to enjoy a sumptuous dinner.
At the same time, many students in charge of logistics should also take advantage of this time to repair the equipment damaged during the daytime combat, refine new and stronger equipment, and create consumables such as magic scrolls and alchemical potions.
After dinner, Avis, who had been watching the competition for half a month, leisurely left the airship and strolled casually in the ruins.
So far, it's not a good time to explore the ruins.
The Web of Destiny fell into a brief silence, and many ninth-level cultivators also did not move. It was basically useless for him to explore alone.
At this time, the sky had already entered dusk, and since it was just March, the sun set very early.
The clear sky was a beautiful deep blue, with huge silver-purple double moons hanging high in the sky between the sparse, silver-white, cold stars.
The hazy two-color moonlight cast a veil over this dilapidated ancient ruins.
At the end of his walking direction was a white clock tower located on the side of the city ruins.
It was the tallest building in this half of the ruins. Since the fallen ruins themselves were not horizontal, the bell tower was also slightly tilted.
Without using any magic, Avis climbed the stairs like an ordinary person and walked slowly to the top floor of the clock tower.
Along the way, there are some small arched windows on the thick rock exterior walls with signs of weathering.
Through these windows, different areas of the city can be seen.
There is a small terrace on the top of the bell tower. Standing on it and looking out, you can have a panoramic view of the terrain of this half of the ruins.
Perhaps thousands of years ago, the high elves living here also enjoyed the scenery of the city here.
However, when he was about to reach the top terrace, some vague conversations gradually reached Avis' ears.
It seems that there are others who have the same idea as Avis.
"…Team Duran is pretty good. He was able to challenge the third level with the strength of the peak second level and win. He is a very promising seed. Even if he signs a contract with the academy, he only needs to wait for a hundred years."
"I think that the knight named Alyssa in the twelfth-ranked team has great potential. After she graduates, we should try to win her over..."
Walking slowly out of the narrow stone staircase, Avis immediately saw three young men and women.
They were also wearing Pamir uniforms, and he was very familiar with all three of them.
The seventh daughter of the current Enoch clan leader, Shirlin Enoch; the seventh son of the Aslade clan leader, Colen Aslade; and the ninth son of the Alfred clan, Rasul Alfred.
At this moment, the three of them seemed to be discussing the previous competition and the various outstanding talents that appeared in it.
"Don't you guys care about the people in charge of logistics?"
At this time, the only girl among the three raised questions.
"I feel that the boy named Albins in the ninth-ranked team is pretty good. The various special magic tools he made are all very valuable.
There is also the girl named Emily in the eleventh-ranked team. The lights she created that can make people fall into a dream world unconsciously are also very useful."
At this time, hearing Xilin's question, Rasul couldn't help but shrugged.
"You don't seem to be well-informed. Albins is indeed very valuable, but unfortunately, he has been obtained by someone first and has been signed with a high-level contract."
"Really? By whom?"
The black-haired, silver-eyed girl was stunned for a moment and asked somewhat unwillingly.
"...Of course it's me."
At this time, Avis' voice came from the stairs.
All three of them turned around and looked at the fourth guest who came here tonight.
"Great! Sir Avis, you are here too! What a coincidence tonight—"
Seeing him coming, Rasul greeted him with a little surprise, and the other two also nodded to him.
"Also, Emily also has a guest contract with me. Currently, I am responsible for fully reimbursing her research funds."
After nodding politely to the three of them, Avis turned to Xilin, but the words he said made her raise an eyebrow.
"You're really quick."
Looking at Anvis somewhat unwillingly, Xilin muttered.
"Forget it, Xilin. There is no end to the talent, especially when we are in the Royal Pamir Academy."
Glancing at her, Rasul finally ended the topic.
