He promised to come back and rest for a year, but his heart is still tied to the war zone. Sigh...
Casey shook his head and sighed inwardly. The international situation was turbulent, and adversaries like monsters and demons had already emerged from the anomalies. He really hoped that no new races would appear.
If it happens, it's best if it's neutral and friendly, otherwise when will this ever end?
"Huh? How come one of my students is in this competition?"
When Wei Sha returned and looked at the list of participants for the individual competition, he saw the names of Liu Lang and Dai Shanren and looked at Casey with some surprise and asked.
"What? You're not allowing your students to participate in individual competitions?"
"That's not it. It's just that their weaknesses and characteristics are too obvious. Some of their methods are not designed for sparring, which limits their potential. How can you fight against those SS-rank and above people under such circumstances?"
It's better to just participate in team matches and expose fewer of your weaknesses.
But since he'd already participated, he should play his best. Wei Sha looked at the time; the individual finals of the freshman competition were about to begin.
The individual matches were in the morning, and the team matches were in the afternoon, so the schedule was quite tight.
"Still the old format?"
"Yes, it's a challenge format for the second-place finishers. Each person has two chances, and consecutive challenges are not allowed."
The challenge format for the next round is simply a process of challenging the top 32 from the front. If you want, you can fight against the student who is currently ranked number one in the top 32, but this is undoubtedly a waste of attempts, since the school mentors will definitely rank the students according to their expected strength before the rankings are announced.
This will make the competition format much faster, because it won't be like the 32-to-16 or 16-to-8 format, and the strength distribution will be relatively fairer.
The restriction on consecutive challenges also provides the defending champion with a break.
Although there are still some loopholes in the rules, such as allowing students with lower rankings to deliberately choose students with higher rankings in the final moments to secure their positions, almost no students do this.
Firstly, it's about their dignity as geniuses; secondly, their mentors are on stage, and it's easy to tell whose student they are.
As the bell rang outside, the familiar announcement sounded again, and Fu Zirui and Zhou Xuexue's voices entered the office building.
The freshman competition is about to begin, and the contestants will soon be entering the venue.
"Xuexue, everyone is really looking forward to today's final battle. I'm looking forward to it too, but before the match, shouldn't we talk about today's format?"
"Zi Rui is right. Today's competition will adopt a challenge system for the next player. Each player will have two challenge opportunities, and a successful challenge will not consume any challenge attempts."
However, since it's a challenge-based system, there's a time limit. The individual competition this morning will last four hours, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Our top 32 contestants need to complete the challenge within the allotted time, and the final rankings will be determined at 12:00 PM!
The eliminated students below were also discussing it. Such a battle was absolutely fair to the strong teams. If it were a competition like the round of 32 to 16 or 16 to 8, it would be much fairer.
It would be too unfair if a strong team were to face another strong team, or a weak team were to face another weak team.
However, such competitions are prone to extremes, where those ranked higher receive no challenges, while those ranked lower easily use up all their attempts.
As the thirty-two arenas in the arena rose, Dai Shanren and Liu Lang rose to the 16th and 30th positions respectively.
"Welcome everyone to the finals of the Freshman Individual Competition! I'm your commentator, Fu Zirui~"
"I'm commentator Zhou Xuexue~"
"Now let's enjoy the wonderful performances by our students!"
The background music started playing in the arena. Liu Lang blinked. This background music was hell rock. The school was pretty trendy.
"Challenge number sixteen, Dai Shanren!"
The S-class ability user ranked number 20 immediately chose Dai Shanren. Many people looked at him. Dai Shanren's defense is so incredible, how can you break through it?
However, everyone soon realized that because Dai Shanren lacked offensive power, he also had a hard time dealing with his opponent, and this S-class ability user was also speed-type, so this was bound to be a protracted battle.
"Are they trying to protect their ranking?"
Seeing this, Liu Lang couldn't help but complain, "Speed type fighting defense type, rabbit fighting tortoise? Is this some kind of thing that's already started?"
Liu Lang wanted to watch a little longer, but others wouldn't give him the chance, because the S-class ability user ranked last was not convinced.
Are you kidding me? He can acknowledge Dai Shanren's abilities, but what makes Liu Lang so special?
Is it just about brute force in the game?
That's amazing! His special ability is judo, which is specifically designed to counter this type of person.
Liu Lang was surprised to find himself teleported to another battle arena, where his opponent was none other than the thirty-second S-class ability user.
"My name is Zhu Yongfeng, an early-stage S-rank ability user. Please enlighten me!"
"Liu Lang, a first-stage F-level ability user."
After a brief introduction from both sides, Zhu Yongfeng immediately performed a set of moves on the spot, assuming a strange fighting stance.
Not to initiate an attack?
Liu Lang was somewhat puzzled. This person's special ability was judo, which he had seen in today's individual contestant profiles.
But isn't it a bit disrespectful to just passively wait for others to attack?
"Ready? I'm coming in~"
Liu Lang directly conjured a giant hammer in the air and faced Zhu Yongfeng. This move was absolutely awesome!
They don't even need to take it out of their spatial rings; they want it too!
