Chapter 151 Defend and Contend (1/2)

Gao Ge sits with his classmates. The training field becomes a sea of people.

Actually, this time not all the students are required to take part in the contest. The students join the contest on a voluntary basis. Gao Ge also signs up for the contest while all his classmates don’t, except Li Long.

The biggest problem of No. 8 Class Chaos is not that the students are not capable enough but that they are not positive enough. After entering the Academy and being assigned to No. 8 Class Chaos, they have been mentally struck, who believe that their aptitude is so poor. Hence, they don’t even have the courage to sign up for the contest. In Gao Ge’s eyes, it will directly affect their zest for Taoism on the road of cultivation, which is actually a very terrible thing.

Gao Ge believes that the problem is quite serious.

However, there is nothing he can do about it. They must adjust their psychological state themselves.

Not for a while, Yue Xincheng and Meng Jing arrive.

“Boss, who is your opponent?”

Gao Ge takes a look at him and shakes his head, saying, “I don’t know for now.”

Yue Xincheng and Meng Jing also sign up for the contest. Only Xia Lu doesn’t join the contest.

Xia Lu hasn’t been very well since she came back from the tube-shaped apartment building. Although her soul has been nourished by Gao Ge’s power of stars as well as the herbs from the Cultivation Academy, it will take her a long time to recover her damaged soul. At least one month will be needed. Within the one month, what Xia Lu needs to do is to have a good rest and get healed. She believes that there are very few students in the Academy who are capable enough to compete with her, but Gao Ge and her other friends still stop her from joining the contest.

After all, Xia Lu has been in Class Heaven, so there is no need for her to demonstrate her capability.

Meng Jing sits beside Gao Ge so Li Long and other students make some room for her.

“Do you really want to join the contest?” Gao Ge asks.

Meng Jing nods her head heavily and meanwhile holds Gao Ge’s hand.

Gao Ge laughs and doesn’t stop her.

Since Meng Jing entered the Cultivation Academy, she has made rapid progress in cultivation with hard work. Even Meng Fang often compliments her on her good talent.

Therefore, as to Meng Jing, now she must participate in more practical battles so that she can elevate her cultivation level.

Right then, Liu Zhongyi suddenly comes over in a hurry, who looks rather serious.

He doesn’t feel surprised after seeing Meng Jing and Yue Xincheng. After all, Gao Ge is close to them, which he has already known.

“Gao Ge, the contest is a bit different from before this time. You must be well prepared.” Liu Zhongyi looks a bit stern with a frown.

Gao Ge is dumbfounded and can’t help asking, “Mr. Liu, how is it different from before?”

Liu Zhongyi coughs and says slowly, “The previous contests adopt the competition system of drawing lots but this time the contest will be held in the way of defending & contending.”

“Defending & contending?” Gao Ge gets confused and fails to understand.

Meng Jing, Yue Xincheng and the rest of the students are also rather perplexed.

Liu Zhongyi says with a bitter smile, “It’s like wheel war. By calling the names in due order, the one who is called stands on the stage first and then an opponent will be selected randomly. The first one is the defender and the second one is the contender. The loser will be eliminated while the winner will stand on the stage to wait for the next contender’s challenge until he loses.”

Gao Ge takes a deep breath.

He frowns and asks, “Mr. Liu, how many contestants are there this time?”

“500.”

“500?” Gao Ge asks, “If the first one is the most capable one among all the students in the Academy, he can never stand being challenged by 500 people!”

“Yes. Thus, it depends on mere luck. The first one who is called is the unluckiest one.” Liu Zhongyi says with a bitter smile.

Gao Ge is completely muddleheaded.

The contest system is rather unscientific!

Yue Xincheng says grinningly, “It’s no big deal. After all, we are always lucky.”

“Yeah, you are so lucky. The first time when you executed the task of the Dragon Court, you encountered the Ghost Sect then.” Gao Ge says impatiently.
