Chapter 116 Arena (1/2)

“The venue of the actual combat test in the afternoon is the arena!” Mu Zhongtian said to the students with deep meaning in his eyes.

Hearing these words, many of them heaved a sigh of relief.

What did the arena mean? When confronted face to face, they would be fighting based on their true battle strength, it was completely unlike the maze previously, which had so many uncertainties.

In other words, fighting in the arena meant that whoever was stronger would get better results. They and their opponents would rely less on their luck and intellect.

“The specific rules of the test are as follows. Due to Dorm 333’s outstanding performance during the mid-term test previously, they will be the defending champion for this test. The other teams would draw lots to enter the arena. There would be nine matches in total — this means that the students of Dorm 333 would have to undergo nine battles. After every battle, the simulator would restore their strength and restart all over again. We will assess all of you based on your performance in the battle. Of course, the team that can defeat Dorm 333 would have higher scores.”

The moment these rules were announced, the relaxed look on Lan Xuanyu and his teammates’ faces turned into shock; Qian Lei even almost cried.

‘What’s going on? How did we become a target for everyone all of a sudden?’

During lunch just now, he was still on the high ropes because no matter what, they would not be eliminated!

But the test this afternoon was simply too unfair eh. They had to fight nine battles?

They had tried before and even though the simulator would restore their Soul Power, it wouldn’t restore their Spiritual Power completely! They wouldn’t be able to last for nine battles long! Also, with each team coming up one by one, this meant that their strength would be revealed before everyone and would no longer be a secret.

During these three months, the three of them had been so discreet in order to hide and wait for the crucial moment such as the next semester’s test to perform, right?

“Teacher, can we give up? Anyway, we’re safe already,” Qian Lei blurted.

Mu Zhongtian’s face darkened. “This is your chance to prove yourself. I believe the other teams would love to have a chance like this to display their talents. The initial rule stated that your team wouldn’t be eliminated this semester but if you guys lose more than half of the nine battles later, then we will take away all of your plus signs in the next semester and deduct all your scores by 30% too.”

“Ah?” Qian Lei was dumbstruck. This seemed like the academy was picking on them!

Actually, the test wasn’t supposed to be like that. Blame Lan Xuanyu for this. His Spiritual Power suddenly broke through 200 points and made the teachers of the Junior Elite Class extremely excited. They all wanted to see just how well this Dorm 333 could perform now.

After requesting the approval from the academy, they were allowed to hold such a different end of term test.

But he wasn’t wrong; for example, Lu Qianxun was now looking at them with jealousy. If it was him, he would be more than willing to be the defending champion. It was an honor! Being able to be the defending champion, it meant that everyone recognized him as the strongest one. It would also be his chance to display himself to the teachers; the better he performs, the more support he would receive from the academy in the future. The academy’s resources were the most precious and many cannot be bought with money.

Liu Feng nudged Qian Lei with a burning passion to fight in his eyes. To them, this was undoubtedly a test. Since the school wants to test them, do it, then.

Lan Xuanyu was quite calm though, he was in a good mood today. His Spiritual Power had broken through 200 points and he was sure that the Spiritual Power test helped him to breakthrough. Entering the middle phase of the Spirit Connection realm, even he himself felt his own level of consciousness improve.

After training for a few months, he had also improved quite a bit. His Soul Power may be increasing slowly but his physical quality and overall strength did improve a lot. The actual combat test would be a good test too. The coordination between him, Liu Feng and Qian Lei had gotten better as well. Compared to the midterms, he could consider that they had undergone a qualitative change.

“Alright, draw the lots later. Please enter the simulator.”

The actual combat test was naturally still taken place in the simulator to prevent unnecessary injuries, it also allowed students to display their true strength.

Lan Xuanyu, Qian Lei and Liu Feng entered the simulator to get into the arena.
