80 Like I Would Believe You (1/2)

Within these 2,000 people, almost ninety percent were fifth-year senior students. Regardless of whether it was their cultivation or skills, they had already reached the highest attainment. Clearly, their days in the Dao College had brought out their advantages which exceeded the new students greatly.

There were many who caused Wang Baole to pay full attention during their battles. There were some in the Combat faculty who had mastered various mystic techniques which were exclusive to the Combat faculty. Some could create illusions behind them—results of a certain circulation method due to an abundance of Blood Qi.

There were also speed-type mystic techniques. When used, the speed was so alarming that even Wang Baole's eyes contracted.

In fact, these experts from the Combat faculty were secondary. What scared Wang Baole the most were the Alchemy and Array Formation faculties. The tactics used by the students from these two faculties were too strange.

Wang Baole witnessed a senior student from the Alchemy faculty who would not have been able to face a Combat faculty student head on. However, he was good at poison alchemy, forcing his opponent to admit defeat.

The Alchemy faculty also had pills to strengthen their own body. The moment they swallowed the pills, their strength would rise exponentially, becoming so powerful that they shocked people.

With the difference in pills, the fighting methods of the Alchemy faculty are also similarly varied. It's impossible to guard against!

While Wang Baole felt worried, the Array Formation faculty also gave him a headache. The moment that students from the Array Formation faculty attacked, they could create an array formation at the fastest speed. They would use the power from the environment to suppress and contain, and there was even a battle where Wang Baole personally witnessed an Array formation student create an entire mirage!

In that battle, his opponent did not even fight, immediately acknowledging his defeat.

Other than these two faculties, the Traps faculty and the other faculties were not easy opponents either. To Wang Baole, this period of observation allowed him to have an even deeper understanding of the system in the entire Ethereal Dao College.

Finally, from these 50,000 people, 2,000 were selected, and all the registered Head Prefects joined in to begin the second round of the exam. On some level, this could be called the final stage of selection!

To the students from the various faculties watching the match, the attraction of the second round far exceeded the first. Even the teachers were interested, and the referees from each match grew from one to three people!

Among those slightly more than 2,000 Dao College students, each one of them was the cream of the crop in Ethereal Dao College. On some level, one could even say confidently that a large number of these 2,000 students would enter the True Breath realm!

Even the final eliminated thousand could achieve the opportunity of attaining True Breath transformation in the Dao College's own mystic realm.

Thus, the Dao College was especially careful to ensure that there were no deaths during the exam!

Even people from the Upper Academy Island came to prevent any sort of accident. With that, this exam for 2,000 became the most important event in the entire Ethereal Dao College. The attention it reached a peak.

Just as all the countless students were closely watching, Wang Baole received the notification and began to draw lots to determine his first battle!

He did not need to personally go to a designated place as he could draw lots on the Dao College's Spirit Intranet. Right now, Wang Baole sat cross-legged in the cave abode. After drinking a large gulp of Ice Spirit Water, he wiped his mouth and opened the Spirit Intranet.

For the first battle, which faculty will it be? Wang Baole inhaled deeply and drew his lot. Soon the result came out—it did not give the opponent's identity, only the venue and time of the competition.

The time was in two hours, and the venue was the Dharmic Armament faculty's third arena!

For a moment, Wang Baole was stunned. After all, it was his first time drawing lots, and he had thought that he could directly find out the opponent's identity. He scratched his head and checked the Spirit Intranet before realizing that many people had the same query. Finally, he thought about it and came up with an answer.

”This is to prevent people from cheating once they have found out their opponent's identity. So, they only gave the time and venue, and we can only find out who our opponent is once we reach the arena. This Ethereal Dao College is truly cunning,” Wang Baole muttered to himself. Seeing that there was not much time left, he quickly began meditating to adjust his inner breath.

Only when he reached his peak state did Wang Baole finally release a breath. Counting the time, he walked out of the cave abode when it was almost time for the competition, running straight toward the third arena.

The Dharmic Armament faculty had a total of ten arenas. The third arena was located near the Spirit Stones hall. At that moment, there were already three teachers seated outside the arena, waiting for both competitors to arrive. There were also many people sitting around the arena watching.

Although the students watching did not know who was competing, they knew that anyone who made it within the top 2,000 was a strong contender. So, to all these students, unless it was someone famous or a match that they had chosen themselves, it did not make much of a difference which match they watched.

”Don't know who's going to be fighting here. Is it someone from our Dharmic Armament faculty?”

”Everyone, keep an eye on the Spirit Intranet. It will be announced in a moment. I want to watch Wang Baole's match!”

”I think it's better to watch Zhao Yameng's match. After all, she's a top student who managed to get into White Deer Dao College.”
