Chapter 99: To Hunt (2/2)

Yet Wang Tong advanced slowly as he was sniffing the surroundings, he would even stop from time to time, like he was having deep thoughts.

“You have quite a remarkable student right there, Principal Samantha. Please don’t tell me he is your secret weapon, I would say he is more suitable to become a gardener,” Ovlor, the Disciplinary Master of Bernabeu, laughed as he spoke.

It might be inappropriate for the principal to say that, but it didn’t mean that the others were not allowed to say as well. Ovlor was no ordinary man, and the words he said earlier wasn’t only to humiliate Samantha but to see how she responded in terms of emotion; if he were able to make her angry and impulsive, Bernabeu would be another step closer to final victory.

However, Samantha remained calm, she knew neither sides would show their opponents any mercy in a competition. To students, this was the confrontation of skills and techniques; as for teachers, this would be the “battle” of mentality and emotional management, their rivalry would always remain unchanged. It would be impossible for Samantha to revive Ayrlarng if she didn’t have the ability to withstand such pressure.

“Mr. Ovlor, that kid is indeed our most unique student,” she said with a smile on her face. Ovlor’s trick was useless against her since she studied psychology. However, she was getting nervous as Wang Tong was still wasting his time doing nothing, she wished he could start paying attention to what was going on!

Meanwhile, Ma Xiaoru was still leading in the first position with her horrifying speed, stretching the gap between Wang Ben, Hu Yangxuan, Cao Yi, and the other primary aces. It appeared that most of them were trapped in battles, after all, it would be impossible for anyone to pass through the territory of Zergs without breaking a sweat. Ma Xiaoru was able to advance due to her incredible speed and ability to fight, the Tactics of the Enchantress definitely earned its reputation as one of the five greatest tactics of mankind due to its ability to kill with a single strike. Without a doubt, Ma Xiaoru’s capability to advance had proven that her strength was not to be underestimated.

Ma Xiaoru clearly understood that she had to avoid as many Zergs as possible, she would choose to kill if there were only a few of them, and she would escape in speed if there were a lot of them.

Actually, most of them were having the same thoughts, but the effectiveness would depend on their own skills. In the beginning, most of them charged toward the goal confidently, but no matter which route they chose, Zergs would begin their aggressive attacks as they got closer to the core of their territory.

Wang Ben was not an idiot, he was actually warming up by making ferocious attacks previously, he would also stop mingling with the creatures once his body was ready for action; time was the key to winning this round.

As for the other students of Bernabeu and Ayrlarng, they were gradually getting stuck in trouble, there might be a slight difference in terms of progress, but it didn’t really matter since neither of them was able to reach the finish line anyway.

Aside from normal students, the Level-A difficulty was also too harsh for the elites.

“Apache! Apache! Apache!”

Students of Bernabeu stood up and cheered as Apache charged with an amazing speed that was able to match Ma Xiaoru’s haste. Most of them that were in front of him a while ago had been engaging with Zergs and “helped” him cleared a path, more importantly, he was smart enough to discover those gaps and managed to avoid a lot of unnecessary battles.

Samantha was aware of Apache’s existence, but she didn’t expect that Martyrus would summon him back for this tournament, and she suspected it was probably because of Wang Ben’s recruitment. She was pleased by the arrival of this “double edge sword”, at least it managed to bring him a sense of danger.

It was normal for the students of Bernabeu to be excited because Apache was the only one who obtained two wins during Bernabeu’s last tournament with another S-ranked academy while everyone else was defeated. Apache was no doubt the legend of Bernabeu and the only one who had conquered every elite of S-ranked academies. Anyhow, Bernabeu would still be having difficulties against the almighty Capth and Yalden even though they were growing fast in recent years.

Bernabeu’s growth had almost surpassed Ayrlarng during its glorious days.

“Haha, Principal Samantha, looks like this is gonna be a showdown between Apache and Ma Xiaoru.”

Even though the result of this round was determined by the number of candidates who reached the goal and the time of arrival, that didn’t mean everyone would be spending the whole day waiting for their arrivals. According to the rules, those who were not able to reach the designated goal within thirty minutes would be disqualified.

Judging from the current situation, Ma Xiaoru and Apache were the only ones that would be able to reach in time. It would be a mixed outcome for Wang Ben and the others since they were mostly engaged and had no time advantages; especially Wang Ben, who had picked the wrong route even though he was strong, countless of Zergs had completely blocked his path.

Apparently, almost everyone was engaging with Zergs, no one was worrying about the time of reaching the goal anymore as they were busy worrying about escaping from the entrapment of Zergs. Without a doubt, Zergs’ ability to hunt was just as good as mankind’s.
