LRAB Chapter 36 Challenge Begins
Chapter 36 Challenge Begins
All the teams that entered the qualifying rounds stepped onto the final stage like valiant warriors.
The final scores of each team shone like brilliant stars on the stage. Team Wuheyi, like a triumphant king, gloriously won ten points. Combined with the six points from the elimination rounds, they achieved a perfect score of sixteen points, which was truly remarkable.
Amidst everyone's eager anticipation, the final and most exciting exchange match finally arrived: the revival match, also known as the winner's challenge match.
Dean Sen waved his hand, like a conductor, and the rules were magically projected onto the large screen beside him.
Every eliminated team is like a golden key to challenge the winning team. If they succeed, they can take over the arena; if they fail, they will be ruthlessly eliminated.
The defenders of each arena are like warriors guarding a treasure. They accept challenges based on the remaining points on the arena. When the points reach zero, it means that the final champion of the corresponding arena has been born.
However, if no one challenges a particular arena for more than an hour, the current champion of that arena ascends the throne of victory and becomes the final champion.
Every two points are like a burning flame, requiring you to accept a challenge until your points are reduced to zero. When the remaining points are less than or equal to one, the points will disappear instantly like a shooting star.
After all challengers successfully challenge the champion, they will automatically inherit the remaining points from the moment they step onto the stage, and will automatically gain six points like a gentle spring breeze.
At that moment, all the contestants who had finished reading the challenge rules turned their sharp eyes to the first team's arena.
The person standing on that arena, though enveloped in golden light and appearing towering and majestic, looked like a lamb to the slaughter in the eyes of others, giving them a false impression.
The two enormous numbers on the first arena, sixteen, resemble two majestic mountain peaks, proclaiming their victory and also indicating that this arena will have to accept at least eight challenges.
Those who had previously faced the people on this stage knew the strength of this team, and no one wanted to be the first to challenge them. But everyone longed to be the one to taste the fruits of victory in the end.
With a wave of his large, fan-like hand, Dean Mori signaled the start of the round. All one had to do was raise their hand and shout out the ring they wanted to challenge.
The people below the stage remained almost completely unmoved, like wooden or clay sculptures. Of course, some whispered among themselves, but no one dared to raise their hand like a warrior to choose a team to challenge.
It's not that they are all afraid of the first and second place champions, but rather that they completely look down on the champions below the first place.
These people are all ambitious and eager to be number one. However, most of them are also timid and know their own strength very well. They know that to win the championship, they must have extraordinary strength as a backing.
More than ten minutes passed, and still no one chose to take on the challenge. Dean Sen and Dean Liang looked at each other, at a loss as if they were ants on a hot pan.
At this moment, the person on the fourth arena raised their hand, standing out like a crane among chickens.
"Shouldn't we also be qualified to challenge others?"
Upon hearing the question from the arena, Dean Liang did not reprimand him. Instead, he stood up and spoke in a gentle, spring-like manner.
In the challenge, all teams can challenge other teams on the stage, but teams on the stage can only challenge teams ranked higher than themselves, and each team has only one challenge opportunity.
After listening to Old Man Liang's words, the student nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and then raised his hand again and said, "We want to challenge the team on the second arena."
Immediately, the entire audience erupted in uproar, some completely bewildered, while others joined in the commotion.
The fourth arena's words were like a sharp sword, piercing everyone's eardrums. It was clearly a declaration to everyone that although I couldn't beat the first arena, I was not convinced of the strength of the group in the second arena.
Then, at the referee's command, the contestants from the fourth arena shot forward like arrows to the second arena, introducing themselves and unleashing their martial spirits, ready to engage in a thrilling duel.
Now that some had already chosen to challenge, the others followed suit, swarming like locusts searching for a suitable arena to challenge. However, an interesting scene unfolded: after the rules were read, everyone stared at arena number one like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey, but when it came to choosing a challenger, not a single team dared to challenge the reigning champion on the first arena.
Now it was Wu Heyi's turn to feel bored. He had thought he could have a relaxing and enjoyable battle, but no one dared to challenge him. After waiting for a full half hour, still no one came forward to challenge him. Wu Heyi even considered taking out a deck of cards to teach Mi'er and Lin Bei how to play Dou Dizhu!
Just then, a familiar yet jarring voice rang out.
"Our team is challenging the first arena!"
Upon hearing the voice, Wu Heyi sprang to his feet like a carp leaping over the dragon gate. Looking at the people raising their hands below the arena, as expected, just as Wu Heyi had thought, the team represented by Dugu Yan had participated in the vote.
Originally, the three belonged to different teams, but members of each team suffered injuries of varying degrees. This caused some of the more vulnerable members to give up the rest of the competition, while others withdrew because their injuries were too severe and even with treatment, they could not guarantee a full recovery.
Finally, the three went to the academy to ask the dean to rejoin their team, and they easily received the team-up notice. Little did they know, the academy's old guard had been eyeing them for a long time.
Through the previous matches, they realized that the three of them alone were no match for Wu Heyi, but if they joined forces, they might become a touchstone for Wu Heyi.
That's right. The academy never expected the three of them to defeat Wu Heyi together; they just hoped to use this to unleash Wu Heyi's special potential.
Dugu Yan, holding Ye Lingling's hand, followed behind Yu Tianheng and walked briskly onto their number one arena.
There was a hint of murderous intent in the eyes of all three of them. It wasn't the kind of murderous intent that wanted to kill the other person, but rather the kind of murderous intent that showed their arrogance and disdain for the other person.
Everyone has an enemy they want to defeat, so when the three of them came together, they actually formed a considerable force.
Yu Tianheng stared intently at Mi'er. The main reason he was eliminated was not because of Wu Heyi, but because Mi'er's soul skill tormented him to no end.
Dugu Yan's eyes were fixed on Wu Heyi. He knew Wu Heyi's special abilities and felt that his soul skill was somewhat unfair.
Ye Lingling didn't hate Shanren too much, but Lin Bei's gaze made her feel disgusted.
