The few of them looked at each other and did not hesitate. If they did not even dare to challenge here, then what was the point of coming here?
The group of people went up in a single file and came to the edge of the pool.
The pool was not big, less than a hundred meters in radius, but the water was still clear enough for people to drink.
Seeing the newcomers arrive, the cultivators resting by the pool all raised their heads and looked at the group of newcomers.
"They're new this year."
"It's about time. Looks like this group of people is quite strong."
"I don't know if they're strong, but they're quite good-looking, especially that girl. The two guys are also quite handsome."
"Good looks can't make a living. At least the ants below don't care if you're handsome or not. They just want to get the star crystals."
These martial artists discussed but did not move. Clearly, they wanted to see which side these newcomers were going to challenge.
This kind of thing happened once a year. These people were all former students and were used to it. However, they were still very interested. After all, life in the Stellar Fruit Tree was very boring.
Brother Guang brought them to a tree trunk. A piece of bark had been peeled off, and the grouping of the three branches was written on it.
"This is the grouping of the three branches. Remember, each branch can only be divided into three groups. You can only start from the third place. The details are here. Take a look and let me know when you've made your decision."
Everyone came to the blackboard-like tree bark and looked at the rankings on the three branches.
The branch on the left was the third group, Class 495, five members, and the leader was Zhang Sicheng.
The second group was a mixed group, five members, and the leader was Xu Tianjiao.
The first group was Class 492, five members, and the leader was Nie Zhenwei.
Seeing this, Jiang Huai could not help but curse, "F * ck! Why are there still Class 492? Didn't they come five years earlier than us? It's been five years, and these people still haven't left the Stellar Fruit Tree. Are they planning to stay here until they're old? How are the new students supposed to survive? "
Lin Zhen said from the side, "Don't forget that Liang Feng we met when we first came. He's already been here for eight years."
Jiang Huai sighed, "Seems like it's really hard for newcomers to survive here."
Looking down, the branch in the middle also had three groups. The first group was a mixed group. Not only were there students from the previous two batches, the leader was even a Class 492 student who had been here for seven years.
There were three groups on the right. The first group was Class 491.
According to the rules, the group had to be made up of five people. If a challenger issued a challenge, the number of people in the group had to be the same as the number of people in the opponent's group.

But how to form a team was also a problem.
Su Mingyue definitely wanted to be with Lin Zhen, while Ma Mingxing wanted to be with Jiang Huai. Sun Tie and the other three Heaven's Mansion martial artists also didn't want to be separated. There were also two martial artists from Capital Base City who wanted to be with Su Mingyue. After all, Su Mingyue was almost the flagship of Capital Base City.
After a final discussion, Sun Tie was assigned to Lin Zhen's group, while Jiang Huai and Ma Mingxing formed a team with the other three Heaven's Mansion martial artists.
In this way, both teams had some competitiveness. Needless to say, Lin Zhen and Su Mingyue were from Capital Base City. One of them was an advanced warlord, and the other was an intermediate warlord. Sun Tie was also an intermediate warlord. Their strength wasn't bad.
In the other team, Jiang Huai was the leader. Two of the three Heaven's Mansion martial artists were advanced warlords, while Ma Mingxing and the other person were intermediate warlords. Overall, their strength was about the same as Lin Zhen's team.
Both teams had been formed. Jiang Huai was the team leader, and Su Mingyue was supposed to be the team leader. However, Su Mingyue wanted to be Lin Zhen's obedient girlfriend no matter what. This made Lin Zhen speechless.
The team leaders were also selected and notified Brother Guang. Brother Guang gave them two number cards and told them that they could start choosing their opponents to challenge.
The people in the third group looked at Lin Zhen's team from the corner of their eyes. Obviously, they didn't take these two rookie teams seriously.
In front of the left branch, Zhang Sicheng, the team leader of the 495th batch, even whistled. "Hey! Beautiful lady, do you want to spar with us? Your boyfriend is only an intermediate warlord. He won't have a future if he joins that team. If you come over here, I will definitely give you a spot. "
Su Mingyue didn't say anything. As her fake boyfriend, Lin Zhen naturally couldn't remain indifferent. He retorted, "If you guys give me all your spots, I will consider it. Otherwise, there's no need to talk about it."
"Haha! Brat, you talk big. How about it? Do you have the courage to challenge us? If you win, I don't dare to say much, but you guys will still have a chance to get one or two star crystals every week. "
The third group would have one day every week. If they were lucky enough, they would indeed have a chance to pick a good star crystal.
Before Lin Zhen could make a decision, Su Mingyue suddenly whispered in his ear, "Let's challenge them. This person doesn't speak well."
Lin Zhen nodded. The other party was from the 495th batch, which was only two batches higher than them. They didn't seem particularly difficult to deal with.
He turned around and said to Brother Guang, "Brother Guang, we have decided to challenge the 495th batch."
"Okay, you guys can decide. Team battle or individual battle?"
"Is there a difference?"
"There is a difference. The team battle is five against five. The group battle is five against five. The individual battle is also five against five. Two out of three wins."
Lin Zhen and Su Mingyue discussed for a while and decided to carry out the individual battle. At least Lin Zhen and Su Mingyue were still relatively confident. As long as one of their teammates performed well and won a match, it was very likely that they would win.
At this time, Jiang Huai's team had also made their choice. They would challenge the third group on the right. It would also be an individual battle.
Seeing that they had made their choice, Brother Guang said to the people on both sides, "Now, you guys line up your battle order. Don't let the other party see it. After you line up, just hand the order to me."
The five advanced warlords on the other side laughed and walked to the side to discuss. This kind of battle happened every week. They were already used to it.
Lin Zhen and the others immediately began to discuss nervously.
Su Mingyue took the lead and said, "I will go first and try to win the match."
Lin Zhen thought for a while and said, "Then I will go last. If it is two against two, I will try to win the last match."
For the remaining three people, Sun Tie would go second, Beijing's advanced warlord Fu Haisheng would go third, and Beijing's intermediate warlord Luo Zhen would go fourth.
After the order was arranged, it was handed to Brother Guang. Brother Guang had already received the other party's order. He then said to them, "Follow me over here. We will start immediately."
The two teams followed Brother Guang. After a turn, they arrived in front of a huge tree stump. The tree stump was dozens of meters thick and one meter tall. It was like a natural arena.
Many martial artists who had nothing to do came to watch. On the contrary, there were very few people who went to see Jiang Huai and the others. Among the people who came here, eight or nine out of ten were here to see Su Mingyue. After all, beautiful women were easy to look at. Furthermore, women here were rare creatures.
Brother Guang said to both teams, "We have a rule in the arena. You are not allowed to kill. If you kill your opponent by mistake, your team will not be able to challenge again for a month. Furthermore, the person who killed your opponent will be expelled and will never be allowed to appear in the Ant Nest again. Do you understand?"
The martial artists nodded one after another. Although they couldn't use their skills to their heart's content if they couldn't kill anyone, they were all warlords. There were plenty of ways to defeat their opponents without killing anyone.
"Alright, let's get ready to start. The first contestant can go on stage."
On the 495 team's side, Zhang Sicheng was the first to go on stage.
His weapon was a large ringed saber. After going on stage, he waved it around. "Rookies, welcome to the Ant Nest. I, Zhang Sicheng, will give you a good lesson here. I will let you know that when you come here, you have to cultivate honestly. Don't try to challenge your seniors in vain. You will lose miserably if you do so."
Su Mingyue snorted coldly. With a twist of her delicate body, she gently jumped onto the arena.
Su Mingyue was still wearing the white priest robe today. Until now, she still couldn't decide whether to continue believing in the Starry Sky True God. However, wearing this set of clothes had become her habit and she couldn't change it for the time being.
She was wearing a beautiful long dress, a golden ribbon, waterfall-like black hair, and a fairy-like face. When Su Mingyue went on stage, there was a round of applause from the audience.
"Beauty, come on! Defeat that gorilla, Zhang Sicheng!"
"What am I seeing? A real-life version of Beauty and the Beast?"
"Zhang Sicheng, if you show mercy and let the beauty win, I will give you one of the planet crystals our team gets next time. How about it?"
Although everyone supported Su Mingyue, no one really thought that this delicate girl could be Zhang Sicheng's opponent.
Zhang Sicheng also didn't expect Su Mingyue to go on stage. He was stunned for a moment before he laughed and said, "Hehe, don't worry, Miss. Although I, Zhang Sicheng, look rough, I am not someone who doesn't know how to be tender to the fairer sex. I promise I will be gentle with you and won't hurt a single strand of your hair."
Su Mingyue didn't answer him at all. She took out her treasured sword, which was surrounded by a cold light, and put on a fighting stance.
"Your posture is decent, but I don't know if you can kill an ant with it. A person like you shouldn't be a warrior. You should stay at home and do embroidery and take care of children. I can take care of you for the rest of your life. "
Zhang Sicheng wasn't an idiot. Although he said Huahua to tease Su Mingyue, he was actually very cautious. He hoped to use this method to make Su Mingyue lose her sense of propriety.
However, Su Mingyue wasn't the kind of girl who could be easily disturbed. Her life as a Saintess made it very difficult for her to be shaken by anything. She took advantage of the gap between Zhang Sicheng's words and suddenly made her move!
It was fine if he did not make a move, but once he did, it was earth-shattering. Even Lin Zhen was shocked!
