Wang Tong, Hu Yangxuan, Kyaero, Sirius, Sun Fang, and Jiang Xiuzhe were all first-year students, while the other three were fourth-year students. However, they barely made it to the qualifying round even though they were only fourth-year students. Therefore, it would be hard for them to make it to Yalden. The tests were different every year, and only Wang Tong and Hu Yangxuan were the strongest among them. Kyaero had been improving rapidly with the rest of the team, and he had been working very hard to reach the pinnacle of Level Four Fighter. However, he was still far from achieving a breakthrough, and if he was lucky, he would be able to make it to the qualifying round.
Ayrlarng had been improving by leaps and bounds in the past year, but the current results were still not satisfactory. If it were the previous Ayrlarng, they would have been eliminated without a doubt.
Of course, it was not only because of their own strength, but also because of the fact that a large number of graduated fighters were participating in the tournament.
This was a great opportunity to promote themselves, as long as they weren't going to join the military. As long as they performed well, they would be valued by the major consortiums or even the aristocratic families, and they would be able to achieve a meteoric rise in their career, and at the same time, they would be able to receive guidance on their future path of cultivation.
In other words, this was not only a stage for the cadets to showcase themselves, but also a great opportunity for the graduated fighters to "jump ship".
Of course, if the cadets performed well, especially those who were about to graduate, they would have a bright future ahead of them. If they were able to perform well in this tournament, they would be able to enter the military with great achievements. If they were to choose other professions, they would be able to save on their resumes, as long as they posted their ranking and the video of their victories.
Meanwhile, Cypus City, where Yalden was located, was like a festival. Wang Tong and the rest of the team thought they were early, but when they arrived, they saw that the young fighters from all over the world had already gathered in the city, and they could see groups of young fighters dressed in warrior's uniforms.
From the logo on the clothes, one could roughly tell where they came from. If it was a student, it was not because the school uniform looked good, but because of a sense of honor and belonging. Everyone who was qualified to come here was full of hope, and one could feel a strong fighting spirit just by looking at it.
Apart from academies, there were also students from various private martial arts arenas. There were many famous families among them. General Hu Ben belonged to the military, so he naturally could not open his own sect. However, there were masters of the same level as General Hu Ben. These people did not hold positions in the military. Not every master liked to be controlled by the military. Moreover, once they joined the military, their cultivation would be delayed by secular affairs. If they were strong enough, they could establish their own martial arts academy, which would bring them both fame and fortune, and they could be free from any restrictions.
Of course, there was also a key problem. Even if you were very strong, you might not be able to get a high position in the army. For example, General Hu Ben had worked his way up from the bottom. Nowadays, some experts were not willing to work for people who were inferior to them. This was also the reason why many experts were not willing to join the army.
Of course, since they were in Seps, they did not welcome Capth, Yalden's arch enemy.
Whenever there was a competition, the two academies would fight each other fiercely. After all, they were the only two S-Ranked academies in the Earth Confederation.
Both S-Ranked academies had a stable performance this time. Capth had a hundred and twenty candidates, while Yalden had a hundred and ten candidates. Obviously, even though the graduates had an advantage in age, it was still difficult for them to win against the elites from the S-Ranked academies.
The other A-Ranked academies would be considered the best if they could get thirty to fifty candidates. Even so, more than five thousand participants from all over the world and the nearby Space Cities had arrived at Seps. Among the five thousand participants, less than one-tenth of them would be able to stay.
At the same time, this was also a good opportunity for the students of Yalden to show off their skills, and humiliate Capth with their home advantage.
This kind of competition had become a habit in the minds of the students of both academies.
When Capth was defeated by the Ayrlarng-Bernabeu Alliance, the students of Yalden had set off a gun salute to celebrate the victory. The enmity between the two academies had lasted for hundreds of years.
However, it was precisely because of this absolute excitement that the two famous schools were able to remain standing.
Every participant who arrived at Yalden was required to report to the registration hall. The authentication method was not too complicated, as there was a huge electronic screen and dozens of authentication platforms not far away from Yalden.
The place was already crowded when Wang Tong and his team arrived. Obviously, Wang Tong's popularity from Battlecraft Combat couldn't be brought to this place, and the students of Ayrlarng-Bernabeu were insignificant compared to the crowd.
"Look, it's the students of Capth!"
"What a huge lineup."
"Yeah, the new generation's Little Witch Li Ruo-Er, Little Tiger Wang Ben, and Cisco. F * ck, even the fourth year students are here. Are they going to let the others pass?"
Normally, only the third year students of Capth would be able to compete against the other academies, while the fourth year students of Capth were all elites. Moreover, Capth's level had never dropped, and they were undoubtedly strong. Obviously, Capth was hoping to perform well in this year's METAL Tournament, hence they had sent out all of their members.
It was rare for a tournament like this to be held once every four years, not to mention that this year's METAL Tournament was known as the strongest tournament ever, and no one wanted to miss it.
The crowd immediately made way for the students of Capth, and they were led by Li Ruo-Er. Li Ruo-Er had a cold expression on her face, which was very different from her usual self. She used to practice Tactics of the Enchantress for fun, and she would always appear in a variety of styles, except for the cold one. However, the current Li Ruo-Er looked even colder than before.
It was rare for the successor of Tactics of the Enchantress to participate in a tournament like this.
Needless to say, Li Ruo-Er was the inheritor of the Five Great Tactics. Although no one had seen Li Ruo-Er fight before, she was the representative of Capth. Not only that, she was also the captain of Capth's team, and she was supported by the famous Sword of Beauty.
Who would be able to resist the smile of a beauty?
On the left of Li Ruo-Er was Wang Ben. Apparently, Wang Ben had made some progress recently, which was why he was chosen as the representative of Capth. It was said that people who had reached the second stage of Mind Opening would have a certain degree of talent enhancement. Wang Ben's growth could only be described as monstrous. Even though he had only completed his first stage of Mind Opening a year ago, he was already the new king of Capth, and even Cisco and the others had lost to him.
Anyone who faced a person with a mind as hard as steel would feel powerless. It could be described with the word "ruthless". Little Huben clearly had a big goal for this competition.
On the right of Li Ruo-Er was a young man who was taller than Wang Ben. He was a fourth year student, and judging from the four horizontal bars on his shirt, he was the No.1 of the fourth year students, Turbolis, who had brought countless glory to Capth. As a graduate this year, he was going to join the elite forces of Earth Confederation, and he was going to be promoted to an officer as soon as he joined the army.
Turbolis was not a nobody either, as he was the successor of one of the Ten Great Tactics of Earth Confederation, the Wind Cloud Kick. His purpose of participating in this tournament was to prove his own tactics.
All three of them were born into the limelight of the world. Of course, they had proven their worth with their own strength.
This generation of youngsters was different from the older generation. Not only did they inherit their family's tactics, they also wanted to join the army and participate in politics, instead of just carrying the title of 'successor'. They wanted to use this identity to step onto a bigger stage.
This was also the halo effect that they were currently practicing.
Behind them were the elites of Capth, including Cisco, Wally, Terrence, and a few others whom they were familiar with.
The eye-catching three-headed flying lion symbol of Capth looked so glorious under the sun, and every student of Capth naturally accepted the admiration of others.
Li Ruo-Er and the others were the first to verify their identities. They keyed in the information on their Skylink, placed their hands on the examination table, compared their genes, and verified their pupils. It was a quick process.
There was another commotion among the crowd as another large group of students walked towards them. The golden dragon symbol on their chests was Yalden Academy.
As the home team of Yalden Academy, the students of Yalden Academy had already verified their identities. Clearly, they were doing this on purpose.
The two groups soon met each other. They were less than three meters away from each other, but neither of them paid any attention to the other. However, the atmosphere between the two groups was quite tense.
Everyone knew that A-ranked academies and non-military academies would hardly be able to become the main force of the tournament. Although there might be some strong fighters among them, the number of S-ranked academies was still incomparable.
Most of the outstanding fighters between the age of twenty to twenty-five were either serving in the military or working in a special department. Therefore, it was unlikely that they would participate in this tournament. Therefore, it was still a stage for the students of military academies.
Among the students of military academies, those who had inherited their family's tactics would be the main characters. As for the inheritors of the Five Great Tactics, they would be the main characters of the main characters. They were the ones who stood above everyone else.
"Damn, these two guys really don't care about me." Hu Yangxuan shook his head. Actually, he could have been a member of Capth, but he chose Ayrlarng instead.
He had never regretted his decision.
"The tournament isn't about who has the most members. Look, someone else is here." Zhou Sisi smiled.
There were only four of them this time. They were all dressed in plain white outfits, and all of them had short hair. Their hairstyles were too simple, but they seemed to have attracted more attention than some of the students from the aristocratic families.
They were from the Templar.
The one with the nine-ringed saber on his back was the Ocean Wave Saber, Zhang Buyu. The tallest one was the Wind Shake Spear, Yao Yan. The Noble Sword, Ye Kai, was the most handsome and had a classical air to him. The one with the muscles all over his body was the Drill Halberd, Wu Gang. Although there were only four of them, their momentum was not inferior to the two S-rank military academies.
The Templar had always been a mysterious organization, and it was known as the origin of all tactics. Therefore, it was the first time that the Templar had sent out their inner disciples. Therefore, the crowd was very interested in these four people.
