Wang Ling had already anticipated that Titan High and Devil-Subduing High would make a move on them as they advanced. In fact, this was based on the tactical arrangements that the headmasters of the two schools had made for No. 60 High.
In theory, a cultivation school like No. 60 High, which didn't have a high overall ranking, wouldn't be targeted by Devil-Subduing High and Titan High, which were the favorites to win the championship. However, in terms of strategy, the students of the two schools ultimately listened to their headmasters' suggestions.
As an old acquaintance of No. 60 High's Headmaster Chen Tianxiang, No. 1 Devil-Subduing High's Headmaster Li Qingxi had formulated a detailed targeted strategy, which included suppressing No. 60 High in the first round of the knockout round.
Although No. 60 High was currently suffering from interference from Devil-Subduing High and Titan High, it was very clear that these two high schools had yet to form a true alliance.
This could be seen from the way they cast their spells; the students of the two high schools were practically fighting on their own without any cooperation to speak of.
In the sky, spirit power bombs and fireballs were continuously thrown at No. 60 High's water column. Mysterious Sea either opened a water shield to block them or changed their paths to deflect them.
In fact, Lotus Sun was already on guard against the focus fire from the two high schools, but she also realized that it seemed hard to rely on Mysterious Sea's strength alone to overcome the current situation.
"These people are really …"
As class monitor, she was naturally anxious. Two schools that were hot favorites to win the championship were focusing fire at the same time, which was a little like bullying!
Wang Ling was a little tempted to make a move.
The situation was actually very simple; he just needed to play a small trick and set up a rebound field.
But Fang Xing didn't give him a chance at all.
Fang Xing twisted his neck, and several glittering and translucent snake scales that were almost invisible to the naked eye instantly peeled off his body. These were magic treasures which he had inherited from Immortal She Pi. They moved abnormally fast, and he rushed to the front to resist the focus fire from the two high schools. Almost all the ball-type spells were sent flying by his snake scales.
This time, it was Zhu Hanyun of Titan High and Gao Tianming of Devil-Subduing High who were astonished.
No. 60 High was indeed more resilient than they had imagined.
The point was that they didn't understand how the spells had been sent flying at all.
Mysterious Sea's strength alone shouldn't have been enough to support the focus fire from the two schools!
…
At that moment, in an eggshell-shaped building not far from the Nine Dragon Pagoda, the headmasters of the various schools and the people in charge of this event had all gathered.
This was a temporary activity command center.
The chief commander this time was President Qi, one of the Ten Generals.
The deputy commander was President Qi's shifu and the current Chief Protector of Nine Dragon Mountain's heavenly vein, Huang Feng.
Although Old Huang was not one of the Ten Generals, everyone was well aware of his identity.
How could the master of the Ten Generals be an ordinary person?
Moreover, Elder Huang had also been sent to oversee the competition. This seemed to confirm the rumors that had been spreading recently — that someone was trying to make a move against the Heavenly Veins Main Valve in the national competition.
Although this matter has not yet been confirmed.
However, Old Huang's appearance was enough to explain the problem.
After Fang Xing made his move, most of the headmasters saw through Snake Scale's trick.
Most of the principals present were Itinerant Immortals, so it was impossible that they didn't even have this little bit of insight.
"What's the background of this male student?" Huang Feng stared at the screen curiously.
"Teacher, this is the child left behind by Snakeskin back then," President Qi whispered in his ear.
"So, it's him." Realization dawned on Old Huang.
Huang Feng had naturally heard about Fang Xing.
Back then, Immortal She Pi had given birth to a child before he was executed, and this child was Fang Xing.
This incident had caused a huge uproar back then, and many people had thought that Fang Xing should be dealt with as well. In the end, however, Fang Xing had still been spared.
In the blink of an eye, however, Huang Feng had never expected Fang Xing to be so big, which made him a little sad.
But a lot of people actually didn't know the truth behind Immortal She Pi's incident back then. President Qi had expected Fang Xing, his biological son, to appear here and be the subject of much discussion.
Sure enough, after President Qi and Huang Feng explained his identity, there were a lot of objections from the headmasters behind them.
"Immortal She Pi's child? Why can he participate in the competition? How did he pass the audit? "
"That Immortal She Pi is the old devil's disciple! He was a great villain back then! "
"Silence."
President Qi cleared his throat.
After a moment, Old Huang said slowly, "Don't mention this again. Since Student Fang is allowed to participate, it's enough to prove that he has already passed all the audits. As far as I know, Student Fang has been strictly supervised by Huaxiu Alliance since he was a child. Are all of you trying to slap Huaxiu Alliance in the face by questioning him here? "
The command center instantly fell deathly silent.
At this point, the headmasters behind them knew that they had misspoken, and they obediently shut their mouths and didn't say another word.
…
On the other side, seeing that No. 60 High was about to reach the top, the Devil-Subduing School and Titan High School students finally gave up on relentlessly attacking them, and just spoke in puzzled voices.
"Strange, why do I feel like there's an extra force fighting us?" Gao Tianming muttered as he gazed down. He felt that there was something strange there, but he couldn't put his finger on what it was.
"As expected, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in No. 60 High's team. It's not just Lotus Sun; the others are also tricky to deal with. " At that moment, a young man from Devil-Subduing School stepped forward and said, "It's just that we don't know who else is stronger."
He calmly analyzed the situation. "There are four transfer students in No. 60 High's team this time. They don't have any background, but there might be hidden experts among them. As for the others … That muscleman is a sports specialist, and his family runs a body techniques dojo. He has experience in competitions, but it seems that he's never won the championship. People call him the eternal second.
"There's also that fatty called Hero Guo, his family runs a pet shop. It's said that there's a parrot that's very tricky, but I haven't seen where it is yet. But I think it can be summoned with the psychic spell. "
"What about the others?"
"I don't really know that Xia Ming. There was a rumor about him and Lotus Sun a while ago. And that Li Youyue with her ponytail, her family runs a restaurant. The class monitor of No. 60 High's elite class, Class Two. Fang Xing is also in Class Two. He transferred to No. 60 High midway through Senior Grade One, and his family runs a noodle shop. "
After going through everyone in No. 60 High's team, No. 1 Devil-Subduing School felt that there were all kinds of strange things in No. 60 High's team, and there didn't seem to be any particularly strong experts.
If they really had to suspect someone, they would have to pick one of the four transfer students.
After a round of analysis, Gao Tianming took a deep breath and finally turned his gaze to Wang Ling. "Then what about this dead fish eye …"
"Oh, I've seen him before. I kind of have an impression of him. " The young man replied, "No. 60 High brings him to all competitions. I heard that he's No. 60 High's mascot, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
"I see." Gao Tianming nodded and gradually relaxed.
