No. 60 High's overwhelming advantage in numbers might seem like a good thing, but in Wang Ling's view, it was actually pushing No. 60 High into the teeth of the storm. Checks and balances were important in a large-scale competition. When the other schools saw that No. 60 High was still at full strength, they might form an alliance again in the last two days to get rid of No. 60 High first.
In fact, Wang Ling's worries soon became reality.
"Apart from us, there are eleven surviving schools out of the remaining sixty-odd people. They've already received reliable information, and have decided to send one person each to form a vanguard coalition army to encircle and annihilate us first." At noon, Lotus Sun explained the current situation to everyone through Mysterious Ocean's holographic water map.
After the schools learned that No. 60 High was still at full strength, led by the perception-type expert Nan Yixiu, they immediately formed a coalition army of eleven people in an attempt to launch an attack on No. 60 High.
It didn't necessarily have to be a one-for-one exchange; even if No. 60 High lost some members, that would still be good.
"This is the critical stage. The final score of the competition will be calculated based on accumulated points, survival points, and bonus points. In the early and middle stages of the competition, everyone will cooperate with each other to survive, so there shouldn't be a lot of points for each school. But if we can rely on our numerical advantage to hold on, our No. 60 High will gain a huge advantage in terms of survival points, and even win directly! "Lotus Sun said confidently.
Survival points were the most important factor. When the final tally of the survival battle came on the eighth day, points would be calculated based on the final number of people in each school's delegation; one person who survived would get an extra 100 points.
If No. 60 High didn't lose any members by the last day, they would be able to pull away from the other schools by a large margin … Compared with accumulating points in battle, this was the fastest way.
While Lotus Sun was discussing the battle plan, Wang Zhen, Gu Shunzhi and the others were bored to death as they stared at the sky. There was almost no suspense in this competition for No. 60 High. It was almost the last day, but No. 60 High actually hadn't lost a single person … This actually felt a little unreal.
They had come to learn how to act from Wang Ling, but their acting wasn't even real at all!
Thus, the following conversation took place in an independent mental space.
Zhenyuan hissed. "Isn't our acting too fake? It's almost over, but no one has fallen?"
Gu Shunzhi nodded and couldn't agree more with Zhenyuan's point of view. "Venerated Immortal is right; I also think it's a little fake. Why don't someone demonstrate how to make your death more natural? "
Liu Qingyi quickly came up with a plan. "This Wang Zhen is really good!"
Wang Zhen: "…"
Thus, just as Lotus Sun's side came up with a plan to deal with the enemy, Wang Zhen started to drag Liu Qingyi and the others along to jump off the cliff.
This was the plan that Gu Shunzhi and the others had discussed together.
If No. 60 High really won the championship by a large margin, it might be a little like attracting hatred … Thus, Gu Shunzhi calculated that if the four of them withdrew from the competition now, not only would they help the other schools save some face, they would also narrow the gap and help No. 60 High win the competition by a small margin!
Of course, if they were to jump too directly, it would seem like they were going easy on him, so it was crucial to act realistically.
The leap of faith was a very romantic thing, especially when a man and a woman were together. It gave off a special feeling.
…
Thus, on the evening of the seventh day, the vanguard force of the "No. 60 High Must Die" alliance, which consisted of the remaining eleven schools led by South Sea Sky High and Titan High, received new news.
The message was simple.
On No. 60 High's side, four people had been "killed."
"???" Nan Yixiu's first reaction when he heard the news was naturally a black face full of question marks. Their premeditated attack hadn't even started yet, so how could four people be dead?
"I heard that in the beginning, someone fell off the cliff while gathering spirit fruit, and the people behind him went to catch him, but in the end, they were all taken down."
"Are they alright …"
"They triggered the golden light shield, what could possibly happen to them?"
"…"
For some reason, Nan Yixiu didn't seem very happy when he heard this news; instead, he sensed a conspiracy.
He was the leader of this vanguard force, and had originally planned to launch a sneak attack on No. 60 High's camp that night, mainly because No. 60 High was currently at full strength, which was very disadvantageous to the other schools. But now that four people had died all at once, there was actually no need to organize this operation in theory.
Apart from Nan Yixiu himself, the other eleven people in No. 60 High's vanguard team had been carefully selected to represent the middle combat strength of each school, which was also very crucial right now.
No. 60 High's numbers were basically the same as those of the senior schools, so there was indeed no need to take any more risks.
But Nan Yixiu still felt that there was something fishy about this …
He had spent six days with the people from No. 60 High. No. 60 High's overall combat strength wasn't outstanding, and the school's overall combat strength was in the middle of the pack.
Student Lotus Sun was indeed very good, but in a team game, one person's excellence was useless.
At that moment, a drop of rain landed on the tip of Nan Yixiu's nose, and then exploded.
Nan Yixiu raised his head, and suddenly realized that it was actually drizzling. This kind of weather was actually extremely disadvantageous for a sneak attack.
Although they were already here, there really didn't seem to be any need for a sneak attack.
They hadn't even made a move, but four people from No. 60 High had already died.
But in the next moment, Nan Yixiu's expression changed dramatically. "Not good!"
"What's wrong?"
"We've fallen into a trap!" Nan Yixiu's eyes lit up at that moment as he realized that there was a great danger here!
Unfortunately, it was already too late. In the dense mountain forest in the distance, several beams of golden light shield had already shot up into the sky!
"It's over … it's all over …" Nan Yixiu looked at the increasing number of golden beams of light, unable to hide the despair on his face. No matter how much he had calculated, he had overlooked the important factor of the weather!
Lotus Sun, who had already awakened a sword spirit, especially in a rainy operation, and her Mysterious Sea sword would almost give her an absolute advantage! It was like fighting on her home ground; she could borrow the power of the rain to identify each person's position, and then remotely control sword qi to take them down one by one!
It might be difficult for Lotus Sun to do this on her own, but No. 60 High's camp still had six people.
In addition, Lotus Sun had used the various materials they had collected in the coalition army a few days ago, and combined them with her own pill-making machine to quickly refine elixirs that could replenish spirit qi … In this heavy rain, Lotus Sun could practically do whatever she wanted!
It could only be said that as expected of the young miss of Huaguo Water Curtain Group and the captain of No. 60 High … she could actually scheme to this extent!
