In a situation where individual strength was about the same, the strength of a group would definitely be higher. Hence, the new student group of the Central Province Academy was like a hot knife cutting through butter.
Xuanyuan Po and Zhang Yaozong brandished their fists. Their fists were like steel as they heavily bombarded the bodies of the students in front of them.
One punch after another. The weaker ones were directly knocked to the ground, while the stronger ones grimaced in pain and subconsciously retreated to the side.
"Hit the vitals!"
Zhang Yaozong glanced at Xuanyuan Po, feeling somewhat speechless. Xuanyuan Po's sturdy physique was truly a waste.
When Xuanyuan Po fought, it was purely a brawl. He relied on brute force and didn't use any underhanded tricks. His attacks were vicious, meaning that he didn't hold back, but he wouldn't attack the vitals of the students.
On the other hand, Zhang Yaozong was different. He alternated between his fists and palms. If he wasn't chopping at the neck, he would be hammering at the heart and sealing the eye sockets. His attacks were vicious and ferocious.
Two-thirds of the students who were beaten up by Zhang Yaozong were lying on the ground, gasping for breath and wailing in pain.
Xuanyuan Po tilted his head and glanced at Zhang Yaozong. The corners of his mouth twitched as he ignored Zhang Yaozong. He did not like this kind of method.
"Zhang Yaozong, be careful!"
Li Ziqi frowned slightly.
"Don't worry, the rules haven't been announced yet. If the judges find trouble with me, I can use the excuse that I don't know!"
Zhang Yaozong was very calm. He had already analyzed all sorts of situations.
Besides, he wasn't the only one who was so ruthless.
There were 108 elite schools, and each New Cadet Regiment had 20 people. That was a total of 2160 people. Right now, they were all squeezed together in a messy manner, all surging towards Area A1.
If one were to look down from the sky, they would be able to see over 30 new student groups choosing the same battle strategy as the Central Province Academy, charging forward as a group.
Among them, there were also quite a few people who played dirty tricks.
"Oh, my hand is broken!"
"Get out of the way, don't step on me!"
"Teacher, it hurts!"
Many of the injured students broke down.
"This is the D Grade League?"
Sun Mo was stunned.
Chaos, crowding, and the ringing countdown were like the death knell, causing every student to be extremely nervous. Every face was filled with all kinds of frightened expressions.
Only a few people were able to maintain their composure.
"Yeah!"
Fan Yao chuckled. He was already used to it.
Cultivation was a matter of seizing the essence of heaven and earth. It was to defy the heavens and change one's fate. On this path, there were very few people who could walk to the end!
Without great perseverance, without great enlightenment, how could one succeed?
The content of the Saint Gate League Tournament would be different every year. However, there was always a single concept, and that was to temper the willpower of the students and make their nerves as tough as steel.
"What's this little bit of suffering? If you don't learn from your mistakes now, you might die in the future when you go to the wilderness for training. "
Song Ren didn't observe the students but was sizing up the teachers in the waiting area. It was very likely that they would meet!
Sun Mo frowned slightly and observed the other teachers. He discovered that they were all very calm and were judging the strength of each student in their school. They were also searching for targets that were worth paying attention to from other schools.
"The new student group from the Central Province Academy is a little impressive today!"
"Yes, the two boys at the front are not simple!"
"Let's wait until the end of the three rounds. Who knows, we might fail just like last year!"
The teachers of each team were discussing. After all, the student groups that performed well would be noticed.
Hu!
A fist suddenly hammered towards Xuanyuan Po's head.
Bang!
Xuanyuan Po blocked it and inclined his head to take a look. It was a 2-meter-tall guy. The guy was even taller than him and more muscular.
"Eh?"
The other party clearly didn't expect that Xuanyuan Po would be able to receive this punch and was a little surprised. However, he knew that this wasn't the time to fight. Hence, he immediately left Xuanyuan Po behind and continued to advance.
"Don't go!"
Xuanyuan Po was excited to see his prey and wanted to fight.
"Xuanyuan Po, continue to open up the path!"
Li Ziqi roared.
"Are you crazy?"
Zhang Yaozong was speechless. He grabbed Xuanyuan Po's clothes. "There's almost no time left!"
"F * ck!"
Xuanyuan Po cursed. He channeled force into his arms and unleashed his full power. Hence, the students were sent flying one after another like broken gunny sacks.
In the end, when the students in the surroundings saw Xuanyuan Po rushing over, they directly made way.
The new student group of the Central Province Academy spent 42 seconds to enter the No. 1 zone. However, there were people who were even faster.
"It's the new student groups from Mingshao and Haizhou!"
Zhang Yaozong was very unhappy that his group wasn't the first to arrive.
Although these students were freshmen, their gazes were cold and filled with confidence.
3!
2!
1!
Close the door!
At this moment, there were still over 200 students outside. In addition to those who were injured, there were over 300 students.
As the countdown ended, the judge gave the order to close the door. The large and heavy metal door of the No. 1 zone started to close slowly.
At this moment, the students were like hornets that had poked a hornet's nest. They rushed toward the door in a frenzy.
Their faces were filled with nervousness and anxiety. Although the judge didn't say that they would be eliminated if they couldn't enter the No. 1 zone, none of the students dared to gamble!
Through the gap of the door, the students who had already entered the No. 1 zone could see the chaotic battle outside.
"Those at the back, pay attention. You guys definitely won't have a chance to enter. Why don't you disturb others and reduce the number of members of the other party?"
A voice suddenly rang out.
Swoosh!
The gazes of the students directly turned over. Even the judge standing on the rostrum felt a little surprised.
"Good morning, my name is Zhang Yaozong!"
Tantai Yutang waved his hand and greeted.
"Oi!"
Zhang Yaozong felt depressed. "Do you have to be so lawless? Also, do you know that this is increasing the difficulty for the group? "
"Ruthless enough!"
Li Ziqi had thought of doing this before, but after some consideration, she decided to give up on it. It was because she was worried that by doing this, her group would be targeted and become the target of public criticism.
"He's a treacherous person. Be careful!"
Nangong Dao reminded his group members.
Such conversations were happening among the various groups.
In truth, the moment Tantai Yutang said this, it was the best result for the groups that had already entered the No. 1 zone.
Pak!
A student had just rushed through the door, but before his feet landed on the ground, his hair was grabbed by the person behind him. He was pulled to the ground and then dragged out.
Bang!
The door closed.
Everyone in the No. 1 zone looked toward Tantai Yutang. Because of a single sentence from Xuanyuan Po, none of the remaining students had entered.
One could say that Tantai Yutang had killed over 200 people by himself.
"Cough cough, don't look at me like this. I'm very cowardly!"
Tantai Yutang coughed.
"Tantai Yutang, in the future, without my orders, you are not allowed to speak recklessly!"
Zhang Yaozong warned.
"Alright, group leader!"
Tantai Yutang's tone was respectful and he had a smile on his face. However, Li Ziqi knew that this sickly invalid didn't treat him with any importance at all.
In the No. 1 zone, sunlight shone in through the huge skylight. It was extremely bright.
A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties walked up the rostrum with a majestic gait. The moment he spoke, his voice was like thunder.
"I'm Tong Yiming, the main judge of this round. Now, I'll announce the contents and rules of the first round."
Tong Yiming swept his gaze over the crowd.
"I'll only say it once. Listen carefully, no questions are allowed, no interruptions are allowed, and no whispers are allowed. Once discovered, your qualifications to participate in the competition will be revoked."
Tong Yiming's strict tone and cruel content instantly caused the atmosphere in the No. 1 zone to become even tenser. Every student stared at Tong Yiming and pricked up their ears.
"The first round of the league tournament is known as the Death Race Competition. All the new student groups have to reach the Honglu Continent within five days!
"The earlier you arrive, the higher your ranking will be. If you exceed seven days, your ranking won't be recorded and you'll be directly eliminated.
"The final ranking of the new student groups will be determined through three criteria. First, the order in which they arrive at the Honglu Continent. Second, if the entire group loses two members, their ranking will be pushed back once. If they lose six members, their ranking will be canceled and they'll be directly eliminated.
"Third, if you guys choose to bring a teacher along, your ranking will be pushed back by one rank. If you don't choose, your ranking will remain unchanged.
"However, if you guys encounter trouble you can't resolve along the way and need the help of a teacher, your ranking will be pushed back by three ranks.
"Also, in the Death Race Competition, every time a teacher helps you solve a problem, your ranking will be pushed back once. There's a total of three chances. After using them, you are not allowed to seek help from a teacher again. If not, you'll be directly eliminated!"
Tong Yiming spoke at a normal speed, but there were too many rules and it was too troublesome. This caused many students to be confused.
Lu Zhiruo leaned forward and tried her best to remember, but she still forgot many things. This caused her to be so anxious that she broke out in cold sweat.
There was a large curtain on the rostrum. Tong Yiming suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled it down.
Huala!
Under the curtain, there was a huge blackboard with a map hanging on it.
Pak!
Tong Yiming took the pointer and tapped it on a small hill in the center of the lake.
"This place is the Honglu Prefecture. Because a large number of Honglu Birds reside here, it got its name. All of you better remember, this place is the endpoint."
As Tong Yiming spoke, he held the pointer and tapped it three times with force.
"Very good, I've finished speaking. Now, the group leaders of the various groups are to come up and claim the map. After that, make your preparations. We'll set off in five minutes!"
Li Ziqi actually wanted to go up and claim the map, but Zhang Yaozong's speed was very fast.
"Let him go!"
Tantai Yutang had wanted to look at the map on the rostrum, but who knew that the staff would directly cover it with a curtain.
"Mn?"
The sickly invalid frowned. Did they have to be in such a hurry? After that, he took out a small notebook and started to write and draw on it.
"Judge, what about the students outside?"
One of the group leaders couldn't hold it in and asked. After all, there were three students who didn't enter. If this was considered an elimination, it would mean that they would be pushed back by one rank before the competition even started.
"I've already said that you are not allowed to ask questions. You will be disqualified!"
Tong Yiming's voice was like a cold current that came from the frozen land of the north, directly causing the atmosphere to freeze. Those students who were still discussing subconsciously shut their mouths.
"Cut... cut...!"
That group leader had a look of panic on his face. He wanted to plead for leniency, but when he saw Tong Yiming's stern gaze, he couldn't say anything.
"Luckily, Ziqi's command was very timely. Otherwise, all of us wouldn't be able to arrive here."
Li Fen felt a lingering fear. If it wasn't for Li Ziqi's command, there was a high chance that she wouldn't be able to make it here.
Lu Zhiruo nodded furiously.
"Let's not talk about this. The most important question now is whether we should bring our teacher along or not."
Li Ziqi frowned. She took out her pocket watch and glanced at it. There were only four minutes left for the discussion.
