As the first round of preliminaries ended, the staff and medical teams quickly went to the stage to clean up the mess.
Those who were more seriously injured were carried out on stretchers for treatment.
The ones carrying the stretchers were the Adorkable Grass, a pet commonly used in Class Three Grade A hospitals.
The Adorkable Grass was a pet of the plant family with a third-rank bloodline. Its combat abilities were average, but it had useful healing skills, such as paralysis, hemostasis, and elementary healing. Because of its gentle nature, the Adorkable Grass was removed from the Federation's Illustrated Handbook of Battle Pets and listed as a pet of the lifestyle category.
The so-called pets of the lifestyle category were those that could be found everywhere on the streets and alleys. They were not equipped with combat abilities, but they could be used as ornaments or for other purposes. Some pets could pave the way for people, some could heal, and some could be used as navigators to guide the blind.
As the Adorkable Grasses ran back and forth, the wounded soldiers in the arena were immediately moved away. Those who had obtained the entry pass were identified by the staff of the arena, and their names were recorded in the list of people who had advanced to the next round.
The names of these people, as well as their avatars, appeared on the big screen at the edge of the arena, rolling and displaying.
Su Ping took a closer look. Of the first thousand participants, only a little over thirty had made it to the next round.
The elimination rate was one in thirty.
"Are those dead Phantom Bees going to be dragged away just like that?" Su Lingyue asked as she gazed at the dead bodies of the Phantom Bees that had been killed by the participants.
Fei Yanbo smiled. "Don't worry. We lost some Phantom Bees but they will be replenished soon. This kind of pet can reproduce quickly. I think all the branch venues are well-prepared."
Su Lingyue looked at him and then at the dead bodies of the Phantom Bees that had been disposed of like garbage. She didn't say anything else.
Su Ping cast a glance at the dead bodies of the Phantom Bees that were being moved to the trucks and then looked away. His eyebrows were knitted together.
…
Soon, the list of the second round of participants came out.
"My turn."
"Me too."
Luo Fengtian and the other young man stood up next to Fei Yanbo. Luo Fengtian wore an indifferent expression. Naturally, there was an air of elegance about him. Compared to the last time he met Su Ping, Luo Fengtian was more reserved and his eyes were sharper.
He didn't care about the preliminaries at all. With his strength, he was only here to go through the motions. He was only slightly concerned about the upcoming matches.
Fei Yanbo looked at the two of them and nodded. "Don't be careless. If you can, get as many passes as you can. You will have fewer crappy opponents. That will save you some time in the upcoming matches."
"Yes."
Luo Fengtian nodded.
The other young man also nodded with a smile, looking very relaxed.
Su Ping watched them enter the arena below. When it was time to assemble, the enchantment opened and everyone walked in.
Those whose names were announced but didn't go to the arena were automatically disqualified. After all, those who didn't go into the enchantment would not be able to get a pass. Naturally, they wouldn't be able to participate in the following matches.
In the sky, another batch of Phantom Bees that had been killed flew over from the distance. Just as Fei Yanbo said, the number of Phantom Bees had been replenished.
It was still the same offensive as the previous round. As soon as it started, hundreds of contestants were defeated.
Su Ping closed his eyes to rest after a few glances. He had no interest in such boring battles.
Su Lingyue, on the other hand, kept her eyes open. She was paying close attention to what was going on, especially to Luo Fengtian and that young man. After all, those two were the ones who had come to challenge the academy. She had seen their abilities and could be considered "acquaintances."
Fifteen minutes later, the battle was over.
Over a hundred people were standing on the stage, including Luo Fengtian and the young man.
The young man was breathing heavily. Standing next to him was a gray bear of the sixth rank. The bear smashed many Phantom Bees with its paw.
Luo Fengtian's white robe was fluttering in the wind. There was no blood on him. With the sword in his hand, he had killed several Phantom Bees. Next to him was a small stone lion. The stone lion was only a pet with a fifth-rank bloodline and had yet to reach the peak of the fifth-rank.
With the help of the small stone lion, Luo Fengtian was able to handle the swarm of bees with ease. He was using the preliminaries as a warm-up for himself.
When the test was over, their identities were recorded on the device and displayed on the screen. Then, the two went back to the waiting area.
"Sir, I got six passes," the young man who was riding the bear said with a smile.
Fei Yanbo smiled at Luo Fengtian.
Luo Fengtian sat down casually. "Thirteen."
"Damn, twice as many as I did." The young man with the bear yelled. "Boss Luo, you've become even more impressive after you came back from the Mysterious Realm."
Luo Fengtian darted a glance at the young man. He didn't like the way the young man used a vulgar word like "impressive" to describe him.
Fei Yanbo smiled. He was happy. But when he saw Su Ping who was resting with his eyes closed, the smile disappeared. No matter how powerful Fei Yanbo was, he was nothing compared to Su Ping.
Then came the third round of drawing names.
This time, another student from Fei Yanbo's team was selected. Without a doubt, he passed with ease.
Among the students that Fei Yanbo had brought with him, the weakest one was at the fifth rank. They were all third-year graduates. Their battle pet warriors were all at the sixth or even the seventh rank. Passing the preliminaries was a piece of cake for them.
…
"Twenty-two."
The fifth round was over. The girl with a ponytail who looked valiant but indifferent went back to Fei Yanbo and sat down. She said a number casually.
Fei Yanbo was surprised by the girl's answer. Then, he smiled. "Good."
The other students didn't seem to mind. They just complimented her with a smile.
Luo Fengtian darted a glance at the girl but didn't say anything. He looked at the person on Fei Yanbo's right. That person was still resting with his eyes closed. Luo Fengtian thought of something and then looked away. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest as well.
The girl looked at Luo Fengtian. He didn't seem to care about her result. She raised her eyebrows.
Soon, the sixth round of drawing names began.
Not long after, the host suddenly called Su Lingyue's name. Her name and her registration number appeared on the screen as well. Double confirmation. Even if they had the same name, the host couldn't make a mistake.
Su Ping hadn't slept well the night before. He was resting when he heard Su Lingyue's name. He opened his eyes.
