"Team? What team are you talking about? "
Liu Fei frowned and said, "The team battle I'm talking about is a standard 5v5 team battle in a competition. It's not a game."
Bai Xiaowen said calmly, "It's very simple. You and I will each form a five-man team in the vicinity of Jinghai University's Combat faculty. We will fight according to the rules of the CUAA league."
Liu Fei's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean by winning or losing?"
"If I lose, I will give up on entering the school team. If I win, there will be no additional conditions, "Bai Xiaowen said with a smile.
Actually, this "no additional conditions" was a trap. If Bai Xiaowen won, Liu Fei's prestige as the "absolute main force" of the school team would definitely plummet. How would he have the face to continue with the "internal selection"?
When that happened, Bai Xiaowen's prestige would definitely increase greatly. He would be able to establish his position as the leader of the team in the shortest time possible.
If Liu Fei did not do something like "internal selection" and was willing to let everyone compete for the position of the school team's main force, Bai Xiaowen would not have been so quick to make things difficult. He would have been able to secure a spot as the main force.
However, according to the rules set by Liu Fei and the others, even if Bai Xiaowen won in the arena, he would only be able to win a spot as a substitute. Thus, Bai Xiaowen could not be blamed for not giving him face.
A Level 3 Hero. Even the top teams in the CUAA league would take the initiative to give up a spot as the main force, let alone the bottom-ranked Jinghai University team. Moreover, Bai Xiaowen had the halo of being the strongest scholar in the college entrance examination.
Liu Fei clearly realized the trap in Bai Xiaowen's words. He knew that he could not afford to lose, so he looked a little hesitant.
"Liu Fei, what are you hesitating for? Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?" Zhao Yuting stood up angrily and said, "Let's do as he says and have a team battle!"
Zhao Yuting then looked at Bai Xiaowen. "If you lose, don't enter the school team for the next four years!"
Bai Xiaowen answered calmly, "Sure."
Liu Fei had no way out. He asked, "The five-man team you mentioned must be selected from the students of Jinghai University's Combat faculty, right?"
Bai Xiaowen nodded.
A relaxed smile appeared on Liu Fei's face. "Alright, I'll fight with you … I don't need to specially select my team. It's just me, Han Xu, Xiao Mingsheng, Ding Cheng, and Yan Jun. What about you? I'm afraid we won't be able to form a five-man team. "
Chen Guowei cried out in a strange voice, "All the main forces that have been predetermined are going to fight against the ragtag army that Lao Bai put together at the last minute? Senior Liu Fei is really awesome. "
Liu Fei's fair face didn't have the slightest bit of embarrassment or shame as he said faintly, "When forming a team, we have to respect each other's wishes. Junior Bai Xiaowen, if you have the ability to recruit Xiao Mingsheng and the other three as your teammates, I won't have any objections. "
Xiao Mingsheng and the other three laughed mischievously. Of course, they wouldn't reject Liu Fei's team invitation.
Bai Xiaowen turned his head. "Who wants to team up with me and play with the seniors of the school team?"
Xiang Hui: "Count me in."
Li Shuyi: "Me too."
Chen Guowei: "Let's go together."
In an instant, there were four people in Bai Xiaowen's ragtag army.
"We're still missing one. Who wants to come?" Bai Xiaowen laughed. "Hurry up, there won't be another opportunity like this if we miss this village."
Liu Fei, Xiao Mingsheng, and the others' cold gazes swept across the lounge.
Unknowingly, this was a selection of teams. Whoever joined Bai Xiaowen's team would be blacklisted by Liu Fei and the other senior members of the school team.
The lounge was silent.
"Class Rep Wu Yuan, are you coming?" Bai Xiaowen smiled and waved his hand as if he was beckoning someone to play basketball.
Wu Yuan's face revealed an awkward expression. After a moment of hesitation, he smiled bitterly and said, "Classmate Bai Xiaowen, I know very well what I'm capable of. I won't drag you down."
These words were pretty well said and didn't offend either side.
"Is there really no one coming? Then we can only have four against five. "Bai Xiaowen turned his head and looked at Liu Fei." You don't have any objections, right? "
Liu Fei was a little angry. He sneered and said, "You're looking for death. Do you think I'll drag you down with me?"
"Okay, then …" Bai Xiaowen raised his hand.
"Wait." Suddenly, a voice sounded. A boy stood up and said, "I'll be on your team."
Everyone looked over. It was Feng Zi-ang who spoke.
Now everyone understood. Feng Zi-ang was the first to jump out and question the actions of the school team's core members.
Bai Xiaowen laughed. "Okay, it's you … Now that we have five people, let's begin? Who's going to host the competition? "
Zhao Yuting took two steps forward. "I'll do it!"
As the school team's leader, Zhao Yuting was very familiar with the CUAA competition procedures. Of course, she was qualified to be the host. The host didn't have the right to judge and didn't have the power to influence the outcome of the competition. It didn't matter who was the host.
"Okay, then Senior Zhao will host. We don't have any objections. I believe Senior Liu Fei has no objections either …" Bai Xiaowen smiled and sat back down in the audience. "Now, Senior Zhao, can you introduce the rules of the competition to us newcomers?"
Liu Fei frowned and said, "Are you kidding? You don't even know the rules? "
"I have a rough idea, but I'm not very clear." Bai Xiaowen spread out his hands. "It's the host's job to explain the rules to the players, right?"
Zhao Yuting was angry, but she suppressed it. She said coldly, "Listen carefully, I'll only say it once …"
In the CUAA competition, after two teams met, they first had to choose a "competition mode."
There were a total of six competition modes, two of which were solo matches and four of which were team battles.
First of all, SOL was an English word that meant "solo performance." By extension, it was 1v1.
The first type of solo match: Arena Defense Mode. Both teams took turns to send players to the arena for a one-on-one battle. The winner stayed in the arena to receive the next challenge from the enemy team until all five players on one side were eliminated.
Arena Defense Mode was also known as the "KOF" mode because its competition system was exactly the same as the King of Fighters competition. The only difference was that each team had five players instead of three.
This was also the mode where individual heroism was the strongest. Valiant players would perform a one-on-three, one-on-four, or even one-on-five. Situations where one person defeated the opposing team would occasionally happen.
Of course, this was extremely difficult. After all, the resting time in the Defender Mode was extremely short. After defeating a player, the opponent's next opponent would enter the arena in the time it took for them to catch their breath. The HP, Concentration, and Stamina they lost would not be fully recovered.
The second type of solo match: Conquest Mode. Similarly, both teams would send out players for a one-on-one battle. However, the winning player would also leave the arena and would not be allowed to enter the arena again. Both teams could play a maximum of five matches. The team that won three matches first would win.
Conquest Mode was the most important test of the team's formation. Because the joke of Tian Ji's horse racing had long been played out, everyone was familiar with the exchange tactic of the bottom against the top.
Next was the team battle, which was also the focus of the CUAA competition. There were a total of four types.
The first was called "True Slaughter Mode." It was similar to Counter Strike in another time and space. Both teams had a total of ten people fighting in a map. Those who died in battle could not be revived. The goal was to eliminate all five opponents.
The second was called "Crystal Destruction Mode." It was similar to LOL, DOTA, or Mobile Legends in another time and space. Those who died in battle could be revived to fight again. The goal was to destroy the opponent's crystal base.
The third was called "Resource Plunder Mode." It was similar to the battlefield in another time and space. Those who died in battle could be revived. The goal was to plunder a sufficient number of resource points.
The fourth was called "Boss Challenge Mode." Both teams would each face a boss. Those who died in battle could not be revived. However, if the team was wiped out, they could start again. The competition was to see who could defeat the boss first.
Out of the six game modes mentioned above, the team leaders of both teams would each disable the mode that was the most disadvantageous to their team before the game started. Then, they would randomly select the remaining four modes.
It had to be said that Zhao Yuting was very familiar with the rules. Her explanations were on point.
"I'm done. Are there any other questions?" Zhao Yuting asked with her eyes wide open.
"No, let's begin." Bai Xiaowen stood up and walked to the front of the podium. He faced Liu Fei directly.
Li Shuyi, Xiang Hui, Chen Guowei, and Feng Zi 'ang followed behind Bai Xiaowen.
Behind Liu Fei stood Han Xu, Xiao Mingsheng, Yan Jun, and Ding Cheng. The five of them were all wearing the same school team uniform. They formed a sharp contrast with Bai Xiaowen's motley crew.
The atmosphere gradually became serious.
Everyone else sat in the audience, including the beautiful cheerleaders. They were all excited and nervous.
"Now, let's play a coin toss. The one who guesses wrong will first disable one game mode."
Zhao Yuting stood in the middle. With a light flick of her finger, a coin flew into the air. Then, she covered it with her hands.
"I'm guessing heads," Bai Xiaowen said.
Naturally, Liu Fei was tails.
Zhao Yuting moved her hand away. It was heads. Bai Xiaowen guessed correctly. Liu Fei wanted to disable it first.
Liu Fei was not discouraged. The coin toss before the match had no effect on the outcome of the match. Moreover, he had already thought of a way to disable it.
"I request to disable the KOF mode for the solo match."
Chen Guowei chuckled. "Old Bai, did you see that? They're afraid that you'll beat them all by yourself."
Bai Xiaowen smiled. He felt that Liu Fei was quite practical. He wanted to disable the most disadvantageous mode, KOF, even at the risk of losing face and being mocked by others.
KOF mode was the mode that emphasized individual heroism the most among the six modes. It was the most beneficial for Bai Xiaowen to display his individual strength. If Bai Xiaowen was allowed to defend the ring and receive challenges from Liu Fei and the other four, he might really be able to beat them all by himself.
Zhao Yuting warned Chen Guowei. "Pay attention to the competition rules. Don't speak without reason and affect the mood of the other players!"
Chen Guowei shrugged and did not speak.
Next, it was Bai Xiaowen's turn to disable the solo match Conquest mode.
In Conquest mode, each player could only participate in one match. No matter how strong Bai Xiaowen was, he could only guarantee one victory. After that, he could not participate again. The other team's overall strength was higher than his four teammates. It would be easy for them to take three victories and win with a total score of three to one or three to two.
The crowd in the audience started to discuss in low voices. Both sides had banned one solo match mode each. Now, there were only four modes left. All of them were team matches.
It seemed that the two sides were really going to fight it out in team matches like what they had said.
Next, it was time to draw lots. One of the remaining four modes would be randomly selected.
Zhao Yuting wrote four cards and placed them on the back. On the back of the cards, there were four options: A, B, C, and D.
"It's your turn. Which option do you choose?" Zhao Yuting asked Bai Xiaowen with a straight face.
Bai Xiaowen was slightly stunned. He subconsciously glanced at Zhao Yuting's chest. "Uh … C?"
Zhao Yuting did not notice that Bai Xiaowen's gaze was strange. She turned to ask Liu Fei for his opinion. There was nothing to object to. In the end, both sides reached a consensus and chose C.
Zhao Yuting flipped open the card with C on the back.
The audience exclaimed in low voices.
On the front of the card was the bloodiest and most exciting mode of the team matches … True Slaughter mode!
There was no way to revive after death! The goal was to annihilate all five opponents!
"The competition mode has been determined. Will you choose the Awakened battle platform or the psionic training ground? "Zhao Yuting asked.
There were two main differences between the Awakened battle platform and the psionic training ground.
First, the Awakened battle platform was a 'virtual battle'. Skills and talents that consumed psionic energy points would not consume psionic energy points. The use of props would also not consume the precious usage times of props.
In the custom mode, no props would be disabled. Only in the random mode (ranking mode) would the system disable some props for the sake of fairness.
As for the psionic training ground, it was a small space formed by the spatial fragments peeled off from the spatial cracks. Fighting inside was basically a real battle. Whether it was the psionic energy points consumed by skills or the precious usage times of props, once used, they were used and could not be recovered.
Second, the virtual battle on the Awakened battle platform would not increase one's specialties or skill proficiency. However, the small space of the psionic training ground could increase one's specialties and skill proficiency.
The CUAA league was basically held in the small space of the psionic training ground. It was all real battle. Usually, the school's team training matches were held on the Awakened battle platform through the custom mode.
"For the school competition, let's go to the Awakened battle platform … If you have any objections, then it's up to you," Bai Xiaowen said. For him, whether it was a virtual battle or a real battle, there was not much difference. The virtual battle could save some psionic energy points for insight, nothing more.
However, Liu Fei expressed his disagreement. "Since it's according to the rules of the CUAA league, it can only be a real battle! Let's go to the psionic training ground. "
Actually, Liu Fei's idea was very simple. It was to restrict Bai Xiaowen from casually using powerful props to avoid any variables in the competition.
The summoner class was an expert in exploring the wilderness and the spirit world. God knew how many BOSSes Bai Xiaowen had killed. It was very likely that he had precious powerful props on hand. However, Liu Fei did not have such a good thing.
The custom matches on the Awakened battle platform did not restrict props, and the usage times of props were not consumed. Bai Xiaowen could use powerful props without any losses, but Liu Fei was at a disadvantage.
In the psionic training ground, although the usage of props was not restricted, the usage times of props were consumed! If Bai Xiaowen had powerful props, he would have to consider whether it was worth it before using them. Moreover, even if Bai Xiaowen used powerful props and won the match, Liu Fei could find an excuse to rematch.
Even if Bai Xiaowen had powerful props, how many could he have? After two matches, this arrogant freshman had nothing to rely on and naturally became obedient.
"Okay, then let's go to the psionic training ground." Bai Xiaowen agreed without hesitation.
