Bai Xiaowen shook his head and refused. What a joke. He had only participated in the pharmacology conference in passing. The CUAA league was the main topic. How could he reverse the priority?
"The master's lecture a week before the competition is a very rare opportunity. It can allow you to make great progress in the field of pharmacology …"
"If you can achieve excellent results in the pharmacology conference, your status in the pharmacology circle will be greatly improved. The benefits it will bring you will be much higher than the CUAA league …"
"If you don't attend the lecture, it's hard to guarantee that no one will gossip … If you don't get a good ranking in the pharmacology conference, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of discussion. It will be very disadvantageous for you …"
Director Zang fully used his eloquence to try to persuade Bai Xiaowen.
However, Bai Xiaowen was still firm. "Director Zang, if I really have to make a choice, I'd rather give up the qualification to participate in the pharmacology conference … The CUAA league may not have high standards, but I'm not the only one who worked hard to get to the semifinals. My teammates also worked hard. I can't let down the school and my teammates."
"This … Alright! I'll report your situation to the leaders. "Director Zang sighed and left.
"I originally thought that there wouldn't be a conflict of time. I didn't expect there to be a pre-competition training. It seems that the officials attach great importance to this pharmacology conference. If you don't participate in the training, will you be disqualified? "Li Shuyi asked.
Bai Xiaowen grunted. "I don't have time for the training, and it's meaningless to me. If I'm disqualified, then so be it. It's up to fate. "
However, the next day, Bai Xiaowen received a call from Zang Hua saying that the officials had agreed to his request not to participate in the training and that he would retain the qualification to participate.
There was no need to make a choice. Bai Xiaowen naturally had no objections. After a short two-day training with his teammates, the entire school team took the teleportation array and arrived in the capital on the morning of the competition day.
The natural environment in the capital of the psionic era was much better than in the Christian era. Perhaps it was because of the infiltration of psionic particles and the acceleration of plant growth, but the frequent sandstorms rarely appeared.
Qing University claimed to have more than two hundred years of history. However, in reality, when the psionic era had just begun, mutated species and spirit world creatures had invaded and destroyed almost all the cities. Now, all the universities were rebuilt. In terms of history, everyone was about the same.
However, Qing University and Yan University were located in the capital. Their school conditions were better than those in other base cities. Therefore, except for the Awakened Combat Department, the progress of other subjects was better than other universities.
As for the strength of the awakened combat system, it wasn't that simple. This was because the Combat Department mainly depended on the awakened students themselves. The resources provided by the school were only trial spaces, treasure exploration opportunities, and so on. Those combat instructors could not teach too much. It was not fair to say that the Combat Department of Qing University and Yan University was stronger than other schools.
Take the CUAA league as an example. It had always produced talented people in every generation. For example, if an outstanding Hero Class student appeared in a certain university, the university's domestic ranking would not be low for a few years. And after this hero class student graduated, if there was no successor to take over the banner, he might face a decline in ranking for several years.
Because Qing University and Yan University were located in the capital, the children of the major families that rose in the early days of the psionic era were admitted. Therefore, they had a stronger source of students in the combat department.
The strength of the elite students was outstanding. If there were one or two hero class leaders, their results would definitely not be bad. Therefore, no one could deny that Qing University and Yan University were veteran and strong teams in the CUAA league.
Especially last year, Qing University had Lin Haoyang and Yan University had Ou Yangheng. Their own strength was outstanding, and coupled with a group of teammates whose average level was higher … It was not surprising that they took the first and second place in the CUAA league.
The situation this year was similar. Lin Haoyang and Ouyang Heng happened to be in their fourth year. It was the time when they were the strongest before graduation. Both universities had also entered the top four. Many media outlets predicted that these two universities should continue to sweep the top two places. The only suspense was whether Ouyang Heng could defend his title.
Of course, there were also media outlets singing a different tune. Some people were optimistic about Jinghai University, the dark horse of this year. Jinghai University's record of winning all the first few rounds of the knockout round was indeed amazing. Those who put forward this view were basically the local media outlets of Jinghai Base City.
Because it was a national broadcast, many netizens were also paying attention to this game, especially the supporters of the Prince of Psychic and the Silent Philosopher. In the players' comment section of the virtual battle platform, prediction posts and challenge posts sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
"Student Lin Haoyang, today the Qing University team you lead will face the strongest dark horse of this competition, Jinghai University. Do you have confidence?"
"I noticed that you and Bai Xiaowen, the captain of Jinghai University, are both new characters introduced to the battle platform this year. Bai Xiaowen's Prince of Psychic is even above your ranking. What do you think about this?"
"Student Lin Haoyang, I want to ask about your whereabouts after graduation. At present, there is no news of you signing a new contract with any guild …"
Lin Haoyang was a tall and thin boy with fair skin. In the face of all the cameras, he just smiled indifferently. "Sorry, no comment … Please make way. The game is about to start."
The media people who surrounded Lin Haoyang were frustrated. Lin Haoyang really didn't like to talk, just like the rumors said.
Of course, there were also many media people who surrounded Bai Xiaowen and his team, hoping to dig out some explosive news. However, Bai Xiaowen's principle had always been that if people didn't offend him, he wouldn't offend them. Since the other party didn't provoke him, there was no need for him to arrogantly jump out and make a declaration of victory. It was too shallow.
This gave the reporters a headache. In the Hua Xia era of psionic abilities, everyone, including the media, had to be responsible for their own words. In the absence of conclusive information, they couldn't write nonsense. Yu Yiguang had even specially interviewed all the members of the Wannan University team to make up stories about Bai Xiaowen.
The semi-finals, which were the focus of national attention, began in a peaceful and calm atmosphere.
When the two captains walked to the front of the stage and looked at each other, Lin Haoyang's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"You … are level 6?"
"Yes." Psionic fluctuations couldn't be deceived, especially for awakened ones who specialized in mental strength. They were especially sensitive. Although Bai Xiaowen had an item that could disguise his level and strength, there was no need for that …
The surprise in Lin Haoyang's eyes disappeared, but his heart was in turmoil. In just the second semester of university, Bai Xiaowen had risen to level 6, and he was even a hero! Many awakened ones couldn't achieve this in their third year of university.
After nodding slightly, Lin Haoyang didn't say anything more.
After the guessing round, Lin Haoyang banned the Leader Challenge Mode.
"It seems that your Silence doesn't work on the boss," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile.
Lin Haoyang's banning of the Leader Challenge Mode was indeed a bit unexpected. According to Bai Xiaowen's idea, if Lin Haoyang drew the Leader Challenge Mode, he only needed to choose a boss who specialized in mental strength to be invincible. What could a boss who specialized in mental strength that couldn't use skills do?
Lin Haoyang didn't say anything. The name of the Philosopher of Silence character was really appropriate.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and didn't say anything else. After he banned the solo competition's Conquest Mode, he officially entered the drawing round.
Finally, the competition mode on the big screen froze.
"Wow —"
All the university students in the audience exclaimed in a low voice.
On the big screen, it was … Individual Competition, Defender Mode!
In the online comment section.
"The first match is so exciting!"
"This is good. It's better for both captains to be the first to fight. Let's see who is stronger."
"It makes sense. Let's see how Jinghai University chooses to fight first. Will Bai Xiaowen fight one against five?"
Under everyone's gaze, Bai Xiaowen calmly announced the first player to fight … Feng Zi 'ang.
Feng Zi 'ang obediently fulfilled his mission as cannon fodder. His mission was not to kill the opponent's first player, but to help the team seize the opportunity to respond and try to exhaust the opponent's mental strength and skill cooldown as much as possible.
Lin Haoyang seemed to be prepared for this mode. He didn't think too much and directly announced:
"The first player we send out is … Fang Ziyi."
Fang Ziyi, who was tall and slender and carried a big bow on her back, walked down the stage lightly and disappeared into the aisle.
On the big screen, the scene of Fang Ziyi and Feng Zi 'ang confronting each other quickly appeared. The first battle began!
In the away team's resting area.
"The opponent is pretty strong. They sent out their second player as the first one," Xiang Hui said.
Bai Xiaowen said softly: "This Fang Ziyi … is not simple. I just took a look at her information. You guys take a look. "After that, he shared the information with the others.
[Fang Ziyi (Elite Level 7)]
[Race: Humanoid/Human Race]
[Profession: Frost Archer]
[Attributes: Strength 31, Agility 51, Constitution 26, Mental Strength 22]
[Skill 1: Frost Shot (Profession Skill): Passive. Long-range physical attacks or skills will have an additional cold effect, reducing the opponent's movement speed by 8%. The cold effect can be stacked up to 5 times.]
[Skill 2: Fatal Arrow Rain: Throw a large number of arrows, causing multiple physical damage to all enemies in a medium range.]
[Skill 3: Spirit Walk: Enter the state of a spirit and cannot be targeted by the enemy. You will ignore all obstacles and unit collision for 3 seconds.]
[Skill 4: Rapid Shooting: Passive. Your long-range attack speed increases by 15%. Active activation of Rapid Shooting will double your long-range attack speed through any means for 7 seconds.]
"This … Why do I feel like she's almost reaching the attributes of a hero profession?" Li Shuyi frowned.
"This means that she has good equipment," Bai Xiaowen said.
"But the attributes are not the main point … The main point is that her skills are well-matched and perfectly matched with her passive skills. She has AOE, burst, and invincibility … Don't forget that these attributes information I saw are only basic skills. It doesn't include the special effects after the skills are strengthened to a higher level!"
"If she has a few more pieces of excellent gold equipment and one or two skills that increase damage or control, she will be even more difficult to deal with."
He was indeed the second vice leader of Qing University. His strength was really strong.
On the big screen, after Feng Ziang put a shield on himself, he began to rub the Punishing Strike. A ray of holy light energy shot out.
Fang Ziyi moved around the pillar and easily dodged it. She continued to draw her bow and shot out arrows with a frosty aura.
The speed of the arrows with high agility was very fast. Feng Ziang's agility was not high either. He only managed to dodge the first arrow before he was hit by the second arrow and was slowed down. This made it even more difficult for him to avoid the attack.
After a few arrows, Feng Ziang was shot like a hedgehog. In the first round, Fang Ziyi succeeded in attacking the arena and became the champion!
There was a burst of applause in the auditorium. The students of Qing University were more restrained and did not burst into cheers. For them, this kind of victory seemed to be a very common thing. Polite applause was enough.
The faces of several people in the Jinghai University team were a little dignified. It was normal for Feng Zi-ang to lose, but Fang Ziyi hadn't lost a single drop of HP. She hadn't even used a single skill, yet she had killed Feng Zi-ang … This was a bit unbearable. It was as if Jinghai University's side had one less person, so they could only fight four against five.
The host was a cute girl with glasses and was also a student of Qing University. She said with a smile, "Contestant Fang Ziyi successfully took the first blood and was in perfect condition … Next, let's see how Jinghai University will deal with it. Jinghai University, please decide the candidate for the arena … "
"I'll go," Li Shuyi said.
"I'll go." Xiang Hui stood up.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "Sit down."
"???" There was a hint of confusion in the eyes of several people.
Bai Xiaowen stood up, shook his head, and pinched his finger bones.
"Qing University has grasped our shortcomings. We don't have a long-range shooter in our team … Well, except for me. "
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "The three of you are melee fighters. It's too much of a disadvantage for you to fight against a shooter who has a passive speed reduction. No matter how you look at it, I'm the most suitable one to deal with this shooter. "
"This is a trap," Xiang Hui said.
"Yes, the purpose of the opponent is to force you to play in advance, consume your state, and then let Lin Haoyang play." Li Shuyi also reacted.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and smiled. "Yes, when I saw Fang Ziyi's information, I knew Qing University's plan. But it doesn't matter. Sometimes the gap in strength can't be made up by strategies. Didn't Sister Zheng say that she would let me win cleanly and without controversy? I haven't experienced the feeling of one against five for a long time. "
"Boss, bring the tea …" Chen Guowei, who came with the team as a substitute, bowed ninety degrees.
"Okay. It's a good opportunity for me to see … how strong you really are. "Xiang Hui sat back down.
Li Shuyi was quite relieved. He tore open a bag of potato chips. "Don't be too high-profile." She officially entered the mode of watching the show.
When Bai Xiaowen stood up, not only was the audience in the auditorium stirred, but even the audience in front of the TV and computer were shocked.
The cute girl with glasses said, "Oh my god, Jinghai University directly sent out the captain, Bai Xiaowen! It's really an unexpected decision. Let's wait and see … "
