Although Lu Ping and the others were strong, the Wuding Academy had a clear advantage in numbers. If they could organize themselves well and make use of everyone's abilities, they might be able to deal with Lu Ping and the others.
Unfortunately, they had underestimated their enemies. They had not expected that a few people could cause them so much trouble. It was too late to organize themselves. Lei Hong, who was the most convincing, had been eliminated due to an accident. Everyone was in danger now. Under the fierce attacks of Lu Ping, Su Tang, and the others, they could not escape. No one was willing to fight.
The students of the Wuding Academy continued to fall. Some people had already realized the severity of the problem, but they had no ability to organize the scattered group.
The Wuding Academy would not have any chance to turn things around. The biggest threat in the circle had been forcefully removed. How could they stand to the end?
Lu Ping and the others had already shown their strength. They were undoubtedly in a dominant position in this stone circle. Two of them had not made a move. One of them had even been carried in. There seemed to be some kind of problem. Even so, no one doubted that they would stand to the end.
In other words, besides Lu Ping and the others, there were only three people who could stand to the end. Even if the hundred or so people from the Wuding Academy were wiped out, there would not be enough spots for everyone.
Only those who could foresee this situation in advance would be able to seize the initiative and fight for the last chance. At this moment, the guide noticed a person with such foresight. He was no longer targeting the Wuding Academy. Instead, he was quietly taking care of those who would become his competitors after the Wuding Academy.
He did not have any particularly outstanding strength. He just chose to do the right thing at the right time.
There were fewer and fewer people standing, whether they were from the Wuding Academy or other lone students.
In the end, the Wuding Academy had 164 people. When only 17 people were left, they gathered together again, regretting their mistakes. They had the chance to take the ten spots, but because they had underestimated their enemies and been careless, they had lost the perfect opportunity.
Now, 17 people had nowhere to retreat or escape. What else could they do?
They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Let's fight!" Someone shouted. His eyes were filled with determination as he rushed forward without hesitation. Two seconds later, he flew back and slid a long distance on the ground. Before he could stop, he had already lost consciousness.
Lu Ping and Su Tang approached step by step, with Shujihira and Shi Ao behind them. Wen Yan didn't even participate in the battle anymore. She went to guard Morin and Siffin to chat.
One hundred and sixty-four people couldn't even deal with the enemy, let alone a dozen or so people. Even if they wanted to work together, it was already too late. Everyone's eyes were filled with despair. Looking at the person who had just charged forward but was knocked unconscious, a look of determination flashed across the faces of a few others.
"Stake it all!" Another five people shouted and rushed forward. Their appearances were extremely tragic. However, Lu Ping and Su Tang did not hold back. The five of them landed on the ground in an instant.
They continued from before. Suddenly, one of the remaining students from Wuding Academy stood up and shouted, "Wait!"
"Hm?" Lu Ping and Su Tang looked at him. They weren't in a hurry. Let's just wait!
"You've all worked hard," the person said. "Can we do the rest ourselves?"
Lu Ping and Su Tang were stunned. For a moment, they didn't understand what the other person meant.
"It's always good to save a bit of energy!" That person said.
"Yunlong, what do you mean!"
It seemed that not only were Lu Ping and Su Tang at a loss, but even the students from Wuding Academy didn't understand what the person meant. A few of them still had anger on their faces because this person's words sounded like he was surrendering and compromising. Even if they weren't strong enough, even if they were destined to be defeated, they didn't want to be so cowardly.
"There are three more people who can stay." Su Yunlong didn't explain much and just said this.
The others were stunned. From Su Yunlong's gaze, they finally understood his intention.
"Please." Su Yunlong turned around and begged Lu Ping and the others again.
"This, it doesn't matter, right?" Lu Ping said. "It's up to you."
"Thank you!" Su Yunlong thanked them, then turned around and called out to the remaining ten students from Wuding Academy and rushed out.
They no longer had an absolute advantage in numbers, but they were still a team from the same academy. They got to know each other and understood each other. Now, they even had a sense of unity. The fighting prowess released by them couldn't deal with Lu Ping and the others, who were too strong. But they posed a great threat to the other academies' stragglers.
This was Su Yunlong's intention.
He wanted to make the powerful Lu Ping and the others give in, then unite the remaining strength of the Wuding Academy and use their advantage to eliminate all the others. In other words, from this moment on, the Wuding Academy no longer had Lu Ping and the others in their eyes, and they no longer had these seven spots. Their target was the other seven. They were fighting for the remaining three spots.
"There's such a move?" The usher at the entrance was stunned. He had to admit that he didn't expect such a turnaround at all. But when he thought about it carefully, it wasn't impossible. Because Lu Ping and the others were too strong, they completely dominated the circle with their overwhelming strength. Such a negotiation was nothing more than a matter of whether Lu Ping and the others were in a good mood. In the end, Lu Ping and the others showed an indifferent attitude, and the Wuding Academy successfully got the final opportunity.
The usher looked at Su Yunlong from Wuding Academy. He didn't pay attention to this student at all, and he didn't remember what he had done before. But in the end, he stood up, grasped the opponent's mentality, and fought for this opportunity.
In any case, this was undoubtedly a tragedy for the young man who had the foresight just now. If the Wuding Academy attacked them with full force, he would undoubtedly not be able to withstand it. His strength wasn't outstanding.
Sure enough, the young man soon noticed the change in the situation. When he saw that Lu Ping and the others had stopped and allowed the Wuding Academy to attack the lone students, his face suddenly became very ugly.
"Hey hey! Do you have any manners?! You're going easy on us!! "He was so angry that he even shouted at Lu Ping and the others.
Lu Ping scratched his head and looked at Su Tang. Su Tang was also looking at him, and then the two turned to look at Shujihira and Shi Ao behind them. The two of them spread their hands, indicating that it didn't matter.
"It's always good to save some energy," Shujihira said. Although most of the people were taken care of by Lu Ping and Su Tang, he was the one who consumed the most energy.
"Then let's take a break." Lu Ping nodded, then waved at the young man who was shouting at them, "Good luck!"
"Hey hey hey, you guys are shameless. What did they give you?!" The young man was still shouting.
"Hurry up and take care of that guy!" Su Yunlong quickly ordered. He couldn't guarantee that Lu Ping and the others wouldn't change their minds. At the end of the day, the opportunity they fought for depended on the other party's mood. One second, they accepted it in a good mood, but the next second, this guy poked at their sore spot and suddenly became unhappy.
"I'll give you money!" The young man suddenly shouted.
"We have money too!" Su Yunlong didn't wait for Lu Ping and the others to respond as he hastily took over. Those from the Wuding Academy had already charged forward, pouncing on the young man like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.
"Knock him out! Shut his mouth! "Su Yunlong was so nervous that he was a bit incoherent.
"I protest …" The young man's voice immediately turned into a series of mumbles after he'd shouted the three words. Then, there was no sound at all. He'd been knocked out by the Wuding Academy.
Su Yunlong let out a long breath and nodded at Lu Ping and the others. He flashed a friendly smile and continued fighting.
"What the hell is all this nonsense?" The usher didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The famed Soul Selection Meeting in the zhili quadrant was now a farce.
But now, the farce was finally coming to an end. Lu Ping and the others were also flabbergasted by this last bit of change, but Su Yunlong had been quick enough to take advantage of the situation and quickly extinguish the hidden danger. The remaining stragglers were no match for the united Wuding students. Even though they'd formed a group, their teamwork was far from perfect.
In the end, the Wuding Academy stood at the very end and held on to three spots. Although it was inevitable that they would struggle internally, it was still a good opportunity compared to the despair they'd felt before.
"Yunlong will take one. Does anyone have any objections?" Someone asked.
"No objections." Everyone nodded. This final turning point had been fought for by Su Yunlong, and it was Su Yunlong who would lead them in the end. They didn't wish for this to happen.
"Thank you, everyone." Su Yunlong didn't decline and accepted quite frankly.
"Mm … this student …" The usher was thoughtful. There had been quite a few unexpected discoveries in today's first selection.
