Chapter 116: Arena
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“The venue of the actual combat test in the afternoon is the arena!” Mu Zhongtian said to the students with deep meaning in his eyes.
Hearing these words, many of them heaved a sigh of relief.
What did the arena mean? When confronted face to face, they would be fighting based on their true battle strength, it was completely unlike the maze previously, which had so many uncertainties.
In other words, fighting in the arena meant that whoever was stronger would get better results. They and their opponents would rely less on their luck and intellect.
“The specific rules of the test are as follows. Due to Dorm 333’s outstanding performance during the mid-term test previously, they will be the defending champion for this test. The other teams would draw lots to enter the arena. There would be nine matches in total — this means that the students of Dorm 333 would have to undergo nine battles. After every battle, the simulator would restore their strength and restart all over again. We will assess all of you based on your performance in the battle. Of course, the team that can defeat Dorm 333 would have higher scores.”
The moment these rules were announced, the relaxed look on Lan Xuanyu and his teammates’ faces turned into shock; Qian Lei even almost cried.
‘What’s going on? How did we become a target for everyone all of a sudden?’
During lunch just now, he was still on the high ropes because no matter what, they would not be eliminated!
But the test this afternoon was simply too unfair eh. They had to fight nine battles?
They had tried before and even though the simulator would restore their Soul Power, it wouldn’t restore their Spiritual Power completely! They wouldn’t be able to last for nine battles long! Also, with each team coming up one by one, this meant that their strength would be revealed before everyone and would no longer be a secret.
During these three months, the three of them had been so discreet in order to hide and wait for the crucial moment such as the next semester’s test to perform, right?
“Teacher, can we give up? Anyway, we’re safe already,” Qian Lei blurted.
Mu Zhongtian’s face darkened. “This is your chance to prove yourself. I believe the other teams would love to have a chance like this to display their talents. The initial rule stated that your team wouldn’t be eliminated this semester but if you guys lose more than half of the nine battles later, then we will take away all of your plus signs in the next semester and deduct all your scores by 30% too.”
“Ah?” Qian Lei was dumbstruck. This seemed like the academy was picking on them!
Actually, the test wasn’t supposed to be like that. Blame Lan Xuanyu for this. His Spiritual Power suddenly broke through 200 points and made the teachers of the Junior Elite Class extremely excited. They all wanted to see just how well this Dorm 333 could perform now.
After requesting the approval from the academy, they were allowed to hold such a different end of term test.
But he wasn’t wrong; for example, Lu Qianxun was now looking at them with jealousy. If it was him, he would be more than willing to be the defending champion. It was an honor! Being able to be the defending champion, it meant that everyone recognized him as the strongest one. It would also be his chance to display himself to the teachers; the better he performs, the more support he would receive from the academy in the future. The academy’s resources were the most precious and many cannot be bought with money.
Liu Feng nudged Qian Lei with a burning passion to fight in his eyes. To them, this was undoubtedly a test. Since the school wants to test them, do it, then.
Lan Xuanyu was quite calm though, he was in a good mood today. His Spiritual Power had broken through 200 points and he was sure that the Spiritual Power test helped him to breakthrough. Entering the middle phase of the Spirit Connection realm, even he himself felt his own level of consciousness improve.
After training for a few months, he had also improved quite a bit. His Soul Power may be increasing slowly but his physical quality and overall strength did improve a lot. The actual combat test would be a good test too. The coordination between him, Liu Feng and Qian Lei had gotten better as well. Compared to the midterms, he could consider that they had undergone a qualitative change.
“Alright, draw the lots later. Please enter the simulator.”
The actual combat test was naturally still taken place in the simulator to prevent unnecessary injuries, it also allowed students to display their true strength.
Lan Xuanyu, Qian Lei and Liu Feng entered the simulator to get into the arena.
The arena was a circle and was about 30 meters in diameter — it was quite spacious. They were only at their first or second Soul Ring and it was enough space for them to put it to full use.
“Do I summon or not?” Qian Lei looked at Lan Xuanyu and asked.
Lan Xuanyu then said, “With your current Spiritual Power and according to this tag match and under the condition that you’re able to recover your Soul Power outside, how many times can you summon?”
“It depends on the strength of who I summoned — it would be different. If it was Dong Qianqiu, I should be able to summon her five times, but that lady’s temper isn’t very good huh! Would she be willing to come so many times?” Qian Lei replied.
‘This is a problem…’
As they had summoned her a few times before, everyone was considered quite familiar with one another, and they knew that Dong Qianqiu was a student from Heaven Dou planet. She was a year older than them and was also Nana’s student.
But this lady has quite a cold temperament. In the past, when they summoned her for a few more times, she didn’t appear. For example, during the midterms previously, she didn’t appear at all.
If they summoned her five times continuously for this test, would she come each time? This was hard to say!
“What if you switch to another hand to summon?” Lan Xuanyu asked.
Qian Lei’s eyes lit up. “I should be able to do it thrice which means that we must guarantee a win for at least three matches. Also, we should be able to summon Dong Qianqiu once so that our four matches would be secured. I just hope that we’ll get Lu Qianxun’s team for the first few matches; let’s get rid of the strongest team first so the last few matches would have to depend on both of you.”
Lan Xuanyu not only had the Blue Silver Grass on his left hand; when he used the Blue Silver Grass on his right hand to enhance the Gate of Summoning, the situation would be different. It was called the Hand Switching Summoning.
“Let’s just roll with the punches!” Liu Feng’s eyes were brimming with an intense desire to fight.
Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes and nodded, “Let’s do this — for the first three to four matches, we’ll rely more on Qian Lei’s summoning and the two of us will try to conserve some energy. After that, we will work hard while Qian Lei rests and summons again during the last few matches.”
“Alright, it’s set then.” Qian Lei waved his arm with great force. He would use his energy first, then recover. It was the best choice for him to display his Gate of Summoning first.
Right at that moment, from across them at the other side of the arena, three rays of light appeared gradually.
“They’re here!” Liu Feng stepped forward in front of Lan Xuanyu while Qian Lei quickly moved behind Lan Xuanyu, with the three of them forming a straight line.
Qian Lei’s eyes flickered and a yellow Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet as that coin of summoning immediately appeared in his palm.
“Come out, my Gate of Summoning!” Qian Lei bellowed and tossed out the coin of summoning in his hand.
The Soul Ring beneath his feet rose along with the coin of summoning and became one with it. Two beams of light fell from the sky and became a huge door.
Lan Xuanyu pondered for a while, the Blue Silver Grass covered both his arms at the same time and he grabbed the door frame with his right hand, which had the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass.
Qian Lei got closer, he could clearly feel the difference when Lan Xuanyu’s right hand grabbed the Gate of Summoning.
The Gate of Summoning shook slightly, and in Qian Lei’s mind, it was as if this gate let out a soft dragon’s roar as if it was calling out afar.
