Chapter 238: Hidden Rule Two, The Capable Work More

Seeing this scene, Wang Xiao realized that he had said something wrong. However, before he could explain, hundreds of various [Slimes] had already rushed over!

Although most of them were silver quality, it was quite shocking to see so many soldiers rushing towards him on the rectangular arena.

Seeing this scene, Wang Xiao knew that it was useless to say anything. Now, all he could do was seize the flag as soon as possible and strive to minimize Zhao Yunyan’s losses.

He apologized in his heart and the [Silver Shadow Leopard] immediately turned into a white bolt of lightning. In a flash, it passed through the group of [Slimes].

By the time Zhao Yunyan sensed that something was wrong, the flag that was originally inserted in front of him had already appeared in Wang Xiao’s hand…

“You…’

Zhao Yunyan widened his eyes and wanted to say something. The golden light that left the secret realm lit up, and the hundreds of [Slimes] he had just summoned also turned into light and scattered as he left.

The crowded arena was swept away. Wang Xiao won another match, but for some reason, he felt a little upset.

“Why don’t I treat him to a meal after I get out?”

Wang Xiao thought about it and casually opened the interface to check his information.

After Xu Junrou and Zhao Yunyan’s two consecutive battles, he only had less than 60% of his energy left. He did not know if he had the most energy left among the participants at this stage, but it was definitely not the least.

Then, Wang Xiao carefully calculated the number of people participating in the internal selection and discovered that he was only one match away from obtaining the qualifications to participate in the academy’s ranking assessment!

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao immediately relaxed a lot. Moreover, he did not have any obsession with being a “captain”, so there was no need for him to win until the end.

In his opinion, it was almost not difficult to use 60% of his energy to settle the next competitor. He naturally relaxed a lot.

As he was thinking, a golden light flashed on the other side of the arena, and the seventh opponent appeared out of thin air.

Wang Xiao took a look and realized that he did not know the other party, so he could not be bothered to be polite to the other party. He used the same trick again and easily obtained the other party’s flag.

“Thank you for letting me win!”

Wang Xiao waved his hand from afar. Then, that person disappeared in a golden light.

However, just as Wang Xiao thought that he had won seven matches and had already obtained the qualifications to participate in the academy’s ranking assessment, the other side of the arena suddenly lit up with golden light again.

“Why are there more?”

Wang Xiao was stunned when he saw this. He had clearly calculated before that if the 1,200 people were matched in pairs, the remaining number of people would be cut by half. At most, seven matches would determine the last ten people.

However, he had already won seven matches. Where did this opponent come from?

“Could it be the captain battle?”

Wang Xiao suddenly had an idea. Although he could participate in the academy’s ranking assessment if he entered the top ten, there was only one captain after all. Therefore, it seemed reasonable for the remaining ten people to continue competing.

Just as he thought this, the student on the other side had already summoned his soldiers to attack.

Seeing this, Wang Xiao could only restrain his thoughts. After all, the strength of the opponents who appeared in the later stages definitely could not be underestimated… right?

Seeing the other party’s soldiers being pressed to the ground by the [Silver Shadow Leopard] and the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf], a few black lines couldn’t help but appear on Wang Xiao’s forehead. How did such a person advance all the way to this point? Were the strengths of the Yuheng Academy all so weak?

A moment later, the dozen or so [Goblin Commanders] were defeated by the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf]. At the same time, the [Silver Shadow Leopard] flashed forward and brought back the other party’s flag with ease.

In a golden light, the eighth opponent disappeared, and then the ninth opponent appeared out of thin air.

After seeing who it was, Wang Xiao immediately widened his eyes in shock. Although he did not know this person’s name, he knew that this person was Zhao Yunyan’s classmate!

In Yuheng Academy, where strength was king, since this person was assigned to Class E, it already showed his strength level.

Such a person who was comparable to Zhao Yunyan could actually enter the stage of the captain battle. This was something Wang Xiao could not understand no matter what!

“No, something must have gone wrong!”

Wang Xiao thought to himself. After thinking for a moment, he looked at the other party. “Um… May I ask which opponent I am?”

“Fourth!”

The student opposite him replied casually. As he spoke, he had already summoned his soldiers. They were ten peak silver level three [Skeleton Archers].

Wang Xiao watched in a daze. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he vaguely felt that he had misunderstood the rules…

The 1,200 people would be matched in pairs. Every time, half of the remaining people would be eliminated until the last ten people were decided. This way, there were indeed seven rounds, but the actual competition system was not evenly distributed…

As long as someone won, they would be randomly matched to the next round. The two people matched might not have the same progress.

Therefore, when Wang Xiao won four matches, Xu Junrou only fought once. His sixth match was only Zhao Yunyan’s third match.

In other words, before the last ten people were left, this uninterrupted tag-team battle would continue.

This also explained why his opponent’s strength was inferior to the previous few matches in the eighth or even ninth match.

Suddenly, Wang Xiao recalled that Tian Gang had previously said that there were two “hidden rules” in this internal selection. One of them was the order of victory. In other words, one had to enter the top ten before the last round began.

As for the other hidden rule, before Tian Gang could say anything, Wang Xiao was called away by Huang Tingwei. From the looks of it, it should be the one he had just thought of—the capable work more.

The faster he fought, the more opponents he would be matched with.

Even if Wang Xiao won dozens or even hundreds of competitions, as long as there were more than ten remaining participants, he still had to continue fighting..

Looking at his opponent, who was so nervous that his face was covered in cold sweat, Wang Xiao suddenly felt a little broken.

He did not know how many participants were left, but according to the speed at which he won a match in more than ten seconds, he was going to offend the entire school!

“Sigh… I’ll take it one step at a time!”

Wang Xiao was depressed and decided to give up. He raised his right hand and waved it gently. The [Silver Shadow Leopard] immediately turned into a stream of light and rushed out!

Yuheng Academy, in the academy head’s office.

Huang Tingwei was holding a report that was filled with all kinds of unknown data. However, he could clearly understand it. From time to time, he would frown and think for a moment, as if he had encountered a difficult problem.

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door and a staff member hurriedly walked in.

Huang Tingwei looked at the report without raising his head. “Didn’t I say not to disturb me if there’s nothing else?”

“Academy Head, something big has happened!”

The staff member looked anxious.. “Come and take a look! Wang Xiao has already gone crazy from killing! “
