The ensuing battle was a bit too high-end, and many viewers were sometimes confused and did not quite understand the operations of these talented arcanists.
But fortunately, there are professional hosts. They can always analyze the intentions and ideas of most talented arcanists in a clear and logical manner and explain them to the audience, or at least they can say it in a way that they think is reasonable.
Lando, who returned to the rest area, understood the meaning of this arena match after a moment's thought. He praised it secretly in his heart and stopped paying attention. He closed his eyes and rested.
As time went by, as each arena was locked, the atmosphere in the arena became more and more anxious. Each strong person was kicked out of the arena after running out of challenges, and regretfully ended his journey to compete for seats. This made the remaining people
Getting more and more nervous.
…………
"... Then we congratulate the champion of the tenth ring for his successful defense. He is... Mr. Simon from Gastro Academy!!!"
As the host finished speaking, Simon, who was still on the stage, was in a daze for a moment, and the sound in his ears suddenly became silent.
The host was saying something passionately; the audience stood up and cheered; the junior students in the college rest area were shouting loudly; Lando and Stellan nodded to themselves with smiles; Dean Steele and the two accompanying teachers
They all looked at themselves with admiration.
In this way, I have indeed succeeded, and it was not an auditory hallucination just now?!
So, all the hard work and layers of calculations have finally paid off?!
So, can I...
Simon shook his head, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that he had sat down on the ring at some point. At this time, he wished he could fall asleep immediately, but the remaining reserve in his heart still allowed him to hold on to his tired body.
He endured the stinging pain in his brain and walked slowly towards the rest area of his college.
The moment Simon entered the rest area of Gastro Academy, Lando and Stellan fended off the incompetent juniors and girls, holding Simon to the left and right to prevent him from falling to the ground.
.
Stellan smiled and said: "Congratulations, senior, I finally got what I wanted."
Lando also smiled and said: "Yes, Senior Simon, congratulations."
Simon nodded with a smile. He was really happy that his hard work had paid off. "My limit is here. If nothing happens, I can only get ten seats. Unlike you two, you won easily today without showing any strength."
.”
Stellan shook his head and said: "I just kept one or two more trump cards, not as easy and bottomless as Lando."
Lando shrugged helplessly at the two men's teasing.
Dean Steele stepped forward with a smile and said: "Well, everyone performed well this time. We will have a day off tomorrow. The day after tomorrow will be the last battle for a more intense school seat. You should seize the time to adjust your state and put it aside.
Keep an equal mind and try not to leave any regrets!"
"yes!"
In the evening, Lando naturally stayed in the hotel near the Secret Arena with Stellan and the others.
Early the next morning, Lando was taken to play by his energetic friends. He thought that he had been in seclusion since he came to Sandra, and it was indeed time for him to have a good time, so he did not refuse.
As of now, Stellan and Simon have not come. The impact of yesterday's high-intensity battle has not been fully recovered. There will be an even more intense battle waiting for them tomorrow. Therefore, the two decided to seize the time to recover.
Everyone is also very supportive.
how to say?
Purse City was indeed interesting, and there were many novel things that Lando had never seen before, but he didn't think it would be more attractive to him than studying arcane magic in the laboratory.
However, seeing that everyone was in high spirits, he didn't do anything to dampen the mood. It seemed good to relax occasionally and change his mood.
The day went by very quickly. I didn’t encounter any provocations from the rich and powerful, nor did I encounter bullies raping women in the street. I also didn’t encounter old ladies forcefully touching each other. I even met many fans asking for autographs and photos. All in all, it was a peaceful and happy time.
one day.
Dinner was served at the hotel. Stellan and Simon also came out together. Stellan's face was as normal and he had obviously returned to his peak condition. Senior Simon still looked a little weak and he probably wouldn't be able to give 100% of his performance tomorrow.
status.
Faced with everyone's concern, Saimen's mentality was very calm, and he even comforted them.
…………
The battle for school seats is the last one, and the ranking battle is coming as scheduled.
After Lando entered the rest area of his college, he looked around and felt that there were more spectators than in the previous game.
The rules of today's game are also very simple. Ten people play against each other in pairs. A win will get one point and a loss will get no points. The one with the highest total score will be today's number one - the leader of the school!
"Wow! If 10 people play against each other in pairs, don't they have to play 45 games?!"
"Of course, only in this way can we fully demonstrate the strongest strength of our new generation school!"
"But there are 45 games, so it's normal for the games to last two or three days, right? Not to mention how this intensity affects the players, many viewers can't stand it!"
"Well, that's the theory, but in reality it won't take that long."
"Oh? What should I say?"
"After all, the strongest will have its own strong opponent. If they are truly evenly matched, there won't be too many battles that require a long time. Therefore, in previous academy exchanges, the third competition has rarely lasted until the next day. In most cases
It will be over within the next day.”
"Oh! That's it, that's it! Hey, by the way, since it's a battle between ten people, one point for a win and no points for a defeat, what if there's a tie? A playoff?"
"No, there is no extra round in the competition for school seats. If there is a tie between multiple people, there will be judges who will give a comprehensive evaluation based on the individual's performance during this period and during the school period. The seat with the higher evaluation will be higher!
"
"Ah, that's it!"
"Of course, after all, we are all arcanists. There are always things we are good at and things we are not good at. We can't all rely on combat, right?"
"That's true, but...well, I mean if the judges...you know what I mean?!"
"Hey, you want to say what if the judges give unfair evaluations?"
"Hey, hey, I didn't say that. All the viewers present can testify for me!"
"Hey, don't worry, there is a distinguished great arcanist among the judges, so I believe that no one will doubt the authority of the comprehensive evaluation given by the judges!"
"Wow, there's actually a Grand Arcanist here in person! That's really awesome!"
"..."
The host sang and explained the competition procedures and rules on the stage. They naturally knew these well. This conversation was just for the audience who did not know the specific rules, and this kind of cross talk-like explanation method would not be used.
Offensive to viewers who know the rules.
As time continued to pass, the host's enthusiasm continued, and the audience's enthusiasm was gradually aroused. The much-anticipated third ranking battle for seats in the school kicked off with the loud shouts of the host.
The first game was naturally Chenglong's, and his opponent was...well, an unknown student, not one of the ten seats left over from the previous year, but a newcomer.
It can be seen from his eager eyes that he is not very afraid of Chenglong, the previous leader of the school. Instead, he wants to show his own style through this battle and become a new legend!
In fact, as long as his performance in the battle with Chenglong is not too bad, his goal will definitely be achieved.
As the host shouted that the competition was about to begin, his mind instantly reached its highest point. He had no intention of waiting for the opponent to make the first move. After all, his opponent was the legendary leader of the school. Even if he had more confidence in himself, he still knew this.
There are still some.
The smooth battle plan and the possible follow-up actions to deal with Chenglong are passed through my mind, so the first move is...
"..."
?!
Why can't I raise my hand?!
Why can't I move my legs?!
Why does the body start to tremble inexplicably?!
Facing Chenglong's calm gaze, he felt that the other person was getting higher and higher in his sight, getting bigger and bigger, until it covered the sky and the sun!
The thoughts, courage, ambition, and desires are stripped away bit by bit!
How can a tiny ant dare to raise its head and look directly at the giant dragon in the sky?!
I don't know when he lowered his head, and even the courage to look at the dragon was quietly lost.
It's as if the soul has been put on an invisible shackles, trapped in a small dark box, unable to struggle, and has forgotten to struggle. It can only huddle in the corner and tremble.
"I...I admit...lose..."
After saying these words, he felt relieved, and the invisible shackles that were getting tighter suddenly stopped, and began to slowly relax and disappear.
At this moment, he even felt a sense of gratitude towards his opponent, Chenglong in front of him.
Are you grateful to the other party for not killing him?
Are you grateful to the other person for letting you go?
He didn't know and couldn't tell.
The audience was in a state of shock.
"What happened? Why did he just give up?"
"I don't know. Could it be that I was forced by Chenglong's momentum?"
"What's not impressive? Have you read too many novels?"
"Then what do you think the situation is? It can't be a fake match!"
"Isn't that true? I think it must be some kind of secret arcane magic. The opponent who Cheng Long was caught in it from the beginning!"
"Hey! This seems to make sense, but I don't know what kind of arcane magic it is. Is it spiritual?"
"It's possible, haven't you noticed that during the ring battle, whenever someone tried to challenge Chenglong, he would give up and leave voluntarily when approaching his ring? It must be some kind of spiritual arcana, maybe it's still
The big one!”
"Tsk, tsk, so awesome, you deserve to be the leader of the school, Chenglong YYDS!"
"Chenglong! I love you! I want to give birth to a monkey for you!"
"..."
Everyone was talking about anything on the audience stage, and many people in the rest areas of various colleges were also talking about it.
"It's here again, no matter how you look at it, it's still so amazing!"
Seeing what the senior said, the junior student Xinnen beside him asked curiously: "Senior, do you know about Chenglong's ability?"
The senior said with a sigh: "Of course, I watched it nine times during the battle for seats in the last school."
The junior student was so shocked that he stammered and asked: "Nine...nine times? Doesn't that mean?"
The senior said in a serious tone: "That's right, in the last battle for seats in the school, he never took action in Chenglong's nine battles. From the second to the last place in the school, everyone gave up in front of him, and the second place only insisted.
It lasted 1 minute and 9 seconds, and now this kid on stage can hold on for 23 seconds before giving in, which is pretty good."
Junior:???!!!
At this time, the host shouted excitedly as if he had been given blood.
"It appeared, and sure enough, it appeared again! Is it possible that no one can crack the unknown powerful arcane spell performed by Chenglong to this day?!"
"Will the battle for seats in this academic school still be a stage for him alone?"
"After nine battles, the miracle of nine people surrendering will continue today!"
"Let us shout his name together...Chenglong!"
"..."
Lando calmly looked at Chenglong on the stage, his eyes solemn.
Dean Steele came to him quietly and asked, "How are you doing? Did you see anything?"
Lando thought for a while and said solemnly: "It is indeed some kind of psychic ability, but this ability to win without fighting is probably only the most superficial application."
As a person with extremely high attainments in psychic abilities, Lando is very sure of this. However, the specific nature of Dragon Riding ability cannot be analyzed based on the current information.
"Oh?" Dean Steele smiled slightly when he heard Lando's words and was noncommittal.
Lando didn't mean to ask, he just stared quietly at the young man who was walking off the stage. Chenglong also glanced back inadvertently when he stepped off the stage. Their eyes met again and then crossed each other.
Each person's battle times are strictly divided, which is enough to ensure that everyone can have sufficient rest time after the battle.
Every time Lando fights, he doesn't have too many bells and whistles. He always lets his opponent perform before defeating him. Basically, each battle lasts about five minutes.
The battle between Stellan and Simon seems much more difficult.
For Stellan, there are not many people who are really weaker than him. It can be said that every battle is extremely difficult. Even if he exerts his best, he still loses more than he wins.
The situation is even worse for Saimen. The physical and mental strength that was originally consumed in the ring battle has not been completely recovered. His overall strength can be said to be the weakest among the ten people. As expected, he will not be able to escape from the last seat of the school.
The battle continued. After 44 battles, the points for the ten people had basically been determined. Stellan got 5 points, and there was another person with the same score. The final ranking will wait for the comprehensive evaluation of the judges. Semen
It's so simple. It's so gratifying to lock in the tenth seat of the school with a score of 0 points in advance!
Now, the only suspense left is Lando and Chenglong. They both have a perfect victory by 8 points. It is a common practice in the arena to arrange the two strongest players for the final showdown.
Although the outside world is not optimistic about Black Marando, this can be seen from the betting odds, but this does not prevent everyone from having expectations for this battle!
Is Chenglong still sitting firmly on the throne, dominating the younger generation?
Or will Lando succeed in ‘killing gods’ and create a new era of his own?!
