Not long after, Xu Heng entered the center of the competition hall under multiple identity verifications and met with Cheng Shuyan and others.
With the experience of yesterday's competition, this time everyone received their protection cards and climbed onto the huge glass platform.
As all the contestants from the top 16 schools arrived, the platform was activated again, blooming with blazing white light.
Xu Heng paid special attention to the feeling of his body this time, but he did not feel any trace of teleportation. Only the surrounding scene began to blur and change.
So this may not be a kind of transmission, but the use of some kind of equipment to open up the space of another world.
"What are you thinking about? Everyone is asking you questions." At this moment, Cheng Shuyan suddenly touched Xu Heng, interrupting his thoughts.
Only then did Xu Heng come to his senses. He and his group had already entered the competition venue.
Today's venue is much larger than yesterday's arena, surrounded by icebergs and snow, and a vast expanse of white.
He, Cheng Shuyan, Wang Zhen and other classmates were all standing on the top of a mountain.
At the foot of the mountain is a wide lake, but it is completely frozen. The ice seems to be very thick and difficult to break.
On the other side of the lake, there is also a hill. Standing on the hill are ten other students, who are their opponents this time.
According to the rules of the competition, they will have ten duels. Each person is not limited to the number of battles, but they can only use one bottle of solar term liquid throughout the process. In the end, the side with more wins will accumulate three points.
"The one across from Blue River University is of average strength, so you can fight as you please."
Xu Heng faced the nine classmates who were looking at him and directly announced his tactics, fight casually!
They had already discussed it when they had dinner in the morning. Xu Heng would formulate the combat strategy for this freshmen game, so everyone needs to follow his arrangements.
But now that they heard this, their expressions twitched slightly.
Average strength?
That means that for you, your strength is average!
For us, at least we need to show some respect and pay more attention, and things like capsizing in the gutter cannot happen.
"Then draw lots to determine the order of appearance?" Cheng Shuyan suggested.
"Okay!" Xu Heng agreed immediately.
The rest of the people had no objections. Although they should pay attention to the students of Blue River University, there was no need to pay too much attention to the order of appearance.
Even if someone accidentally overturned, everyone still won six or seven games easily.
Soon, several people determined the order of appearance.
Xu Heng was directly drawn to sixth place.
This is a good sign, it's a great success.
"Formal Group C, the first round of competition begins now!"
At this time, as a mechanical beep sounded in the air, a student from both sides fell onto the ice of the lake below the mountain.
Xu Heng didn't care much about the competition process. After all, the chances of winning were too great and the strength was so disparate that he couldn't think of how he could lose.
However, the situation was still beyond his expectation.
As soon as the opponent comes up, they will attack with all their might, showing no mercy, consuming a lot of energy, and frequently launching big killing moves.
The first person to appear on Xu Heng's side was Cheng Shuyan. The heavy snow season has extra power in this icy and snowy environment.
But despite this, Cheng Shuyan was caught off guard.
I didn't expect that my opponent was so strong. He exhausted all his strength as soon as he came up. It seemed that he didn't intend to fight in the next round?
"A hundred miles frozen!"
Cheng Shuyan quickly used his seasonal ability to condense the air in front of him, turning it into wisps of snow and ice. Under the shroud of solar terms, every snowflake shone brightly, like stars, all swarming forward.
She also quickly retreated, and at the same time raised her palm to the sky, and as the light shone, a huge icicle came out of the lake.
However, the opponent was well prepared and rolled to avoid it. Then he drank a bottle of solar term liquid and unleashed his solar energy ability again.
Cheng Shuyan's expression changed, and he could only repeat his old tricks, condensing the air into snow flakes, blocking his opponent's endless killing moves.
boom!
On the ice of the lake, bursts of roaring instantly sounded.
Xu Heng and others stood on the mountain with a clear view, and were surprised by the situation of the battle.
"Is the opponent crazy? They broke out like this when they first started, and even drank the solar fluid. There are still two rounds of competition, and they don't want to fight?" Wang Zhen said with a look of shock.
Xu Heng also frowned, feeling that something was not quite right.
Today they have a total of three games, playing against three teams in the group. However, today everyone only has one bottle of solar energy solution throughout the whole process, and it will be gone after it is used.
Now that the other party is pursuing and fighting fiercely, no matter the cost, it seems that he has some kind of plan.
"boom!"
At this time, several icicles emerged from the lake.
Cheng Shuyan finally killed his opponent and returned to the mountain.
It's just that her face looked a little bad and her expression looked solemn.
"Something's wrong with them. It seems they are trying to force us to consume more solar energy. My loss was a bit serious just now. I have to hurry up and recover, otherwise I will have to use solar energy fluid in the next game." After Cheng Shuyan finished speaking, he quickly sat down cross-legged and began to adjust his breathing.
.
"What they did can't change the result. Even if we are severely exhausted, at worst we can advance to second place in the group." A boy frowned and said he couldn't understand.
Xu Heng raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "I probably know why."
The opponents after the quarter-finals will also be drawn by lot.
But there are two rules.
1. Two teams in the same group will not meet.
For example, in the Group C they are currently in, the top two advancing teams will not be drawn as opponents after the quarterfinals.
Second, the opponent of the first place in the group will be drawn from the second place in the other three groups.
This means that if Xu Heng and the others finish second in the group this time, their opponents after the quarterfinals will be the first in Group A, the first in Group B, or the first in Group D.
This means that they have a one-third chance of meeting Tiansi University or Dishu University in advance.
If anyone is less powerful and encounters Tiansi University in advance, he will be eliminated in the top eight in minutes.
After Xu Heng analyzed this rule, the others reacted instantly.
"So Blue River University is deliberately trying to sabotage our strength so that we may advance in second place? But what benefit does this do to Blue River?" Wang Zhen said solemnly.
"Of course there are benefits we don't know about."
Xu Heng smiled: "If I guess correctly, people from Tiansi University probably found them and asked them to cooperate to make us second in the group."
"This..." Wang Zhen and other students understood instantly, and their expressions became solemn.
If a lot of energy is really consumed, it might be really hard to tell in the third round.
By then, if we really advance to the second place in the group, there is a one-third chance that we will meet Tiansi University, which would be bad.
Before I came here, I thought I had a chance of retaining second place this year, but now that I have been messed up like this, I might just go back after dreaming of the top eight, which would be very embarrassing.
I will be sprayed to death by other students within minutes after I return.
…
At the same time, in the audience.
Director Zhang and others had also noticed something was wrong from the screen. After thinking about the rules of the competition, they immediately understood the reason.
"Those idiots from Tiansi University actually do this kind of damaging trick?" Director Zhang's face immediately turned dark again.
Several school leaders also looked solemn.
"That's all, let's see if they can hold on." One leader sighed.
In this situation, there is nothing they can do. After all, these are all allowed within the rules of the game.
"It's okay. Even if you advance to the second place in the group, you may not be chosen as the opponent by Tiansi University." Teacher Chen reassured.
Several people's expressions suddenly twitched.
Teacher Chen seems to be a crow’s mouth!
…
Soon, the battle in the competition venue gradually became fierce.
Xu Heng's side has won five games in a row, basically sealing the victory.
But the situation is indeed a little bad.
Except for Cheng Shuyan, who was the first to appear, three of the other four students were forced to drink the solar term liquid to finish off their opponents.
"Xu Heng, we have won five games. You don't have to waste too much energy this time. I can just win the next game. I can give up the next few games." Wang Zhen, who was the seventh to appear, immediately suggested.
This was a countermeasure that he and several other people came up with.
Anyway, just winning six games is enough, so Xu Heng does not need to waste his energy and should stay behind to fight against stronger opponents.
"No, no, no, this is the annual freshman game. How can you compete passively? No matter what the opponent is, we should show our greatest strength to challenge. This not only respects the game, but also respects ourselves."
Xu Heng said seriously with a straight face.
"Then what if we really are second in the group..." Wang Zhen frowned.
Xu Heng couldn't help but smile on his face: "Nothing goes wrong, we just want to take second place in the group."
"Ah?" Several people were shocked when they heard this.
Even Cheng Shuyan and the others who were recovering their energy on the side couldn't help but open their eyes and look at Xu Heng.
What nonsense are you talking about?
"Those people in Tiansi University are shameless. I originally thought of leaving the second place in the freshman competition to them. Since they don't want it, let them die in the quarterfinals."
After Xu Heng finished speaking, he jumped directly to the lake below, leaving Wang Zhen and others looking at each other in astonishment.
On the ice of the lake, the opponents of Blue River University were already ready.
As soon as Xu Heng came out, the opponent held up the halo of the season without hesitation, and the snowflakes and ice chips began to condense.
Obviously, this is also a heavy snow season master, trying to break out the solar terms, forcing Xu Heng to use up his solar terms to avoid it.
"Are you good at explosions? Congratulations, you will have the honor to see my ultimate move today - Xu's Triangle Kill!"
Xu Heng smiled slightly and took out a dagger from his waist.
The next moment, a black light suddenly lit up in the palm of his hand, covering the dagger, and then he raised his hand and flicked it.
call out!
The dagger, with its biting coldness, instantly penetrated the air and flew towards the opponent's left direction.
"ah?"
"Missed?"
Everyone present was stunned when they saw this.
This is too outrageous!
Even the opponent was slightly startled, and then couldn't help but smile.
"It seems that the top scorer's hidden weapon skills are not... huh?"
Just as he was about to finish speaking, he suddenly realized that Xu Heng had disappeared. He immediately stopped smiling and waved his palms, white light shining brightly.
boom!
Several icicles instantly sprang up from the lake at his feet, completely surrounding him and protecting him in the center.
But the next moment.
"boom!"
Only a muffled sound was heard.
The icicle that had just sprung up behind him broke with a sound.
The boy's expression changed. Just as he turned around to fight back, he suddenly felt a black shadow appear from his right.
He quickly stopped his movements, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw clearly that a big foot on the right was flying towards his head, and the sole of the shoe was continuously enlarging!
boom!
Another muffled sound!
Xu Heng kicked the boy directly in the face.
The boy was like a kite with its string cut off, flying directly to the left.
Suddenly, a flying black dagger pierced through the boy's throat.
"Snapped!"
The blood on the boy's body instantly splashed on the snow-white ice, and his whole body fell heavily, then turned into a white light and disappeared without a trace.
From taking action to ending the battle, the entire process takes less than two seconds!
At this moment, the whole place fell into dead silence.
On the mountain tops on both sides of the lake, all the students were stunned and dumbfounded.
Outside the stadium, in the audience.
Director Zhang and others also widened their eyes and opened their mouths slightly.
The rest of the people paying attention to this game were also dumbfounded.
Xu's triangle killing?
Is this the Xu Triangle Killing?
Can you still have fun like this during the Xiaohan Festival?
