The next day, Xu Heng and nine other participating students gathered downstairs in the teaching building.
There are also twenty elite students who were not selected. They are not weak and have been included in the substitute list for this trip, but they are most likely just accompanying them to observe and gain insights.
Director Zhang became the leading teacher for this freshmen competition, and several master-level school directors were responsible for the safety of this trip. Teacher Chen from the Admissions Office and several other tutors were responsible for the daily life of the students.
The staffing is very complete.
In addition, the school also customized a set of combat uniforms for everyone, uniforming the attire. The colors are mainly black and white, and the school emblem of Tianxiang University is embroidered on the chest.
Before departure, professional photographers came to take pictures of them for newspaper promotion.
In fact, before yesterday, Xu Heng and others had already been taken to take personal promotional photos.
It is said that on the day of the competition, everyone's life-size photos will appear at the competition venue, and all universities in Scorpio Continent will live broadcast their competition process.
"Dear top academics, this year is up to you!"
"Brothers and sisters, come on!"
"Our school has been ranked second for three consecutive years. We must hold on this year!"
"Don't let those bastards from Dishu Academy take second place, come on!"
"Xu, come on, the seniors will treat you to dinner when you come back."
"Classmate Xu, you are the most handsome! Ah!"
"Monitor, please listen, a girl is really calling me this time."
On the teaching floor, many classroom windows were opened, and students from various classes shouted encouragement at them.
Xu Heng also heard a few brats in Xiaohan's class talking dirty words again, and chose to ignore them, but still raised his head and waved to the girls in other classes.
"It seems that you are quite popular with girls!" Cheng Shuyan stood aside and said with a half-smile.
She did not enter the school in the top ten, but after being listed as an elite student, she directly selected a seed student and won. She accepted several challenges later and stabilized her qualifications as a contestant.
"Shu Yan, I think you like him too!" Fang Yue on the other side said teasingly.
She originally picked out a student, but unfortunately she was defeated by other elite students and was eventually included in the substitute list and traveled with the team.
"Fang Yue, what nonsense are you talking about?" Cheng Shuyan's face darkened and he stared at Fang Yue.
Xu Heng ignored them, kept an elegant smile on his face, and continued to wave to the female students on the teaching floor, trying his best to keep the bowl of water level and take care of every girl's feelings.
However, the consequence of this is that wherever he looks, he will always attract screams from some female students.
It’s not strange for Director Zhang and others to see so many of them. Every year there are always a few handsome guys who are particularly attractive to girls. It’s normal.
However, it is really rare for people like Xu Heng to attract bees and respond to every girl.
Can't you just keep this kid under control? He's so handsome and amazing, isn't he?
Soon, after Director Zhang and others quickly counted all the personnel, they led the team directly to the outside of the school.
The school is equipped with a luxury bus, which is just enough for them to take them to the train station.
The venue for this freshman competition is the city where Tiansi University is located, Scorpio Continent Dajing City.
Dajing City is also located in the central area of Scorpio Continent. It is not far from Dashen City, but it takes more than half a day's drive.
After Xu Heng and his party arrived at the train station, they took a special train and set off smoothly under the arrangement of the Dashen City official department.
This special train goes directly to Dajing City without any stopover.
There are also some security personnel on the train, keeping an eye on the situation along the way.
After all, this car is full of elite talents. If it is not kept intact, some cultists may have evil intentions.
But after all, this is the central area of Scorpio Continent, and with such strong protection measures from the government and the school, even if the cult tried to do it, they would probably give up because they felt they had no chance.
After more than eight hours of driving, Xu Heng and his party successfully arrived at Dajing City Station.
The official department has already sent people to greet you here.
"It turns out that this is a participating team from Tianxiang University, and you are indeed the first to come this year." A middle-aged man came forward and shook hands with Director Zhang and other school leaders one by one.
Behind him, dozens of staff wearing vests came forward to help the students carry their luggage.
"Director Li, why have you gained weight again this year?" Director Zhang smiled at the middle-aged man. The two of them obviously knew each other.
"Old Zhang, you have less hair than last year!" the middle-aged man responded enthusiastically.
The two talked and laughed, and finally guided everyone to a special bus to prepare for the competition venue.
Xu Heng followed the queue to get on the bus. When he came to the door, Director Li, who was standing in front of the bus, suddenly said, "Is this Xu Heng, this year's top scorer?"
"Director Li, I am Xu Heng." Xu Heng nodded in response.
"Young man is really talented. It's a pity that he didn't come to our Dajing City. Do you want to consider changing schools..."
"Lao Li, shut your mouth and poach people in front of me. Are you still shameless?"
Before Director Li finished speaking, Director Zhang appeared from the side, strangled Director Li's neck and rushed to the car.
Along the way, Director Zhang and others were on strict guard against Director Li, not giving him any chance to talk to Xu Heng.
Teacher Chen also sat directly next to Xu Heng and reminded in a low voice: "Classmate Xu, when you come to Dajing City this time, there will definitely be official figures from other schools and other cities looking for you, just to ask you to transfer to another school.
You must remember not to be tempted."
"Huh? I've already entered Tianxiang University, and they are still trying to recruit me?" Xu Heng looked confused. The admissions season has already passed, why are they still here?
"The challenge match you had with classmate Wang Zhen more than half a month ago was videotaped and circulated." Teacher Chen curled his lips and said.
In Wang Zhen's challenge match, he had almost no chance to perform, and was directly defeated by Xu Heng with one move.
But this time, Wang Zhen was on the list of contestants.
After being recuperated by the Spring Festival Commander, he continued to challenge again. As a result, he won nine games in a row and finally entered the squad. This shows that his strength is indeed not weak.
But the stronger he is, the more people understand how strong Xu Heng is.
This also led to the fact that after the video spread, personnel from each school realized that they had underestimated Xu Heng's strength. They regretted it and tried to use this freshman competition to contact Xu Heng and let him transfer to another school with higher conditions.
"Don't worry, Teacher Chen, I definitely won't transfer to another school." Xu Heng couldn't help but smile after understanding the cause and effect.
"That's good. It's not in vain that the teacher gave you a set of bedding on the first day of school." Teacher Chen said happily.
Xu Heng's eyes twitched slightly, Teacher Chen, did you forget that you also asked me for thousands of yuan for bedding?
"By the way, when you go back this time, you can take out the quilt and the teacher will help you wash it. After all, you have been sleeping for more than two months," Teacher Chen said again.
Xu Heng opened his mouth and was about to say no need to bother, but Teacher Chen added another sentence: "It's 298 at a time."
"..." Xu Heng's expression froze. Teacher Chen is indeed a person from Jinniuzhou.
"Also, classmate Xu, the teacher has arranged your room next to the teacher's. If you need anything, you can come to the teacher at any time."
Teacher Chen continued: "There will definitely be many merchants raising prices around this freshman competition. If you want to buy anything, just come to the teacher."
"So that's what you meant!" Xu Heng breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. Fortunately, he didn't ask if he could warm the bed.
Finally, the bus quickly arrived at the competition venue.
This is a huge hall located in the center of Dajing City, a large venue specially built for hosting various events.
The museum is not only equipped with sufficient rooms, but also has various entertainment facilities, as well as a bustling commercial street.
This is almost a mini city.
After everyone got off the bus, they were led by staff to receive their respective room cards and headed to the accommodation area.
Xu Heng, Teacher Chen, several participating students, and several school leaders happened to live on the same floor.
This was probably a deliberate arrangement to ensure the safety of their ten participating students.
However, Xu Heng's room is extremely spacious. Although it is not as good as the school villa, it is at least a luxurious suite. It is also equipped with 24-hour full-body SPA service, which is available at your call.
Xu Heng was confused about the content on the room service card and didn't understand it at all. He thought to himself that he would try it out later to gain more knowledge.
"But Teacher Chen just said in the car that if I need anything, I can come to her because the ones outside are more expensive... Forget it, I'll ask Teacher Chen later to see which one is cheaper."
Xu Heng muttered to himself, took a change of clothes, and went directly into the bathroom to wash up.
When he and everyone came to the restaurant to eat, they found that students from other schools had also arrived one after another.
The restaurant was very lively. The students from each school had their own unified uniforms, but with so many schools together, it was hard to avoid looking dazzled.
Against the backdrop of various colorful combat uniforms, the black and white colors appear unique and formal.
However, there were still two schools' combat uniforms that caught Xu Heng's attention.
One side is pure white, the other is pure black.
"The pure white combat uniforms belong to Tiansi University, and the black ones belong to Dishu University. This is an unwritten rule. Only the top three schools in the past can use combat uniforms of these two colors." Teacher Chen followed.
Looking at Xu Heng, he noticed the students from those two schools and opened his mouth to explain.
"Teacher Chen, how many universities are participating in the competition this time?" Xu Heng asked.
"This year should be the largest, with a total of 130 universities participating."
"So many?" Xu Heng was suddenly surprised.
One hundred and thirty universities, each with ten students, doesn’t mean that there are thirteen hundred students competing?
This number of people has caught up with the number of freshmen admitted to Tianxiang University this year.
"Once the first few rounds of competition are over, there won't be many people left." Teacher Chen said calmly: "But I heard that there will be reforms this year and a new competition event may be added. The details are still in the confidential stage, and we don't know about it."
Xu Heng nodded after listening. He knew the process of the competition in previous years.
The school team competition uses a simple one-on-one competition until the top ten schools are ranked based on the number of remaining 100 students. Then students from the top ten schools compete again, and the top ten are ranked according to the wins.
As for the strongest freshmen, the student with the most wins will be selected from the top-ranked school.
If the number of wins is the same, there will be a playoff between the two sides.
