Chapter 38: Attacking and Defending the Arena
After waiting for another fifteen minutes or so, everyone finally arrived.
In addition to the people from Qingye City, there are also bosses from several other secondary cities below Shuzhou City and one or two students they brought with them.
However, the middle-aged man with a round face who came in last seemed to have trouble getting along with Wang Haiping.
“Hey, isn’t this Director Wang? I haven’t seen you for many years. I wonder how you are doing in Guangchuan City?”
As soon as this man came in, his eyes fell on Wang Haiping. A hint of surprise flashed on his face, and he quickly walked over with his students.
“It turns out to be Director Hu...” When Wang Haiping saw this person, the smile on his face immediately faded.
This person is Hu Tao, the deputy mayor of Zigui City, a secondary city.
Speaking of which, there is indeed a story between Wang Haiping and Hu Tao.
At the beginning, Wang Haiping was young and promising, with outstanding work ability. He had the opportunity to be directly promoted to deputy director.
However, for some reasons, Hu Tao squeezed out Wang Haiping's position and blocked Wang Haiping's promotion path. To this day, no new promotion opportunities have emerged.
So the hatred between the two is really quite big.
Hu Tao's eyes fell on Su Yuan behind Wang Haiping: "This is the student you brought to participate in the blooming of the sacred tree, Director Wang? The star power fluctuation seems to be a little weaker, is it just the eighth level? As expected of Director Wang, he always behaves like this Unique!”
Hu Tao smiled and pushed up a young man behind him: "Come on, Director Wang, let me introduce to you, this is the genius of our Zigui City, this year's special admissions student in Hengzhou, Liu Rulong."
Hengzhou special enrollment?
Su Yuan and Wang Haiping both couldn't help but take a second look at the young man following Hu Tao.
Light purple hair, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a tall build. Seeing Su Yuan's gaze, Liu Rulong grinned and raised his chin slightly provocatively.
“It turns out it’s a special admission from Hengzhou College, it’s amazing~” Wang Haiping said in a perfunctory manner.
Hengzhou College ranks eleventh, which is higher than the colleges in Shuzhou and Wanzhou. It does have the capital to show off.
Seeing Wang Haiping's attitude, Hu Tao smiled and said, "I hope this eighth-level student of yours can enter the secret realm of the sacred tree. Director Wang, I will cheer for you."
Wang Haiping said calmly: "It is certain to enter the secret realm, so I won't bother you."
Hu Tao snorted secretly, and then strode past Su Yuan and Wang Haiping with the inch-haired young man.
…
Ji Qinghe, the president of Qingye City Star Card Master Association, is a thin and energetic old man.
However, this person's realm is the highest in the game. He has been at the high level of Shining Star for many years. It is said that he is only one step away from Huiyue Level and may break through at any time.
Even Yan Chenfei, the director of Qingye Education, must be polite in front of him.
At this time, Ji Qinghe slowly walked to the center of the venue. When everyone saw this, they stopped talking and looked up.
Ji Qinghe cleared his throat and said: "Now that everyone is here, let's start competing for the quota to enter the sacred tree.
In order to save time, the rules this time are the same as before. Everyone has only one chance to defend and attack. If they fail, they will be eliminated.
Until there is no one left to challenge the defender on the ring, it will be considered a success and you will be qualified to enter the secret realm of the sacred tree.
Do you have any opinions? "
"No."
“Just follow your orders, Mr. Ji.”
This rule has been in place for many years, and it has been like this every year.
If we really want to have two or three rounds of competition to determine the top four, firstly, the number of people is uncertain and it is difficult to arrange; secondly, it is a competition between nearly twenty star disciples. For the big guys who are at least one star star on the field, It's really not interesting and unnecessary.
“Okay, let’s start right away,” Ji Qinghe smiled and glanced at the many young people below. “If you want to defend the ring, just stand on the ring at the back.”
Behind Ji Qinghe is a large square arena, which is much more professional than the dueling arena at Guangchuan No. 4 Middle School.
"Let me do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice from Su Yuan rang out, it was Zhuang Xun.
Quite positive…
Zhuang Xun actually didn’t want to be the first to go up, but this is Qingye City. As the home court, how could anyone else go to defend the ring first? Yan Chenfei had previously warned Zhuang Xun that he must be the first to enter and win the first secret realm spot!
Zhuang Xun walked out from the side and entered the duel field, winking at Su Yuan from a distance on the way.
Brother, please don’t mess with me!
Su Yuan originally planned to go up directly and hold the spot in his hands first, so that he would have nothing to do.
But now that Zhuang Xun is admitted, let’s wait a little bit... “Is this one of the two Shuzhou special admissions students in Qingye?”
“That should be the case. Aono City is really doing well this year. Not only did it have two special enrollments, but there are also two special enrollments from below.”
“Well, Qingye City is really making a lot of money this year. Director Yan’s official career is limitless..."
Young students looked at Zhuang Xun on the stage, while the big guys were talking casually in twos and threes.
These big guys don’t care about who is specifically enrolled in Qingye’s special enrollment. They only care about how many special enrollments there are. After all, this is also the performance evaluation indicator of the Ministry of Education for the education bureaus at all levels below.
“Is there anyone who can challenge me first?”
"I come!"
A young man with dark skin took a few steps forward and then jumped onto the duel field. He raised his hands and took out a black hammer with an exaggerated shape.
There is a thin but deep layer of gray light wrapped around the hammer. It is also a green star weapon!
“Yanyun No. 2 Middle School, Luo Feng!” the dark-skinned young man shouted in a deep voice.
Zhuang Xun looked at the other person and it was not simple. He waved his hand and called out his black and red sword: "Qingye hits the target, Zhuang Xun!"
There was no need for the referee to call the start. The two looked at each other and started fighting together at the same time.
In fact, this Luo Feng is indeed not simple. He is the nephew of a shining star junior star card master in Yanyun City.
Blue low-grade soul card, C-level strength qualification. He has a good foundation since he was a child and has strong talent. Although he is not a special admissions student, Luo Feng has long-term guidance from his star-studded uncle, and he thinks he will not be much worse than the special admissions admissions of these prestigious schools.
Luo Feng started strengthening his strength as soon as he came up. The muscles on his body were intricately connected. The huge hammer looked like it was made of plastic. He danced like a tiger in his hand like a tiger!
“Dang, Dang, Dang!”
The two sides fought at close range. After several consecutive exchanges, Luo Feng actually forced Zhuang Xun back several steps.
Zhuang Xun suddenly used his strength to temporarily stifle Luo Feng's offensive, and then quickly stepped away with his feet.
Twisted his numb arm, Zhuang Xun couldn't help but curl his lips.
Good guy, this power is really strong, it is indeed incomparable~
But it’s useless to be strong... let’s end this battle!
Zhuang Xun became serious. Not only did he have to win this kind of defensive battle, he also had to win it cleanly!
Only by showing absolute strength can others be intimidated. Otherwise, once you show weakness, everyone will want to come up and give it a try, and it will become a battle. The star power of the star disciple is limited, and no matter how strong the strength is, he will be beaten to death sooner or later.
Seeing Luo Feng wielding the sledgehammer and rushing over again, Zhuang Xun quickly formed a few seals in his hand, then stepped on his foot, and the rich fire element exploded from under his feet. As the flames rose, six fire snakes flew straight out of the flames. Run towards Luo Feng's door!
Luo Feng was startled and hurriedly swung his hammer at the flying fire snakes. He could easily smash one in one blow.
However, the fire snake is extremely flexible, and it is really difficult to deal with relatively bulky weapons such as hammers. Luo Feng only smashed three of them, and was wrapped around his body by the remaining three fire snakes.
The next moment, the bodies of the three fire snakes lit up violently!
"not good…"
“Bang bang bang!”
With bursts of explosions, the three fire snakes exploded one after another, and the blooming orange flames enveloped Luo Feng's body. Even the many students watching the battle below were shocked.
However, including the deputy director of education of Yanyun City who brought Luo Feng here, none of the big shots had any intention of taking action.
“Don’t even think about defeating me like this!”
At this moment, Luo Feng suddenly reached out his hand from the flames!
The exposed skin all over his body was covered with a layer of dark green fish scales, which could barely withstand the rolling flames of the fire snake's explosion.
However, before Luo Feng could completely dissipate the aftermath of the flames on his body, he suddenly felt the temperature in front of him rising sharply. When he looked closely, a large fireball with a diameter of more than half a meter was already rolling between Zhuang Xun's hands.
The fire snake is just to entangle the enemy, and the pyroblast is the real killing move!
“Go ahead, Pyroblast!” Zhuang Xun said without politeness.
As soon as the fire light grew, the huge fireball containing astonishing energy flew quickly towards Luo Feng, who had not yet recovered from the previous fire snake explosion.
Luo Feng’s expression changed drastically: “It’s finished…”
At the critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared next to Luo Feng, reaching out his hand to catch the flying fireball.
It is Ji Qinghe!
The fireball was caught by Ji Qinghe. Not only did it not explode, but it quickly shriveled up like a deflated ball.
Luo Feng felt the residual high temperature of the blazing fireball and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
“Zhuang Xunsheng!”
