Chapter 136: Start of the Academy Rank
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Okay, let’s begin.”
As Four Sages Academy’s vice-dean spoke, the judge in charge also stepped forward. As the mic sounded, the originally noisy arena fell silent.
‘Everyone, the academy ranking competition has officially begun. According to the rules of this season’s ranking competition, each academy will send five students.”
“They’ll take turns to battle.”
“The deans of the academies will draw lots.”
After the judge finished speaking, the four deans above had already started drawing lots.
Four academies. each pair competing against each other- In other words, two academies would have a match taking place simultaneously.
They would exchange after it was over.
In the end, they focused on the number of wins.
As for the tag-team battle mode, it depended on the academy’s arrangements. They had to check who would appear in which position.
This was also a method arranged by the Four Sages Academy to test the tactical arrangements.
Of course, these arrangements didn’t affect the Azure Dragon Institute much.
Inside the arena.
Gu Shanshan and the rest looked nervous, as their gazes landed on Zhang
Xuan.
They looked at the students from the other three academies. The lowest professional level was at the epic level, and most of them were above Level 30, reaching the third transition.
This was indeed not something they could compare to.
“Zhang Xuan, do we still need to make arrangements?” asked Gu Shanshan.
Liu Tangshan and the rest also looked over.
Seeing the other academies’ stances, they clearly didn’t want the Azure Dragon Institute to stand out.
An epic-level class advancement player above Level 28.
Amongst them, the three academies each sent out a legendary-level, Level 35 class advancement player to participate.
The Azure Dragon Institute had no way of fighting against such strength. “I have no choice. There’s no need to arrange anything. I’ll be the first to go up then.”
“If I lose, you can use it to sharpen yourself,” said Zhang Xuan.
This was also the best solution he could think of.
After all, the difference was obvious.
Hearing Zhang Xuan’s arrangement, the few of them didn’t reject him. After all, this was the safest way.
Zhang Xuan was currently at Level 28. In addition to his professional combat skills, he was indeed the strongest among the few of them.
Even though Liu Tangshan was quite strong and his profession was good, it was too low.
If he was also Level 28, he could fight.
Following the drawing of lots, the Azure Dragon Institute went against the Vermillion Bird Institute.
Out of the five students from the Vermillion Bird Institute, two were Level 28 and had an epic-level profession, while the other three were third transition students.
One of the third transition class advancement players was a legendary-level professional.
Just from the interface, one could feel the obvious difference between the two sides.
“Azure Dragon Institute’s Zhang Xuan, Level 28 Necromancer, the only hidden profession.”
Zhang Xuan was the first to enter the arena.
It instantly attracted the attention of the few deans in the arena.
Back then, during the assessment, Zhang Xuan had given them a huge shock.
Now that so much time had passed, Zhang Xuan’s cultivation level had also increased shockingly.
He had already reached Level 28.
Seeing that the Azure Dragon Institute sent Zhang Xuan, the Vermillion Bird Institute’s side was rather cautious and directly sent out their class advancement players, who were also Level 28.
“Vermillion Bird Institute’s Lu Fei, a Level 28 legendary fighter!”
Lu Fei walked out. He was muscular and looked like he was purely a strength type and the main attacking force.
As for Zhang Xuan’s Necromancer, he was recognized as a support type because of his summoning.
As the two of them entered the arena, the battle was about to begin…
Lu Fei immediately assumed a stance, and his muscles glowed with an obvious red light.
Under the red light, one could see the protection of strength. It was obvious that this was the other party’s professional characteristic.
Fighters used close combat as their foundation. Close combat was what they were best at, and it was also their most effective attack and defense method.
Seeing the other party’s stance, Zhang Xuan didn’t stand on ceremony. He raised his hand and summoned his skill.
In an instant, Skeleton Warriors appeared one after another!
Its number was maintained at 10!
10 Skeleton Warriors. Silver-grade Skeleton Warriors’ individual attributes weren’t low. It was clearly enough to deal with this Level 28 warrior in front of him.
“Attack. Just don’t kill him.”
With his command, the Skeleton Warriors instantly exploded!
Seeing the 10 Skeleton Warriors rushing over, Lu Fei didn’t care about them. “They’re just summoned creatures. These summoned creatures usually don’t have much attack power and are extremely weak.”
Lu Fei was confident as he immediately rushed forward and punched the Skeleton Warrior at the front!
However, this punch didn’t cause much damage to the Skeleton Warrior. It only lost a little health.
However, in exchange, the Skeleton Warriors attacked crazily…
[Health -5000]
Seeing the damage caused by the Skeleton Warriors, Lu Fei was also taken aback and hurriedly moved back, wanting to take the chance to widen the distance between them.
However, as a close combatant, it wasn’t a good thing for him to hurriedly widen the distance.
In an instant, he was surrounded by the Skeleton Warriors and lost the initiative.
Fighters were good at close combat.
However, the Skeleton Warriors were completely unafraid of damage. Even if they were shattered by the other party’s punch, they could continue to revive and fight.
Under such circumstances, Lu Fei lasted for less than ten minutes and his physical strength was exhausted. His health points had also reached the lowest point of the competition rules.
The rules of the competition were that if the class advancement players reach the lowest level of their health or their physical strength and mana were exhausted, they would fail.
“The Azure Dragon Institute’s Zhang Xuan wins the first match!”
Following Zhang Xuan’s victory, the Vermillion Bird Institute’s side continued to send people forward.
On the high platform.
The few deans looked at Zhang Xuan’s battle and sighed.
“This kid’s combat style is still the same. His skeletons are all summoned creatures that exceeded the standard. Even a pure summoning class can’t compare to him.”
“I’m afraid even an epic-level warrior of the same level as him isn’t his match.”
The few deans looked at Zhang Xuan and had a new understanding of his abilities.
However, this wasn’t enough.
The moment they talked, the second student from the academy had already lost.
Level 28 epic-level assassin.
He wanted to use her assassin advantage to target Zhang Xuan, but he was chased by Zhang Xuan’s Skeleton Warriors and had no chance to get close.
Everyone knew that one just had to get close to a class that was good at summoning and deal with the summoned class advancement players to easily win.
However, this assassin profession had this thought and neglected Zhang Xuan’s Skeleton Warrior.
After all, the skeleton summoned wasn’t a puppet, but a skeleton with its own consciousness and combat consciousness!
Moreover, it was just 10 Skeleton Warriors, yet they could easily deal with an assassin.
Zhang Xuan’s relaxed appearance made the remaining students from the Vermilion Bird Institute alert.
Originally, it was a good thing for anyone to meet the Azure Dragon Institute in this competition. After all, they could easily win and accumulate victory points.
However, the situation was different now..
