394 Eye of Truth VS Divine Talent (I)
After more than ten days, the participants from various cities had arrived. Under Jiang Chenghe and the various ministers of Stormwind City’s careful preparations, this year’s University Tournament officially began.
Most of the rules were the same as in previous years. First, they would start with individual challenges. After the top three were determined in the individual challenges, group battles would begin. After the battles were over, the crown of wisdom and other items would be awarded. Finally, everyone would go home and find their own mothers.
The difference was…
Jiang Chenghe announced to all the guests at the opening ceremony of the University Tournament that in this year’s University Tournament, there would be one person and his team who would skip the early screening and directly advance to the final three.
As soon as it was announced, everyone was shocked.
‘What is going on?’
‘Skip the screening?’
‘Guaranteed entry?’
The point was that it was already bad enough that one person was guaranteed a spot, but wasn’t it a bit too much for the participating team to be guaranteed a spot as well?
Jiang Chenghe didn’t explain and only said, “Those who feel that Stormwind City is unfair, you can raise a protest.”
“The protesters will draw lots. The person who draws a lot of the representatives elected by all the protesters can directly challenge the student who was given the free pass. If you succeed, the recommendation will go to you. If you fail, you’ll be treated as the last place.”
The Inter-University Tournament was the same as the Inter-University competitions on each campus. Apart from the top ten contestants who could win the crown of wisdom, those who entered the top twenty, top fifty, top hundred… Each section had a corresponding reward, and the reward was very useful and bountiful. It was much better than the reward that ordinary college students would get after spending a few months clearing dungeons.
After all…
Many of the participants had to travel by train for more than ten days to get to Stormwind City.
They would have to waste more than ten days on the way back.
In order to obtain a place in the top three of their campus, they had wasted a large number of opportunities to farm dungeons, participate in competitions, watch competitions, and study the strength of their opponents.
If this time cost did not give enough returns…
Who would be willing to play in this competition?
Therefore, when Jiang Chenghe’s words came out, most of the people were silenced.
If they were defeated by this mysterious player right from the start and ended up in last place, not only would it be a waste of time, but the University they represented would also become the laughingstock of other universities. They would end up in last place.
They didn’t want to be the first to stand out.
None of them want to take this risk.
At this moment.
Someone asked doubtfully.
“Shouldn’t this recommended student show his strength, or at least announce what ‘great achievements’ he has done to garner the special privilege?”
Jiang Chenghe replied, “That student’s situation is a bit special, so we can’t reveal too much about him. You just need to know that he has the qualifications to guarantee the top three of this competition.”
“As for displaying his strength…”
“I’ve already said that you can draw votes or choose a representative to challenge him.”
“This way, he can display his strength in front of everyone.”
“Can’t he just show it on his own?” The student continued to ask.
Jiang Chenghe shook his head, “No,”
What a joke. Lin Ye’s overpowered skills were all AoE attacks and explosive damage. If no one took the initiative to be his punching bag, no one would be able to tell how strong he was.
They couldn’t arrange a match between Lin Ye and a level 50 Professional, right?
Wouldn’t that make a large group of people’s minds explode?
This kind of mental pressure would definitely affect the condition of the participating students, causing them to make all kinds of mistakes and lose on the field.
If it was serious, some genius students who thought they were the protagonists of the book might completely lose confidence.
He would be crippled as if he was possessed by the devil.
On the other hand, if Lin Ye fought with students of the same level as him, they would still be crushed, but the others wouldn’t see the system data and wouldn’t know how much damage Lin Ye had actually done, so they wouldn’t be too affected emotionally.
So, Jiang Chenghe had set up a challenge by drawing votes.
If someone thought that they could get a recommendation like Lin Ye…
They could skip the competition, immediately challenge Lin Ye, and be defeated at the speed of light.
Not only would it show Lin Ye’s true strength, but it would also shut the mouths of the others.
As for the additional rule of ‘losing the challenge will determine the final place’ was to dissuade people who weren’t confident enough. This would prevent a large group of people from challenging Lin Ye and extend the time of the University Tournament.
In the end…
Jiang Chenghe wanted Lin Ye to make a move in the final circle.
This way, the university students who came to participate in the competition would be in their best condition for the University Tournament.
He didn’t want to explode in anger.
Or lie flat and let himself rot…
Faced with Jiang Chenghe’s unyielding attitude, although the participating students and school representatives were a little unwilling, they still endured and accepted his decision in order to not be eliminated in the first round and get the last place.
The main thing was…
Stormwind City was a big city in the west with the title of ‘Steel City’, after all.
He definitely wouldn’t open the back door for just anyone.
The student who was guaranteed to be in the top three was definitely not an ordinary person. He had his own impressive aspects that could make the Professional Alliance of Stormwind City look at him in a new light…
Just like that, Lin Ye was guaranteed to be in the top three without any objections.
...
The University Tournament also officially began with the referee’s announcement.
Originally, Lin Ye and the others wanted to be a happy audience and sit in the specially-arranged VIP seats to watch the various gods show off their skills and wait for the competition to end.
But…
