Chapter 170: Admitting Defeat Without Taking the Stage! Su Huohuo
As soon as Liu Huanran finished speaking.
Wow!!
The crowd instantly erupted in astonished exclamations.
One ticket can watch two matches!
Worth it!
Of course.
There were also voices of doubt from the audience.
"Is there even a need to restart the match? The first place is definitely Tianyan Academy!"
"Yeah, even if the individual match is restarted, who can take down that freak Ling Zhan one-on-one?"
"Boring, isn't Ling Zhan going to win the individual championship anyway?"
...
Facing these discussions from the audience.
Liu Huanran, standing on the high platform, also sighed inwardly.
Yes.
He also felt that restarting this event was actually very redundant.
Completely ranking according to the previous points would have sufficed.
But the leaders of the various academies were unwilling.
The ones unwilling were those from the second- and third-tier academies.
As soon as they heard the discussion about restarting the match, their eyes lit up instantly.
Mainly because they were also helpless!
In that alliance battle, Ling Zhan single-handedly wiped out seven hundred people!
This led to the second- and third-tier academies being unable to gain any rankings in this freshman exchange trial match.
So...
Of course, they were firmly in favor of restarting the match!
After all, it was at least a chance to regain some rankings!
In the official event livestream chatroom, the viewers' opinions were the same as the on-site audience: What's the point! The first place is destined to be that monster Ling Zhan!
But under the urging of the academy leaders.
The individual matches were still restarted.
Dozens of arenas rose from the ground.
At the same time, the drawing ceremony also began.
Representatives from various academies took the stage one after another to draw lots.
When the handsome and tall Ling Zhan, who looked like a celestial being, walked onto the stage.
The cheers from the audience below erupted directly!
Unlike the belittlement and disdain at the start of the competition.
At this moment, the attitude of all the audience had undergone a complete transformation!
In the livestream chatroom, viewers flooded the screen with repetitive messages.
"Ling God!"
"Ling God!"
"Ling God!"
...
No one had expected.
This freshman from Tianyan Academy could receive such high acclaim.
And the students from other second- and third-tier academies, when drawing lots, glanced at the cold and stern Ling Zhan.
They all prayed inwardly:
"Hope I don't draw Ling Zhan! Don't draw Ling Zhan!"
Actually...
It's not just the students from these second- and third-tier academies who prayed like this.
Even the representatives of prestigious schools, Xiao Ruoming, Ye Tian, Situ Bingling, and Liu Xi, prayed inwardly not to encounter this monstrous freak too early.
Xiao Ruoming, Ye Tian, and Liu Xi had not personally witnessed Ling Zhan's strength, but could someone who defeated the demonized second-transformation Fang Bo and survived unscathed against the Dark Night Empress be simple!?
Soon.
The drawing ceremony ended.
Although the Ministry of Education allowed the rematch, they also instructed that this event should be special and quick, to be concluded in a single day.
After all, manpower is currently insufficient.
The Demon Arrival organization isn't sitting idly by in the face of this 'Demon Extermination Operation.'
A large number of demonized second-transformation experts have already appeared in various provinces, severely threatening the safety of local citizens and students.
Therefore, it must be a quick battle, followed by mobilizing the powerful students from the academies to provide support across the country.
In fact, this individual match did proceed quickly.
How quickly?
In the first round of the top 75 selection, Ling Zhan's opponent hadn't even jumped onto the stage before raising the white flag and admitting defeat from below.
The same happened in the second round of the top 37 selection.
The third round...
The fourth round...
Ling Zhan repeated the same action.
Taking the stage.
Stepping down.
Taking the stage.
Stepping down.
All the spectators were dumbfounded watching this scene.
"Damn it, at least put up a struggle! What's the point of watching if you just admit defeat right away?"
"If you think you can do it, then go up yourself."
"Maybe not..."
...
And the leaders of the academies sitting on the podium sighed helplessly.
"This was completely unnecessary to redo... such a waste of time!"
"Indeed..."
But the female reporters below the stage had eyes shining with excitement.
They were snapping photos of Ling Zhan with their cameras.
The resentment they once held against Ling Zhan for stripping them was long forgotten.
They had already thought of eye-catching headlines.
"Shocking! Freshman from a certain academy wins the freshman exchange trial championship effortlessly!"
"Unprecedented! The non-specialist teaches you how to outshine the top talents from prestigious academies!"
"Conqueror's Haki? Why do opponents voluntarily surrender as soon as he steps on the stage?"
...
Finally.
In the finals.
He met a representative from a prestigious academy who did not surrender.
Su Huohuo from Seven Star Academy.
Her profession is a branch of the Daoist class, a fortune teller.
Relying on the method of deduction, she can see through her opponent's every move.
She can even alter some of the fate and destiny of her targets.
Su Huohuo is petite, her looks can only be described as delicate, with a few faint freckles on her small face.
She wears round black-framed glasses and has two braided pigtails.
But her eyes are very clear and bright, like a gently flowing stream, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
Because she is a branch of the Daoist profession.
So her weapons are the same as a Daoist, there are two types.
A fortune-telling disk and a peach blossom sword.
At this moment, she is holding an ancient-looking fortune-telling disk in her small hands, the unusual fluctuations emanating from it indicating that its quality is not low.
Her small face looked solemnly at this handsome opponent with a calm expression.
She had long noticed the specialness of this opponent.
Anyone who faced him basically surrendered before even getting on the stage.
In the battle royale Secret Realm, although her other teammates were annihilated, she survived as a lone wolf.
Alone, she hid in the safe zone, acting according to the situation.
Later, she was inexplicably transported out of the Great Secret Realm and then heard about the appearance of the Demon Arrival organization.
She didn't understand why everyone was so afraid of this non-specialist.
She had no disdain for non-specialists; everyone has their own choices.
And now, what she needed to do was...
Defeat him!
Then win the championship of this freshman exchange trial!
And at this moment.
The teacher acting as the referee gave Su Huohuo a complex look.
That look seemed to say: "Girl, you are truly courageous. Facing this freak and still not surrendering, I respect you for being so brave!"
Soon.
The referee began the countdown.
"3."
"2."
"1."
"Start!"
The moment the countdown ended.
Su Huohuo suddenly turned the fortune-telling disk!
Buzz!!
A mysterious fluctuation instantly enveloped Ling Zhan.
As Ling Zhan took a step forward, his foot unexpectedly slipped, almost causing him to stumble!
Slap!
Ling Zhan supported himself with one hand on the ground, avoiding an embarrassing fall.
Wow!!
At this moment, all the spectators, including the leaders on the podium, had their eyes light up.
This...
Su Huohuo actually made Ling Zhan almost fall!
There's hope!
Definitely hope!
At this moment.
Everyone who had originally lost interest in this event suddenly became energized.
