Chapter 273 Are seventh and eighth graders considered college students?
“Speaking of which, why hasn’t our captain come yet? He doesn’t seem very reliable.”
A white, plump boy wearing round glasses spoke.
His name is Xia Bowen, Xia Yuemei’s younger brother, and he is also a member of the Baize University World Championship team.
“I heard that he is actually a high school student who was recruited by our school through special admissions.”
Hao Lei sighed and turned into hazy white mist in the ice and snow.
“I don’t know why Teacher Luo invited him to be our captain. Although Chen Mo is very famous, I think the spirit beast strength he showed in the previous gym competition is not as good as ours, right?”
“Hey, if our captain is still here, we can reach the quarterfinals in this tournament. It’s hard to say now.”
You say something to us, and I say something to you.
They are inevitably resentful towards Chen Mo, who "airborne" and has yet to show up.
"Say less! Since Teacher Luo thinks he can be the captain, she certainly has her reasons. You might as well train more while you have time for such gossip."
Perhaps she felt that the two boys next to her were too annoying, so Xia Yuemei said.
“Sister, there are rumors that he is senior Chen Meng’s biological brother.”
Xia Bowen smiled.
“Zundu is fake?”
Xia Yuemei joined the group chat.
Chen Meng was her only idol throughout her school days. When she heard that Chen Mo might be the idol's younger brother, she instantly became interested.
You must know that Chen Meng is simply a legend at Bai Ze University, leading the team to win the World University Championships for three consecutive years.
The reason why he did not win four consecutive championships is because in his senior year, Chen Meng was exploring an important relic and had no time to participate.
In those years, college students all over the world were cast in her shadow.
“Fuck!”
At this time, Xia Bowen suddenly uttered a curse word.
“Don’t use bad language.”
Xia Yuemei frowned and educated her younger brother.
“No, sister, look at the back.”
Xia Bowen pointed to the sky behind Xia Yuemei and said calmly.
Xia Yuemei turned around, and what she saw was a giant beast that was a hundred meters long. At this moment, it was slowly driving towards them. Its huge body was like a fortress in the air.
"What's this!?"
“Looks like an island spirit!? But why is this island spirit so big and can fly!”
Hao Lei exclaimed.
Of course, it wasn’t just them. The players who came to participate in the College Student Spirit Taming Championship all saw this behemoth and couldn’t help but talk about it, guessing which boss’s mount it was.
Soon, Xia Yuemei and others discovered that the island spirit was hovering above their heads, and then began to land slowly. The young man on the whale's back seemed very familiar!
Chen Mo! ?
During the landing process, Xinghai used the transformation technique to shrink to more than 7 meters in length. After all, Kunlun City did not have such a big place for it to land in its original size.
“Hello everyone! Sorry, I’m late.”
Chen Mo smiled and greeted the three of them.
Luo Jiangyue had provided him with photos and information of several other players, so Chen Mo recognized his teammates immediately.
“Team Chen!? Is this lonely island spirit your spirit beast?”
Xia Bowen stuttered slightly.
Xinghai made a loud whale call and nodded in response.
“How can it be so big!?”
Hao Lei asked in disbelief.
With this kind of body shape, I am afraid that it can compete with a monarch-level spiritual beast simply by relying on physical strength, right?
Is this really a high school student’s spirit beast?
Sure enough, the rumors are not groundless. I am afraid that he is really Chen Meng’s younger brother. There is a high probability that both of them have the talent to control spirits that can quickly make their spirit beasts stronger!
“Maybe he is gifted!”
Chen Mo answered casually.
At this time, the team leader Luo Jiangyue and two other players also came over.
Seeing Chen Mo, Luo Jiangyue breathed a sigh of relief.
This time she specially recruited Chen Mo and made him the captain of the team participating in the World Championships, which was the result of her strong opposition.
If Chen Mo doesn't come, she will definitely be greatly affected.

The next day, the opening ceremony was held at the Kunlun Dojo, which is nearly 10,000 meters above sea level.
Similar to previous years, after the big guys spoke, the host began to explain the rules of this tournament.
There are 138 countries participating in this World Championship, with a total of 298 teams.
The schedule is divided into group matches and main matches.
The group stage is also called the points round, with a total of three rounds. This means that each participating team will play three games.
The format of the competition is very simple. Each team sends 5 players for a 2V2 battle.
As long as the players are not eliminated, they can stay on the field.
This competition system can fully demonstrate personal strength. In previous games, famous scenes of 1 wearing 3, 1 wearing 4 or even 1 wearing 5 often appeared.
After the opening ceremony, the competition committee announced the list of the first round of the group stage.
The names and emblems of the countries and schools to which each team belongs appeared on the huge light screen.
Chen Mo and others were staring at the match list on the screen, looking for the Dongxia dragon emblem and the school emblem of Baize University.
Baize University is named after the mythical beast Bai Ze, and its school emblem is naturally an ancient mythical animal pattern designed based on Bai Ze, which is simple yet majestic.
“Don’t ever meet our own team!”
Hao Lei prayed in his heart while searching.
In addition to Baize Yuling University, the schools participating in the World Championships in Dongxia include three other top Yuling universities - Shuidu University, Qingluan University and Yuzhu University.
The comprehensive strength of these three Yuling universities is very strong.
Among them, Shuidu University was the runner-up in the last College Student Yuling Championship. Several of the players participated in the previous championship. This time, they are obviously aiming for the championship and are very strong.
More importantly, he hopes that the four Dongxia teams can enter the main competition together and meet at the top.
It’s a bit too early for “infighting” now.
“Found it! Our opponent in the first round is the Stealth Shadow University of Stealth Country.”
Xia Bowen said excitedly.
If he were asked to choose the three countries he hates the most, one of them would definitely be the secret country.
The country of Stealth is originally called the Country of Shadows, and the totem beast of its faith is the Shadow Rat.
The spiritual masters in this country always like to "appropriate" the culture of other countries or various discoveries and scientific research results in the spiritual realm as their own, focusing on a "spiritual victory." This behavior is naturally looked down upon by many other countries.
So we were able to draw the secret country in the first battle, and everyone was very satisfied with the result.
“This battle can’t be lost! I’m going to blast these sneaky monsters!”
Hao Lei has a high fighting spirit, and he is obviously a middle-aged boy.
“Don’t underestimate the strength of the Secret Kingdom. The Secret Shadow University is the top Yuling University in their country, and maybe there will be a few sixth- and seventh-year college students this time!”
Xia Yuemei said seriously.
Shadow Country's "tricks" in the World University Championships can be said to be basic operations.
In the World University Championships more than ten years ago, they sent many players who looked very "mature" and successfully won the championship in that session.
After being reported, the competition committee sent people to investigate and found that these so-called college students were actually spiritual masters who had graduated more than ten years ago, and each of them was only 40 years old.
Because of "falsification", the results of the Stealing Shadow Country were canceled and sentenced to a 10-year ban.
Of course, in their country, they have always claimed that the competition committee has a shady secret, so their results were cancelled.
During the 10 years of being banned, several of the top Yuling universities in the Shadow Kingdom quietly changed their combat departments into 7-year or even 8-year courses.
Then just when they were preparing to "come back" and once again take advantage of the loopholes in the rules to "make a big splash".
Unexpectedly, a "Chen Meng" was killed.
The combat power of the two monarchs completely reduced their dimensions and crushed them.
As a result, they were eliminated early in the group stage.
Five students in their seventh year and eighth year were thrown into the gauze by freshmen, which can be described as a humiliation.
The next year, the competition committee added a new rule that contestants must not be older than 25 years old.
Shadow Kingdom did not take this restriction seriously at all, and then once again mentioned the "5-year" ban.
This year is the first time that the Shadow Kingdom has participated in the College Spirit Taming Competition since the ban was lifted. I wonder what weird tricks they will do this time.
“Leave the first battle to me!”
At this time, Chen Mo took the initiative to speak.
“I’m confident that they won’t get a single point.”
He said confidently.
This time the group stage adopts a points system. Each time you eliminate a spiritual beast from the opposite side, you will get 10 points, and 30 points for each player you eliminate. The winning team in each round will receive another 100 points.
The 32 teams with the highest final points will advance to the top 32.
Hearing this, Xia Yuemei and others were silenced.
What he said makes sense! It's almost impossible to argue with that.
After all, I have seen with my own eyes that the combat power of the island spirit has reached the monarch level, and I heard that Chen Mo’s ace spirit beast is the wish-making white fox! Definitely stronger than the Island Spirit!
Isn’t that the combat power of a double monarch, a perfect replica of Chen Meng’s dream lineup?
Isn’t this championship sure?
“Brother Mo, I’m ready to win the championship while lying down!”
Thinking of this, Hao Lei said excitedly.
Before, he was still questioning Luo Jiangyue's decision, but now he has become a loyal supporter of Chen Mo.
Now if anyone dares to question the strength of Brother Mo, he will be the first to disagree!
—
At 9 a.m. the next day, the World University Championships officially started.
Sixteen 400-meter-long and 100-meter-wide standard arenas of the command level appeared in the sky of Kunlun Dojo.
This time all the battles will take place at an altitude of 10,000 meters!
Because it is a world-class competition, reporters and photographers from multiple countries appeared around almost every venue. They were riding on the backs of various flying spiritual beasts, reporting or explaining the game.
At the same time, spiritual masters from all over the world were holding small snacks and lying on sofas or beds to watch the game.
The World University Spirit Controlling Championship brings together the best young spirit control masters from all over the world. It is a contest and competition among young spirit control masters from all over the world.
The spiritual masters of every country hope that their players can perform well and show their national prestige!
The competition between Bai Ze University and Piying University is in the second round.
10 o'clock sharp.
“The 24th match of the group stage, the two teams will be Dongxia Baize Yuling University and Shadow Kingdom Shadow University!”
The commentator standing on the suspended platform announced loudly.
“It’s worth mentioning that we saw a very familiar name on the list of players from Baize University!”
The narrator paused for a moment, and then said passionately:
“His name is—Chen Mo!”
“This is an old acquaintance of mine, meow~”
Beside the commentator, the neon cat rubbed his colorful "gloves" and said with a smile:
"He won the championship in the gym competition in his first appearance! Later, he crossed fields and won the championship in the Green Chef Competition. In addition, he is the discoverer of the Shadow of Xun Lei and the evolutionary path of the Wish White Fox! This He is the spiritual master I look forward to the most, meow!”
“I wonder what kind of surprises he can bring us in this World Championships!”
At this moment, the director’s lens also showed Chen Mo just right.
“Holy shit! It’s really Chen Mo! What a surprise! I didn’t expect him to actually come to participate in the World Championships!”
“I remember during the gym competition, Wish White Fox’s combat power was only at the beginning of the leadership level. Is it too reluctant to be the captain of the Baize University team?”
“I like Tuan Tuan the most. I have played three times in the previous Soul Food Competition. Tuan Tuan is so cute and cute! Unfortunately, this competition is more about fighting, so I won’t see Tuan Tuan appear.”
The audience watching the game in front of the TV felt an inexplicable surprise in their hearts after seeing Chen Mo appear on the stage.
Xiaojiu, Tuan Tuan and Chen Mo are very famous and popular in Dongxia, even as good as some first-line spiritual master stars. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are top-notch.
Spirit masters from other countries have heard of this name more or less, but their understanding of him is still limited to the titles of "genius researcher" and "discoverer of Xun Lei Shadow".
Small shadow of the varsity team.
“I’ve heard of Chen Mo. Isn’t he a genius researcher from Dongxia? Why did he come to participate in the competition?”
One of the team members said doubtfully.
“Hehe, you are a young boy. I can only say that Baize University is worse than the previous one, and it actually allows researchers to participate in the competition.”
A girl with a high ponytail and fair skin sneered. She is Park Soo-yeon, the captain of the Stealth Shadow University team.
“This is a good opportunity for revenge! Xiba, if it weren’t for Bai Ze University, our seniors would have won the second championship!”
Beside Park Soo-yeon, a tall and thin boy with single eyelids said angrily.
“Captain, please let me play in person later. I want to torture these guys.”
To Park Soo-yeon’s left, a fat young man showed an evil smile.
“Jiang Minjun, given your strength, forget it! Xiuyan, let me do it!”
Several players want to be the starter and can't wait to "revenge" and show themselves!
"stop fighting!"
Park Soo-yeon said:
"Let me do it! I will kill them all myself. Let us wash away the humiliation suffered by our predecessors! In their Dongxia words, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years!"
"All right!"
Park Soo-yeon has absolute authority among these people. After she spoke, the others said nothing.
