126 Academy League (3)
This guess was not impossible.
The ranking of the Academy League had an unparalleled impact on the reputation of the academies.
Once their ranking was good, they would naturally be favored by more and more students.
It would be very beneficial to the future development of the school.
Therefore, the top three academies, West Eagle, Red Snake, and Dark Moon, became the targets of the other academies.
Among them, the West Eagle Academy’s status was the most dangerous.
After all, it was the weakest among the three academies.
Thinking of this, everyone’s expressions could not help but become a little heavy.
On the screen.
The competition in Arena 3 had ended.
As expected, Luo Qiliang won and led Green Pine Academy to the top eight.
Half an hour later.
The other challenges also decided the outcome.
Not long after.
The academies that advanced obtained the list of the top eight.
What a coincidence.
Green Pine Academy was West Eagle Academy’s opponent.
After hearing this news, Shen Yi and the others could not help but look at each other.
“Since you’re right, go all out. Don’t underestimate your opponent.”
Li Peiliang clapped his hands to attract everyone’s attention.
“Alright, let’s explain the order of the competition. We’ll follow your ranking in the grade.”
Li Peiliang’s gaze swept across the four fourth-year students and finally saw Ye Fan.
“Ye Fan, you’re the last to go up.”
Before Ye Fan could say anything, Duan Shaoming smiled.
“Teacher, do you plan to send the weak first before sending the strong?”
“No.”
Li Peiliang looked a little strange.
“If Ye Fan is the first to go on stage, do you think you still have a chance?”
Everyone was stunned for a moment before they immediately smiled bitterly.
Zou Yong and the others had long learned about the tomb from Li Peiliang.
They knew that Ye Fan had once single-handedly killed two Rank-5 Fallen.
The dead Fallen were not new fifth-rank Beast Tamers who had just broken through like them.
However, they were ferocious and experienced Rank-5 powerhouses.
Zou Yong and the other two asked themselves. If they encountered a Rank 5 Fallen, they would probably be defeated in the end.
Self-protection had become a problem, let alone killing enemies.
As a result, they greatly admired and even revered Ye Fan.
With Ye Fan’s strength, if he was the first to go on stage, it was really possible for him to defeat five people alone and eliminate Green Pine Academy.
“Although our main goal is to win the competition, using the league to train you is also one of the goals, so we’ll give everyone a chance to play as much as possible.”
Li Peiliang glanced at Ye Fan and patiently explained.
Ye Fan nodded in understanding.
Actually, he was fine with it.
He joined the league to complete his mission.
As long as West Eagle Academy could get first place in the end, it would be fine.
Even if he didn’t go on stage, it would be better.
He could save some energy.
After discussing the order of appearance, the lounge fell silent.
Zou Yong and the other three sat on the chairs with their eyes closed.
Ye Fan looked at the LCD screen on the wall with interest.
The first match was broadcast live.
…
At the same time.
In the lounge of Green Pine Academy.
This was a festive atmosphere.
The five students were all smiling.
Successfully advancing to the top eight made them feel excited and ecstatic from the bottom of their hearts.
“It’s too easy. It’s not difficult to advance at all.”
“It’s all thanks to Qiliang.”
“Yes, Qiliang is too awesome.”
“If I had known earlier, I would have let Qiliang be the first to go on stage. He would definitely be able to defeat the opponent academy in a one-on-five battle.”
Luo Qiliang, who had become the center of everyone’s conversation, had a proud smile on his face as he waved his hand gently.
“I didn’t do it alone. It’s all thanks to everyone working together.”
As soon as he said this, the other students immediately praised him.
At this moment, someone walked into the lounge with the name list.
“The name list for the next match is out. Our opponent is West Eagle Academy.”
The chat in the lounge instantly fell silent.
Immediately after, there was an uproar.
“No way, what a coincidence?”
“How can I lie to you? The name list is here. Take a look for yourself.”
“It’s true.”
“Hey, this is perfect.”
The students looked excited.
Green Pine Academy’s goal in this league was to enter the top three and replace the West Eagle Academy as one of the three best academies.
They were originally worried that things would not go as smoothly as they had expected.
Unexpectedly, they bumped into their target in the top eight.
This time, their wish was finally fulfilled.
“As long as we defeat the West Eagle Academy, we can enter the top four. As long as we don’t encounter the Red Snake Academy or the Dark Moon Academy in the next round, we’ll definitely enter the top three.”
“That’s right. I didn’t expect us to be so lucky.”
“Speaking of which, West Eagle Academy is the group of people we met in the passageway just now, right?”
“That’s right. There doesn’t seem to be any particularly powerful guy.”
“Don’t let your guard down. The students of the West Eagle Academy are all at the fifth rank.”
“Our team isn’t bad either. Besides, with Qiliang around, we’ll definitely kill anyone who stands in our way!”
“You’re right.”
Everyone chatted happily.
From the corner of their eyes, one of them suddenly saw the teacher-in-charge, Xiao Tianming, lowering his head in deep thought. He frowned slightly and could not help but ask in confusion, “Teacher, what’s wrong?”
Hearing the voice, the other students also looked over.
Xiao Tianming came back to his senses and shook his head with a smile. He waved the name list in his hand.
“I’m fine. I just saw something strange.”
“What’s strange?”
“There’s a first-year student on the list of participants from the West Eagle Academy.”
The room fell silent.
After being stunned for a few seconds, everyone finally reacted to what Xiao Tianming had said. There was an uproar.
“No way? First-year student?”
“Is the West Eagle Academy crazy? They actually sent a first-year student to participate?”
“He hasn’t been in school for long.”
“Teacher, did the information go wrong?”
Xiao Tianming shook his head.
“I’ve asked. The list is correct. That student called Ye Fan is indeed a first-year student.”
“This is too unbelievable.”
Everyone was speechless.
“Isn’t there anyone else in the fourth grade? At the very least, there are third and second graders. Why did they choose a first-year student? No matter how powerful he is, that person is at most a Rank-2.”
Before Xiao Tianming could answer, a student seemed to have thought of something and suddenly exclaimed.
“Speaking of which, I think I’ve heard that the Champion of the West Eagle Academy this year seems to be a first-year student.”
As soon as he said this, the others were stunned.
“Eh, I think I heard about this too.”
“Isn’t that a rumor?”
“I thought so too at the beginning. Now, it seems that it might be true.”
“No way, the champion is a first-year student. This is too crazy.”
Seeing that the students’ discussion was getting more and more intense, Xiao Tianming had no choice but to clap his hands to attract everyone’s attention.
“Alright, ignore this.”
“Who cares what grade your opponent is? In any case, just do your best to deal with them.”
The students thought about it and smiled.
At this moment.
Luo Qiliang suddenly said, “Teacher, why don’t I go up for the first round?”
Xiao Tianming looked at him in surprise.
The other students clapped their hands excitedly. “Alright, let Qiliang go up. He’s so strong. If he goes on stage, he’ll definitely be able to defeat five people and directly eliminate the West Eagle Academy.”
“Haha, if we can really defeat the West Eagle Academy in one battle, our school will be extremely famous.”
Xiao Tianming could not help but be tempted. He pondered for a moment before nodding.
“Alright, you’re up for the first round. You must do your best.”
Luo Qiliang revealed a smug smile.
“Don’t worry, Teacher. I won’t disappoint you!”
