"What's the competition?" Dongfang Yujun's face bloomed with a casual and indifferent smile, showing his interest in the proposal.
"This time, our main goal is to guide the freshmen in completing the mission. We will compete to see who can complete the mission faster. During the hunting mission against the demonic beasts, we, the senior students, won't interfere. What do you think?" Cui Haoyan suggested.
Dongfang Yujun's gaze fell on Baili Hongzhuang. "Hongzhuang, what do you think?"
"Our mission this time is to hunt down the Iron-armored Rhino and obtain its hide armor."
The Iron-armored Rhino had a strength equivalent to the mid-stage of the Human Profound Realm, which was comparable to Baili Hongzhuang's strength.
Demonic beasts possessed greater power and defense than humans, making it not easy for a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Profound Realm to kill an Iron-armored Rhino.
"No problem."
Baili Hongzhuang's voice was clear and pleasant, without hesitation in her response.
Seeing Baili Hongzhuang's decisive answer, a smile appeared in Cui Haoyan's eyes.
The freshmen always underestimated the strength of the demonic beasts, especially Baili Hongzhuang. She registered as a mercenary only after coming to the academy, so dealing with an Iron-armored Rhino was not an easy task.
"Our mission is to hunt down the Stonecat Beast, which is of similar strength to the Iron-armored Rhino."
Cui Haoyan looked at Bai Junyu. He proposed this suddenly without informing Bai Junyu beforehand.
"I have no problem with that."
Bai Junyu's handsome and refined face broke into a sunny smile, revealing a row of neat, fair teeth.
This was an opportunity to demonstrate his strength. If he refused, there might be no chance for him to integrate into this group in the future.
Therefore, he couldn't refuse, nor did he want to refuse.
A satisfied glimmer flashed in Cui Haoyan's eyes. "Since that's the case, let's set this competition."
Zhan Yunfeng's eyebrows revealed a hint of interest, and she suggested, "Since it's a competition, let's add some stakes, shall we?"
"Go on."
Gong Shaoqing's expression was cold and ruthless. His indifferent gaze swept across Zhan Yunfeng's face, his handsome and three-dimensional features exuding a deep self-confidence.
He remained economical with his words, simply uttering one word, yet it carried a sense of arrogance and arrogance, as if the outcome had already been determined.
Zhan Yunfeng clearly understood Gong Shaoqing's character. This attitude, which seemed impolite in the eyes of others, didn't bother her at all.
"The winner will receive the combined points of both teams, and... each of our senior students will contribute five hundred points. How about that?"
Zhan Yunfeng's lips curved slightly, her beautiful and spirited face brimming with interest. This kind of competition was the most capable of stirring their passion.
They didn't have much knowledge about Baili Hongzhuang's strength, but Bai Junyu, as a cultivator in the late stage of the Profound Realm, had always been among the outstanding students in previous specially recruited batches.
"Alright."
Gong Shaoqing didn't hesitate in the slightest. His voice was firm and confident.
With Gong Shaoqing making the decision, Dongfang Yujun and Liu Qinyue didn't question it at all. It was evident that the team had already formed an absolute tacit understanding.
Baili Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow slightly. She didn't know that Gong Shaoqing had such confidence in her.
From Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, she had already learned that Bai Junyu was a cultivator in the late stage of the Profound Realm, surpassing her strength by a slim margin.
Dealing with the Iron-armored Rhino with mid-stage Profound Realm strength posed a considerable challenge, but dealing with the Stonecat Beast with late-stage Profound Realm strength would be much easier.
This was not an entirely fair competition to begin with.
Although she didn't know what significance the five hundred points held, she vaguely understood from Zhan Yunfeng's attitude that it was not a small amount.
