Chapter 135: Malicious Teaming Up? Alliance Between Schools.
Teams spread throughout the entire Grand Secret Realm received this message.
All of them were shocked at first, then turned to immense joy and excitement.
Natural Creation Grass.
An S-grade medicinal material!
Essential for making S-grade and A-grade Eternal Pills!
Even if taken alone, it can cleanse the muscles and bones, greatly improving one's physical fitness, while also greatly increasing one's own four-dimensional attributes.
No one expected the Dragon Nation's Ministry of Education to be so willing to spend money. The first phase of the survival circle had not even shrunk, and such precious medicine was used as a tournament reward!
"It seems that after this points battle, it is very likely that half or even more of the teams will be eliminated..."
Ji Wuming said with a serious expression.
The rest of the geniuses also nodded slowly in agreement.
An S-grade medicinal material, not to mention them as rookies in their twenties, even the strong at the third or fourth tier would be tempted when they saw it.
This also indicates the preciousness of such medicinal materials.
So, teams from other academies will definitely not give up easily and are bound to come and compete.
By then, it will also mark the first large-scale melee of the exchange competition!
Ling Zhan calmly opened the electronic information template.
An electronic map appeared in front of everyone.
Then, he searched for the coordinates of D7 (2300, 4700).
It was found that the coordinates were for a large factory that had been abandoned for who knows how many years.
At that time, hundreds of teams will gather here for the first time.
The coordinates are hundreds of kilometers away from Ling Zhan and the others.
It is indeed an abandoned big city that once had a population of tens of millions.
At this moment, the sky has already darkened.
Mechanical arm claws and venomous insects began to drift through the streets and buildings.
The roars of zombies and demonic beasts were heard frequently.
Appearing gloomy and terrifying.
"Let's go."
Ling Zhan didn't waste any words and led everyone directly towards the coordinates.
In his eyes, whether it was a big melee or mutual slaughter.
It didn't matter.
And that piece of Natural Creation Grass was destined to be collected by him.
This time on the journey.
Ling Zhan did not travel alone with the wind.
Instead, with a light tap of his staff, he once again demonstrated his unfathomable and immense power.
Nine gusts of wind tightly surrounded each teammate, and then these gusts of wind lifted everyone into the air, rushing towards the coordinates.
...
Area D7 (2300, 4700).
This is a large abandoned factory covered with vines and fungal mats.
Hiss...
Countless small poisonous snakes curled up in the darkness, their crimson eyes staring everywhere.
A foul stench belonging to a snake's nest permeated the air.
And in the center, the huge factory building had long been collapsed by a giant snake egg.
A giant egg, ten meters high, stood tall, surrounded by countless demonic snakes circling around it, emitting excited hisses from their mouths.
As if they were about to welcome their queen's arrival.
At this moment.
At the entrance of the factory.
Buzz!!
Spatial fluctuations spread out, and the ground revealed a series of array patterns.
The next second.
Hundreds of figures actually appeared!
These hundreds of figures were wearing school uniforms from various schools, but strangely, instead of fighting, they were talking and laughing with each other.
The nano-cameras scattered around the abandoned factory captured this scene clearly and transmitted it to the viewing area outside.
"This is... forming an alliance?"
"Oh my god, the new student teams from dozens of major academies are joining forces?"
"Isn't this considered malicious teaming up...?"
In an instant.
There was a commotion in the audience stands.
And the commentators were a bit confused.
However, the leaders of various schools sitting in the VIP box showed no sign of being upset.
"President Liu, isn't this already malicious teaming up?"
The dean of Bingpo Academy couldn't help but remark.
But at this moment.
A leader of a second-rate academy smiled calmly and said, "President Situ, I don't remember the rules of this competition saying that schools are not allowed to form alliances, right?"
Upon hearing this, President Situ's expression froze.
Yes.
It seems that the rules of this competition are very free.
It only explicitly prohibits maliciously killing the Origin Spirit Body.
Other than that.
There are almost no other constraints.
President Liu didn't expect that the teams from these second-rate academies would actually start to team up!
Moreover, judging from the attitudes of the leaders of these second-rate academies, it seems that they had known about it early on.
Or, it is very likely that they all tacitly agreed to it!
In fact, it is possible that from the moment the rules of the competition were announced, they might have been in contact with each other to form alliances.
In theory.
Such alliance behavior is shameful.
But these second-rate academies have their reasons for doing so.
The reason is simple.
In recent years, the top 30 of the freshman exchange competition has long been dominated by the TOP 10 schools and first-rate academies.
This has also led to the Dragon Nation's Ministry of Education's resources being heavily skewed towards these schools.
Second- and third-rate schools receive very few resources.
In fact, it is said that some teachers in second- and third-rate schools are almost only second-tier experts.
In fact, it's quite sad.
Students from top and first-rate academies can almost all achieve the second-tier by the end of their sophomore year.
But students from second- and third-rate schools mostly only have the opportunity to attempt the second-tier in their senior year.
The lack of experience and teacher resources.
Combined with the embarrassing performance in the annual exchange competition.
Has led to a decreasing number of students each year.
If this continues.
These second- and third-rate schools will never have a chance to rise.
But this year's major changes in the competition rules have finally given these second- and third-rate schools a glimmer of hope.
Although doing so will attract criticism from the outside world, they also have reasons they must do it!
As long as they can achieve a better ranking in the exchange competition, the Dragon Nation's Ministry of Education will definitely reward them with resource-secret realms!
The champion school will receive five secret realms of Level 30 or higher.
The second-place school will receive four secret realms.
The third-place school will receive three secret realms.
The remaining top 30 schools will receive two secret realms each.
The top 50 schools will receive one secret realm each.
The schools below the top 50 will receive some material and pill rewards.
Overall,
These second- and third-rate schools must join forces to kick out all the teams from top-ranking and first-rate schools.
Any school that receives a secret realm reward will greatly improve the average level and strength of their entire student body.
This is also why the leaders of those top-ranking and first-rate schools, upon seeing this scene unfold, are likely...
At most, they would just say a few words.
But they wouldn't harp on about how forming an alliance is unfair.
Because...
If it were any leader from a first-rate school in the position of these second and third-rate schools, they would do the same.
Facing criticism and complaints, so what.
But as long as they can bring a secret realm resource to their own school, it is a huge improvement for all students!
To outsiders, these school leaders are shameless and despicable, openly advocating for student alliances.
But for the students of their own schools, these leaders are bearing the stigma in order to fight for educational resources for them.
Therefore.
President Liu also calmly transmitted to the commentators and referees:
"The alliance does not violate the rules of the competition."
"Therefore, the teams from these allied schools are participating in the competition normally, without any violations."
This is the pride of a top-tier school.
It just so happens that the alliance of other schools can also test the teams from top-tier schools.
They are now faced with how to deal with this alliance of nearly a thousand people.
The audience outside heard the announcement from the organizers.
But they became even more excited.
Interesting!
In the past, it was always the top schools that dominated the top 10 of the exchange competition.
With the teams from various schools forming alliances this year, can these top schools still easily win the championship?
