Jinge City.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past few days, teams from other Academy have taken turns competing in one exciting match after another.

Among them, the most attention-grabbing is undoubtedly Qin Feng, a first-year student at the Tiannan Academy.

This young first-year student, already at the Advanced Level Two Realm, exemplifies what true genius is. Although Luo Yan is also dazzling, he pales in comparison to this student's brilliance.

Luo Yan himself didn't care about outside opinions; he was more concerned about the ' Desperate Battlefield '.

After the match against the Yishui Academy that day, the ' Desperate Battlefield ' sent back a group of students.

These were mostly students who were wounded or even killed on the Battlefield.

Fortunately, the third-year students of the Hundred Battles Academy were not on the death list for the time being. Only a dozen or so were injured and sent back to the Undercity for treatment.

These past few days, Luo Yan has been going to the hospital whenever he has free time to learn about the ' Desperate Battlefield ' from his senior classmates.

Through the descriptions of his seniors, Luo Yan got a general idea of what was going on.

The ' Desperate Battlefield ' is a hundred times more dangerous than the ' Forbidden Land '. It contains Upper-tier Giant Beast, which are relatively rare in the ' Forbidden Land ', as well as the ' Forbidden Land Master' Overlord Giant Beast.

They're regulars in the ' Desperate Battlefield '!

Especially the Upper-tier Giant Beast, they are just cannon fodder in the ' Desperate Battlefield '.

Overlord Giant Beast are everywhere. Although their numbers are not as exaggerated as those of Upper-tier Giant Beast, Overlord Giant Beast figures can still be seen from time to time, even on the edge of the Battlefield where the students are training.

In addition, the environment of the ' Desperate Battlefield ' is also very unfavorable to humans. The air is filled with a thick layer of Red Poison, and ordinary Battlefield can only ensure their safety by wearing biohazard suits.

Even without the Overlord Giant Beast unleashing its Super Anti-membrane, the environment of the Desperate Battlefield naturally suppresses Primal Energy, which invisibly inhibits most Mech Master.

In addition, various other harsh natural environments, such as poisonous swamps, mutated plants, and a large number of Giant Beast parasite, put enormous pressure on everyone fighting on the Battlefield, both physically and psychologically.

From the descriptions of his seniors, Luo Yan finally understood why it was necessary to immediately suppress the ' Misty Canyon ' as soon as it showed signs of advancing to 'Desperate Zone'.

Clearly, they are worried that 'Jedi' will turn into ' Desperate Battlefield '. Just one Battlefield requires a huge investment of manpower and resources. If another one is built, they may not be able to handle it.

In the blink of an eye.

The preliminary rounds of the Academy intercollegiate competition, involving eighteen colleges, have concluded, and the qualifying rounds will begin immediately. Since there are only nine teams in the qualifying rounds, Tiannan Academy, the champion of the previous Grand Sports Meet, automatically advances to the finals and does not need to participate in the subsequent events.

This is the right of the champions, and they have already demonstrated it once in the preliminary rounds, so no one doubts the strength of the Tiannan Academy.

In the qualifying round, Hundred Battles Academy faced off against the Zhengde Academy from Pingyao Underground City.

Due to the Hundred Battles Academy's outstanding performance in the preliminary rounds, Zhengde Academy adopted a cautious strategy, avoiding a "gauntlet" approach with their opponents, not to mention the "captain selection match".

As a result, both grades fought a 'team battle'.

In the end, the Hundred Battles Academy proved superior and advanced to the semifinals.

Their opponent will be Lingchuan Academy.

"Lingchuan Academy is from Fengxin."

Inside the hotel, Wei Fenghua introduced the basic information about the Lingchuan Academy to everyone.

"Fengxin is one of the earliest Undercity built among the Eighteen Northern Cities, but after the Giant Beast Calamity, a Forbidden Land appeared near Fengxin."

"This was an absolute crisis for Fengxin at the time, considering that the various Undercity had only recently been put into use, and the ' Giant Beast Strategy Department ' had not yet moved into Jinge City."

Therefore, Fengxin at that time could be described as isolated and helpless.

"Even so, Fengxin ultimately destroyed that Forbidden Land, paying an extremely heavy price, which affected Lingchuan Academy's resource allocation."

"However, perhaps it is this kind of experience that has shaped the students of the Lingchuan Academy into people who dare to fight, dare to struggle, and dare to die."

"Although the convention stipulates that killing is prohibited and opponents cannot be severely injured..."

"But it's not surprising that unexpected things can happen on the stage."

"Especially since students from Lingchuan are all tough and resilient, you must be extremely careful when you go on stage."

After Wei Fenghua finished speaking, he coughed a few times and went to the side to rest.

Second-year student Zhao Ping came over to add to the discussion.

"Based on the information we've received, there are a few top students at the Lingchuan Academy who require serious attention."

"For example, Que Tianji, a second-year student, comes from a prominent family in Fengxin. At the same time, the Que family also suffered the most casualties in the Battle of the Forbidden Land."

"Of this large family, almost all of the older generation perished in battle. Only the current patriarch, Que Tianji's father, Que Wanli, is still alive."

Que Wanli had four sons and three daughters; his eldest and second sons both died in the Battle of the Forbidden Land.

"Only the third son Que Buping, and the youngest son Que Tianji, are still alive."

"Que Tianji was physically weak and unpredictable from a young age, but he was extremely talented, skilled in Mystic Art, and possessed a high level of command ability."

"If I'm not mistaken, the second-year students will probably propose a 'team battle' then."

After Zhao Ping finished speaking, Liu Ruohan came up.

"As for the first-year students at the Lingchuan Academy, there are two students who deserve our attention."

"One is Liu Wangyue. Although she is a first-year student, her combat strength is not weak. She has just broken through and advanced to the Intermediate Level Four."

"The other one is Zhang Tianyi, Intermediate Level Two Realm. He is skilled with a fast sword, usually using a Japanese Sword sword. His signature move is ' Swift Blade Draw.' Moreover, he has a very volatile temper and a highly aggressive fighting style. In some ways, he is even more dangerous than Liu Wangyue."

At this moment, Wei Fenghua walked over with a thermos containing goji berries. "Regarding the competition mode..."

"My suggestion is that the second-year students should play a series of matches or a captain's decision match, and avoid playing team matches against Lingchuan."

"That would allow Que Tianji to make the most of his strengths."

"Of course, Lingchuan Academy will definitely not agree. When the opinions of the two team captains cannot be reconciled, they will draw lots to decide which side's opinion to adopt."

"At that point, we could only leave it to fate."

Wei Fenghua then looked at Luo Yan: "For the first-year students, either competition mode is fine."

"Lingchuan has two top-tier combatants, Liu Wangyue and Zhang Tianyi, while we have Luo Yan and Lin Wei. We won't lose to them in terms of high-end combat power. In fact, Luo Yan alone can easily defeat both Liu and Zhang."

"Therefore, it doesn't make much difference to us which mode we play."

"If you want to keep it simple, play a 'Captain's Choice' game; if you want to play it safe, play a 'team battle.' You guys can decide what to do."

"Well, Bohang can take some time to do some analysis and then discuss it with everyone."

Based on his performance in the preliminary round, the first-year students now highly recognize Li Bohang's analytical and reasoning abilities.

No one objected upon hearing this.

Finally, Wei Fenghua smiled and said, "Get some rest, and then, play a great game."

"I believe in you, and I don't think you'll stop here."

"Keep pushing forward, don't look back, keep moving forward, and see the view from a higher vantage point!"
