Battle Against Southern Anhui
"Secondly, I don't intend to keep these Psionic Points. I will not invest in you again in the future."
"Third, you must never appear before me again, and never contact me," Zhao Yuting said coldly. "If you violate this third rule, then the second rule will automatically become invalid, and I will demand all your Psionic Points back."
Liu Fei was taken aback; this wasn't the script he had anticipated. He hurriedly said, "Yuting, I know I didn't do well enough and disappointed you... but I hope you can give me another chance, I promise..."
"Get out of the car." Zhao Yuting's two simple words were like a bucket of ice water poured over Liu Fei's skull.
"I..."
"Do I have to repeat myself?" Zhao Yuting said coldly. "Remember my third point. If you keep pestering me, I have a hundred ways to make you cough up all the Psionic Points you owe me! Get out of the car!"
Liu Fei got out of the car, looking lost and bewildered, watching the taillights of the red LaFerrari disappear from sight.
Walking into a bar outside the school, Liu Fei scrolled through his phone's contacts over and over again.
He had almost completely lost contact with his former classmates and friends. It seemed as if Liu Fei had gone from being a popular figure on campus to a nobody overnight.
Xiao Mingsheng, who was also expelled, seemed to be the only one who could stick together for warmth. However, Xiao Mingsheng seemed to harbor resentment towards Liu Fei, feeling that Liu Fei was responsible for his expulsion, and he had been ignoring Liu Fei these past few days.
Suddenly, a name caught Liu Fei's eye at the back of his contacts.
"Wu Guangming?"
As if possessed, Liu Fei dialed Wu Guangming's number...
Bai Xiaowen led the team in a brief training session to get them used to each other's skills.
Coach Guan Zhongliu, who is usually elusive, also appeared, originally intending to help the University Team practice some tactics and provide some guidance on the game. However, facing such Zhi Qi team, Guan Zhongliu's previous experience was of little use.
So Coach Guan came to the training base, but left the school a few days later.
Bai Xiaowen and other members of the University Team have gotten used to days without a coach, which is the norm in the College Students League. Unlike professional teams, College Students League do not rely on teamwork and tactics as frequently, and depend more on the individual performance of the students.
The reason is that university University Team are only temporary teams. After graduation, everyone signs with different guilds and goes their separate ways. Spending a lot of time training each other's teamwork is not very meaningful and will only delay individual level progress.
The five members of the University Team are not a team in the strict sense of the Spirit Realm Rules. They rarely venture into the Spirit Realm together. Often, member A goes to the Spirit Realm this month, and member B or C goes next month... The five of them rarely have time to train together, so they certainly don't have the conditions to practice complex tactics. Forcing them to practice would actually have the opposite effect.
Through daily training and practice, Bai Xiaowen and the other four members have all improved their Battle Specialty and abilities.
The date for the first round of the CUAA National Championship has finally arrived.
As the top team in the Jianghai division, Jinghai University has the home advantage in the first round of the competition. They will face the visiting Wannan University team at Jinghai University.
The CUAA National Championship often involve cross-regional matches, so transportation isn't like during the qualifiers where you can drive an off-road vehicle to and from the venue.
For universities that are far apart, they usually travel to the target base city via teleportation. Although the teleportation fee is considerable, it is negligible for top universities.
The competition was scheduled for Saturday, and the auditorium of Jinghai University Jinghai University was packed with students.
Banners were hung up, colorful flags fluttered, and the cheers of many Jinghai University students in the stands were unified under the direction of the conductor's baton. The home team's momentum was still very strong.
However, this is different from a football match in another time and space. The two teams are fighting in another space and will not be affected by external factors. The away team may have a certain psychological disadvantage, but it is by no means as terrifying as a football match with a hostile home ground.
The cheering stopped after both teams arrived and the host took the stage.
Today's host is Bai Yanni, the captain of the Jinghai University cheerleading team. This surprised many people, because the host for Jinghai University's home games has always been the team leader, Zhao Yuting.
Bai Xiaowen heard that Zhao Yuting was feeling unwell and had given up hosting the event.
Awakened beings don't get sick, so feeling unwell is probably just an excuse. Based on Bai Xiaowen's personal deduction, Zhao Yuting is probably upset that the University Team kicked Liu Fei, whom she had always supported.
Even though he knew the reason, Bai Xiaowen didn't take it to heart. He wasn't going to indulge this spoiled young lady's desires...
In contrast, Bai Yanni was much more mature. Although Bai Xiaowen stood her up last time, she would still try to get close to him by being overly attentive and making all sorts of provocative hints whenever she saw Bai Xiaowen.
However, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were always seen together, leaving Bai Yanni with very few opportunities.
If Li Shuyi were to make a list of people she dislikes, Bai Yanni and Zhao Yuting would probably be in the top three, with Bai Yanni possibly ranking even higher. Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen was clearly not interested in this flirtatious senior from her own clan, which put Li Shuyi at ease.
"Hello everyone, the first round of the National Championship of the 1997 Spirit Origin Era China University Awakener League is about to begin. I am your host, Bai Yanni, and it is an honor to host this round of the competition."
"This round of matches will be played in an entertainment format. Some match modes differ slightly from Professional League, but this will not affect the viewing experience."
"Now, I will explain the rules of the competition to everyone..."
Bai Yanni wore delicate, light makeup and had done her homework for hosting the competition, memorizing her script beforehand. She first explained the six competition formats in concise and accurate language, and then introduced the competition process.
Yan Xiaoxin was relieved. She had been worried that without Zhao Yuting, Bai Yanni might make a mistake if she was rushed into the role.
After the rules and procedures were explained, the competition officially began, entering the first guessing round.
Duanmucheng, the captain of Wannan University, guessed heads, while Bai Xiaowen automatically chose tails. The result was heads, Bai Xiaowen first disabled one of the game modes.
"I choose to disable Conquest Mode in SOLO Mode."
Bai Xiaowen's banning of this mode has become a convention. In Conquest Mode, no matter how strong Bai Xiaowen is, he can only win one game, which is obviously not enough in the total of five SOLO matches.
Next up is Duanmucheng, who is banned.
"I choose to disable the SOLO Mode's King of the Hill Mode."
Duanmucheng gave an answer he had expected without hesitation.
Sorry for the late update...
