The news of the National Competition was officially announced.
All of Xinghai University was buzzing with discussion.
Every university could enter the National Competition, but each had a limited number of places, and that number varied from one university to another.
As one of the Four Academies, the top universities in all of Xia Country, Xinghai University had been allotted 100 places in this National Competition.
The other three leading universities also received 100 places each.
Aside from those four, every other esper university received only 50 places.
This was preferential treatment, and rightly so.
The Four Academies were all among the strongest, in a completely different league from the other esper universities.
The ultimate purpose of the National Competition was to select capable individuals and send them into the Void Rift for training, making the strong even stronger.
The Void Rift held plenty of opportunities, but just as many dangers.
That meant not just anyone could enter the Void Rift. Only those with sufficient strength were allowed inside.
Otherwise, going in without enough strength was simply asking to die!
Students at other universities fell short of those at the Four Academies in both talent and strength, so naturally, they received fewer places.
Giving them more places when they lacked the strength would not only waste the spots available for entering the Void Rift, but also needlessly cost them their lives.
As such, it was reasonable for the Four Academies to receive more places.
Still, even with their larger allocations, there were nowhere near enough places for all the students at the Four Academies. They still had to compete to qualify.
Xinghai University had over a thousand students but only a hundred places, so competition was inevitable.
Of course, some did not have to compete-Zhou Fan, Lin Qianqian, and Zhao
