When it comes to being well-informed, Song Zhi, the Student Council, is undoubtedly the one. He immediately spilled out all the information he had just gathered.
Hearing this, Wan Ling exclaimed in surprise, "He can also become invisible?!"
Song Zhi glanced at her, paused, and said, "It's hard to say, but the ability to 'transform into nothingness,' combined with its extremely strong defense, makes it possible that attacks will have difficulty hitting the opponent."
Xia Yun, who firmly held onto Wen Jing's position as 'Right Protector,' also pondered, " Azure Jade's second-year ranking competition is a real-world match. Video recordings cannot truly reflect the special abilities of Awakened. Our information is limited, and we can only judge from the rankings that he dared to challenge Wen Jing, so he must have come prepared."
At this point, everyone couldn't help but worry about Wen Jing.
That Freshman League that 'deceived' all the players has been Analysis by various staff teams as a typical example of strategic application. Everyone knows that Wen Jing's stealth ability is optical invisibility with a collision volume.
This ability can be incredibly effective in large-scale battles, but its effectiveness is much less pronounced in one-on-one duels within a confined training area.
In particular, Zou Jie excels at area-of-effect attacks.
As a result, Wen Jing, the person involved, simply listened quietly and then asked, "Who was their first place?"
Song Zhi glanced at Wen Jing with slight hesitation, then said, "... It's Rong Feng."
After the Freshman League, because the competition process was extensively reviewed Analysis, many people focused on the final rounds.
The three opponents who were ultimately killed by Wen Jing using Decoy Beacon — Mo Lan, Rong Feng, and Colin —were actually opponents she wasn't confident she could defeat.
Since they never actually fought head-on, their combat strength is unknown and can only be guessed.
"Oh, it's him." Wen Jing remembered that the other player was in fourth place during the league season.
Although she would prefer to live in the villa of the First in the Grade, Rong Feng didn't challenge her, so there was nothing she could do.
Wen Jing thought for a moment and then asked, "Did they say when to call? Can it be before six in the morning?"
It's daytime in Azure Jade now, but nighttime in the Ancient Wilderness Era. Wen Jing hopes to finish the fight at night so it won't interfere with her daytime trip to the Ancient Wilderness to continue her daily routine of attacking the jellyfish.
Faced with this miraculous creature with which life and Symbiosis, she was afraid that if she missed even one day, she wouldn't be able to keep up with its recovery speed.
"Uh, I haven't said yet..."
As expected of Wen Jing, this is actually what he cares about most after listening.
But only a short while later, Song Zhi received a message: "They're here! They say we can challenge them now... Wait!"
His expression suddenly changed. "The other side proposed fighting inside the Suspended Falling Alloy arena!"
Not only Song Zhi, but several students from wealthy families in Ocher Soil also changed their expressions upon hearing this.
Xia Yun immediately spoke up, " Wen Jing, Suspended Falling Alloy— "
"I know, it will restrict the release of mental energy," Wen Jing answered quickly.
After completing the Complete Explanation of Mental Power Basics provided by Dean Fu, which includes not only methods of mental power attacks but also various theoretical knowledge related to mental power attacks.
The Suspended Falling Stone is a special material obtained from the Ancient Wilderness. Using mental energy around it will suppress it. When made into an alloy, it can be used to assist in training mental energy.
Thanks to the discoveries made Ancient Wilderness explorations, materials science in this era has reached an unprecedented peak.
There are actually quite a few materials similar to the Suspended Falling Alloy, such as the venue that Wen Jing experienced in the Ocher Soil Underground Arena, which could restrict external energy.
"No wonder you came prepared here!"
The surrounding crowd was both shocked and furious. Everyone knew that Wen Jing had another powerful attack method: mental attack. Zou Jie was good at defense, and fighting inside the Suspended Falling Alloy meant that Wen Jing's most effective attack method against Zou Jie was restricted.
Just then, the group that had provoked them earlier appeared outside the dormitory area, but instead of coming in, they shouted from outside:
" Wen Jing, our fifth-ranked student in the grade is challenging you. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
Since Wen Jing became Dean Bai's official student and signed some identity-related documents, his personal information privacy level has been greatly improved, and he no longer has to deal with the situation of having to block a large amount of information.
After arriving in Azure Jade, apart from the local academic affairs system and the internal group of exchange students from Ocher Soil, no other students could obtain her contact information.
Therefore, it must either be conveyed by someone else, or one must come in person like this.
At the entrance, the students from the Ocher Soil had been there received the news and gathered around, separated by the dormitory area's dividing line, like two armies facing off across a river.
"Choosing to fight in a suspended arena? That's shameless!"
"Can't accept defeat, huh?"
"That's because they can't accept defeat that they make such unfair demands!"
The Azure Jade group on the opposite side seemed to have anticipated the Ocher Soil group's reaction. "Fairness? We are all about fairness!"
"Since Wen Jing has set the terms of the duel, we should decide the location! Otherwise, why should we bet the right to live in the villa on her? She has nothing to lose if she loses."
The people of Ocher Soil angrily retorted, "You were the ones who provoked us first!"
Azure Jade retorted sharply, "She herself said she wanted the top ten in our grade to challenge us, right?"
"Besides, no one can use mental attacks in the suspended arena. Wen Jing can't, and neither can Zou Jie! Everyone is treated equally, so how is that unfair?"
"Besides, didn't she win that league championship by taking advantage of the circumstances?"
"Haha, that's right, if you're scared, you can just admit defeat!"
Everyone was furious, but couldn't find a suitable rebuttal. They wanted to come up with a counter-argument against Zou Jie, but they were limited by their lack of information about him.
In the time it took to say those two sentences, Wen Jing arrived.
As soon as she arrived, the crowd automatically parted to make way for her.
Everyone instinctively fell silent, even the Azure Jade group opposite them.
Wen Jing's first words were. "Has the Academic Affairs Office approved the change of residency?"
The Azure Jade group opposite them were stunned for a moment before reacting. "It's approved."
Since the issue involves the right to reside in a villa, the matter naturally escalates to the academic affairs department of the college, where permission is required.
Otherwise, if the villa rewards for the top ten students in the grade could be freely traded and transferred, they would lose their symbolic value.
Even if such a challenge or bet occurred within the academy, it wouldn't have been approved in the first place—why wait until now to use a challenge format when they couldn't win during the grade-level ranking matches?
It was only because Wen Jing was an exchange student from another college, and because the matter had become quite serious, that they were able to agree to it.
However, what surprised everyone in Azure Jade at this moment was Wen Jing's unspoken meaning.
"So... you agreed to fight at the Suspended Falling Alloy Arena?"
"Be careful, don't fall for their tricks," Ji Shuang quickly whispered, trying to dissuade her.
"It doesn't matter where we fight," Wen Jing said to her, then looked at the Azure Jade group opposite him. "Let's start as soon as possible, I'm busy during the day."
Everyone present was stunned, and their reactions varied. The Azure Jade group was naturally excited and overjoyed, while the Ocher Soil group was shocked and worried.
But the match was already decided, and given the fast pace of the interstellar era, it was finally agreed that the duel would begin in an hour.
Ten minutes before the start of the match, the two challengers arrived at Azure Jade's Suspended Falling Alloy arena.
This special venue, which helps to cultivate mental strength, is the only one of its kind in Azure Jade.
Of course, one is more than enough, because it tests one's comprehension too much, and there aren't many Awakened practice mental power techniques.
At this moment, a large number of Azure Jade students had gathered outside the venue. Even the academic affairs director, whom they had just met, was present to host the event, along with relevant logistics personnel. The setup was the same as that used for the recently concluded grade ranking competition.
" Laisa, Panch, Sharp... there are so many of the top ten second-year students here!"
"Wait, is that Rong Feng? The First in the Grade is here too!"
The venue was packed with over three thousand people, including a large number of second-year students and some from other grades—a huge number for Azure Jade's student body.
After all, not everyone stays at the academy after the second year; some are in seclusion practicing secret techniques. It's safe to say that almost everyone who knew about this came.
In contrast, even if all the exchange students from the Ocher Soil were present, there would only be fifty-two people at most, who could only occupy a small area.
The students from Ocher Soil, who were used to having a large number of people, were experiencing this feeling for the first time.
Wen Jing also entered the venue surrounded by the crowd from Ocher Soil.
Feeling the effect of the Suspended Falling Alloy here, she couldn't help but glance at the ground.
The interior configuration of this venue appears to be similar to other training grounds, with the Suspended Falling Alloy seemingly radiating from underground, covering the entire venue area.
As soon as the group of exchange students from the Ocher Soil appeared, all eyes in the venue turned to them.
"They're here! Wen Jing is here!"
Wen Jing raised his head and looked across the stadium, meeting a pair of eyes filled with intense fighting spirit—it was his opponent Zou Jie.
Tactical eyes appeared silently on the bridge of her nose, then silently disappeared.
[ Echo ]/[ Gaseous Transformation ]
Two purple indicators appeared above Zou Jie's head, and the light representing the intensity was probably at the level of the Frost Spider.
Looking at these two entries, Wen Jing understood why the other party had come to challenge her.
Please wait here.
In front of the inner field, a logistics robot specially set up for the match guides Wen Jing; each college has a very mature mechanism in this regard.
"Come on!"
Watching Wen Jing walk into the venue, the Ocher Soil group offered words of encouragement, but their expressions were quite worried.
If this challenge is lost, those who are already unhappy that Ocher Soil has produced a champion will be smug, and it will be a further blow to the reputation of the Red Earth Academy.
