Chapter 53 Showdown (I)

Ranked 20th is a student from No. 18 Middle School.

As the best among the eighteen, he was very dissatisfied when he was ranked last.

It is true that during the melee and resurrection matches, he encountered some members of the clan who were stronger than him.

However, his elemental followers were naturally immune to most physical attacks, and they always had the upper hand in previous exams or competitions.

In this competition, as soon as he entered the battlefield, he sent out all his followers, ready to perform well and let the audience, especially the true gods of the Ministry of Education, see how he could compete with the first place.

Well, he still has this little bit of self-awareness, but he can't say that he can make a comeback and get the first place.

So when the opponent in the air opposite him saw his clan and said that he only needed to send one clan member to defeat him.

He began to get angry, thinking in his mind how he could take advantage of the other party's arrogance and teach him a lesson.

You know, he was born with the priesthood of fire and burning.

In order to better exert his combat effectiveness, he directly chose to possess his only extraordinary-level fire element leader, thinking that he would give him a ruthless blow as soon as the other party appeared.

Soon, a shadow loomed over him.

"Hehe! Flying clans are amazing."

"I'm sorry, although the fire element can't fly, its air attack range is not short, not to mention the existence of the extraordinary level."

While muttering to himself, he released the divine fire spell - burning without even raising his head, and attacked upwards.

"You want to wait for me to look up and confirm the target so that you can attack first? You're dreaming. My practical training classes were not in vain."

As he spoke, he launched several attacks in succession, controlling all the fire elements to attack together.

At this time, he looked up with a sense of superiority, and at the same time moved to prevent the opponent's followers from falling and hitting him.

When he raised his head, he immediately grabbed the non-existent neck.

With a slender body and neck, if you ignore the two wings that are slightly longer than the body when spread out, it looks very much like a lizard.

However, as a professional god, he certainly would not fail to recognize what the other party was.

"It's over! Red Dragon!"

With just one glance, he immediately gave up the desire to resist, even though the opponent was just a red dragon, and a young dragon at that.

"What a pity! I thought that no matter who he faced, the fight would be fierce, but he ran into the red dragon directly."

Guo Wenbin was bored, so he just started chatting with Zhou Wei.

As the leader of the five colored dragons, the red dragon not only automatically masters fire magic as its strength grows from birth, but is also naturally immune to low-level magic.

So even if it is a young dragon, when facing the fire element, it is really like a stone meeting an egg.

Even a super-human fire elemental leader is at most a boiled egg. Although harder than a raw egg, it is not that hard.

It was crushed to pieces by one claw of the red dragon.

This match lost its suspense early on, and the other back-to-back match was not even played, causing an uproar among the audience.

It was the Ministry of Education who spoke, and the student ranked 19th took the initiative to admit defeat and prepare to fully participate in the upcoming reserve group competition.

"I heard that the two of them graduated from the same high school and were in the same class. They knew each other's strengths, so the 19th place simply admitted defeat."

Wang Qiang looked very shocked yesterday, but just one night later, he became his nosy self again.

Guo Wenbin was not surprised. Unlike the public high schools directly under the temple, students could enter high school as long as they performed well in theoretical exams before junior high school.

So even in No. 1 Middle School, there are ten classes and three hundred students in one grade.

The affiliated high schools of several universities are different. They only recruit children of school faculty and staff, or children who are born with the seeds of gods or divine nature.

Therefore, there are relatively few students in each grade, and sometimes we may not be able to gather 30 students in a class in a year.

Because the affiliated high school has places for admission to university without examination, it sometimes does attract some outstanding students to study there.

In addition, the faculty and staff who are able to work in the university must be at least demigods, and most of them are true gods of various ranks. Naturally, their children and descendants are also strong.

No one knows when, but some people mistakenly believed that the students of the affiliated high school would be far stronger than the students of the high school directly under the temple.

In fact, this is a complete misunderstanding. Not to mention that the affiliated high schools are also under the jurisdiction of the temple, it only gives the right to recruit students to various universities. Even the universities in each city are nominally under the jurisdiction of the temple.

What's more, there are hundreds of directly affiliated high schools in one city, and at least twenty or thirty.

With so many students coming in, the number of outstanding talents every year cannot be compared with those from the affiliated high schools.

Just because the proportion of students from affiliated high schools is small, the success rate seems to be much higher.

Take this selection competition for example. It seems that the first, second and third places are all from affiliated high schools, but except for the first, second, third and fifth places in the top ten, the other six are from public high schools.

As for the bottom ten, except for one ranked nineteenth, the rest are all students from public high schools.

Ningcheng has four universities, which means there are four affiliated high schools. A total of five people from the four high schools were shortlisted in the top 20, and No. 1 Middle School, one of the schools, had four shortlisted people.

If we simply compare the numbers, it will be clear who is strong and who is weak.

As the results of the previous group of matches were announced, it was time for Zhuo Yiyi and Zhang Qiang to take the stage. Zhuo Yiyi was as cool as ever and walked towards the battle platform without saying a word.

Zhang Qiang, who was following behind her, also had a grim look on his face. Twenty students were ranked, and the members of the first twelve winning groups were all ranked in the top twelve.

He was the only one ranked 17th, lower than the five students who came out of the revival match. It would be strange if he could have a good face.

Because the temple stipulated that all students' battles could not be recorded, Guo Wenbin had not known much about Zhuo Yiyi and Zhang Qiang's families before.

Now watching the two of them getting ready to fight, he didn't even look at the harpy of the third person, Xu Ning, but focused his attention on the two of them, mainly because he wouldn't have a chance to fight against the third person.

As the two took their positions, Zhang Qiang's halfling appeared first.

About a thousand of them walked out in a mighty procession. They were less than one meter tall and all barefoot. If you didn't pay attention to the dense hair on their hands and soles that was far more than that of humans, they might be mistaken for a group of human children.

"There are only over a thousand? No wonder it ranks so low."
