Chapter 49: Truce? Now Our No. 8 Middle School Disagrees!

No. 1 Middle School's Final Verdict
Wu Chengyuan and his team had made up their minds.
There was no way No. 8 Middle School could have obtained:
Full Six-God rare-tier equipment for all members.
An EPIC-tier item.
No matter what tactics they used—
It was impossible.
There was only one explanation—
They had cheated.
---
The Theory of Cheating
Fraud in joint training was rare,
But it had happened before.
There were cases where:
Special space transmission methods had been used.
Equipment had been smuggled into the training grounds.
External interference tampered with boss spawns.
Given that all high-level bosses mysteriously disappeared in Phase 1,
No. 8 Middle School was the prime suspect.
---
The Dilemma
But there was a problem.
The joint training was still ongoing.
No. 1 Middle School couldn't contact the outside world.
There was no way to report No. 8's "cheating" yet.
If they waited until the end,
Even if No. 8 Middle School was disqualified,
The damage would already be done.
---
The Harsh Reality
Wu Chengyuan analyzed the situation.
He had originally thought No. 8 Middle School only had one to three rare items.
That would have been manageable.
His plan was:
1. Tank Wang Ke's thunder attacks.
2. Take out Xu Yan first.
3. Win the battle with superior tactics.
---
But Now?
With all four members of No. 8 Middle School fully equipped with rare-tier gear,
It completely changed the fight.
Their overall stats were absurdly high.
Even if Wang Ke's thunder was tanked, Xu Yan might still survive.
Even their "non-combat" teammates were now tanky as hell.
This wasn't just about absorbing Wang Ke's attacks.
This was about:
"Can we even kill them?"
---
The Only Logical Choice
If they fought now…
Even if No. 1 Middle School won,
They would suffer severe losses.
If they lost too much strength here,
They would risk losing the championship altogether.
---
Wu Chengyuan's Decision
No. 1 Middle School had to change its approach.
Instead of fighting head-on,
They needed to regroup.
They needed to gather more teams—
And wipe out No. 8 Middle School together.
---
A Fake Truce
Wu Chengyuan shouted to Xu Yan from a distance:
"Xu Yan! Let's end this battle here!"
"I've decided to accept your earlier proposal!"
"How about we go our separate ways?"
---
Xu Yan's Smirk
No. 1 Middle School suddenly backing out?
Yeah, right.
---
No. 8's Realization
Before their equipment was revealed,
A truce made sense.
No. 1 Middle School saw them as a minor threat.
But now that their gear was exposed…
They were public enemy number one.
---
A Deadly Mistake
If Xu Yan let No. 1 Middle School go now,
They would only come back stronger.
They would regroup,
Form alliances,
And launch a full-scale attack later.
---
The Counterattack Begins
Xu Yan shook his head.
"Oh, so now you want a truce?"
"You were eager to fight before."
"And now that you're losing, you want to stop?"
"Sorry—No. 8 Middle School disagrees!"
---
"Wang Ke!"
"Kill the bard first!"
---
The Death of the Bard
Wang Ke understood immediately.
She activated her Lightning Field again—
And rose into the air.
---
Six consecutive thunderbolts fell.
The bard—completely trapped in the Tree World—
Couldn't escape.
---
He only managed to shout one word—
"Shit!"
Before he was instantly eliminated.
---
The Aftermath
The bard's protective crystal activated,
Teleporting him out of the battlefield.
He was not fully eliminated yet,
But his team had lost their only counter to invisibility.
---
Wu Chengyuan's Frustration
Wu Chengyuan gritted his teeth.
The Holy Priest's teleport skill was on cooldown.
He couldn't save the bard in time.
Without him,
No. 16 Middle School's invisibility was completely unstoppable.
---
"Priest! Are your skills ready?!"
"Yes! But… the bard is dead."
Wu Chengyuan's face turned blue.
"Then save the others, dammit!"
---
The Escape Begins
Four more golden circles appeared—
Saving:
Chen Haoyu (No. 2 Middle School)
Dong Fei (No. 13 Middle School)
Xu Erlong (No. 32 Middle School)
A random unlucky teammate
They were teleported to safety.
---
But the Rest Were Doomed
The ones who couldn't be teleported…
Were immediately wiped out by Wang Ke's charged lightning pillar.
---
Wu Chengyuan's Desperation
Wu Chengyuan had no choice left.
"RUN!"
Xu Yan released his Tree World control.
And shouted—
"Want to run?"
"You think we'll let you escape after seeing our secret?!"
"Brothers—chase them down!"
---
A Ridiculous Sight
And so—
A bizarre scene unfolded.
No. 1 Middle School—Dayan City's strongest team—was sprinting for their lives.
And chasing after them?
A group of "life profession" students in full combat gear.
---
Meanwhile…
Zhou Min continued leading No. 16 Middle School in evasive maneuvers.
Despite constant enemy attacks,
They refused to show themselves.
---
The Coalition's Frustration
"These No. 16 girls are TOO patient!"
"We're wasting time! Should we give up?!"
"I heard No. 1 Middle School is on a full-scale rampage.
They're wiping out anyone they see."
"Our real priority should be SURVIVAL!"
---
A Shift in Priorities
"If we get hit even once right now—"
"We're eliminated."
The Coalition reached an agreement.
Chasing No. 16 Middle School wasn't worth it anymore.
---
A New Mission
Forget No. 16.
The new priority was hiding.
And surviving until Phase 3.
