Chapter 61: Hey Hey Hey, Little Sister Wang Ke, You Can't Do It Either

All teams were eliminated by No. 8 and No. 16 Middle Schools and returned to the lobby.

The debate over whether there was cheating in No. 8 and No. 16 Middle Schools had never stopped.

Those who believed there was no cheating argued fiercely, insisting that the equipment was obtained through formal channels by No. 8 and No. 16 Middle Schools. They claimed there was no cheating and that the current rankings must be maintained.

On the other hand, those who believed cheating had occurred insisted that it was impossible for anyone to obtain such a vast amount of top-quality, rare-level, or even epic-level equipment in the joint training.

Even if the most powerful genius undead summoner in the history of Dayan City returned, it would still be impossible.

As the quarrel escalated, many participants who had previously reported the alleged cheating realized that their own rankings were now higher than expected. Some immediately withdrew their reports, rebelling against their initial stance.

The scene turned into complete chaos.

Director Yang of the Education Bureau, watching the argument unfold, felt a dull pain in his head.

"Alright, stop arguing. Now that you are all out, only two alliance teams remain—No. 8 Middle School and No. 16 Middle School. According to the training system settings, the third phase of joint training has already started ahead of schedule.

The final clearing boss of this joint training is a Level 20 Demon Mage. The military specially captured it from the frontline battlefield. It is a powerful beast in the truest sense. Even well-trained soldiers in the army can find themselves in serious danger when facing it.

Against such a boss, No. 8 and No. 16 Middle Schools will not last more than 10 minutes.

Whether they cheated or not, we will know at a glance when they return and we retrieve the footage from their energy crystals."

After Director Yang finished speaking, the noisy scene gradually quieted down.

Everyone understood that there was no point in arguing anymore.

Especially since the final boss was a Level 20 Demon Mage, a frontline disaster beast that could only be encountered after graduating from college.

It wouldn't even take ten minutes—at most, in just three to five minutes, No. 8 and No. 16 Middle Schools would be eliminated.

Whether they cheated or not, the truth would be revealed once their energy crystals were retrieved and examined.

---

At that moment...

The principal of No. 16 Middle School, Principal Dong, had already moved to stand beside Principal Huang of No. 8 Middle School.

At this stage of the joint training, there was no doubt that their schools were the only two allies remaining.

If no cheating had occurred, then according to joint training rules, because of their alliance, both schools would have survived to the end, tying for first place in the city—a historic achievement in Dayan City.

This would also mean gaining top priority in the distribution of the city's educational resources. If they maintained this advantage and continued their collaboration, they might even surpass No. 1 Middle School one day.

However, Principal Dong was not entirely sure whether they had actually cheated or not.

He didn't fully understand No. 8 Middle School or Xu Yan, so now that he was here, he wanted Principal Huang to give him some reassurance.

Was this a huge victory or a disaster waiting to happen? He needed to be mentally prepared.

"Old Huang, do you think our students cheated?"

"First of all, let me make it clear—I swear on my personal honor that No. 16 Middle School had absolutely no intention of cheating.

Furthermore, although Zhou Min comes from a wealthy family, obtaining some top-tier rare equipment is not a challenge for her.

But I know Zhou Min very well.

She will do whatever it takes for the team's benefit, but all her methods are within the rules.

From her first year of high school to her second year, she has always walked the fine line, but she has never crossed it.

She is extremely precise.

It runs in her family.

So, I don't believe for a second that Zhou Min personally cheated."

After Principal Dong finished speaking, Principal Huang did not respond immediately.

He was still confused.

The more he thought about it, the more he started to believe that, as incredible as it seemed, Xu Yan might have achieved this through pure strength.

In the first stage of joint training, Xu Yan had originally planned to exploit the invincibility trait of the Tree World Descendant skill to steal the melee beast boss and gain an overwhelming equipment advantage over the other teams.

But the current outcome was far more exaggerated than expected.

Not only had the high-level melee disaster beasts vanished, but all high-level disaster beast bosses had disappeared as well.

They didn't just get a lot of top-tier rare equipment; they even acquired epic gear.

And to top it all off, they teamed up with No. 16 Middle School to eliminate No. 1 Middle School.

How did this happen?

He couldn't figure it out.

But one thing was certain—the collective disappearance of high-level disaster beast bosses was highly likely related to Xu Yan.

As for cheating?

Principal Huang knew that was impossible!

Even if No. 8 Middle School wanted to cheat, there were strict requirements for it.

To cheat in joint training, a school would need to provide massive amounts of high-tier equipment and hack into the training system—neither of which was remotely easy.

He had already looked into it before and found that to successfully cheat, you'd need millions of dollars and elite-level hackers.

No. 8 Middle School had neither.

Xu Yan was a poor student living in a rented house.

Cheating?

What the hell would he cheat with!?

---

Principal Huang wanted to tell Principal Dong the truth but hesitated.

After holding back for a long time, he finally spoke:

"Principal Dong, I don't know why things have turned out this way.

But I can tell you for certain—No. 8 Middle School did not cheat.

Furthermore, the reason we sent three non-combat life professions into training wasn't because they were useless.

Although Xu Yan is a farmer, his agriculture-related skills have undergone serious mutations, giving him invincible close-combat capabilities.

In reality, he is our true ace.

And all his teammates were handpicked by him.

His only goal was to steal all high-level melee beast bosses in the joint training.

The disappearance of the high-level melee disaster beast bosses?

That was Xu Yan's plan all along.

But even I can't explain why all the high-level disaster beast bosses disappeared together.

This is far beyond our expectations.

So honestly, I'm a little confused right now—can you understand that?"

---

After listening, Principal Dong's breathing became rapid.

Although No. 8 Middle School hadn't expected this outcome, one thing was clear—they had no intention of cheating from the beginning.

More importantly, the mysterious disappearance of the high-level disaster beast bosses had actually been Xu Yan's plan from the start.

If that were true,

Then, with high certainty, the current rankings and results were final and irreversible.

Realizing this, Principal Dong trembled with excitement.

No. 16 Middle School… might truly be on the rise!

---

Five minutes passed.

The final boss, the Level 20 Demon Mage, should have already eliminated the students.

The results would be revealed at any moment!
