Chapter 256 The Great War
December 2nd, afternoon.
In the match between the First Military Academy and Tiannan Martial Arts University, facing Yao Chengjun's 700-hero mental power, even though Tiannan Martial Arts University was prepared, they were still defeated. Yao Chengjun almost effortlessly defeated the first four students of Tiannan Martial Arts University.
Anyone whose mental strength is inferior to Yao Chengjun's will be unable to withstand Yao Chengjun's mental attack and will be instantly sent flying by a spear.
After this battle, a new topic emerged online: who was the most skilled among Yao Chengjun, Li Hansong, and Fang Ping?
After all, the combat power of the three of them was clearly not on the same level as the other peak fourth-rank fighters.
Yao Chengjun possesses powerful spiritual strength, Li Hansong was born with a fully tempered skull, and Fang Ping has perfected his bone marrow and possesses boundless qi and blood. All three of them have unique skills that do not belong to this realm, so there is a constant debate online about who is the number one in the fourth rank.
Each has their own reasons, and on the surface, any of the three could win.
As a result, a video of an interview with Fang Ping circulated online that same afternoon.
In the video, when asked by a reporter who was the strongest among the three, Fang Ping said that the fourth rank can be divided into five levels. The fifth level is the middle stage of the fourth rank, the fourth level is the high stage of the fourth rank, the third level is the peak of the fourth rank, and the second level includes people like Li Hansong and Yao Chengjun, who are a level above the average peak fourth rank. As for the first level, he called it the invincible fourth rank. Although Fang Ping didn't explain what the fifth level was, according to his own classification, he didn't put himself in the second level, meaning that he was the invincible fourth rank and belonged to the first level!
After watching Fang Ping's interview, many people were secretly disgusted, thinking, "This guy is so arrogant!"
Fang Ping's five-tier division has sparked much discussion. If the three of them hadn't appeared, this division would undoubtedly have been met with widespread opposition.
However, seeing how easily Li Hansong and Yao Chengjun defeated the main players at the peak of the fourth rank, don't assume that the peak fourth rank players on stage are weak. They are also the most powerful people in each martial arts university, standing out from countless people. How could they be weak?
Therefore, many people agree with Fang Ping's classification of the second tier, after all, Li Hansong, Yao Chengjun, and Fang Ping have all demonstrated this level of strength.
However, they didn't quite agree with the first tier drawn by the opposing team, with many believing that all three were evenly matched.
Why is Fang Ping ranked in the first tier? With Fang Ping's five-tier division, everyone is even more excited about the three-way battle. This is the highest level of excitement besides the battle between Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang. Lu Hao felt that this division was normal. He thought that all realms could be divided like this. The second tier is for various resurrected martial artists, and the first tier is for overpowered individuals. After all, only overpowered individuals can achieve true invincibility at the fourth rank. Anyway, when he was at the peak of the fourth rank, he had no problem fighting Li Hansong and Yao Chengjun, who were at the same realm.
On December 3rd, in the final match of the first round of elimination matches, Beijiang Martial Arts University and Shanghai Women's Martial Arts University were evenly matched, almost evenly splitting the score. In the end, Beijiang Martial Arts University won with a score of 4:5, and Shanghai Women's Martial Arts University entered the loser's bracket.
Next up is the loser's bracket, which is full of hidden talents. The main teams from Xishan and Donglin are unscathed, while Tiannan Wuda has almost recovered. After all, Yao Chengjun's attack did not cause any serious injury; it was all a mental attack followed by a spear thrust.
All three main teams are completely unharmed.
The loser's bracket matches begin on December 4th, with four matches per day. The schedule is more intensive, and the time available for students to recover is shorter. This requires them to constantly monitor their condition and strategically allocate their lineups.
After five days of intense competition, Donglin Martial Arts University advanced to the second round with four wins, but their form was not optimistic.
The entire main team was riddled with injuries; the fact that they managed to play all five matches already demonstrates their strong will. After a day of rest, they will proceed with the second round of the knockout stage.
As for whether Donglin Martial Arts University can be restored to its original state on that day, that is their own problem, after all, weakness is the original sin.
Next, they will face the five great martial arts masters who have been recuperating for six days. None of them are easy to deal with, and the outcome of Donglin Martial Arts University's defeat seems to be imminent.
The draw for the second round of the competition began on December 10th.
This time, no one cheated. Each school that participated in the lottery sent one grandmaster, and several grandmasters competed together, supervising each other. It was all based on luck. Reaching the second round had already proven their strength, so they couldn't cheat either.
The final results were astonishing: the battle between Magic Martial Arts Academy, Jingwu Military Academy, Nanjiang Military Academy, and Beijiang Military Academy was a major upset. Jingwu and the First Military Academy failed to make it into the top three; instead, the winners of Beijiang and Donglin Military Academy entered the top three.
Countless people were left speechless, both amused and exasperated by the results of the lottery.
Both Jingwu and the First Military Academy lived in Bengbu. They didn't expect that the reason they didn't make it into the top ten was not only due to their strength but also due to luck.
But there's nothing we can do about it; it's fate, and with the witness of several grandmasters, it's a settled fact.
The report that Lu Hao initially criticized spread rapidly across the internet. Could it be that Donglin University and Wuhan University are really going to become the ultimate dark horse?
However, everyone took it as a joke. After all, even if they defeated the Northern Frontier Martial Arts Academy, they would have no chance of winning against a sixth-rank martial artist.
Unlike the masters of Jingwu and the First Military Academy, the masters of Beijiang and Donglin were stunned by this sudden good news.
Suddenly someone told them they could compete for third place. You have to understand that the funding for the top three is on a completely different level from the rest. If they got that, they could take off.
Donglin received the news.
Principal Donglin made a ruthless decision, condensing a considerable amount of indestructible matter from his golden body and mixing it with energy stones to restore the strength of the main team. After all, as long as they won, they would be third place, which would not only greatly enhance their reputation but also bring them a huge amount of funding, enough for Donglin to carry out a reform.
Fortunately, the second round of matches is one game per day, and there are still three days left, enough time for the Donglin main team to fully recover.
On December 11th, Magic Martial Arts University will face off against Beijing Martial Arts University. The two martial arts universities have always been considered the two best, with no clear winner, and opinions vary from place to place.
The two sides are now locked in battle. Although the outcome will undoubtedly be a victory for Magic Martial Arts School, given their presence with Qin Fengqing in command, the outcome is still uncertain.
However, everyone's attention was focused on the battle between Fang Ping and Li Hansong, who were starting players.
After all, according to Fang Ping's assessment, he was capable of defeating Li Hansong. If he did win, then his assessment would be correct.
This also means that even without Qin Fengqing, Magic Martial Arts Academy can still overpower Beijing Martial Arts Academy, so almost everyone is paying attention to this battle.
The match has begun.
Fang Ping and Li Hansong slowly walked onto the stage.
The moment the two stepped onto the stage, their presence was overwhelming.
Although they haven't started fighting yet, sparks have already been ignited between the two, and it seems like the air will be set ablaze at any moment.
