63 -47: Struggle

Inside the venue.

With the transportation by drones, boxes of lunch were delivered over.

After the first and second rounds of the law competition ended, it was already noon, lunchtime.

Yet, many contestants eating their lunch were still discussing the highlights of the previous two matches and occasionally looking up at the rankings on the big screen.

Just that, the name originally ranked fourth had disappeared, and the current top ten were still dominated by the three elite schools: White Dragon High School, Purple Cloud High School, and Red Tower High School.

Because with the conclusion of the first and second rounds, the top ten displayed on the big screen had been replaced with the overall top ten scores.

Only by ranking in the top ten of the final overall scores of the law competition was there prize money, real ranking, and scores recognized by universities, which would be advantageous in university interviews.

And the name that tore a hole into the competition during the second round to squeeze into fourth place had now vanished like a mirage.

It was like a small bird trying to break through the heavens, being swatted back by the giant hands represented by the three elite schools.

Teacher Yan sighed in his heart: “Zhang Yu ultimately scored too low in the first flying sword round, dragging him down, so the total score couldn’t make it into the top ten.”

But what could be done about it?

The rich indeed have an absolute advantage in flying swords, and Teacher Yan couldn’t blame Zhang Yu’s family for not buying him a mana-infused flying sword.

“Only blame it on bad luck, coming across a flying sword manufacturer’s sponsorship.”

On the other side, Zhang Yu looked at the lunch box in his hand, eating while complaining: “Selling this one lunch box for 80, why doesn’t Red Tower High School just rob instead?”

As Zhang Yu was complaining, a lunch box was handed over in front of him.

Zhang Yu looked up to see Teacher Yan bring over another lunch box.

With a kind face, Teacher Yan said: “You’ve worked so hard this morning, I knew you’d be hungry, so this one’s for you too.”

Bai Zhenzhen, looking at this scene from the side, secretly rolled her eyes: “Could he be hungrier than me?

Yu Zi took just 1 minute and a half to dissipate the special magic power, while I struggled for over 8 minutes to finish, it exhausted me.”

Watching Zhang Yu gobble down two meals, Teacher Yan became more satisfied, thinking that with such a big appetite, he’s definitely a good student.

Beside them, Bai Zhenzhen, Qian Shen, and He Dayou also had big appetites?

Hah, aren’t they just gluttons if they eat so much in a magic power competition without a chance at ranking?

Teacher Yan encouraged: “You did very well this morning, just do your best in the afternoon, don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”

Though Teacher Yan wished Zhang Yu could focus 400%, she knew that the operation of mana wasn’t something to be rushed; keeping a calm mindset was crucial, or it could backfire.

Afraid that Zhang Yu, having placed in the second round, might be under too much psychological pressure, she immediately came to comfort him, hoping he could relax as much as possible for the competition.

And Teacher Yan couldn’t help but start calculating Zhang Yu’s score in her mind.

“First round 80 points, second round 93 points, total 173 points.”

She looked up at the big screen, scanning from first place with 195 points to tenth place with 176 points.

“If Zhang Yu can catch up by 4 points in the next round, he can make it into the top ten.”

Four points didn’t seem like much, but Teacher Yan knew that in such a high-difficulty, high-competition magic power match, the higher the score, the harder each point was to earn.

Especially with 30 top students from the three major elite schools vying for the top ten.

Thinking about the 4-point difference, Teacher Yan couldn’t help but feel slightly nervous: “It depends on what the final round will test.”

Lunchtime quickly ended, and the final round of the afternoon’s law competition officially began.

The host appeared and said: “Study martial arts, study Daoism, come to Immortal Rhythm; 300 laboratories, 100 cultivation technique masters, focusing on Immortal Path education for 100 years.

Thank you to Immortal Rhythm Group for sponsoring this law competition…”

Immortal Rhythm Group, Zhang Yu remembered this company belonged to the Wanfa Sect, where he participated in a skill trial and acquired the Circulation Qi Gathering Method from this large company.

He also remembered meeting the Songyang City director of Immortal Rhythm Group at Li Xuelian’s art exhibition.

Moments later, a complex exercise diagram was sent to each participating student.

This was the content of the final round of the law competition: transform one’s mana into special magic power following the exercise route in the diagram.

Meanwhile, the soul cultivators’ cameras scanned across the venue, ready to assess the condition of each contestant at any time, and to record the sequence of the contestants completing the assessment.

As the timing officially began, students had already started operating their mana according to the exercise diagram’s route.

Zhang Yu looked at the route on the exercise diagram with a slight frown.

“This thing…

seems like a special magic power used for combat.”

Though the existence of the 10th level Circulation Qi Gathering Method made Zhang Yu’s control over mana very powerful,

the route on the exercise diagram was extremely different from the mana circulation of the Circulation Qi Gathering Method.

If the Circulation Qi Gathering Method was a way to circulate internally and enhance oneself,

then the exercise route on this diagram was a method to apply mana outwardly for combat.

He could feel that, in terms of complexity, this exercise route wasn’t as sophisticated as the Circulation Qi Gathering Method.

But whether it was the operational route or the techniques contained within, they were all very different from Zhang Yu’s familiar Circulation Qi Gathering Method.

Especially a technique involving oscillation refining, something he had never encountered before.
