Chapter 2943: Alternate Ending 17 - One Person

Although Lin Yaoyue had spoken softly, the instructors present were seated nearby. Moreover, Lin Yaoyues existence in the Gods Domain Academy was akin to a celebrity. No matter where she appeared, she would become the center of attention of every instructor. Thus, the instructors present all heard Lin Yaoyues words clearly.

For a time, every instructor present couldnt help but shift their line of sight toward Shi Feng, surprise and confusion in their eyes.

Hes sending only Wu Lingling? What is he trying to do?

Did he not read the rules properly? Does he think its going to be one-on-one fights?

Most of the instructors present had done some research on Shi Fengs situation.

On one side, there was Shi Feng, Shadows dismissed Guild Leader. On the other side, there was Gu Yiren, Shadows newly promoted Guild Leader. Since Gu Yiren was here to show support to his younger cousin Gu Tong in the freshman competition, the competition could be said to be Shi Fengs best opportunity to one-up Gu Yiren and show his worth in the Gods Domain Academy.

Shi Feng even had the necessary conditions to achieve this goal. So long as he paired the incredibly talented Wu Lingling with two other talented students, he would have a high chance to win against Gu Yiren.

Yet, now, Shi Feng was letting Wu Lingling participate by herself?

It should be known that Wu Lingling and Gu Tong had similar results in the entrance evaluation. Both had reached the Trial Towers fifth-floor early stage. So, the two could be regarded as evenly matched, and it wouldnt be strange for any of them to win against each other. Although Gu Tongs teammates were stronger than any of Shi Fengs other students, Wu Lingling still had a winning chance so long as she had reliable teammates to support her.

Although the competitions rules did not state that participating teams needed to have three members, sending a one-man team to participate was no different from forfeiting the competition.

Instructor Luo, do you think that Instructor Shi got scared after experiencing Guild Leader Gus frightening aura? a young junior instructor sitting beside Luo Tiancheng asked. Then, he smirked and continued, Even if hes unwilling to embarrass himself and forfeit the match, theres no need to have Wu Lingling participate by herself. If Wu Xiaoxiao learns of this, his career as an instructor will probably come to an end.

Everyone capable of enrolling into the Gods Domain Academy possessed a certain degree of talent. Even if Wu Lingling was superior to her peers, she hadnt reached a level where she could fight multiple opponents by herself. Not to mention, having teammates meant that one could execute many more strategic maneuvers. Thus, Wu Lingling would face an overwhelming defeat even if she fought in a two-on-one matchup, let alone a three-on-one matchup.

Wu Xiaoxiao, one of the Gods Domain Academys brightest students, definitely wouldnt be willing to watch her little sister suffer a miserable defeat. Even if everyone could understand the reason for Wu Linglings miserable defeat, it still wouldnt sound nice when others talked about it.

Meanwhile, if a top student like Wu Xiaoxiao tried to seek justice for this matter, the Academy would probably fire Shi Feng without hesitation. After all, Shi Feng was merely a newly-hired junior instructor.

In regards to this situation, Luo Tiancheng glanced at Shi Feng and sneered, saying, You cant say that about Instructor Shi. Who knows? Instructor Shi might be aiming to replicate Senior Instructor Qis achievement several semesters ago and make a name for himself in this freshman competition.

How is that possible? Instructor Qi was in charge of the Academys Golden Duo at the time. Although Wu Lingling is a genius in her own right, she is still only one person, the young junior instructor said, shaking his head. However, he also understood that Luo Tiancheng was trying to ridicule Shi Feng, so he didnt continue detailing the matter.

In reality, there had been many past instances where instructors would send only one or two students to represent them in the freshman competition. However, out of the many instructors who did so, only Instructor Qi had ever secured the championship. Moreover, his achievement was largely attributed to his two students being twins. Not only did these twins have incredible talent, but they also had extraordinary coordination. Thus, they managed to win despite fighting in two-on-three matchups.

However, Wu Linglings situation was different. She didnt even have someone to rely on, let alone a twin sibling. In such a situation, she wouldnt even get through the preliminary round, let alone winning against Gu Tongs team of three.

In the meantime, Shi Feng ignored the discussions taking place around him and calmly nodded to Lin Yaoyue, saying, Mhm, just her. It wont be interesting if I send too many.

It wont be interesting?

Lin Yaoyue was momentarily stunned when she heard Shi Fengs answer. Her mind failed to comprehend what Shi Feng was trying to say.

As for the instructors seated nearby, they laughed when they heard Shi Fengs answer.

It wont be interesting if he sends too many? Does he think its interesting to watch three people gang up on one person, then?

Could he be insane?

I dont know whether Instructor Shi is insane, but I do know hell go insane once Wu Xiaoxiao finds out about this!

The many instructors present discussed and laughed over Shi Fengs words. Some instructors also started to look forward to the end of the competition. After all, nobody in the Academy had ever seen Wu Xiaoxiao go berserk before. However, they might just get the opportunity to see it this time.

While a commotion was taking place over the instructors seating area, the Academys dean also officially announced the start of the freshman competition.

The competitions format was simple. There were six virtual gaming pods prepared in the center of the arena, and participating teams would fight each other in the virtual realm. There was also a holographic screen projected above the gaming pods to allow spectators to see the fights.

Participants would automatically receive a virtual body with a Level 100, Tier 3 physique and weapons and equipment of similar quality when they entered the virtual realm. Afterward, all they needed to do was select their classes, and they would be automatically teleported into a randomized battlefield that spanned a radius of 200 yards. Unlike the Professional League, the freshman competition was a contest of skills and tactics.

Meanwhile, after the dean explained the competition rules, he also revealed the list of participating students and their respective teams. Then, when Wu Lingling saw the teammates she had, or lack thereof, she couldnt help but have a huge headache.

Is Instructor Shi insane?

Wu Lingling was a little stunned when she saw that Shi Fengs team only had her name in it. Although she had long since known that she would be chosen to participate in the competition, she never thought she would do so without even a single support

As soon as Wu Lingling snapped out of her daze, she immediately tried to call Shi Feng and ask him why he was having her participate by herself.

Wu Lingling admitted that her combat standard had improved significantly after her training session in the Withered Ruins. He had also learned many evasive maneuvers from Shi Feng, which elevated her dodging standard to a whole new level. However, she hadnt gotten so arrogant as to think she could go up against three opponents simultaneously.

Even if all three of her opponents were freshmen capable of only reaching the Trial Towers fourth floor, it didnt matter. In a situation where all participants had similar Basic Attributes, weapons, and equipment, so long as the other party didnt foolishly take independent action, their victory against her would be guaranteed.

However, before Wu Lingling could call Shi Feng, the holographic screen in the middle of the arena revealed the first matchup of the competition. Upon seeing the matched teams, the entire arena instantly fell silent.

As if fate was toying with her, Wu Lingling had gotten matched against Gu Tongs team in the very first round. The matchup that everyone thought would only appear in the final round had actually appeared in the first round.

Huh? Wu Lingling doesnt have any teammates?

Wu Lingling is participating by herself? Is she insane?

Surprise and confusion flashed across Gu Tongs eyes when he saw the information displayed on the holographic screen.

Out of the thousand or so freshmen this year, the only person Gu Tong acknowledged as his rival was Wu Lingling, Wu Xiaoxiaos younger sister. As for everyone else, he placed no importance on them at all. Once he defeated Wu Lingling, he even planned to challenge Wu Xiaoxiao before graduating, becoming a legend in the Gods Domain Academy.

While everyone was still trying to process this situation, the mechanical voice of the competitions administrative system echoed throughout the arena.

May the participants of both teams enter the virtual gaming cabins! The match will begin in one minute!

The mechanical voice interrupted everyones thoughts. When Wu Lingling saw Gu Tongs team walking to the gaming cabins, she gritted her teeth and swiftly made her way to the center of the arena as well. Then, she laid down into a gaming cabin and entered the virtual arena.

While both teams were waiting for the timer to count down and the system to teleport them to a random battlefield, Gu Tongs team members couldnt help but look at Gu Tong and ask, Boss Gu, should we step aside and let you fight Wu Lingling one-on-one?

The two of them knew that Gu Tong had originally planned to utilize his victory against Wu Lingling to increase his reputation in Shadow. However, now that Wu Lingling was participating by herself, itd be meaningless even if the three of them won against her.

No! Gu Tong shook his head. Then, in a definitive tone, he said, Well fight together! Since Wu Lingling has given up on the competition, she is no longer worthy of being my rival!
