Chapter 139: An Unexpected Victory
"The result of the game is valid."
News from the Royal Fleet brought down the cadets and instructors of Richardson's Advanced Substitute Academy. The knockout rounds were so ruthless that they lost their chances before they could open their cards. This also shows that Chu Ming has become more and more mature in the tactical arrangement of skirmishes.
Chu Ming went to have a long talk with Master Grosso after the game, and he now needs to determine what level of strength he has reached. Master Grosso's words made him suddenly realize that Chu Ming's current combat power was actually only comparable to that of a substitute cultivator at the top of the fourth order. The mismatch between realm and strength makes him have no chance of winning when facing a master of the level of Xiang Tishi, which is the so-called eye master and low master. But Master Grosso also said that the realm is the key to high-level substitution, and Chu Ming only then understood why he still had the hope of fighting in the face of Orpheus, and in the face of Gangsas. Gucci couldn't do anything. The former is the difference in strength, and the latter is the difference in realm.
The ruthless knockout round continued, except for the Richardson Advanced Substitute Academy, which was inexplicably calculated by Chu Ming, the other teams all exploded with unprecedented combat power. This made the audience addicted, but those in the know understood that there must be something wrong with these high-level students who suddenly appeared. Even Chu Ming received a hint from the family side, signaling that he could ask for assistance if necessary. The original meaning of this was that if needed, the family could help him not cheat.
"What do you think?" Chu Ming put this question in front of his classmates.
"Honestly, I'm in favor of it." Edwards was the first to say, "If it's to win the game, the means don't matter. β
"I'm for it too." Ki Yu also agrees with Edwards' argument that the greatest strength of their group is honesty, and no one worries that honesty will have a bad impact on themselves.
"I'm against it, it's not just a means, it's cheating, with the first time there is a second time, and in the end we will rely on this means." Accord actually said very strongly
"I'm against it, not for anything else, because I think we can win, and we can win openly." Ji Yu said proudly
"I think so too."
"I agree with Edwards."
ββ¦β¦β
Chu Ming calmly listened to everyone's discussions, this group allows dissent, but it is not allowed to have a second idea after a decision is made, this is the practice of the army. When everyone's discussion came to an end, everyone's eyes were on Chu Ming, and everyone was used to him making the final explanation. Chu Ming is also used to his role.
"First of all, I want to ask everyone, if we win the last match, what will we get besides a planet as a prize?" Chu Ming asked another question
"Family's affirmation."
"Recognition from the military."
"The improvement of their own strength."
Chu Ming got three answers, he didn't come to ask for everyone's opinions, he just came to convince everyone, "Okay, everyone understands this, comparatively, which is more important, if we cheat, we may get a planet, but we will lose the latter." So-" Chu Ming interrupted the words of his classmates, as a leader, arbitrariness is also a way: "Forget about the possibility of cheating, let's take it seriously, this is just the domestic selection competition, just the beginning." If I'm not mistaken, once the competition in the entire Fourth Star Domain begins, these cheating methods will be completely impossible to use, and the reason for this competition itself is to avoid war, if someone cheats at that time and leads to war, you can imagine the consequences. We've come this far, and I'm sure we can go further. Maybe we'll lose something because of it, but at least we'll be able to tell people that we've tried. Disbandβ"
Chu Ming instigated a little and then threw himself into intense work again, and the next game was against the Annaboti Academy from the western part of the empire, just like the few famous people in the west, the students of the Annaboti Academy were also known for their toughness in battle. The last victory ended with the opponent being frightened by their group's charge. It is also the only academy that Chu Ming thinks wins with his own strength. This made Chu Ming more careful.
Pre-match speculation is that the result is a hobby for gamblers and the general public, and all tournaments related to the Iron Blood Military Academy team are favorites. The endless strange tactics are the focus of everyone's speculation, and the most accurate guess in the last game was the betting of the first war zone of the empire, and Major Mania was coquettish in the imperial gambling world. However, the soldiers of the first theater of operations did not buy it, after all, the "annual rings" made by the self-destruct bomb of the same frequency on the Zipf star were still clearly visible. That's the real planet, it's completely different from an icy meteorite. However, everyone can also guess that this competition will definitely not be held on that kind of meteorite again, and everyone is even looking forward to it, what kind of surprise will this shameless team bring to everyone?
It was still beyond everyone's expectations, and the accident still happened, but this accident was not brought by the iron-blooded military academy team, but the always fierce Annapoti Academy.
"We throw in the towel."
In the middle of the desert, the two teams faced each other alone. Chu Ming made all the preparations, but the team leader on the opposite side simply admitted defeat, which made him confused.
"I'm sorry, can I ask what it's for?" Chu Ming was still a little skeptical.
"Lack of strength."
"How do you know that the strength of the Dao is not good?"
"My cousin told me. I trust his judgment. β
"Your cousin, who is he?" Chu Ming continued to ask
"Hefennan, my name is Clevelnan."
"Oh-" Chu Ming suddenly realized, it turned out that this was the younger brother of an acquaintance, the bearded Hai Fennan was not a stranger, and he was invited by Chu Ming during the "chaotic war" exercise.
"Yes, my cousin said that you are a very good person and deserve to be friends. So I chose to throw in the towel. β
"Is this a decision for all of you?"
"I am the future patriarch of the Taji tribe, and they will not oppose my decision. But I have a request, let's fight a fight, just between us. "Cousin Cliff does have some resemblance to Hefennan, and although he does not have a beard, the bones on his face are angular, typical of the Taji of the West.
"Well, what about your mech? I remember that Hefennan used a strange bone to replace the mech. Chu Ming smiled kindly, this is good, not only to win the game but also to avoid hurting the harmony.
"I don't have a mecha, I don't know if you are a real cultivator, but I am a cultivator, a physical magician."
"Oh, well, I'm used to using my fists too."
"Okay, let's get started."
Chu Ming understands that Cleveland is very strong, and mavericks are either geniuses or stupid people. Apparently, Kryvnan, the future prince of the Tajis, is not an idiot. Clivnan is not arrogant, he has carefully studied Chu Ming's tactics and strength, and he has now overlooked one point, that is, the Iron Blood Military Academy team has strict obedience, this kind of thing seems very simple, but it is actually difficult to do. Obedience is not blind obedience, it requires strict self-discipline and precise understanding. Clevelnan thought he would never be able to make his teammates do that. So he chose to back down, which is a long-term investment, but if he wins heads-up, then this investment is more valuable.
This battle, which was evaluated as the most retro battle of heterogeneity in a hundred years, was staged. This gladiator-like fight is savage and gentlemanly, the two sides use the most primitive physical strength to fight, and even the moves are abandoned, you punch me a punch, you a leg and I a leg, the muffled sound of skin and flesh contact is rhythmic. After the end, Cliffnan said thank you, and after thanking him, the two sides shook hands and left.
Neither side mentioned afterwards who had the upper hand. Because of this victory, the Iron Blood Military Academy team reached the final of the most difficult game. The final is played between two teams in the upper bracket as well as one team in the lower bracket. In addition to the Iron and Blood Military Academy teams, which are Haringi Substitute Academy and Ergang Substitute Academy, the last winner will be the only team to represent the Fast Empire in the inter-state inter-school competition.
"It's unbelievable that they've really come this far." The happiest person is Principal Lindeman, who has been looking like a young teenager these days, and the eyes of Mentor Belinda Gore are also confused.
Mentor Belinda Gore helped her huge mentor hat, then stared intently into Lindeman's eyes for a moment, and said suspiciously, "Do you have sand in your eyes?" β
"Poof-" Artificial Intelligence Instructor Salon. Jasper squirted out a mouthful of water. Choked and coughed
Jesse, the mentor of mechanics. Jing Long patted Jasper on the back of artificial intelligence and said, "Mentor Belinda Gore, this is not sand, this is the eyes of a pervert." β
"Perverts?" Mentor Belinda Gore looked at Lindeman's color again in confusion, and said regretfully, "I haven't seen this kind of look for many years, it seems to be a long time old." But, Lindeman, are you okay? β
Lindeman was hit hard by this sentence, and said loudly, "Who said I can't do it, even if I can't, at least my students can." β
"It's not the credit of the squad leader, you will calculate." Mentor Belinda Gore lifted her crumbling mentor hat again, it was her habit, like holding her glasses.
"What's wrong with the calculations, let's be honest, I'm calculating right now. Do you know what the Tao is for? I'm afraid these boys really won. β
"For what? Isn't that what you were hoping for? β
"Of course, I want them to win, but I want them to live. One brownstone town is enough. To be honest, I'm very satisfied with this class of students, so I don't want any of them to die. Look at these "Lindeman took out a stack of documents" There are all kinds of war zones, all of them are here to ask for people, at first I didn't bother with the placement of these students, but now - there are more people robbing them, and it is also nerve-wracking. β
"That's your business." Mentor Belinda Gore said disdainfully
"What is it that has become my business? You see that this is a letter from the commander of the 7th theater of operations, there is no room for negotiation at all, 8o people, reaching out is all you want. They really can take advantage, with a good background, stable strength, and skilled combat skills and coordination, which is the talent of future senior commanders. β
"Why is it not 81 people? What he missed was Chu Ming, just because he didn't have a family background? "Jesse, the mentor of mechanics. Jinglong asked suspiciously
"That's not it, I guess General Bandi has already said hello, to be honest, the most difficult thing to place is this guy who intermittently stabs Lou Zi, this matter is still for General Bandi to worry about. All we have to do now is get them through the game in peace. Everyone has been on their guard lately, and I guess there will be trouble......"
