Chapter 121: Chapter 120: League 6, Breaking into the Top Ten

Song Ke and Xu An seized this opportunity and attacked from both sides.

The Snow Lion dodged clumsily, but unexpectedly, it was successfully ambushed by He Zhou once again, one of its blood-red eyes gushing blood.

"Well done!" Cheng Yao shouted in admiration.

"You’re amazing," Rong Yueqing also gave He Zhou a thumbs-up.

After rescuing He Zhou, Yueqing’s spiritual power was nearly depleted, so she did not participate in the fight anymore and called back her mecha cat to He Zhou’s side.

He Zhou scratched his head in embarrassment and awkwardness.

Before, he hadn’t noticed, but once he truly joined the fight, he realized that his spiritual power was much more abundant than he had thought.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to maintain so many spiritual power ambushes. He should have exhausted his power by now, but he still had a little left, enough for two more ambushes.

He Zhou quietly glanced over towards Qu Tong but silently said nothing and did nothing.

With such a big vulnerability, Song Ke and the others breathed a sigh of relief and focused their attacks on the Snow Lion’s blind spots.

With a bit of effort, they brought down the Snow Lion.

The team’s score suddenly increased to 1740, just enough to place them at the tenth position on the scoreboard.

The audience in front of the screen: [!!!]

Even the mentors at the teaching base were surprised to see this.

In the monitoring room reserved for the mentors to check on team statuses, 12 screens formed a circle, displaying the progress of 12 teams.

A mentor called out to Fu Xiangyu, "Instructor Fu, come over and take a look. This team includes two students from your class; they’ve made it into the top ten."

Fu Xiangyu was stunned. Students from their class made it into the top ten?

Everyone knows that the students of the Pharmaceutical C-class are all B-rank and generally have very weak spiritual power if their physique is below B-rank.

Lacking combat ability, other students from combat departments were also unwilling to take them on, and every year they merely participated in the competitions to gather herbs, not even sure if they could handle a second-level Star Beast.

Luckily, even if students from the Pharmaceutical Department did not achieve good results in the league, there were other ways for them to retake the exams.

Upon hearing this, the other teachers also came over out of curiosity.

"Isn’t this the F-physique waste who voluntarily joined your class? Must have stepped in some incredible luck," Xun Guangyong said with a mix of sarcasm and mockery.

"The league is all about team battles after all. Having their names on the board means they’re impressive," the teacher who had called over Fu Xiangyu retorted.

"Pfft, at the end of the day, they are just a drag. Look at those two, what use are they? They’ve just been wandering the whole time, not even participating in a single fight. They’re just lucky to have found a team willing to put up with them," Xun Guangyong said with a disdainful look in his eyes.

Seeing that the other teachers remained silent, he began to preach self-righteously:

"Though they are Pharmaceutical Department students, since they are at the military academy, they should act like military students, otherwise they might as well just go to some regular university instead. Our A-class students are different. Many have their own mechas and actively participate in fights, playing a crucial role in their teams..."

Xun Guangyong paused deliberately here, puffed out his chest, and spoke with pride: "What’s so great about being tenth? It’s just temporary luck. The team of our class’s Lan Weiying has always been among the top three of the four main military academies..."

After finishing, he looked around at the other teachers, only to discover that none of them looked at him with envy or admiration. Instead, their attention had returned to the screens.

Instantly feeling annoyed, he snorted dismissively and went out to brag to the instructors of other academies.

The door was slammed loudly by Xun Guangyong, but the teachers in the control room were not surprised.

Actually, many teachers at the school were eager to please Xun Guangyong, particularly those from the Mecha Single Soldier Department. Unfortunately, they had all been dispatched on patrol, leaving behind a few teachers from the Plant Cultivation and Pharmaceutical Departments who happened to be indifferent toward Xun.

After Xun Guangyong left, some teachers began to speak up.

"Although Qu Tong didn’t participate in the combat, her coordinating ability is not bad at all. The other students in the team are willing to listen to her—she’s quite outstanding."

"If she can keep this up, your promotion this year is in the bag," another teacher complimented.

After all, it wasn’t surprising for a student from Class A to make it into the top ten, but it made a big difference when a student from Class C did so, especially since the teaching resources awards were much more substantial.

"This is just the first day; there are still many uncertainties ahead," Fu Xiangyu modestly replied, but her face was still brimming with joy.

She was pleased not only for herself but also genuinely happy for her students’ progress.

"And what about the princess of the Kasa Empire from your class? Wasn’t she said to only have a B-rank physique? How can she pilot a mecha now?"

"That, I’m not sure about. Perhaps she has her own way of enhancing her physique."

After all, it’s easier for someone with a lower physical grade to improve than for someone with a higher one, so no one paid much attention to it.

On the field

Several of them sat gasping for air next to the spoils of war, taking a rest. Xu An brought water and handed out a bottle to everyone.

Having used up so much energy, the water in the bottles quickly ran out with loud glugs.

Cheng Yao tossed his empty bottle and excitedly said, "We are so lucky! Although it was somewhat scary, that was the most exhilarating battle I’ve had."

"This is the first time I’ve killed a level five Star Beast. I could brag about this for a year."

Just after Fei Wenxing finished speaking, he was thrilled to discover that their team had made it into the top ten, exclaiming in surprise, "We’ve entered the top ten, holy cow, that’s just too awesome."

The others also checked the rankings.

The gap in points on the first day hadn’t widened much, with the first place having only 2050 points, and in tenth place was the name of their team captain, Qu Tong, with 1740 points following it.

Song Ke stared at the rankings projected by the live broadcast sphere, looking dazed.

The rest of them discussed the rankings excitedly, chattering back and forth.

Qu Tong’s eyebrows twitched as she sensed people approaching. She stood up and said, "It’s getting dark. Let’s gather the Star Beasts and find a place with a water source to rest."

"Why not here? I brought water," Cheng Yao questioned.

Xu An and the others also looked at Qu Tong, puzzled.

After the battle they just went through, even if they had replenished their energy with Energy Liquid, they were still somewhat exhausted, and their spiritual power hadn’t recovered much. They preferred to rest on the spot.

"The jungle here is too dense, easily concealing unknown risks. Even if we don’t find a water source, let’s move to an open area to rest," Qu Tong gave one reason.

The more important reason was that there was a level three Star Beast not far from them. She feared that if they rested at night, the level three Star Beast might move in their direction.

With everyone’s limited remaining spiritual power, if the level three Star Beast came at night, although it wouldn’t necessarily lead to injuries or elimination with her there, it was likely to disrupt their rest and affect their condition the next day.

The group felt that Qu Tong made some sense, and since they had been following Qu Tong’s lead up until now, despite being very tired, they all got ready to set off.

They hadn’t gone far when they encountered another group of students, consisting of two S-rank, three A-rank, and two B-rank members, identifiable by the yellow badges on their chests as students from the Fourth Military Academy.
