Chapter 139: Chapter 138: League 24, Wen Qing Eliminated

"Miss Mi, why are you teaming up with us?" Fei Wenxing asked, puzzled.

"Of course, to continue the alliance with you," Mi Nuo said with a particularly radiant smile as she looked at Qu Tong.

Cheng Yao was confused, "Aren’t we competitors in this round?"

"That’s true, but the competition rules don’t explicitly forbid alliances with other academies," Mi Nuo said, blinking her shrewd eyes and looking at Qu Tong with hope.

"Plus, with me around, I’ll help you kill the Star Beasts, we’ll split the points evenly, and any indivisible points will be all yours. How about that? Aligning with our team will be all benefit and no harm to you."

Xu An and the others fell silent, as this did indeed sound like a good deal.

Qu Tong twirled her slender fingers around her hair, thinking back to the level six Star Beast she had seen on the first day.

The area circled for this round of the competition happened to include that lake; she wasn’t sure if the Star Beast by the lake was still there, as it seemed no team had hunted the Chomper Jaw during the first round.

With Fei Wenxing and his team’s paltry combat ability, all four of them combined couldn’t even last half an hour.

But Mi Nuo’s team was different, with five out of six members being S-rank; together with Song Ke’s team, they barely had a fighting chance.

"You cannot attack people from our First Military Academy," Qu Tong thought of Principal Wei’s earnest instructions.

"No problem, you also try not to eliminate people from our Fifth Military Academy as much as possible. We’ll focus on killing Star Beasts and searching for Energy Plants," Mi Nuo agreed readily.

"Okay."

The first and third place officially formed an alliance.

The principals of the second, third, and fourth military academies frowned as they watched the live broadcast.

After the first round, they were certain that Qu Tong had a Special Ability to detect and find Star Beasts.

According to the instructor Xun Guangyong from the First Military Academy, one of his students could sense the presence of Star Beasts with her sixth sense; heading in the direction of perceived danger often led to encountering them.

This seemed quite mystical, but as human genes evolved with the environment, such abilities could indeed manifest.

Though rare, it was not impossible.

By a twist of fate, Xun Guangyong had inadvertently given Qu Tong a great help.

Over the course of the day, Qu Tong, leading both teams, hunted four level five Star Beasts, two level four Star Beasts, and one level three Star Beast.

Since there were two teams, Qu Tong also tried to find higher-level Star Beasts when searching, sometimes even passing up level three Star Beasts unless they were on the way.

The second round’s game area had obviously more high-grade Star Beasts than the first round, so the points refreshed faster. 25520+2600

At night, the group continued to eat Exotic Beast Meat, this time with Mi Nuo proactively offering Purification Liquid.

In front of everyone, Qu Tong used the Purification Liquid, though she also secretly used her own Special Ability.

After several days of training in the first round, Xu An had successfully mastered Qu Tong’s meat cooking technique, freeing Qu Tong’s hands.

With uncontaminated ingredients, the Exotic Beast Meat cooked by Xu An tasted nearly as good as what Qu Tong made, prompting Qu Tong to compliment its deliciousness.

They ate well and made it through the first day successfully.

On the second day, the instructor began to randomly announce the positions of the top 1-10 teams, once in the morning, noon, and evening.

The second round of competition enabled cyber-brain access, but it was limited to viewing the map and the locations of the selected teams.

The lure of triple points was quite tempting; encountering teams with many members, eliminating one team could net over a thousand points, which was easier than hunting a level five Star Beast.

Therefore, after the announcement, surrounding teams would converge on the selected people, often leading to chaotic battles.

However, while everyone else was busy collecting points from player eliminations, Qu Tong led Mi Nuo’s team around hunting Star Beasts, showing no mercy to the teams from the second, third, and fourth military academies they encountered.

With Mi Nuo’s team’s cooperation, Qu Tong’s team broke through 40,000 points, still far ahead of the other teams.

Mi Nuo’s team also managed to overtake Lan Xingye’s team, securing the second place position ahead by 100 points.

Three days passed, and even Lan Xingye’s team was drawn once, but Mi Nuo and Qu Tong’s team hadn’t been drawn at all.

However, Wen Qing had already been selected twice.

When Qu Tong heard Wen Qing’s name for the third time, the answer was obvious.

Qu Tong looked at the location of Wen Qing’s team on the light brain, in that direction, there was also a level-six Star Beast.

His eyes shifted, he pulled out several bottles of Energy Liquid from the Space Button for his teammates, and stood up saying,

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to hit a big one."

Everyone tacitly replenished their condition and followed Qu Tong with excitement.

Not surprisingly, Qu Tong led his people to loot, capturing both the level-six Star Beast and the exhausted team of Wen Qing.

The level-six Star Beast went to Qu Tong, and the points of Wen Qing’s team went to Mi Nuo.

Wen Qing’s face was smeared with blood, coupled with his sinister and fierce eyes, he looked particularly intimidating.

If it were an ordinary young girl, she would definitely be scared.

But she had seen too many desperadoes in her previous life, how could she be afraid of the hatred of a twenty-year-old youth?

Unaffected, she said, "Why look at me? Abide by the competition rules..."

Before Qu Tong could finish, Wen Qing threw a punch at him, startling everyone else, who hurriedly dropped what they were doing and rushed towards Qu Tong.

Before people could react, Qu Tong had already sidestepped to avoid it.

The punch generated a whistling sound, making it obvious how serious the consequences would have been if it had landed on Qu Tong’s face.

Without waiting for Wen Qing to throw a second punch, a beam of Ion Light Speed accurately hit Wen Qing’s palm, instantly causing blood to splatter.

Wen Qing also let out a painful moan.

"Eliminated students may not attack those who remain." Wen You descended from the flying machine, her voice cold, casually resting the ion gun on her shoulder, exuding a powerful woman’s presence.

"Wen! You!" Wen Qing covered his hand, squeezing out two words through clenched teeth, glaring at Wen You.

Wen You glanced at him with contempt and scoffed, "You dare hit her? You really must be tired of living."

Wen You made a gesture, instructing her subordinates who had come with her to take Wen Qing away.

Wen Qing was dragged away without any resistance, and he didn’t forget to threaten Wen You, "Father won’t spare you for doing this."

"Both you undutiful sons are enough trouble for him, does he have the leisure to care about me?"

After saying that, Wen You gestured for the other eliminated students to get on the spaceship with her.

The students who had witnessed Wen You’s attack didn’t dare to dawdle and gloomily followed onto the spaceship.

Qu Tong and Wen You exchanged a glance, and he flashed a slight smile.

After the crowd had left, Mi Nuo approached, "Are you okay? Did that violent man not hit you?"

Qu Tong shook his head, "I’m fine, I’m not stupid enough to stand still and let him hit me."

Unable to help herself, Mi Nuo scoffed, "What kind of man resorts to violence on a woman who presents no threat?"

"Exactly, a sore loser, I really despise him!" Fei Wenxing chimed in with a spit.

Xu An stood at the back, his lips twitched, his fists clenched, but in the end, he didn’t say anything nor did he step forward.

Song Ke quietly watched him, not saying a word.

As Xu An turned around, he met Song Ke’s gaze, was startled, then regained his usual gentleness and gave Song Ke a smile.
