Chapter 78 Major Changes to the Competition Format! Shen Lingling
"Hello everyone, I am Lü Qingshan, the principal of Jiangyang No.1 Middle School."
Lu Qingshan's voice was very penetrating. Given his fifth-level combat strength, he didn't need any tools to assist him and could still clearly reach the ears of all the students.
Without much small talk, he went straight to the point:
"It is now 8:00 AM Kyoto time. The college entrance examination is about to begin. All participating students are required to enter the playground within three minutes. Those who fail to do so will be disqualified from the competition."
Splash!
As soon as these words were spoken, some students from outside rushed into the playground.
Fortunately, Jiangyang No.1 Middle School has a large enough playground, built to the standards of a large football field, which can accommodate not only 10,000 people, but even 20,000 people.
Su Lin, Lin Qingli, and the others did not move, quietly waiting for Lü Qingshan to continue.
We'll be there in three minutes.
The playground gates are closed.
Lü Qingshan continued:
"Next, I will read out the rules for this year's college entrance examination."
The previously noisy chatter from the audience immediately fell completely silent.
"Given the rampant spread of demons in recent years and the surge in the number of special dungeons and secret realms, for awakened individuals, individual combat power is no longer sufficient to fully assess their abilities."
"Therefore, the biggest change in this year's college entrance examination is that it has changed from a completely individual competition to a combination of individual and team competitions!"
"Furthermore, the individual competition format has been completely simplified, with the original three-day exam period compressed into just one day!"
"Please note, this is not a one-day individual competition, but rather a combination of individual and team competitions, all taking only one day!"
Splash!
These words immediately caused an uproar below!
Most people didn't expect that this year's college entrance examination would include team battles!
However, upon closer reflection, this change is not surprising.
In previous years, the college entrance examination was very unfriendly to support and shield warrior classes, requiring a lot of rule adjustments to put them on the same starting line as warrior and mage classes.
But now, with the addition of team battles, support and shield warrior classes have immediately found their place.
Moreover, as Lü Qingshan said, there are very few solo battles in this world; most of the time, people are in secret realms or running dungeons.
Teamwork is far more important than individual combat ability!
Compared to the other students who were either excited, nervous, or dissatisfied, Su Lin's small circle was much calmer.
Clearly, everyone had access to the information and already knew about it.
However, despite knowing there would be team battles, no one expected that both team and individual battles would end in just one day.
"Two different competition formats in one day?! How is that possible?!"
"What's going on? A singles tournament used to last three days, and with team battles added in, it would easily take five or eight days. It's over in a single day? That's way too fast!"
"Yeah, I don't understand!"
Jiang Feng and the others were whispering among themselves.
Su Lin was also puzzled.
"Quiet!"
Lü Qingshan didn't keep them in suspense. He cleared his throat, suppressing the surrounding noise, and got straight to the point:
"Since the competition will end in one day, the rules of the competition must be changed."
"In this year's college entrance examination, the importance of individual competitions will be greatly reduced; each person will only need to fight one match!"
"The winner will qualify for the team competition; the loser will enter the revival group and play another match; the loser will be eliminated!"
boom!
If the noise just now was like a pot exploding, then this is like a missile exploding!
In an instant, the entire playground was filled with incredulous gasps!
One game to decide the winner?!
One more revival match at most?!
What kind of competition rules are these?!
Is this really fair?!
"No, did I hear that right?"
"How can there be such a rule? Is this still the college entrance examination? This is too childish!"
"Yeah, it's a one-game match to decide the winner. What if I have a bad day?"
For a moment, most students looked panicked, and everyone was filled with anxiety!
However, a large number of students looked excited and thrilled!
"One game decides the winner? That's so satisfying! I'm a high-burst damage dealer, I love this kind of gameplay!"
"Simple and straightforward, no problem! This is the real college entrance exam; what kind of nonsense is this, dragging it out like this!"
"My only question is, what about shield warriors and healer support classes?"
Seemingly hearing everyone's questions, Lü Qingshan explained:
"That's the rule for this year's college entrance exam: one round determines the winner. Although there will be a lot of uncertainty, there's a revival round to ensure that talented individuals won't be overlooked!"
"Furthermore, shield warriors and support classes win as long as they stay on stage for more than five minutes. Aside from items and potions, there are no restrictions on skills or equipment!"
Five minutes!
Upon hearing this, the shield warrior and the support all breathed a sigh of relief!
With their combat strength, it's impossible for them to compete with warriors in terms of output, but if they just need to last five minutes, the difficulty is much lower.
After all, who doesn't have a few defensive skills as a support and defense class?
Even if you don't have many skills in the early stages, you can still run away!
For front-line and support roles, the requirements for movement and positioning are already quite high; it's definitely not enough to just stand there and heal or tank monsters.
Five minutes is a timeframe that is neither too long nor too short.
For other damage-dealing classes like warriors or mages, five minutes is enough time to unleash all their skills. If they can take the kill within that time, they will; if not, another five minutes won't make a difference.
"Reasonable!"
"The principal is awesome!"
"I can't wait for the match to start!"
Everyone spoke up, their fighting spirit high.
"I never expected the complete rules for this year's college entrance examination to be like this; it's really brutal."
On Su Lin's side, Jiang Feng, Jiang Yuyao, and Lin Qingli all had strange expressions.
In their plan, this year's college entrance examination should start with team battles, eliminating some contestants before proceeding to individual competitions.
After all, this is the only way to select the top scholar; otherwise, how would you choose the top scholar?
Unexpectedly, this year's college entrance examination focused entirely on team battles, while individual competitions seemed to have become a means of large-scale screening.
After all, according to the rules, a quarter of the students will be eliminated immediately after the individual competition!
"It's alright, this rule only benefits us, it doesn't harm us, after all, we have two powerful backers! Right, Brother Lin, Sister-in-law!"
Jiang Feng smiled and looked at Su Lin and Lin Qingli.
"..."
Lin Qingli was stunned by being called "sister-in-law".
Su Lin was also somewhat taken aback.
"Don't shout!"
Jiang Yuyao tapped Jiang Feng on the head and looked at Su Lin: "I hope we don't run into each other."
"It's okay, there's still the revival round."
Su Lin smiled.
Just then, a voice rang out from behind.
"Yuyao, I finally found you! There are so many people, it's so crowded!"
Su Lin looked over at the sound and saw a purple-haired girl whose appearance was no less than Jiang Yuyao's, walking over with her long, snow-white legs.
Jiang Yuyao was pleasantly surprised:
"Lingling, you're finally here!"
