Chapter 233 Holding Up This Cake
The second round of the World University Competition has ended, and the final showdown is about to begin.
The rules for the final battle are quite simple and straightforward: teams compete against each other to determine the top three teams, who will then receive generous rewards.
Although the format is the same as the elimination rounds, still a team competition of five people, a unique personnel substitution mechanism has been added this time.
This player substitution mode allows each team to make a total of three substitutions during the final battle.
In this way, each team must carefully select eight players to participate in each match.
There are a total of nineteen conventional magic systems in this world, and there are sixteen people on the field in the competition. Each person has at least three different types of magic. Therefore, you can imagine that the audience will be able to witness a spectacular display of almost all magic systems.
At that time, all kinds of dazzling and mysterious magic will surely bloom on the field like fireworks, showing its endless charm to the world without reservation!
Just a few days ago, the Parthenon selected four goddesses.
They are: Ander, who has the most supporters; Penny, who is older and more experienced; Asha, the adopted daughter of Saint Wentai; and Ye Xinxia, who is unknown and inconspicuous.
Andre, who was the most popular candidate, should have been the closest to the goddess's throne, but he suddenly died inexplicably.
Some say she committed suicide out of fear of punishment, while others say she died of illness. Hua Yu doesn't care about the loser in this power struggle; he'd rather watch another person's death video.
Lord of Darkness—Esendel!
In the video, the mythical beast Skull, which represents the realm of death in ancient Greece, teares Eisendall to pieces.
It was only because Eisendall was severely injured by the Inquisition that a monarch-level being was able to kill such a Dark Lord.
A powerful figure with forbidden spell abilities, known as the world's most powerful dark mage, such a pinnacle existence, ultimately met his end at the hands of a monarch-level creature, which is truly frustrating.
After turning off the video, Hua Yu casually picked up the documents that Jiang Yu had given him.
This thick stack of papers contains detailed information about the ten top performers in the World University Competition.
Although this ranking is not officially produced, it is undoubtedly of great reference value to the participating teams, as it can help them better understand the strengths and characteristics of their opponents.
Unsurprisingly, the person at the top of the list was none other than Hua Yu himself, who was praised by everyone as the "noble young master of China".
He majored in Summoning, secondary in Space, and minor in Sound, possessing the power of three dimensional systems. Coupled with his handsome appearance and innate elegance, he earned another resounding title—"The Dimensional Prince."
Hua Yu glanced at the information about himself and was speechless. Then he quickly browsed through the information about the other contestants.
Second place goes to the British green-haired man, Zero.
Third place goes to Jesse, the American cold noodle judge with two E-shaped explosive charges strapped to his chest.
Fourth place: Reddy, the German Destruction Mage.
Fifth place: Billton, the defensive mage from the United States.
Sixth place: Mo Fan, the Destruction Mage of China.
Seventh place: Ai Jiangtu, vice captain of the Chinese team.
Eighth place: British vice-captain Seaston.
Ninth place: Greek captain Gamenon.
Tenth place: Grand Duchess Irene of Great Britain.
China and the United Kingdom each occupy three spots on the list, which at first glance suggests they are at the same level.
But everyone knows that the Chinese team with Hua Yu is the strongest in this tournament.
Because his individual abilities are far superior.
In response to the Chinese national badminton team, representatives from five countries—the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, Greece, and France—met overnight for a secret meeting.
The five teams discussed and decided that no matter who they faced in the upcoming matches, they would give it their all, even if they couldn't defeat the Chinese team, they would still wear them down.
In the minds of these people, there is only one person who poses a threat to the Chinese team. As long as Hua Yu does not play, their team can win.
"In any case, the championship must remain in the hands of our few magical empires."
"You don't need to tell us, we know what to do!"
-
The next day, early in the morning, a series of ancient and majestic bells rang out in Venice.
After the bells finished ringing, a series of melodious Italian-style musical pieces were played.
At 8:00 AM, the grand finale officially began.
The eight teams that made it to the end lined up in order of their ranking in the treasure hunt, standing in an incredibly spacious square, enjoying the cheers and adoration of tens of thousands of people.
The rankings of the World University Rankings are related to the allocation of numerous international resources.
At this moment, the faces of the five mentors, including Feng Li and Song He, were filled with seriousness as they solemnly explained to everyone the series of matters involved behind the World University Competition.
During this narration, Shao Zheng also appeared in front of the National Team members.
He exuded an aura of calmness as solid as a mountain, and his dignified yet approachable nature left a deep impression on everyone.
"Although I don't want to add any psychological burden to you, I still beg you to do your best." Shao Zheng put aside his status, and his tone even carried a hint of pleading.
In this world overrun by demons, the world's resources are destined to be limited, and certain rare resources can only be divided up in this way.
This is the fairest way, but it is also the most unfair way!
Strong countries are getting stronger, and weak countries are getting weaker. How can a country without resources possibly develop faster than those countries that have divided up the world's resources?
The four great magical empires of Europe and America have consistently dominated the top three positions in the world's academic competition. They would rather let their rivals win and become stronger so that they can overtake them the following year than have a fifth new country reach out and try to take a piece of the pie.
This is hegemony in the magical world!
Weak nations have no diplomacy!
Under such circumstances, if China wanted to turn things around back then, there was no other possibility but to rely on the lives of the mages within its own country to fight for it.
We can't be expected to become like some people, wagging our tails and begging for others' protection.
It's impossible!
China, with its scarce resources ranking less than twenty in the world, has withstood the demon tribes that are among the top five in number and strength globally. This has never been due to the number of top-tier mages at the top, but rather to the mages from top to bottom risking their lives to fight for it.
Hua Yu glanced at Shao Zheng, then nodded seriously and said, "We will!"
This year, China will surely seize this huge piece of the international resource pool!
