165: Chapter 165 Even children are bullied

Should I go find those people who bullied my sister and take care of their whole family?

"Hmm, this matter needs to be carefully considered."

Lin Fan thought to himself, walked into his room, and locked the door.

A night passed, and morning soon arrived.

The second round of the tournament officially begins today!

Lin Fan's entire family woke up early, except for Qing Yu, who was still bleary-eyed at breakfast.

She had been dragged out of bed by an excited Lin Duo.

After hurriedly getting ready, she sat at the dining table to eat breakfast, preparing to head to the tournament venue.

As a powerful Demonic Beast, Qing Yu was naturally prone to sleep and had never had the habit of waking up early.

When she was woken up, a cute little face leaned right in front of her, and she almost snapped on the spot.

But she instantly remembered everything from yesterday, remembering that she was currently in the home of this "monster."

She couldn't help but secretly wipe away non-existent cold sweat, relieved that she had come to her senses in time.

She dared not imagine.

What kind of fate would befall her if she accidentally hurt Lin Fan's sister in a moment of carelessness.

What's more, the excruciating pain of her Demonic Beast core being attacked by lightning was still waiting for her.

After breakfast.

The family left together to head to the tournament venue.

On the way, an excited Lin Duo asked Qing Yu if she had watched the tournament broadcast outside.

Qing Yu knew nothing about it, yet she shook her head and claimed she knew about the matter.

Lin Duo then enthusiastically explained the tournament's progress to her, talking non-stop.

Most of what she said revolved around the top academies and Lin Fan's spectacular matches.

After listening to Lin Duo, Qing Yu looked at Lin Fan in shock.

So he was wearing this strange uniform to participate in the tournament?

According to Lin Duo, the other participating students.

Were at best Tier 2 Mages, yet Lin Fan was actually among them?

This monster actually went to compete with a bunch of children and was even disguised as a First-Order Mage?

"You don't just bully Demonic Beasts, you won't even spare human children?"

"What kind of lunatic are you?!"

After the group arrived at the tournament venue, they walked inside.

At this moment, the area around the venue was already bustling with people.

Lin Fan parted ways with his family and Qing Yu, heading to his academy's spectator area.

His parents, sister, and Qing Yu went elsewhere to take their seats and wait for the match to begin.

Time passed bit by bit, and more and more people flooded into the stands; the venue was filled with noisy discussions.

Most of the audience was discussing the tournament, though some also spoke about yesterday's strange weather and that bird cry.

Many people did not know that Mr. Chen had already dealt with that Demonic Beast; only a few were in the know, and they did not publicize it.

Some guessed that the Demonic Beast had migrated, while others speculated that Mr. Chen or the Alliance had taken action.

Regardless of the reason, the fact that the tournament was proceeding as scheduled meant the danger had been resolved.

Qing Yu clearly heard the conversations of the humans around her, but she just looked in Lin Fan's direction without saying a word.

Lin Fan sensed her gaze, turned his head to look, and smiled slightly at her.

Qing Yu shuddered, feeling uncomfortable all over, and hurriedly looked away.

Lin Fan in his seat chuckled and then looked away.

At the same time.

The students of Longwei Magic Academy were all looking at him with confused expressions, and even the teachers were speechless… why did this guy start laughing for no reason.

Naturally, they couldn't see who he had just been looking at in the vast sea of people.

Not long after, Jiang Tianhai appeared in the arena.

He once again delivered an opening speech, welcoming everyone back to the second round of the tournament, and then announced the format for this round.

In the second round, each academy would conduct three matches: two team matches and one individual match.

Each academy needed to accumulate twenty points to advance to the third round.

And this time, the rules were different from the previous round; there were new changes.

In the previous round, the points for team matches and individual matches were the same, but this round was different.

Winning a team match still awarded ten points, but a new rule had been added:

The number of points scored depended on the number of people remaining in the winning team.

There was no doubt that the teams that advanced to this round all had strong players, and the matches would only be more intense.

Therefore, every surviving student in the team corresponded to two points.

If one person was eliminated when the match ended, the winning team would only get eight points.

If two people were eliminated, the victory would only be worth six points.

To put it more clearly, only if all five students remained on the field could the team get the full ten points.

For every person missing, two points would be deducted!

The entire audience gasped after hearing Jiang Tianhai's explanation, all feeling that this round was even harder than expected.

Next was the individual match.

Although there was only one, the points for the individual match in this round were a full twenty!

This once again caused an uproar in the arena.

Twenty points meant that as long as they won the individual match, the academy could directly advance to the third round, and it wouldn't matter if they lost all the remaining matches.

Upon thinking of this, the eyes of everyone from Longwei Magic Academy instantly fell on Lin Fan.

As long as he won the individual match, they could directly advance!

Moreover, he possessed the Space Element that no one had been able to crack so far, so his chances of winning were extremely high!

Luo Zhongheng's eyes were sharp.

He could see what everyone was thinking, but he wasn't overly excited; instead, a strong determination arose within him.

This time, he did not want to rely on Lin Fan to carry them.

He secretly vowed to win both team matches and earn these twenty points himself!

After Jiang Tianhai finished his announcement, a projection orb appeared above the arena, displaying the match schedule for this round.

Everyone immediately stared intently at the projection.

The advancing academies hurriedly looked for their names and opponents.

Since each academy only had three matches, the schedule was spread out over a week.

Monday team match, Wednesday individual match, Friday final team match.

There were no matches on Tuesday and Thursday, so everyone did not need to come to the venue.

The teachers and students of Longwei Magic Academy quickly found their names and opposing academies.

The moment they saw their opponents clearly, everyone's faces turned as pale as paper.

Their opponents for the team matches were first Qingyun Magic Academy, then Golden Magic Academy.

And for the individual match, their opponent was Void Magic Academy!

"This… what does this mean?"

"Are they trying to get us eliminated on purpose?!"

A teacher couldn't hold back and blurted out in a dejected tone.

The students were even more terrified and could only stare wide-eyed at the projection.

Luo Zhongheng, Qiao Liya, Liu Yingjun, and Feng Zheng were deathly pale, their eyes dim and lifeless.

Their opponents were all top academies that hadn't lost a single match in the previous round!

Golden Magic Academy was ranked second in the last tournament, and the talent their team displayed during matches was chilling.

Qingyun was ranked fourth, and their strength was equally terrifying, in no way inferior to the Golden Element!

They couldn't think of any possibility of winning at all!

As for the individual match, Lin Fan's opponent was Su Linlin, who was competing on behalf of the Void Magic Academy.

Given Su Linlin's fierce performance in previous matches, the Longwei students only felt that they would most likely return empty-handed this round.

But when Lin Fan saw that he was to face Su Linlin, a faint smile curled at the corners of his mouth.
