106: "My mayor father"

After Ye Chen sowed the seeds in two worlds, he didn't pay any more attention to them. As for what they could grow into, that depended on their own performance.

At this moment, he was busy with the second round of the competition.

The rules for the second round were somewhat different from before, adopting a free-for-all mode among all contestants.

The competition venue was vast, and contestants were randomly assigned to various corners.

Each contestant carried a movable score crystal. Once the crystal was shattered, the contestant would be directly eliminated, and the shatterer would obtain all the loser's points.

The competition was limited to one day. As time passed, the venue would gradually shrink, eventually retaining only the central area of one hundred square kilometers.

When the time limit was reached, the top ten contestants in terms of points would advance to the final round. If there were fewer than ten people in the arena at that time, the remaining spots would be filled by selecting from the last eliminated contestants.

Teacher Liu, the homeroom teacher, hadn't expected the second round rules to change so drastically, from single combat to a free-for-all.

This competition system undoubtedly favored students who were good at socializing and keen on forming groups. They could unite their companions and work together to harvest points.

As for students who were solitary and used to acting alone, they could only rely on their own strength to fight for points.

However, this kind of free-for-all couldn't replenish troop numbers. Soldiers were one less after each death, and by the end, there might only be some remnants of defeated forces.

This also gave some cunning individuals an opportunity. If they could survive until the end, they might be able to advance by only defeating one heavily injured contestant.

While the competition hadn't started yet, Teacher Liu quickly gathered the students from Class Three and instructed them:

"After entering the venue, try to stick together as much as possible. Form teams based on the abilities of your respective Kin, and then have a student with strong command ability coordinate uniformly. But remember, don't just focus on protecting your own troops and use your classmates as shields."

"Leading in the early stages of the competition doesn't mean much. Try to avoid unnecessary battles, preserve your strength, and then compete for points with all your might at the final critical moment."

After speaking, Teacher Liu looked at Ye Chen with anticipation:

"Ye Chen, you are the strongest in our class and even the entire School. I hope you can take care of our classmates and help everyone achieve good results."

He didn't hold any grudges against these classmates.

After all, the original owner's status as a top student ensured that these classmates maintained basic respect in their daily interactions.

As long as it didn't hinder him, giving them some convenience was no big deal.

Of course, expecting him to be their babysitter was impossible; they didn't have that much influence.

At worst, he would leave them until the end before eliminating them, which would also give the homeroom teacher an explanation.

Soon, the broadcast announced the instruction to summon contestants to enter the arena.

The students from Class Three entered the combat room one by one, stepping into the virtual battlefield to prepare for the match. Once all the students were in place, the competition officially began.

A flash of white light appeared before Ye Chen's eyes, and he found himself in the battlefield.

This time, his perspective was no longer the original God's-eye view but had changed to the Kin's perspective.

He could freely choose his own Kin and switch to its perspective, a method that naturally held a great advantage for some students with flying units.

By simply sending out some Kin to scout in different directions, they could grasp the surrounding dynamics in real-time.

But those Kin with poor eyesight weren't so lucky. The field of vision the God Lord saw through them was very limited, putting them at a disadvantage from the start.

Ye Chen didn't mind. Although he also had aerial units, the Blood Bat's vision wasn't very good.

After all, bats primarily rely on echolocation for hunting and predation, with vision serving only as an auxiliary function.

However, as the ruler of the Abyss, Ye Chen could directly mentally command this group of Blood Bat, becoming their eyes.

Unlike other God Lord, who could only command through verbal instructions, which not only had delays but also significantly reduced accuracy.

The competition officially began, and Ye Chen's perspective shifted to the Elf Queen, Shaliyah.

He wasn't in a hurry to harvest. Since the competition time was a full day, there was no need to spend time and effort searching for opponents now.

The final one hundred square kilometers was the real decisive area.

Having made up his mind, he immediately led his army straight to the central area, intending to first occupy this contested ground.

Along the way, he encountered a few unfamiliar students and took their points amidst their wails of "Brother Chen, spare me!" and "Brother Chen, no!"

Facing over two hundred thousand powerful Kin, these ordinary students were no match at all.

An hour later, Ye Chen finally reached the central area, but unexpectedly encountered a player coalition here.

This player coalition was basically from Class One. It was clear they had communicated before the competition and agreed on a meeting point.

Leading them was Wang Tao, the class president of Class One, who was also the legendary student council president.

When the blood-colored clouds appeared in their eyes, they knew—that man had arrived!

They had all witnessed Ye Chen's strength, as he had already made a big splash in the preliminary rounds.

Wang Tao didn't believe that the coalition they formed had a guaranteed victory against Ye Chen.

So, he controlled a strong blue giant troll and brought it to the front of Ye Chen's army, shouting loudly:

"Student Ye Chen, I am Wang Tao, the student council president and class president of Class One. Please come out for a discussion."

Ye Chen completely ignored him. He had no interest in the identity of this student council president. Instead, his gaze fell on that giant troll.

This was a Tier 3 Extraordinary-level Frost Giant Troll, already considered top-tier among the Kin of the various students.

Those who could compare were only Zhou Mingjie's Fire Element, Xiao Xiao's Night Elves, and Ye Chen's apparent Elf army.

However, Wang Tao's troll numbers were far fewer than Zhou Mingjie's and Ye Chen's, totaling only slightly over six hundred.

And Xiao Xiao had been defeated by Zhou Mingjie once before, suffering heavy losses, and now her Night Elf numbers were only around four hundred.

Seeing that Ye Chen ignored his identity and brazenly scrutinized his Kin, a hint of anger flashed in Wang Tao's eyes.

Although it was a beautiful Elf who was looking at him, that look clearly regarded him as prey.

But facing the Extraordinary-level Tier 5 Elf Queen, he could only suppress his anger and feign magnanimity, saying:

"Since Student Ye Chen is not in the mood for idle chat now, I will wait until the competition is over and visit you personally. I hope Student Ye Chen will do me the honor then."

Ye Chen looked at his enhanced goblin-like face speechlessly and couldn't help but say:

"No, you're a high school student, why aren't you studying properly? Who are you putting on this fake social facade for? And you want me to give you face? What, is your dad the district chief?"

Ye Chen's deep voice now came from the Elf Queen's delicate mouth, sounding extremely incongruous.

These words made Wang Tao lose some face, but he still forcefully suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice:

"Since Student Ye Chen doesn't welcome me, I won't bother you. We are all classmates, we will see each other again in the future, there will always be a time to meet."

With that, he turned to leave.

After walking a few steps, he turned back unwillingly and roared at Ye Chen:

"And! My dad is not the district chief, he is the deputy mayor of Changqing City!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings erupted in an uproar.

When Wang Tao walked back to his coalition, the surrounding students looked at him with awe.

Wang Tao shook his head and said helplessly:

"I originally planned to get along with you as an ordinary person, but I won't pretend anymore. I am a second-generation official, I've come clean."
