107: Class Alliance
Facing the Class 1 coalition, Ye Chen wasn't in a hurry to act, not because he feared that mayor's son, but because it wasn't time yet.
He was confident that even if all the players teamed up, he could take them all out.
Since that's the case, he might as well wait here. In the end, he just needed to eliminate two people to enter the top ten. After all, it was just a qualifying match, not a ranking match, so there was no difference between first and tenth place.
Thus, under the anxious gaze of the Class 1 coalition, Ye Chen consolidated his forces and set up camp not far from them.
Not long after, a familiar voice interrupted Ye Chen's thoughts again.
"Hey! Brother Chen, I knew you were here."
Zhou Mingjie's excited voice reached Ye Chen's ears.
Ye Chen opened his eyes helplessly. This Young Master Zhou was always making a fuss.
Zhou Mingjie never knew what low-key meant. Accompanied by deafening roars, his army advanced mightily.
However, he clearly had the capital to be high-profile. Leading the charge were over two thousand third-tier elite Centaurs.
They were clad in fine armor, wielding spears, and charged forward in neat formations, looking very imposing.
Behind them were over five thousand third-tier elite snake people with well-matched professions, and over three thousand third-tier Extraordinary-level Fire Elements.
And above the army, over a thousand second-tier elite Falcons were circling with wings spread, forming a tight aerial defense line.
At this time, Zhou Mingjie was possessing his "pseudo-hero" Flame Lord.
At this moment, the Flame Lord had broken through to fourth-tier Extraordinary-level, which was incredible for a pseudo-hero who had lost potential.
Clearly, Zhou Mingjie had invested a lot in it. After all, it was an old partner who had made great contributions for him.
However, Ye Chen had fought against so many God Domains and even seen a few demigods. Currently, he had only discovered one hero unit, the Elf Queen Shallya.
The previous Desert Dragon and Bone Dragon could only be considered high-tier troops, not true hero units.
Now, there were quite a few special units with great potential in his own Abyss, which should be slightly stronger than true hero units.
When the Flame Lord possessed by Zhou Mingjie saw the charming Elf Queen possessed by Ye Chen, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Good heavens, I didn't see this coming. I can't believe you're having such a good time in private."
Zhou Mingjie said this while slowly pacing around Ye Chen, his gaze wandering shamelessly over the key areas, occasionally making strange clicking sounds.
Ye Chen felt his hair stand on end from Zhou Mingjie's slightly aggressive gaze. He subtly waved the scepter in his hand.
A thin and hidden vine grew from underground and shot towards the Flame Lord's vital anal area with lightning speed.
"Aow—"
It was unclear whether this miserable shriek came from Zhou Mingjie or the Flame Lord, but it was extremely pitiful.
He turned into a skyrocket again and shot into the sky, leaving behind only a vine with ferocious barbs swaying gently in the wind.
After a moment, the Flame Lord landed again, flapping its wings, but its gaze towards the Elf Queen was slightly resentful.
He obediently walked up to the Elf Queen and asked curiously:
"Brother Chen, what's the deal with this Elf of yours? Why does she feel so powerful."
Ye Chen glanced sideways at him and calmly uttered a few words:
"Fifth-tier Epic-level hero."
These few words that came out of Ye Chen's mouth greatly shocked Zhou Mingjie.
Wow, his own fourth-tier Extraordinary-level pseudo-hero had finally met its match.
She completely suppressed him.
Thinking of this, Zhou Mingjie looked at the Elf Queen as if gazing at a rare treasure, full of envy and awe.
Only when Ye Chen waved his scepter again did he reluctantly shift his gaze.
"Brother Chen, why leave this bunch of noobs here being an eyesore? How about we team up and clear them out?"
After saying this, Zhou Mingjie maliciously surveyed the Class 1 alliance.
Wang Tao in the crowd seemed to sense Zhou Mingjie's aggressive gaze and quickly ordered his army to be on high alert.
"Then you go ahead. I'll cover you from the back. Just give me half the points when it's over."
After Ye Chen finished speaking, he said no more, closed his eyes to rest, looking completely uninvolved.
Seeing that Ye Chen had no interest in participating, Zhou Mingjie had no choice but to give up this tempting plan.
Although he was arrogant, he wasn't foolish.
Going against a group of others by himself would only benefit bystanders if both sides were injured.
Thus, he also followed Ye Chen's example, consolidated his forces, and tried to calm down.
However, it wasn't long before he couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart.
He participated in this competition simply to enjoy the fun of the game, not to learn meditation or anything like that.
So, he said hello to Ye Chen and eagerly took his army to "bully the weak."
And Ye Chen remained calmly nestled in his spot, showing no intention of moving at all.
As time passed, more and more students led their teams to the central area.
The students from Class 3 were no exception. When they saw Ye Chen's mighty and imposing army stationed here, they couldn't help but feel happy and gathered towards Ye Chen's position one after another.
With this great god present, this competition was secured!
After gathering some classmates from her class, Chen Jing, the class monitor of Class 3, extended a sincere invitation to Ye Chen:
"Ye Chen, other classes have already teamed up and are acting together. Let's also cooperate. There is strength in numbers."
After hearing this, Ye Chen gently shook his head and politely refused:
"No need. I'm still used to acting alone."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jing could barely hide her disappointment but did not press further.
Well, strong people are always independent.
She kept the Class 3 team lingering not far from Ye Chen, also using his prestige to deter others.
Meanwhile, other classes also formed teams one after another, but everyone remained cautious and did not easily launch attacks.
There are six classes in the senior year of Shuguang Middle School this term, with about fifty students in each class. After the first round of elimination, there are now about two hundred students left on the field.
At this time, over one hundred fifty people had gathered in the central area. The rest had either not yet arrived or had already been eliminated.
Among all the teams, the Class 1 team had the largest number of people. They had gathered over sixty people, accounting for nearly forty percent of the total number.
This included not only students from Class 1 itself but also some students from other classes who held positions in the student council.
However, Chu Tian had not shown up the entire time.
Ye Chen believed he wasn't that easy to eliminate. He was probably hiding in some corner, afraid to show his face.
Otherwise, his few Orcs and half-Orcs wouldn't even be enough for one round of Ye Chen's volley fire.
Ye Chen wasn't in a hurry. He didn't have to vent this anger in this virtual venue; that would be too petty.
His principle had always been to either not act or, if he did, to eliminate future troubles permanently.
Seeing time pass by minute by minute, many students were getting anxious; they hadn't gained a single point yet.
And the leaders of the six class teams also knew that they couldn't wait any longer, or this match couldn't end.
Finally, Wang Tao was the first to break the silence and extended an invitation to Chen Jing:
"Chen Jing, just waiting like this isn't the way. How about we team up first and clear out the other students?"
Wang Tao had calculated very clearly in his mind. Among everyone present, besides their Class 1, Ye Chen was the strongest.
If they could form a strong alliance with Class 3, victory in this competition would be almost certain.
