56: End of the game

The long competition was still ongoing.

The advantage of this competition format was that the teams that emerged from it were definitely genuine and skilled.

But the downside was also obvious.

The intensity was too high.

Except for the Shengshi Second Team, which was still being formed and did not participate this year, the other 31 teams each had to play full team matches andCompetition against every other team.

And it all had to be completed within 20 days.

Therefore, it greatly tested the endurance and willpower of the players.

It tested logistics.

It tested the level of the team coaches.

However, Lin Ye didn't care.

Prosperity didn't care either.

Lin Ye was too resilient; for the remaining matches against weaker teams, he would handle theCompetition himself.

His teammates only needed to play one to two team matches a day, and that was fine.

It was only when facing Shenzhou, to be safe, they deployed their forces according to normal arrangements and were ready for battle.

Shenzhou couldn't withstand them.

In the team match, it was almost the same scenario: after a few assassins finally broke through Chen Ou and Wind and Fire Dual Mages's blockade and infiltrated the backline, Lin Ye broke their formation with a single group teleport.

Shenzhou decisively gave up on the team match.

For theCompetition, they sent their captain and vice-captain for 1v1s, but how could two assassins fight two warriors?

There was no way to fight, absolutely no way to fight.

(In case everyone forgets the format: team matches are worth three points, eachCompetition is worth one point, with five matches in total—two 1v1s, two 2v2s, and a final 1v1. The first team to accumulate five points wins.)

The long competition ended.

Lin Ye and Prosperity, except for the match against the Xingyun team, which was truly unwinnable and they forfeited without getting points, they got full points in all other matches.

So, they became second without any dispute.

Xingyun was first, Prosperity second, Keda third, and Shenzhou fourth.

The remaining four World Championship slots were also taken by long-established clubs.

With this, the matches in the Xia Kingdom division officially concluded.

Lin Ye felt himself relax immediately.

The intensity of the competition was truly high; his physical body and Star Power were fine, but his mental energy consumption was too great.

Afterward, whenever he had time, he would frantically catch up on sleep.

Xiao Bai's dream skill was too useful, allowing him to recover very quickly.

However, while his spirit could recover, his fatigue could not be alleviated.

“Lin Ye, team building activity, let's go have some fun and relax,” Zhao Wenlong came over to invite him.

This was a tradition every year.

Lin Ye naturally wouldn't refuse; being sociable was an essential skill for an adult.

Of course, they played in a very proper manner; there were no

silver parties

as rumored by the outside world, nor would they go to improper places to have fun.

They just chartered a yacht and played for a few days.

During this period, Lin Ye truly feasted his eyes.

If it were just his own team, there would naturally be nothing to see; elegant beauties had flat figures, and no one but perverts would be interested in childish lolis.

But who was Jiang Xiaoyu?

As a socialite, a playboy, a party animal.

He had participated in countless such events, arranging them was simply a piece of cake for him.

He arranged a social gathering, discussed it with a few clubs that made it to the World Championships, built some connections, and thus invited everyone.

Especially Xingyun.

Lin Ye never expected that his teacher also had an ex-girlfriend at the Xingyun Club.

That strong-willed female manager of the Xingyun Club was now talking shyly with Jiang Xiaoyu.

Strong! Truly strong.

There were many beautiful women among the invited teams, especially Ye Qiqi from Keda; her figure, her looks, wearing a swimsuit, made Lin Ye even have to silently recite the Dao De Jing to maintain his Unwavering Will.

Those with abilities, after being strengthened by Star Power and cleansing their bodies, all had good figures and high looks, and someone like Ye Qiqi, who also had the added charm of her profession, was truly a human enchantress.

With a group of handsome men and beautiful women together, the atmosphere naturally wouldn't be bad when they played.

Besides looking at beautiful women, Lin Ye's favorite activity was sunbathing.

Lying leisurely under a beach umbrella, with the gentle sea breeze blowing, listening to the sound of the waves, and slowly falling asleep.

“Lin Ye, Lin Ye, why are you always lying down? Come play cards with everyone!” Ye Qiqi was wearing a light purple swimsuit, with slender straps wrapped around her back and tied around her neck.

A large blue bow was tied at the waist of the swimsuit. Her chestnut wavy hair was tied high into a ponytail.

She looked youthful and vibrant. Her long, beautiful legs were exposed, and her enviable beauty made people constantly turn their heads.

As for why Lin Ye knew Ye Qiqi so well, it was naturally because he had seen her a lot these past few days.

“Oh, I'm not interested in playing cards.” This was the truth; for card and board games, he only played with family and friends during the New Year in his previous life, but in this world, with the pursuit of the ability user path, he wouldn't waste time on them.

Even now, when resting, he would occasionally enter a dream to cultivate; he was an old

roll king

.

“Come on, I've lost terribly, will you help me get revenge?” Ye Qiqi said piteously.

That's right, even though Lin Ye's appearance wasn't outstanding, he attracted many admirers.

Ye Qiqi was very interested in him and found many opportunities to get close to him.

Many people pursued Ye Qiqi, and many male professional players were very interested in her.

But Ye Qiqi preferred him, this potential stock.

“Playing cards is boring, how about we change activities?” Lin Ye suggested.

Lin Ye didn't mind playing with Ye Qiqi, but he had no intention of a deeper relationship.

For him, with his system panel, the path of an ability user was a broad road, and he firmly believed he could reach the peak, so he wouldn't spend time and effort on relationships.

Therefore, his attitude towards Ye Qiqi was also very simple: treat her as a friend.

He found a few acquaintances and went to play beach volleyball together.

Ability users playing beach volleyball were truly wild.

Physically strong physical ability users could hit the reinforced ball like a cannonball.

And magic users were not to be outdone; their magic was like an extra hand, controlling the volleyball through the air.

Beach volleyball felt like

killer volleyball

.

However, since they were all ability users, there naturally wouldn't be any problems.

After the pleasant vacation, Lin Ye dedicated himself to training.

Magic University also started its new semester.

Magic University's teaching system was very open.

In the first half of each year, students cultivated with their mentors, and in the second half, they returned to Magic University to undergo trials in the Star Realm controlled by Magic University.

So, the start of the semester meant entering the Star Realm for trials.

However, Lin Ye still had the World Championships to play, so he naturally couldn't enter the Star Realm for trials.

But Magic University already had a system in place for such situations.

The above system was the normal procedure for most Magic University students.

For those who chose to participate in professional leagues, become celebrities, or become researchers, Magic University would adjust their trial times according to their schedules.

After Lin Ye applied, his trial period, which was from September to January of the following year, was changed to only one month of trials, requiring him to participate only in the last month of trials.

So, this semester's opening naturally had nothing to do with him.

If school really started, with how popular he was now, he would surely be surrounded by fans.

Therefore, he was now training with all his might.

In fact, his strength had also entered a bottleneck period.

His abilities had reached their maximum level, and his skills were basically perfected, except for the two he practiced later, Starlight Miles and Escape Void.

He felt it would be difficult for his skills to reach a superb level without one or two years.

This was with his ability proficiency maxed out; for a normal person, it would probably be impossible to cultivate a superb skill in a lifetime.

So, to enhance his strength, he chose to broaden his skill pool.

He naturally practiced the long-desired armor-breaking divine skill, Wave Fist; since he only practiced one long-range skill, Vacuum Wave, he added two more: Great Compassion Palm and Shattering Star Fist.
