173: Freshmen in search of goals and in a precarious situation
Song Ming was entering this War Space for the first time, and he was not familiar with the environment inside.
Therefore, he did not rush forward, but first observed his surroundings.
Since everyone was teleported to a random location in the War Space.
At this moment, there were no other people around Song Ming.
Less than a hundred meters behind him was a thick, impenetrable mist.
In front of the mist, which was where he was located.
There was a dense forest.
Song Ming remembered what Director Wang said and immediately understood.
He had been teleported to the outermost edge of the War Space.
Which was the so-called safe zone.
Outside the safe zone, naturally, was the impenetrable mist area.
What Song Ming had to do was naturally to move towards the center of the safe zone.
And incidentally deal with the older students he encountered along the way.
Once he was the only one left in the War Space, the first prize of 50,000 credits would be his.
Not to mention, after defeating an older student, he would also gain all the credits in their account.
He was absolutely going to make a fortune by participating in thisCompetition!
After choosing a direction, Song Ming slowly walked forward.
At the same time, he released more than ten Dragons from his summoning space, ordering them to scatter in different directions to find the older students in this space.
Once they found a target, Song Ming would naturally know.
Otherwise, relying on him alone, the probability of encountering an older student would obviously be much lower.
As for himself, he took this time to check his personal panel.
Sure enough, Song Ming's Rank was directly limited to Rank 30.
All his attribute values were also equivalent to those of ordinary legendary Professionals.
Almost all were around 450 points.
Although his mental attribute was higher, it wasn't much higher, only around 500 points.
That is to say, apart from his skills, he had no difference from the other students.
Even the Rank of his summoned creatures was suppressed to Rank 30.
This showed how rigorous thisCompetition was.
After all, older students, whether in combat experience, their own Rank, or their equipment, completely crushed new students.
If there were no restrictions in this regard.
New students would have no chance of defeating older students.
However, even so, Song Ming believed that the new students had a very small chance of winning.
Because there was also a decisive factor.
That was skill Rank.
Unless new students could team up, with a dozen people challenging one older student.
Perhaps they could, through a war of attrition, exhaust the older student's mana and thus defeat him.
However, older students were not fools either.
Seeing so many people, how could they just charge in?
After all, having gone through so many dungeon battles, aggro management had already become their instinct.
In short, it was very difficult for new students to win a battle!
But Song Ming was an exception.
Even if his mental attribute was reduced to only five hundred points.
The skills he possessed were either Heaven Rank or Forbidden Spells.
Even if the damage was reduced by ninety percent.
It was not something these older students could resist.
Not to mention, if he wanted to, the more than 500,000 Spirit Army in his summoning space could be unleashed.
In a short while.
All new students and older students would be eliminated.
The reason Song Ming didn't use them was that he didn't want to expose too many of his methods.
After all, theCompetition was live-streamed.
If outsiders figured out his true strength, it would be easy for him to be targeted.
About half an hour passed.
Song Ming's heart stirred, and he stopped.
Just now, one of the Dragons had discovered traces of humans and sent him a message.
A smile immediately appeared on Song Ming's face.
The next moment, his figure vanished from its original spot.
When he reappeared, he was already on the back of the Dragon.
Below was a clear green pool.
And by the side of the pool, four students were fighting.
One of the students was wearing the academy's uniform, while the other three students were dressed more casually, clearly new students who had just enrolled.
This was also the method used in the War Space to distinguish between older academy students and newly enrolled students.
At the same time, one could also judge the strength level among older students from their clothing.
Those wearing ordinary academy uniforms were ordinary students.
Those wearing academy uniforms were academy members.
Among older students, academy members were naturally stronger and more difficult to deal with than ordinary students.
And these three new students were very unlucky, encountering an older academy student.
As for which specific academy this person belonged to, Song Ming was not clear.
He only knew it wasn't a first-tier academy.
However, even if he was an ordinary academy member, he was not someone these three could deal with.
Song Ming sat on the Dragon's back, with no intention of interfering.
After all, it was just aCompetition, and even if they lost, there was no danger to their lives.
What's more, the battle between these four was already nearing its end.
That academy member single-handedly pushed the three back, leaving them no room to retaliate.
They were about to be eliminated.
"Heh heh, you new students are so naive, don't tell me you think three of you teaming up can defeat me!" The academy member suddenly stopped, a mocking expression on his face.
The three new students looked at each other, and a look of defeat couldn't help but appear in their eyes.
After all, before coming to the academy, they were all the 'chosen ones' in everyone's eyes.
But in theCompetition, the three of them teaming up couldn't even defeat an older student of the same Rank.
If word got out, they would definitely be laughed to death.
"Don't be too smug, even if we can't beat you, it doesn't mean others can't!" One new student said through gritted teeth.
"That's right, if Song Ming were here, he could definitely defeat you effortlessly!"
"Isn't it just entering the academy a few years earlier than us? What's there to be so arrogant about!"
The academy member scoffed upon hearing this, saying with great disdain: "Heh heh, I call you trash and you still talk back."
"I'll tell you, even if that Song Ming were here, I'd still beat him like a dog!"
"I just want to let you know the gap between academy members and you ordinary students!"
With that, he suddenly raised his hand, and ice arrows as thick as thighs appeared around him.
They were about to shoot towards the three.
It was at this moment that a fiery lotus, emitting terrifying high temperatures, suddenly descended.
Wherever it passed, the Void Realm twisted violently from the scorching.
Those ice arrows had not even been shot out before they all melted and evaporated into Qi.
The academy member hadn't even understood what had happened, only feeling his entire body swept by terrifying high temperatures, just as he was about to be completely engulfed by the flames.
A light blue glow instantly enveloped his entire body, and the flames burning on him were extinguished instantly.
At the same time, wrapped in the blue light, this person instantly broke through the air and sped away, leaving this space.
Whoosh.
The next instant.
This academy member appeared naked on the plaza, all his clothes and hair burned away by the flames.
Fortunately, the space within the Tower of Trials was protected by rules, so he was completely unharmed.
Otherwise, with the power of Song Ming's Forbidden Spell, he could have been burned to ashes in a short while.
While this person was still in a daze, not knowing what exactly had happened.
The crowd in the plaza suddenly burst into laughter.
After all, this person was an older academy student.
Yet he was inexplicably defeated by someone.
And after coming out, he was completely naked and bald, who wouldn't laugh at that.
The academy member immediately reacted, frantically reaching out to cover his face, then sheepishly pushed through the crowd and left.
