75: The martial arts test begins!

"Ding-dong!"

"Qin Boyuan sent a message, open it quickly!"

The moment the screen flickered, Liu Shengshan got excited.

He knew that Number 777 was his top target!

Yet, he hadn't even managed to find out his name.

Plus, that scoundrel Qin Boyuan had said he had information three days ago.

But he made him wait until now!

Everyone he could contact had been contacted; now only Number 777 remained without information.

"Number 777's name is Nezha."

After Liu Shengshan quickly opened the message, this sentence was the first thing that met his eyes.

"What does that mean? Just a name?"

Liu Shengshan was bewildered, as if his life had lost all meaning.

"Are you stupid? There's a second page!"

Ji Qingming's chest heaved, a single sentence per page?

This was clearly just messing with them!

We've had so many years of friendship, and you play us like this?

After Ji Qingming spoke, Li Wenchang quickly flipped to the next page.

"As for his story, you'll find out during the Combat Class?"

"Hmm?"

The four heads huddled in front of the screen froze simultaneously, then slowly rose.

"Playing us?" Liu Shengshan's tone was flat.

"No, this isn't how he played before!" Shi Nanfei scratched his head.

Ji Qingming smiled brightly: "Since he's like this, let's go play with him today."

"I think that's a great idea!"

After everyone nodded, a bright and cheerful smile appeared on their faces.

...

...

"Is the Skill Card you were making finished? I didn't hear from you all day yesterday?"

In the school's large sports field, Mu Qianshan asked Jiang Yuan curiously after seeing him arrive.

"Of course it's finished! I can confidently say that even without Nezha, I'm a qualified Skill Card Master with decent combat power!"

Jiang Yuan patted his chest: "Although I can only be considered a 'turret' type, it's not a big problem."

Due to the effects of myasthenia, his athletic ability was too poor.

But the few Skill Cards he made yesterday were enough for him to safely pass the first few rounds of combat.

He would only let Nezha appear when he encountered powerful opponents later on.

After all, most of the Skill Cards he made yesterday were of white quality.

Nezha was his last resort!

After Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan chatted for a while on the sports field, they boarded the school-prepared bus and set off.

What was strange was that during their conversation this time, no one else approached them except for Zhou Dongshan.

Everyone kept their distance.

This left Jiang Yuan a bit confused, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Let's meet at the top."

After getting off the bus, Jiang Yuan, Mu Qianshan, and Zhou Dongshan bumped fists.

According to previous practice, the Combat Class was always individual combat.

One-on-one battles, with winners advancing until the final champion was decided.

While the Dongtian Simulation League was team combat, the Combat Class was individual battles.

After the three bumped fists, they showed no intention of separating.

After everyone found their seats, as more buses arrived, the empty venue gradually filled with people.

"So many people."

"Yes, the number of people is higher this year, probably around twenty thousand."

Mu Qianshan nodded. They belonged to Zhenhai City. Because Zhenhai City was near the sea and had a breached Dongtian in the sea, its population wasn't very large.

But even so, the twenty-three high schools in Zhenhai City managed to gather nearly twenty thousand people.

Looking at so many people, it was indeed a dense crowd.

However, this venue was also quite large, capable of accommodating over twenty thousand people without any problem.

"Tsk tsk, this will take several more days."

Jiang Yuan shook his head helplessly. Although the Combat Class had many venues, it was ultimately just a matter of a single Combat Class.

But with so many people, even with many venues operating simultaneously, it would still take a long time.

In Zhenhai City's history, the longest Combat Class took a full ten days.

After all, if even one battle in a round didn't conclude, the next round couldn't begin.

And in that particular year, there was a guy even more 'cunning' than Jiang Yuan.

Every time, he would stubbornly use his powerful defense to exhaust the opponent's Star Power, and then slowly grind them down, killing them with punch after punch.

This could also be considered a kind of alternative brutality.

Soon, after most of the Students had arrived, the Mayor and the Military Commander appeared on the stage.

At the same time, there were also some staff members holding Martial Arts Arena Skill Cards.

"Hello, everyone."

After the Mayor took the microphone, he greeted everyone with a smile.

Then, he got straight to the point: "Every previous Combat Class has taken too long. I'm getting old, and I really can't sit still for that long."

The Mayor, in his forties with black hair, said such things with a smile, which truly amused the people below.

"So I've decided that Zhenhai City's Combat Class this year will change its promotion method!"

As soon as the Mayor finished speaking, the square instantly fell silent.

It was important to know that the Combat Class was held nationwide.

Although some places would occasionally change the Combat Class method, most of them were normal.

After all, there were many other factors involved.

However, since the Mayor said so, it was likely that Zhenhai City's Combat Class would indeed adopt a new method this time.

"Don't worry, the three principles of fairness, justice, and openness for the Combat Class will not change!"

The Mayor said, disregarding the reactions of the crowd below, and directly announced the new Combat Class rules.

"Two hundred people per match, free-for-all mode. The last ten people standing will advance to the next round."

After the Mayor announced the rules with a smile, the people below immediately erupted.

This not only required strong ability to succeed, but also a great deal of luck, and many, many other factors.

With this mode, the uncertainty was simply too great!

Although this mode, if fought brilliantly, could also win the favor of various academies.

However, it was quite unfriendly to those Students with strong combat power.

But in contrast, some Students whose combat power wasn't particularly strong but had decent overall abilities became excited.

This gave them another path!

Even if their combat power wasn't strong and they couldn't put on a brilliant performance.

As long as they could survive to the end, they could still attract attention!

That was enough; why ask for more?

"Alright, quiet down. Now we will begin random assignments. Look at your wristbands and go to the designated location according to the number on it."

After the Mayor finished speaking, everyone began to move.

"I'm number three, what about you guys?" Jiang Yuan asked curiously.

"Me, forty-one."

"I'm ninety-nine..." Zhou Dongshan said, somewhat bewildered.

"Haha, alright, let's go to our designated spots."

Jiang Yuan smiled, looking up. One hundred numbers had already risen into the air; they just needed to go to the designated number.

"Which arena is Nezha in?"

At this moment, Liu Shengshan and the others also came to Qin Boyuan's side, asking him fiercely in a low voice.
