58: Selection Camp

After Yun Yi announced the news, he continued, "Due to well-known reasons, our school went through some issues earlier, leading to insufficient preparation this year. Now, with less than a month until the Inter-school Competition, to improve efficiency, the school has decided that teachers will first select students from each Elite Class to participate in a selection camp.

After the intensive training at the selection camp, ten people will be chosen to participate in the official competition. Based on my usual observations, I will first select the following students: Ye Xuan, Luo Ying, Qin Gui, Wang Yu, Zhang Li, Long Xiangning, and Long Yuan—a total of seven people!"

"What?! Long Yuan was also selected?!" someone exclaimed in disbelief.

"Am I hearing this right? The others are fine, but I object to Long Yuan's selection!"

"Although he has a mental talent, that's for the future. Right now, his strength is the weakest in our class..."

"Anyway, I'm not convinced!"

"Exactly, exactly..."

Some students below became agitated after hearing Yun Yi's words, discussing animatedly...

Long Yuan also felt a bit helpless upon hearing this, not expecting Yun Yi to be so eager to single him out. Is Fengyang No. 1 High School truly out of options?

It's just a middle school Inter-school Competition. If Fengyang No. 1 High School takes it seriously, I believe there won't be another Waterloo like the past two years...

"Quiet! Anyone who questions my decision can step forward now!" Yun Yi said sternly.

"This..." The agitated students immediately fell silent, not daring to utter a word. Based on past experience, students who dared to question Yun Yi's decisions never had a good outcome, so while these people talked, not a single one dared to step forward.

"Me!" a voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone turned their heads in surprise, discovering it was Long Yuan himself.

Yun Yi's face darkened, and he snorted, "You don't want to participate in the selection camp?"

"Teacher, I actually have something I can't attend recently. Luo Ying can confirm it for me," Long Yuan said.

"Oh? Luo Ying, speak..."

Luo Ying immediately said, "Teacher, my father has a medical project that needs Long Yuan's help. It's starting today, and saving lives is like fighting a fire. He really can't leave..."

Yun Yi was slightly surprised and said, "Is that so? However, helping is helping, but you must participate in the Inter-school Competition when the time comes!"

"Ah?!" Long Yuan was stunned.

"This is allowed?!" The other students were also dumbfounded, not expecting Long Yuan to receive such treatment—not having to attend the selection camp but still being required to compete? What if he gets completely beaten then?

At this moment, Qin Gui suddenly shouted loudly, "I have no objections! Long Yuan's participation will definitely earn points for our school!"

Wang Yu echoed from the side, "I also have no objections! Support Long Yuan!!!"

"Support Long Yuan!"

"Support Long Yuan!!"

"Support Long Yuan!!!"

"......"

Many students started shouting. These were all the people who had been taught a lesson by Long Yuan last time. Although they kept quiet about the matter after Long Yuan's warning, this did not prevent them from showing support for Long Yuan, as this was an excellent opportunity to curry favor with him.

With Qin Gui leading the way, the others naturally followed suit and started shouting...

Long Yuan hadn't expected things to change so much. These people were practically ganging up to dig a pit for him to jump into!

Yun Yi shrugged, a faint, almost imperceptible smile finally appearing on his face as he said, "It seems everyone has no objections! Then, the seven of you will gather for classes at the selection camp starting today. The school has a specialized team to guide you in your preparations!"

"Yes!!!" Everyone responded in unison.

Long Yuan, helpless, had no choice but to follow the other six with Yun Yi to the school's selection camp...

This selection camp was set up in the practical training hall in the school's core area. The space here was very open, with three arenas in the center, corresponding to the Advanced, Intermediate, and Elementary Elite Classes. Each arena had seating around it for viewing, and there were also many training rooms by the field.

Some were used for individual or small team training, some for testing various body data before and after training, some for recovering from physical fatigue, and others were filled with Profound Weapons of various types, making it convenient for trainers to choose for themselves.

The students from the Advanced Elite Class and Intermediate Elite Class had already arrived. The Advanced Elite Class had the most participants, with 25 people, while the Intermediate Elite Class had 20. Adding the 7 from the Elementary Class, the total was 52 people.

Fengyang No. 1 High School's plan was to select 10 people from these 52 to participate in this Inter-school Competition. Of course, since unexpected situations could occur at any time during the competition, each team was allowed to have 5 substitutes according to regulations.

Long Yuan discovered that the person in charge of the selection camp was actually the school's Vice Principal, Yun Feiyan, who was effectively the top leader of Fengyang No. 1 High School. He saw her today wearing a bright red floral robe, with two dabs of rouge on her cheeks, and the vermilion on her lips perfectly outlining her large mouth. When she spoke, she revealed a mouthful of white teeth, appearing radiant and auspicious!

Upon seeing the arrival of the Elementary Class students, Yun Feiyan cleared her throat, her expression solemn, and said, "Welcome, everyone, to this place! You are all elites of our school, and I believe you all already know the great mission you bear.

We are here to train and prepare to defeat our opponents in next month's Inter-school Competition and reclaim the moment of glory that rightfully belongs to our Fengyang No. 1 High School! We must have an unwavering belief in victory. No matter how strong our opponents are, we must fight to the end, never retreat, and dare to win!"

"Yes!!!" everyone shouted in unison.

Yun Feiyan nodded with satisfaction and continued forcefully, "Our confidence comes from our solid fundamental strength. In the past two years, due to our slightly hasty and negligent preparation, we underestimated our opponents, to the extent that we didn't even understand the situation of some strong players in their ranks, which ultimately led to a decline in our competition ranking. This was a mistake in our work, and we must admit it!

However, this year is different. We will absolutely not underestimate our opponents again. We have already collected some of the latest intelligence on our two main opponents, Dragon and Phoenix. Moreover, our school will increase resource investment this time.

All students participating in this selection camp and later in the official competition will receive focused guidance from the school's experts, as well as a large amount of training resources, including one thousand low-grade xuan stone, five qi and blood pills, and five packs of Body Tempering Potion per person during the training period.

And during the official competition period, each person will receive two thousand low-grade xuan stone, ten qi and blood pills, ten packs of Body Tempering Potion, and ten healing pills. We believe that such a selection camp will not only greatly enhance your strength in the short term but also be extremely important for your entire Xuan Practitioner career.

It can help you solidify your Dao foundation and raise your Dao ceiling. It can be said that no matter what heights you reach in the future, you will look back and thank our Fengyang No. 1 High School for the solid foundation we have built for you this time!!!"

"Wow... Principal, awesome!"

All the students couldn't help but shout excitedly, their cheers filling the air.

They hadn't expected the school's investment in this selection camp to be so generous. Not only was there guidance from famous teachers, but the sheer amount of training resources alone was enough to capture everyone's hearts. Even students from various Families had shining eyes and excited hearts at this moment, after all, this was earned by themselves, not freeloaded from their Families.

Some older students who had participated in the previous two selection camps understood even more clearly that the school's investment this time had almost doubled compared to the past two years!

After hearing from the older students, the others became even more excited. It seemed they had caught a good time. If it weren't for Fengyang No. 1 High School's disastrous defeats in the previous two years, such a massive investment might not have happened this time...
