Chapter 238 - Bloody Elimination (1)
10 am.
Class 2 and Class 3 gathered at the West School Gate of Beijing University as usual.
Bahuang Yao was still wearing yesterday's uniform.
Duan Ye was still holding yesterday's staff.
But Chen Yu had completely changed his appearance.
Two daggers hung on his left leg and a pistol hung on his right leg. Six grenades were wrapped around his waist, and he was fully armed with bullets and explosives.
"Brother Yu." Duan Ye looked him up and down. "Where are you going?"
"To the stadium."
"Are you sure you're not going to bomb the stadium?"
"What nonsense." Chen Yu frowned and tightened the explosive bag on his back. "I'm going to volunteer."
"But... But..." Bahuang Yao, who was at the side, could not help but say, "Brother Yu, if you're going to volunteer, why do you have to bring so many weapons?"
"Didn't I sign up for a sports event? Basketball. The event is starting today. I have to win."
"Are you sure it's basketball?" Duan Ye's face turned red. "Why does it feel like a war?"
"Oh." Chen Yu nodded and checked the grenade on his body. "It's basketball. You have to use strength."
The two of them: "..."
"It's hard to say if we're going to fight a war when we're excited. We should prepare in advance. We can't cheat our teammates."
After saying that, Chen Yu took out his phone and checked the time. He waved his hand. "We were late yesterday. Let's go early today."
Chen Yu led the way, followed by Duan Ye and Bahuang Yao.
Soon, they arrived at the Bird's Nest Stadium in the west of the city.
Upon entering the stadium, the three of them were suddenly informed of a piece of news.
The 'sports meet' had been canceled..
And this afternoon, two days earlier, the official Global University Tournament would begin.
"When was this information released?" Duan Ye questioned the staff member. "Why didn't we know about it?"
"The government suddenly released it in the early morning."
The female staff member helplessly spread her hands. "The people in our stadium also just found out about it. But I heard that the Student Union already knew about it. Your class came to volunteer, so there must be someone from the Student Union, right? Didn't you receive a call?"
"Bullsh*t!" Duan Ye stomped his feet unhappily. "I am from the Student Union! Why didn't I receive a call... Oh, I lost my phone. Then it's fine."
Pa!
Chen Yu directly slapped Duan Ye down and roared, "Are you really f*cking done? I'll give you the last three days! If you don't get a phone, I'll hit you every time I see you!"
"Yu... Brother Yu, we're teammates. It's not good to hit too hard..." Bahuang Yao pleaded on the side.
"And you!" Chen Yu turned his attention to the girl. "Change your stupid phone as soon as possible! Do you hear me?"
"I... I hear you..."
"Ah..." Duan Ye twisted his neck and stood up in high spirits. "Hey, don't tell me? I didn't sleep well last night. I've been drowsy since I woke up. I feel much better after being slapped."
The staff: "..."
"I can't play the basketball game anymore." Chen Yu lowered his head and looked at his equipment. He was annoyed. "I took it for nothing. Duan Ye, you're really not a good person. You're useless."
"Then what should we do now?" Bahuang Yao asked.
Scratching his ear, Chen Yu looked at the staff and asked, "What time does the tournament start in the afternoon?"
"Two in the afternoon."
"Okay, thank you."
Nodding, Chen Yu led the two people out of the stadium. Looking at the hundreds of thousands of people who were still queuing up to enter the stadium, he said, "Alright, the entertainment is over. It's about to get real. Let's go back and prepare for the university competition to start."
"Okay." Duan Ye's eyes narrowed slightly. "It's time to 'masturbate' again."
Chen Yu: "..."
"What... What does he mean by 'masturbate'?" the young girl asked Chen Yu in puzzlement.
"Uh..." Chen Yu was stunned. Then, he frowned and racked his brain for words. "This... um... do... do you know women's judo?"
"Ah?" The young girl was even more puzzled.
A light bulb lit up above Duan Ye's head. "Brother Yu, you're so flirtatious..."
...
As time passed.
The news of the cancellation of the sports event spread rapidly, and more and more people learned about it.
The spectators who had bought tickets did not have much of a reaction. After all, although the sports event was entertaining, the main event was the Global University Tournament, so it did not matter much if it started early.
However, the 1,200 classes from all over the world who were participating in the Global University Tournament were not willing.
This year's Global University Tournament was already held in a hurry, and there were too many names on the list of participants, so the officials were unable to take care of them one by one.
Many classes found it difficult to find an empty training ground to use as a base for preparation.
Now that the competition was suddenly brought forward two days, many Western students were still jet-lagged..
"Changing orders day in and day out, yes, yes, yes."
"Putain!"
"Madfocker!"
"I wish the competition team would explode on the spot."
"Vaffanculo..."
"This wave, this wave is good for the country. It will increase the enemy's away game interference to the limit!"
In the face of the dissatisfaction of the universities in various countries, the government only kept repeating an explanation.
[Because it was the first time that a sports meet was held, due to lack of experience, there was even an incident of players eating a billiard table. In order not to insult the Olympic spirit of sports, we hereby cancel all sports events. I hope that the universities and classes will forgive us.]
"Brother Yu! I'm on TV!"
"Get lost."
"Okay."
Soon, it was 1:30 pm.
Chen Yu and the other two returned to the stadium. Under the guidance of the staff, they entered the special lounge for the participating classes.
The room was not big.
But it had a bedroom, a dining room, a living room, and a bathroom.
All kinds of household appliances were also very comprehensive.
As a temporary resting place, it could definitely be considered a high standard.
"There's still half an hour before the start. Let's study the countermeasures for the competition and everyone's growth during this period of time."
Sitting in the middle of the sofa, Chen Yu glanced at the two of them. "Which one of you will go first?"
"Me! Me, me, me!" Duan Ye raised his hand repeatedly. "I'll go first!"
"Okay." Nodding, Chen Yu pointed at Bahuang Yao. "Then Xiao Yao, you go first."
Duan Ye: "..."
"Should... Should Duan Ye go first?"
"No, you go first."
Duan Ye: "..."
"Okay." Looking at Duan Ye, the young girl cupped her hands apologetically. Then, she said seriously, "During this period of time, I ate another half of the Spirit Enhancement Pill, and my Qi level reached 2.4..."
Duan Ye could not help but interrupt, "When I think about how you still have six and a half pills left, I can't help but cry from the corner of my mouth."
"Shut up." Chen Yu patted the table. "Let Xiao Yao continue."
"Oh..." The young girl smiled sheepishly. "I... I'm done. Let Brother Duan Ye speak."
Duan Ye: "Yes!"
"It only increased by 0.1 level?"
"...Yes." The young girl nodded. "I'm afraid that if I eat too much, the control of my strength will be unstable, and it will reduce my fighting strength instead."
Pa!
"Wise."Chen Yu snapped his fingers and looked at Duan Ye. "I'll let you steal the conversation. Alright, it's your turn to speak. Why don't you say 1,000 words and tear off your hair and knit your stockings?"
"No problem! Not to mention 1,000 words, I can even say 3,000 words!" Duan Ye was excited. He jumped and squatted on the coffee table. "First, I'll tell you about my strength..."
"En." Chen Yu made a gesture of invitation. "Speak."
"My strength hasn't increased at all! Don't you think it's awesome?"
Shing--
"Don't... Don't draw your sword. Isn't this suppressing your strength before raising it?" Duan Ye hurriedly jumped down from the coffee table and took two steps back. "Although my strength hasn't increased, my strength has increased by leaps and bounds."
"Such as?" Chen Yu asked.
"Such as this."
After saying that, Duan Ye suddenly pointed at Chen Yu. "Surprise!"
Instantly, Chen Yu's heart felt an inexplicable chill.
Then, the television behind him was cut in half by some kind of force...
"Oh!" Bahuang Yao covered his mouth in shock.
Crash...
The two halves of the LCD TV fell to the ground and shattered.
Chen Yu slowly turned his head and looked at the broken glass, then at Duan Ye. His eyes narrowed. "This is... Bahuang Yi's move."
"To be precise, it's two moves." Duan Ye was proud of himself. "The first move is his space martial arts. He has already learned most of it. The second move is a technique that allows him to use martial arts without exploding his Qi."
Hearing this, Chen Yu was silent for a moment before saying, "Then you can be an assassin."
As a physique expert, he was a representative figure who did not explode his Qi, but had decent combat strength.
He was well aware of the importance of this ability in a complicated geographical environment.
In the underground of Wangdu City, he had relied on his advantage of not using force to launch sneak attacks.
He had taken advantage of the enemy's lack of time to kill whoever he saw.
Now, Duan Ye in front of him also possessed this ability...
Hearing Chen Yu's praise, Duan Ye immediately jumped up on the coffee table and gestured. "We're not just assassins now, we're warriors, mages, and gunmen. A full-scale attack!"
"But the moment you used the martial arts, even though there was no explosion, I could still sense the energy circuit." Chen Yu tilted his head and analyzed, "If you were to deal with an enemy with sharp senses, the probability of success in a sneak attack is not high."
"There's no other way."
Duan Ye spread his hands, "After all, you used martial arts. It's impossible for there to be no signs at all. Unless it's a pervert like you. If you don't explode, you're comparable to a Level 2 martial artist."
"How did you learn this move?" Chen Yu suddenly asked. "Can I learn it too?"
He had been searching for the path of a 'mage' recently.
If he could cast a spell without exploding his Qi like Duan Ye, it would definitely greatly increase his strength.
"Of course you can learn it." Duan Ye was even more proud. He raised the magic staff on his body and opened the cotton cloth. "Look at what this is."
"The Clear Sky Staff!" The staff revealed its true appearance, and Bahuang Yao's expression changed.
"Huh?" Chen Yu was at a loss. He looked around at the slender staff. "What staff?"
Duan Ye said, "...Brother Yu, with your cultural heritage, you'd better not cross the border and continue to be a martial artist."
"Brother... Brother Yu." Bahuang Yao came back to her senses and explained with a complicated look in her eyes, "This is the Clear Sky Staff, a national treasure."
"National treasure..." Chen Yu raised his eyebrows. "Bahuang Yi gave it to you?"
"He lent it to me." Duan Ye gently stroked the body of the staff with his five fingers. "As long as it makes contact with my body, I will enter a bright state and skip the steps of explosive Qi to use martial arts."
"I see." Chen Yu suddenly understood.
"Yes. After a long time, even if the staff is out of hand, it can be in a bright state at any time." Duan Ye wrapped the staff with cotton cloth again. "When I learn it, I will lend it to you."
"How long will it take to learn it?"
"I don't know either."
"How about..." Chen Yu's eyes darted around. "Let's learn it together?"
Duan Ye: "???"
...
"Dear audience members in the stadium."
"Dear audience members in front of the television."
"After an entire year of anticipation, the 29th Global University Tournament has been successfully held!"
In the Bird's Nest Stadium, on the stage in the middle.
The host shouted with an impassioned tone, "Furthermore, we can confidently announce that from the beginning until now, no university competition has ever reached the scale of this year!"
"Participating countries -- 95 countries!"
"Registered universities -- 416!"
"Participating classes -- 1,206!"
"Total number of participants -- 5,788!"
"Broadcast media -- 877!"
"Estimated number of viewers -- 2.4 billion!"
"What does this mean?" the host shouted excitedly, rousing the emotions of the entire audience.
"This is the golden age of all mankind!"
"This is the carnival of all martial artists!"
"This is -- the 29th edition Global University Tournament!"
Boom...
The crowd instantly burst into thunderous applause.
The shouts of hundreds of thousands of people were almost deafening.
The lawn of the stadium seemed to be trembling slightly.
After a full ten minutes, the crowd gradually quieted down.
The host continued, "Then let's not talk too much nonsense. Now, I will introduce the participating 1,206 classes one by one."
"First, the participating classes from our country's Beijing University!"
"Hu..."
As soon as the host finished speaking, boos filled the air.
Many people even raised their middle fingers.
After the Beast Tide incident in Qingcheng City was linked to Beijing University by Stone Hammer, the reputation of this world's top university plummeted.
Day by day, it was getting worse.
Many citizens had changed their lines of greeting when they woke up in the morning.
"Yo, Master Liu, have you eaten? Idiot from Beijing University."
"I've eaten. Hey, the stir-fried liver that I ate was so authentic and so beautiful! Idiot from Beijing University."
"See you later! Idiot from Beijing University."
"Great! Idiot from Beijing University..."
Hearing the boos that filled the sky and looking at the audience that was about to riot, the host's professional quality was excellent. He immediately skipped the introduction of the school and went straight to a photo of Wang exploding. "Next, please welcome class number one, Class 1 of Year 4! Liu Wei, Chun Lei, Bahuang ~ ~ Yi!"
The boos from hundreds of thousands of people stopped.
After a few seconds of silence, they cheered again.
"OHHHHHHHH!"
"Come on!"
"God Yi! I want to give birth to your child!"
"God Yi, God Yi, you're the best! I don't even have to worry about losing my parents!"
"God Yi, God Yi, you're the best! My entire family will never forget you!"
"God Yi!"
Dong! Dong! Dong!
"Awesome!"
Dong! Dong! Dong!
"God Yi!"
Dong! Dong! Dong!
"Awesome!"
Dong! Dong! Dong...
The individual's emotions would be magnified in the crowd.
The audience, who had some restraint, gradually lost their rationality after being led by the fanatical fans around them. They clapped, jumped, waved, and roared crazily...
Amidst this hundred decibels of noise, Bahuang Yao, dressed in a long robe, led her two teammates onto the lawn.
"This b*stard is too eye-catching..."
Outside the field, a black man was eating lemons in fluent Mandarin. "If any of you go up and kick him, I'll give him 100,000 dollars."
"Is it money from a corpse?" his companion asked.
The black man: "..."
"God Yi!"
Dong! Dong! Dong!
"Awesome!"
Dong! Dong! Dong...
When Bahuang Yi made his appearance, the noise at the scene doubled again.
It was so loud that the host could not wait to cover his ears.
"God Yi? Do you want to come up and say a few words?" The host endured the throbbing pain in his eardrums, put down the microphone, and shouted at Bahuang Yi at the top of his voice.
"..."
Bahuang Yi shook his head expressionlessly.
"Understood!"
The host made an 'OK' gesture and quickly raised the microphone. "Okay, Class 1 of Year 4 of Beijing University has appeared. Next, please welcome Class 4 of Year 4, * * , * * and * * * ! Let's give a warm welcome!"
"..."
The originally hot-blooded audience instantly fell silent.
The jubilant atmosphere was completely gone...
"F*ck!"
Outside the stage, the class monitor of Class 4 Year 4 who was preparing to go on stage could not help but feel dejected. He cursed, "F*ck, what the f*ck..."
The teammates of Class 4: "..."
Then, under the introduction of the host, one by one.
Class 4 of Year 4, Class 5 of Year 4, Class 8 of Year 4...
Year 3 Class 1, Year 3 Class 6, Year 3 Class 7...
Year 2 Class 2, Year 2 Class 5...
From high to low, each class went on stage in an orderly manner.
"Brother Yu."
Below the stage, Duan Ye sighed. "God Yi's limelight is too awesome. When can we have this day too?"
"It's unlikely." Chen Yu shook his head, "Bahuang Yi belongs to a special spiritual sustenance in a special era. Its reputation can no longer be surpassed by later generations. Unless..."
"Unless what?" Duan Ye turned his head and asked.
"Unless..."Chen Yu narrowed his eyes. "A genius that far surpasses Bahuang Yi appears out of nowhere and could even destroy the Beast Tide by himself. Then he will become the hero of the entire human race... His reputation will definitely far surpass the current Bahuang Yi."
"The hero of the entire human race..." Duan Ye's eyes gradually blurred. "What you're talking about... is just me."
Chen Yu: "..."
Bahuang Yao: "..."
"Next, let's welcome Year 1 Class 2, Chen Yu, Duan Ye, Bahuang Yi's biological sister -- Bahuang ~ Yao!"
"Wow!"
Bahuang Yi's sister's identity once again attracted the attention of the entire audience.
The cheers quickly spread to the entire venue.
The reporters, media, and other classes who were preparing to participate in the competition also cast their gazes over.
"It's our turn. Let's go on stage." Chen Yu waved his hand domineeringly and pointed straight ahead.
"Okay. But Brother Yu, please take a step first."
"You take a step first."
"I've already taken a step."
"Oh." Chen Yu lowered his head and looked at Duan Ye's lower body. "You took a step with your left leg. I should take a step with my right leg."
"No, you should also take a step with your left leg!"
"Yeah, I'm done. It's your turn."
"Okay, I'm going to step on it... Brother Yu, what are you doing? Don't move! My center of gravity is unstable!"
"You useless mage, your balance is so bad?"
"You still have the nerve to talk about me?" Duan Ye roared and pointed at the magic staff that was 'wearing' the two of them together. "If you didn't have to snatch my magic staff, would I even have to struggle to step on it?"
"Stop babbling. We're like grasshoppers on the same magic staff."
"I'm begging you, we're tied together with the magic staff. We really can't move..."
"Bear with it. Didn't we settle the score? The magic staff is so long, it's too much of a waste for you to take it all by yourself. We'll each take half. If we both stick to each other, won't we be able to train our luminous state at the same time?"
Duan Ye: "I f*cking..."
Chen Yu: "Don't dawdle. Keep walking. Which leg should we take?"
Behind the two of them, Bahuang Yao: "...."
