Chapter 51 – The principal can twist and turn so much even when scolding someone now
Luo Yonghao pressed his lips together, staying silent, and sighed inwardly:
Sigh, it seems the gap between Su Bai and me is only getting wider!
He had witnessed Su Bai's monstrous talent firsthand. Perhaps only Luo Yonghao, Lei Yunxiao, and Zhang Manni truly believed that Su Bai had genuinely advanced to the Bronze Mid Tier!
While the other team members were shocked and incredulous, Su Bai felt his advancement was only natural. He nodded and said calmly:
"Yes, I advanced when I rented the trainer that day."
Finally, Su Bai added in his heart: Is it really that strange?
If you guys are willing to spend twenty-three Bronze Tier Beast Cores, or about thirty million in funds, it wouldn't be hard for you to advance either. It might just take you a bit longer than it did for me.
I really went all out!
These people only saw the glory of Su Bai's rapid advancement but were completely unaware of the hardships he endured behind the scenes.
The Old Principal coughed and continued:
"Ahem, alright, let's get back on track. I'll introduce the competition process to everyone. First, the strongest two teams in our province will be decided."
"Then, in the regions divided by the military into five major war zones—east, south, west, north, and central—the provinces will compete against each other. Each war zone will determine two winning teams to enter the national top ten competition!"
The Old Principal paused and continued, "Our Jiangzhou Province has a total of eight martial academies. The competition will be held at our Jiangzhou Martial Academy. Over the next three days, the other seven martial academies in the province will likely arrive at our school one after another."
"We just need to wait at the school for the other martial academy students to come to us. The military will also send officers to act as referees for this competition."
At this point, Bai Ningbing let out a cold laugh, "Heh, they're just a bunch of nobodies. Principal, I request to fight! I can definitely take them all down!"
The other seniors were also relaxed. Having spent two or three years at the school, they had some contact with students from other martial academies in the province.
Jiangzhou Martial Academy, being a provincial-level martial academy, naturally had a strength that other city-level academies couldn't match.
The Old Principal glanced at Bai Ningbing and said, "The order of battle will be entirely decided by Captain Su Bai. Discuss it with him."
Bai Ningbing was dumbfounded!
Su Bai ignored Bai Ningbing and asked the principal, "Principal, will there be more benefits for the students who participate in the battles?"
The principal nodded and said, "According to the military's planning department, the resources obtained from each match will be divided, with 80% going to the participating team members based on their performance and contribution, and 20% to those who did not participate."
Upon hearing this, Su Bai's eyes lit up with determination and he said with enthusiasm, "Old Principal, rest assured!"
"As captain, I, Su Bai, will definitely lead by example!"
The Old Principal seriously doubted that if there weren't more benefits for participating team members, Su Bai would probably be the one hiding at the back in every match!
This kid's greed had reached such shameless levels!
However, the provincial competition posed no real pressure for Jiangzhou Martial Academy. Among the official team members, perhaps only Luo Yonghao couldn't take down five opponents in a row, while the others could likely handle five from other schools.
The resources obtained from the provincial league accounted for only 10% of the total rewards of the Hundred Schools League. When distributed to the first-place team in each province, these resources seemed quite limited.
Only in the war zone league and the national finals did the resources become truly significant.
It's estimated that winning just one match in the finals would yield more resources than winning the entire provincial league!
Moreover, Su Bai not only possessed a Heaven Tier Technique but could also advance to Bronze Mid Tier within a few days of obtaining resources. The Old Principal felt that Su Bai was the kind of prodigy who could rapidly advance with resources.
Concentrating early resources on Su Bai to make him stronger and then having him lead Jiangzhou Martial Academy further in the Hundred Schools League seemed like a good strategy.
While the Old Principal was deep in thought, Bai Ningbing felt a jolt in his heart.
Could it be that Su Bai plans to hog all the matches for himself?
Damn, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed!
If Su Bai took action, Bai Ningbing would hardly have a chance to participate in the provincial league!
He immediately voiced his dissatisfaction:
"Principal, I protest! Su Bai is using his position for personal gain!"
Wang Qingqing, who had a changed perspective on Su Bai after he obtained the Heaven Tier Technique, no longer gave him a hard time like before.
Seeing Bai Ningbing's protest, the Old Principal's face turned cold, and he said sternly:
"Nonsense! My decision is final. Just follow orders!"
"Anyone with objections can voluntarily withdraw from the team. There are plenty of people eager to join!"
Bai Ningbing: "..."
...
Three days later, in the morning, at the gate of Jiangzhou Martial Academy.
The originally plain stone gate was decorated with red banners, making it vibrant and festive.
A welcome banner was hung at the gate for the seven other city-level martial academies arriving from afar.
"Welcome XXX City Martial Academy to Jiangzhou Martial Academy for the exchange competition."
Hundreds of martial academy students lined up in two rows, standing on either side of the academy gate.
The principal, along with several school leaders and the ten participating team members, stood in the center of the crowd.
Today marked the opening of the Hundred Schools League and the first day of the provincial preliminaries.
The first to arrive at Jiangzhou Martial Academy were the school leaders and ten participants from Longying Martial Academy.
As the bus slowly stopped by the roadside, a middle-aged man led the group towards the Old Principal, smiling as he said:
"Principal Zhou, long time no see. You still look as healthy as ever, hahaha!"
"Are these the participants for the Hundred Schools League behind you?"
The principal of Longying Martial Academy, Wang Li, squinted as he assessed Su Bai and his team, secretly admiring the provincial martial academy's prowess. All the participants were above the Bronze Tier!
The Old Principal walked over to Wang Li with a humble smile, "Oh, they're just a bunch of inexperienced kids. This Hundred Schools League is mainly for them to gain some experience."
When the Old Principal glanced at the ten participants from Longying Martial Academy, he immediately noticed that their highest strength was only three at Bronze Initial Tier, with the rest being ordinary high-tier.
This was perhaps the difference between city-level and provincial-level martial academies. In an instant, the Old Principal dismissed Longying Martial Academy as a threat.
To the Old Principal, the people from Longying Martial Academy were practically here to give away points!
Hearing the Old Principal's words, Wang Li couldn't help but twitch his mouth. All Bronze Tier and still inexperienced?
Then what are we?
Trash?
Damn old man, now you can insult people with so many twists and turns!
