The freshman knockout round arrived as scheduled after a week's delay.
Thirty-eight freshmen who were selected in advance gathered in a small training ground in the academy.
For them, if they defeated their opponents in the first round, they would not be eliminated, and among the remaining 19 defeated contestants , will face off again.
For this kind of low-level competition, except for the contestants, basically no students would be interested in coming to watch.
Zhao Xinan had already said hello to the instructors of each class, but none of them came.
He could handle it by hosting it alone.
Of course , he was very surprised that Vice Dean Yao Kai said that he would come to watch.
He didn't know what happened to Yao Kai suddenly.
The annual knockout competition for freshmen was originally very ordinary, but this year it looked different because of the presence of several special people.
The first special person is naturally Murong Chuixue.
As the boss of Qingshui Zhai, the largest student organization in the Lower House, Murong Chuixue’s appearance makes people feel unusual.
Murong Chuixue is also accompanied by a person, Jiang Shengchao, one of the top ten Vajras in Qingshui Zhai.
Murong Chuixue said hello to Zhao Xinan, and then sat beside Zhao Xinan carelessly, while Jiang Shengchao stood behind him.
According to regulations, the game started at ten o'clock in the morning.
Zhao Xinan looked up at the huge clock hanging on the wall and muttered to a middle-aged man next to him, "Yao Kai, this old man, is a liar.
No wait, let's count the people." , prepare for the game.”
The middle-aged man was Zhao Xinan's assistant.
He took the roster and walked up to the players.
"Here we will count the number of people.
Those whose names are called will answer."
"Zeng Deshuang" "arrive" "Hu Feifei" "arrive" ,,,,,,, "Ye Jian" No one answered below.
The middle-aged man raised his head and shouted again, "Ye Jian" "arrive" A crisp reply came from the door in the distance.
Everyone couldn't help but look back, and saw a slender young man in a green shirt walking in quickly, followed by an extraordinary girl in a purple dress, bright and eye-catching. .
Murong Chuixue's eyes twitched and she felt a little headache.
The person who came with Ye Jian was naturally Ling Xiaoxiao.
Ye Jian felt that he could do it alone, but Ling Xiaoxiao insisted on sending him here, "If Murong Chuixue sends someone to kidnap you halfway, you won't be able to participate in the competition.
There is no way to escape the fate of being eliminated.”
Ye Jian had no choice but to compromise and let Ling Xiaoxiao accompany him to the training ground for the knockout round.
However, along the way, he looked at the two of them with strange eyes.
"I think I am now the common enemy of all the boys in the academy.
Your hatred is so powerful."
"Shut up and stop being so glib." ,,,,,,, Ye Jian glanced at Murong Chuixue sitting on the referee's table and Jiang Shengchao standing behind him, and stood silently among the players.
Ling Xiaoxiao walked up to Zhao Xinan and said, "Hello, Director Zhao."
"Ouch, Miss Xiaoxiao, what kind of wind has brought you here?"
"Do you mind if I come to see the excitement?"
"What are you talking about?
We can only hope to have a genius like you in the upper house to cheer for our junior brothers and sisters."
"Ouch, isn't this Mr.
Murong, the boss of Qingshui Zhai?
Why, you are here to be the referee today?"
Ling Xiaoxiao looked at Murong Chuixue and said sarcastically.
Murong Chuixue did not expect that Ling Xiaoxiao would come in person today.
If she had known that he would be beaten to death, he would not come.
At that moment, she had to bite the bullet and said, "Senior Sister Xiaoxiao is joking.
How can I be qualified to be a referee?

I just came here to take a look.
Just watch.”
"Report to Director Zhao, all 38 students participating in the freshman elimination round are here, please give instructions."
After the middle-aged man counted the number of people, he ran over and said loudly.
Zhao Xinan nodded and waved his hand, "Let's start drawing lots."
The middle-aged man took a lottery tube and walked up to the players.
There were red and blue bamboo sticks in the lottery tube.
The player who won the red No. 1 lottery would play against the player with the blue No. 1 lottery.
Rather than calling lots, it was actually a middle-aged man who was handing out lots.
Every time he walked in front of a player, the middle-aged man would take out a lot and hand it to him.
The middle-aged man walked up to Ye Jian and handed Ye Jian a blue bamboo stick.
Ye Jian did not reach out to take it, but said deliberately, "I want the red one, red is auspicious."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and handed Ye Jian a red bamboo stick.
Ye Jian noticed that the appearance of the red bamboo stick and the blue bamboo stick were slightly different from other bamboo sticks. , the tops of other bamboo sticks are pointed, but the tops of these two bamboo sticks are flat.
Ye Jian's eyes followed the middle-aged man's hand, watching him continue to hand out bamboo sticks to the remaining students.
He gave the blue flat-top bamboo stick to a young man wearing black clothes.
The young man in black has a handsome face, but his clothes are relatively simple.
At a glance, you can tell that he is a child of a poor family.
The young man in black seemed to notice that Ye Jian was looking at him.
He raised his head and glanced at Ye Jian.
Their eyes met.
Both of them were shocked, and they both knew what the other was thinking.
The young man in black seemed a little timid and turned his head away, no longer looking at Ye Jian.
Ye Jian knew that everyone who cheated in exams had the same mentality.
The young man in black in front of him was probably Murong Chuixue and the others who had planted themselves in to impersonate others to participate in the knockout round to deal with Yang Yan.
After all, Yang Yan was participating in the competition under an impersonation, so he had some psychological problems.
Xu, if Ye Jian can successfully report him for taking the exam, Yang Yan will probably be severely punished even if he is not expelled from the academy.
"Okay, the drawing is over, let's start the competition.
The winning party can leave the examination room, and the losing party stays to continue preparing for the next examination."
The middle-aged man stood in the center of the training ground, "Red No. 1 vs.
Blue No. 1."
Red No. 1 is a boy and Blue No. 1 is a girl.
After the two saluted the referee and invigilator Zhao Xinan, they immediately started a duel.
Boy No. 1 Red is good at using fire element attacks, while Blue No. 1 is good at using ice element attacks.
The two seem to be evenly matched, attacking left and right in the training ground, chasing each other.
Ye Jian looked at it for a few times and suddenly realized something was wrong.
The boy with red number 1 could still fight for a few times at the beginning, but after ten moves he was at a clear disadvantage.
The girl with blue number 1 was always able to handle it with ease, which showed that it seemed to be about the same, but The expert could tell at a glance that he was much higher than the boy named Red 1, and he just deliberately suppressed his cultivation.
"Cheating, taking the test, absolutely."
Ye Jian suddenly realized that this cheating practice was also prevalent in Qingzhou Academy.
It was not just his own competition.
It was estimated that one-third of the 38 contestants were taking the exam for others.
Ye Jian's guess was correct.
It was indeed the case.
Those rich people would pay high prices to ask fellow villagers, brothers and sisters for help.

Anyway, everyone turned a blind eye to this kind of knockout competition.
Some people even bribed Zhao Xinan's assistant, and then the assistant Give part of the bribe to Zhao Xinan.
Sure enough, after more than ten moves, the girl No. 1 Blue lost her patience and directly launched a move of Xuan Bing Palm.
A cold wave that was much stronger than before hit the boy No. 1 Red.
The boy's face changed, he raised his hand and gritted his teeth to strike.
A small fireball.
Bang The boy fell back several meters.
"Blue No. 1 wins, Red No. 1 loses."
The middle-aged man immediately shouted, and the woman No. 1 in Blue immediately lowered her head and hurriedly walked out of the training ground.
Boy No. 1 punched the ground with his fist, tears welling up in his eyes.
"It's so dark," Ye Jian said in his heart ,,,,,,, In the next few games, there will be people who take the test and those who don’t.
Generally, those who take the test will determine the winner after ten moves.
Those who take the test are all right, while those who are not taking the test by both sides will decide the winner. , it often takes forty or even fifty moves to defeat before you can win with a slight advantage.
It is not easy for these people to enter Qingzhou Academy.
No one is willing to give up, and they even risk their lives and suffer bloody blows.
Several duels can be described as brutal.
In the end, the two men bit each other with their teeth, pulled their hair, and roared hysterically with tears in their eyes.
Ye Jian couldn't even bear to look at it.
Life is real, and reality is cruel.
This is a world of the law of the jungle.
Fight for money, fight for wisdom, fight for strength, fight for connections, and fight for scheming.
You must always have an advantage to surpass others in order to survive.
"Red No. 12, versus Blue No. 12."
"Red No. 12, whoever got the red No. 12, get out of the queue."
The middle-aged man shouted, and Ye Jian was startled.
He looked at the bamboo stick in his hand and saw that it was Red No. 12.
Ye Jian walked to the center of the training ground.
At this time, the young man in black was already waiting in the center
