Chapter 300: Team Competition Ends! Finally, the Rest Day Arrives!

"We won!"

"No wonder you're captain! Amazing!"

When Xu Jingming led the team back to the Ma Da audience seating, Su Ruoyun and the other substitute members immediately came over to congratulate them.

Their faces were all lit up with bright smiles, clearly delighted.

After all, winning the championship meant they, as substitute members, would also be remembered in school history.

Additionally, the championship rewards from the league officials and the credit rewards from the school were both extremely generous.

"Jingming, well done. There's still one final survival competition left."

"Once we win that, we'll be champions in all three events—the most prestigious championship of all!"

Yang Zhentian said with a smile.

Though Ma Da was strong, the other schools weren't just sitting idle.

In past competitions, Ma Da could win the championship, but usually only claimed two event titles.

The remaining event's championship was either taken by Jingda or Jindag.

But this year, with Xu Jingming on the team, they had a chance to win the third event's championship!

"Leave it to me."

Xu Jingming's voice was steady and powerful, his clear black-and-white eyes faintly gleaming.

Among the three major events of the National University League, the survival competition was the one he looked forward to most!

Then he could ruthlessly slay ferocious beasts and harvest a massive wave of ability points!

Ma Da's victory over Jingda, completing a nine-game winning streak, meant the team competition had effectively ended.

Some spectators even stood up and began leaving.

But there were five matches scheduled for the morning, and Ma Da vs. Jingda was the third.

Two more matches remained.

Ordinary spectators could leave, but each university's representative team had to show proper respect.

Thus, Xu Jingming and the others did not leave; they stayed to watch until the final match ended.

"The fifth round of team competition has concluded! Let's congratulate Suzhou Energy University on their victory in this match!"

"This match is also the final match of this year's team competition!"

"Now, let's announce the final team competition rankings for all universities!"

As the host spoke, a scoreboard suddenly appeared in the midair holographic projection:

Rank 1: Mudou Energy University, 9 wins, 0 losses

Rank 2: Qingjing Energy University, 8 wins, 1 loss

Rank 3: Jincheng Energy University, 7 wins, 2 losses

Each university's ranking and win count was clearly displayed.

"Rankings announced! Mudou Energy University is the champion!"

"And thus, the team competition has come to a close."

"The upcoming survival competition will begin punctually at 9 a. m. the day after tomorrow!"

"We welcome all spectators to attend! Thank you!"

Amid the host's farewell, the audience laughed and chatted as they rose to leave.

"Ugh, finally over. We get a full day of rest."

"Anyone going to the downtown center this afternoon? We can go together."

"Me me me! I'm going!"

"I'm not going. I'm just resting at the villa."

"Tsk, so boring."

"......"

The members of the Mudou team began planning their rest schedules.

Active members like Yao Fang and Shen Dongling wanted to visit the bustling downtown center.

While reclusive ones like Kong Shi preferred to stay at the villa.

Yang Zhentian observed everyone's relaxation but said nothing.

After nine straight days of battle, they truly needed rest.

Of course, this was also because Ma Da had already secured the league championship.

If this were last year's league representative team...

Rest?

What's rest?

There's still one event left—how could they dare rest?

"Captain, we're planning to head downtown this afternoon. Are you coming?"

After some discussion, Gu Wan walked up with a smile and asked Xu Jingming.

"You guys go ahead."

Xu Jingming shook his head, and beside him, Yao Fang teased:

"Your girlfriend's been waiting for days—do you really think you can go out with us? You must be dreaming."

"Oh right, I forgot."

Everyone knew about Song Qiuyun's existence.

Now reminded, they realized their oversight and immediately apologized for the disturbance.

"Alright, Captain, we're leaving you to your own devices then."

"Go ahead." Xu Jingming nodded.

After saying goodbye to Teacher Yang, he walked toward Song Qiuyun and the others.

"Xiao Ming, congratulations."

"Big Brother Ming, awesome! First place in both solo and team events!"

As he approached, his aunt Xu Qingwan and Zhou Mingyang and the others beamed with smiles, offering congratulations all at once.

Song Qiuyun also rose from her seat, stepping forward with her long, rounded legs.

In three quick strides, she reached Xu Jingming's side and gently smoothed the wrinkles in his battle robe with her slender hands.

She lifted her lovely face slightly, smiling like a blooming flower, and said:

"You must be exhausted..."

"It's fine—the battle intensity wasn't that high," Xu Jingming replied with a calm smile.

Compared to the six straight days and nights of nonstop fighting in the Thundering Secret Realm.

This intensity really means nothing.

"By the way, Aunt, Cousin."

"I'm planning to go downtown with Qiuyun this afternoon—do you want to come along?"

Xu Jingming turned to look at his aunt and the group.

After all, people aren't machines; having won both championships, he wanted to relax a little.

Last night, he had already discussed with Song Qiuyun going to the center of Qingjing City this afternoon.

After all, they had come all the way to the capital—ignoring the downtown would be unreasonable.

"You two go ahead. We won't join you."

Having built a major company, his aunt and the others naturally had high emotional intelligence.

At this moment, they absolutely shouldn't tag along.

"I..."

Zhou Mingyang had been about to agree, but before he could finish speaking, Meng Di kicked him hard on the shin.

The pain made him bend over, clutching his leg, leaving no time to speak further.

Xu Jingming noticed this small gesture and couldn't help smiling, nodding:

"Alright then, Aunt, you all take care of yourselves."

With that, he took Song Qiuyun's hand and turned to leave.

In past competitions, Xu Jingming had occasionally sat with Song Qiuyun to watch matches.

But in public, he had never made overly intimate gestures.

Thus, among the spectators still lingering, several young girls felt their hearts shatter at the sight.

"Ah, Lei Di seems to have a girlfriend!"

"My god, my god!"

"That girl actually looks quite beautiful."

"True—why does it feel like they're truly made for each other?"

"..."

Among girls, the first thing they notice is always appearance, then body.

Yet in comparison to Song Qiuyun, many girls suddenly felt deeply inadequate...
