Chapter 305

March 20th,

Today was the 11th day since the National University League began.

At the same time, the final event of the league—the Survival Match—would also begin today!

It was currently 8: 3 a. ., with more than ten minutes left before the match started at nine.

Yet the entire venue, under the morning sunlight, was already packed with spectators!

"Here it comes! Survival Match! The bloodiest, most violent slaughter! The most Rexue battle!"

"I can't wait! I wonder who'll kill more ferocious beasts."

"No doubt it'll be the strongest Lei Di!"

"Not necessarily—Jingda's Shi Zun is also strong; a reversal might happen."

"......"

The Survival Match took place inside a demonic cave near Qingxu City, not inside the stadium.

Spectators here could only watch the live broadcast.

But unlike ordinary livestreams, the contestants' killings of ferocious beasts were never censored, and the footage sometimes appeared quite bloody.

Yet due to their deep hatred of ferocious beasts, spectators felt no discomfort—instead, they eagerly anticipated it.

Some even bet on who would kill more, and faster!

"Survival Match... I heard they're dropping fifth-rank ferocious beasts inside. Won't Xiao Ming be in danger?"

In the inner spectator seats, Xiao Gu's family and Zhou Mingyang had already arrived.

Given that this was a brutal battle against ferocious beasts, Xiao Gu Xu Qingwan couldn't help worrying about Xu Jingming's safety.

"Mom, relax. Every contestant has a distress signal flare and an emergency defense sphere."

"Plus, dozens of eighth-rank Grand Masters and special ability squads are standing by at all times to rescue anyone. Nothing will happen."

Cousin Tang Qi reassured her.

Contestants in the National University League were virtually the most outstanding new generation of talent in all of Daya this year.

If they continued to grow, they would become the backbone of Daya's future.

It was merely a competition—the Ministry of Education would never risk losing them.

All safety measures had been thoroughly implemented.

"As long as there are safety measures, I'm fine." Xu Qingwan finally sighed in relief.

"Auntie, Cousin Tang, good morning."

At that moment, accompanied by a melodious voice, Song Qiuyun walked over from the corridor.

It was March; the weather had warmed, and most spectators wore light clothing.

Song Qiuyun was no different—just jeans and a hoodie, casual attire.

Yet her slender figure, paired with the faint smile on her face,

still struck Tang Qi and the others as breathtaking.

She was still the same person, yet somehow, compared to two days ago,

she seemed even more beautiful, as if she'd gained a touch of deeper maturity...

"Morning."

After a long moment, Cousin Tang Qi snapped out of it and quickly greeted her.

Meanwhile, Xiao Gu Xu Qingwan seemed to have sensed something, her expression thoughtful.

But she naturally wouldn't ask directly—instead, she smiled and asked:

"Has Xiao Ming already gone to the arena?"

"Yes, we parted ways at the stadium entrance." Song Qiuyun replied with a smile.

Since the Survival Match venue was inside the demonic cave,

all contestants had to enter the arena in advance and were then taken separately to different locations within it.

They could only move freely after the match began.

"With the match so close, has Xiao Ming... been feeling well?" Xu Qingwan blinked, as if implying something.

In the past, Song Qiuyun would have simply thought Xiao Gu was concerned about Xu Jingming's health.

But now, she was no longer naive.

Her previously pale face instantly flushed slightly pink, and she replied in a softer voice:

"Yes, he's in great shape..."

Once you've tasted the sweetness, dry tinder and blazing fire don't extinguish easily.

She had planned to let Xu Jingming return to his dorm after training last night, since today was match day.

But after he said, "This level of intensity means nothing," he simply picked her up and carried her into the room.

As Xu Jingming had said, she was the first to surrender again in the late night.

Even this morning, when she woke up, he was still full of energy.

"That's good."

Seeing Song Qiuyun's expression, Xu Qingwan knew her guess was almost certainly right.

Her smile deepened further...

"Welcome back to our coverage of the National University League!

Today, we begin the final event—the Survival Match!"

Time flew by swiftly, and soon it was nine o'clock.

From backstage stepped the host, Feng Le, who, as usual, delivered an enthusiastic welcome speech before explaining the Survival Match rules:

"The Survival Match arena is located inside the demonic cave, within a specially designated area of approximately 400 square kilometers!

In this zone, our organizers have deployed thousands of third-, fourth-, and even fifth-rank ferocious beasts!

Over the ten-day Survival Match, all ten universities—80 contestants total—will engage in the fiercest possible slaughter of these beasts!

The contestant who kills more ferocious beasts, and of higher rank, earns a higher score!

Of course,

the Survival Match does not prohibit contestants from fighting each other.

Any contestant who surrenders voluntarily or whose defense sphere activates is considered eliminated, and half their score is transferred to the victor.

To better track each contestant's movements, we've installed high-precision cameras above the entire arena.

Now, let's take a look at the contestants currently inside the arena!!"

Zzzzzz~~~~

Amid a low hum of machinery, eighty holographic projections slowly rose into the air above the stadium.

Each hologram displayed the figure of one contestant.

The first five holograms were much larger than the others!

On the first screen stood a tall, lean young man clad in black battle gear, standing on a forest clearing.

In his hand, he gripped a thick, dark-gold, fearsome spear!

It was none other than Xu Jingming, captain of the Moda team!

The second screen showed Wang Qi, captain of Jingda; the rest were captains from other major universities.

In the upper-right corner of each individual screen appeared basic information: name, university, score, ranking.

To the right of the entire holographic display was a massive mini-map.

On the map, eighty glowing dots represented each contestant's position, faintly shimmering.

From the map, it was clear that every contestant was positioned far apart within the arena.

"So cool, Lei Di!"

"Moda is the strongest!"

"Jingda, go!"

"......"

After the holograms appeared, the entire stadium erupted! Cheers and shouts thundered!

Amid this ecstatic clamor, host Feng Le loudly announced:

"The final event of the National University League—the Survival Match—is now officially underway!!"
