Chapter 307: Is Mo University Going to Lose? Vice Principal Ling, Dare You Bet?

Xu Jingming's score has already risen so high...

Wang Qi, upon seeing the score rankings, also glanced with flickering eyes.

He had 2121 points; Xu Jingming had 6310—over four thousand points higher!

Although this was partly because he had been searching for teammates instead of actively hunting beasts.

But even if he had fought at full capacity, his score would barely reach three thousand—still far behind Xu Jingming.

Though he hated to admit it, in terms of slaying beasts, Xu Jingming was vastly superior.

"By the way, Xu Jingming's score rose over a thousand last night—he seems to have rested not at all." Han Shan mused.

"How do you know so much?" Zou Taizhi couldn't help retorting.

During the survival contest, most competitors only checked their own rankings, glancing at the overall list once every seven or eight hours.

He knew Xu Jingming's score was high, but he never realized Xu Jingming was pushing himself this hard.

After all, night was when beasts were most active.

For caution's sake, he and Wang Qi had taken turns keeping watch and resting these past two nights.

"If you were stuck hiding in some cave like me, you'd know just as well," Han Shan said softly.

These past two days, he'd been constantly on the run—bored out of his mind, aside from practicing his ability training method.

He'd read the smart bracelet's manual several times, let alone the overall rankings.

He checked them every few minutes...

"Why does Xu Jingming kill so many beasts? He's just building up points for the final three days' battles."

Another Jing University member trailing behind Wang Qi didn't care at all.

For the ten-day survival contest, the map and each competitor's location weren't revealed in the early stages.

But once Day 7 arrived, the entire competition zone's map and all location data would be published.

At that point, nearly all competitors would abandon hunting beasts and focus on eliminating other contestants to steal points.

"True, Xu Jingming's points will just be serving as a gift for us."

"Let's go find the rest of our teammates..."

Shaking his head, Wang Qi led the group—including Han Shan, captain of the Jin University team—away quickly.

"Damn! Lei Di's beast-slaying efficiency is insane!"

"What the hell! I saw Lei Di slaying beasts last night, and now he's still at it this morning?!"

The stadium,

As spectators gradually arrived, they watched Xu Jingming's score climb and couldn't help bursting into exclamations.

Xu Jingming's score was simply too high—it surpassed the combined scores of second and third place.

"Is Lei Di even human or a machine? I've been watching nonstop for two days and two nights, and I haven't seen him rest a single moment!"

After each day's competition, the stadium cleared out for team and individual events.

But the survival contest was different—ten days and ten nights of live broadcast!

The stadium remained open; spectators could stay as long as they wished.

So some die-hard fans simply didn't leave at all!

And surprisingly, there were quite a few like that.

Since the survival contest began three days ago, at least ten thousand of the stadium's sixty-thousand capacity had pulled two all-nighters.

And in this intense viewing marathon, they made a shocking discovery:

Not only were they pulling all-nighters, but Xu Jingming inside the competition zone was doing the same!

He was either hunting beasts or on his way to hunt them—nonstop.

"No wonder he won the individual championship—this endurance is incredible!" someone whispered in awe.

In these days of competition, most of the 80 survival contestants took time to rest and recover their abilities.

Only Xu Jingming never stopped moving—even energy bars were consumed while sprinting.

Yet his terrifying golden thunder never showed a single sign of fatigue.

"Hey, Wang Qi met Han Shan!"

As everyone marveled at Xu Jingming's strength, another spectator noticed the third holographic screen.

"Han Shan's getting eliminated now."

"After hiding for two days, he was finally found."

"Can't say he's not unlucky—he didn't even meet one teammate."

"..."

Support-type ability users always performed poorly in survival contests.

No one was surprised by Han Shan's performance as Jin University's captain.

Just as everyone expected Wang Qi to swiftly eliminate Han Shan,

the three on the hologram spoke for a while—and then left together.

Instantly,

the entire spectator stand fell silent, then erupted in stunned disbelief:

"What the hell? Jing University and Jin University teamed up?!"

"Oh no, Mo University is going to lose!"

"Damn it! Jing and Jin are totally playing dirty!"

"..."

Although Han Shan, captain of Jin University, was weak individually, once he teamed up with even one ally,

his strength would surge dramatically.

The survival contest ranked schools by the total score of all their members.

If Jing and Jin united, their beast-slaying efficiency would skyrocket!

More crucially, competitors from other universities would be eliminated rapidly.

Even Xu Jingming, the individual champion and strongest solo fighter, would be powerless against such a coalition...

"Tsk tsk—Jing and Jin teaming up? Clearly Xu Jingming's pressure on them was too great."

Inside the arena, teachers from various universities were also taken aback.

While inter-university cooperation wasn't forbidden in the survival contest, it was considered unsportsmanlike.

Few universities ever did it—especially not elite ones like Jing and Jin.

But once they joined forces, sweeping the rest of the universities was certain—even Mo University couldn't escape.

Unconsciously,

many instructors turned toward Mo University's spectator section.

They wanted to see how Vice Principal Ling Shuang would react to this news.

Indeed, this usually cold and composed vice principal of Mo University,

now had her delicate brows slightly furrowed—clearly unprepared for this turn of events.

"Ling principal, didn't I refuse your team contest bet the day before yesterday?"

Jing University's vice principal Xu Ping smiled. "How about a bet on the survival contest? I wager Jing University wins."

With the two schools united, any observer could see Mo University had no chance.

He didn't expect Ling Shuang to accept—he was merely returning her remark from the team contest.

But then, Ling Shuang spoke calmly:

"Fine. One SS-class resource, plus one S-class resource—I bet Mo University wins."

"Good, one SS-class resource plus one S-class resource—I bet we Mo Da wins."
