Chapter 268

The rewards issued by a tournament organized by such an alliance would naturally not be poor.

The value of the rewards issued each year was about the same as the 1000 academic credits issued by Suhang University.

"The reward for entering the fifth round of the single-player tournament this year should be better than last year."

Zhou Yi, leading everyone out of the villa, said with a smile.

"Hmm? Why?"

Jiang Chu blinked her clear, large eyes.

"Because of the Level 3 combat readiness state."

Zhou Yi explained, "After the Level 3 combat readiness state was activated, the resources the state issued to all universities in the country doubled!"

"And the National University Freshman Exchange Tournament is also hosted by the Xia Yan Professional Alliance, which has official backing. Tell me, could the reward they give us be worse than last year?"

"Oh, right!"

Jiang Chu suddenly realized.

In a Level 3 combat readiness state, the state would place even greater importance on the cultivation of geniuses.

And the 8 contestants who could enter the fifth round of the National University Freshman Exchange Tournament were geniuses among geniuses!

Under such circumstances, the rewards issued would naturally be higher!

"Ooh~, a better reward than last year? I'm getting excited!"

Liu Yang looked excited, and the remaining Cai Hua and others also had their eyes light up.

Of course...

Except for those substitutes on the team who knew their own strength was insufficient.

"Zhou Yi!"

"Captain Zhou, morning!"

"Zhou Yi, morning."

"..."

Perhaps it was because the strength Zhou Yi displayed in yesterday's battle was too astonishing.

When Zhou Yi and his group entered the team rest area inside the gymnasium, students from other university teams greeted them enthusiastically one after another.

"Sure enough, strength is everything."

Zhou Yi sighed inwardly.

In the past, when he came to the rest area as just a support-class player, although some people would take the initiative to greet him, there were definitely not as many as today!

Nodding slightly in acknowledgment, Zhou Yi and the others sat down in the back row of the Suhang University rest area.

As for Wu Mang, Su Mei, and the other two team leaders, they sat in the very front.

As time passed, one university team after another entered the rest area under the guidance of their mentors.

Among them was the group from Capital University.

Because of yesterday's battle, all six official members of Capital University were seriously injured, including Wang Xuan, Li Yuan, and Xia Lan, who had entered the fourth round of the single-player tournament.

After a day of treatment yesterday, although these three still looked a bit pale and might not be able to exert their full strength, there were no problems with basic combat and movement.

Of course, the remaining three official members who did not enter the fourth round of the single-player tournament were still lying in the hospital ward, receiving further treatment.

"Xiao Ran, the fruit yesterday was good, very sweet, thank you."

At this moment, the elf girl Xia Lan walked over and sat down next to Jiang Chu.

As a Sharpshooter, she mainly added points to her Strength and Agility attributes.

The equipment she wore was the same as Jiang Chu's: leather armor.

However, unlike Jiang Chu's black leather armor, the leather armor she wore was pale green, as if carrying the aura of a forest.

Xia Lan's height was about 1. meters, and her figure was also very good, paired with that exquisite and quiet face, she was extremely eye-catching.

However, a slight flaw was that her exquisite face looked a bit pale...

"I'm glad you liked it."

Jiang Chu smiled lightly, "By the way, how are you feeling today? Is your injury better?"

"It's okay, my strength has recovered more than half."

"But if I want to fully recover, it should take another day."

Mentioning her injury, Xia Lan looked at Zhou Yi with some resentment:

"Your Brother Zhou Yi is too ruthless, he doesn't know how to cherish the fairer sex at all..."

As the possessor of an elf bloodline, Xia Lan was naturally beautiful.

If it were an ordinary boy, facing this look of resentment, he would inevitably be a bit flustered...

Zhou Yi was clearly not in that category; his expression was very calm.

Since it was a competition, injuries were natural.

Of course...

Xia Lan was also very clear about this, and she didn't bring it up again.

At nine o'clock sharp in the morning, the host arrived at the podium on time.

"Welcome everyone to the fourth round of the National University Freshman Exchange Tournament!"

"Today, 8 peerless geniuses who will advance to the fifth round of the single-player tournament will be decided!"

The host's high-pitched and loud voice echoed throughout the gymnasium.

"However, before the competition begins, it is necessary for me to announce the rewards from our Xia Yan Professional Alliance for the contestants entering the subsequent rounds of the single-player tournament."

"First, the 8 contestants who enter the fifth round of the single-player tournament will each receive a bottle of S- grade magic potion!!"

When the host's voice fell, the entire gymnasium boiled over!

"Holy crap?! It's actually an S- grade magic potion?"

"As expected of the Xia Yan Professional Alliance, they are so generous!"

"Good heavens, an S- grade potion, even a Third-Turn professional would covet it, right?"

"Compared to last year, this year's rewards are on a completely different level!"

"..."

An A+ grade potion and an S- grade potion seem to differ by only one grade.

But in terms of value, an S- grade potion is dozens of times more expensive than an A+ grade potion!

"S- grade potion! It seems I must go all out in this single-player tournament!"

In the university rest area, some professional contestants also became excited.

They knew very well what kind of terrifying improvement a bottle of S- grade potion would bring!

"If you can get an S- grade potion just by entering the fifth round, then what if you continue to advance?"

This question surfaced in many people's minds, but fortunately, the host continued to announce immediately:

"The 4 contestants who continue to advance to the sixth round can obtain an S-grade resource!!"

"The 2 contestants who advance to the seventh round can choose an Epic-tier weapon!"

"And the final champion of the single-player tournament will receive a one-time opportunity for a custom-made weapon by the weapon-refining master Qi Jun of our Xia Yan Professional Alliance!!"

S-grade resource!

Epic-tier weapon!

After the rewards were announced, the eyes of all the contestants in the rest area who had a certain amount of confidence in their strength turned red!

"Must! Must get a higher ranking!"

"S-grade resource! I can get it just by entering the sixth round! I have a chance!"

"For the Epic-tier weapon, go all out!"

"..."

One contestant after another was filled with fighting spirit, extremely excited.

"The champion's reward is actually an opportunity for weapon refining by the master Qi Jun!"

In the Modu University rest area, Wei He's eyes flashed with brilliance: "The championship, I must get it!"

On the other side, in the Suhang University rest area, Zhou Yi was a bit puzzled about the competition rewards:
