Chapter 379

For instance, in that match at the exchange tournament seven years ago, it was also two universities, and one university's captain was also severely injured and unable to compete.

But that top university, relying on the team's powerful coordination and strength, fought through severe injuries and stubbornly defeated the other university.

It is quite a coincidence that those two universities back then were exactly Magic Capital University and Suhang University.

And Magic Capital University was precisely the one that turned the tide from a desperate situation.

"I wonder if Magic Capital University can recreate the miracle from seven years ago."

A middle-aged spectator said with a smile.

As loyal viewers of the exchange tournament, they had missed almost none of the matches every year.

Time passed rapidly, and all universities in the rest area had arrived.

The spectator stands inside the gymnasium were filled; a glance revealed a sea of black, accompanied by the roar of a boiling crowd.

"Everyone—"

Suddenly, accompanied by the familiar high-pitched voice, the host walked to the front stage.

As the host of the exchange tournament being broadcast live to the entire nation, his appearance was handsome, his posture stood straight, and his looks could be described as flawless.

"Everyone, after yesterday's exciting individual matches concluded, for the next three days, we will continue with the team competition events."

"On the first day today, there are a total of six team competition matches."

"Among them, Suhang University and Magic Capital University will also take the field."

"However, before the match officially begins, please allow me to announce the rewards from our Xiayanlian Alliance for the top three teams in the team competition to all contestants and spectators."

The host wore a gentle smile on his face, his temperament refined and elegant:

"First, the third place in the team competition!

All member contestants of the third-place university, including substitute members, will receive a set of custom-made Gold Rank three-star equipment according to their level!"

"For the second place in the team competition, everyone will receive a set of custom-made Gold Rank four-star equipment!"

Whoosh—

As the words fell, the entire gymnasium boiled over.

"Custom-made full sets of Gold Rank three-star and four-star equipment, this is too extravagant!"

"Indeed, three-star equipment is fine, but every piece of four-star equipment is enchanted!"

"I'm envious; the rewards for this year's exchange tournament have more than doubled compared to last year!"

"......"

Do not look at the fact that almost every student in the three major universities already has a set of Gold Rank equipment in hand.

But for ordinary practitioners, having just one piece of Gold Rank equipment is already good!

Let alone being able to obtain a full set of Gold Rank equipment.

And not just ordinary one-star or two-star, but three-star and four-star with higher attribute bonuses!

"Besides the second and third places, for all members of the first-place university in the team competition, our Xiayanlian Alliance will reward a set of custom-made Epic Rank two-star equipment!"

The host's high-pitched voice rang out again.

This time, not only the spectators, but even the various top universities were surprised.

"Epic Rank equipment, this is truly rare to see..."

Many teachers and students sighed with emotion.

However, they also knew that the first place in the team competition had absolutely nothing to do with them...

"One set of Epic Rank two-star equipment per person; the Xiayanlian Alliance is truly wealthy and bold."

In the Suhang University rest area, Zhou Yi could not help but click his tongue.

In terms of value, the Handle of Legend Rank weapon he won as the individual champion is even higher than four or five sets of Epic Rank equipment!

But he cannot stop the sheer quantity!

A university has ten contestants; each contestant can wear seven pieces of equipment: upper garment, lower garment, belt, shoes, weapon, necklace, and ring.

Excluding the weapon, everyone can receive six pieces of Epic Rank equipment!!

Ten people means sixty pieces of Epic Rank equipment.

The combined value of these sixty pieces of equipment is likely enough to forge two Handles of Legend Rank and still have surplus.

Of course, Zhou Yi also knew that this would only happen under a Level Three Preparedness State.

Otherwise, even the Xiayanlian Alliance would not be so extravagant.

"However, it benefits us."

Zhou Yi grinned.

The first match later will be between Suhang University and Magic Capital University.

As long as Magic Capital University is defeated, this Epic Rank equipment will basically be within their grasp.

"The rewards have been announced!"

"Next, we will officially begin the first match of the team competition for these days!"

"Please welcome the Suhang University representative team and the Magic Capital University representative team to the stage!"

As the host's voice fell, a Lei Mingban roar of cheers and shouts immediately erupted inside the gymnasium.

Listening closely, one could also hear many shouts for popular contestants like Zhou Yi and Jiang Churan.

"Let's go!"

Zhou Yi's gaze sharpened, and the Dark Dragon Light Armor immediately covered his entire body.

The mysterious black Weeping Blood Battle Axe was slanted across his back, firmly held by the slots on the light armor.

The Weeping Blood Battle Axe's weight of over a thousand kilograms had no effect on him; it seemed to merely make his figure more steady.

Led by Zhou Yi, Jiang Churan, Song Xialan, and the other five walked up to the arena together.

"Hangzhou University!"

"Zhou Yi!"

"Modu University!"

"......"

Amid the tsunami-like cheers all around, both sides' contestants stepped onto the arena, each deploying their formation three hundred meters apart.

Same as before, on Hangzhou University's side, Zhou Yi charged at the very front, standing at the foremost position.

While Jiang Churan, Song Xialan, and the others stood beside the tank-positioned Cai Hua.

The mage Liu Yang was protected at the very back by the off-tank.

On Modu University's side, because the key figure Wei He was seriously injured, they had substituted in a summoner who looked extremely petite and adorable — a little loli.

The entire team was arranged in a defensive posture.

"Both sides' contestants, take your positions!"

"Three...... two...... one...... begin!"

At the host's command, the entire five-hundred-by-five-hundred square arena was completely enveloped by a pale-white, thick energy shield.

And on the arena, both teams immediately began battle!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!......

Under Zhou Yi's lead, the six members of Hangzhou University charged toward Modu University's side.

During the charge, Zhou Yi's amplification buffs never ceased for a moment, applied to every team member.

Carrying a sacred aura, the entire team radiated an incomparably fierce, oppressive presence!!

"Everyone, brace yourselves — even if we can't win, we still have to shine with our own brilliance!"

On Modu University's side, the vice-captain priest was rallying everyone.

At the same time, he also cast several amplification skills similar to mental focus.

And the team's mage had begun skill incantation, while the remaining warriors and knights all wore solemn faces.

"Everyone's giving it their all — I can't fall behind either!"

"Little Red, Little Pink!"

The newly substituted little-loli summoner, named Sun Jiao, was also putting in tremendous effort.

She swiftly summoned over a hundred summons.

Among them were magical beasts as well as various elemental summons.

Though this summoned army couldn't compare to Wang Xuan's mechanical army, it still looked quite impressive.
