Chapter 90: Opening Ceremony

When Chen Fan and the four arrived at the playground, it was already a sea of people.

Standing in front of the playground were six Grandmaster powerhouses.

They were the Deans of Instruction of the six colleges respectively.

Chen Fan and Gao Yuan quickly arrived in front of Tian Xiong and stood in line.

Zhao Mingze and Wen Hua went to the queues of their respective colleges.

Not long after, more than 3,000 freshmen poured in here.

Everyone knew that today was the freshman competition, so they all brought combat weapons.

And the team of the Beast Taming Academy was even more lively, with many strange-looking strange beasts following the freshmen.

At this time, this group of students was still mostly sleepy.

"The school is too much, using expulsion to scare us, what time is it!"

At this time, many freshmen were panting and full of resentment.

Most of them had messy hairstyles, and many were even dressed improperly.

After all, it is about three or four kilometers from the dormitory area to the playground.

If it weren't for running wildly all the way, they might not have been able to arrive on time.

However, just when everyone was complaining in a low voice, a roar sounded at the entrance of the playground.

"Time is up, get out, you are expelled!"

Everyone was startled and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a figure blocking more than a dozen students who had not had time to enter the playground.

This figure was tall and straight, with powerful momentum, and exuded a unique temperament of a soldier.

This group of students outside the door were all unruly masters. They didn't take the school's words of expelling them to heart, so they were slow on the way.

But at this time, they were really locked out.

"Why expel us! We were just late for a while!"

This group of students immediately had someone take the lead in protesting, filled with righteous indignation.

However, the next moment, a huge palm directly fanned them out more than ten meters away.

"What nonsense! Get out if I tell you to!" This teacher had a very bad temper.

He looked at the students on the ground and said coldly: "If this were in the army, your behavior would be deliberately delaying the fighter plane, and you should be beheaded according to the order."

"Now it's just expelling you, which is already considered merciful."

"I don't accept it, this is a university, not an army, why expel us!" This group of students was extremely angry.

Just because of being late for the opening ceremony, they were expelled. Whoever it was would be unconvinced in their hearts.

"Why? Because this is the National Martial Arts University!!" The only response to them was the roar from this teacher.

"The National Martial Arts University cultivates warriors who charge for the human race and defend the country, not a group of unruly, self-righteous scum!"

"Give you twenty minutes, go back to the dormitory to pack your things, and get out!"

This group of students was finally afraid. Many people collapsed on the ground and begged constantly, and even cried bitterly.

"Teacher, we were wrong, give us another chance, we guarantee that we will obey orders in the future."

Being expelled from school on the first day of school and returning home in a gray way, I'm afraid they don't even have the face to see their parents.

"Too late!" This teacher was iron-blooded and ruthless.

Soon, more than a dozen members of the school guard team appeared here, directly picking up the students on the ground, and left quickly amidst the wailing and repentance.

At this time, the more than 3,000 freshmen on the playground had been completely shocked by this scene.

They were all silent as cicadas in winter, for fear of making a sound, and would also fall into the fate of being expelled.

"Do you think the school is too cruel?"

I don't know when, a voice sounded from the podium.

When everyone came back to their senses, there were already seven figures on the stage.

These seven people are the deans of the six colleges, and the vice principal of the National Martial Arts University, Huangfu Cheng.

The seven of them are all eighth-tier Grandmasters, and their momentum is as vast as the sea, making people dare not look directly.

Huangfu Cheng, who was the leader, looked at the group of freshmen on the playground and said faintly: "I can tell you clearly that this world is a hundred times crueler than you think!"

"Although there is no conclusive evidence yet, it is certain that the interior of all other-dimensional spaces appearing on Blue Star is connected, which means it is actually an incomparably huge world."

"We enter from different entrances and will appear in different locations."

"The other-dimensional space is too mysterious, and the deeper you go, the more powerful the strange beasts will be, so powerful that even Martial Saint powerhouses have to be cautious and walk on thin ice."

"And, more unfortunately, the number of channels between it and Blue Star is growing rapidly. Perhaps in ten years, the two worlds will merge and be completely connected. By then, Blue Star will be full of strange beasts."

"At that time, no one can stay out of it, and the weak will have no space for survival."

At this time, the group of freshmen on the playground had already started breathing heavily.

The other-dimensional space is mysterious, and everyone knows it, but most people think they are relatively independent worlds.

But now, the higher-ups seem to have a new understanding of that place.

And, if Blue Star is really full of strange beasts in ten years, how much time is left for them to improve their strength?

Chen Fan, who was under the stage, also fell into deep thought. He didn't expect that this world was even more dangerous than he imagined.

But he was not too worried!

Ten years, with the system in hand, he should be able to become a Martial Saint, right?

Huangfu Cheng on the stage didn't say much. He scanned the crowd and looked at the performance of the freshmen.

When everyone was terrified, only Chen Fan's face remained calm.

This made his gaze stay on Chen Fan for two more seconds.

After ten breaths, Huangfu Cheng spoke again: "Fate is always in your own hands!"

"And resources are also left to the top students!"

"So for the next freshman competition, I hope you can take out all your strength."

"The school will select 10 people from among you to form two teams and cultivate them with all their strength."

"These ten people are the strongest freshmen representing our National Martial Arts University's 2024 class! They will also play in the National Freshman League three months later!"

"Now, please let the freshmen whose last digit of the student ID is 0 stay, and others go to the auditorium to watch the battle first!"

The crowd was agitated, and the freshmen whose last digit of the student ID was 1 to 9 showed a little joy and hurriedly moved to the auditorium.

The last digit of Chen Fan's student ID is 7, and Gao Yuan's is 5, so the two also came to the stone steps on the periphery of the playground together.

Soon only one-tenth of the students were left on the playground, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.

Huangfu Cheng shouted again: "The rules of the competition are very simple, divided into ten groups according to the student ID, each group has about three hundred people.

Next, carry out a melee within the group, those who lose combat effectiveness will be eliminated, and those whose bodies leave the white line on the outside of the playground will be eliminated."

"The last three people in each group can advance!"

"Ten knockout matches, a total of 30 qualifiers will be born."

"Of course, I will select the two I think are the strongest from the eliminated people."

"These two can participate in the subsequent championship competition with the previous thirty freshmen."

"The competition is a 1Vs1 duel, deciding the top 16, top 8, top 4, until the final championship battle!"

"Do you understand the rules?" Huangfu Cheng's voice suddenly increased.

"Understood!" The freshmen nodded one after another.

"Very good, then the first knockout match starts now!" ===== CHAPTER 91 =====
