Chapter 272: Chapter 272 - 272 The End of the Semi-final

272 The End of the Semi-final

Time flew by, and half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

There was still a quarter of an hour before the end of the National Class Tournament. The main venue of the tournament had already set up a magic circle, waiting for the teleportation door to open.

Liu Yi could not wait any longer. “I really wonder how the results of those stinky brats are.”

Liu Yi stood with his hands behind his back, his expression very anxious.

At this moment, someone gently patted his back.

“Relax, don’t we have double insurance for this tournament?”

“Mr. Principal?! What are you doing here?” Liu Yi was surprised to see him.

“I just arrived,” Chen Yuan found a chair and sat down, casually saying, “It’s not just me, my old friends are all here.”

As soon as he finished speaking, exclamations came from the lounge of the various universities. The principals of the nine hunter universities were all present.

However, it was also at this time that the black-robed middle-aged man, the organizer of the competition, went up to the stage and shouted in a deep voice, “All school representatives, please be quiet. The tournament is about to end. The secret realm will push all the participants out. Please don’t go up the stage at will to avoid causing any harm to the participants. In addition, swords have no eyes during the tournament. It’s very normal to die or be injured. If you encounter them, please don’t get too excited.”

Chen Yuan took a sip of hot tea as he listened to the black-robed middle-aged man. “Wan Yun, this kid, after being an official for so long, he didn’t learn anything else but to put on airs.”

“Do you know the host of this tournament?” Liu Yi was slightly surprised.

Chen Yuan nodded. “Of course, I do. Many of them used to follow me around and call me Brother Yuan. But he’s the host of this professional tournament. Isn’t he trying to pull some strings for our school?”

Liu Yi’s lips twitched when he heard this.

However, at this moment, Wan Yun suddenly said, “Time’s up. The match is over.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the array in the arena lit up and started to rotate slowly. All participants in the Chaotic Battlefield felt a mighty force descend from the sky as if an invisible hand was pulling them.

Then, after passing through a rainbow-colored passage, everyone’s eyes lit up.

“Dear contestants, congratulations on making it through the semi-final,” Wan Yun said from the high platform.

“Now, please return to your school’s area. I’ll announce the top 16 teams in a moment. At the same time, we’ll draw lots to determine the eight groups that will fight for the next stage.”

Everyone was in a daze and only reacted after a long time to the fact that the semi-final was over.

“Children, come over quickly.”

“Participants from Yanjing Hunter University, gather!”

The principals and teachers at the various universities waved their hands and called out to their students.

“Qingfeng, let’s go. After staying in the Chaotic Battlefield for such a long time, I’ve lost my interest,” Wang Yan called out to the rest of the team from Zhejiang Hunter University as they headed to their respective resting areas.

Zhou Qingfeng’s eyes seemed to be looking for something. After a while, he followed him.

At this time, on the other side, Lu Benwei said goodbye to Lu Ziling and returned to the rest area with Chu Yan and the other three.

“Hello, children.”

Chen Yuan was very happy to see that all the participants had arrived.

“After this competition is over, I’ll give all of you extra credits.”

“Long live Mr. Principal!”

For a moment, everyone was overjoyed and cheered.

“Mr. Principal, don’t you want to know our results?”

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows and waved his hand. “Do you even need to guess? Of course, Zhou Qingfeng and Lu Benwei are in the top 16! After so many years, our school finally has two teams that have entered the top 16. I’m very pleased.”

Everyone looked at Lu Benwei and Zhou Qingfeng.

“Children, what’s your ranking?” Liu Yi asked.

“Third!”

“Sixth!”

Chen Yuan and Liu Yi’s eyes lit up when they heard this.

“Not bad, not bad at all!” Chen Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

After a short while, the list of the top 16 was announced. Immediately, the entire school’s circle was shaken.

Chen Yuan was right. Lu Benwei made it to the top 16 and even got the sixth place!

“Children, come and tell me about Lu Benwei’s performance in the secret realm.”

Some people told their principal that Lu Benwei had obtained nearly 10,000 stigmata in the secret realm.

All the principals gasped at once.

“Did you get the tens of thousands of stigmas from the ancient Bronze Hall?”

“Aren’t there three powerful monsters guarding the ancient palace? How did that brat get it?”

“This kid, we have to pay close attention to him in the final stage.”

Other than that, the list of the top 16 was also made public, causing a huge uproar.

“What? Two teams from Zhejiang Hunter University made it to the top 16?”

“Oh my god, I thought that Zhejiang Hunter University would be removed from the list of the nine hunter universities after today. I didn’t expect that they would be able to get back at us after such a huge loss.”

“The key is that one of the two teams that made it to the top 16 is a freshman from Zhejiang Hunter University. In other words, we’ll still be able to see him in the next National Class Tournament.”

However, people were more interested in Yanjing Hunter University and Huaqing Hunter University than the two teams from Zhejiang Hunter University that made it to the top 16.

“So what if two teams have made it to the top 16? Yanjing Hunter University has two teams in first and second place.”

“What’s going on with Huaqing Hunter University this year? They’re only ranked fifth. They’re not even as high as Wang Zining from Hudan Hunter University and Zhou Qingfeng from Zhejiang Hunter University.”

“I’m afraid we won’t be able to see Huaqing Hunter University and Yanjing Hunter University fight in the tournament this year.”

Meanwhile, the lounge of Huaqing Hunter University was dead silent.

“What the hell are you doing? You’re being beaten by Yanjing Hunter University. The highest ranking you got is only fifth.”

On the other side, another university was also dead silent.

“Internal strife? How dare you guys fight against each other in such an important competition?”

The principal of Chang’an Hunter University’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

“If you have the ability to make a name for yourself after the infighting, that’s fine too. But only one of you made it to the top 16! All the equipment I’ve painstakingly created for you have been fed to the dogs!

“Yang Ke and Fan Peng, both of you are responsible for the loss of Chang’an Hunter University. After the National Class Tournament, you’re not allowed to leave the school!”
