Chapter 352: The Preliminaries
Chapter 352: The Preliminaries
"I..." Lu Tianjiao felt like crying, who would've thought that just a bit of boasting would lead to such consequences.
If I had known, why did I do it in the first place? But it's fine, in the next battle, I won't be facing a freshman from Kansai Beast University, and I can fight normally.
Upon hearing this, Li Qian gave a faint smile, "Sometimes, when Pandora's Box is opened, it's not so easy to close it again."
As it turned out, his guess was correct. In the afternoon, during the second match, Lu Tianjiao's opponent was indeed not a freshman from Kansai Beast University, but a freshman from Secrecy Beast University.
However, after the beast battle began, the opponent rushed over without hesitation.
"Damn, we don't need to do this!" Lu Tianjiao saw this and felt like crying.
The opponent before him didn't seem very strong, but if they got into a scuffle, he was sure to get injured.
In the end, he managed to pin his opponent down, but he was puzzled and asked, "Why are you fighting so desperately? Can't we just have a friendly match?"
"No, I watched your battle video from this morning. If I didn't strike first, I'd definitely get beaten up by you." The opponent lying on the ground said, "I had no choice but to go all out."
After hearing this, Lu Tianjiao's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.
He was well aware that at this moment, no matter what he said, the opponent wouldn't believe him, so he chose to remain silent and said nothing.
"Kyoto Beast University's Hai Liang wins!"
"Thunder Beast University's Guo Qiming wins!"
"..."
After Lu Tianjiao's match, many other battles also came to an end one after another.
As expected, none of these battles involved the use of the main bodies.
In their hearts, they didn't want this to happen, but Lu Tianjiao and the Kansai Beast University freshman's battle had opened Pandora's Box.
Even if they didn't want to fight like this, disgracing themselves, they had to be prepared.
Otherwise, if someone suddenly attacked, they would be at a disadvantage. With this in mind, many chose to take the initiative.
At this moment, whether it was the aggressors or the defenders, they all harbored resentment towards Lu Tianjiao and that Kansai Beast University freshman.
If not for them, the atmosphere of the battles wouldn't have turned out like this.
"You're on your own now." Seeing the pairs of resentful eyes in the arena, Li Qian kindly reminded him.
Lu Tianjiao sighed deeply, feeling even more wronged than Dou E, "Is this my fault? That guy made the first move."
"There's nothing I can do. He's already been eliminated. Now, he can only take it out on you." Li Qian spread his hands, indicating he couldn't help.
"Then what should I do? I can't just surrender, right?" Lu Tianjiao's face was filled with grief.
An Paozi added, "You don't have to surrender, but at this rate, you won't last long."
Lu Tianjiao was speechless, "I..."
After Lu Tianjiao's second match, Li Qian also paid attention to Sun Ruirui and Mo Ziyu's battle.
The results were exactly as he had expected. Both Sun Ruirui and Mo Ziyu advanced to the second round with ease.
The only surprise was that besides the Tide Sea Spirit, Li Qian also saw a familiar beast—the Green Scaled Dragon.
Sun Ruirui had actually contracted a Green Scaled Dragon, but thinking about it, it made sense. The Green Scaled Dragon had decent talent and was a water-type, perfectly complementing her Ocean Catastrophe talent.
Regarding the fact that Comrade Sun was able to procure a Green Scaled Dragon for Sun Ruirui, he wasn't the least bit surprised.
"This competition is truly impossible to fight in." The next day, the competition continued, and since the cultivation aspect of the contest hadn't begun yet, Li Qian once again became a bystander. Then he heard Lu Tianjiao's complaints.
Li Qian helplessly glanced over, and this guy had once again transformed into a pig-headed figure.
The second day's competition, from a certain perspective, was basically no different from the first day.
Yes, from Lu Tianjiao's competition content perspective.
As expected, whenever Lu Tianjiao's opponents encountered him, they showed no mercy, even if it was a girl; they would directly engage in physical combat.
Grabbing hair, poking eyes, grabbing crotches, spitting, and using any effective technique without hesitation.
For a moment, the entire Freshman Challenge Competition had its atmosphere distorted.
"That, quite spirited, quite spirited." The principal of Kansai Beast University, Gao Tianle, no longer argued and quickly opened his mouth to laugh it off, attempting to brush it off.
The other schools' team leaders were left speechless.
On the third day, in the morning, after experiencing yet another bruised and swollen face, Lu Tianjiao's ordeal finally came to an end.
"It's finally over." He looked up at the sky, feeling quite emotional.
Li Qian chuckled, "Yes, it's finally over after being eliminated."
Lu Tianjiao ultimately stopped at the fifth round, and his actual performance wasn't bad, but unfortunately, he couldn't bring himself to feel happy about it.
Even when he won, each victory was a narrow one.
It was a "narrow victory" in the literal sense.
The kind of victory that was so narrow it was painful.
An Paozi approached, mysteriously taking out his phone, "Old Lu, I took some photos, all of them capturing the exciting moments of your competition. Do you want to appreciate them together?"
"Come, come, let me see." Lu Tianjiao suspiciously approached to take a look, and the next moment, the photos he saw almost broke his defense.
In An Paozi's phone, all of them showed Lu Tianjiao being beaten up and bruised.
"Damn..." Seeing these photos, Lu Tianjiao turned red with anger and reached out to grab the phone.
An Paozi quickly retracted the phone, causing Lu Tianjiao to miss his grab.
He immediately started cursing, "An Paozi, can you not be so shameless? Why did you take these photos?"
An Paozi chuckled and mercilessly pointed out, "Don't get worked up. Even if I didn't take them, the officials are also filming. Don't believe me? Look at the news; you'll definitely find yourself there."
"I'm done for!" Lu Tianjiao took out his own phone and then cried out to the heavens, "I'm in utter despair..."
Li Qian couldn't help but laugh, "This is the consequence of your big mouth."
Ignoring Lu Tianjiao's "pain," Li Qian laughed mercilessly.
The commotion didn't last long, and soon, he shifted his attention to other matters.
The cultivation competition was about to begin.
Due to the small number of participants in the cultivation competition, there were only two rounds: the preliminary round and the final round.
In the first round, Li Qian competed alongside nine other freshmen.
"These confidentiality measures are indeed quite well done." Li Qian examined the competition room, took a look around, and then nodded in satisfaction.
