Chapter 221 - 221 The End of the Preliminary Round

221 The End of the Preliminary Round

Liu Yi was very pleased. After many teams passed the teleportation array, Zhejiang Hunter University gained a lot of face.

At the same time, many teams were walking out of the jungle of mysteries. Even some teams that were not from the nine hunter universities had cleared the jungle of mysteries.

Liu Yi looked at the increasing number of teams walking out from the crowd and frowned. “Why hasn’t that brat come out yet?”

Zhou Qingfeng bent down beside Liu Yi and said, “Mr. Liu, are you waiting for junior Lu Benwei?”

Liu Yi came back to his senses and hurriedly denied it. He then continued, “Qingfeng, it’s been three days. You must be tired. Go and have a good rest.”

Seeing that, Zhou Qingfeng did not ask any further. He nodded and returned to the hotel to rest.

…

At the end of the third day, only two teams from the nine hunter universities failed to clear the jungle of mysteries.

Out of the nine teachers from the hunter universities, only Liu Yi and the teachers from Yanjing Hunter University were left.

The two teachers sat in the lounge, one calm and composed, the other pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.

Liu Yi drank his hot tea, not panicking at all. He knew that with Lu Benwei’s strength, he would be able to clear the jungle of mysteries. As for why they had not come out yet, Liu Yi firmly believed that Lu Benwei must have a plan.

He was calm because there was a team from Yanjing Hunter University that failed.

At this time, the leading teacher at Yanjing Hunter University suddenly asked, “I say, teacher, aren’t you worried? Quite a few teams that aren’t from the nine hunter universities have come out.”

Liu Yi glanced at him indifferently and asked, “With Lu Ziling’s strength, it’ll only take a few minutes for her to walk out of the jungle of mysteries.”

The teacher in charge’s eyes instantly widened as he asked in surprise, “How do you know that the last team we have is Lu Ziling?”

Liu Yi laughed lightly, shook his head, and immersed himself in drinking tea.

The leading teacher at Yanjing Hunter University wanted to ask more, but after thinking for a while, he gave up.

After a short while, the teleportation array flickered, and Lu Ziling led her team out of the secret realm. The leading teacher at Yanjing Hunter University immediately smiled and went up to them.

“Ziling, what are you doing? With your strength, even if you don’t come in first, you can come in second. Why did you come out so late?”

“Something came up in the secret realm, so I was delayed,” Lu Ziling replied indifferently.

When the leading teacher heard this, he did not blame her. “It’s good that you’re out. Just be more careful in the next round.”

“Long time no see, Miss Lu.” Liu Yi walked over.

“Long time no see, Mr. Liu,” Lu Ziling replied politely.

The teacher-in-charge was a little dumb. Lu Ziling knew the teacher-in-charge at Zhejiang Hunter University.

“Lu Benwei asked me to bring you a message. He said you don’t have to worry about him,” Lu Ziling said.

Liu Yi nodded his head repeatedly. “Alright, alright. It’s good that the brat is fine. That’s right, where’s this brat now?” Liu Yi asked.

“When I found him, he was still in the middle section,” Lu Ziling replied expressionlessly, “He should’ve just stepped into the core section.”

“Huh? “Liu Yi was stunned. “You just entered the core region?”

Lu Ziling nodded and left with the people from her school.

Another day passed, and the team from the second-rate hunter university also cleared the secret realm.

Even more than half of the audience had left. The tournament without the nine hunter universities was just nice to watch.

Lu Benwei had not come out yet, so Liu Yi panicked.

“What’s this brat up to? Don’t tell me he’s leveling up in the secret realm?”

Another day passed, and there was still an hour left before the final time limit for clearing the jungle of mysteries.

Many teams from third-rate hunter universities had also cleared the jungle of mysteries. When they came out, they all had an expression as if it had been a lifetime.

Liu Yi was in despair. “Why isn’t this brat coming out yet?” he asked.

It was not until the final ten minutes that Lu Benwei finally came out of the jungle of mysteries. When Liu Yi saw this, he walked over while cursing.

“You little brat, are you trying to scare this old man to death?”

Suddenly, Liu Yi was stunned. He realized that the auras of the few of them were very different. Especially Zhao Xiaoqi and Lin Feng, the aura they emitted was definitely that of a level 40! Lu Benwei, Chu Yan, and Hai Yue had also reached level 45!

Liu Yi laughed and scolded. “You little rascal, are you really going to level up in the tournament?”

“I’m just trying to improve our strength so that we can go further.” Lu Benwei scratched his head.

“Alright, alright.” Liu Yi waved his hand. “It’s a good thing that you guys are out. However, the semi-finals will be held tomorrow. I don’t think there’s enough time for you two to go through the second class change.”

After ten minutes, the whistle blew to signal the end of the match. The second round of the semi-finals would be held the next day.

At the same time, in the office of the National Class Tournament organizing committee.

The members of the committee gathered to review the list of teams that had passed the first round of the jungle of mysteries.

“Strange, why are there so many teams that passed the preliminary round?”

“In the past, it would be considered good if a few teams from third-rate hunter universities passed the level. Now, nearly one-third of them have passed.”

“Yeah, there are so many third-rate hunter universities. One-third of the teams have passed. It’s going to be difficult to get through the second round.”

“What’s going on?”

At this moment, a hurried knock on the door was heard. The chairman of the organizing committee let subordinate in.

“Reporting to the venue, leaders, we have found the reason for the surge in the number of people who cleared the stage this year.”

Everyone was shocked and immediately asked the subordinate to continue.

The subordinate who had come to report stammered, “You should come to the central control room to take a look.”

Many people furrowed their brows and followed him out of curiosity. However, the next scene made everyone’s jaws drop to the ground.

On the monitor in the central control room, Lu Benwei was leading a team to kill.

Under Lu Benwei’s powerful skill enhancement, almost everyone could kill a small monster with one move. Even the powerful monsters in the core area could not last more than a second under their joint attack.

The five of them went from the outskirts of the jungle of mysteries all the way to the core area. They raised their hands and dropped their blades, plucking the feathers of geese that flew by. They had been slashing for five days and five nights.

Even the monsters that the other teams encountered were all cleared by Lu Benwei and the others.

The teams from the third-rate hunter universities that could not pass the game successfully cleared it with the help of Lu Benwei.

The corners of the National Class Tournament organizing committee’s mouths twitched, and their hearts were greatly shocked.
