CHAPTER 319: CHAPTER 319: KARATE CLUB

The club competition is considered one of the rare major events at Celestial South Martial Arts University.

Basically.

Students at Wuda, except for the senior year who are disengaged from worldly affairs.

Students from other years are more or less involved with the club competition.

The ranking of this competition is related to the interests of the clubs.

Such as activity spaces, club funds, task distribution, etc.

As for the competition.

It’s divided into literary and martial contests.

There’s no need to say much about the martial contest.

The clubs pick a few experts to compete; the winner and loser are clear at a glance.

But as for the literary contest, there are plenty of nuances here.

Mainly because most clubs have different domains.

For example, Poetry Society, Literary Society, many of these people are inherently not skilled in combat.

So the literary contest came into being.

But the literary contest also pays attention to rules and has cumbersome procedures.

Fortunately.

Although the Kendo Club has always performed poorly, it is still classified under the martial contest category, avoiding many intricate steps.

Of course, the club’s performance has consistently been at the bottom.

The competition takes place at the Student Activity Center, a building resembling a hamburger in height, with a circular hollow interior structure and a large area.

The hall on the first floor is the competition venue.

The second and third floors above are not competition venues but resting areas for students.

The competition is hosted by the student council.

At the entrance of the Student Activity Center, two students wearing armbands with the student council emblem greet the teams from various clubs.

Baiyu quickly spotted Lorna in the crowd.

She is an elite cadre of the student council, a Tier Seven Martial Artist, seemingly serving as a scorekeeper for this club competition.

"Where have you been?"

Lorna looked at Baiyu, who suddenly popped out of the crowd, and exclaimed in surprise, "I even went to the student dormitory to find you. As the president of the Kendo Club, you’re absent during the competition, and there’s no one in the club who can take charge."

"I had some minor things to deal with and went out for a few days," Baiyu explained.

Lorna knew that he often disappeared, even famous in the Research Academy for skipping classes and being a troublemaker.

So she didn’t press further and made a circle in the scorebook, "This is your Kendo Club’s score, already at the bottom.

Unless you win all the upcoming matches.

Otherwise, the Student Council will revoke all the Kendo Club’s subsidies."

Baiyu took the booklet and looked.

The Kendo Club was ranked 199th, with a frightening score of zero points.

There have been five challenges in the past few days, all handled by Jiang Xi.

Won two, lost three.

The club matches consist mostly of sophomore students, making it hard for her to support it all alone, no matter how formidable she is.

"The Student Council hasn’t given us any subsidies."

At this moment.

Baiyu suddenly spotted a blind spot.

Lorna was at a loss for words, remained silent for a while, and then said, "Isn’t your activity space allocated by the Student Council?"

"I grabbed that back from the Boxing Club, and they even hold a grudge, waiting for a chance for revenge."

"No subsidies, probably because the club’s ranking is too low. Clubs in the top fifty get fixed GPA subsidies every month. The top ten clubs are core student organizations in the school and receive special care.

I’m not responsible for club work in the student council, so I’m not clear about this area. But trying to improve the club’s ranking is absolutely beneficial."

Lorna explained.

The first floor of the Student Activity Center is vast with over a hundred clubs having their own spaces, adopting a challenge system.

One club can challenge another club.

Each victory or defeat will adjust each other’s points.

Of course.

Malicious challenges against clubs vastly inferior to one’s own are not allowed.

Anyway, the Kendo Club now has zero points, so no club comes to challenge.

It’s the legend of — as long as I am useless enough, no one can exploit me.

Baiyu passed through a hall wider than a sports arena and arrived at the front of the Kendo Club’s venue.

This is a small resting area.

About a dozen people.

Baiyu saw familiar faces everywhere.

In front of the resting area is a large area covered with a wool carpet, obviously reserved for student dueling.

"Long time no see," Baiyu greeted.

"Ah, you’re finally back."

Looking at Jiang Xi sitting in a chair, with her left hand bandaged and her right hand holding a roast duck, tearing off the meat and putting it into her mouth.

The aroma spread throughout the area.

He rarely saw Jiang Xi injured.

This kind of bandaged scene was even more rare.

It seems the intensity of the club competition far exceeded Baiyu’s expectations.

"President."

"Hello, President!"

Once he came over.

A few new members greeted Baiyu.

Baiyu nodded, seeing the faces of these members, all downcast, lacking any Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

It seems this competition has stunned them.

Once the morale scatters, the team is hard to lead.

"Meng Siyu, bring the list of challenges from the past two days."

Baiyu sat on the stool, glancing at the bustling competition.

The club competition isn’t conducted one match at a time.

But rather, it’s a free challenge format.

Each match has dedicated record-keepers from the student council. The ranking is based on points at the end of the week-long competition, and final rankings are compiled.

The competition has run for three days.

Four days remain.

However, most battles will occur in the first three days and the last day; day one is for probing, while day two and three see real action.

Later, most clubs will focus on preserving their points.

On the last day, some clubs will reveal their trump cards, leading to another intense wave of battles.

This is the basic process of the competition.

Of course.

The Kendo Club currently has no trump card; the past two days of battles have shown all the clubs that only Jiang Xi has the combat prowess.

It’s just a soft target.

After more than ten seconds.

Meng Siyu brought over the match schedule.

"Karate Club?"

"Jujutsu Club?"

Baiyu saw these absurd names and couldn’t have imagined that such bizarre clubs would exist in the Martial Artist’s world.

Karate?

Jujutsu?

What are these things?

He looked around.

The Karate Club was only a few dozen meters away from the Kendo Club.

"That’s it."

Baiyu chose this club and walked straight over.

The Kendo Club members waited until he had walked for more than ten seconds before reacting and quickly followed.

The rule is to notify the student council and then inform the other party for challenges.

By walking over like this.

It implied a blatant provocation.

But none of the Kendo Club members explained the rules to him, and since it was their president’s first battle after his arrival, they couldn’t very well drag him back now.

So.

A group of Kendo Club students, along with people from other surrounding clubs, saw Baiyu walking over and all paid attention to this scene.

In front of the Karate Club.

A few burly men sat together, bored.

Since they absorbed points from the Kendo Club and a few other small clubs, their ranking in this competition was secure.

So they were in a good mood.

Bam...

At this moment, a bench in front of them was heavily stomped on by someone.
