CHAPTER 330: CHAPTER 330: ACTIVITY CENTER 2ND FLOOR

The unexpected rise of the Kendo Club gradually caught the attention of others.

Every year, the interclub competition is the biggest student event for the freshmen and sophomores.

The main force is naturally the sophomores.

As for a club completely composed of freshmen, they’re usually ranked over a hundred, and trying to break into the top fifty is extremely difficult.

Studying at Wuda for one year and two years makes a world of difference.

For the average person, one or two years isn’t a big gap, but the Martial Arts School gathers elites from the entire district and even the whole country.

In high school, many did not receive the appropriate training and resources.

But once they enter the Martial Arts School,

In one or two years, they can experience dramatic transformations.

And in just a few months,

people who started on the same line might create huge gaps.

So generally in interclub competitions,

the real strength comes from the sophomore core members.

Freshmen,

mostly just participate to get experience and broaden their horizons.

They will be the main force next year.

The current situation of the Kendo Club is extremely rare in past competitions.

"Besides Baiyu, in this competition, other freshmen have shown outstanding performance.

They’ve reached the top fifty.

Several clubs composed entirely of freshmen have already broken in.

And these people aim to climb higher.

Seems like,

they’re targeting the top ten."

A long-haired man said with a smile.

"Top ten?

Hahaha, they’re underestimating us seniors. Achieving this ranking is already enough for them.

Some sophomores being dominated by these juniors.

It’s simply embarrassing for us sophomores.

But now,

let us true predecessors teach them a lesson."

Another robust man stood up.

"Ah... Luo Hou, are you going to play?

Why not wait for them to come up to the second layer and spar with them."

Another person said with a smile.

Around this table were essentially the top figures from each club, and only the clubs within the top fifty could move to the second floor of the student activity center.

The competition method within the top fifty is different from before.

Once the points are sufficient to break into the top fifty, the subsequent competitions are purely challenge matches.

Whoever beats another club takes over their ranking.

And the accumulated challenge attempts are the capital to enter the top fifty.

If you can frequently challenge after entering the top fifty, you’ll have more trial-and-error chances.

Of course,

clubs within the top fifty will also face challenges from clubs beyond the top fifty.

...

Baiyu led the Kendo Club through numerous challenges,

and by the end of the morning, their points skyrocketed, ranking at forty-eight in the competition.

The club ranking at forty-nine and fifty.

were actually clubs formed independently by freshmen as well.

And the club presidents were familiar faces.

Li Mingfeng.

Yuwen Yundie.

He had encountered these two during the college entrance exam. Although not particularly close, they were acquaintances who would say hello upon meeting.

"I didn’t expect you to be the president of the Kendo Club."

Yuwen Yundie said, somewhat surprised, as she looked at the core members of the Kendo Club behind Baiyu.

"Yes, the old president didn’t want the role, so she handed it over to me."

Baiyu shrugged.

Yuwen Yundie pouted, "What does that expression of helplessness mean, jerk? Taking over a club without effort is much more convenient than us founding one anew. Our club’s headquarters is still a rented room off-campus."

"Why did you establish a club then, if not just creating tasks for yourself?"

"Many benefits can only be pursued through a club.

For example, this time, the top ten clubs.

Each club has a certain number of slots to enter the ’Endless World,’ which is a reward unattainable individually, but this year we probably don’t have the chance.

Even squeezing into the top fifty.

has drained all our club’s efforts."

Yuwen Yundie said in resignation.

Baiyu turned his head to look at the members behind her.

Like the Kendo Club, they were mostly uneven in strength.

It seemed,

the opponent was also an old leader.

It was likely her strength alone pulled the whole club into the top fifty.

On the other hand, Li Mingfeng’s club had several experts.

They probably relied on teamwork to barely make it to fiftieth.

"Let’s go, the area on the second floor has been allocated for you, it’s different from below; the second floor of the student activity center is always managed by clubs, representing your club’s strength."

In front of the three clubs that just entered the activity center’s second floor, Lorna, from the student council, led the way and explained:

"Even after the competition ends, you still have the right to manage the second-floor space, and use it as a club gathering place.

This is the difference from clubs on the first floor."

Baiyu understood.

This time, the top fifty clubs in the competition still receive rewards, namely the rights to manage their club’s area on the student activity center’s second floor.

The allocated space on the second floor won’t be taken back.

After the competition ends,

these clubs still have the right to manage their own small plot.

...

Soon.

Lorna organized the student council’s registration tasks, and successfully allocated a new competition area for the Kendo Club.

The second floor is different from the first.

This floor is shaped like storefronts instead.

Each club has a storefront, exactly fifty spots.

There’s an area in front marked with white lines.

This is the battlefield.

The environment on the second floor is much better than the first, with many clubs leisurely drinking tea in their storefronts.

Completely lacking the tense atmosphere of the first floor.

"Because for these second-floor clubs, many rankings have already been settled, with the challenge attempts used up.

Everyone knows their own strength.

So challenges are rare.

Once it occurs,

it proves the challenger has a high confidence in victory.

Therefore, there’s no sense of urgency."

Lorna explained.

"I see, which club currently ranks ninth?"

Baiyu asked.

Lorna gave him a surprised look, recalling her understanding of Baiyu and suddenly felt uneasy:

"What are you planning?"

"Just trying to gauge the strength."

Baiyu began to stretch: "I still have three challenge attempts left, if I manage to break into the top ten, wouldn’t that be great?"

Yuwen Yundie and Li Mingfeng were taken aback by this statement.

The Kendo Club still had three challenge attempts.

Doesn’t it mean their challenges haven’t faced defeat?

"Damn, seems like his strength has improved again."

Li Mingfeng thought to himself, beaten twice by Baiyu, he had become a heart demon.

Li Mingfeng’s diligent cultivation is largely motivated and driven by Baiyu.

However,

Now Baiyu plans to challenge the top ten, which in their view, feels overly confident.

It’s important to note,

the top ten clubs all have seniors from the third year.

The power gap between the two is like an unbridgeable chasm.
