The Old Principal knew very well that if it weren't for Su Bai, a fighter capable of battling Silver Tier opponents, and the mysterious presence of Gu Yueqingshu, Jiangzhou Martial Academy's participation in the battle zone league would be nothing more than a sightseeing tour, just going through the motions.

As for Fuchuan Martial Academy, who came with Jiangzhou Martial Academy to participate in the league, they were really just there to make up the numbers this time, focusing on participation.

Looking around, there wasn't a single team weaker than Fuchuan Martial Academy!

When Su Bai reached his hand into the draw box, he kept silently praying for a strong opponent.

Meanwhile, the Old Principal held his breath, watching Su Bai's hand, silently wishing for a weaker opponent, ideally a bye!

The captains of the other academies were also silently hoping for their desired opponents.

When the draw results were announced, the host declared:

"Now, I will announce the matchups. First match: Luohe Martial Academy versus Fuchuan Martial Academy!"

Hearing this, the Old Principal looked gleefully at the principal of Fuchuan Martial Academy not far away, as if to say: "Brother, you're really unlucky!"

"Second match:..."

"Second match:..."

"Fourth match:..."

"Jiangzhou Martial Academy has a bye this round!"

When Su Bai heard he drew a bye, he was dumbfounded!

He wished he could slap himself on the spot!

What kind of luck was this?

A one-in-nine chance, and he still managed to draw it?

Why don't I go buy a lottery ticket?

Damn, what a loss!

This is the battle zone league!

Rounding up, that's a loss of millions!

What did I do to deserve drawing a bye?!

But the draw results couldn't be changed, so Su Bai could only walk back to his seat with a face full of regret and frustration.

He sat down dejectedly, not saying a word.

"Hahaha, Su Bai, well done!"

Just as Su Bai was fuming over losing millions, the Old Principal came over, laughing, and patted Su Bai's shoulder hard, saying:

"I told you, you're a lucky charm, hahaha!"

"This luck is really something, choosing you as captain was a wise decision!!"

For a strong academy, Su Bai drawing a bye meant missing out on resources, but for a weaker academy, it was an opportunity to improve their ranking without any risk.

As long as the ranking improved, the school would be allocated more resources in the future, which would be great for the school's development and overall strength!

As the saying goes, some rejoice while others grieve!

Some are happy, while others are sad!

Su Bai, feeling down, looked at the Old Principal who was laughing heartily, not even in the mood to speak.

If he were really a lucky charm, how could he have drawn a bye?

Numb...

Loveless...

The world is so unfriendly... full of malice!

The more Su Bai thought about it, the more depressed he became, so he started watching the ongoing matches.

In Luohe Martial Academy, among the five main team members, one was Silver Initial Tier, three were Bronze High Tier, and one was Bronze Mid Tier.

If it weren't for the rule that only one third-year student could participate, Su Bai would have suspected that Luohe Martial Academy could field more Silver Tier fighters.

On the stage, Luohe Martial Academy only sent out a Bronze High Tier team member, who achieved a five-win streak, not even giving Mao Kai a chance to use his abilities, as he was quickly knocked out.

Seeing their team defeated, the principal of Fuchuan Martial Academy looked very grim, and when he looked at Jiangzhou Martial Academy's team, who had a bye, he couldn't help but feel envious.

A sour feeling spread in the heart of Fuchuan Martial Academy's principal.

"If this time Jiangzhou Martial Academy faced Luohe Martial Academy, and we had the bye, after the rankings are updated, we would be above Jiangzhou Martial Academy!"

"Sigh, Jiangzhou Martial Academy is really lucky!"

...

After the four matches in the morning were over, Su Bai eagerly awaited the start of the afternoon matches.

With great anticipation, he reached his hand into the draw box again, fervently hoping: Even if it's Luohe Martial Academy, the stronger the opponent, the more resources we get.

Please, no more byes!

The Old Principal was also watching Su Bai with great anticipation, silently hoping: Su Bai, you must do well!

Damn it, if you draw another bye for me!

After the draw was completed, when the host received the match order list, she looked puzzledly in the direction of Jiangzhou Martial Academy, but still announced the match order for the first eight academies, then hesitated before saying:

"Ahem..."

"This round, Jiangzhou Martial Academy has a bye again."

Su Bai: ???

Luohe Martial Academy: ???

Fuchuan Martial Academy: ???

The entire audience: ???

The nationwide audience watching the live broadcast: ???

Damn!

Is this even possible?

Did Su Bai save all of humanity in his past life?

What kind of luck is this? Jiangzhou Martial Academy did nothing but sit in the audience watching a few days of matches, and suddenly they inexplicably rose to become one of the top twenty academies in the nation?

Is this reasonable?

Two consecutive byes, it's simply unbelievable!

Instantly, the audience began whispering among themselves, even a few military judges were baffled.

They were all Gold Tier, and Jiangzhou Martial Academy's captain Su Bai was only Bronze Mid Tier, how could he pull any tricks under their watchful eyes?

But the results were right in front of them, and everyone was incredulous, with many in the audience voicing objections.

"Is there something shady with Jiangzhou Martial Academy? How could they have two byes in a row?"

"What's going on? I came all this way just to see Su Bai sitting on the bench eating peanuts and drinking cola. One bye is fine, but why two byes!"

"Right! This competition system is too unfair! Su Bai is such a strong competitor, and you keep giving him byes? This is disrespectful to the opponents!"

"Is Luohe Martial Academy afraid of facing Su Bai directly, so they deliberately let Jiangzhou Martial Academy have a bye?"

Hearing this, the students of Luohe Martial Academy were furious!

We're afraid of him?

What a joke!

Let him come up if he can!

The entire venue was thrown into chaos because of Su Bai's two byes.

Even the competition had to be paused, and one of the military judges stood up and said:

"Dear audience, I know you're puzzled by Jiangzhou Martial Academy's two byes. The competition is paused for ten minutes, and we will investigate the reason and give you an explanation."

"If there is indeed foul play, Jiangzhou Martial Academy will be disqualified, but if it's truly just luck with two byes, then we have nothing to say."

The military was the organizer of this hundred-school league, and people trusted their words, eagerly awaiting the results.

Seeing the situation getting so serious, the Old Principal quietly pulled Su Bai aside, cautiously looking around to ensure no one was nearby, and then asked in a low voice:

"Su Bai, did you really not do anything to get these two byes?"
