No wonder the Old Principal chose Bai Ningbing and Wang Qingqing as the main team members, even though other second-year students at Jiangzhou Martial Academy had reached Bronze Mid Tier.

The Old Principal was well aware of the students' backgrounds.

Honestly, when Bai Ningbing and Wang Qingqing transferred from the Imperial Capital to Jiangzhou, the Old Principal was delighted for quite some time!

Normally, children from families of their level would attend prestigious schools.

When Wang Qingqing was defeated by the fourth opponent, Gu Yueqingshu took the stage.

Before the match even began, Gu Yueqingshu glanced at the two people below the stage and smiled, saying:

"No need to make it so complicated. I've been watching the remaining two opponents, and I request that both opponents from Lanze Martial Academy come on stage together."

"Let's save some time for everyone!"

Hearing this, Su Bai jumped up from his seat, glaring angrily at Gu Yueqingshu.

This guy, not even leaving me a bit of the action?

Yueqingshu, you're going too far!

I used to have a good impression of you!

The military judge squinted at Gu Yueqingshu and said:

"The rules do allow one person to challenge multiple opponents at once."

"But you're only at Bronze Mid Tier, and there's a Bronze High Tier and another Mid Tier on the other side. Are you sure you want to challenge them like this?"

This was the first time in the southern battle zone league that someone wanted to fight multiple opponents simultaneously!

Gu Yueqingshu nodded and said, "I'm sure!"

The military judge stopped wasting words and allowed Lanze Martial Academy to send out their last contestant.

Gu Yueqingshu was to face two opponents alone!

Such a scene naturally drew everyone's attention and discussion.

The audience erupted in a wave of cheers!

The remaining two members from Lanze Martial Academy took the stage with angry faces.

Too arrogant!

The match officially began.

Gu Yueqingshu didn't waste any time.

He activated his wood attribute ability!

His green robe fluttered as a gentle breeze spread!

A thousand-year-old maple tree appeared out of thin air, with countless maple leaves swirling like blades, quickly surrounding the two opponents and spinning rapidly, initiating a storm of blade-like maple leaves.

As time passed, more and more maple leaves gathered, and the two Lanze Martial Academy members trapped inside made less and less noise after their initial resistance.

As more maple leaves joined in, the storm of leaf blades gradually formed into two tornadoes, standing tall on the stage.

Throughout, Gu Yueqingshu stood still in his green robe, hair tied back, with one hand behind his back and the other holding a folding fan.

How carefree, how graceful!

Two judges in the judges' seats squinted at Gu Yueqingshu.

"If Bai Ningbing and Wang Qingqing were talented, strong, and hardworking students, then Gu Yueqingshu is simply a prodigy!"

"I've seen wood attribute ability users, but even a typical Silver Tier beginner would struggle to conjure a thousand-year-old maple tree like Gu Yueqingshu."

"How terrifying must his mental power be?"

"This year's Jiangzhou Martial Academy is full of hidden talents, with dark horses emerging one after another!"

"It's hard to imagine why such a prodigy would choose Jiangzhou Martial Academy when his talent could easily get him into top schools in the Imperial or Magic Capital!"

In the Jiangzhou Martial Academy's reserve seats, the reserve team members were stunned. It was the first time they had seen Gu Yueqingshu in action.

"Damn, is Senior Yueqingshu really that strong? Facing two opponents and still so calm and composed!"

"I wonder who is the strongest at Jiangzhou Martial Academy, Su Bai or our Senior Yueqingshu."

"I think Su Bai is stronger, after all, his beast has slain a Silver Tier!"

"But if it were Senior Yueqingshu, he might be able to slay a Silver Tier too!"

"Wow, I never knew our Jiangzhou Martial Academy was this amazing!"

Even Bai Ningbing and Wang Qingqing, who were quite familiar with Gu Yueqingshu, were surprised.

Bai Ningbing frowned and said, "Yueqingshu's strength has grown again, truly worthy of being from that family."

On the stage, the momentum inside the maple leaf tornadoes grew, with no sound coming from within.

Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, the principal of Lanze Martial Academy conceded on behalf of his students.

When the referee went on stage, they found that Gu Yueqingshu had merely controlled the maple leaves to surround without attacking, leaving the two students with only minor injuries and no life-threatening harm.

However, their appearance was quite poor at the moment.

Their clothes were tattered, with thin lines of blood oozing from countless wounds.

The weapons forged from fine iron in their hands had long been shredded by the maple leaves!

The principal of Lanze Martial Academy glanced at the fragments on the ground, then looked deeply at Gu Yueqingshu, leaving a word of thanks for his restraint before leading the injured students to the infirmary.

If Gu Yueqingshu had intended to kill, those two would have been reduced to nothing!

As Gu Yueqingshu walked towards the audience, all eyes were on him, yet he remained smiling, neither arrogant nor impatient!

When Gu Yueqingshu returned to the reserve seats, the principal excitedly addressed everyone:

"Students, our Jiangzhou Martial Academy has entered the national finals!"

Because the top ten schools have privileges, Jiangzhou Martial Academy didn't need to compete against Luohe Martial Academy in the end.

Both universities entered the finals!

At this moment, the Old Principal couldn't be happier. What does entering the national finals mean? It means Jiangzhou Martial Academy will receive the treatment of a prestigious school in the future!

The resources and support from the military will be vastly different from before!

The difference is almost tenfold or more!

Damn, Jiangzhou Martial Academy is set to rise again after the fall of Luo Fan's great power!

Having been the principal of Jiangzhou Martial Academy for a lifetime, he never dared to imagine the school he led would one day enter the national finals!

When the Old Principal's excited gaze swept over the faces of the ten students, it finally rested on Su Bai.

"Su Bai, you've made a great contribution to Jiangzhou Martial Academy this time!!"

"Rest assured, the academy will not forget your contribution. Even though you didn't compete in the last match, you'll receive every bit of the academy's reward you deserve!"

Originally a bit frustrated for not having the chance to compete, Su Bai felt much better after hearing the Old Principal's words: "Old Principal, bringing glory to the academy is the duty of every Jiangzhou Martial Academy student!"

"I, Su Bai, will not shirk from this responsibility, and in the future, I will surely..."

"Ahem... alright, don't get too carried away just because of a few compliments..."

Su Bai, who was about to express his determination, was abruptly interrupted by the Old Principal!

Bai Ningbing, who always found Su Bai annoying, chuckled:

"Old Principal, you mean Su Bai's contribution was drawing two byes in a row, right?"

The Old Principal calmly glanced at Bai Ningbing and said, "What else? If you could draw two byes and lead Jiangzhou Martial Academy to the national finals, I'd reward you too."

"This..."

Bai Ningbing was at a loss for words. Drawing byes is all about luck, not something that can be done at will. Su Bai managed to draw two because he was lucky; if it were Bai Ningbing, even drawing one would be uncertain.

The Old Principal, not wanting to waste words with Bai Ningbing, continued:

"This battle zone league has been full of surprises, but the competition in the top ten finals will be far more intense. That's where the nation's top talents gather!"

"You've all seen the matches over the past two days. Luohe Martial Academy is only ranked tenth, yet their combat power was almost overwhelming."

"In the upcoming national finals, among the opponents we'll face, Luohe Martial Academy might still be the weakest!"

"But don't lose heart. Since we've made it to the finals, Jiangzhou Martial Academy won't give up halfway. If we can improve our ranking, we will. Even if we can't, we must show our spirit."

"For the main team members participating, the academy will provide five million in cultivation resources for each of you."

"Su Bai, due to his significant contribution and being a key player in the finals, will have his resources for advancing to Bronze High Tier fully covered by the academy!"

"Su Bai, Gu Yueqingshu, Bai Ningbing, and Wang Qingqing, aim to break through to Bronze High Tier within a week."

"In a week, we'll meet those so-called prestigious schools!"

"Do you have any questions?"

Apart from Su Bai, the other four main team members cheered.
