Ji Xuan had ignited his Academy Plaque!
In an instant, the entire region was in an uproar. Every team was dumbfounded as they looked at the Academy Plaques in their hands. Their eyes were fixed on the Numero Uno with brilliant expressions on their faces.
According to the rules, as long as more than half of the teams in the Top 16 chose to ignite their Academy Plaques, the elimination round of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament would come to an end. At that time, the Top 8 teams would advance to the finals.
But generally speaking, only those teams that had absolute confidence in their own points would ignite their Academy Plaques. After all, if you ignited your Academy Plaque by yourself without the cooperation of the other teams, then the number of points you ignited would be fixed. This way, it would be easy for the other teams to surpass you, and if you were careless, you might even fall out of the Top 8.
Therefore, without absolute confidence, no team would ignite their Academy Plaques. But right now, Ji Xuan had done it. Did he think that no one could shake his position?
Many teams exchanged looks. Although they had no idea why Ji Xuan's points had suddenly increased by 50,000 points, it shouldn't be enough to give him an absolute guarantee, right?
"What is Ji Xuan doing?" Shen Cangsheng and the rest had also seen this scene and asked with a solemn expression.
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes as he slowly said, "I'm afraid that there will be more."
When Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan heard his words, their eyes narrowed as they fixed their gazes on the Academy Plaques. Just as they had expected, roughly ten minutes later, River Of Blood's team, as well as Liu Qingyun's and Fang Yun's teams, started to turn red as if they were blazing.
This region trembled once again.
"Even River Of Blood, Liu Qingyun, and Fang Yun have ignited their Academy Plaques!"
"This time, they have already ignited four Academy Plaques.
As long as four more Academy Plaques are ignited, the finals will begin! "
"Ji Xuan is really patient. I'm afraid he has been waiting for this moment all along!"
“”
The faces of Shen Cangsheng and the rest completely darkened upon hearing the exclamations that filled the sky. They had managed to snatch the first place with great difficulty. Never did they imagine that it would be snatched away all of a sudden.
Moreover, what made them feel a little sullen was that they didn't know how Ji Xuan had obtained his 50,000 points. Now, a team that could allow Ji Xuan to soar by 50,000 points in one go …
Only the top eight.
But now, it wasn't just the top eight.
Even the scores of the top 16 teams didn't fluctuate much. Clearly, these 50,000 points were not worth much.
It didn't come from them.
The lovable faces of Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan turned slightly cold, while Mu Chen slowly rubbed his Academy Plaque with his fingers. His black pupils sparkled with an unfathomable brilliance, causing people to not know exactly what he was thinking in his heart.
"Another two Academy Plaques are igniting!"
Suddenly, another exclamation rang out as two more Academy Plaques started to ignite among the top 16 teams. The two teams with Academy Plaques were ranked 16th and 14th.
Generally speaking, it was absolutely impossible for these teams to ignite their Academy Plaques so easily, because it would end their chances of advancing to the finals. But right now, this scene had appeared.
This situation.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Ji Xuan must have done something in the dark. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible for so many teams to ignite their Academy Plaques at the same time.
The entire region became a little quiet under the tremors. The teams quietly looked at Mu Chen with some sympathy in their eyes. Because anyone could tell that Mu Chen had been tricked by Ji Xuan at the last moment.
Right now, as long as two more Academy Plaques ignited, the finals would begin.
And if Mu Chen and the rest wanted to obtain another 50,000 points in this uncertain time, they would have to defeat one of the top eight teams. But because of the igniting of their Academy Plaques, Ji Xuan, River Of Blood, Liu Qingyun, and Fang Yun couldn't increase their points, nor could their points be plundered. Therefore, Mu Chen's target was the three teams led by Wen Qingxuan, Wu Ling, and Wen Busheng. But everyone knew that those three teams had a good relationship with Mu Chen, so if Mu Chen targeted them, his reputation would be ruined.
This move of Ji Xuan was extremely vicious.
"That bastard!"
Shen Cangsheng gritted his teeth and his voice was filled with rage. Clearly, he had also sensed Ji Xuan's viciousness. That fellow wanted to force Mu Chen into a corner.
"What should we do now?" Li Xuantong's face was also dark as he looked at Mu Chen and Luo Li.
Luo Li clenched her fists, but she didn't say anything. She only looked at Mu Chen with worry in her eyes.
However, Mu Chen didn't seem to hear their words. His eyes were still fixed on the Academy Plaque.
Wen Qingxuan's slender jade-like fingers pulled back a strand of hair that had fallen to the side of her ear. Quietly shooting a look at Mu Chen, she extended her jade-like hand, with an Academy Plaque sparkling with brilliance within it.
"Take the points of our team. Even if we lose half of our points, we will still be able to maintain our position in the Top 8. Furthermore, these points aren't much. The true Champion will be born in the finals."
Shen Cangsheng and the rest were stunned as they looked at Wen Qingxuan. Clearly, they didn't expect that Wen Qingxuan would actually be willing to share half of the points with them.
"This …" They exchanged looks. This gift was too heavy, how could they dare to accept it?
Luo Li bit her rosy lips as she looked at Mu Chen. The latter clearly raised his head in astonishment as he looked at Wen Qingxuan in astonishment.
"Hey, it's not good to be too indecisive at this time, right?"
Faintly wrinkling her beautiful eyebrows, Wen Qingxuan stared at Mu Chen and said, "Perhaps you might think that these points aren't honorable and just. However, you're able to make me hand them over willingly. Don't tell me that you're not capable?
At least in this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, I'm afraid that there's no one that can achieve this. "
"Therefore, if you use your so-called dignity to refuse at this time, I will think that you're immature. Furthermore, I don't like such a naggy friend."
Hearing her words, Mu Chen couldn't help rubbing his nose as he bitterly smiled. However, there was a trace of being touched in his eyes.
The surrounding people didn't speak as they looked at Mu Chen, waiting for his decision. As long as he nodded his head, he would be able to surpass Ji Xuan and take back the Numero Uno on the points rankings.
Furthermore, he gave Ji Xuan a ruthless slap.
However, under the attention of the crowd, a smile finally surged up on the handsome face of the young man. Soon after, he gently shook his head.
"You!" Wen Qingxuan was so furious that she couldn't help stomping her feet as she glared at Mu Chen.
"I'm sorry. It's not because of my pride that I'm not accepting your points. It's just that I haven't reached that stage yet." Mu Chen said in a soft voice.
Wen Qingxuan crossed her arms before her chest.
Her face turned cold as she turned her head away.
It's already at this time.
What other choice do you have?
Are you going to rob all the powerful teams again?
As long as Mu Chen dared to have such thoughts, those Top 16 teams would immediately burn their Academy Plaques.
Seeing her expression, Mu Chen could only helplessly smile. "I think I know how Ji Xuan got his points."
Luo Li and the rest immediately looked over.
It was so much so that even Wen Qingxuan's gaze was directed over.
"That's because they've used enticement and threats to raise a batch of 'branch warehouses'." Mu Chen faintly said, "This batch of branch warehouses can provide a large amount of points to Ji Xuan at the last moment. However, Ji Xuan has been hiding it deeply and has never exposed them."
The so-called 'branch warehouses' were akin to raising pigs and sheep. Once they were fat, they would be slaughtered and their meat would be harvested. However, it wasn't their meat that was harvested, but their points.
"Branch warehouses?" The faces of Luo Li and the rest slightly changed.
They never imagined that Ji Xuan would use such a shady method. Generally speaking, it wasn't easy to raise a branch warehouse in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. That's because it wouldn't be effective if it was a small batch.
But if it was a large batch, it would easily cause a backlash. If over a hundred teams were to frantically resist, no one would be able to handle it. If it resulted in a large number of casualties, they might even be disqualified from the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.
"How did you know that?"
Wen Qingxuan asked in doubt. If Ji Xuan had really used such a method, he should have hidden it deeply and wouldn't be exposed.
"That's because I understand Ji Xuan too well. He's someone who would always leave something behind. Therefore, I've also sent someone to investigate in secret. Fortunately, I've managed to obtain some results." Mu Chen said with a faint smile.
"But even if you know that he's using such a method, right now …" Shen Cangsheng said helplessly. With the current situation as it was, it would be extremely difficult to reverse it.
Luo Li's glass-like eyes quietly stared at Mu Chen as he said in a soft voice, "You've also made preparations, right?"
Wen Qingxuan's beautiful eyes were also looking at Mu Chen, her rosy lips slightly opened with a trace of shock in her eyes. Could it be that this fellow had already predicted this situation?
"You can say that."
With a smile, Mu Chen's smile contained a trace of heart-palpitating self-confidence. In the next instant, with a flick of his finger, a ray of Spiritual Energy soared into the sky, transforming into a gigantic ray of Spiritual Energy as it blossomed.
In this region, everyone looked at him in astonishment.
The atmosphere was still quiet. However, this silence lasted for roughly ten minutes, before it was suddenly broken. Everyone raised their heads, only to see a large number of glowing figures shooting over from the horizon.
Swish!
Swish!
The large number of glowing figures finally stopped in the sky. There were roughly a hundred groups that had gathered together.
Seeing these groups that had appeared, some of the sharper people seemed to have sensed something, causing shock to erupt from their hearts as they looked towards Mu Chen in shock.
Within the numerous groups, a figure slowly walked out. His face was somewhat familiar, it was the Captain of the Desolation Spiritual Academy group that Mu Chen had saved, Lin Zhou.
"Haha. Brother Mu, all of our groups here have been saved by you. Today, we'll let you do as you please."
Cupping his hands towards Mu Chen, Lin Zhou's hearty laughter resounded across the sky, attracting countless astonished gazes.
Who could have expected that while Ji Xuan was holding back, Mu Chen had also prepared a hand to turn the tables!
