After a brief reunion with Wang Bo, Qinchuan once again threw himself into intense training. The competition was not over yet, so he could not relax.
As for Wang Bo, he returned to his hotel. When Qinchuan went on stage again, he would naturally go to the scene to cheer for Qinchuan.
While Qinchuan was training, the others were watching the third match through the live broadcast. The Federal Military University versus the Cosmic Star Academy.
In this match, the performance of the Cosmic Star Academy's contestants was somewhat unsatisfactory. As expected, they were unable to defeat the powerful Federal Military University and ended in a crushing defeat.
Moreover, judging from the Cosmic Star Academy's current declining momentum and average performance, it would be difficult for them to successfully break through in the revival match. In other words, the Cosmic Star Academy had a high probability of not getting any points in the new student competition. This was not good news for the Cosmic Star Academy.
After the defeat, the Cosmic Star Academy team returned to the hotel dejectedly and spontaneously went to Zhou Lin's room to apologize to her.
The four freshman representatives stood in a row, looking ashamed. They looked at Zhou Lin with ashamed eyes and said, "Sorry, senior sister, we disappointed you."
Facing their apologies, Zhou Lin slightly pursed her lips and said, "You didn't let me down. In terms of overall strength, you are weaker than the Federal Military University. It is normal for you to lose to them. I watched the match and each of you did your best to display your strongest strength. You have done very well, don't blame yourselves."
"But senior sister, as the official representatives, the pressure is too great. It's all our fault. If we were stronger, senior sister wouldn't be so tired."
"Pressure is also a motivation."
Zhou Lin chuckled, "Only the top two in the new student competition will have points. Do you think you can defeat the representative of the First Academy of Star Dragon or Qinchuan?"
Hearing Zhou Lin's words, everyone could not help but fall silent. Whether it was the First Academy of Star Dragon or Qinchuan, they were not opponents they could defeat. Therefore, even if they forced their way into the semi-finals, they would not be able to get any points for the Cosmic Star Academy.
"Okay, go back. Seriously reflect and review the match. There is still the revival match waiting for you. Don't think too much about other things."
After sending off the new student representatives, Zhou Lin sighed and said to Duan Yuxin, who was sitting to the side, "These young people's temperaments are still too bad. They only met with a small setback, yet they ran to me and expressed their guilt and self-blame. Is this an apology, or are they worried that I will reprimand them and are deliberately putting on an act for me to see?"
Zhou Lin had experienced many things and was not the kind of person who could be easily fooled. She could tell that these freshmen representatives did not have much self-blame or guilt in their hearts. They took the initiative to apologize and admit their mistakes because they wanted to leave a good impression in front of her. They did not want their future in university to be affected by this matter.
Duan Yuxin sneered and said, "If we didn't watch the whole battle, we might have been fooled. Have you ever seen anyone fight with all their strength without any injuries on their body? Even their clothes are clean and tidy.
These people really think we're fools! "
If it wasn't for Zhou Lin, Duan Yuxin would have already scolded the freshmen representatives. These people represented Starry Sky Academy's face to the outside, but the things they did made people look down on them.
Yesterday, when the Blackmoon Combat Academy fought against the Divine Sword Academy, Bluepool was forced into a desperate situation and lost because his abdomen was pierced by a sword. Chen Changxing, in order to buy time for Qinchuan, had his chest pierced by a sword. In Duan Yuxin's eyes, Bluepool and Chen Changxing's performance was worthy of the word "tried their best". Although they lost, it was glorious!
"People are selfish. If they are not willing to fight for the academy's honor, the academy will naturally not nurture them in the future."
Zhou Lin smiled and said, "They are still young. In the future, they will naturally regret what they have done."
"I'm just a little angry. How can the representative chosen by our Cosmic Star Academy be so lousy!" Duan Yuxin's face was full of displeasure, "If only you could have abducted Qin Chuan to our school.
If you and Qinchuan join hands, you will definitely be able to kill everyone in the six academies' ranking competition! "
Zhou Lin glanced at Duan Yuxin and said, "You talk too much today."
Duan Yuxin rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, I know. I won't mention him."
After ending the previous topic, Duan Yuxin asked Zhou Lin, "You have been studying your opponents in the official competition these few days. Who do you think is the biggest threat to you?"
Zhou Lin pondered for a moment and replied, "To be honest, the person who poses the biggest threat to me might not necessarily go on stage."
…
After the first round of the competition ended, the revival round was next.
The three teams participating in the revival round were the Blackheaven Sect's affiliated universities, the Divine Sword Academy and the Cosmic Star Academy.
During the drawing of lots, the Blackheaven Sect's affiliated universities had a bye. The first match was between the Divine Sword Academy and the Cosmic Star Academy.
In this match, the Cosmic Star Academy was completely reduced to a laughing stock. Because the four people from the Cosmic Star Academy were defeated by the Divine Sword Academy's Gao Zhenzhen alone!
A string of four people had also appeared in the previous six academies' ranking competition, but the people who could accomplish such a feat were all peerless geniuses. And Gao Zhenzhen was only barely ranked third among the freshmen representatives of the Divine Sword Academy. Among all the contestants participating in the freshmen competition, she was even more unremarkable.
In the end, it was not that Gao Zhenzhen was too strong, but the performance of the freshmen representatives of the Cosmic Star Academy was too unbearable!
Originally, because of Zhou Lin's sudden appearance, many people had great expectations for the performance of the Cosmic Star Academy in this year's six academies' ranking competition. But the performance of the freshmen representatives of the Cosmic Star Academy put a big question mark on their expectations of Zhou Lin.
This time, the freshmen representatives of the Cosmic Star Academy did not shamelessly apologize to Zhou Lin because they were too ashamed to face anyone.
In the following match between the Blackheaven Sect's affiliated universities and the Divine Sword Academy, the Blackheaven Sect's affiliated universities used all their strength and finally defeated the Divine Sword Academy, winning the final spot in the semifinals. At this point, the semifinals of the freshmen competition had been determined. They were the Stardragon's First Academy, the Federation's Military University, the Blackmoon Combat Academy and the Blackheaven Sect's affiliated universities.
Because the Stardragon's First Academy had fought against the Blackheaven Sect's affiliated universities before, in the semifinals, the Stardragon's First Academy would face the Federation's Military University and the Blackmoon Combat Academy would face the Blackheaven Sect's affiliated universities.
The date of the match was set for May 25, at 9 AM.
