20 Teams

Chen Yuan’s words immediately caused a huge uproar among the first and second-year students.

“The National Class Tournament? That’s a gathering of all the geniuses from the top universities in the country!”

“I’m so excited. When will it be held? I can’t wait.”

“It seems to be in a month’s time. Who do you guys think will be representing our school?”

The excited voices of the first and second-year students were immediately ridiculed by the third and fourth-year students.

“Tsk, I really don’t know what the first and second-year students are so excited about. You guys can’t participate.”

“That’s right. In the past years, the National Class Tournament has always been led by the top ten geniuses, leading ten teams. How could you be chosen?”

The third-and fourth-year students’ taunting immediately made the first and second-year students shut their mouths.

The top ten geniuses led their teams, but they only chose the stronger third and fourth-year students. The first and second-year students could only be spectators.

Chen Yuan cleared his throat and said, “Everyone, please be quiet and let me finish. This year’s National Class Tournament has a huge change.”

Everyone perked up their ears and listened carefully.

“First of all, the number of teams participating in this competition will be expanded from ten to twenty!”

As soon as he said that, everyone, including the third-and fourth-year seniors, immediately burst into an uproar.

They all knew that the National Class Tournament had set a minimum of four people in a team and a maximum of six people. If each team had five people, then 20 teams meant that 100 students could participate in the tournament.

To them, the National Class Tournament champion prize was very generous. At the same time, it was also a good opportunity for them to make a name for themselves. It would be of great help to their future after graduation.

This was especially true for the third and fourth-year students, who were ranked between 11 and 20 in the school. Their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.

In a corner of the student society.

A group of fourth-year students pounded Fang Wei’s back.

“Fang Wei, you’ve fulfilled your dream. You can participate in the National Class Tournament!”

“Fang Wei, when it’s time for you to choose your team members, you must choose me. I’ll bring you the food from the cafeteria every day!”

Hearing everyone’s envious voices, Fang Wei waved his hand. “Go away. The principal hasn’t announced the name list yet.”

Although he said that, he was overjoyed. Fang Wei, ranked 20th on the hunter university rankings.

They were very powerful, but compared to the ten great demon-level geniuses, they were like fireflies compared to the bright moon.

He had said more than once that he would train hard before the National Class Tournament today to rank among the top ten geniuses and participate in the tournament. However, he had not been able to do as he wished. He was even unable to shake off his rank of 20th.

Now, Chen Yuan had announced that the number of participating teams had increased from ten to twenty.

He was one of the top twenty at Zhejiang Hunter University, and he was undoubtedly the captain of the twentieth team. Fang Wei pursed his lips tightly and bit his teeth so hard that his tongue was about to rot.

“I can’t laugh. I can’t let others look down on me.”

At this time, on the background wall behind the podium, the huge LCD monitor suddenly lit up. The names and profile pictures of the top ten geniuses, as well as their ages, were displayed on the screen.

Zhou Qingfeng was in first place. As the top student in the entire school, there was no doubt that he was the first. Second place was Liu Luchen, and third place was…

After the 11th place, the avatar and name were still in black and white.

Chen Yuan cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, “The top ten geniuses will be the top ten teams. I believe that no one has any objections.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

“Next, I’ll announce the 11th to 20th place!” Chen Yuan announced, “If you have any objections, come to me privately!”

When the students below the stage heard this, they immediately stopped their clamor and stretched their necks to listen to Chen Yuan’s announcement.

“11th place, Ma Han.”

Although he was defeated by Lu Benwei, his strength was still very terrifying. Ma Han’s photo and age appeared on the huge LCD screen, right behind the top ten geniuses.

No one had any objections. When they heard Chen Yuan announce the 20th place, many people looked at Fang Wei in unison and gave him their blessings.

Fang Wei’s lips were tightly pursed, and traces of blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth. His heart was already excited to an unparalleled extent.

As long as he could participate in the National Class Tournament, the great opportunity he had just obtained from the outside secret realm would come in handy. He would be able to shine in the arena!

“20th place, Lu Benwei!”

“Yes!” Fang Wei could no longer control himself and shouted excitedly, “I knew it was me.”

However, the next second, he was stunned. How could this Lu Benwei be in 20th place?

His friends around him also expressed their confusion. Who was Lu Benwei?

In addition, the senior students who had just returned from their training also said that they had never heard of Lu Benwei.

“Who’s Lu Benwei?”

“He just entered the top 20 of the rankings, but why have I never heard of him before?”

“Even if he’s a third-year student, he should’ve shown his talents before.”

“It’s a pity that Fang Wei’s spot was snatched by such an unknown person.”

On the contrary, it was the seniors who had participated in the spirit hunt competition that were calm and collected.

“I was wondering why Lu Benwei didn’t get announced before me. I thought the principal didn’t want him to participate.”

In the student group, Ma Han, who was beaten up by Lu Benwei, said, “So he’s the last one to be announced.”

“Maybe it’s because they’re afraid that once they announce it, it’ll cause a riot and they won’t be able to continue,” someone echoed.

Ma Han’s voice entered Fang Wei’s ears, and he could not help but ask, “Ma Han, who’s Lu Benwei?”

“His information is on the screen in front of us,” Ma Han said to Fang Wei with a noncommittal smile.

Fang Wei immediately turned his head and looked at the last person who appeared on the LCD screen.

Lu Benwei’s profile picture came into view, and the age below it stimulated Fang Wei and the others who did not know about him.

Lu Benwei, Year 1!

“It’s him?” Fang Wei’s pupils suddenly shrank.

The others were also very puzzled.

“Why is it a freshman?”

“This guy’s surname is Lu, right?”

“What right do first-year students have to fight with us fourth-year students for a spot?”

“This is not fair! The principal has to give us an explanation!”

Chen Yuan, who was on the stage, ignored the voices below and said, “Alright, let’s invite the remaining team leaders on the stage.”

Ma Han and the others went on stage one by one. When it was Lu Benwei’s turn, the general stars class and other freshmen all congratulated him.
