At this time, a female cultivator in plain clothes named Yin Lan was also looking at the light curtain intently and praying silently in her heart.
"Dad, please protect my daughter and assign her to a better school so that she can graduate soon."
However, to her disappointment, when her name finally appeared on the screen, the name of the academic officer was very unfamiliar.
Xu Chunniang.
Is it the newly promoted earth-level academic official whose cultivation level is only in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation
Looking at this name, Yin Lan and the other forty-nine students all felt complicated.
Some people are even mentally prepared to fight again next time.
Soon, the drawing of lots was completed, and ten thousand students were divided into one thousand teams.
Mr. Zeng opened his eyes and pronounced the rules in a calm voice.
"Each student officer now has three incense sticks of time to formulate a strategy, and then they will fight one by one according to their team numbers until the ranking is determined.
In addition, each team only has one chance to lose, and if they lose, they are out! "
Mr. Zeng's words made the students who were assigned to satisfactory academic officials look pleased.
Others, who were assigned to academic officers with little reputation and poor performance, looked depressed.
Xu Chunniang wrote down the rules of the competition and glanced at the five teams that had hurriedly gathered.
Just as she was planning to learn about each student's strengths and make some tactical arrangements, an uninvited guest suddenly arrived.
It turned out to be Xu Zisheng.
Xu Zisheng looked calm, as if he had long forgotten the unpleasant experience of the last time.
"Xu Xueguan, if you change your mind, you still have a chance."
Xu Chunniang said calmly, "Brother Xu, right now I still need to work out strategies with these five teams, so I'm sorry I can't accompany you."
Xu Zisheng smiled indifferently and whispered to Xu Chunniang.
"Xueguan Xu, you don't know that the rules of this actual combat exercise have changed a bit. The academy has prepared a total of 100 treasures, but there is only one purple bamboo.
The order of selection will be based on the ranking of each team, and the higher the ranking, the higher the priority. "
Xu Chunniang frowned slightly. She had heard that the reward for this actual combat exercise was three purple bamboos.
How come there is only one left now
Xu Zisheng paused and continued to transmit the message.
“I believe in Xu Xueguan’s ability, but I don’t think that Xu Xueguan can lead his team to win the championship in his first time leading the team.
If Xu Xueguan still goes his own way, to be honest, many powerful people in the fusion stage have already said that if they get first place, they will definitely choose Zijunzhu. "
Xu Chunniang's heart sank. Sure enough, the thing she was most worried about had happened.
Wangtianhu was even more angry, and a divine thought came out from the soul-calming pot.
"Threats! Xu girl, this is a naked threat! We can't agree to them!"
Xu Zisheng looked at Xu Chunniang meaningfully, waiting patiently for her decision.
In his opinion, this female cultivator was lucky enough to be valued and won over by so many powerful people.
This time, she shouldn't refuse again, right
Xu Chunniang raised her head, her lips slightly raised, but there was no smile on her face.
"Thank you, Brother Xu, for telling me this. If you don't have anything else important to do, I'm sorry I won't see you off."
Xu Zisheng's breath was choked.
This ignorant female cultivator actually dared to refuse? !
Did she know what she was rejecting
"You are very good. You dare to offend the seven major families. I am waiting for the day when you will apologize for your crime!"
Xu Zisheng looked unhappy and no longer had the interest to continue acting as a lobbyist, so he walked away in anger.
Wangtianhu, who witnessed all this, rarely helped Xu Chunniang to cheer up.
"Xu girl, well done! Hey, in this crappy competition, isn't it easy to get first place?"
"Oh, you won't tell me this time and let me exchange it with the Dragon Clan Holy Tree and the Cold Marrow Ice Jade?"
"That guy was too arrogant just now. He dared to act arrogant in front of Grandpa Qie. You must slap him hard in the face! Of course, the exchange is also just in case..."
Xu Chunniang ignored Wang Tianhu and looked at the fifty students in front of her again, her eyes slightly narrowed.
Half of the three incense sticks of time had passed, and she could not delay any longer.
These five teams are all under her name, but there is really not much she can do.
Time is limited. It is impossible to suddenly improve the students' skills or temporarily impart combat experience to them.
After much thought, she realized that the only way to gain an advantage in this small-scale battle was to use formations.
She thought about it carefully and soon came up with a formation that was suitable for this situation.
While Xu Chunniang stared in silence, Yin Lan, who was not far away, was already feeling anxious.
Although she was not optimistic about this newly promoted prefectural-level academic official, she did not expect that he would be in a daze the entire time during this most precious period of time.
Even if you don't have confidence in yourself, you still have to pretend to be confident.
Aren't you really afraid of being disliked by students in the future for doing nothing
Just when Yin Lan was daydreaming, her name was suddenly called.
"Yin Lan, step out."
"Ma Tianfeng, step out."
"He Yong, step out."
…
Xu Chunniang called out a student from each team in one breath.
Then, he sent several divine thoughts to the five people, which were exactly the method of setting up the Nine Palaces Thousand Illusions Formation.
This was a formation she created after reading through all the formation books in the Wanjuan Pavilion.
The magic of it lies in that it does not require everyone in the formation to understand the operating mechanism of the entire formation. They only need to complete the actions of their own parts to drive the formation to operate.
"The method of setting up the formation and the duties of each person are already in my mind. If we act accordingly, it will not be difficult to advance to the top 100."
As she spoke, Xu Chunniang looked indifferent.
Seeing this, Yin Lan couldn't help but feel more confident.
Seeing that most of the three incense sticks of time had passed, she hurriedly looked at the other team members, sent out several divine thoughts, and quickly explained the key points of the formation.
The three incense sticks of time are up in a flash.
One thousand teams officially began the competition.
Xu Chunniang separated her divine thoughts into five parts and looked at the battlefields of the five teams under her name.
Although the Nine Palaces Thousand Illusions Formation simplifies the complex and is easy to set up, it is also limited by one's understanding of it.
At this time, the formation effects displayed by the five teams were not the same.
She only took a cursory glance at the first four teams and discovered a lot of omissions. It was obvious that the people in the formation had some deviations in their understanding of the formation.
When Xu Chunniang saw the team Yin Lan was in, her heart moved.
Yin Lan was seen sitting in the center, with one person standing in each of the eight directions of southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest with a specific step. The last person was outside the Nine Palaces, serving as a surprise force and support.
This is exactly the same as the formation method taught by Xu Chunniang: "Two and four are shoulders, six and eight are feet, three on the left and seven on the right, nine on the head and one on the feet, five in the center."
The team facing Yin Lan's team was led by another local-level academic officer.
The team placed three students in the front, four in the middle, and two on the left and right as support wings. The formation was quite rough.
As soon as the two collided, the winner was immediately clear.
Yin Lan and the others followed Xu Chunniang's instructions, mobilizing their spiritual power, and under the guidance of the magical formation, they were able to turn the scattered energy into a whole.
