Chapter 137: Thought to be the weakest, turned out to be the strongest!
The dean of Titan Academy, named Angus Dodge.
He is a level 190 Four-turn Magic God.
At the moment.
The students of his academy were about to be devoured and crushed by that blue slime.
As the dean was about to intervene, he was forcibly interrupted by the opponent in an extremely ingenious way. Judging by the opponent's demeanor, it was obvious that he would not let him rescue his students successfully.
This made Angus's face completely angry.
He was responsible for bringing the prodigies from his school to compete in Dragon Nation. To put it nicely, it was for the purpose of exchanging ideas, but to put it bluntly, it was to continue humiliating Dragon Nation and even humanity.
However, unexpectedly, his side was completely wiped out.
This result was hard for him to accept.
But what made him feel even more embarrassed.
After all, in the circles of various alien empires, disdain for human weakness was very popular.
Everyone was crazily ridiculing and attacking humans in various ways to show that they were more noble than the human species.
But now, losing the competition, and losing their lives, was a huge embarrassment.
Returning to the Orc King's court, he, as the leading dean, would probably be held accountable.
Moreover, it was estimated that his position as dean would not be stable.
Thinking of this.
Angus was so angry that he wanted to roar, but under the strange gazes of his colleagues, he could only close his eyes helplessly.
"Ah!"
And on the stage below, seeing that their dean could not rescue them, they could only let out desperate screams, and then were directly crushed and devoured by the mountain-like slime.
The slime had no mouth, but its entire body could be a mouth.
Because the way the slime ate was to let various objects enter its body.
And its entire body was soft and squishy, as long as it wished, anything could fall into its body without any obstacles.
It was like an incredibly terrifying wave. Although the six orcs frantically retreated and assumed their strongest defensive posture.
But it was ultimately useless.
Poof!
Xiao Zi directly swallowed the six orcs into its body and used its two talents, "Endless Devouring" and "Universal Decomposition."
The six orcs had just been swallowed by Xiao Zi and were instantly decomposed into various nutrients that merged into Xiao Zi's body.
At the same time, because Xiao Zi devoured these beings far beyond its level, it gained certain permanent attribute bonuses.
[Your pet 'Xiao Zi' devoured Kalakto, armor, and magic resistance increased by 10%.]
[Your pet 'Xiao Zi' devoured Atai, magic attack increased by 10%.]
[Your pet 'Xiao Zi' devoured Milotes, physical attack increased by 10%.]
...
At this moment, the purple patterns on Xiao Zi's body became more distinct.
Ding Ding!
And the referee on the side, witnessing the six fierce orc players being ruthlessly devoured, raised his hand in shock and horror, announcing:
"Given that all members of Titan Academy have completely fallen, I declare..."
"The winner of the first round of the top 16 to the top 8 elimination match is Xuanyuan Academy!"
As soon as the words fell.
"Oooooh!"
All the Dragon Nation spectators erupted with cheers filled with shock and celebration!
Unexpected!
Too unexpected!
No one expected Xuanyuan Academy to actually defeat Titan Academy!
This...
To be honest.
Before this, almost no one thought Xuanyuan Academy could defeat Titan Academy.
Especially when Wang Chen, the captain, proposed a 'deathmatch application.'
At that time, many people thought this move was extremely unwise and impulsive.
It was like sending oneself to death.
But the current result was indeed a slap in the face to many.
"Awesome! We actually won!"
"If I remember correctly, in recent years, apart from the year when the senior sister, who has entered the abyss, led the team, the results of our Dragon Nation have not been ideal..."
"Not just not ideal! But more than ten years ago, our Dragon Nation was once glorious, but now it seems Xuanyuan Academy has become the pillar!"
"At first, thought to be the weakest, turned out to be the strongest!?"
"What kind of slime is that? Why does my identification technique show it as a first-rank ordinary beast?"
"It should be that its pet information was deliberately disguised."
"Ah? The information on the panel can only be concealed, not altered. This is genuinely an ordinary beast!"
"Have you ever seen an ordinary beast that can overpower these orc prodigies!?"
"..."
While everyone was happy and surprised, they couldn't help but be amazed and puzzled.
And if there was anyone who couldn't hold their head up high right now...
It was undoubtedly the orc empire's audience.
Interestingly...
What these orc audience members were thinking at this moment was not marveling at the slime's strength, but blaming Kalakto and the other six team members.
Despising and blaming these six orcs for their poor performance.
"Damn! We should have let the team visiting the Free Federation come over!"
"But who would have thought Kalakto and the others were so useless?"
Yes...
In the eyes of the orcs, a defeat, no matter how strong the opponent, if their side lost, the first reaction was to despise their own team's poor performance.
If you're not weak, how could you not beat them?
Don't tell me how strong the opponent is.
Conversely, doesn't it show that we are too weak?
But no matter what.
The end of this match also meant that no one dared to underestimate Xuanyuan Academy's team.
The emotions of the Dragon Nation spectators were particularly high because of this.
However, it quickly fell again.
The reason is simple.
In the next seven matches.
Seven Stars Academy faced Avalon Academy from the Elf Empire and was defeated miserably.
Dongling Academy faced Dracula Academy from the Vampire Empire and was defeated miserably.
Mingyuan Academy faced Tanding Academy from the Demon Empire and was also defeated miserably.
Only Mosters Academy, against Golden Academy from the Dwarf Empire, ended in a crushing victory.
The rest of the alien teams had internal battles.
Among the top eight.
Out of the five Dragon Nation academies, only Xuanyuan Academy and Mosters Academy made it through.
The remaining six teams were all from alien empires.
And in terms of strong versus strong...
Dragon Nation was currently at a disadvantage.
Xuanyuan Academy defeated Titan Academy, scoring one point.
Mosters Academy defeated Golden Academy, scoring one point.
But the remaining three Dragon Nation academies all lost.
The score was 2-3, trailing by one point.
Whether the two Dragon Nation teams could break through in the quarterfinals and meet in the finals was very uncertain.
