The old principal understood clearly that if it weren't for Su Bai, a powerful Silver Level competitor, and the mysterious existence of the Ancient Moon Blue Book, they would be participating in the Battlefield League like tourists, just going through the motions. As for Fukuchuan Military Academy, who came to participate in the Battlefield League alongside Jiangzhou Wu University, they were truly just there to make up the numbers, focusing more on participation than competition.
Looking around, there was no team weaker than them! When Su Bai reached into the darkroom, he kept silently wishing for a stronger opponent. Meanwhile, the old principal held his breath, watching Su Bai's hand, silently hoping for a weaker one, preferably a bye!
The other captains of Wuda were also silently contemplating the opponents they wished to draw. When the lottery results were announced, the host spoke up:
"Now I will announce the matchups. In the first match: Luohe Military Academy versus Fukuchuan Military Academy!"
Hearing this, the old principal cast a gleeful glance at Principal Fukuchuan Military Academy not far away, as if to say: "Brother, you are really unlucky!"
"Round two: ..."
"Round two: ..."
"The fourth round: ......"
"Jiangzhou Wu University received a bye in this match!" Su Bai felt terrible when he heard that he drew a bye. He wished he could slap himself right there!
What luck is this?
With a one in nine chance, I actually managed to draw it myself?
Why don't I go buy a lottery ticket?
What the hell, this is a huge loss! This is Battlefield League! If you round it up, it's a loss of several tens of millions!
What sin have I committed to draw a bye?! But the draw result cannot be changed. Su Bai can only walk back to his position with regret and indignation on his face. He sat down dejectedly, not saying a word!
"Hahaha, Su Bai, well done!
Just as Su Bai was feeling indignant about losing tens of millions, The old principal came to Su Bai with a smile and patted his shoulder, saying:
"I told you, kid, you're a lucky one, hahaha!"
"This luck is really something. It was a wise decision to choose you as the team captain!!"
Su Bai being drawn as a bye is a loss of resources for the strong colleges, but for the weaker ones, it's a risk-free opportunity to improve their ranking.
As long as the ranking improves, school will be allocated more resources in the future, which will greatly benefit the development and overall strength of school!
It is true that some are happy while others are sad! When some people are happy, others are feeling sorrowful. Su Bai looked listless as he watched the old principal laughing heartily, not even in the mood to speak.
If I were truly lucky, how could I end up with a bye?
Oh no...
Loveless...
The world is so unfriendly... full of malice! The more Su Bai thought about it, the more depressed he became, so he decided to start observing the ongoing match.
In Luohe Military Academy, among the five main team members, there was one Silver Novice, three at the High Bronze level, and one at the Intermediate Bronze level.
If it weren't for the restriction of allowing only one junior student to participate, Su Bai would suspect that Luohe Military Academy could field more Silver Level combatants.
In the arena, Luohe Military Academy sent out only one high Bronze Level team member, who achieved a record of five consecutive victories. Mao Kai didn't even get the chance to use his superpower and was directly knocked out by a rapid close-range attack.
Watching his team suffer such a crushing defeat, Principal Fukuchuan Military Academy looked very grim. Meanwhile, the team from Jiangzhou Wu University had a bye for one round, which only added to his envy.
A sour feeling spread in Principal Fukuchuan Military Academy's heart.
"If this time it's Jiangzhou Wu University facing off against Luo city University, and we, Fukuchuan Military Academy, have a bye, then after this round of hundred schools re-ranking, we will be above Jiangzhou Wu University!"
"Hey, Jiangzhou Wu University really has good luck!"
After the four matches in the morning concluded, Su Bai eagerly awaited the start of the afternoon matches. As he reached into the darkroom with great anticipation, he fervently thought to himself: even if he faced Luohe Military Academy, it would be fine; the stronger the opponent, the more resources there would be.
This time, make sure not to miss out! The old principal was also looking at Su Bai with great anticipation, silently hoping: Su Bai, you must do well! Cool, don't let me draw another miss!
The draw is complete. When the host received the list of the competition order, she looked puzzled in the direction of Jiangzhou Wu University. However, she still read out the competition order for the first eight universities. Finally, after hesitating for a moment, she said, "Ahem... This round, Jiangzhou Wu University has a bye."
Su Bai: ???
Luohe Military Academy: ???
Fukuchuan Military Academy: ???
Audience at the venue: ???
Nationwide viewers: ???
Damn!
Is this going against the natural order?
Did Su Bai save the entire human race in his previous life?
What kind of luck is this? Jiangzhou Wu university didn't do anything, just sat in the audience for a few days of competition, and then inexplicably went from a non-prestigious martial arts university to becoming one of the top twenty universities in the country?
Is this reasonable?
Two consecutive byes are simply unbelievable!
In an instant, the audience began to whisper among themselves, and even a few of the Military judges seemed puzzled.
They are all of gold class strength, and the captain of Jiangzhou Wu University, Su Bai, is only of Intermediate level bronze strength. How could he possibly play tricks under their noses?
But the result is in front of us, and everyone is somewhat incredulous. Many of the audience below have raised objections.
"Could Jiangzhou Wu University have some inside information? They've actually had two consecutive byes?"
"What's going on? I came all this way just to see Su Bai sitting on the bench, munching on peanuts and drinking cola. Once being skipped is one thing, but why twice in a row!"
"Exactly! Your competition system is so unfair! How can such a strong competitor like Su Bai be skipped repeatedly? This shows a lack of respect for the opponents!"
"Is it that Luohe Military Academy is afraid of facing Su Bai head-on, so they deliberately let Jiangzhou Wu University be skipped?"
Hearing this, the student from Luohe Military Academy's face darkened! Are we afraid of him? What a joke!
"Bring him up if you dare! The whole venue fell into chaos because Su Bai drew a bye twice. Even the competition had to be paused. One of the military judges stood up and said:"
"Dear audience, I know you are puzzled about the two instances of Jiangzhou Wu University being given a bye. The match will be paused for ten minutes while we investigate the reasons and provide an explanation to everyone."
"If it turns out to be a darkroom operation, then Jiangzhou Wu University will be disqualified from the competition. However, if it was simply a matter of good luck with two byes, then we have nothing further to say."
Military is the organizer of this Inter-school Competition, and their statements are trusted by everyone as they eagerly await the results.
The old principal Seeing the situation so intense, quietly pulled Su Bai aside, carefully looked around, and only when he was sure that no one was nearby, asked in a low voice:
"Su Bai, you didn't really tamper with anything during these two byes, did you?"
