Shen Yanxiao came to the first floor of the inn and saw Kehr sitting there.
“Congratulations, your students have won again.” Kehr got up and congratulated Shen Yanxiao with a smile.
“Thank you.” Shen Yanxiao sat down with a smile.
“Actually, I called you here today because I have something to tell you.” Kehr’s expression suddenly became serious.
“What is it?”
“I know you haven’t gone to the arena to see their matches, but this time I want to tell you that the rules of the competition have completely changed. It has become a real battlefield. It is really lucky that the members of the Flaming Red Squad can come back intact.” Kehr had long been accustomed to Shen Yanxiao’s practice of leaving things to others. As the main person in charge of the selection competition, Kehr would be present in every match, but he had never seen Shen Yanxiao in the venue. This time, he guessed that Shen Yanxiao must not have gone again, so she would not know the change of the rules.
“Is that so?” Shen Yanxiao smiled without batting an eyelid. She knew about this of course. How could she not know? She had watched today’s matches from beginning to end, and she knew better than anyone how outstanding her naughty brats were.
“Among the top eight teams, with the exception of your team and the Royal Academy team, the other six teams have suffered heavy casualties. The other two teams that won directly withdrew from the competition after today. The selection directly skipped the top four rounds to the final round. In five days, we will enter the finals.” Shen Yanxiao’s calmness convinced Kehr that Shen Yanxiao did not go to the arena again today. No one who had seen today’s matches would be shocked.
Watching a group of teenagers fighting on the stage, grief and struggle were vividly reflected in their bodies. That kind of stimulation would not let anyone continue to calm down.
“Why did the rules suddenly change?” Shen Yanxiao had always been curious as to why the format of today’s match had changed halfway. If it was like this from the beginning, she would not be surprised. However, this change was actually implemented in the second half of the first match.
Shen Yanxiao had always believed that the goal of the Undead Lord for this selection competition this time was to gather a new group of elites before the war.
However, the change in the rules had completely overturned that possibility.
No one would kill off their future soldiers in such a competition. None of the students in the top eight teams were weak. Even the students of the Specter College who had lost to the Flaming Red Squad were elites. With a little training, they could become an extremely lethal team.
Kehr sighed and said, “It’s my Lord’s idea.”
Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows.
Kehr continued, “Today, my Lord also came to watch the competition, but not long after the competition began, he announced the rule change.”
It was actually the intention of the Undead Lord?
Shen Yanxiao found it even stranger.
Was there such a self-destructive Lord?
With the exception of the Specter College that fought against the Flaming Red Squad, a large number of deaths had occurred in the other defeated academies. Many members of the other two victorious teams had also died in battle. This rule that resulted in the loss of their elite forces was really hard for Shen Yanxiao to understand.
It had to be known that those who could enter the selection competition were the top students in various academies, and the top eight students were selected from thousands of candidates. As long as such talents trained for a period of time, their fighting strength after entering the battlefield would far exceed other soldiers.
