Chapter 358: Be Deliberately Mystifying

As they did not know the other party’s goal, Wang Xiao and the others did not act rashly.
A moment later, the team from the Kaiyang Academy was the first to arrive. Fang Tianyu and the other seven people dismounted, and the ten people from the Flowing Cloud Academy arrived on a tornado.
The three teams faced each other from dozens of meters away. They had clearly been fighting side by side not long ago, but now, they began to guard against each other again.
An awkward atmosphere spread. Wang Xiao pursed his lips and broke the silence. “You guys… what’s the matter?”
Fang Tianyu opened her mouth but did not say anything. Instead, it was Su
BoxNovel.comQingmo from the Flowing Cloud Academy who said, “I’ll be straightforward. There are only three teams here now. I don’t know what the Kaiyang Academy is here for, but we’re here to challenge you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Tianyu also followed the topic and said,
“Me too. There’s not much time left. We want to get more points.”
“No need?”
Fang Tianyu and Su Qingmo were stunned.
The straightforward Tang Hengshan directly asked, “Wang Xiao, what do you mean by that?”
“It means we can discuss it.”
Wang Xiao smiled and paused for a moment before suggesting, “Why don’t we talk about what the goal of each academy is first? Our Yuheng’s goal is to surpass Kaiyang and become first.”
“Me too!”
Su Qingmo continued, “Surpass Yuheng and Kaiyang to become first!”
Fang Tianyu was silent for a moment. “Our goal is to maintain first place.” “Alright! Then let’s talk about our current points?”
Wang Xiao nodded and made another suggestion. Before the two of them could speak, he said, “If I’m not wrong, the total points of your two academies should be five digits, right?”
Seeing the two women nod, Wang Xiao continued, “Our total points are also five digits. The first number is ‘1’. What about you?
Fang Tianyu and Su Qingmo looked at each other. Fang Tianyu replied warily, “Our first number is ‘2’.”
“We’re also at ‘2’,” Su Qingmo replied quickly.
“In that case, the current situation is very clear.”
Wang Xiao nodded thoughtfully and analyzed seriously, “The difference between us is not too big. Any team that eliminates another team can firmly sit on the championship throne, so we still have a chance.”
No one answered.
Fang Tianyu and Su Qingmo looked at each other again with puzzled expressions. It was not that they did not understand, but they had known about this from the beginning.
The points of the entire eliminated team would be locked and this would be the final result of this team. At the same time, these points would also be added to the winning team. Therefore, even if there were only two teams left, it was impossible to determine who would win.
Putting aside strength, this rule could ensure that no team would lose the hope of winning before the competition ended. This would induce the participants to still maintain a considerable fighting passion in the later stages of the competition.
This was one of the rules of the academy’s ranking assessment this time. They had already heard it from the commentator before everyone entered the secret realm, so they did not understand what Wang Xiao was trying to do by analyzing this matter.
Moreover, it was not only Fang Tianyu and Su Qingmo who did not understand. Wang Xiao’s teammates also did not understand.
The three of them looked at each other with strange expressions. Yi Han went to Gao Lixuan’s side and asked softly, “Brother Xuan, why did my idol suddenly start repeating the rules?”
Gao Lixuan shook his head to indicate that he did not know. However, he saw the corners of Zhou Xiruo’s mouth suddenly curl up. His heart skipped a beat as he probed, “Do you know something?”
“I just asked him through the [vassal contract].”
Zhou Xiruo nodded and whispered in a voice that only a few people could hear, “Do you still remember how many points we have now?”
“I think it’s more than 20,000…’
Gao Lixuan subconsciously replied. As soon as he finished speaking, he reacted. “But Wang Xiao said that we only have around 10,000 points just
“That’s right.”
Zhou Xiruo pursed her lips and chuckled. “The other two teams both have more than 20,000 points, but Wang Xiao thinks that they won’t have much more than us.”
“The Flowing Cloud Academy eliminated the fourth and fifth teams, but they didn’t encounter many mutated beasts. Although the Kaiyang Academy has dealt with many mutated beasts previously, they haven’t eliminated the other teams…”
“I think I understand!”
Gao Lixuan had a flash of inspiration. “The two enemies from before were killed by Wang Xiao. If the points of Yaoguang Academy were also given to us, then we would have actually eliminated four teams. Therefore, the difference in our points will definitely not be too big!”
Zhou Xiruo nodded, but Yi Han was even more confused. “What are you talking about? What does the difference have to do with the rules?”
“Can you use your brain?”
Gao Lixuan glared at Yi Han angrily. “If we continue to fight, even if only one person is eliminated, the difference between us will increase. Therefore, we definitely can’t fight now.”
At this point, Gao Lixuan glanced at the two teams with a faint smile. “Therefore, Wang Xiao is stalling for time. He’ll try his luck before the competition ends. We might still have a chance of winning!”
“I see!”
Yi Han slapped his forehead in realization. Although this method could not guarantee victory, it could retain a portion of the hope of victory.
After all, there were only four of them now, and almost all of them were injured. If they were in the base, they could still fight with the fortifications. However, in the wilderness, they would definitely not be able to gain an advantage!
While the three of them were whispering behind, Wang Xiao continued to fool them.
Perhaps it was because the strength Wang Xiao had displayed previously had been recognized, or perhaps it was because his attitude was sincere enough but it seemed to be working. Although Fang Tianyu and Su Qingmo did not know what he wanted to say at all, they still listened quietly without interrupting.
At the same time, Zhou Xiruo silently opened the interface and informed Wang Xiao of the remaining time through the [vassal contract]. It seemed that everything was developing steadily according to his plan.
Under Wang Xiao’s exaggerated analysis, time slowly passed minute by minute. However, when there were only ten minutes left, Su Qingmo finally could not stand it anymore.
“Sorry to interrupt!”
Su Qingmo raised his right hand and looked at Wang Xiao helplessly. “Can you be more direct? Or have you thought of a solution?”
Hearing Su Qingmo’s words, Fang Tianyu seemed to have reacted. She opened the interface and took a look. Then, she frowned and said suspiciously, “Wang
Xiao, there are only ten minutes left for the competition. Don’t tell me you’re trying to drag it out until the end?”
Wang Xiao’s expression froze. His first reaction was to deny it, but he really could not say anything.
However, if he admitted it, it would definitely cause a chaotic battle between the three schools. Although ten minutes was not long, it was enough for variables to happen..
