Chapter 111: Team Configuration! Sparring with the Bounty Squad!
The Interracial Freshman Exchange Competition.
There are less than half a month until the event starts.
Now, the empires of all races around the world have signed a truce agreement. To enhance friendship between countries, each year, various empires send freshmen from each major human country to compete.
Of course...
They say it's a competition, but in the eyes of these empires, the real purpose is to show dominance over the human nations.
Your human nations' strongest freshmen are crushed by the new generation elites from our empires!
Humans are inferior.
These naturally gifted races are the true masters of this world.
Well...
It’s no wonder these empires are so arrogant.
The main reason is that these aliens are born with 'racial talents.'
For example...
The Elven race has 'Magical Affinity.'
The Giant race has 'Bravery of a Severed Arm.'
The Beast race has 'Strength Domination.'
And so on.
This makes them inherently stronger than humans from birth.
And they take pride in their bloodlines.
At this moment.
In the main teaching building of the Xuanyuan Academy, in the No. 1 conference room.
When Wang Chen stepped in, he found several people already seated inside.
And Wang Chen recognized all these people.
Meng Yongsheng, Shen Miao, Cao Wenbin, Feng Yurong, Huang Fan.
Besides these five, there was a girl with a gentle expression. From the holy aura she exuded, it was initially confirmed that her profession was a priest.
Her name was Zhou Keke.
Ranked thirty-fourth in Xuanyuan Academy.
"Wang Chen, you're here..."
"Sit."
Dean He Fu'an sat at the main seat in the conference room, without a trace of the dean's aura, and gestured for Wang Chen to sit.
Meng Yongsheng and the others also looked at Wang Chen.
After Wang Chen sat down.
Dean He Fu'an smiled and said, "Wang Chen, you must already know that this year's Interracial Freshman Exchange Competition, you will represent our Xuanyuan Academy."
"However, this year's exchange competition is a bit different from previous years."
As he spoke, the old dean clasped his hands together and said slowly, "After discussions among the countries, this year's Interracial Freshman Exchange Competition will change from the original individual competition to a 7V7 team competition."
"In other words, the ten academies of Dragon Nation have to select seven freshmen each to form teams and compete."
"The six people sitting here, besides you, will form a team with you and compete together."
"And you, will be the captain of this team."
"No problem?"
Wang Chen nodded lightly without hesitation, "No problem."
His tone was very calm and composed, giving a reliable impression.
"Good, that's great..."
Dean He Fu'an nodded in satisfaction, feeling completely relieved inside.
With Wang Chen, the chance of Xuanyuan Academy winning the championship this year is very high.
"Also, the team needs to get familiar with each other. But with your current strength, there's no team in the second year that can match you."
"So the school has invited a very famous bounty hunter team to spar with you."
"This bounty hunter team is not simple. The members are at least level 80, and the captain is as high as level 90. I think it's enough to be your sparring partner."
Dean He Fu'an laughed.
The quality of last year's second-year students was uneven.
Those with a bit of strength went to the Abyss Continent for life-and-death training after a year of advanced studies.
The remaining 30,000 second-year students can only be said to be average, with no outstanding individuals.
Last year, Xuanyuan Academy didn't even make it into the top ten in the Interracial Freshman Exchange Competition.
The year before last, thanks to the then third-year student council president, they got second place.
This year...
Xuanyuan Academy must make a comeback!
...
...
The next day.
The bounty hunter team hired by the school arrived at Xuanyuan Academy at 8 a.m.
Wang Chen and others were already waiting in Arena No. 1.
Their team's lineup was actually quite good.
In the front row, Feng Yurong, a Dragonblood Cavalier, took the lead.
For damage output, Swordmaster Meng Yongsheng and Grand Magister Cao Wenbin teamed up, with one being long-range and the other close-range; one magical and one physical.
For support, there was the second turn Grand Priest Zhou Keke, who is currently level 63.
For the roaming role, Wang Chen, Huang Fan, and Shen Miao took charge.
Among them, Wang Chen was the captain, responsible for tactical command.
The so-called roaming role is actually the 'substitute position' in the team.
Also known as the 'jack of all trades.'
Whatever the team lacks, they fill in.
For example, if Feng Yurong, the front row, can't withstand the enemy's firepower, Wang Chen, Shen Miao, and Huang Fan must find a way to relieve the pressure, reduce the damage taken, or let their beast pets or mechs take the hits for Feng Yurong.
If the damage output isn't enough, they must supplement it.
If the healer can't keep up, the roaming role also has to step in.
Huang Fan's second beast pet is a spirit rabbit, which is biased toward healing and support.
"No wonder it's a top academy. This arena is more than ten times larger than the ones in high school..."
Wang Chen observed around. The whole arena had a circular architectural style.
Roughly estimated, it can accommodate at least tens of thousands of people at the same time.
This could be used as a venue for large competitions.
And the bounty hunter team named 'Glory' had a much better team configuration than Wang Chen's team.
Two front row members, one a Light Shield Warrior who can reduce the opponent's armor attributes.
One a Dark Shield Warrior who can reduce the opponent's magic resistance and abnormal resistance.
Two damage dealers, one a Mechanical Warrior, capable of both long-range and close-range physical damage.
One a Dark Priest, a functional magical damage dealer with significant damage.
One support priest.
Two roaming roles, one being the captain 'Ajie,' whose profession is a Druid.
The other is a Summoner.
Druids and Summoners are both professions that have healing and damage capabilities.
Well...
At a glance, Wang Chen's team configuration is indeed inferior to the Glory team.
The key is...
These people look very young.
They seem to be only in their early twenties.
They are only two or three years older than Wang Chen's group.
It is said that none of the members of the Glory team attended a specialized high school.
But even so, they are extremely famous in the Adventurers' Guild of Fengtian Province.
It is said that they have even hunted three level 100 monsters.
Their team cooperation can be said to be the pinnacle among bounty hunter teams.
And when the captain Ajie looked down at the list, he couldn't help but frown.
He immediately looked at Wang Chen and others, his face turning ugly, and asked, "Is this your team configuration? Frankly speaking, your team configuration is simply garbage!"
