Chapter 97 - 97 Troop Type, Everchanging Monster
97 Troop Type, Everchanging Monster
The time flew by and the day for the Inter-Campus Tournament finally arrived.
According to the rules, the entire arena was divided into ten regions. Each region’s key colleges would send a representative to participate in the competition. The school that won first place would advance to the next round and participate in the final contest!
On the teleportation platform, the teachers of the academy were explaining the rules to the students.
“Remember, the trump card of the Commander-in-Chief cannot be easily revealed!”
Su Wan listened to the teacher’s warning. The entire arena was divided into ten regions. How many schools were there in each region?
Su Wan was not clear about the specific numbers. There would be a preliminary round anyway. Ten schools engaged in fierce competition.
In the end, only one person could represent the winning school in the finals!
The qualifiers and regional competition were supposed to work in teams. Only the final contest was based on individual achievement. The winning schools from each region would send their best contestants to participate!
In other words, even if Su Wan’s school won, there was only one person who could represent the Star Academy in the final contest!
“Our school’s results have been pretty good in the past, so we’re exempted from the preliminary selection,” said the teacher.
Only ten people were allowed to participate in the regional competition. Five were selected through the qualifiers. The other five spots would be given based on the results of the previous regional competitions.
The top five schools would be able to participate in the next regional competition directly without having to participate in the selection round!
The Overlords of the Star Academy had been exempted from the preliminary process. Su Wan and the other contestants could directly enter the qualifier round!
“All participants, get ready!” The teleportation gate opened.
Su Wan, as the captain, led the Academy’s Lords and stepped into the gate.
…
Ancient trees reached up to the sky and drowned everything. This was an extremely ancient, primeval forest.
“I didn’t expect that our district’s competition venue would actually be the Wild Woods Forest!” A teammate sighed softly.
The Wild Woods Forest was a famous place in the entire Overlord Plane. The ancient trees towered in the sky. Each of them was more than a hundred years old.
There were ten schools in total, and each school had ten Overlords. A total of one hundred Overlords were competing in this ancient forest.
“Everyone, be on guard!” Su Wan muttered softly.
Under her command as the captain of the team, the Lords summoned their troops. Treants, Pangolins, Forest Demons, and many other troops gathered before dispersing to scout the area.
Su Wan summoned her own troops. None of her troops were suitable to be used as scouts to patrol the area. However, Su Wan felt that if she didn’t send someone out, she would be seen as unhelpful, especially since she was the captain.
After thinking about it for a while, Su Wan summoned Xu Yuan. The White Dragon Saint appeared along with him.
“Scammer Xu, what’s your opinion on the current situation?” she asked.
Su Wan saw that Xu Yuan wasn’t as unmotivated as before. Thus, she took advantage of this golden opportunity and asked him for his opinion.
However, there was no reply from him. The White Dragon Saint was eager to prove his usefulness. “Lord Dark Demon Dragon, I think we can use this chance to sow discord among the other schools.”
The White Dragon Saint smirked. His plan was simple. He wanted to drive a wedge between the other groups, so they fought each other. When they were done fighting, the number of enemies would greatly reduce. At that time, Su Wan and the others could take them down!
When the White Dragon Saint relayed his plan of action, he didn’t look at Su Wan. He directly talked to Xu Yuan. In his eyes, only Xu Yuan was his master, and he would do his all to give him a good show to partake in.
If it came to a fight, he knew that the Dark Demon Dragon could wipe them all out on his own. If Xu Yuan was not doing anything yet, it meant he was there to enjoy the show.
“Drive a wedge between them?” said Su Wan. “How do we do that?”
She frowned. The plan was simple and crude. It might be effective, but it was difficult to implement.
Just as Su Wan was deep in thought, a familiar person appeared in front of her.
Chen Ye!
In the selection round for the Star Academy, he competed with Su Wan for first place.
“A dissension spell…,” he said. “That is a great idea! It just so happens that I have a troop that is suitable for this tactic.”
Chen Ye summoned his troop.
“Red Mist Slime?” asked another Lord.
The other Lords were all very curious when they realized Chen Ye had summoned the Red Mist Slime.
Chen Ye wasn’t a new student. He was a senior! Everyone thought he wouldn’t have such a lowly troop type like the slimes.
Slimes were usually left behind when Lords progressed to a stronger level and chose other heroes.
Chen Ye chuckled when he saw the other Lords’ reaction. “This isn’t any ordinary slime. Of course, if you trace back to its roots, you will find that it evolved from slime, but this one is very useful.”
The slime-like creature looked at Xu Yuan.
“Transform!” ordered Chen Ye.
However, the creature trembled in fear. It didn’t dare transform into anything.
Chen Ye pointed at the White Dragon Saint and then to the Red Mist Slime. “Transform!”
“Chen Ye, you are just being silly,” said one of the Lords. “Don’t joke around.”
They still did not understand what Chen Ye planned.
At this moment, Chen Ye was a little taken aback. Finally, Chen Ye looked at another troop and pointed to a Tree-man.
“Transform!”
This time, the slime-like creature reacted. The creature emitted a white light and grew bigger. The outline of a tree was visible. When the light dissipated, the Red Mist Slime had turned into a Tree-man!
This Tree-man was exactly the same as the one Chen Ye had pointed to.
“Eh!” exclaimed one of the Lords. “Chen Ye, you still have some tricks up your sleeve!”
“Good fellow, you’re hiding your true strength?”
Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Even Su Wan was surprised. She looked at the creature a few times to make sure she wasn’t imagining things.
Chen Ye looked satisfied. “This is a special troop type I obtained. It’s also called the Everchanging Monster.”
The Everchanging Monster usually looked like a muddy slime. However, it had a powerful transformational ability and could change its appearance at will!
