Chapter 1020 Eighty-seven. The prelude to the competition

   Mildred Hampley was only half right.

  The last faction arrived at Midnight City this morning. All camps in the Top Ten Tournament have been completely revealed: Giant Tree Academy, Five Knights Order, Noble Council, Khorne Rampage, Conspiracy Cobweb God, Midnight Lady Church, Blood Family Alliance, Old Sewer Front ; The two camps that have been added this year are the combined camp of the town of gods and the secret group of the gods.

  The former is known to Lu Li for a long time, and the latter is composed of the chosen sons of the Church of the Late Night City.

  The senior students later found Lu Li who had returned to the trunk level, and the rumors that he would participate in the Top Ten Tournament gradually spread.

The arrival of    Lu Li has made the atmosphere of the academy warmed up by the top ten competition even more boiling. They hope that this can cleanse the humiliation of the Giant Tree Academy, which has been counted down for several consecutive years as the organizer.

   "Want to know why the academy failed last time?" Leaving the dormitory, Claire crossed her arms: "Because I'm not in the senior year."

   "Tell me about the Lower School."

  Lu Li ignored Claire's boasting, although she did have such strength.

"It's no different. The upper class accepts humans like you and me, and the lower academy accommodates aliens, aliens, and even weirdos. As long as you identify with human identity. It must be admitted that the lower class students are generally stronger than the upper class. We didn't finish at the bottom because of the existence of the lower academy, but Don't trust them too much...it's not prejudice, they are mentally unstable because of the pollution. You can trust them, but never trust them."

   Lu Li was noncommittal.

  When a group has a non-cluster consciousness, there must be different individuals. Just as humans can have lunatics, they can also have wise people.

   Not long after Claire left, Lu Li went to the swamp, and came to the swamp cabin for the last time before the top ten competition.

  Seven monstrosities have accumulated in the pen, a little more than in previous weeks. Because of the competition, the controllers had to "supplement" Lu Li with nutrients.

   To solve the seven monsters, stop for a moment to understand the competition, Lu Li returned to the Giant Tree Academy.

   After consuming and redeeming Blitz Thiel, Lu Li still had 34 copies of his humanity.

the next day.

   There is only one day left until the top ten tournament starts.

  The atmosphere of the tree trunk layer became more and more intense. I heard that the duel arena was crowded with spectators and players, and the cheers that were raised every time the results were announced were even faintly heard on the ground.

  Lu Li came to the alchemy office at Claire's invitation. Deputy Head Chris is still not here.

   "These are what Mother prepared for us."

  Alchemy products and alchemy potions are stacked on the alchemy table. Claire told Lu Li how to use it.

   A compass that will not be affected under any circumstances. After being sprinkled, it will present a 5-mile terrain exploration potion, a high-end version of the visible potion, and a sleeping bag that combines the effects of red copper and alchemy blankets.

   These props prepared by Vice President Chris seem to vaguely reveal the tournament system.

  At noon, the gatekeeper led the participating students who received the invitation to gather in the auditorium.

   Lu Li sat behind, but no matter where, Lu Li, who was shrouded in the halo, was the focus.

  The surrounding students are watching, Lu Li had contacted on the alchemy tower, and the first professor of mysticism at Giant Tree Academy, Ernie Hamilton Wayne, nodded to him.

   This gathering is to decide the leader of the upper academy.

  Lu Li is undoubtedly the best candidate. But he rejected this identity. Professor Ernie Hamilton Wayne did not force it and handed over the team leader to Jurgen Wright.

   Jurgen Wright himself is the leader of the senior class, and his slum origin and identification with human identity are enough to be trusted. Without Lu Li, he would naturally be the team leader of this tournament.

   But everyone knew that the upper academy had another leader: Lu Li.

   The meaning of setting the leader identity is to make the students obey its instructions, and Lu Li can do it without this identity.

   "The Uncrowned King..."

   Leaning against the wall, Claire whispered with her fingernails.

   Then Ernie Hamilton Wayne told about the details and dangers of the competition that Lu Li already knew.

After   , Lu Li followed Claire back to the alchemy office, his mind was still recalling the number Ernie Hamilton Wayne told: 582 players.

   This is only the upper academy of the Giant Tree Academy.

The number of    is not uncommon, and the contestants of the upper-level colleges in previous years are similar. What Lu Li cared about was another series of numbers—more than one-third of the students died in the competition every year.

   "I can't understand the act of drawing human power into competition." Lu Li said calmly.

   "Well, Professor Ernie Hamilton Wayne is lying to you. The death toll is not that many, in fact..." Claire hesitated: "Professor just wants us to be vigilant and not careless."

  What information does Claire seem to be hiding, some truth that has been masked and tampered with?

   She didn't confess, and Lu Li didn't ask any further questions. In any case, the answer will be revealed tomorrow.

   also revealed the mysterious lower academy, as well as the other nine factions.

   Tonight will be a sleepless night for many students.

  …

  The long night fades away, and the sleeping Giant Tree Academy is awakened in the morning.

  After washing up, Lu Li walked out of the washbasin, went back to the bedroom, checked the doomsday apocalypse book, stomach bag, and psychic gun, and pushed the door to the elevator in the mixing area.

  The senior students gathered one after another, and Lu Li looked around the team and found Kiruat and Margaret standing on the edge.

   "It's our turn."

  Claire whispered beside him, Lu Li retracted his gaze and stepped on the elevator.

   The continuous dark descent ended, and the dim light entered the elevator.

   Overlooking the vast swamp, the safety area below is empty with black spots.

   The dean who I have never met is not there, the vice dean Chris is not there, the leaders of the nine factions are not there, and neither are the players of the nine factions.

   Not even the lower academies are here.

   Tranquility and crowding were eerily mixed, and descended upon the brooding eyes of the Giant Tree Academy students.

  Lulli saw many familiar faces on the ground. Mysticism instructor Ernie Hamilton Wayne and Helmud, Divination instructor Undead, Combat Skills instructor Mangshilei, Mentemis under the veil-like gray robe, foiling himself with dignity Professor Gray, and many more professors and mentors who have yet to meet.

   "It was like this before?" Lu Li tilted his head and asked Claire beside him.

"Do not……"

The    lift descended in the swamp safety area, and Jurgen Wright led the team off the lift.

   "Step into the fog, and you will be randomly teleported to the depths of the vast swamp. The faster you find the exit to the next stage, the higher the score."

  Ernie Hamilton Wayne stepped forward and shouted, pointing to the permeating gray fog as the students approached.

   "Defeat other players will add points..."

   Ernie Hamilton Wayne's cry followed Lu Li's step into the surging fog, barely audible.

  The students were lost in the mist of confusion.
