Chapter 1991 - Accident
Chapter 1991: Accident
No one could beat Apex Academy’s luck!
Could this be progressing toward a third round bye?
This luck made people… too envious!
Needless to say, Apex Academy’s luck attracted even those big academies’ attention.
Especially when one of the students from Apex Academy summoned a sacred beast during the prior match.
Ah, that’s not right. That little lady seemed to have two particularly terrifying beasts.
The white snake that suddenly appeared also emanated a heavy pressure. Even though they were temporarily unable to make out the beast’s level, they sensed that the pressure it gave them was not any less than what they felt from the bloodfire phoenix.
It was probably going to be a tall order to defeat Apex Academy since there was someone like that in the team.
When everybody came to this conclusion, they could not help but be dejected.
Even if the people from River Horse Academy came, they would probably also be swept off the stage in minutes.
“Alright, time is up. Take down the incense. Right now, I announce that due to River Horse Academy’s untimely forfeit of the match, Apex Academy will hence successfully advance to the…”
...
“Wait!” Someone interrupted Hong Chi.
Everybody turned to look, and they couldn’t help but turn boisterous.
They saw Sha Gua leading over the group of students from River Horse Academy. They kept their gazes lowered as they walked over with large strides.
“Something happened on our way here that delayed our arrival!” Sha Gua explained nonchalantly. He glanced at the gradually dimming incense out of the corner of his eye. “Luckily, we could make it at the last second.”
The atmosphere in the seating area was instantly set ablaze. Everybody was smacking their chairs and cheering.
River Horse Academy’s courage for not fearing the competition was simply commendable!
Everybody clapped their hands and cheered.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the arena reached a boiling point.
“Good!” Everybody clapped with all their might, expectantly awaiting their entertaining battle.
Of course, most of the academies were more interested in observing Apex Academy’s battle strategy so as to counter them effectively when they were matched in the future.
Sha Gua led the River Horse Academy team up onto stage. Every one of them was hanging their heads, refusing to look at Qiao Mu and company.
Qi Xuanxuan knitted her brows.
Because they had worked together to the end when they were trapped in the underground base, they had mostly let bygones be bygones with the people from River Horse Academy and Sunlight Academy. Their impression of Sha Gua’s group had also improved quite a lot.
Yet upon meeting them again on stage now, Sha Gua’s group didn’t even give a greeting. The fact that Sha Gua’s group didn’t even look at them made it feel like they were looking down on them. This pissed off the little fatty and the others.
“Okay!” The head referee Hong Chi announced with a hearty laugh, “Even though River Horse Academy was late, they got here just as the extended time limit ran out. I’ll cut out the long-winded talk. Your teams can start battling now!”
After Hong Chi turned and left, Sha Gua suddenly gestured to this team with a look, and ten members simultaneously attacked. Their mystic energy and spiritual energy wove into a net that rushed toward Qiao Mu and company.
After going through so many team battles, Qiao Mu’s group had ample experience in team formations.
The eight of them swiftly took their positions.
