Chapter 560: Ningdong Team’s Shortcomings
Luo Jun picked up the tablet and started moving his fingers rapidly across the screen. Then all the audience saw the squares on the big screen begin to flip open one by one. Every pair of patterns that flipped open matched up, and none of them could be turned back.

As for the scoreboard on the side, it was also constantly jumping, and soon jumped from the original negative one thousand points to negative nine hundred, eight hundred, seven hundred...

Originally everyone was in the mood to laugh at the joke. There were more than 10,000 squares. Even if Luo Jun had a great memory and could remember everything he saw, one minute was not enough to look at all the patterns.

What's more, this thing cannot be simply memorized in order. In a limited time, to remember one, you have to look for the corresponding one in the whole map. An ordinary person is considered a genius if he can remember a pair of positions in one second. Even if a cultivator has stronger mental strength and insight, he can only remember ten pairs in one second, which is only about 600 pairs of patterns, and the best he can get is 600 points.

But now, Luo Jun's speed of flipping the cards has not slowed down at all, and there have been no mistakes. The score has continued to rise at a steady rate and has soon reached negative five hundred points!

Including the points deducted previously, he has already accurately turned over more than six hundred pairs of cards!
And the scores are still rising!

Negative four hundred points, negative three hundred points, negative two hundred points... positive!
The more than one thousand points that Luo Jun had lost were actually eliminated, and now every point is positive!
Almost at the moment the score returned to normal, Luo Jun's score on the scoreboard surpassed Ouyang Yu, and then quickly surpassed the other three people, and then it did not stop and continued to rise!
One hundred points... two hundred points... three hundred points... As the score rose, the signs on the big screen kept turning over, and more and more patterns were lit up. Moreover, there seemed to be no regularity in the order in which they were lit up. On the huge screen, a piece of light appeared here and there, completely according to the mood.

This also sent a signal that Luo Jun's memory was not confined to a certain area, nor was it even in a specific order... Could it be that he really memorized all the more than 10,000 blocks on the screen?

The expressions of the audience changed from doubt in the beginning, to surprise later, and finally to numbness. They just stared blankly at the ever-expanding lighting range and the ever-rising scores.

Finally, after more than half an hour, all the patterns on the screen were turned over, and Luo Jun's score was finally frozen.

五人的最终成绩，38：27：29：5980：3。

There is no doubt that Luo Jun won this final round with an overwhelming advantage!

After a few seconds of silence from the audience, sporadic clapping began, led by someone unknown, and eventually became more and more, turning into continuous applause.

The judges looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

They have seen people with photographic memories, and there are also many people with keen insight. However, to quickly remember the positions of 14,400 patterns in just one minute, and to select them one by one without error, this is not only a matter of memory or observation, but the speed of information processing is the most critical!
What kind of brain does this kid have?
Luo Jun returned to the contestant area with a relaxed look on his face. His teammates came up to him and said, "That's amazing! How did you do that?"

"What a strong memory you have! There are more than 10,000 grids, and I haven't even finished reading the first line yet. How can you remember them all?"

"With such fast hand speed, it took more than half an hour to flip the cards. How did you remember one minute?"

"No wonder you can walk out of the endless maze. What's wrong with your head..."

Facing everyone's praise, Luo Jun could only wave his hands in a showy manner: "Hey, keep a low profile..."

Memorizing more than 10,000 patterns in 60 seconds is indeed an impossible task for other people, but Luo Jun's mental strength and perception are 70 to 80 times that of ordinary people. Coupled with the enhancement of the Nine-Level Body Tempering Technique, his memory, insight and reaction speed far exceed those of ordinary people. It is pure attribute crushing.

To be on the safe side, he even used a little trick and activated the secret dice while watching the picture.

I didn't use dice rolling to help with memory, I just judged a small event and took advantage of the time-slowing effect brought by the dice to extend the memory time.

In any case, Luo Jun's victory became the most eye-catching performance in the two-day competition. Regardless of his ranking, Luo Jun left a deep impression on the judges. This also further confirmed Luo Jun's characteristics of being good at spirit and brain power.

With the end of the Connect the Dots event, the final scores of the competition phase were also announced. Ningdong College was originally ranked third, but because of Luo Jun's outstanding performance, it surpassed Tianjing University and ranked second, second only to the host Puhuashan College.

To celebrate their good results, everyone went to the school store to buy some delicious food in the evening and had a party in the house they were staying in. Even Yu Qiudi, who was always sleepy, forced himself to join in the fun.

"This is the best start in recent years." Old Miaomiao raised his glass and said with a smile: "In the last and the year before that, Ningdong ranked third in the competitive stage. I heard from the seniors that he was even fourth or fifth before that."

Xiao Tian also nodded and smiled: "I remember that last year, we ranked fourth... Well, now that I think about it, this year, last year's seniors have graduated, and the new seniors are all a bunch of losers. The masters from other colleges are all here, and there is fresh blood. I thought we were going to fight the wolves. Unexpectedly, we got off to a good start!"

"Don't be too happy too soon." Lu Fei said: "There are three stages. The score of the competitive stage only accounts for 20%. The last two stages are the key to determining the final results!"

"The second stage is a battle, right?" Zhai Xixi, who was also attending an exchange meeting for the first time, asked curiously.

"Based on past experience, there are two rounds of round-robin matches," said Lao Miaomiao. "The first round is a one-on-one duel, with seven people on each team, and the final result is a best-of-seven match. The second round is a team battle, with seven people playing together. Usually, the two rounds of round-robin matches will last four or five days. In addition to calculating the score based on the wins, the winners will also be determined based on the time of victory and the small duel. The score at this stage accounts for 30%."

"In a round-robin tournament, we have to play one match against each team." Lei Tianyang clenched his fists, eager for the upcoming battle.

"Come to think of it, during those years when Mr. Yu was competing, Ning Dong was number one, right?" Luo Jun still remembered the video footage he had watched before, and asked Yu Qiudi, "And you have maintained a perfect record in singles duels, do you have any tips?"

"The trick?" Yu Qiudi thought for a moment while holding his beer. "If I'm strong enough, I can just pick my opponents better, right?"

"Is it that simple?" everyone was surprised.

"I think you have a good chance of winning this year." Yu Qiudi smiled, "At least when I was Ling Xin's age, I was probably no match for her. If Miaomiao's abilities weren't too special to be used in the competition, she would be no weaker than me in terms of basic skills and talent. Lu Fei and Xiao Tian, ​​both martial artists, are no worse than my teammates back then. Zhai Xixi's illusions are very powerful, and can be very effective if used well. Lei Tianyang's progress is also amazing, and with his natural abilities, he's also a top-notch player... In terms of overall strength, you're stronger than my class back then."

After listening to Yu Qiudi's analysis, the crowd felt more moved than their confidence. They had thought that this confused mentor only knew how to sleep all day, but they didn't expect that he paid much attention to them, the students.

"What about me?" Luo Jun pointed at himself. Yu Qiudi had not mentioned him just now. Yu Qiudi looked at him and shook his head in confusion: "You... I don't quite understand."

"Ah?" Luo Jun was stunned by what she said: "What does this mean? Do I look so abstract?"

Yu Qiudi tilted his head, his listless eyes faintly revealing a sense of scrutiny: "On paper, you should be the weakest... But these days, I always have a feeling that the strength you show is not all... What are you hiding?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Luo Jun.

Honestly, Yu Qiudi wasn't the only one who felt this way. Everyone had been tortured enough by the training these days. Although Luo Jun also acted very painful and tired, it was still different from real fatigue. After spending a long time together, everyone still had a vague feeling that this kid seemed to be able to handle it with ease...

"Have you been discovered?" Luo Jun scratched his head a little embarrassedly. Hearing him say that, Ling Xin's eyes twitched slightly.

"I did hide a little bit of my strength." Luo Jun laughed and said, "It's mainly because your training, Teacher Yu, is too hellish. I'm a little smart, but I don't have much perseverance. If I really train to the limit, I'm afraid I won't be able to persist."

"How much contraband have you hidden?" Lu Fei put his arm around Luo Jun's neck and put his other hand on his forehead: "Tell the truth!"

"There is nothing hidden in my realm, and it's even a little exaggerated..." Luo Jun begged for mercy: "But I do have some powerful treasures in my hands. I occasionally use them to slack off during training these days..."

"Just occasionally?" Yu Qiudi's lazy eyes became sharper.

"Um... often?" Luo Jun quickly admitted his mistake: "It's my fault. I shouldn't be lazy. I hope Teacher Yu will forgive me."

"We're already here. What's the point of accusing you of cheating? Should we even ask your parents to come..." As soon as Yu Qiudi said this, he immediately remembered Luo Jun's identity as an orphan. He realized that he had said something wrong and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry..."

"Hahaha..." Unexpectedly, Luo Jun suddenly laughed and said, "If you can really find my parents, I have to thank Teacher Yu..." This eased Yu Qiudi's embarrassment.

"Noble Phantasm?" Old Miaomiao analyzed, "You can cheat during training, but you are not allowed to use Noble Phantasms during the battle. There are also detection methods on site. Wouldn't that make you useless?"

"Isn't he an elementalist?" Zhai Xixi said, "And he doesn't have multiple elemental talents, so even if he doesn't use a treasure, he won't be that far behind."

"He is a jack of all trades, but not good at anything." Xiao Tian pouted and said, "He only has a few moves for one element. He looks fancy, but he can't take advantage if he really meets an expert. He barely made it through the selection. If Chao Tianxiang didn't have a psychological shadow on you, and heard that you came back and voluntarily withdrew from the competition, he should have been the player you replaced."

"It seems that Luo Jun is our weak point." Lei Tianyang analyzed while looking at Luo Jun.

"It doesn't matter." Ling Xin shook her head and said, "As long as it's not his turn to play."

"I say...why do I feel like I'm being looked down upon..." Luo Jun said with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"Hey, look, the schedule for tomorrow's games has been confirmed in the group." Zhai Xixi suddenly said, "There are four games in total tomorrow, two in the morning and two in the afternoon. We are scheduled in the afternoon."

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly took out their phones and looked at the messages in the exchange meeting group.

The first game in the morning is between Tianjing and Guanxi, and the second game is between Puhuashan and Dongchuan. The first game in the afternoon is between Tianjing and Ningdong, and the second game is between Guanxi and Puhuashan.

"We're lucky. We only got one match." Old Miaomiao analyzed, "But we're facing Tianjing, who is a strong opponent."

In the first stage of the competition, Puhuashan College, which ranked first, had a bit of home advantage. Originally, before the last match, Tianjing University was the second place, suppressing Ningdong College, which ranked third. If it weren't for Luo Jun winning the first place in the match, and causing Ouyang Yu to fall to the last place, he would have surpassed with a slight advantage.

It can be said that if Luo Jun had not performed well in the last round, Tianjing University would have been the second place after Puhuashan. Previously, the projects in which Tianjing University had achieved good rankings were of relatively high quality. Judging from their performance in the competition, the quality of their players is quite strong!
"Among the seven people, at least four must win." Lu Fei analyzed: "Ling Xin should be able to win once. Apart from Xixi and Luo Jun, the others should also be able to win against Ouyang Yu. As for the others, it's hard to say."

"It would be great if we could know the order in which the other side would send their men." Old Miaomiao analyzed, "We can use Tian Ji's horse racing to defeat the strong with the weak!"

According to the rules, the order of appearance in a single challenge is determined in advance, and both parties must send people strictly in the order submitted previously, and no temporary changes can be made.

"About this... maybe I can find a way to know their order of appearance in advance." Zhai Xixi raised her hand.

"How do you know this?" Lu Fei's eyes lit up: "Do you have a divination tool?"

"It's not me, it's my master!" Zhai Xixi said with a smile, "Wait for me to make a call."

Having said that, Zhai Xixi left.

"Who is her master?" Luo Jun asked curiously. He noticed that when Zhai Xixi said she wanted to call her master, the expressions on everyone's faces became as if it was a matter of course.

"I don't know." The others also shook their heads. Lu Fei said, "I only heard vaguely about him. He seems to be a very important figure."

While everyone was discussing, Zhai Xixi had already returned: "Bring me a pen and paper. I already have the order for the other side to appear."
