Chapter 564 What does it mean to be hidden?

Over the next two days, six more games were played.

Because they could no longer predict the order in which their opponents would appear, in the following games, the Ningdong team tried to choose a relatively safe order, placing Ling Xin in the middle as the fourth player to appear. This way, even if they lost the first three games, Ling Xin would still be able to pull off a win and not lose too badly.

And Luo Jun was placed last.

The reason for doing this is to maintain Luo Jun's sense of mystery. He has been very famous recently, and he has memorized the locations of more than 10,000 patterns before, and made Xue Lan surrender without bloodshed. These two performances have made all opponents have a strong and mysterious filter for him.

The presence of a man who is known to be very strong but whose strength is unknown and whose all information is a mystery creates invisible pressure on all opponents.

No matter what the previous score is, the opponent will always be wary of the thought that this mysterious strong man has not yet appeared. As long as there are one or two small mistakes, it will be considered a gain for the Ningdong team.

But this also led to Luo Jun not playing in the next three rounds. In two of the rounds, Ningdong won 4-2 in the sixth game. In the remaining round, Ningdong played against Pu Huashan. Because the opponent was really strong and the order of playing was just restrained by the opponent, they lost 1-4 in the fifth game.

Lao Miaomiao even suspected that the other party had figured out the order of appearance here!
It can only be said that the way of heaven is reincarnation, who will the sky spare!

In the end, in the individual battle stage, Ningdong and Tianjing both achieved three wins and one loss, but in terms of small scores, Ningdong was slightly inferior, and in the end, Tianjing won the championship in this stage.

In the comprehensive competition stage and the individual battle stage, the Tianjin team is currently ranked first, while Pu Huashan and Ning Dong are tied for second place.

Next, after another day of rest, the exchange meeting entered the next stage, which was the team competition.

It was still a round-robin tournament with five teams, but it changed from a one-on-one match to a group match. However, according to the announcement posted in the group, the rules of this year's team competition had been changed.

First of all, the number of players on the field has changed from all seven players in previous years to five players selected from seven players. Just like in single-player battles, the list of players is also decided before the game starts. In this way, everyone has to choose the players to play for different opponents.

Secondly, unlike previous years, where victory or defeat was determined by one side completely losing its ability to fight or conceding defeat, this year's rules include an additional mission objective.

Before each game, a random mission goal is drawn. For example, each team is given an item and the goal is to protect it. As long as the item is destroyed, it is considered a failure. Another example is that each team designates a person as the leader. As long as the leader is defeated or captured, it is considered a failure, and so on and so forth...

These random mission objectives add a lot of uncertainty to the competition and place higher demands on the players' ability to respond and complete tasks.

Under such rules, the five teams engaged in a fierce battle. Different tasks produced various unexpected effects, which not only made the battle more intense, but also greatly increased the watchability.

By the way, due to the limit on the number of players, Luo Jun had to be benched. The five players on the court were occasionally replaced, but he was always on standby off the court.

This is not just because everyone is taking care of him, but also because Luo Jun asked for it himself. The apparent reason is that he doesn't want to hold everyone back, but in reality he is afraid that his incompetence will be exposed.

As for the gains from the exchange meeting? How much can you gain from playing house with a group of students who haven't graduated yet? If it weren't for the quota for the Tianyuan Conference, Luo Jun wouldn't even sign up for the exchange meeting!

On the other hand, the other teams were also stunned by Ning Dong's tricky moves. They made a lot of plans for Luo Jun, a variable, but he didn't play in the end...

Then the next team thought that since they didn’t make it last time, they should make it this time, right? So they worked harder to analyze, hold meetings, and train, spending a lot of energy, but in the end, they found that they were still fighting against the air...

In this way, until the end of the team competition, no one had ever actually seen Luo Jun fight. His mystery also aroused the interest of more people.

After all the team competitions were over, the rankings of the five teams changed again.

The first place is still Tianjing University, the second place is Ningdong, the third place is Puhuashan College, the fourth place is Kansai University, and the fifth place is Dongchuan College.

Although the rankings vary, the scores of each delegation are very close, and the final alien world practice stage, which accounts for the largest proportion, has not yet begun. The final score ranking may undergo drastic changes.

As the name suggests, the alien world practice requires the contestants to go to an alien world to complete a certain task. This process is almost the same as the work of a real explorer, and naturally there are not so many rules and constraints. In many situations, even the academy and the Yuanxiu Association cannot guarantee that they are completely under control. Therefore, the official exchange meeting told the students in advance that this time there may be life-threatening situations, and if they are afraid, they can choose to quit.

Since everyone had chosen to attend the exchange meeting, they were naturally prepared for the possible dangers, so naturally no one withdrew. Moreover, everyone knew that the option of withdrawing was actually a test. If there was no legitimate reason, and the student simply chose to withdraw out of fear, the school and even the Yuanxiu Association would label the student as useless, and there would be no future development for him.

There was still one day left before the [Supernatural] Gate opened, so the organizers gathered the students from each team together and held a party in the college cafeteria.

"Tomorrow, the gate to the [Supernatural] will open. At that time, the delegations from the five schools will pass through the gate to the other world and go to the [Supernatural] to carry out their final mission." Before the banquet began, the representative of the Yuan Xiu Association, who served as the judges, went on stage to give a speech.

"Many of the students present here must have participated in internships in other worlds, and they also know the dangers of carrying out missions in other worlds. For this final exchange mission, the competition is only a secondary purpose. The main purpose is to help everyone adapt to the atmosphere of the other world in advance. I can tell you in advance that this mission requires the cooperation of five teams to complete. Therefore, today's banquet, in addition to helping everyone relax and relieve stress, also hopes that everyone can communicate more and enhance their relationships!"

"Although you are competitors now, starting from tomorrow and in the distant future, you will all be fellow explorers fighting side by side, fighting together for the peace and prosperity of the main world!"

Although it was called a party, there was actually no program prepared. The college just provided enough food and drinks, board game props, entertainment facilities, etc. It looked more like a team-building party. Thirty-five contestants and team leaders from each college all participated in it.

After all, they were all young people, and at first, everyone was a little reserved, and even had some hostility towards each other because of the competitions in the previous two days, but after a few drinks, the atmosphere became lively. The boys toasted each other and talked about everything; the girls studied clothing and accessories, and sent shopping links to each other... and many people took this opportunity to approach their favorite opposite-sex students from other schools.

Of course, as practitioners, what they discussed most was the competition a few days ago.

Through frank communication, many games that were lost inexplicably were reviewed, and many seemingly inexplicable operations were analyzed. In addition to sudden enlightenment, everyone also learned a lot of lessons... The purpose of the so-called exchange meeting seemed to be explained at this moment.

As for Luo Jun, he naturally became the focus of "interrogation". Students from other colleges were curious about his mystery. After two rounds of competition, apart from his amazing memory, they didn't see any real ability of this guy. This was a good opportunity to find out more about him.

Faced with countless questions, Luo Jun accepted them all. "My ability? Let me tell you, right now, no one needs to use my ability more than me... If I use it, it will shock the world and make the gods weep!"

"What? You ask me why I don't use it? I just said a few words and Xue Lan surrendered. What other abilities do I need?"

"Who said I dare not use my incomplete abilities? Don't tell me, you actually guessed it right. My current abilities are not yet complete, so I can only deal with ordinary masters. I am afraid that I will lose control and hurt you. If I really complete them, I will be at the peak of my punches and kicks, and I will not care about any exchange meetings!"

…………

After listening to Luo Jun's nonsense, the contestants who came to inquire about the news realized that this guy was very cunning and it would be extremely difficult to get useful information from him, so they all lost interest in him.

Luo Jun was also happy to be free. He was eating delicious food and browsing his phone by himself in a corner, feeling very comfortable.

The Five Schools Exchange Meeting is a major event in the Aurora cultivation circle. Not only will the organizers broadcast live and release exciting videos, but even the audience will record and take photos and post them. In the past few days, the exchange meeting can be said to be the most discussed topic in the forum.

Among them, the most praised ones are definitely the star players from each academy. In the world of cultivators, what everyone cares about most is the strength of individual martial arts. Those geniuses who have strong strength at a young age are naturally the objects of everyone's admiration and discussion.

For example, Ling Xin and Xue Lan, super geniuses who are much stronger than their peers, are naturally the focus of netizens. For example, Chen Fei, Lei Tianyang, Zhuge Lan, and Zhuge Zi, geniuses with the aura of a big family, are also highly discussed. As for others, those who are quite famous or have outstanding performances in the exchange meeting will also take this opportunity to become famous and gain countless fans.

However, there are also people who do the opposite, such as Luo Jun.

When the list of participants for the exchange meeting was made public, many people noticed Luo Jun's name. This guy had just made a big news not long ago, appearing out of nowhere with the halo of being the first person in the world to complete an unsolvable task. Many people were looking forward to his performance at the exchange meeting, wanting to see what this newly rising super genius had in his hands.

But what was the result? In the eight days of competition, this guy played twice. The first time, he only showed his extraordinary memory, which was amazing, but not very satisfying. As for the second time, it was even worse. In a single challenge between cultivators, this guy actually won by talking nonsense?

As a result, the forum was full of debates about Luo Jun's true abilities. Some thought he was a hidden talent, while others thought he was just pretending and had no real skills...

Luo Jun himself was eating melon seeds and watching the melons online, enjoying himself.

At this time, two glasses of juice were placed on the table in front of him. Luo Jun looked up and found that they were Zhuge Zi and Sun Xiaowei.

"Oh, you two beauties are so free?" Luo Jun said with some surprise.

Sun Xiaowei and Zhuge Zi were both first-rate in both ability and appearance, so they were naturally very popular. Several boys came to chat with them and asked for their contact information, and the two girls were very busy.

"You don't have to mock us." Sun Xiaowei said with a smile: "Your popularity is even greater than ours."

"How are they the same?" Luo Jun laughed, "Those who are pestering you are attracted by your charm, and those who are pestering me are all here to get information... There are even several people who came to me to get information about you after being rejected by you, saving the country in a roundabout way."

"Stop talking nonsense." Sun Xiaowei said unhappily, "What are you thinking? You didn't show off your skills in the first few rounds. Are you planning to show off your skills in the alien world mission?"

"Then you'd better be careful." Zhuge Zi reminded: "On the surface, [Supernatural] looks much more normal than [Martial Arts], but in fact, the hidden dangers are no less, and may even be more deadly."

"You think too much." Luo Jun explained with a smile: "I don't have anything to show off. You have been in the maze with me for so long, don't you understand? I am good at giving advice, but when there is a fight, I always hide behind it."

"We all saw the first few dozen days." Sun Xiaowei pouted and said, "But who knows how you managed to survive the last three hundred days?"

"Don't worry." Luo Jun smiled and said, "I'm not as brave as you think. If there is real danger, I will definitely be the first to run away. There are so many masters here, how can I take action?"

"Speaking of masters, the girl from the Ling family in your team seems to care about you very much." Zhuge Zi said, "She traveled thousands of miles to Yuandu to save you."

"Ling Xin?" Luo Jun said with a smile, "She and I were classmates in high school."

"Just classmates?" Zhuge Zi looked at Luo Jun: "I don't think so. She has gone to find Xue Lan." As she spoke, she pointed to another table in the distance.

Luo Jun looked in the direction of her finger and found that Xue Lan and Ling Xin were sitting at the same table. There was no one else sitting at that table. Everyone instinctively avoided it, and even if they were there to watch the fun, they stayed two meters away.

"It seems like the Golden Witch and the Ice Princess are at odds with each other." Sun Xiaowei whispered, "When you played the team match with Tianjing, it was almost an individual match between these two. It was a fierce fight... I felt at the time that there was some personal emotion involved."

As she spoke, Sun Xiaowei glanced at Luo Jun and said, "What is your relationship with them? It's not really a love dispute, is it?"

"Uh..." Luo Jun looked at Zhuge Zi and Sun Xiaowei who were gossiping, and snorted coldly: "Then you two better stay away from me."

"We are different..." Sun Xiaowei waved her hand: "We are comrades who have experienced life and death together..."

Before she finished her words, Sun Xiaowei suddenly shuddered. She felt two tangible murderous auras coming. She turned around and found that Ling Xin and Xue Lan were looking at her with unfriendly eyes.

As for Zhuge Zi, this guy had already dodged away...

"You're not loyal enough. Where are we as sisters?" Sun Xiaowei cursed and stepped aside obediently...
