My citizenship is at risk

Chapter 146: A complicated situation, the final winning group (Day 22 )

There are five rules in the five-way wrestling match.

The first three rules determine how to eliminate the other groups, while the last two rules impose further constraints on the five two-person teams.

Once the positions of the two-person wrestling teams are determined, they cannot be changed. If more than one group survives when the wrestling rack falls to the ground, all ten people will fail.

This means that each group must not only do its best to eliminate other groups, but also pay attention to the order of elimination.

Imagine what would happen if there were only two groups left and they were at two adjacent corners of the wrestling rack?
Because of the position of the center of gravity of the wrestling rack, their competition becomes extremely difficult. If they are not careful, the wrestling rack will fall to the ground, and they will lose the whole game.

To avoid this situation, the best elimination strategy for each group is obvious: prioritize eliminating the two groups adjacent to itself, and help the two groups not adjacent to itself when necessary.

这就是楚牧所在的2号组和5号组第一时间攻击3号组，与3号组不相邻的4号组出手阻止的缘由。

As Chu Mu made an interception, the face of the boy in Group 4 became gloomy. He wanted to make another move, but in the end he had no choice but to give up.

It's already too late.

The three source forces collided with each other in the corner where Group 3 was located in an instant. The turbulent waves of source force were transmitted along the wrestling rack to the hands of the two warriors in the Source Realm, making them show painful expressions.

"Clockwise!" Chu Mu shouted in a low voice, and he and Lin Siying exerted force at the same time, twisting the wrestling rack in a clockwise direction.

The faces of the boys in group No. 4 and the short-haired girl with glasses who had reacted quickly darkened, and at the same time they exerted force to twist counterclockwise, trying to stabilize the wrestling rack and temporarily save group No. 3 on the opposite diagonal.

However, the clockwise twisting force was much greater than expected.

"Oh!"

As the wrestling rack turned unexpectedly, one of the members of Group 3 who had been attacked groaned and let go of the grip with both hands at the same time. Although the other one only loosened one hand, it was too late.

"No. 3, eliminated."

The sound of Kaiyang Niu came at the right time.

The boys in Group 4 looked gloomily at Group 2 where Chu Mu was, then their gazes turned to Group 5, and finally fell on Group 1.

The reason why he failed to save Group 3 just now was because Group 2 and Group 5 twisted the wrestling rack clockwise at the same time. Two fists could not beat four hands. He and his partner tried their best, but it was still no use.

This result was caused because Group 1 was watching the show the entire time.

"Why didn't you two stop them?"

"Huh?" The muscular boy in the Soaring Realm in Group 1 looked at the boy in Group 4 as if he was a fool. "Why should I stop him?"

The boy in Group 4 suddenly calmed down and looked away.

It's confirmed, this is an idiot with muscles on his brain.

A strange look flashed across Chu Mu's eyes.

It was precisely because Group No. 1 did nothing in the first fight that he dared to take a gamble by shouting out the direction when rotating the wrestling rack.

Bet that Group 5 will cooperate and bet that Group 1 will not be able to react.

Now it seems that he made the right bet.

There was only one person in Group 1 who was at the Tengkong Realm, and that person seemed to have not yet realized what the key to this challenge was.

but…

Chu Mu's smile faded slightly.

This may not be a good thing for their group.

After successfully eliminating Group No. 3, their next target was Group No. 4, which was also adjacent to them.

At this moment, their ally became Group 1, and their opponent was Group 5, which was their ally just a second ago.

The situation took a turn for the worse.

Chu Mu winked at Lin Siying, and the two of them used their power to attack Group 4 at the same time. While activating the power, they deflected the force in their hands, driving the wrestling rack towards the edge of the lawn.

"You guys deal with number 1."

The boy in Group 4 groaned and slapped the wrestling rack. The purple source power rolled and swept towards Chu Mu's source power.

It was Chu Mu who took action just now to stop him from helping Group 3. At this moment, the two people's source power collided again, and they went all out when they attacked.

The short-haired girl with glasses stared at Lin Siying, and the cyan source power and the frost-white source power collided and fought on the wrestling rack.

She did not forget that before the challenge started, this girl refuted her proposal, which made her very embarrassed.

At this moment, let’s settle all the new and old grudges together!

On the other side, Group 2, which had just teamed up with Group 3 to eliminate Group 5, now turned its attention to Group 1.

"Hey, you're the next ones to be eliminated!" The tall and thin boy and his female partner attacked together, and two sources of power instantly swept towards Group No. 1.

There is only one person in the Tengkong Realm in Group 1, so it’s easy to eliminate them!
Once Group 1 follows in the footsteps of Group 3, the biggest winner on the scene will be Group 5 which eliminates the two adjacent groups!

"These little guys are really smart."

In the monitoring room, a gray-haired old man looked at the ongoing Kaiyang Cow Challenge and chuckled, "It's clearly a cow challenge that tests strength and unity, but they're playing it like a snake challenge."

"It's not their fault." Another middle-aged teacher shook his head and laughed, "How the challenge is conducted depends entirely on the rules."

"In the final analysis, it was the student who designed the challenge rules who was too cunning and designed the challenge like this." The middle-aged teacher paused, adding a hint of amusement, "After all, he is a member of Tianquan, so it's normal."

"Hmph, what do you think of us Tianquan people?" On the other side, the teacher from Tianquan Martial Arts University showed a bad look, "Those who only worship martial arts will not go far. Even if it is a challenge against cattle, people from Tianquan will join the essence of Tianquan."

Tianquan is the star of literature.

"Groups 2, 4, and 5 are all good. They know how to form alliances while wrestling. As for Group 1..." Teacher Tianquan Wuda shook his head, "They have bad luck and bad brains. I'm afraid they will be eliminated second!"

"Really?" The middle-aged teacher smiled. "Even if some logical reasoning elements are added, the core of the cattle challenge will not change."

"No matter how much you plan, in the end, strength will speak for itself."

As the middle-aged teacher finished speaking, the situation on the surveillance screen changed instantly.
-
"You two are worthy of eliminating me?!"

Following a low shout from the muscular boy in Group 1, the shadow of a mountain flashed behind him, and the rolling source of energy swept in like a huge wave, causing the expressions of everyone present to change.

A brown source of energy that was more powerful than the two people in Group 5 combined gushed out from the boy's hand, tearing the source energy of the tall and thin boy and his female partner into pieces like a torrent of dry wood, and then swept towards the two of them with the remaining force.

Chu Mu opened his mouth and looked surprised.

The level of concentration of this guy's source power is not what one can achieve when entering the realm of levitation for the first time.

The second or even third level of the Soaring Realm! Chu Mu quickly determined the strength of the boy in Group 1, and his expression became serious.

Unexpectedly, the members of Group 1 who are in the Tengkong realm are not very smart, but are so powerful.

"Should we eliminate 1 first?"

Lin Siying's eyes flickered and she spoke softly.

All strategies are based on the assumption that the strength of all parties is similar.

Although there is only one person in the Tengkong Realm in Group 1, the strength displayed by this person is enough to threaten any other group present.

Kick him out has become the highest priority action.

Seeing the brown source of energy rushing towards the two people in Group 5, Chu Mu's eyes flashed with a trace of struggle. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Eliminate 5!"

"what?!"

Lin Siying stood there in a daze as she watched Chu Mu's light blue source power combined with the brown source power of group 1 suddenly strangle group 5.

She gave Chu Mu a complicated look, then gritted her teeth and sent frost-white source power towards Group 4, temporarily blocking the two people in Group 4 by fighting one against two.

The expressions of the two people in Group 5 changed rapidly. The tall and thin boy couldn't help but look at Chu Mu and exclaimed, "Are you crazy?!"

"Goodbye!" Chu Mu shouted in a low voice, and while his source power was tearing apart the opponent's source power, he suddenly twisted the wrestling rack to one side.

Under the bombardment and twisting force of the source force, the veins on the back of the tall and thin boy's hands bulged, and he held on to the wrestling rack tightly. However, his female partner on the side was much weaker. After a scream, her hands lost strength and she flew backwards.

"No. 5, eliminated."

Kaiyang Niu crossed his arms across his chest, with a playful look in his eyes beneath his hood.

The development of things was more interesting than he expected.

“…Fuck.” The tall and thin boy cursed inwardly, let go and stepped aside.

As Group 5 was eliminated, the expressions of the two people in Group 4 changed drastically.

At this moment, there are only three groups left: No. 2, No. 4 and No. 1. These three groups are adjacent to each other on the wrestling rack, with No. 4 in the middle...

There is no doubt that Group 4, which has already lost two non-adjacent groups, will be the next target to be eliminated!
No, there is still a chance!

The eyes of the two people in Group 4 flashed at the same time.

The guy in Group 1 is very strong, but his brain is not very good.

He probably hasn't figured out the rules yet. If he can be tricked into attacking Team 2...

Just as the two were thinking of this, Chu Mu's sudden words made them feel like they were falling into an ice cellar.

"Brother of Group 1, I just helped you, now help me, how about we eliminate Group 4 together?" Chu Mu said with a smile.

"No problem!" The Tengkong Realm people of Group No. 1 laughed loudly, and the next moment the source power blasted towards Group No. 4.

Chu Mu and Lin Siying's source forces followed closely behind. Under the siege of three source forces, the two people in group 4 followed in the footsteps of groups 3 and 5 with gloomy faces.

No, this person is sick!

After leaving the wrestling ring, the two men in Group 4 stared at Chu Mu.

It was this guy. The three groups were supposed to work together to eliminate the huge threat No. 1, but he actually teamed up with No. 1 to eliminate the other two groups!
With only two groups, No. 1 and No. 2, left in the wrestling ring, the field suddenly became quiet.

"What should we do now?" Lin Siying lowered her voice and spoke with a confused expression.

This situation did not exist at all in the plan the two discussed before the challenge.

At this moment, Lin Siying felt like she was on a pirate ship.

From the moment Chu Mu cooperated with No. 1 to eliminate No. 5, the situation became completely chaotic.

"Do you know the principle of the wooden barrel?" Chu Mu smiled.

“It’s not the longest bar that determines how much water a barrel can hold, but the shortest bar.”

As he finished speaking, the Nayuan Realm warrior from Group 1 suddenly groaned, and countless bloody marks deep enough to see the bones appeared on his hands. His hands trembled and he couldn't help but loosen the handles that he had been holding tightly.

Looking at the wrestling ring that was always dark without any color, Lin Siying showed an expression of great astonishment.

When to use the source of power?
Chu Mu smiled but said nothing.

The source power was hidden without any trigger, and the source power was attacked by the source realm of Group 1. Naturally, the source power was completely concealed by the concealed source skills.

There is no need to tell Lin Siying about this.

Although the two are teammates, it is only temporary.

The challenge is over, but they are still competitors.

"No. 1, eliminated."

"Number 2 wins."

Kaiyang Niu walked towards the wrestling ring step by step, looking at Chu Mu with a look of interest and inquiry.

He casually counted out 32 seven-star tokens and handed them to Chu Mu and Lin Siying, then waved his hand, "The challenge is over, you can leave."

Chu Mu counted the 16 tokens he had received and was in a good mood.

10 tokens suddenly became 24.

Isn't this easier than robbing two unlucky guys?
Sure enough, the challenge is more interesting than the snatch.

"Chu Mu, thank you." Lin Siying said softly, put away her token, turned around and left, "I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"Goodbye." Chu Mu nodded, retracted his gaze, and looked at the muscular boy waiting for him beside him, "...What's the matter?"

"You bastard." The muscular boy in Group 1 realized what had happened belatedly, "You really fooled me around."

"All's fair in war. Thank you for giving in." Chu Mu smiled.

"My name is Song Yan, I'll remember you." The muscular boy snorted and looked at Chu Mu warily. "If we meet again, I will never be fooled by you again!"
