After Turning Into A Little Skeleton, I Got Contracted By A Goddess

One Versus a Hundred?

Every single student was delirious with excitement for the upcoming team competition.

They didn't expect that the Academy would make such a decision just because of one student, but at the same time, the exception seemed reasonable enough for them.

Compared to the other students, Yan Wuyue and her summoned spirit are simply on another level, no matter in the mystic realm or in the individual competition.

If the rules remained the same, Yan Wuyue would probably easily steamroll everyone else in the team competition again.

Although the notification wasn't sent to Yan Wuyue's team, Zhao Anqi had many lackeys who were more than willing to share their information with her.

Merely three seconds after the other candidates received the notification, Zhao Anqi received the relayed message from one of her lackeys.

"Oh my god, the Academy is f*cked up. This is a next level of manipulation!"

Zhao Anqi cursed under her breath and quickly forwarded the message to the group. However, she received no reply.

"Zhou Mingrui!"

In the dormitory, after reading the forwarded message, Yan Wuyue called out to Zhou Mingrui, who had just woken up from his nap.

"What's the matter? It's too early in the morning to be making a fuss..." Zhou Mingrui rubbed his eyes as he groggily walked down the stairs.

"It's almost afternoon, I can't believe you call this early. You must be confused from sleeping too much!" Yan Wuyue was infuriated at Zhou Mingrui's laziness.

"I'm just conserving my energy for the competition tomorrow. What's wrong with sleeping a little more?" Zhou Mingrui yawned as he walked towards Yan Wuyue.

"See for yourself!"

Yan Wuyue begrudgingly smacked her phone onto his hand.

Zhou Mingrui took a lazy glance at the screen and immediately perked up.

"Is there something wrong with the organizers' brains? They don't have to target us this severely. They are literally making us the public enemy of the entire cohort!" Zhou Mingrui complained.

"Honestly, I think this is quite reasonable." Yan Wuyue, on the other hand, was very calm about the situation.

"No way, you call this reasonable?" Zhou Mingrui was taken aback. "They might as well make us fight everyone altogether."

"Actually, this was what I thought might happen at first. But after some thought, I assumed that they still had some decency, so I didn't say anything."

Yan Wuyue took a sip of her coffee. She couldn't help but smirk at Zhou Mingrui's exasperated expression.

"How could you still laugh? What are we going to do about our plan now?" Zhou Mingrui sat down across from Yan Wuyue and poured himself a glass of water.

"Plans can never keep up with changes. So, we should just change our plan." Yan Wuyue said casually.

Zhou Mingrui let out a little sigh. To be honest, he wasn't afraid of being targeted at all. He was simply unhappy about the unjustness shown by the Academy.

"Alright, since you already have a plan in mind, I won't make any more comments. We'll have to fight people anyway." Zhou Mingrui put his arms over his head. Laying on the sofa made him feel like dozing off again.

"By the way, don't be too surprised if the Academy decides to change the competition rules at the last minute," Yan Wuyue warned as she put down her teacup.

"As long as we don't have to fight everyone at the same time, how bad can it be?" Zhou Mingrui dismissed.

"They won't make us do it directly, but there are always ways to allow it indirectly. For example..."

...

"Damn, you were right!"

"They really want us to take on everyone at one go!"

After listening to the referee's briefing, Zhou Mingrui was appalled. However, he quickly recovered his composure.

The arrangement of the team competition had changed. The first round had become a free-for-all elimination brawl.

Anybody left in the ring after the fifteenth minute mark would qualify for the next round.

"As expected from the Academy. Don't mind it too much." Yan Wuyue patted Zhou Mingrui's shoulder and said calmly.

"Wow, I'm really impressed that you can still keep your composure in this situatio," Zhao Anqi commented, amazed at Yan Wuyue's calmness.

Although the team competition didn't include as many candidates as the individual competition, there were still more than 800 of them.

Not counting their summoned spirits, three of them would have to face nearly three hundred people each.

"Well, we'll have to do this anyway. It doesn't matter how we feel about it, so there's no point in being angry." Yan Wuyue had a great mindset.

"But how are we going to do this? Everyone is going to come for us!" Xiao Shengyun asked.

"Instead of them coming for us, why don't we take the initiative to go for them?" Yan Wuyue pointed out indifferently.

"You're right. If they dare to come for us, they should be prepared to be crushed by us too!" Zhou Mingrui was no longer worried. Since the Academy has already made the announcement officially, he might as well accept whatever that comes his way.

Yan Wuyue clapped her hands together and looked at Zhao Anqi first. "Alright, our strategy this time is pretty simple. Zhao Anqi, your summoned spirit has the ability to fly, so you will be in charge of the enemies behind us and in the sky. Xiao Shengyun will back you up if necessary."

"Understood." Zhao Anqi nodded.

Yan Wuyue turned to Xiao Shengyun next. "You have duplicated Zhou Mingrui's attributes and abilities. Apart from him, you are the strongest here now. Therefore, you will be responsible for the enemies on both sides. If necessary, you should be ready to back up Zhao Anqi."

"And if Zhao Anqi happens to need your help, as the person in the middle, I'll fill in the your position. As for our front, Zhou Mingrui will double as our defense and offense!"

"Remember, the purpose of this formation is to ensure that Zhou Mingrui can maximize the effects of our attacks. Everything has to revolve around and adapt to his decisions. Understand?"

Zhao Anqi and Xiao Shengyun looked at each other and nodded.

They understood that Yan Wuyue's arrangement was the most reasonable in this situation, and there was no need to doubt the expert.

After deciding on their strategy, the team finally entered the arena.

The arena for this round was different from the previous ones, no matter in size or material. It was obvious that it had been modified to withstand more damage in the past few days.

Sure enough, all eyes were on them as the team walked up into the arena.

Yan Wuyue and her team felt those pressurizing gazes. However, apart from Zhao Anqi, who was slightly nervous, the others behaved as if they had not noticed the pressure at all.

"Don't worry too much. In my eyes, they just look like a bunch of useless potatoes. Just make sure to protect yourself during the fight later. I will help you if you get into trouble." Xiao Shengyun could sense Zhao Anqi's restlessness, so he attempted to comfort her.

"What, are you trying to hit on me?" Zhao Anqi gave Xiao Shengyun a side eye. "You're pretty strong, just not as good looking as Zhou Mingrui. You'll have to work way harder if you want to chase me."

Xiao Shengyun's was at a loss for words. He opened his mouth to explain himself, but then decided to just shut up instead.

"What, are you embarrassed?" Zhao Anqi laughed, "It's fine. Although I like Zhou Mingrui, you can still pursue me. Who knows, I might suddenly change my mind."

...

Xiao Shengyun's face started to twitch.
