Chapter 336 On War of Attrition

Although he had seen the ruins of this city in the crystal ball, when he actually visited the site, Anvis was still amazed at the magnificence and beauty of the ruins.

The huge ruins city, with a slightly collapsed temperament, lay quietly in the huge crater.

The long years have dimmed its former glory, but also added the charm and accumulation of time to it.

After getting off the ship, many students did not enter the ruins immediately. Instead, the vice president first told the basic information of the ruins.

This is to allow many students to have the most basic understanding of the existence and danger of the ruins.

Afterwards, under the personal escort of many high-level professionals, everyone officially entered the ruins and gathered in a small square in front of the city's original magic library.

It seems that due to the impact, the huge female elf stone statue holding a staff that was originally standing in the center of the square has fallen down, smashing a shallow pit on the ground on one side.

At this time, the ninth-rank vice-president [Psychedelic Light] Xius stepped forward, stood on the shoulder of the statue, and announced the rules of the first competition to many students.

"According to the rules of the Pamir Competition, the first step is to form a team."

"Now, all students below the fourth rank step out, touch this crystal ball with the college identity card, and get your team number."

As his voice fell, a huge crystal ball shining with a faint blue light emerged silently and floated beside Xius.

Many students stepped forward in an orderly manner, touched the crystal ball with their identity cards as he said, and got a random team number in a flash of blue light.

Looking at this scene, Avis did not make any move, but Fiona, who was standing next to Avis, looked a little eager to try.

However, when she was about to step forward to draw a number, Avis gently pulled her and signaled the girl not to go.

"Brother? Aren't we going to draw a number?"

The girl was stunned by Avis's stop, and turned her head with some confusion, looking at the boy with her big lake blue eyes inquiringly.

"No... Fei, unlike them, we don't need to participate in the random team formation."

Shaking his head gently, Avis began to explain the reason to the girl in a low voice.

"No matter which team we draw, it will lead to a very serious imbalance.

Therefore, not only us, but all the descendants of the four major families and the royal family do not need to participate in the team formation process, but can directly jump to the final decisive battle.

This is the unspoken rule that has been passed down since the eleventh Pamir College Competition."

In fact, the descendants of the four major families and the royal family usually do not participate in the Pamir Competition, but serve as honorary judges, together with other high-level professionals, to observe which geniuses have appeared in this year's competition.

And after the first place in the competition is decided, they symbolically welcome the challenge of the winning team.

The reason for this situation is very simple. The descendants of the five major families of the empire have a huge gap in comprehensive strength with other Pamir students.

If the descendants of the four major families and the royal family participate in the competition, then there is no suspense at all for the top few, and it is almost certain that they will be decided among the descendants of these five families.

As the number of competitions increases, everyone is tired of the situation where the final is always a civil war among the five families.

So, when the eleventh Pamir competition ended, the descendants of the five families agreed to stop participating in the lottery for team formation.

Since then, the competition has truly presented a situation of a hundred schools of thought. From time to time, some civilian geniuses with adventures would emerge and make brilliant performances in the competition.

"Is that so... I know..."

After listening to the boy's answer, Fiona nodded a little confused.

It was the first time she knew that being too strong would also cause problems.

When Avis was talking to Fiona, most of the low-level students in front of the statue had already been drawn.

"Are there any students below the fourth level who have not drawn a team number?"

Looking around and seeing no one answering, Xius continued to speak.

"Very good, now, students above the fourth level, come here to draw a team number."

At the same time, the color of the crystal ball flashed and turned dark red.

After all the students had finished drawing, Xius waved his hand and the crystal ball disappeared again.

"Next, you have one magic hour to get familiar with your temporary teammates. After one magic hour, this Pamir competition officially begins.

The first stage is the team competition. All teams randomly select opponents and send five players to fight each other. The team with all five players falling will be judged as the loser."

"Each team will receive 5,000 initial team points. On this basis, a victory can get 1,000 points, and a loss will deduct 1,000 points.

After five duels, the teams with the top 20% of the final points can successfully advance to the next round of the semi-finals."

"In this stage, except for space items, it is forbidden to use all magic items brought by students.

Only equipment and props made on the spot by team members can be used, and the total volume of the team's space items shall not exceed ten basic space units..."

After explaining the rules of the competition, Xius touched his smooth head. Watching all the students quickly gather into teams according to their own numbers.

Soon, one magic hour passed.

Taking out another crystal ball, Hughes put the numbers of all the teams into it and began to assign opponents to all the teams.

This time, the crystal ball lit up with changing colors, and as countless numbers flashed in it, everyone's first battle list was projected into the air.

Although they were forbidden to use their own magic items, everyone had other cards. At this time, they looked at each other and saw a hint of confidence in each other's eyes.

Next, many teams began to go to the battle site of this stage.

For most teams below the fourth level, the duel was located in the former arena of the ruins, and each game could accommodate eight teams to fight at the same time.

At first, because they were forbidden to use their own equipment, many students felt a little uncomfortable and were restrained.

But after watching the first few battles, some smart students reacted and asked the members in charge of equipment and logistics in the team to copy a large number of magic scrolls with the shortest manufacturing time.

The team members in charge of the battle used these scrolls and successfully gained a certain advantage in the next battle.

Seeing what these teams did, other teams were also unwilling to lag behind and began to manufacture a large number of magic scrolls and some simple disposable alchemy props to compete with each other.

Teams above level 4 had more choices, but after analyzing the pros and cons, the team's think tank still decided to focus on making magic scrolls.

In a very short period of time, the benefits of making various low- and medium-level magic scrolls are higher than all other props.

So, the first day of the competition ended with a large number of various disposable consumables.

Coo coo, no pigeons.
