234: Chapter 226 Pre-match Analysis

While the School Team members were either intensely making last-minute improvements or in other activities, five days quickly passed. In the meeting room designated by the Coaching Team, the School Team members reassembled.

After everyone had arrived, Kong Ji sat down at the speaker's table.

"This gathering has two main points: to give you a simple pre-match analysis so you can have some understanding of the opponents you might face, and after the analysis meeting, you will need to cooperate with the Academy's publicity department to shoot individual posters and a pre-match promotional video."

As his voice fell, the meeting room and the virtual screens in front of everyone simultaneously activated, and information on each participating player was loaded onto the screens.

"Time is limited, so I'll just go over this briefly. The detailed information will be sent to your respective inboxes later for you to review yourselves.

First, our old rivals, the other Seven Great Academies.

Zhou Mi, captain of the First Academy, MVP of the previous University League. Her main spirit beasts in the previous league were the three Star Spirits, Seven Kills, Army Breaker, and Greedy Wolf. It is speculated she has a killing or war-growth type Innate Talent.

According to the information we've gathered, she spent most of this year roaming various battlefields or beast tide secret realms, adding two new Star Spirits: Ketu and Rahu.

Chu Chen, captain of the Second Academy. His main spirit beasts in the previous league were Mountain Ghost and River God. His combat style involves modifying the environment, leveraging the power of heaven and earth, and suppressing with overwhelming force.

Feng Qin, captain of the Fourth Academy, a third-year student with no league record. He hails from Miao Frontier, and his known spirit beast is the Gu King Cauldron. His combat style involves summoning various Gu insects for healing, combat, and substitution.

...

Zhong Su, captain of the Eighth Academy, a second-year student with no league record. He was specially recruited and has no records whatsoever. Students within the school have no impression of him. It is speculated his abilities are related to time, memory, or presence. It is advised to treat him with caution."

As Kong Ji spoke, information on the team members of the other seven academies, theirSkilled directions, strengths and weaknesses, and their potential growth over the past year were all laid out before everyone.

Compared to the largely unchanged old rivals they had mostly encountered in the previous season, everyone's attention was naturally drawn to Feng Qin and Zhong Su, who had no prior reputation but suddenly became captains of the Eight Great Academies' School Teams.

The former had only revealed one main spirit beast, while the latter was a complete blank slate, with only fragmented information available for speculation, which naturally piqued everyone's curiosity.

Kong Ji did not offer much explanation for their extremely simple information. This was not the first time the various academies had encountered such geniuses who remained silent normally but suddenly emerged when certain special events approached.

However, since a promising talent suddenly appeared in their own school, and it was confirmed to be one of their own, the various academies were naturally happy to conceal them to present a 'surprise' to their friendly schools in the upcoming major event.

Not just those two, but Xu Yan and Lin Heng from their Third Academy, although they had shown their Innate Talent early on, before they truly demonstrated Domain Stage 2 strength, outsiders at most thought they had a promising future and might quickly grow in the next year or two to become future pillars of the School Team.

However, their growth rate far exceeded everyone's imagination.

Similarly, from the moment they registered for the School Team selection, their information was partially hidden, and after the School Team selection, the concealment of their information became even more thorough.

Pulling his wandering thoughts back, Kong Ji continued to speak:

"Besides these old rivals, this University League also has some existences that require special attention.

You should already know without me saying that this University League is special. Besides the regular students from various colleges, there are also personnel from other forces and clans who have set their sights on the benefits behind this University League.

All Eight Great Academies, including us, have received greetings from various forces through different channels, expressing their willingness to pay a large amount of precious resources and benefits to secure an opportunity for their descendants—an opportunity for fair competition, to enter the University League roster as exchange students.

Of course, from the fact that you haven't encountered challenges from such individuals during your training until now, you can tell that we did not agree to such requests that harm student interests. Furthermore, not just our Third Academy, but all Eight Great Academies rejected their requests.

After being rejected by us, those guys approached colleges outside the Eight Greats.

The Eight Greats have their pride, and they possess the strength and foundation to support that pride, so we could directly refuse them. However, not every other college has the same backbone as us.

The threats and benefits offered by those forces and clans, and the changes in resources and various supports available for different rankings in the University League, are extremely tempting for those colleges that are struggling or stuck at a bottleneck.

And those individuals sent by those forces and clans to scheme for the benefits behind this University League generally possess extremely powerful strength and backgrounds.

Therefore, in this University League, the opponents you need to pay attention to and take seriously are not only the other Seven Great Academies, but also those other colleges that may have new members.

We have also collected some information on these individuals, but because multiple forces are involved, even after multiple layers of screening and verification, the authenticity of this information is only about seventy to eighty percent.

Of course, due to the rules of the University League, those who can participate are humans, officially cultivated, and within a certain age limit. Their numbers are small, and their strength is also limited.

So, don't be fooled by the so-called 'hidden clan/sect geniuses' titles these Little fellows carry; their true strength is about the same as yours. In fact, the 'clan heritage education' they receive might even be inferior to the standardized, scientific education within the academies.

One point that requires more attention is that some individuals grew up in environments that are not as disciplined and peaceful as the academies. People cultivated in such environments tend to be cunning, have low moral bottom lines, and their methods are wild. When fighting them, you still need to pay more attention to the details.

Besides asking you to pay more attention to colleges below the Eight Greats, we have also received news that our refusal has caused dissatisfaction among some individuals within those forces and clans who made the requests.

Without the ability or courage to vent their dissatisfaction on the academies, you, the School Team members, have become their targets.

Although the academies exist, those guys don't have the guts to use underhanded tactics against you. However, it's inevitable that their descendants will make targeted or disgusting moves against you within the rules.

We have also specially marked the approximate personnel. When you encounter these reckless individuals, be careful not to be ambushed.

At the same time, when you act against them, there's no need for any scruples or holding back; hit them back hard and directly."
