Using Wood as a Sword

Chapter 133 Scheming to Counter! The Most Tense and Thrilling Elimination Round

Survival match?

Coordinates?

Assassinate himself?

Their power?

Good heavens! I didn't know this until I followed them, and I've gained a lot…

If my guess is correct, the so-called elder that Uncle Zhang mentioned should be the grandfather of Su Quan, that tenth-order awakened individual.

Wants to kill me in the survival match?

Lin Ran sneered.

The information I can get now is that the survival match is not held within Xiangchu University, and Xiangchu University has chosen another venue.

Otherwise, if it were on campus, even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to make a move.

Moreover, this elder seems to have a very close relationship with the person in charge of Xiangchu University's freshman exchange competition!

Not only could he get my coordinates, but he also knew the competition venue in advance…

This information should, by all rights, be top-secret and not leakable.

Old man Su's family, what a grand gesture!

However, now that Lin Ran knows this information and has recorded the audio, they will surely have to pay for it!

If nothing else, as long as Lin Ran reveals this news to the relevant person in charge now, he can make these people collapse instantly.

Cheating in the freshman exchange competition and attempting to assassinate a participant…

The crime is unthinkable.

How audacious are they to do such a thing? To disregard and ignore the laws of the entire Dragon Country?

However, Lin Ran does not intend to do so.

Lin Ran has always treated his enemies in the most brutal way.

To merely let them face legal sanctions and public opinion? That's too lenient for them!

Lin Ran decided to let these people fall even harder, preferably into a bottomless abyss…

As his thoughts raced, a very mature plan began to take shape in Lin Ran's mind.

Why not play along for now!

And the first step is to deal with those assassins first…

With the backing of divine might and a black dragon's body that surpasses tenth-order strength, Lin Ran is confident he can spar even with that tenth-order elder.

A mere assassination squad, what is there to fear?

Life, wealth, glory, reputation, status, family business…

I will destroy everything you have!

Not long after, Lin Ran, as if nothing had happened, rejoined the team and engaged in cheerful banter with them.

With their super strong raw power and a good bit of luck, the ten of them remained undefeated, successfully advancing to the elimination rounds.

From this point on, there is no room for error.

High in the sky, Niya, standing on a disc-shaped flying vehicle, spoke slowly:

"Congratulations everyone, as of now, the top five hundred in the individual competition have all been determined."

"What follows is the most intense and exciting 1v1 elimination rounds!"

"This format is single-elimination, and one loss will result in immediate elimination!"

"One by one, advance in stages. When the number of remaining participants is odd, there will be a lucky bye. Finally, the champion of the individual competition will be crowned!"

"Do not worry about consumption or injuries. Those who advance each round will be cared for by the top medical team, ensuring you are in the best condition for the next round…"

"The principle of avoiding same-school opponents remains in effect in the initial stages of the elimination rounds. You will not encounter your teammates in the same region."

"The rest will depend on your strength and luck!"

"Now, the draw begins!"

Following Niya's final passionate words, scattered points of light fell from the sky.

These points of light were the five hundred grouping tokens.

Their colors were different: crimson, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black, white, grey…

At a glance, there were about one or two dozen colors.

According to the rule of avoiding same-school opponents, Lin Ran and his teammates naturally could not choose the same color.

Lin Ran did not pay much attention to these things. With a casual wave, he took a purple token from the air.

g18.

Then his opponent should be g17…

Although Lin Ran didn't care, others were quite concerned.

Lin Ran looked at the rain of tokens in the sky and suddenly noticed that purple tokens were the most numerous remaining, and the most conspicuous.

After these two rounds of preliminaries, Lin Ran, who could always finish in the shortest time and had brutally defeated Su Quan, had become a terrifying demon king in the individual competition, striking fear into opponents.

The participants who had made it into the top five hundred were all sharp individuals!

The higher the ranking, the further they could climb, and the more rewards and glory they would gain.

Having witnessed Lin Ran take a purple token, how could they dare to incur his wrath?

Even those who had the desire to fight Lin Ran did not want to encounter him in the group stage.

If they were to lose, they would prefer to lose in the finals…

And if they could win, the glory would be boundless, and the stage would naturally be as large as possible.

Those who were slow and were thus forced to choose purple tokens looked as if the end of the world had arrived.

Only one person was an exception.

A young man in yellow, carrying a sword and with a stern brow, had also been observing Lin Ran's movements.

When Lin Ran took a purple token from the air, he immediately took one as well.

The yellow color on him also represented the maple leaf yellow of Xiangchu University.

He even wore a captain's armband on his arm.

The young man in yellow looked in Lin Ran's direction and murmured to himself:

"The strongest of this tournament, Lin Ran… I'm here!"

Lin Ran did not pay attention to these details.

In his eyes, these were all just insignificant opponents. Whether he fought them early or late, or whom he fought, it was all much the same.

In fact, Lin Ran had not even finished observing the distribution of the tokens before he arrived at the arena assigned to Group G.

Facing him was a burly man with a thick waist.

However, the man's face showed no trace of ferocity that matched his physique.

Instead, it showed only endless despair and indignant resentment.

For any of the current participants, seeing Lin Ran standing opposite them would likely not improve their mood…

Lin Ran glanced at the not-so-conspicuous team uniform on the big man, ruled out the possibility of him being from a top-10 school, and sighed, saying:

"What do you say? Since there's no chance at all, why don't you surrender?"

"This way, you can avoid getting hit."

The big man glanced at the countdown timer, which was slowly ticking away, and gritted his teeth:

"Surrender is impossible…"

"Even if I'm no match for you, I still want to find the gap between us!"

Lin Ran nodded:

"Alright! I respect your spirit of never giving up."

"In that case, let me also fight you seriously!"

Saying this, a high-pitched dragon roar echoed throughout the entire arena.
