Chapter 62: Splitting Up Into Teams, Good Luck

Vice Dean Jiang activated the barrier and left the platform.

He slowly walked among the ten students and waved his hand to signal for the instructors to leave.

The instructors understood and could only rely on the students’ strength. All they could do was watch from the side.

What they could do as instructors was give them the chance to showcase their abilities.

After the instructors cast their divine spells and left the arena outside the platform, there were only ten students left.

Among them, Lin Yan leaned slightly toward Sullo.

She was only slightly familiar with Sullo among the many people present.

At the same time, the second student god who had come to the venue, Du Chunqiu, also stood near Sullo.

Divine power surged out of Vice Dean Jiang’s body as he walked in front of them.

Stepping on the ground, he walked past the ten gods one step at a time, then turned his head and said calmly, “There will be ten of you in this selection. You will be randomly selected to split into two teams.

“You will send your own team members to represent your team in battle. Each win will give your team one point. The team to get three points first will represent our War Theological Seminary to participate in the Academy War.”

After that, the divine power in Vice Dean Jiang’s hand gathered and turned into ten light balls that were sent toward them.

The seven-colored divine light in the light balls flickered continuously but there was nothing else to it. This was just a method to denote who would be placed in which team.

Jiang Aotian continued to say in a deep voice, “Put your hands on it. Those of the same color will be grouped together into one team!”

“Yes.”

All ten students, including Sullo, placed their hands on the ball of light in front of them.

Instantly, the ball of light glowed brightly, and it kept changing between the seven colors.

Sullo, who placed his hands into the ball of light, felt a great pressure on his hands and couldn’t use all the divine power in his body.

After the seven-colored light flashed for a while, it quickly faded.

The ball of light in Sullo’s hand turned red. It seemed that he had been assigned to the red team.

Outside the arena, all of the instructors were watching this scene. Just as Vice Dean Jiang had said, luck was also considered a type of strength.

At the same time, quite a few instructors were secretly looking at Gu Yutong. They didn’t know why she had recommended a four-star god.

Even if that little fellow was very talented, at his current divine rank, he had most likely just reached godhood.

Quite a few instructors wanted to ask, but all of them held back.

Among them, Lin Yan’s instructor only gave Gu Yutong an indifferent glance, then turned her gaze to Sullo.

In the War Theological Seminary, she was considered to have a relatively good relationship with Gu Yutong. But when she heard Sullo’s name…

She seemed to have heard Lin Yan mention that he was a new God who had just arrived. She had never imagined that Gu Yutong would actually recommend a new God to participate in the Academy War.

Below the stage, the light spheres in the hands of the ten gods had already stabilized, and they were divided into two colors: red and blue.

The gods in the red team were Sullo, Lin Yan, Du Chunqiu, Lei Luo, and a 5-star God, Bao Hu.

As for the gods in the blue team, they were Ma Dongmei, Qian Liexian, Cao Awei…

They were actually some strange gods.

When the teams were split up, there was another uproar outside the stage. Countless gods had underestimated how shady it would be.

The strongest and the weakest were actually put into a single squad. This was simply too good to be true.

Countless gods stared with envy at the location where Sullo was located.

With Lei Luo, their squad would definitely be able to obtain at least a single victory.

In other words, amongst the remaining four, they would be able to win if they won two more matches after that.

The single six-star god in their team during this selection competition was considered a symbol of their invincibility.

“Junior Sullo, we’ve been assigned to the same team.”

Stealthily, Lin Yan slowly approached Sullo and made her presence known.

Originally, after hearing Vice Dean Jiang’s selection rules, Lin Yan’s heart had turned cold. However, it seemed that the Fates were kind to her.

What if she was assigned to be on the opposite side of Sullo? What would she do?

Fight? What if she injured him? But if she didn’t fight, she would be letting down her teacher’s training. This was a dilemma.

But luckily, Sullo was now on the same team as her.

Lei Luo, who was also on the red team, looked at Lin Yan’s small actions from the corner of his eye.

“Tsk.”

He lightly snorted and looked at Sullo. There was an inexplicable meaning in his gaze.

Sullo looked at Lin Yan who was whispering to him and chuckled.

“Senior Lin Yan, I didn’t expect you to be recommended.”

“I should be the one who should be surprised. Who would have thought that the combat department’s director would recommend a new god who had just entered the seminary?”

She had only been slightly stunned when she saw Sullo, but when she saw that the instructor who recommended him was no other than the combat department’s director herself, she suddenly understood.

She had never thought that Gu Yutong would recommend a new god who had just entered the seminary even if he was quite talented.

…

After the teams were ready to go, the battles began.

“For our team, let Goddess Lin Yan Goddess go first. Then it’ll be my turn. After that, you’ll be the third player and wrap up the last battle for us.”

In his indifferent tone, Lei Luo had already regarded himself as a team leader. After all, he was the strongest amongst the five of them.

The right to speak was naturally in his hands. Of course, he still had some small thoughts in his heart. It was rumored that the Ice Goddess Lin Yan was very difficult to get close to.

He wanted to make good use of this selection. Regardless of whether the first battle was won or not, he would settle the second one as cleanly as possible.

This way, he would be able to leave a deep impression on Lin Yan that he was very strong.

He had a head of light green hair and a faint smile appeared on his face, giving people the impression that he was very gentle.

“I think there’s no problem. Leave the third battle to me. If it goes smoothly, there’s no need to fight the fourth battle at all.”

Bao Hu, who had not spoken up all this while, suddenly said these words even though he was very unhappy with Lei Luo’s attitude of calling himself the captain.

However, he was also aware of Lin Yan’s strength. Among the students from his batch, her strength was also among the top. It would not be a big problem for her to win the first round.

Meanwhile, after Lin Yan heard that she would be fighting in the first round, she discreetly glanced at Sullo and discovered that the latter was slightly deep in thought. No one knew what he was thinking about.

Following this, she nodded her head and agreed to Lei Luo’s arrangement.

In the end, after eliminating the risk, Du Chunqiu was arranged to be in the fourth round. Of course, Sullo was their last representative.

However, other than Lin Yan, they all felt that before it reached Sullo’s turn, the selection process would have already been settled.
