Chapter 276: Throne Massacre

“Instructor Zhang, does ‘everyone’ you mentioned... also include you instructors?”

Zhang Ruoruo nodded without hesitation: “That’s right, we several base instructors, as well as all the special training instructors, must participate in a battle if a Throne student wants to challenge us.”

As soon as she said this, the entire audience was astonished.

So, the true meaning of the Throne’s Rampage was here; it was actually so fierce! Even instructors could be challenged!

Mingxi thought for a moment, then asked: “Can we challenge a specific pet for 1v1? Team battles? Or an All-In free-for-all?”

1v1, 2v2, 3v3 are the most common pet battle modes, with the only difference being the number of battle rounds.

Team battles involve Beast Tamers sending out an equal number of pets to fight.

All-In free-for-all, also known as the full participation mode, is a unique type of team battle where Beast Tamers can send out as many pets as they have, unrestricted by the opposing Beast Tamer’s pet count.

“All are possible: 1V1, 2V2, team battles, [N O V E L I G H T] and free-for-alls. It’s up to the Throne student to decide, but different levels and modes of pet battles yield different points.

The Joint Training Camp APP has basic information on all instructors and students, listing everyone’s strength level and pet level.

Oh, and points can not only be exchanged for direct qualification for the Blue Sun Cup but also for other generous rewards. You can see the specific rewards on the APP as well.

“So, Ming, do you have any other questions?”

Zhang Ruoruo looked at her with a smile.

Mingxi shook her head.

She was done for now.

Mingxi had no more questions, but other students did.

“Instructor, can a Throne student choose not to engage in a Rampage?”

A student asked.

Zhang Ruoruo nodded, a charming curve on her lips: “Rampage is a benefit for Throne students, and also the fastest way for students to earn points. If she doesn’t want to, we shouldn’t force her.

However, considering the significance of the Throne’s Rampage,

we have specifically set a threshold for it.

If a student occupies the Throne for more than three days but has never initiated a Rampage, or if she has initiated a Rampage but her challenged opponents are of a lower level than her, she will be subjected to reverse challenges.”

Her smile grew even brighter.

“In other words, at that time, not only all of you students, but we instructors can also freely hunt her!”

“Hunting” sounds very spiritual.

All the students took a sharp intake of cold air, contributing to global warming.

This meant that a Throne student had to engage in at least one Rampage within three days, and it had to be a challenge at their own level or a higher level, otherwise, they would become the target of everyone!

“If a regular student successfully challenges a Throne student, they gain the Throne and her star rating. If we instructors successfully challenge, we gain all her points.

Of course, our instructors’ reverse challenges will be subject to certain restrictions; the pet level difference cannot exceed 2 levels.”

That’s good, that’s good. A level difference of no more than 2 levels means at most fighting one level up.

Upon hearing this, some students breathed a sigh of relief, while others’ eyes lit up.

This Rampage mode is interesting!

Mingxi, however, felt a prickle down her spine at this moment.

If she remembered correctly, as the only 2-star student, according to the rules of the High-Rank Competition, she was now a Throne student.

So, what did these gazes mean?

Restless, eager to try?

She hadn’t done anything yet, and she was already a target?

But Mingxi also understood.

This Throne’s Rampage was an opportunity prepared for Throne students, but also the most stringent challenge.

And the penalty for failure was severe.

Losing the Throne, losing the star rating, losing points—it was a direct return to square one, restarting from 0 points.

Not only would the High-Rank Competition become even more intense, but if she didn't initiate a Rampage for a long time, all living beings in the Joint Training Camp would turn into hunters, which was terrifying.

How to describe this mechanism?

Either rise under intense pressure or suffer kidney failure in the challenge.

Zhang Ruoruo: “Any other students? Any more questions?”

Over five hundred students looked at each other.

Finally, Ye Xuanwu spoke: “Is there a limit to the number of challenges in the Throne’s Rampage?”

“No, as long as the Throne student is willing and keeps winning, she can challenge from morning to night.”

Ye Xuanwu nodded with satisfaction, the flame of ambition burning in his eyes, and a confident smile on his lips.

As if to say: “From tomorrow on, everyone below the Throne will be my, Ye Aotian’s, defeated opponent!”

Tsk.

Chūnibyō is indeed contagious.

Just as Mingxi was considering whether to distance herself from Beiyi and his group, Ye Xuanwu’s gaze, across the crowd, looked at her from afar and made a throat-slitting gesture.

His lips moved.

He mouthed: “You, wash your neck clean and wait for me!”

MDZZ.

The general rules explanation was complete.

Zhang, the “tool person” Ruoruo, once again completed her task and retreated, handing the stage over to the other instructors.

“My name is Lan Zhu, you can call me Instructor Lan, or Sister Zhu. Now, I and my pet Tu Mianmian will take you to the living area.”

Compared to Zhang Ruoruo’s dazzling beauty, Instructor Lan Zhu was like a gentle and generous older sister next door, naturally exuding an approachable aura.

But never mistake gentleness for weakness. Her pet, Tu Mianmian, is a King-level Transcendent creature with both fighting and fairy attributes.

This Transcendent creature looks incredibly cute on the outside; in its shrunken state, it’s simply a divine object that murders maiden hearts.

Once it enters combat mode, the cute creature transforms into a fierce one.

Killing cuteness is a matter of seconds.

Mingxi noticed Golden Yuanbao was again staring at that Tu Mianmian, battle intent burning in its eyes.

She quickly said: “To achieve great things, we must take one step at a time. Someone like Instructor Lan should be conquered later.”

Although she didn’t care much about being on the Throne or not, she absolutely couldn’t fall into the mud before her butt had even warmed the seat.

Didn’t she have any dignity?

Fortunately, Golden Yuanbao was amenable to advice in this regard; whatever its Beast Tamers said, that’s what it would do.

“Lei Lei!”

Mingxi’s face darkened.

Good heavens.

I told you to take one step at a time, not one instructor at a time.

And it even wanted to challenge Chu Kuangsheng last?

Liang Jingru wouldn’t even dare to give such courage.

“...Alright!”

Since her own pet said so, just go for it.

Isn’t it just starting over?

Fearless.

“We’ve arrived.”

They had already left the platform and arrived at a hidden canyon behind it.

The canyon space was not small, with two towering mountain walls reaching into the clouds.

Looking up, it felt as if they were shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

The mountain walls converged in an arrow shape, wider at the entrance and narrower inside, until only a narrow slit, two to three meters wide, remained.

Strangely, layers of sharp thorns grew in the slit, horizontally, diagonally, and crookedly, in various postures completely incomprehensible to humans.

(°_°)

Mingxi stared at the slit, those sharp thorns, and then looked at the height of the mountain walls on both sides, inexplicably shivering.
