VIP Room at the top of the arena audience seats.

A few teachers were sitting on the sofa, watching the dynamics of the contestants on separate screens.

Invited by them, Teacher Bai was also among the group.

She was a bit surprised at the appearance of these old acquaintances.

Not only were there teachers from Imperial University and Modu University, but also Yangdu University, Andu University, and Hedou University. Including Xidu University, six of the top ten Summoner academies in the Huaxia region were here.

The popularity of this year's Southwest Star Cup was somewhat unexpected.

"I heard that one of your students really learned the 'Incarnation' skill?"

A young male teacher, holding a glass of red wine, looked towards Teacher Liu from Modu.

Though this male teacher seemed to be the youngest by appearance, Teacher Bai knew he just had a baby face and was actually in the same age group as them, possibly even the oldest.

Imperial University, Teacher Le.

A man who was a bit disrespectful to his age.

She strongly suspected that it was this guy, who often acted on a whim, that influenced the students.

"Has that troublemaking teacher from your school finally decided to reveal their unique skill?"

A middle-aged man was sitting carelessly nearby.

Teacher Lin from Hedou University, should be called Vice Principal Lin.

He held the highest position among their group of old friends and also seemed to be the most powerful, seemingly.

"But why do I feel it's not quite like that."

"It always feels like an incomplete 'Incarnation'."

Teacher Yan from Yangdu University, a young woman, was browsing through the screens.

"Teacher Yan's eye is indeed sharp."

"Actually, this is indeed an imitation 'Incarnation' we developed; it's not complete."

"Currently, we've only developed the method of attaching to left and right hands."

"We managed to research it because she let slip some tips."

Teacher Liu from Modu did not deny it and revealed the truth.

"Alright, let's just watch the competition properly."

"Don't discuss things that may or may not be."

Teacher Jing from Andu University thought they were quite noisy.

"Calm down, the match has just begun. There's no rush."

Teacher Bai laughed.

The contestants hadn't fully entered the dungeon yet. It was too early to focus, better to chat.

"But someone has already obtained the Five Elements Crystal."

Teacher Jing said while enlarging the frame she accidentally filtered onto earlier.

"Huh?"

Teacher Bai looked closely, her expression slightly stiffening.

"Not bad, this team of contestants."

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, they defeated seven Mud Crabs right away? Quite impressive in combat strength."

"They all look young, which of your universities do these students belong to?"

Several teachers focused on the screen.

The screen displayed none other than Li Pu and the others.

For the contestants' level, Mud Crabs were indeed relatively tough opponents.

Having handled a whole group of Mud Crabs so soon after starting,

it immediately made several teachers think this team had quite good strength.

"Uh..."

Teacher Bai maintained a dazed expression, intentionally letting out an exaggerated "uh."

"What? Teacher Bai, do you know them?"

"Could they possibly be your students?"

The teachers all turned to look at her.

The bait was taken.

Seeing the reaction from everyone, Teacher Bai outwardly appeared calm but was inwardly quite amused.

"Yes, two of them are my students."

She was about to enter show-off mode.

Li Pu and Wu Guinan were both first-year students, and she was the head of the first-year combat department. It wasn't inaccurate to call them her students, right?

Moreover, she was indeed Wu Guinan's homeroom teacher.

"Huh? If I remember correctly... you are in charge of the first-year students this year, right?"

Teacher Jing seemed a bit hesitant.

"Ahem, of course."

Teacher Bai feigned profundity.

"Wow, wow, wow, it seems that Little Bai's teaching skills haven't declined over the years but have actually improved."

"A team with two first-year students taking down a nest of Mud Crabs at the start?"

"Old Le, it seems like they might not lose to your Long Ren."

While speaking, everyone looked towards Teacher Le.

"That's hard to say."

Teacher Le smiled and waved his hand.

He thought to himself, if you're going to make a comparison, why use our Long Ren?

Perhaps you haven't seen what a true genius among geniuses is like.

Saying this, he input Long Ren's camera number.

On the big screen at the other end, Long Ren's figure appeared immediately.

But unlike the lenses of the others, Long Ren was actually by himself, with no teammates around him.

"Huh? How did this kid end up alone?"

"Acting solo so quickly, he's really bold."

"Hahaha, it looks like he's being chased by something, quite a sorry sight."

Accompanied by everyone's words, Teacher Le's face was not looking too good.

...

"Dug up an area, skill explosion!"

Standing by an overturned Mud Crab, Wu Guinan lifted a light orb.

"One, two, three, four, five, five crystal fragments."

"It takes 20 fragments to form one full crystal."

Wang Nuonuo was collecting the crystal fragments dropped by the Mud Crabs.

Each piece was about the size of a palm and when enough pieces were put together, they would automatically fuse into a complete sphere.

Their task was to collect four of each Five Elements Crystal, and in terms of overall progress, they had now completed 1.25% of the task.

No wonder the task for the second round allowed 5 days, it was not something that could be accomplished quickly.

"Quick, show off what kind of skill it is?"

Chang Shoushang was more curious about the skill light orb.

"Sure."

Wu Guinan adjusted the information to visible mode for everyone to watch together.

[LV1 - Water Crossing (D)]

Active Effect: Cross water environments with significantly increased lateral movement speed

Attribute Requirement: 1~10 Water

Type Requirement: None

Race Requirement: Aquatic

"Seems decent!"

Chang Shoushang patted Wu Guinan on the shoulder.

"A D-rank skill, it's pretty good."

Wang Nuonuo nodded in agreement.

"It's just right, you should take it."

Li Pu took a glance and continued cracking the crabs.

Among their summoned beasts, only the Rolling Turtle met the water attribute + aquatic type requirement.

Moreover, he could also acquire this skill by collecting crab leg-related materials.

It was exactly the same skill, and he could even ignore the conditions.

The only downside was the cost, but luckily he still had some money, enough for use.

Due to the large number of crabs, the related materials were plentiful; they could be used up immediately.

Li Pu's action of breaking crab legs had long become a common sight to everyone.

Since their time in the Little Yama Realm, they always thought of him as having a peculiar collection habit.

The remaining crab bodies were stored by Chang Shoushang, who had the largest storage space, to divide later after leaving.

After collecting a sufficient quantity of crab legs, Li Pu began reviewing his options.

It seemed that 'Water Crossing' could merge with 'Fast Running'.

Only 8000 Crystal Coins, affordable enough.
