Song Bing and Yang Qile were both seniors at First Military Academy, and Wang Zhizhen and others still had to address them as seniors.
Dominic, on the other hand, was a senior at Shanar University in the United States.
These three individuals were all prodigies who were about to become Level 50 powerhouses at a young age, and they were known as the three most brilliant stars of the younger generation.
"Senior Song Bing actually uses this combat program too!" Wei Zicheng immediately became excited.
Song Bing had always been Wei Zicheng's idol; part of the reason Wei Zicheng enrolled in First Military Academy was to follow in Song Bing's footsteps. Song Bing was Wei Zicheng's goal; he also wanted to become a powerhouse like Song Bing!
"If only I could fight Senior Song Bing!" Wei Zicheng looked at the chip in his hand with fervent eyes, wishing he could enter the combat program and start fighting right now.
"Wake up, you. You don't have a single skill on you right now." Qiu Meixin rolled her eyes. "Moreover, they are all on the King's Leaderboard. To be matched with them, you also need to reach King rank. By the time you reach King rank, they would have already graduated."
Wei Zicheng looked at Qiu Meixin with an accusing expression.
Why did she have to speak such blunt truths!
"It's a good thing for Wen Xiangjie to have such passion. Human potential is infinite, and the teacher believes in you," Guan Mingwen said with a smile, giving Wei Zicheng a thumbs-up.
"Then the teacher won't dilly-dally any longer. Let's start today's lesson directly."
Guan Mingwen looked at Wen Xiangjie: "Principal Yun Bozhong told me that Wen Xiangjie has already reached Level 20 and has confirmed her two skills. So, my class actually doesn't hold much significance for Wen Xiangjie. Wen Xiangjie can now return to her dormitory and directly enter the combat program for practical training."
"Of course, if Wen Xiangjie wants to stay and listen, I welcome her wholeheartedly."
"Thank you, Teacher. Then I'll head back to the dormitory first." Wen Xiangjie stood up and politely said to Guan Mingwen, "I will strive to reach Diamond rank as soon as possible."
"Go on, the teacher believes in you, you can definitely do it!" Guan Mingwen nodded in appreciation.
Back at the villa, Wen Xiangjie opened the pet bag specially customized by the school for the Elf Queen. The Elf Queen happily flew out of it and sat on Wen Xiangjie's shoulder.
Wen Xiangjie touched the gemstone on her bracelet, and a light blue window popped up.
【Detecting your identity as Wen Xiangjie, a first-year student at First Military Academy, Level 20, possessing 2 skills, possessing 1 pet, meeting the combat program activation requirements. Combat program is activating...】
【Combat program activated. Your combat data has been synchronized in real-time. Would you like to enter the combat program now?】
"Confirm."
A pale blue light flashed, and Wen Xiangjie's consciousness seemed to be divided into two parts: one part of her could still control her physical body in reality, while the other part was in the combat program.
In fact, this was no different from Wen Xiangjie playing arcade games in her daily life, except this time the game was more "immersive."
The Elf Queen, sitting on Wen Xiangjie's shoulder, also entered the combat program with Wen Xiangjie.
This was the Elf Queen's first experience with such a thing. The real Elf Queen flew somewhat bewilderedly from Wen Xiangjie's left shoulder to her right, while the Elf Queen in the combat program remained motionless on Wen Xiangjie's left shoulder.
After all, she was an SSS-rank pet, and the Elf Queen's intelligence was very high, even surpassing that of ordinary humans, so she quickly understood the current situation.
She curiously flew around the preparation page of the combat program, and even leaned close to the information box that popped up in front of Wen Xiangjie, studying it carefully with wide eyes.
【Welcome, Wen Xiangjie, a first-year student at First Military Academy.】
【Please note, before entering the King's Leaderboard, your name and appearance will be hidden. During combat, only your school and year will be displayed. After entering the King's Leaderboard, you can choose whether to disclose your name and appearance.】
【The system will match you with opponents of similar rank. Students entering the combat program for the first time will participate in ten placement matches. The results of these ten placement matches will determine your initial rank.】
【The 4V4 team mode will be unlocked after you complete ten 1V1 placement matches.】
【Would you like to start your first placement match now?】
"Start."
【Matching you with an opponent of similar rank...】
【Match successful!】
The scene before Wen Xiangjie changed again, from the warm yellow preparation page to a dense forest.
Giant trees rose from the ground, their dense canopies overlapping to form a high dome, almost completely blocking out the sunlight, leaving only layers of tree shadows.
The forest combat arena simulated by this combat program was incredibly realistic; Wen Xiangjie could even hear the rustling sound of wind blowing through the leaves.
Wen Xiangjie was located at one end of the forest. She stretched out her hand, and a transparent air wall in front of her prevented her from entering the forest.
【First Military Academy First-Year Student VS Four Seas University Second-Year Student】
【The battle will officially begin in one minute! 60s, 59s, 58s...】
Wen Xiangjie touched the Four Seas University second-year student with her finger, and the opponent's information immediately popped up.
【Four Seas University Second-Year Student: Rank Bronze, possesses 1 skill, no pet, 1V1 combat win rate 36%.】
Meanwhile, on the other side, Wei Yanming, a second-year student from Four Seas University who was matched with Wen Xiangjie, excitedly said to his roommate next to him, "Holy cow! I hit the jackpot, I got matched with a first-year freshman for my promotion match! My final exams are saved, I can finally reach Silver!"
"You said you got matched with a first-year freshman?" His roommate looked at him like he was an idiot. "Then let me ask you, how long has this year's freshman class been in school?"
"A month, I guess, why?" Wei Yanming asked with a puzzled expression. "What, are you sleeping silly? You even forgot how long school has been open."
Roommate: ?
This idiot was calling him silly?
"You don't even think about it, what kind of skill level does a first-year freshman who can enter the combat program after only one month of school have! Think about when you were able to enter the combat program!" The roommate said irritably.
"At...at the end of my first year, second semester." Wei Yanming's voice grew quieter.
The roommate had an expression that said, "See, I told you."
"So what if it's a genius freshman from First Military Academy!" Wei Yanming retorted, unconvinced. "Even though the opponent is a genius, they just entered the combat program, right? In terms of combat experience, they definitely can't compare to me. I've fought over a hundred matches!"
