X-Dragon Era-Chapter 687 - 486-487: Fantasy Dream Team_3
What particularly surprised Po Kong and the others was that they had all carefully considered: if they were Xin Yun, could they end the battle within nine seconds? Good heavens... it wasn't a one-on-one fight, there were as many as ten targets. To defeat ten opponents in nine seconds was truly too difficult, whether for Po Kong or Yi Luo Xiang, neither could achieve this.
After the first round of the competition ended, next up was a ten-day round-robin tournament. One hundred and ten people were divided into eleven groups, with ten teams in each group, competing in eleven different areas.
The so-called round-robin tournament had rules similar to the selection competitions of various academies. Each team could send three members into the field, and they had to change members for each match, with only the team leader remaining unchanged, while the other two members and two substitutes took turns competing.
According to the schedule, Xin Yun was assigned to the first group. In the next three months, they would battle with the other nine teams in the same group. The team with the most victories would qualify for the third round, while the other teams would all be eliminated!
It's worth mentioning that to avoid strong teams encountering each other too early, the ten individuals who finished the first round in the shortest time became the seeded teams, each allocated to different groups. Therefore, within the first group where Xin Yun was, there was not a single future Nine Great Expert. They and their teams were divided into other groups, only able to meet again in the final round.
Time swiftly passed, and the subsequent battles felt to Xin Yun and the others as if they had returned to Mountain Sea Academy. The opponents they faced seemed to have become teams from Mountain Sea Academy again. Although in terms of strength, these guys were somewhat stronger, even much stronger, when compared to Xin Yun and his companions, it just wasn't proportional!
Yi Luo Xiang, Yan Qingying, Ming Xuan, Po Kong, these were all geniuses with exceptional talent and stunning brilliance. Each one of them was a future one of the Nine Great Experts. Po Kong was ranked first, Ming Xuan was ranked third, but also had the strength of the first rank, while Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying, despite respectively ranking sixth and seventh, remained less well-known only due to fewer battles fought—yet their true power might not differ by much.
The only one who was not a future Nine Great Expert was probably Xin Yun. However, what happened in the future was yet unknown, but speaking of the present moment, and specifically the crystal level, Xin Yun was absolutely dominant. Even Po Kong might be slightly inferior.

Such a dazzling lineup, such a luxurious combination, could only be found here, almost entirely comprised of the future Nine Great Experts. Unless the other future Nine Great Experts teamed up together, the Fantasy Dream Team was practically invincible!
Regrettably, the other future Nine Great Experts were scattered across different teams and even different groups. Before the finals, they couldn't encounter each other.
In front of a formidable, overwhelming advantage, the other teams in Xin Yun's group had truly bad luck. Although they possessed notable strength, under the full force of Xin Yun and his allies, they still lost miserably without any resemblance to skilled individuals; even if they were much stronger, they were quickly annihilated by the Fantasy Dream Team. It would've been the same result even if they faced a bunch of fools.
Inscrutable! Yes... that was everyone's evaluation of the Fantasy Dream Team. The teams in the first group could not pose any threat to the Fantasy Dream Team, nor could they force the team to reveal their full strength. Therefore, even though everyone speculated on how strong the Fantasy Dream Team actually was, not a single person had a definitive answer—not even Xin Yun and his team knew the full extent of the Fantasy Dream Team's strength.
As the competition progressed, the reputation of the Fantasy Dream Team skyrocketed! Although they only competed in nine matches, the Fantasy Dream Team's arrogant actions and their daring, self-restricting fighting style made all five members the most dazzling stars!
The Fantasy Dream Team's first lineup always had just one person stepping forward, with the other two merely supporting. As long as one could defeat the person who stepped out, it was equivalent to defeating the Fantasy Dream Team. Unfortunately, not a single team could achieve this goal, and one lost more miserably than the last.
The Fantasy Dream Team's second lineup was a powerful and unyielding single-combat array. The three members who participated in the matches would never cooperate, never coordinate; instead, each picked their own target and fought with their individual strength. No matter how in sync the opponents were, they were, without exception, swept aside with devastating force.
Three months was a long time, yet, in some ways, it also passed in the blink of an eye. Soon... the second round came to an end. Along with the five members of the Fantasy Dream Team, the future Nine Great Experts, as well as Xin Yun, all became the brightest stars. However, the order of the rankings underwent significant changes!
From highest to lowest, the ranking order was as follows: Xin Yun, Po Kong, Ming Xuan, Yi Luo Xiang, Yan Qingying, Cang Mang, An Xi, Saint Light, Mo Dun, and Ka Ka. All ten became the Top Ten Experts of this competition. The entire ranking order was completely turned on its head.
The reason for such a change was due to the exceedingly strong Fantasy Dream Team, particularly the competition format set by Xin Yun that maximized the brilliance of all five members of the Fantasy Dream Team to its greatest extent. Without absolute confidence and strength, who would dare to present such a lineup? Keep in mind... if any member of the Fantasy Dream Team lost, it would mean the entire team lost. Therefore, during the ranking, all five members of the Fantasy Dream Team topped everyone else, which was precisely Xin Yun's goal!
Of course, the current ranking was only temporary. However, should the Fantasy Dream Team win the championship of this competition, then the ranking would become unshakable. If they could win the championship even in such unfavorable circumstances, it would be sufficient proof that the five members of the Fantasy Dream Team had greatly surpassed their contemporaries.
After the second round ended, only eleven individuals remained. What followed was the final round of the competition. The rules for this round were exactly the same as the second round, still a round-robin tournament. Each team would battle with the other ten teams in one match each. The team with the most victories would be the champion of this cycle's World Academy challenge match! (To be continued, for more details on what happens next, please visit www.qidian.com.
