Three in the afternoon.
At this moment, only three schools remained in the fight for the championship title!
When the host announced the names of the top three academies, the teachers and leaders from Godslayer Academy sitting in the audience felt as if they were dreaming.
Their initial goal had simply been to make it into the top ten. That alone would have been considered a huge victory!
No one could have expected that Godslayer Academy would one day be competing for the championship!
"I never thought our Godslayer Academy would see this day!" The director of instruction sat in the audience, gazing at the students on stage competing for the championship, and couldn't stop his tears from falling.
Among those teams on stage, one was theirs.
A senior leader beside him sighed. "That's right. To be blunt, our Godslayer Academy has always been a bottom-tier school in previous years. Who would have thought that this year's kids would be so impressive!"
Terry Yan chuckled. "Leaders, maybe this year we'll even bring home the championship trophy!"
At this moment, Terry Yan was brimming with confidence, as if he had returned to his student days.
Back then, he had also been a star on campus, admired by many girls. Shane Farris had merely been his tag-along "little brother"...
"To have made it this far, I'm already satisfied. I believe the principal feels the same way." The director of instruction spoke with mixed emotions.
Of course, he also wanted to win that championship trophy.
But at the same time, he feared that raising his hopes too high would lead to disappointment.
Just then, the host's voice rang out from the stage. "Ladies and gentlemen, the final battle is about to begin. Before that, there's something I can't hold back from saying!"
The audience, who had been cheering loudly, quickly quieted down, curious about what the host wanted to say.
The host smiled. "This year's competition is similar to past years, but also very different. The biggest difference is that this year, we've witnessed the rise of a super dark horse... I'm sure everyone knows which academy I'm talking about. Can you shout out their name at the top of your lungs?"
The moment he finished, the host deliberately turned the microphone toward the crowd and struck a listening pose.
"Godslayer Academy!!!"
Countless spectators enthusiastically shouted in unison.
"That's right, it's Godslayer Academy!"
The host grinned. "Godslayer Academy has been the biggest surprise of the year. All the way to this point, they've defeated one strong opponent after another, even toppling the previous championship seed, War God Academy. This is nothing short of a miracle!"
"Right now, I'd like to ask the captain of Godslayer Academy: Autumn Summer, do you believe your team has what it takes to win the championship?"
As the host spoke, he approached Autumn Summer and handed her the microphone.
"Of course we do!" Autumn Summer took the microphone and answered confidently, without a hint of hesitation. "Because we have Vincent Fox. He's the strongest among all the freshmen!"
Her words, especially the word "strongest," rang out powerfully and left no room for doubt.
Vincent, standing beside her, was briefly stunned, then couldn't help but laugh.
The audience erupted into wild cheers.
"Vincent!!"
"Vincent!!"
"Vincent!!"
Many spectators, especially the girls, were shouting Vincent's name at the top of their lungs.
Over the past few days of competition, it was Vincent who had led Godslayer Academy to turn the tides in every match. His outstanding performance had completely won over countless people, and he had gained many loyal fans.
At this point, Vincent was undoubtedly a rising internet star!
Honestly, if Vincent ever stopped chasing power, he could probably make a fortune just by doing live streams and endorsements.
Of course, not everyone was a fan.
"Tch! He's just a lucky clown!"
"Exactly. In the last round, Godslayer Academy had the luck to get a free pass. If they hadn't, they'd already be out!"
"Just wait. His true colors will show soon enough."
"He wants the championship? Ha! If he wins, I'll livestream myself eating poop..."
"Bro, are you sure you want to say that? I may not like this guy either, but even I have to admit, he's really strong."
These harsh voices mostly came from students and fans of other academies who had been eliminated by Vincent.
Of course, their voices were completely drowned out by the overwhelming cheers, barely heard by anyone else.
On stage, the host retrieved the microphone and smiled. "It seems Godslayer Academy's captain has great confidence in Vincent... Speaking of which, let me remind everyone present, has anyone noticed something? Since the very first round, Vincent has actually set a record!"
Seeing the puzzled looks on countless faces, the host didn't keep them in suspense. He pointed directly at Vincent and loudly declared, "Our Vincent Fox has achieved zero deaths in every match, while securing at least seven kills per game!"
"Does everyone remember the legend from the Canyon Forbidden Zone? It's said that if a contestant can finish the entire competition without dying once, while securing at least seven kills per match and finally winning the championship, they will achieve the legendary 'Godlike Achievement'!"
"And those who achieve the Godlike status will be rewarded by the Canyon Forbidden Zone with a mysterious skill!"
"Clearly, Vincent Fox is aiming for the Godlike Achievement!!!"
As the host's voice faded, the entire venue suddenly fell silent.
Countless people were shocked.
Thinking back carefully, it was true. In every match, it was Vincent who had carried the team, racking up the most kills.
In his best game, he had over ten kills, and even in his "worst," he still had eight. He had never died, not even when ambushed or outnumbered five to one.
"Holy crap! Now that I think about it, Vincent's current stats really do qualify for the Godlike Achievement!"
"Damn! Could he actually get it?"
"The legendary Godlike Achievement! No one has ever accomplished it. Could it finally happen this year?"
"This is insane! Vincent is way too terrifying!"
"I thought his goal was just the championship, but it turns out he's aiming for the sky while we're still stuck in the mud!"
"Damn, no wonder he's my idol. This guy is seriously incredible."
"Is it possible? Can he really pull it off?"
"Hard to say. It all depends on whether the other two academies will give him the chance!!"
----------------------------------------------------
The deeper he goes, the more the truth unravels. Don't wait read ahead and witness Vincent's rise before the world catches up!
