In Chapter 248, he was sent to his death.
[Please, please don't go over there, Senior Liu! The cultivators from Wanjue Academy are still alive and lying in ambush!]
Isn't it a bit late to say that? The killing of Liu is long over. The Wanjue Academy, really, seems to have changed its tune this year. Their scheming is practically overflowing the screen. Not only did they kill all fifty people from Mingyue Academy, but they also manipulated the other cultivators.
No matter what we say, Seru won't hear us. Sigh, hopefully Seru will be quick-witted enough to realize something's wrong and escape.

Zhao Wuchi left the virtual pod and turned on his personal computer. There were already many students from Mingyue Academy questioning and insulting him on the live stream. When Zhao Wuchi saw that Sha Liu was about to lead the remaining Mingyue Academy cultivators toward Jiang He, Zhao Wuchi completely broke down.
It shouldn't be like this.
This year, Wanjue Academy doesn't even have many Nascent Soul cultivators, and Jiang He, the commander, is incredibly weak.
He should have already wiped out all the cultivators from the Myriad Absolute Academy by now. Zhao Wuchi covered his head and squatted on the ground, unable to believe the truth.
In particular, he had boasted that he would lead Mingyue Academy to fourth place.
Zhao Wuchi squatted there for a long time, and the Mingyue Academy cultivators who passed by him all had a hint of reproach in their eyes.
"How could Zhao Wuchi be eliminated so easily by the cultivators of Wanjue Academy? It's really unfair."
"I'm speechless. Mingyue Academy has such a great advantage, so how come after Zhao Wuchi took command, he led fewer and fewer people from Mingyue Academy, and we still couldn't win even when we outnumbered them? This is just too much."
Zhao Wuchi listened to the accusations around him, unwilling to get up and face the facts. He thought about Jiang He's scheme and recalled his own carelessness and underestimation of the enemy.
His arrogance ruined him.
Zhao Wuchi looked at the various insults directed at him on his personal terminal, interspersed with a few words of comfort.
Stepping outside the university competition, Zhao Wuchi analyzed the situation again, combining the live stream and netizens' comments, and found that the scene that Jiang He and Li Ling deliberately put on for him this time was indeed brilliant.
Zhao Wuchi realized that if he were to do it all over again, he might still not be able to escape the trap set by Jiang He.
Moreover, who could imagine that there are poison masters at Wanjue Academy, and that they even kill scorpions on the spot?
If it weren't for the venom of the killer scorpion, Zhao Wuchi felt he might not have lost so quickly, but since he had already been eliminated, there was no point in saying anything more.
Zhao Wuchi didn't have time to send a message to remind Sha Liu before he was eliminated.
Sha Liu was overjoyed when he saw the message about Shangguan Linghu sent by his inside contact at Wanjue Academy.
Shangguan Linghu's plea for help on the academy channel indicates that the captain's team has already defeated Wanjue Academy, securing an overwhelming victory.
However, Sha Liu glanced at the world channel and saw that there was no news about the elimination of cultivators from Wanjue Academy, nor was there any news from the captain.
Knowing that cultivators from Wan Jue Academy would rush over after Shangguan Linghu sent out a request for help, Sha Liu decided to go and take a look. He led a small team of twenty people, and by going to participate in the melee, he could also lend a hand to Zhao Wuchi. Thinking that a large number of cultivators from Wan Jue Academy would be eliminated in the future, Sha Liu could not hide his joy.
Sha Liu's smile grew wider and wider. Overwhelmed by the joy of victory, Sha Liu charged straight at Jiang He, but only made it halfway there.
Sha Liu did notice something was amiss.
Zhao Wuchi's profile picture has turned gray.
The score following Zhao Wuchi's ID on the leaderboard has changed from black to gray, which means that Zhao Wuchi is currently in a dead state.
"Kill Liu, damn it, something's not right, how did the captain die?"
Sha Liu looked at the team and leaderboard again and again in disbelief, finally confirming that Zhao Wuchi was dead:
"I don't know either. We haven't received a single word from the captain."
At this moment, Sha Liu's emotions shifted from ecstasy to being gradually shocked by the news of Zhao Wuchi's elimination.
"It seems the other team members are still in the competition, so how come the captain was eliminated first?"
"The person next to Sha Liu asked."
After learning that Zhao Wuchi was eliminated, Sha Liu quickened his pace.
"I think Shangguan Linghu has found someone, the situation is a bit tense, we need to go there quickly."
In the heat of the moment, chaos ensued, and Sha Liu was now in a state of utter confusion.
I don't know if I can make it there in time.
The closer Sha Liu got to the location of the Wan Jue Academy cultivators, the more agitated the netizens became:
[Is this guy, Sekiro, stupid? His captain's dead, and he's still charging forward?]
He seems to have discovered Zhao Wuchi's death and feels there's still a glimmer of hope. He absolutely mustn't go to Jiang He's place...
Okay, I overestimated him. What's wrong with him going even after the captain is dead? Does he want to die even faster?
After watching the live stream, I can only say that Jiang He's move was truly brilliant. It was incredibly effective against Ming Yue's cultivators. First, she lured Zhao Wuchi over to kill him, then she used Shangguan Linghu to spread false information, and finally, she used Zhao Wuchi's death to lure Sha Liu over. She's so skilled at analyzing human nature!
Heh, it's not that Jiang He is so capable; it's clearly them who used all sorts of tricks to eliminate so many of our Mingyue cultivators.

As soon as Jiang He finished speaking, almost all the Mingyue Academy cultivators on the field died from the poison, and Sha Liu's side also discovered that their teammates' avatars were all black.
By now, Sha Liu's initial joy had gradually cooled down. He stopped in his tracks, about a minute before the last time the world channel sent out the death and elimination information for cultivators.
After hesitating for a moment, Sha Liu decided to stay put and wait to see what would happen.
[World Channel:]
Five players from Mingyue Academy have been eliminated, leaving 230 players on the field.
23 players from Jingxu Academy have been eliminated, leaving 377 players remaining.
Xiling Academy has eliminated 19 players, leaving 381 players on the field.
……

After the world channel updated the number of eliminated players, Sha Liu realized that Zhao Wuchi and his classmates who had surrounded the Wanjue Academy cultivators had all been eliminated.
Upon seeing this, Sha Liu no longer dared to step forward.
Upon seeing the message, Sha Liu planned to retreat, but having rushed too aggressively at the beginning, they were now very close to the group of cultivators from the Wan Jue Academy.
Jiang He even led her team forward a few steps before spotting Sha Liu.
Jiang He led 10 teams, and the moment she saw Sha Liu, the corners of her mouth slightly turned up:
"Oh, here comes someone to deliver their head from afar."
While Sha Liu was still pondering Jiang He's words, the twenty cultivators from Mingyue Academy and Wanjue Academy on their side clashed directly.
With Jiang He present, before Sha Liu could even speak, a fierce fight broke out between the two.
