Reincarnated as a Mosquito, the School Beauty I Sucked to Tears is a Reborn Empress

The number of Star Source Crystal Cores is the key to winning the Three Kingdoms Grand Competition!

Based on previous competitions, the total number collected by all the teams combined usually only ends up being around ten.

Therefore, every single Star Source Crystal Core is crucial and could potentially be the key to victory.

Under everyone’s gaze, Nangong Sheng clenched his fists and shook his head.

”I... don’t have any.”

Nangong Sheng lowered his head as he spoke.

Suddenly, he spoke up again.

”But, some of our other members did collect Star Source Crystal Cores. By the time I was chased out, the Great Xia Team had already collected five of them!”

’Five?’

It’s been less than an hour. Five is indeed a pretty good result!

Everyone’s mood eased a little.

Ye Qingzhou nodded and said,

”What about Gu Yuexi? Did she collect all five of those Star Source Crystal Cores?”

Stunned by the question, Nangong Sheng shook his head and said,

”Gu Yuexi... she, along with that mosquito, was Taming one at the beginning, but then she split off from us.”

”She said she had her own things to do...”

The moment he finished speaking, everyone frowned, their dissatisfaction showing.

”What does that mean? What could she possibly have to do that’s more important than Great Xia’s victory?”

”Exactly. Leaving the team on her own, that’s such a display of disunity. Does she really think she’s the Empress?”

”You can’t say that. What if Gu Yuexi has another way? Don’t forget, in the academy competition, she practically won single-handedly.”

Chen Shouzheng spoke up, defending Gu Yuexi.

”Hmph, this is the Three Kingdoms Grand Competition, not some child’s play like your academy competition!”

”I’m telling you, this Gu Yuexi can’t be relied on. In the end, we have to count on the scions of our Ten Great Clans.”

Just as everyone was grumbling in discontent,

Suddenly, atop the mountain, the spatial Wormhole began to fluctuate again.

Everyone froze, stopped arguing, and looked toward the Secret Realm Exit once more.

’This time?’

’Whose members would it be now?’

At the Secret Realm Exit, a figure materialized out of thin air once again!

It was another member from Great Xia...

Wait, it’s not over!

The spatial fluctuations at the Secret Realm Exit continued. Following right behind that figure, two more emerged from the Wormhole.

They were also Great Xia’s contestants.

And the spatial fluctuations were *still* going!

Just like that!

Figure after figure teleported out of the Secret Realm Exit.

Without exception, all of them were contestants from Great Xia. Each one looked utterly wretched, and some were even significantly injured.

Finally, the spatial fluctuations stopped.

At the Secret Realm Exit, a total of 17 more figures had emerged!

The Great Xia Team had 20 contestants in total. It had been less than an hour... Counting Nangong Sheng from before, that meant 18 people were already out.

Inside the Secret Realm, only 2 contestants from Great Xia remained!

Everyone’s expression changed.

Drastically!

The atmosphere seemed to drop to a freezing point in an instant.

The same was true for Ye Qingzhou. However, he quickly sent people to bring those on the mountaintop back to the Great Xia camp.

Soon, the situation became clear.

It was much like Nangong Sheng’s situation.

The teams from the Philippines and Yue Country had joined forces to hunt down the Great Xia Team. Among them, two foreign aids from the Island Country and the Goryeo Kingdom had actually reached the Sixth-Grade Early Stage.

And one foreign aid from the White Eagle Empire had even reached the Sixth-Grade Late Stage!

Combined with the numerical superiority from the two countries’ alliance, the Great Xia Team was simply no match.

All they could do was run!

The good news was that although many of these eighteen contestants were significantly injured, none had died.

The bad news was, the number of Star Source Crystal Cores these eighteen contestants brought out was... zero!

That’s right, not even the five that Nangong Sheng had mentioned earlier!

The Great Xia Team had its geniuses too, and they had indeed managed to collect five Star Source Crystal Cores in a short time. But all five of those fucking Crystal Cores were stolen!

If they hadn’t handed over those five Star Source Crystal Cores, these contestants might not have made it out of the Secret Realm at all!

”I’m sorry... City Lord Ye. We did our best. I desperately tried to protect the Crystal Cores, but they still took them.”

One of the heavily injured students said through gritted teeth, his eyes red.
