Chapter 807 opens with great fanfare, but Zhang San is somewhat disappointed.
As Orange looked down, teams dressed in dark uniforms appeared on the field below. If it weren't for the different logos and flags on their uniforms, one would have thought they were all from the same sect.
After searching carefully, Ju Zi found many familiar faces.
Off the field.
As the leader of the Aodu team, Feng Shier stood at the front of her team, casually looking at the other teams. Behind her was Feng Shiwu.
"Second sister, according to eldest sister's intelligence, all the forces under the boss have gathered here. It seems they're quite easy to find?" Feng Shiwu looked across to the opposite side, which was the entrance area of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Following Feng Shiwu's gaze, Feng Shier saw a group of people dressed in dark-colored, white-trimmed outfits with a blue snowflake embroidered on their left chests in the area of the Heavenly Soul Empire. She recognized the person leading the group from Feng Shiyi's data access.
Ye Ling Shuang, the owner of Yuheng Tower.
She was the person in charge of the project when the Aodu Chamber of Commerce mobilized supplies and transported them to Yuhenglou for support.
Ye Ling Shuang seemed to have brought more than one team with her; there was also a team next to her with snowflakes embroidered on their left chests and wearing black cloaks.
"Ye Ling Shuang has cooperated with the three hunter teams that were sent to provide support. I saw different members from the three teams." Feng Twelve frowned slightly.
I never imagined that Ye Ling Shuang was so ambitious. She actually managed to gather two teams. It's clearly the youngest branch, so she should have a lot of things to do and be short-handed.
As Feng Twelve observed Ye Ling Shuang's group, Ye Ling Shuang bit her nails and said through gritted teeth to Ye Yuan beside her, "Ye Yuan, do you see that group standing in the left corner? That's the Aodu Chamber of Commerce's group; there are a total of five of them!"
Ye Yuan glanced at the Aodu team, which was huddled in the corner and seemed to have no presence, and said helplessly, "Patriarch, the Aodu Chamber of Commerce is the headquarters and is extremely large. It is not difficult to gather five teams in the name of its affiliated chambers or branches. Besides, strictly speaking, they are our allies."
"Should we work together?"
Ye Ling Shuang bit her nails and shook her head. "No way! You all need to give it your all! I've been eyeing the boss's reward for a long time! You guys have to make me proud!"
Seeing Ye Ling Shuang suddenly become so full of fighting spirit, Ye Yuan sighed slowly. The opponents were all veterans. To be honest, the Ye family's chances of winning against the well-established headquarters in Aodu were not very high.
Ye Yuan sighed softly, her gaze shifting to Xingluo's entrance area.
She remembered that the Xingluo branch seemed to have been established around the same time as the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, only a little earlier.
The entrance area is marked by stars.
Teams from Xingluo entered the arena one after another.
"Hey Wu, why can't I see any teams from other departments?"
"Young Master Luo Li, other departments should have some kind of uniform, concealed markings waiting for us to discover. We just need to search patiently."
The team representing Shadow Stream, led by Wang Wu and captained by Dai Luoli, entered the arena.
They only have one team.
Wearing glasses and exuding a scholarly air, Zhang San sat behind Dai Luoli. Hearing Dai Luoli's question, he smiled and pointed to the opposite side, saying, "Young Master Luoli, the signals from the other two branches are quite clear. The team with the snowflake logo at Yuheng Tower, while the Aodu Chamber of Commerce has a separate small area for gathering."
Following Zhang San's clue, Dai Luoli looked over and immediately found the other two teams.
When he saw the number of participating teams in the other two clubs, his face fell. "Old Zhang, Aodu has five teams, and Yuhenglou has two, while we only have one lone team! Damn it! We've lost in terms of numbers!"
Zhang San pushed up his glasses and smiled helplessly, "There's nothing I can do about it, Young Master Luo Li. We Shadow Stream have existed for a much longer time, and none of us are teenagers anymore. If it hadn't been held at the perfect time, a few months later, I would have been over the age limit."
Dai Luoli sighed, nudged Ji Juechen behind her, and said, "Do you think the boss will think we're slacking off?"
Ji Juechen glanced at Dai Luoli without saying a word. He couldn't even participate in the competition if he wanted to cross the age limit, so he could only come here to be a support staff member. He was furious.
Wang Wu slapped Dai Luoli on the head. "Don't overthink it! Just focus on making it to the finals, that's the best answer you can give your boss!"
Dai Luoli rubbed the back of her head, her gaze sweeping across the direction of Shrek Academy before landing on Dai Huabin, who had blond hair on his head.
"It's just a competition! We have to get the boss's reward!"
As the last team entered the stadium, the atmosphere reached a fever pitch.
Jing Hongchen bowed slightly to Xu Tianran before flying to the center of the square.
"I, Mirror of the Mortal World, am the chief referee for this competition!"
"Your Majesty, please declare the opening!"
All eyes turned to the viewing platform.
Xu Tianran floated forward two steps, and Feng Hua held up a megaphone in front of him.
"I am very pleased to see so many talented young people and geniuses gathered in Mingdu, showcasing their abilities and demonstrating the educational strength of various sects!"
"The competition is about to begin, and though I have a thousand words to say, they all boil down to this one sentence."
"We hope that all young talents will demonstrate their abilities and win the top prize."
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the arena was ignited again, and countless cheers resounded through the sky.
All the teams were ignited with fighting spirit amidst the wave-like cheers.
Applause, cheers, honors, prizes—they want it all!
The competition has 191 teams. The rules of this competition have been revamped, and there are ten arenas. The first event will be the individual elimination rounds, which are expected to last five days, day and night.
With the Tang Clan's token in hand, Tang Ya learned from the competition organizing committee about her team's temporary rest area.
"Hmm, Tang Clan, is that right? Your rest area is in the third row of the second section. This competition is sponsored by the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, and Tang Clan is a close partner of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce," a staff member of the organizing committee said with a smile.
Upon hearing about the Aodu Chamber of Commerce and glancing at the VIP lounge area in her hand, Tang Ya immediately realized that this was most likely Ye Nanxiao's arrangement. She happily went back and led everyone to the VIP lounge area.
The VIP lounge is much more luxurious than the regular lounge, with adjustable sunshades, deluxe reclining chairs, beverage and snack service, and a real-time projection screen, etc. The regular lounge doesn't have as many amenities; apart from the chairs and hot water sunshades, that's about it.
Shrek's team was positioned next to Tang Sect's, and Qiu'er was already comfortably reclining on a deck chair, enjoying snacks and fruit.
Huo Yuhao quietly observed the other sects and forces in the VIP lounge. Without a doubt, the Sun Moon Team was resting first, followed by the top five academies of the Sun Moon Empire, and then the teams of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
Among them, several teams dressed in black uniforms caught Huo Yuhao's attention.
Ji Juechen, meditating with his sword in hand, stood out too much among the spectators.
So much so that Huo Yuhao spotted him at a glance.
"Ji Juechen? He's here too? What's his team? Star Luo Shadow Stream?" Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up with purple light as he saw the flag of Ji Juechen's team.
Beside the flag, a refined-looking man wearing glasses seemed to notice Huo Yuhao's gaze, turned around and smiled at him.
"A simpleton, a bit silly, a big guy, with eyes that light up—that must be the boss's brother." Zhang San smiled slightly at Huo Yuhao and raised the can of cola in his hand.
The latest novel is first published here!
Seeing Zhang San's reaction, Huo Yuhao scratched his head, looked around, and picked up a bottle of mineral water.
"Hehe, he's quite cute." Zhang San reached out and touched Wang Wu.
Wang Wu turned to look at Huo Yuhao, nodded, and said nothing.
Dai Luoli stared silently at Dai Huabin in the Shrek team.
Zhang San looked around and saw that his teammates were all making their own preparations, leaving him alone with nothing to do.
"Ugh, why didn't Old Li come? I'm so bored."
"Buzzing"
Zhang San took out his soul-guided communicator from his pocket and checked the encrypted information on it.
After a short while, Zhang San deciphered the encrypted message and asked Wang Wu, "The boss is looking for us, Lao Wang, are you going or should I go?"
"Go ahead," Wang Wu said calmly.
Zhang San put away his soul-guided communicator, straightened his clothes, and headed towards the restrooms in the square.
After entering the plaza passage, Zhang San quietly crept in.
Two waiters carrying fruit trays entered from VIP stand number ten.
A moment later, two waiters came out of the door, but their figures were somewhat different.
Inside the stands, Feng Shiyi sat on a VIP sofa, her eyes fixed on the game on the field.
Zhang San, who had switched identities with the bodyguards in the stands, fastened his tie and announced, "Shadow Stream Report."
Ye Ningshuang bowed to Feng Shiyi and said, "Reporting from Yuheng Tower."
"No need for formalities, let's cut to the chase and tell you two things," Feng Shiyi said.
"Don't forget to contact those sects on the target list. Don't reveal too much of our 'unique characteristics' during the competition."
Zhang San nodded. "The new weapons have been equipped, and they won't reveal the hunter's weaponry."
"The Ye family has a lineage of martial spirits, and the Jade Balance Tower is ready," Ye Ling Shuang replied.
Feng Shiyi nodded. "That's the first thing. The second thing, the magic array, are you all ready?"
"Two more buildings are still missing from the Yuheng Tower area."
"Shadow Stream will be able to complete the mission in two more hours."
Feng Shiyi pondered for a moment, then waved his hand. "Finish it as soon as possible. The boss has many other safety measures in mind, but spatial teleportation is of paramount importance. Also, all of you, keep it under control and don't get carried away."
Feng Shiyi said this while staring at Zhang San.
Zhang San wore an awkward yet polite smile. "How could that be? I only plan to fight using soul tools this time, just a small skirmish."
Upon hearing Zhang San's answer, Feng Shiyi snorted coldly, "Zhang San, I still remember the code name the boss gave you that perfectly suited your image: Outlaw?"
Ye Ling Shuang watched the show with her arms crossed. As the least senior person, she had no say at this time.
Zhang San touched his nose and tentatively asked, "Then I won't use the front tooth cannon?"
"Are you trying to blow the arena into the sky?" Feng Shiyi cursed through gritted teeth.
"Oh, then it's fine if you don't need it," Zhang San said with some regret.
Having spent a long time with his boss, he also developed a fear of not having enough firepower.
