Chapter 38: Reactions from All
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Team Zhang San’s fight was the first battle of the competition. Not only did it cause great sensation in the major live broadcast rooms, everyone was also praising how easily they had defeated their opponents.
Even the rostrum was talking about it.
“That battle was rather interesting. Obviously, both of them were still exploring, but they suddenly encountered a wild monster and a team of contestants. However, not far away, Su Bai’s team neither moved nor was discovered.
“Interesting. It seems that new tricks have appeared in this year’s competition.”
Xing Wuji, the curator of Xingyu Gymnasium, looked at the big screen and laughed with interest.
The position of all contestants was shown on the display screen in front of the podium, and information involving the contestants’ names and their pets could also be checked.
“Curator, do you think Su Bai’s team has any hope of winning?”
Li Feng, curator of Carp Mountain Gymnasium, asked with a smile.
“Of course not. No matter how many tricks and schemes they play, it’ll all be in vain in the face of absolute strength. Even if his team can beat Zhang San and Li Si’s, it’ll be in vain once they finally face off with the four players with warlord pets. Players with only mid-level servants can’t defeat the ones with warlords.
“I must admire their courage to fight those beyond their levels, though, yet everything else is hopeless.”
“Haha! I knew it. This year’s favorite to win the championship is the water-fire twins’ team. Even if their strengths are scattered, few are worthy of being their opponents.”
Li Feng laughed.
“I think Zhao Li from Iron Second Middle School has great hopes of winning the championship, too. His Flame Crow is well cultivated and has completed an evolution while at the servant level from the young Flame Crow to the grown Flame Crow. Its strength is much stronger than the average warlord pets, too.
“Coupled with its control of the high-level servant skill, Thorn Body, it really can’t be underestimated.”
The director of Green Fruit Plum Research Institute analyzed.
“Zhao Li, that boy’s strength is pretty good; I think he indeed has a great chance of winning.”
Xing Wuji made a light comment.
“Hey, President Gao, you haven’t said a single word. Which contestant do you like? I heard that you had accepted a genius trainer. I wonder what his name is…”
The director voiced with a smile.
Gao An, this tall old man, looked at the display in front, his shiny bald head reflecting the sun.
He was arrogant because of his capabilities. Whether it was Xingyu or Carp Mountain, either was nothing more than a four- or five-star small gymnasium. Although Green Fruit Plum was just a small research institute, too, he had reluctantly accepted their invitation because of their research on plums.
If they had not paid for that, he would never have attended such a small competition.
However, he did not expect his newly accepted disciple to be here as well, and the d*mn thing was that the boy did not come to greet him earlier.
Hmph. I’ll watch and see how you’ll win the competition this time.
He snorted unhappily, his expression still indifferent. “I’m optimistic about Su Bai. As for my apprentice, let’s not talk about him.”
His answer made the two curators feel a little awkward.
“Haha! Elder Gao’s opinions are always so different.”
…
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already over 4 p.m. More than eight hours had passed since the morning. The number of eliminated people from the competition had reached more than 1,100, and only a little more than 800 were left in the field.
During this period, the most outstanding performance was not the four Pet Tamers with warlord pets but rather Zhang San and Li Si’s group, who had harvested more than 300 number tags and fought more than thirty battles.
Thanks to Gao An, the director of the contest had put up a location map on Su Bai-Chen Rouxue’s team and Zhang San-Li Si’s. This way, the audience watching the live broadcast would understand what was going on.
Since that afternoon, a few people had been hot on the topic, all looking forward to the two teams meeting.
“D*mn! Zhang San and Li Si are completely unaware that they’re like hired thugs. When will Su Bai and Chen Rouxue, this pair of master tacticians, cut the leeks duo? I’m really looking forward to it!”
“Looking forward to the battle between the leek and the leek-cutter. I think it’s coming soon.”
“I think it’s coming soon, too. Pigs should be fattened before they’re slaughtered, but I’d like to see them being slaughtered in turn. That’ll be interesting.”
“Anticipating. +1”
“I want to see the master tacticians have a comeback. +1”
“Hey, what’s the point of being a master tactician? Can four warlords be defeated by such measly tricks?”
“The water-fire twins are the best!”
“I like the twin sisters; cheering them on!”
“Stop scolding me, water-fire twin fans; I’ll become their fan, okay?”
…
Besides the major live broadcast rooms, most students of Fourth High School were also gathered in their classrooms; they were all watching the live broadcast of the game. Su Bai and Chen Rouxue were the only players representing their school in the competition.
Furthermore, they had not been eliminated yet. Yang Zhou was bragging on the sidelines, making the students have a different expectation for them.
“I don’t think they’ll win. They’re both players with mid-level slaves. Even if they attack secretly, they can’t defeat Zhang San and Li Si.
“And what pig raising? Maybe Zhang San’s team has long discovered them and is just using them.”
Guo Dong glanced at the screen disdainfully, thinking that Su Bai had overestimated himself by daring to compete with his mediocre pet.
His Lava Dog was about to be promoted to a high-level servant, yet he was still not confident. That classmate of his definitely had a 90% chance of losing.
The most hateful thing was that the fool had actually tricked their class monitor into going. It was simply hateful.
That kid was definitely using the competition as an excuse to be alone with Chen Rouxue.
This thought made him so annoyed and angry. He was annoyed that Su Bai had made the class monitor lie to him and angry that he had not thought of this scheme himself.
Although the girl was not the most beautiful female in the class, she had a self-assured temperament and was very generous. Furthermore, she had never judged others based on their academic performances and treated her classmates equally. Because of such traits, many of her peers secretly fancied her.
Including Guo Dong.
It was just that, because of various inferiority complexes and other reasons, no one had dared to confess to her.
“Let’s go and have dinner. There’s nothing to watch.”
Picking up his phone and standing up, he left with a face full of irritability and disdain.
“Su Bai wants to embarrass himself there and even tricked the class monitor into going, too. This is too much.”
“I really hope that the class monitor will see through his self-righteous mask.”
Liu Le and the others chipped in with disdain as they left with Guo Dong. They might not have been so vocal before, but it did not matter now.
The spirit division was a new starting point, and they were all working hard, thinking that they would not be worse off than Su Bai. Sooner or later, they could beat good students like him.
