426: The little mouse that can't be on the table

The appearance of the Day-Never-Setting Empire's contestants seemed to blow a horn, and after them, the strong teams from previous Global Prodigy Competitions successively appeared outside the Long Teng Hotel.

The arrival of teams from various powerful nations directly brought a carnival to all the reporters present.

The flashes of light flickered continuously, and the sound of pressing shutters even drowned out the clamor in the venue.

Freshly released lineups of the major powerful nations' teams appeared directly on the media of various countries on Blue Star via the internet, satisfying the curiosity of those anxiously waiting spectators.

Outside the Long Teng Hotel, the appearance of various national teams was also coming to an end, but the reporters present not only showed no disappointment, but instead became even more expectant.

Almost all of the top ten from previous competitions had already arrived at the Long Teng Hotel, and now, only the undisputed overlords who had firmly dominated the Global Prodigy Competition remained to arrive.

Everyone wanted to know what magnificent lineup the veteran top three overlords would send out for this year's Global Prodigy Competition.

"Look quickly, the Eagle Country team has arrived."

At this moment, exclamations rang out among the crowd, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

However, the gaze of most people quickly swept past the two Eight-Turn Eagle Country leaders walking at the forefront, all concentrating on a young man with an explosive hairstyle.

This young man was tall and strong, dressed in a well-fitting suit, but his muscles were so defined that they stretched the suit tightly. His heavy aura left no doubt that this body contained enough power to shatter mountains.

In fact, at the first sight of this person, many reporters worried whether the young man would directly burst his suit if he exerted himself.

Although the young man's attire actually resembled that of a bodyguard and would be unremarkable in a crowd, his explosive hairstyle completely overshadowed this preconceived notion, making it impossible to ignore his presence.

Carlos, the strongest of the younger generation in the Eagle Country, a Rank 179 Thunder Warrior, who was promoted to Deputy Legion Commander of Free Fortress with a Six-Turn Rank based on his military achievements.

Although his aura was not apparent at this time, the oppressive feeling he brought was even stronger than that of Lionel who entered earlier. Upon seeing him, the reporters dared not make a sound, only carefully pressing their shutters to collect information, as if afraid of disturbing Carlos.

Soon.

When the Eagle Country One line entered the Long Teng Hotel, the reporters present all breathed a long sigh of relief, as if to release all the suppression they had just felt.

Among the reporters, there were not a few Awakeners with decent strength. At this moment, their simultaneous action directly stirred up sounds of wind and thunder outside the Long Teng Hotel, creating a rather strange sight.

When Wang Chen and his group arrived here, this was the scene they witnessed.

...

"Why do these guys look like they've just had a fright?"

"Could it be that my appearance gave them too much pressure?"

In the team, Chai Yue looked around with a strange expression, unable to help but mutter.

"Hehe!"

Lu Tingyi, who was beside him, pouted, looking at Chai Yue with a hint of disdain.

And it wasn't just her; Chu Youxiong and Du Jijun subtly moved away, putting a little distance between themselves and Chai Yue.

This scene made Chai Yue feel incredibly sad.

"No, I just spoke a great truth, what do you guys mean by this?"

He glared at them indignantly, then happily patted Junior Apprentice-Brother Wang Chen's shoulder:

"It's still Junior Apprentice-Brother Wang Chen who has good taste."

Hearing this, Wang Chen's mouth twitched, feeling a bit helpless at Chai Yue's erratic behavior.

He had also wanted to move just now, but Chu Youxiong and Du Jijun had already taken their positions, leaving him no room to intervene.

"What Senior Disciple Chai said is all correct."

Wang Chen reluctantly agreed, then intended to subtly flick Chai Yue's hand away. Reporters from various countries were all here, and he didn't want to become tomorrow's shocking headline in major media outlets because of this "intimate contact."

However...

Just as Wang Chen was about to act, he suddenly felt something and turned his head, locking onto a hidden figure among the reporters, his eyes turning cold.

This person was wearing a loose black robe and a hat, looking no different from the surrounding reporters, but just now, he clearly felt a surge of killing intent emanating from this person, and the target of the killing intent was himself.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing Wang Chen's change, Chu Youxiong and the others couldn't help but look over.

"Nothing."

Wang Chen retracted his gaze and smiled, not mentioning his discovery.

Although the person was heavily disguised, he still discovered a trace: the sleeve under the black robe was embroidered with the mark of Sakura Valley.

Clearly, this was trouble brought on by killing Takizawa Hideaki at Dawn Fortress earlier.

However, he didn't care about this at all. During the Global Prodigy Competition, he had no need to worry about his safety. If a strong person from Sakura Country made a move, Lei Meng and Pei Qian would deal with him, and if it were a contestant from Sakura Country...

"Hehe!"

"A bunch of guys who can't make it to the big stage!"

With a cold sneer in his heart, Wang Chen followed Lei Meng and Pei Qian into the Long Teng Hotel.

And after they left, a burst of noise immediately erupted among the quiet reporters.

"Oh my god! I just felt like I brushed shoulders with death!"

"It's terrifying, who is that guy? For a moment just now, I almost peed my pants!"

"Is this a hidden Genius from Dragon Country? I feel like his strength is even greater than Carlos and the others!"

Especially in the direction Wang Chen had looked, the reporters were all moving their stiff limbs, their Faces still showing lingering shock.

Wang Chen's cold gaze just now almost made them think they were about to meet God in the next second.

And among these reporters, the one whose heart was most shocked was Takizawa Toshiaki, a Sakura Country contestant disguised and hiding there.

He never expected that he would be discovered by Wang Chen just by looking at him and subconsciously leaking a trace of killing intent.

"This guy's senses are so sharp!"

"His strength is probably more than a notch stronger than when he killed Hideaki!"

Thinking with shock in his heart, Takizawa Toshiaki's Face was extremely ugly, and his eyes still held deep shock.

He and Takizawa Hideaki were biological brothers, and their profession was also Onmyoji, but his strength was greater than Takizawa Hideaki's, having reached Rank 175, making him a main force in Sakura Country's competing team.

He had secretly blended into the reporter's group, intending to investigate the strength of the Dragon Country team and prepare in advance.

At the same time, he wanted to see if there was any opportunity to make some small moves to embarrass Wang Chen, and incidentally spread it through the presence of reporters from various countries, to make Dragon Country lose Face.

But he didn't expect that before he even made a move, he, who thought he was well-hidden, was discovered.

"This guy's strength is probably not below mine; the previous plan needs to be re-evaluated."

Muttering in his heart, Takizawa Toshiaki glanced at the retreating figures of Wang Chen and his group, then quietly left the crowd.
