429: Is Long Guo going crazy?

Rumble.

As all the contestants were teleported into the Secret Realm Dungeon, the giant teleportation gate standing in the center of the main arena disappeared with a boom.

At the same time.

“Next, let us all enjoy the wonderful performances of the two hundred and thirty-six teams in the team competition!”

The host on the high platform said loudly and expressively. As his voice fell, giant light screens shot up into the sky, forming a circle around the high platform.

The light screens were divided into small grids displaying the situation of each team that had entered the Secret Realm Dungeon. No matter where the audience sat, they could see everything clearly.

At this time, the audience watched the contestants’ performance in the Secret Realm Dungeon quietly. The team competition had just begun, and the Evil Blood Clan that had been refreshed were just appetizers, completely unable to showcase the strength of these Prodigies from various countries on Blue Star.

Exclamations, shock... those were reserved for the most intense moments of the competition!

However…

In this quiet atmosphere, many audience members in the stands suddenly whispered to each other, their faces showing expressions of surprise and uncertainty.

As the giant light screens unfolded, each grid not only displayed the scenes of various national teams in the Secret Realm Dungeon, but also, in the upper right corner of the grid, the identities and strengths of the five players in the team were marked.

Bored audience members checked the situations in various screens, and at the same time, observed whether there were any particularly eye-catching existences among the Prodigies from various countries. This observation immediately stunned them.

“Did the Dragon Country’s live broadcast screen make a typo?”

“This is the Global Prodigy Competition, how can a newly adult young fellow be on stage?”

“What’s going on? Wang Chen, isn’t this Dragon Country’s strongest freshman this year? How did he enter the Secret Realm Dungeon with Chu Youxiong and others?”

The live broadcast screen of Dragon Country attracted the most attention from the audience, but upon seeing the team list in the upper right corner of the screen, all the audience members were stunned.

Wang Chen, eighteen years old, a Rank 125 Giant-Beast Master.

Seeing this line of text, many audience members rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were hallucinating.

Looking around, none of the contestants participating in the Global Prodigy Competition had a Rank lower than 160, and all of them were twenty-one years old.

Eighteen-year-old, Rank 125 Wang Chen, among these contestants, was like a husky mixed into a wolf pack, incredibly conspicuous!

For a time, the audience’s eyes shook, and they couldn’t help but exclaim. No one expected that Dragon Country would cause such a “surprise” at the beginning of the Global Prodigy Competition.

Especially when the first wave of Evil Blood Clan appeared on the screen, and Chu Youxiong and others guarded the east, west, south, and north passages respectively, while Wang Chen sat obediently under the Totem Stone Tablet, the audience stands erupted.

“What the hell is Dragon Country doing? Sending a young fellow who just started university this year to compete, have they given up on this year’s team competition championship?”

“Damn it, that’s amazing! Could it be that Dragon Country’s contestants are confident that they can still beat the contestants from other countries and win the team competition championship even with four supporting one? This is too ridiculous?!!!”

“No way! No way! Does Dragon Country have to play so big? Only sending out four main players for the team competition, they are trying to slap the faces of other countries to death!”

All the audience members at this time were very confused. How much courage and confidence did Dragon Country have to be so reckless in such an important and globally watched event as the Global Prodigy Competition!

One must know that the Global Prodigy Competition not only determines the number one Prodigy of Blue Star’s young generation, but also involves a very large distribution of resources for the next three years.

In such an important event, sending out four main players and one dead weight is no longer recklessness; it’s practically courting death!

“Hehe! It seems that continuously winning several Global Prodigy Competition championships and the title of number one has made Dragon Country completely arrogant, not putting the contestants from other countries in their eyes at all!”

“I want to see where they will put their faces when they are eliminated from the team competition and the championship is taken by other countries!”

“How arrogant! None of the contestants from Eagle Country and West France Empire are weaker than Dragon Country’s. Now, with their four supporting one, they are directly at a disadvantage compared to other national teams. Just watch, when the team competition enters the Late Stage, the swarming Evil Blood Clan will definitely break their Totem Stone Tablet!”

Shocked discussions were everywhere in the audience stands, and many people at this moment sneered, their words full of disdain for Dragon Country.

Many people in the audience had heard about the commotion Wang Chen of Dragon Country caused on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield through their respective channels.

The only Genius to appear on the Ten Thousand Realms Prodigy Ranking in seven hundred years, this title was indeed very splendid, and no one would doubt Wang Chen’s prospects for growth, but…

Coming to participate in the Global Prodigy Competition at Rank 125, this was simply a joke!

In the eyes of all the audience, Wang Chen, even if he had combat power far exceeding his own Rank, even if he killed Takizawa Hideaki in the Dawn Fortress life-and-death battle, he did not have this qualification.

Which of the Prodigies from various countries participating did not have combat power far exceeding their Rank? Which one was not several times stronger than Takizawa Hideaki?

“It seems that Dragon Country is truly indulging in past glory now. Even an important event like the Global Prodigy Competition can be treated as child’s play!”

“It’s not surprising. Since the last Global Prodigy Competition ended, Dragon Country hasn’t produced any outstanding Prodigies in the past three years. Chu Youxiong and Chai Yue’s achievements in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield are also far inferior to Carlos and others from Eagle Country. Now that a Wang Chen has appeared, they naturally have to spare no effort to promote him.”

“Indeed, Dragon Country has been experiencing a generational gap in recent years. The limelight of the younger generation has been completely suppressed by other countries. Now that a peerless Prodigy has finally appeared, they are eager to push him to the forefront to show off, without any demeanor of a powerful nation.”

“It’s a pity. If Wang Chen were given more time to grow, he could indeed contend with these Prodigies who are older than him, but now… hehe!”

Many people in the audience sneered, guessing Dragon Country’s intentions, and all believed that Dragon Country had made a foolish move this time.

No one believed that Wang Chen had obtained his spot in the Global Prodigy Competition based on his own strength.

Just like the audience.

The team leaders of various participating countries also thought the same in their hearts, but they had seen the roster last night, so their expressions were all quite calm, only mixed with disdain and mockery in their eyes.

Except for the Sakura Country team leader, who sat among the many team leaders with a body like a dwarf, his mouth was almost split to the back of his ears.
