65: Chapter 65 Seven-Aperture Genius, Qian Duoduo

After the referee's voice fell, Lin Fan remained standing in place, hands in his pockets, his expression as usual.

But inside, he was already blooming with joy.

Top five? The only seedling from Class 3? The only dark horse?

Why do these words sound so pleasant?

Su Xiaoxiao leaned over, staring at him suspiciously.

"Lin Fan, why is the corner of your mouth twitching?"

Lin Fan remained expressionless.

"It's not twitching, you saw wrong."

Xu Ziyan also leaned over.

"That's not right, you're definitely laughing."

Lin Fan maintained a deadpan face.

"I am thinking about tactics."

Sun Wei asked naively.

"Squad leader, why do you have to hold back laughter when thinking about tactics?"

Qin Ling spoke up for once, saying softly.

"He is happy."

Lin Fan: "..."

He took a deep breath and gave up the disguise.

"Fine, fine, fine, I'm happy, okay? We're in the top five, can't a person be happy for a moment?"

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes.

"If you're happy, be happy, why act so deep?"

Lin Fan couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her and looked towards the ring.

The referee was organizing the list, preparing for the next round of draws.

Soon, the captains of the five teams were called onto the stage.

When Lin Fan walked up, the other four captains were already standing there.

Ye Wushuang was still standing at the very front, his expression still indifferent.

Beside him stood a girl with flowing long hair. Wang Churan, from Class 1, with a cold and aloof face, quite the queenly vibe.

Next to her was a chubby boy, with an innocent smile on his face.

Qian Duoduo, from Class 1, rumored to be truly wealthy.

The last one was a tall, thin girl, Wu Yue, from Class 2.

Her expression was a bit nervous, obviously knowing that her team advanced by luck.

The referee brought out the draw box.

"Five teams, we will draw lots to determine the matchups. One team gets a bye to directly enter the top three, the remaining four will fight in pairs."

After a brief explanation, the draw began.

Lin Fan reached into the box and pulled out a ball.

He unfolded it to look — Group A.

He looked at the others.

Ye Wushuang drew the bye again.

Wang Churan drew Group B.

Qian Duoduo drew Group A.

Wu Yue drew Group B.

The result was clear at a glance.

Group A: Lin Fan Team vs Qian Duoduo Team

Group B: Wang Churan Team vs Wu Yue Team

Bye: Ye Wushuang Team

A buzz of discussion broke out in the stands.

"Lin Fan Team against Class 1 again?"

"Qian Duoduo is a Genius who has opened seven armor apertures; he is only slightly inferior to Ye Wushuang."

"Wu Yue Team's luck has run out; running into Wang Churan, they will definitely be crushed."

"Ye Wushuang got a bye again, I suspect the school arranged it on purpose..."

Qian Duoduo looked at Lin Fan, his chubby face wearing a bright smile.

"Lin Fan, right? I've heard so much about you. Please go easy on me later."

Lin Fan nodded.

"I wouldn't call it going easy, let's learn from each other."

Qian Duoduo smiled until his eyes narrowed.

"Humble, too humble. I just like people who are humble like you."

Looking at his innocent smiling face, Lin Fan became more vigilant.

Old Mo once said, dogs that bite often don't bark...

The draw ended, and Lin Fan walked back to his team.

Xu Ziyan immediately came up to meet him, asking nervously.

"How was it? Who did you draw?"

Lin Fan handed the draw slip to him.

"Qian Duoduo."

Xu Ziyan's face fell halfway.

"That fatty? I heard he is a seven armor aperture Genius, a Level 20 Armor Warrior, only one step away from being an Armor Master..."

Su Xiaoxiao leaned over, unusually putting away her smile.

"Qian Duoduo, his Aptitude is second only to Ye Wushuang. His Armor Spirit is a mid-grade Profound Spirit, the Three-Legged Golden Toad, Level 20. It is said his defense is extremely strong. And one of his Armorization skills allows him to spit money to attack."

As she spoke, seeing Sun Wei holding back laughter on the side, she went up and punched him.

"Don't laugh, his family is truly rich enough to use gold coins as hidden weapons."

Sun Wei held his arm, looking aggrieved.

"I wasn't laughing, I just thought it was interesting..."

Just then, Qin Ling also suddenly spoke.

"There is one more person to watch out for."

Lin Fan looked at her.

"Who?"

Qin Ling was still looking down, her voice very soft.

"Zhao Yuan. Also seven armor apertures, Level 19 Armor Warrior, his Armor Spirit is a low-grade Profound Spirit, the Diamond Scorpion, Level 20. He specializes in ground control and poison-type attacks, and works very well with Qian Duoduo."

The Qian Duoduo Team is indeed strong.

With two seven armor aperture Geniuses anchoring the team, the remaining three are not weak either.

One is called Shi Lei, Level 17 Armor Warrior, his Armor Spirit is a Level 18 high-grade mortal spirit, the Golden-Armed Ape, Armorization part is left arm, attack power is quite good.

One is called Lin Xiaoyue, Level 17 Armor Warrior, her Armor Spirit is a high-grade mortal spirit, the Martial Arts Rabbit, Armorization part is right leg, specializes in speed and jumping, and also grants the contractor impressive leg strength.

The last one is called Zhou Yang, Level 16 Armor Warrior, his Armor Spirit is a Level 17 high-grade mortal spirit, the Lightning Mouse, Armorization part is right hand, specializes in thunder-type ranged attacks.

The five-person configuration is balanced, with almost no weaknesses.

Xu Ziyan swallowed.

"Can we win this?"

Lin Fan glanced at him.

"Please remove the word 'can'."

Five minutes later, A-zone ring.

"Group A top-five match, Class 3 Lin Fan Team vs Class 1 Qian Duoduo Team! Will both teams please come on stage!"

The stands erupted in deafening cheers.

"Lin Fan Team! Dark horse! Dark horse!"

"Qian Duoduo! Take them down!"

Lin Fan led his team onto the ring.

Opposite, the Qian Duoduo Team was already standing ready.

The five of them stood in a line, with quite an Aura.

The referee raised his hand.

"Both sides prepare! Three, two, one! Start!"

The moment the whistle blew, the five members of the Qian Duoduo Team moved at the same time.

Shi Lei was the first to rush forward.

He raised his left arm, golden light flashed, and a golden arm armor with a rich metallic texture spread from his palm upward, quickly covering his entire left arm.

The entire arm was a circle thicker than his right arm, full of a sense of power.

Lin Fan's left eye felt slightly warm, and information appeared.

Lin Xiaoyue followed closely behind, using force with her right leg.

Silvery-white light extended upward from her ankle, condensing into streamlined leg armor on the outside of her lower and upper leg.

The leg armor was thin and form-fitting, but there were obvious reinforced structures at the knees and ankles, with a short blade extending from the heel, gleaming coldly in the sun.
