1024: Opponent, Team 1 of Phoenix Feather Country
After the topic about Qing Youyu ended, Liangcai Sword continued to ask, "Captain, who is our opponent today?"
The opponent matchups are updated every night after the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination begins.
Du Xingchen didn't return last night, so naturally, everyone had no news about the opponent.
"Opponent."
Du Xingchen took out the team's number plate from his storage ring.
Speaking of which, he was so busy distributing flyers last night that he completely forgot about this matter.
"Today's opponent is..."
After Du Xingchen took out the number plate, his teammates nearby also gathered around.
"Phoenix Feather Team!" Liangcai Sword suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Is it the team carefully cultivated by the Royal Family behind Qing Youyu?" Sun Yingying asked uncertainly.
"That's right."
Liangcai Sword nodded.
Sun Yingying added another question, "The team that asked Qing Youyu to be a substitute for them, are they our opponent today?!"
"It is this team!"
When this information was confirmed, a strange look also appeared on Du Xingchen's face.
This opponent, who the protagonist group met in the later stages of the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination in the original work, unexpectedly appeared so early!
"I have to tell Qing Youyu this news! We absolutely have to blast those guys on the other side when we get on stage later! Let those short-sighted guys from Phoenix Feather Kingdom see who the strong team really is!" Liangcai Sword was actually excited.
It was as if he thought of being able to slap someone's face later, and he was in a very happy mood.
Du Xingchen smiled and shook his head.
In his heart, the method for showing off today was also born.
...
The battle with the Phoenix Feather Team was not in the original grassland, desert, or ice mountain battle zones.
To prevent both teams from becoming familiar with their respective battlegrounds, basically, after each team battled in one location, they would be moved to another unfamiliar area.
In the smoothly moving carriage, Du Xingchen and the others looked at the scenery passing by outside the window and could sense that the buildings were gradually becoming denser.
This journey would take at least one or two hours.
During this time, Du Xingchen took out the communication token on him that connected with the Divine Hall and directly contacted Mu Qianjun, the Divine Disciple Elder.
"Senior, I need you to help me spread some news at my competition venue today, and quickly."
Mu Qianjun: "Okay."
...
Two hours later.
Carried by the transportation tools reasonably provided by the various major forces organizing the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination, Du Xingchen and the others arrived at a huge battleground!
This was a grand battle arena, similar to a gladiatorial arena.
Surrounding it, extending upwards in layers, were densely packed spectators!
The dry bloodstains on the ground looked like the scene had just been cleaned up.
"There are so many spectators here, if anyone loses, the entire continent will know about it the next day!" Liangcai Sword looked around the area and couldn't help but click his tongue.
"Because we were too high-profile yesterday, there is no low-key place left to accommodate us for battle, not to mention, our opponent is the ace team of Phoenix Feather Kingdom, which is also one of the hot favorites to win the championship.
Considering the number of spectators, such a large battlefield is naturally needed."
Du Xingchen clearly thought more and more comprehensively.
"Those people should be the Phoenix Feather Team."
Zhongsun Yiqing's voice came from within the team.
Everyone's gaze also followed her line of sight, falling on the tall and beautiful men and women wearing gorgeous battle attire on the opposite side of the battlefield.
As soon as these people appeared, they immediately drew a burst of cheers from the surrounding spectators.
The fervent situation completely overwhelmed the scene when their Eight Gods Team appeared.
Clearly, compared to the Royal Family ace team of Phoenix Feather Kingdom, even though the Eight Gods Team was so high-profile last night, they only gained some fame in a small area.
In reality, the Eight Gods Team was still far from being an ace team of one of the five kingdoms!
"Welcome everyone to this year's Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination, Venue Area 029!"
"Today, our arena will welcome two highly anticipated teams!"
"They are, respectively, the Eight Gods Team, which defeated the Qianhai Country Royal Family Second Team last night, and..."
Speaking of this, the main Referee paused, then, as if announcing his Father's name, he said loudly and forcefully, "The ace team of Phoenix Feather Kingdom, the Purple Phoenix Team!"
"Wuwuwu!!"
"Bibibi!"
The surrounding spectators immediately went wild, and the excited sound clearly represented their support for the Purple Phoenix Team!
"Let's welcome the first participant from both sides to enter the stage!"
After the Referee finished speaking loudly, Du Xingchen glanced at Qing Youyu in the team.
He saw that she was taking deep breaths, exhaling her nervousness and various complicated emotions.
Without much hesitation, the woman directly stepped onto the stage.
Arranging for Qing Youyu to go first was her own request.
After Qing Youyu took the stage, a Man with a slight smile and a relaxed expression also walked out from the opposite team.
"Imperial younger sister, when I learned last night that your team was our opponent, I was very surprised.
I didn't expect that after five or six years, we would meet again under these circumstances."
There was a hint of teasing in the Man's voice, and after stating the situation, he added, "For such a long time, I, your Imperial Elder brother, and Father Emperor have been looking forward to your return.
Yesterday, after learning that you participated in the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination, we even sent people to bring you back."
"But I didn't expect that you would even refuse that opportunity, which made everyone sad for quite a while."
"Hmph, stop pretending."
Qing Youyu sneered.
"You never wanted me to go back from the start, and sending people to pick me up yesterday was just deliberately humiliating me.
You wait, I will tell Father Emperor about your collusion with the Divine Hall to plot for the throne one day!"
After the woman's words, which tore off all pretense, were spoken, the tall Man on the opposite side's expression gradually turned cold.
He pulled at the corner of his mouth with a forced smile: "Father Emperor cannot hear your voice, any words you want to say to Father Emperor, my people will block them for you."
"And the information about you that Father Emperor can hear will only be your incompetence, uselessness, and various annoying behaviors.
You just wait obediently for the day I ascend the throne and remove your name from the Phoenix Feather Kingdom Royal Family."
On the stage under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Man lowered his voice and spoke these undisguised words.
And this clearly caused Qing Youyu's emotions to fluctuate, her fists clenched until they were white.
At the same time.
Below the bustling arena stage.
The Referee, who was about to announce the start of the battle, was suddenly pulled aside by a group of people.
"What are you doing?!
I am hosting the competition, and it's about to start.
Did you think about the consequences of bringing me here?!
My backer is the Divine Hall!
Do you know that the Divine Hall is my backer?!"
The Host looked at this group of people, his expression showing no fear, only anger.
"We are from the Divine Hall."
As the leader among the crowd spoke, he took out a token symbolizing his identity from his person.
This made the Referee's expression stiffen.
Then his face immediately broke into a smile: "Hahaha, so you are friends from the Divine Hall, what a pleasure to meet you!"
The Man put away his microphone Martial Soul and shook hands warmly with the few people.
"There's a script here that you need to read before announcing the start of the competition.
It was arranged by the higher-ups of the Divine Hall."
The expressions of the few people from the Divine Hall remained unchanged, and the leader took out a letter from his person and handed it to the Referee.
"Script?"
Taking the letter, the Referee looked troubled: "I'm just maintaining the competition, the chief invigilator will definitely question me for doing this, and..."
Before the Referee finished speaking, a bag of god temple coins was thrown into his arms.
"We have already greeted the chief invigilator of examination venue 029.
This money is your reward."
The people from the Divine Hall acted decisively and their tone was very calm.
This immediately filled the Referee's face with smiles: "The Lords of the Divine Hall are still so thoughtful!
Don't worry, I will complete the task perfectly, give me two seconds and I'll memorize all the lines for you!"
"Okay, be quick."
Leaving one last sentence, the people from the Divine Hall left.
...
When the Referee returned to the arena, the spectators were still immersed in the lively atmosphere.
Clutching the script he had just received from the Divine Hall, he already felt a little regretful in his heart.
The words on it were meant to offend others to death!
However, he was now in a dilemma, after all, he had already accepted the money, and it was money given to him by the Divine Hall.
"Spectator friends, please allow me to introduce these two participants who are taking the stage!"
"This participant from the Purple Phoenix Team is named Qing Feng, and he is the current Crown Prince of Purple Phoenix Kingdom!"
After the Referee said this, the cheers of the spectators who already knew this information became even more enthusiastic.
And those who had just found out looked at Qing Feng on the stage with shocked eyes.
"What's interesting is that the opponent of participant Qing Feng, the participant from the Eight Gods Team, is Qing Feng's younger sister, and also the Princess of Purple Phoenix Kingdom, Qing Youyu!"
As this news was announced, among the crowd looking at each other, there was another uproar.
Clearly, compared to Qing Feng, everyone knew too little about Qing Youyu.
And hearing the Referee reveal the woman's identity for the first time, people were all surprised.
They didn't expect this brother and younger sister to meet on the arena!
"Perhaps you don't know, last night, after the Eight Gods Team defeated the Qianhai Country Second Team, this brother of Qing Youyu, Qing Feng, had already sent people to the Eight Gods Team to see Qing Youyu!"
"And what was even more unexpected was that the people Qing Feng sent were not there to congratulate her."
"He sent those people to insult his own younger sister, Qing Youyu!"
The Referee's voice was loud, and his expression was already tearful.
And on the stage, Qing Feng's eyes were already looking sharply at the Referee: "Shut up!
Are you looking for death?!"
The Referee faced the spectators: "Do you know what Qing Feng told his servants to say to his younger sister?"
"He told his servants to say to Qing Youyu that defeating the trash team built by that trash country, the Royal Family of Qianhai Country, made her so happy, it was truly pathetic and ridiculous!"
"Bastard, I told you to shut up!
Do you know you are speaking nonsense and spreading rumors!"
Qing Feng's forehead already had veins bulging.
And as the Referee's words fell, many people in the arena who still supported the Qianhai Country Royal Family First Team also turned pale, and anger appeared in their eyes as they looked at the Purple Phoenix Kingdom First Team.
"Saying Qianhai Country is trash?
How capable is Phoenix Feather Kingdom?!"
