Chapter 472: Chapter 472

"If they know, they know. I wasn’t planning on hiding it anyway."

In the preparation room of the School of Foreign Languages, Lin Yi said nonchalantly.

However, Gao Yijian reminded:

"Boss Lin, the reason I mention this is because, when he said that to me just now, his tone was too calm."

"It doesn’t feel right. We should be careful when the time comes."

To this, Lin Yi could only respond with a smile:

"There’s still ten minutes before our turn. Now I’ll choose who’s going up."

"Which one of you plays Shield Warrior the best..."

At this moment, as a brilliant dance performance ended, the host took the stage with a microphone:

"Dear audience, we meet again."

"Did you guess what’s coming next?"

Amidst the cheers and shouts of tens of thousands of spectators, the host excitedly shouted:

"That’s right, next up is our thrilling ’Eight School League’ team competition."

At that moment, a huge display screen on the stage showed an isolated island in the sea, and the host pointed at it:

"This is the ’island’ where our team competition will be held shortly. Please look."

As the camera zoomed in, a vibrant and verdant forest appeared before the spectators’ eyes, interwoven with rugged mountains and streams, wild birds, and beasts.

Amidst the grass, on tree branches, and even at the riverbed, the flags representing each university could be seen.

This island isn’t as huge as we might imagine, which means the eight teams will have difficulty hiding until the end.

However, it’s not too small either, giving everyone room to perform.

The team competition lasts only 120 minutes, so each representative team must capture as many flags from their own university as possible within this time, while also trying to secure flags from other schools, widening the gap between opponents.

After introducing the basic rules, the staff had already assembled eight massive glass rooms on the large stage.

Inside each glass room were six brand-new game helmets and a comfortable lounge chair.

The eight teams will then enter these rooms and engage in a fierce showdown.

Suddenly colorful neon lights flashed on stage, accompanied by dynamic music reminiscent of soldiers marching to battle. Amidst thunderous applause, the host loudly shouted:

"First, please welcome the champion of our individual competition: Ningzhong University of Technology team!"

As the audience cheered loudly, a large Ningzhong University of Technology logo appeared on the screen, and its representative team walked onto the stage amid enthusiastic applause.

The most eye-catching among them was undoubtedly the only middle-aged man in the team: Divine Hall Madman!

He was supposed to be one of the three guild leaders and an absolute top player in-game.

No one knows how Ningzhong University managed to recruit Divine Hall Madman, despite the guild’s downfall, his brilliance couldn’t be dimmed.

Especially after Divine Hall’s disbandment, people suddenly realized that this once incredibly hot-tempered guild leader had become much more restrained.

This change won back countless fanatical supporters for Divine Hall Madman.

After all, Divine Hall was one of the long-standing top-three guilds in the Hua Country region’s online gaming world, and the popularity it accumulated over time was unmatched.

As a group walked on stage, the host stepped forward to ask:

"Madman, I hear the great Feng Hua is here today. How confident are you that your team can win?"

Gamers all know the entanglements between Divine Hall and Feng Hua. One could say Divine Hall’s decline is directly related to Feng Hua.

Given Qi Madman’s past temperament, if this host dared to mention the name in front of him, it would result in a meltdown.

It’s unclear whether the host was truly oblivious or just pretending, but they dared to ask this question directly.

The question caused an uproar among the audience.

Someone in the crowd exclaimed in disbelief:

"Is this host out of their mind? Daring to ask this in Madman’s presence, it’s like implying he’s inferior to Feng Hua."

And added, somewhat resigned:

"Although that’s true."

Around them, the audience began whispering:

"I have a feeling this host is going to get balled over."

"Even if they don’t get hit here, I’m sure they’ll get a talking-to after the event."

"Who doesn’t know that it was Feng Hua who caused Divine Hall Guild to drop out of the top ten? This host must have guts."

While everyone was discussing this, Qi Gang surprisingly smiled and said:

"Actually, I’ve always wanted to see how much of a gap there is between me and Feng Hua when our equipment and levels are the same."

"I’m looking forward to competing with him next."

"Of course, even against Feng Hua, I’ll give it my all."

Everyone was shocked because they didn’t know what Qi Gang had gone through before.

With his past experiences, no one in this world would dare harbor any bad thoughts toward that person.

Regarding Feng Hua, Qi Gang was genuinely impressed, with no hint of dishonesty.

If he had known Feng Hua would attend today, Qi Gang would never have agreed to come no matter the conditions.

But alas, he found out too late.

The host looked at the calm Madman in front of them, surprised:

"Madman indeed remains undaunted; I wish your team the best of success in the upcoming competition."

"Please take your positions."

As Qi Gang led the Ningzhong University team into the glass room, the Transportation University team, accompanied by Qingyi Pavilion’s Vice President, Qingyi Xiaotian, entered.

The audience broke into another round of enthusiastic applause.

Compared to the already fading Divine Hall Guild, Qingyi Pavilion currently holds a top ten spot in the Hua Country District Guild Strength Ranking.

As the Vice President of the guild, Qingyi Xiaotian’s arrival caused quite a stir, not far different from Madman.

After the Ningzhong University team’s speech, the noisy venue suddenly became eerily quiet.

Because they knew who was up next.

There was no sound from the scene, as everyone held their breath, waiting for the legendary figure to appear.

And this might be the first time that person revealed their true self in reality.

"Sis Wanqing, take it easy!"

In the VIP box, Le Mimi scolded Mu Wanqing, who was visibly nervous.

Perhaps due to nervousness, Mu Wanqing had been gripping her assistant’s hand tightly, leaving a red mark. Read complete versıon only at novel※fire.net

Mu Wanqing looked worried:

"Mimi, what do you think Feng Hua looks like in person?"

"Is he handsome? Or, like in the game, just ordinary looking?"

"I heard he has a good temper, but I wonder if he’s the same in real life."

Le Mimi rolled her eyes and said:

"We’ll know soon enough, why bother guessing."

Though she was nervous as well, seeing Mu Wanqing like that, Le Mimi found herself not as nervous.

When the host invited the first two teams, it went smoothly.

But when it came to the third team from the School of Foreign Languages, the host teasingly said:

"Is everyone, like me, looking forward to the next team coming on?"

By this time, the crowd was too lazy to criticize the host’s jest. Suddenly, someone shouted Feng Hua’s game forum nickname:

"Renowned Fenghua, unparalleled brilliance!"

Suddenly, the entire audience of over eighty thousand shouted in unison:

"Renowned Fenghua, unparalleled brilliance!"

The cheering was deafening.

Seeing that the audience was already riled up, the host stopped teasing and loudly announced:

"Now, let’s welcome the third team, making a grand entrance!"

A battle hymn burst forth, the massive screen displayed the School of Foreign Languages’ logo, and Lin Yi led the five players he selected onto the stage amidst exhilarating cheers.

This was Lin Yi’s first time, since birth, appearing in such a noticeable way before the world.

Lin Yi knew that after today, Feng Hua would no longer be a mystery.

"Renowned Fenghua, unparalleled brilliance!"

The thunderous chants penetrated the transparent window of the VIP box. Mu Wanqing stared blankly at the dignified, striking man and exclaimed in shock:
