Chapter 473: Chapter 473

In a place where green grass swayed and trees provided shade, a few figures suddenly appeared, startling a cluster of beautiful butterflies, which fluttered their wings and scattered in all directions.

"Is this the competition’s island?"

A Frenzy Warrior named ’Feng Yishui’ looked around in amazement and said:

"The environment here is pretty nice."

Next to him, a Shield Warrior named ’Little Scholar Carefree,’ holding a shield, agreed:

"Such an environment can only be seen in the game."

At this moment, Feng Hua was wearing a simple brownish-gray basic magic robe and holding a plain wooden magic staff, appearing quite shabby and rudimentary.

This was a stark contrast to Feng Hua’s previous luxurious equipment, which was so different it was hard to look at.

At this time, in the Ningzhong City National Arena, everyone was intently watching the huge screen on the stage.

The screen was divided into eight sections, each corresponding to one of the eight participating teams.

Now every move of these eight teams was under the scrutiny of tens of thousands of spectators at the venue.

Although everyone had roughly seen the scenery of the island before the match started,

experiencing it now through the perspective of the eight teams brought a completely different sensation, as if the scene in front of them was a Peach Blossom Spring, full of peace and tranquility.

Since all eight teams were being broadcast simultaneously, to prevent the sound from being too noisy and confusing the audience, they thoughtfully added real-time subtitles under each video.

While everyone was praising the professionalism of the officials, the match had already unfolded in a tense and intense atmosphere.

"Tell me what skills you all have."

Lin Yi pointed at the only Priest in the team, who was also the only female player, ’Xin Rui,’ and said:

The female Priest named ’Xin Rui’ glanced at her skill bar and said innocently:

"I only have one ’Basic Healing Technique’ for healing."

Feng Yishui, the Frenzy Warrior, exclaimed:

"Just that one skill? That’s too weak."

Lin Yi was not surprised by this and turned to Feng Yishui:

"What about you? What skills do you have?"

Feng Yishui chuckled before speaking:

"I have two skills, an attack skill ’Heavy Strike’ and a status skill ’Frenzy.’"

Xin Rui, who had just been mocked, couldn’t help but roll her eyes:

"You’re still in the mood to joke about me; you only have one more than me."

Feng Yishui felt indignant upon hearing this:

"I might only have two skills, but at least I can fight and hold my own!"

"You’re a Priest; you have no offense, can’t protect yourself, and only have one Healing Technique to use. How is calling you weak incorrect?"

Xin Rui’s face turned red from Feng Yishui’s words, but she couldn’t refute them and could only glare at Feng Yishui angrily:

"I can’t be bothered with you."

Then she sulked in place.

While Feng Yishui was still proudly raising an eyebrow, Lin Yi’s face turned cold, and he pointed at Feng Yishui with anger:

"I demand you apologize to Xin Rui immediately."

"Otherwise, you should withdraw from this match right now."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Not only Xin Rui and Feng Yishui but also the audience at the scene.

Everyone was shocked by Lin Yi’s words, thinking that a joke between teammates shouldn’t be this serious, right?

Was the team going to start losing members before the match even began?

Feng Yishui looked at Lin Yi in surprise:

"Did I say something wrong?"

Even Xin Rui was startled by Lin Yi’s words, looking a bit flustered:

"No, no, you don’t need to apologize, I’m fine."

"And besides, what he said isn’t wrong!"

But as she continued, her voice grew quieter and quieter.

However, Lin Yi did not relent, instead looking sternly at Feng Yishui, and smirked:

"You want to know why? I’ll tell you."

Then Lin Yi pointed at the helpless Priest Xin Rui:

"From the moment we entered this game, we became a team, a whole."

"Now, we all share one goal, and that is to find a way to win in this competition and bring honor to your school."

"And you, being not just a part of our team but a tough, rugged man."

"When you find out your teammate is at a disadvantage, you shouldn’t think of how to protect them, but instead, you choose to mock and ridicule."

Lin Yi became increasingly impassioned until he couldn’t help but shout angrily:

"If you cannot realize your mistake right now, then leave immediately. I do not need a foolish teammate who only creates internal strife."

In his last life, Lin Yi, when he was just an ordinary player, had encountered such situations far too many times.

Many times when I was mixed in with random teams, I was ridiculed by teammates because of my ordinary equipment. The taste of not being recognized left a deep impression on Lin Yi.

But because of rebirth, this life I was always in the first lineup, so I never encountered such a situation again.

Originally, Lin Yi had already forgotten this part of the memory in the river of history, but unexpectedly it was suddenly activated here.

At this moment, isn’t Xin Rui exactly like the ragged and embarrassed self from the past?

Whether it was towards Feng Hua or the audience present, or even Ouyang Hao, Zhang Xinying, and others in the inner field, almost everyone was seeing Lin Yi so angry for the first time.

This time everyone could clearly feel the anger contained in Lin Yi’s tone at that moment.

However, thinking about what Lin Yi had just said, almost everyone fell silent.

Perhaps this passage touched certain people’s minds, some felt the words were like speaking of their own experiences, and couldn’t help but shed tears while applauding.

Initially, only a few people were clapping sparsely, but more and more people joined in. Soon the applause was thunderous, and tens of thousands shouted in unison the phrase they had repeated countless times:

"Feng Hua, matchless elegance!"

This was the highest recognition that countless Hua Country people showed towards Feng Hua.

In the VIP box, looking at the furious face on the screen, Mu Wanqing revealed a charming smile and said:

"This is the idol worth my admiration."

At this moment, no one would feel that Feng Hua was just performing on screen when saying these words, because such genuine feelings are impossible to fake.

Feng Yishui fell silent.

Xin Rui cautiously whispered:

"Thank you, Feng, but I’m really okay."

Then Xin Rui added to herself: Anyway, this situation isn’t the first time I’ve encountered it, and I’m already used to it.

After a brief silence, Feng Yishui turned his head towards Xin Rui and said sincerely:

"I’m sorry! Originally I just wanted to make a joke."

"It’s just that I was too presumptuous and didn’t take your feelings into account, I’m really sorry."

Xin Rui, feeling touched, shook her head and said:

"I’ll do my best not to hold everyone back in the future."

Just then Xiaosheng Xiaoyao walked over with a wooden shield and comforted Xin Rui:

"What are you talking about, just as Feng said, everyone is teammates, mutual support is the most important thing."

"Alright, let’s end this matter here."

Then this Xiaosheng Xiaoyao said to Lin Yi:

"Feng, I also have two skills, one control skill ’Shield Strike’ and one status skill ’Charge.’

Then the thief named ’Shadow Slayer’ also said:

"My two skills are status skill ’Stealth’ and control skill ’Backstab.’

Finally, the archer named ’Jun Ye’ said:

"Feng, my two skills are area skill ’Scattering’ and single attack skill ’Gale Arrow.’

Only then did Lin Yi’s expression soften, and he apologized to Feng Yishui first, saying:

"Sorry, my words were a bit harsh just now."

Feng Yishui, as if being frightened, quickly waved his hand and said:

"No no no, it was my fault, what Feng said was correct."

Seeing Feng Yishui looking possibly quite frightened, Lin Yi suddenly smiled:

"I didn’t say you weren’t wrong, just that my words earlier indeed carried a bit of my own emotions, which is also a taboo for a leader."

"I’ll admit my mistakes when I’m wrong."

Then Lin Yi shifted his tone and said:

"My point was for you to understand, right now you don’t just represent yourselves individually."

"You represent your alma mater and bear the mission to bring glory to your school by being here."

"I hope you can abandon all prejudices in the upcoming competition, unite as one, and strive for the common goal."

Lin Yi’s gaze scanned across each of their faces and asked:

Several people shouted in unison:

"Yes!" Chapters fırst released on N0veI.Fiɾe.net

The loud voice startled the birds in the forest, echoing throughout this dense forest.

"I also have two skills now, one single skill ’Fireball Technique’ and one instant group attack skill ’Blast Flame.’

Then Lin Yi analyzed:

"Now everyone’s equipment level is the same, so no one holds the advantage."

"Next, what we need to do is expand our own advantage."

Everyone was stunned, even the audience present was puzzled, and Xin Rui voiced the question in everyone’s hearts:

"How can we expand our advantage?"

Lin Yi looked at the (Grassland Wolf Lv20) that was pacing back and forth not far away and said:

"Of course, by improving ourselves!"

At this moment, several pieces of phantom equipment were displayed on the Grassland Wolf. The official introduction only mentioned that everyone’s initial equipment level was the same, with a maximum level of 20, but didn’t say the equipment was...
