That day.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Arena.
The exchange between the four academies was the focus of everyone's attention.
Surrounding the circular Soul Fighting Stage, which covered several thousand square meters, were spectator stands capable of holding tens of thousands of people.
The seats were packed.
They were all Huangdou Academy students.
The air was filled with tense and excited whispers:
"Royal Fight Academy will win!"
"Don't pop the champagne yet; Shenfeng, Blazing Fire, and Xiangjia are all tough opponents!"
"Captain Yu Tianheng has returned from special training with his family, his strength must have greatly increased, so our chances of winning are not small!"
"Speaking of Captain Yu Tianheng... if only Jian Jiu could be invited, then it would truly be stable!"
Waves of discussion rose and fell.
Suddenly, countless gazes simultaneously turned towards the entrance of the VIP section.
A line of figures slowly approached.
In the very center, surrounded by others, was Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
To his right was Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, and to his left were the three Board of Education Members of Royal Fight Academy: Meng Shen Ji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhilin.
However, what surprised the students most was... beside Dugu Bo, there was a young man in a white shirt.
The young man had a handsome face and a lazy smile on his lips.
"Who... is that?"
"The three Board of Education Members are Spirit Douluo, and His Excellency Dugu Bo is even a Title Douluo; why is this young man standing there?"
"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a close friend; could it be this person?"
"Even if he's just a good friend, it shouldn't be like this!"
...The scattered arguments drifted into Li Dixian's ears.
He whispered helplessly:
"I can just stay in the audience, why do I have to come up here?"
A rare smile appeared on Dugu Bo's stern old face.
"Dixian, you were invited to put out a fire, so don't be so polite."
Meng Shen Ji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhilin all nodded with a smile in agreement.
They already knew that this young man in white was the renowned "Jian Jiu" of Heaven Dou.
Not to mention his friendship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The mere favor of coming to the academy's rescue this time filled them with gratitude.
After all.
If Royal Academy were to lose on their home ground.
The three Board of Education Members would truly lose face.
Everyone took their seats in order.
Xue Qinghe, as the royal spokesperson and host, stood up to give a speech.
His gentle voice spread throughout the venue:
"Welcome to the three excellent academies visiting Heaven Dou City..."
The lengthy official speech made Li Dixian feel sleepy.
He glanced at Xue Qinghe, who had a noble temperament, beside him.
It was really hard to connect the person in front of him with the guy who haggled over a chicken wing yesterday.
Fortunately, Xue Qinghe didn't delay for too long.
Then, Chief Board of Education Member Meng Shen Ji began to introduce the three visiting academy teams.
The first to enter was the Xiangjia Team.
Seven burly young men, each over two meters tall and weighing more than three hundred catties, walked in with heavy steps.
Their mountain-like aura caused gasps of awe from the students in the audience.
Li Dixian observed these "human fortresses" with interest.
At this moment.
"Cough cough!"
Across Dugu Bo, Xue Qinghe leaned back slightly and coughed twice at Li Dixian.
Li Dixian understood, leaned back as well, and asked with a smile:
"What's wrong?"
Xue Qinghe's clenched hand quietly reached out.
Li Dixian opened his palm to receive it.
Several plump, translucent candied fruits fell from Xue Qinghe's open hand into Li Dixian's palm.
Xue Qinghe lowered her voice and quickly said:
"Xiangjia Sect, Captain Hu Yanli, a forty-second-level Defense-type Battle Spirit Master."
"All seven of their Spirits are Diamond Mammoths, following an extreme flow route of the same attribute, with no division of labor for control or healing types."
Li Dixian chewed the candied fruit, nodding knowingly.
A copper wall and iron bastion formed by seven top-tier Defense-type Beast Spirit Masters was indeed troublesome.
As the sweetness dissolved in his mouth, he suddenly turned to look at Xue Qinghe.
"Is this exchange meeting very important to you?"
Xue Qinghe was silent for a moment, then nodded:
"After I succeeded as Crown Prince, this is my first time presiding over a major event on behalf of the royal family, so I naturally want to do it well."
"Then I understand."
Looking at Li Dixian's handsome profile, a hint of warmth flowed through Xue Qinghe's heart.
At this moment.
The Blazing Fire Team, dressed in golden-red uniforms, entered.
Xue Qinghe was about to continue her introduction.
"This team is Blazing Fire..."
"I know."
Li Dixian's gaze fell on the stage below.
"I saw them yesterday."
"Oh?"
Xue Qinghe's eyebrows raised slightly.
Her gaze swept over Huo Wu, with her dark red wavy hair, in the team, and she said as if casually:
"This Vice Captain Huo Wu is truly radiant and charming."
"Hmm?"
The swordsman's intuition was lightning fast.
Li Dixian rubbed his chin and pouted:
"She's alright, just so-so."
Seeing Li Dixian's expression, Xue Qinghe's lips curved into a faint smile.
And when the last academy team entered the arena.
She put away her playful expression, and her delicate face took on a hint of seriousness.
"Li Dixian, the other members of the Shenfeng Academy Team are fine."
"But Captain Feng Xiaotian is by no means an easy opponent; he is also a Battle Spirit Master above level forty, and his Spirit is the Gale Dual-Headed Wolf."
"The most crucial thing is..."
"As far as I know, he has also created his own Spirit Ability."
"Oh?"
Li Dixian's gaze turned to the stage below.
The sunny young man in the light green team uniform entered his sight.
Self-created Spirit Ability?
That was indeed interesting.
In the original storyline, Shenfeng Academy's ranking was second only to the Spirit Hall Team and the Shrek Academy Team.
"Royal Fight Team..."
"It won't be easy to win."
All three guest teams had entered.
The last to appear, naturally, was the host, the Royal Fight Team.
Playing on home ground, they instantly ignited a roar far exceeding anything before.
The competition format was simple and clear.
Four teams drew lots, two by two matchups.
The winners advanced to compete for first place.
Under the gaze of all, the draw results were announced:
Royal Fight Team VS Xiangjia Team!
Blazing Fire Team VS Shenfeng Team!
Just as the four teams were about to take the stage.
Huo Wu, from the Blazing Fire Team, inadvertently glanced at the VIP section and saw the young man in white throwing candied fruits into his mouth.
"Huh?!"
Her fiery, bright eyes suddenly widened.
"Isn't that the younger brother who said Jian Jiu was very powerful yesterday? Why is he sitting there?!"
Huo Wushuang and the others followed Huo Wu's gaze.
Indeed... they had seen that young man in white at the noodle shop yesterday.
Huo Wushuang frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Never mind these minor matters for now."
"The first match is a tough fight, so everyone, focus."
"Yes!"
Another corner of the arena.
The seven members of the Royal Fight Team slowly ascended the steps.
Yu Tianheng clenched his fists and whispered:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Excellency the Poison Douluo, and the three Board of Education Members are all here."
"If we lose, we'll lose a lot of face."
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling looked at the white-clad figure on the VIP platform with beautiful eyes, a hint of a smile appearing on their lips.
Anyway, with him here today.
Royal Fight Academy couldn't possibly lose.
Yufeng and Ao Si Luo were also quite relaxed.
"Boss, relax, he's up there."
Yu Tianheng's face darkened slightly.
How many days had it been since he returned to his sect?!
It felt like his teammates were about to disown him as their captain... Three chapters released together.
