The night passed without incident, and early the next morning,
Wu Changkong led the seven members of Zero Class out of the academy and headed straight for Eastsea Plaza in the center of Eastsea City.
The seven people wore Eastsea Academy uniforms. This time, not only Wu Changkong was leading the team, but also Dean Long Hengxu.
The academy's participating teams were not just Zero Class; there were also students from the Advanced Department competing in the youth group.
Among these people, Fang Yang saw several familiar figures.
When he first arrived in Eastsea City, Liu Yuxin, the beautiful Senior Sister sent by the academy to pick up new students, was one of them.
However, Liu Yuxin paid no attention to them at all.
Her beautiful eyes occasionally fell on the white-robed figure, and her eyes were almost turning into heart shapes.
"Teacher Wu's charm is truly undiminished," Xie Xie whispered to Fang Yang.
Fang Yang smiled knowingly at the words and nodded slightly in agreement.
Tang Wulin also spotted Senior Ouyang Zixin and Senior Sister Mu Xi in the Advanced Department's team.
Just then, a figure quickly walked out from the Advanced Department's team and headed straight towards Fang Yang's direction.
Xu Xiaoyu's scrutinizing gaze swept over Fang Yang.
"Fang Yang, I'm warning you."
He lowered his voice, with a clear threat in his tone, "If I find out you bullied Xiao Yan..."
"Brother!"
Before Fang Yang could speak, Xu Xiaoyan had already stepped forward quickly and grabbed Fang Yang's arm, "Fang Yang is very good to me, you don't have to worry."
Xu Xiaoyu's expression immediately froze, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
He snorted lightly, straightened his collar with a feigned composure, and maintained his brotherly authority, "Xiao Yan, if this kid dares to..."
"You should worry about your own competition first."
Xu Xiaoyan blinked mischievously, "Don't come back in disgrace like before, failing to even pass the preliminaries."
"Impossible."
Xu Xiaoyu's face stiffened, "All of us participating this time are at Three-Ring or above; we will definitely achieve good results."
Their Advanced Department also participated in the team competition. However, it was the most highly regarded seven-person team competition.
Xu Xiaoyan pouted, her "I don't believe it" expression practically written all over her face.
Xu Xiaoyu remained silent, turned, and returned to his team, but not before glaring at Fang Yang as he left.
Fang Yang said softly, "Xiao Yan, your brother cares about you a lot."
"He just worries too much," Xu Xiaoyan said nonchalantly.
Fang Yang watched Xu Xiaoyu's retreating back, deep in thought.
Through their conversation, he vaguely guessed that Eastsea Academy's past results seemed less than ideal, and not just a little less than ideal.
Failing to even pass the preliminaries, one could imagine how bad those results were...
As the second-largest city on the East Coast, such competition results were truly embarrassing for Eastsea City. No wonder the academy was anxious.
The Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition was a grand event jointly organized by the five first-tier cities on the East Coast, supplemented by some second and third-tier cities.
Eastsea City, as one of the well-known major cities among the second-tier cities, had dismal results in previous competitions.
Not only was Eastsea Academy embarrassed, but even the officials of Eastsea City were extremely mortified.
This was why, seeing the continuous emergence of Geniuses at Eastsea Academy, Long Hengxu applied to establish Zero Class.
If this continued, Eastsea City's reputation would be severely affected!
Economically, Eastsea City's development was very rapid.
This time, with the help of the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition, the academy also hoped that these ten-year-old children could show the high-level officials of the Tianhai Alliance cities the potential of Eastsea City, and at the same time, they hoped to receive more official help and support from Eastsea City.
As time passed, teams continuously arrived at Eastsea Plaza.
Some represented various associations participating in the Grand Competition, while others represented various academies or forces.
The entire Eastsea Plaza was bustling with people and extremely lively.
"Teachers and students of Eastsea Academy, please board bus number six!" Long Hengxu shouted through a megaphone.
Upon hearing this, the teachers and students of Eastsea Academy boarded bus number six.
"Move aside, I want to sit with Fang Yang."
Gu Yue pointed at Xie Xie, signaling him to sit further back.
"You..."
Xie Xie was choked with anger, but he remembered that he couldn't beat Gu Yue, let alone the ultimate boss, Fang Yang, behind her.
He could only secretly think to himself, "A good man doesn't fight with women."
Xu Xiaoyu quickly grabbed his sister, forcefully pressing Xu Xiaoyan into the seat beside him.
Xie Xie looked at Tang Wulin with a wronged expression, only to find him already sitting and chatting happily with Senior Ouyang Zixin.
Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi, the inseparable good friends, had also already taken their seats.
Helpless, Xie Xie had no choice but to sit beside Wu Changkong.
Immediately, he felt a chill all over his body, and he didn't know how many sharp female gazes in the entire bus wanted to tear him to shreds.
Xie Xie immediately intended to stand up and change seats again.
"If you don't want to sit, then get up," Wu Changkong's chilling voice echoed in his ears.
Xie Xie suddenly felt a mix of amusement and frustration. Who did I offend?
I didn't want this either!
On the Soul Guidance bus, the atmosphere was quite tense. The students on the bus rarely communicated, and even if someone occasionally spoke, they would keep their voices low.
In this somewhat tense and oppressive atmosphere, one bus after another slowly drove out of Eastsea Plaza.
They set their direction, gradually accelerated, and headed out of Eastsea City.
Not long after, the Soul Guidance bus carrying the Eastsea City representative team entered the highway and began to pick up speed.
The Soul Guidance highway utilized maglev technology and Soul Guidance technology, which could greatly increase the speed of the Soul Guidance bus; its maximum speed could reach half that of a Soul Guidance train.
If the distance was not particularly far, it was even more convenient than a Soul Guidance train.
Fang Yang opened his eyes, watching the constantly passing beautiful scenery outside the window, his eyes constantly flashing with brilliance.
To the east was the sea, and this highway itself was built along the coast, the boundless blue making one feel refreshed and joyful.
Gu Yue leaned on his shoulder, peacefully asleep, with the sunlight outside the window shining on her cheek.
It made her skin appear crystal clear and very beautiful.
Gu Yue slightly opened her eyes, "Fang Yang, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, go back to sleep," Fang Yang responded softly, gently pulling the curtain shut.
Just like that, the two slept leaning on each other, the scene warm and beautiful.
Unconsciously, four hours passed.
When the Soul Guidance bus slowly stopped, the two woke up from their sleep.
"Hey, you two slept so soundly, you didn't wake up the whole way!" Xie Xie looked at Fang Yang and Gu Yue with a mischievous expression.
Gu Yue stood up and stretched her body with outstretched arms.
She gently squeezed Fang Yang's shoulder, "Is it numb?"
"It's fine," Fang Yang shook his head.
Everyone got off the bus one after another, and awaiting them was the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition!
