46 Opening

◎The annual T-stage light show begins!!◎

.......

After the colorful fireworks show ended, Duan Jieshu stepped forward to introduce the organizers and sponsors, and finally announced the subsequent program arrangements.

Yu Li sat with other people in the lounge exclusive to Yunchen University. She looked at the various programs of the opening ceremony on the screen with great curiosity. They were all various strange but very entertaining supernatural performances.

"Everyone seems so enthusiastic! And I see that there seem to be tens of thousands of schools registered for the league. How can that be a lot?" Yu Li was a little shocked when she saw the number on the introduction screen distributed by the league.

"It's not that many. After all, according to the league rules, except for the school that occupies an independent college star, other planets are restricted to only one university registering. If this restriction is lifted, more schools will sign up." Guo Yunzheng introduced on the side.

"I remember that the preliminary round was a points system, and the top 64 schools would advance to the finals. Wouldn't that mean the remaining tens of thousands of schools would be directly eliminated?!" Yu Li now had a new understanding of the level of this annual league competition.

"Yes. After all, for other ordinary schools, if they successfully enter the top 64, they can apply to the Federation for an academy star as the school's new address," Han Chengfeng took over the topic and continued:

"The Federation's academy planets are generally natural planets suitable for habitation. Furthermore, these natural planets are rich in resources, which is a tremendous wealth for these schools."

"That's true!" Yu Li nodded in affirmation.

"And even if they don't make it to the top 64, having an outstanding performance in the preliminaries will provide good exposure for these schools and the planets where they are located. The resources the Federation provides to these schools are also different based on the annual rankings, so the number of people signing up for the league increases every year." Huangfu Wen added as he heard their conversation.

"So that's how it is." Yu Li could understand why so many schools participated.

"Yes, and after the opening ceremony is over, the top 64 teams in the league last year will need to walk around the field. This is your first time participating, will you be nervous?" Huangfu Wen asked with a smile.

"I'm fine now, but I feel like I'll be nervous when I go on stage. There are so many people at the opening ceremony!" Guo Yunzheng scratched his head.

"I can do it too..." Yu Li was not quite sure and was very uncertain.

"Pfft, don't be nervous. The people in the audience are very enthusiastic, but it's actually still a long distance away from the venue track." Lin Qianqian also came over.

"When the time comes, just keep smiling and waving, and treat us as moving vegetables." Lin Momo held Lin Qianqian's arm and said with her head resting on her shoulder.

"Pfft! This description is really!" Yin Yu was amused by Lin Momo's metaphor.

......

On the other side, Fei Yuxin, who was standing in the mentor team, saw the girl sitting quietly in her seat and chatting with her teammates. She was eager to go over, but was ruthlessly stopped by Yun Xiuzhu, who whispered a warning:

"She's going to go on stage soon, don't go over to her and cause her trouble in public!"

"Tsk, I know." Fei Yuxin agreed impatiently, sat down directly with his hands behind his back, leaned casually against the back of the chair, and the corners of his originally smiling mouth straightened. His pair of emerald green eyes were deep and sharp. Once his gorgeous and affectionate face became cold, the aura around him was full of oppression, which made the staff who were already far away from the two big guys move even further away.

Yun Xiuzhu, who was standing aside, looked calm and fearless. He looked at the light screen as if he had not tried to stop it and nothing had happened.

Yu Li seemed to notice the movement from the tutor's side. She turned around and saw two very conspicuous people. After all, there was no one within a few meters around them.

She covered her face helplessly, feeling that they had been making a fuss every day since Fei Yuxin came.

Fei Yuxin and Yun Xiuzhu both noticed Yu Li's little action, and the tense atmosphere between them gradually eased.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was Yu Li's turn to play. Gu Hezhi stood up, carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on his team uniform, and looked at his teammates. His cold, deep blue eyes softened as he said,

"Time's almost up, let's go!"

"Okay!" Yu Li and the others said in unison.

Inside the venue, after the various programs ended, the well-known host Duan Jieshu said with a smile:

"Dear audience friends, let us now welcome the university teams from the top 64 last year to the stage! Let us welcome them and look forward to them bringing us exciting battles this year as well!"

"Ahhhh!! Oh oh oh!" People in the audience also stood up excitedly, and StarNet was also very lively.

[Ohhhhh! Looking forward to it!!]

[Hahaha! Let me see it!]

[It’s that time of year again when handsome men and beautiful women take to the catwalk for a light show!]

[Hahahaha!! That’s true! I wait here every year!!]

"Now let us welcome the First Military Academy that won the first place in the previous session!! Let us welcome them. I wonder if they can continue to defend the championship in this session!" Duan Jieshu raised his hand and began to introduce.

The uniforms of the First Military Academy were black and red, as if the night and flames had solidified into majestic armor across the body. Made primarily of matte black fabric, the epaulettes were embroidered with blood-red thorn patterns, and the metal buttons were arranged in a zigzag pattern along the collar, reflecting a chilling light.

The belt was made of exotic animal leather and adorned with three hollow dragon-shaped pendants. The black and red uniforms made the men of the First Military Academy look even more handsome and majestic, like brave warriors, majestic and awe-inspiring.

"Ahhh! Huangfu Xi! Huangfu Xi!"

"Lu Xinghe! Lu Xinghe!"

The moment they appeared on the stage, countless light particles transformed into a giant dragon that roared silently. Finally, this domineering and majestic dragon turned into the emblem of the First Military Academy, which made the audience in the auditorium scream and shout.

[Ohhhh! Chief Huangfu Xi! Thunder Dragon, our dragon among dragons!!]

[Ohhhh! Chief Huangfu Xi! Thunder Dragon, our dragon among dragons!!]

[Ohhhh! Chief Huangfu Xi! Thunder Dragon, our dragon among dragons!!]

[Hahahaha! Every time I see the slogans you fans give to Huangfu Xi, it's so funny!]

[This reminds me of the Husky nickname from before, hahaha!]

[So handsome! It seems that Chief Huangfu Xi is much more mature and stable than the previous one!]

[Hahaha! You won’t say that in the preliminary rounds!]

[You can't call me by a wrong nickname, hahaha! I look so calm now because Commander Lu is watching from behind, hahaha!]

Huangfu Xi, with his heroic figure and sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, strode forward at a brisk pace, following the staff's instructions. However, the moment he spoke, he immediately destroyed the solemn atmosphere:

"Of course we will still be number one this time!"

"This year's host looks..."

Before he could finish, Lu Xinghe behind him stopped him: "Stop, this is live broadcast, I don't want to get another nickname after the game!"

"Pfft, yes, Huangfu, hold on!" Ye Qingying, who was watching the fun, walked quickly to their side and said.

In the end, Huangfu Xi could only swallow his complaints, force out an ugly, stiff smile, and follow the instructions of his coach and Lu Xinghe before he went on the court, and obediently raised his hand to greet the audience.

However, the audience laughed out loud when they saw his twisted smile.

[Hahahaha! Chief Huangfu, if you really can't laugh, you don't have to laugh. Hahaha! It's too forced!]

[If you get kidnapped, remember to blink, hahaha!]

[This is hilarious! Looks like Commander Lu and Chief Huangfu had something to say to him to do this. Hahaha!]

[Hahaha! I guess I should have smiled, but Huangfu Xi looked so forced, hahaha!]

When Lu Xinghe heard the laughter, he had a bad feeling. He looked up at the live broadcast screen and saw Huangfu Xi's stiff, mask-like smile. His eyes turned black. He laughed very well, but he didn't need to laugh anymore!

"Okay, the next one coming towards us is last year's runner-up, Gran University!" Duan Shujie also suppressed his smile and remained serious.

"Ahhh! Donores!"

"The flames of hell! Burn the heaven and earth!"

The virtual light spots in the venue turned into a golden red sky, and the flames burned brightly, spreading across the sky like a pair of huge burning red wings, beautiful and gorgeous.

Donores and his team wore dresses with ivory white as the base color and made of heavy satin material. The shoulders and cuffs were cleverly embroidered with dark gold patterns, and the dresses were neatly cut to fit the body shape.

A leather belt with a gilded buckle cinches the waist, emphasizing the dress's upright silhouette. The collar features a stand-up design, edged with fine gold thread piping. A golden ribbon, approximately three fingers wide, crisscrosses from the left shoulder to the right waist. Woven from gold and silver threads, its surface features a concave and convex scale-like texture, resembling a frozen golden wave.

This dress makes them look more dignified and majestic.

Donores had no interest in this non-combat activity and walked ahead with an expressionless face. However, Samuel behind him noticed the laughter coming from the audience, raised his eyebrows slightly, and felt that something interesting had happened. He raised his hand and greeted the enthusiastic audience with a very relaxed and natural movement.

Yan Qianxing, who joined this year, was a little nervous, but he managed to control himself and imitated Samuel and waved.

[Ahhh! 'Night Blade' Samuel! !]

[Donores! The flames of hell, burn the heaven and earth!]

[Donores! The flames of hell, burn the heaven and earth!]

[Hahaha, Donores always has this expression at the opening ceremony these past few years (°ー°), it’s hilarious!]

[Donores is only interested in fighting. Of course, after being intercepted by Gu Hezhi, I might have to add Gu Hezhi, hahaha!]

[Is the guy next to Samuel the new member? He's also a handsome guy!]

[Hahaha, I'm the runner-up in this year's ladder competition! I think I'm pretty famous!]

Huangfu Wen stood at the entrance of the venue, watching the Glen University team walk away, and said to Yu Li and the others, "It's time, let's go!"

Gu Hezhi also looked at Yu Li and the others and nodded: "Follow."

After saying that, he walked out first, from the shadows into the brightly lit conference hall.

"Now, let me welcome last year's third-place winner, Yunchen University!"

Endless flames in the air above the venue burned into stars, gathering into pieces of red maple leaves falling from the sky, which was an unforgettable sight.

"Ahhh! Gu Hezhi!!" The audience in the auditorium screamed and shouted again.
