Unfortunately, Angel's training room happened to be arranged near Lin Long, and when Lin Long made a slight noise, she happened to be walking across the corridor, and took in everything that happened on the opposite side.
At that moment, An Qi felt an unprecedented jealousy, and immediately reacted by informing the competition organizers, telling the host David what she had discovered, and she put it in a very unpleasant way, saying that Lin Long and Brand were having an affair.
The host David was puzzled and asked subconsciously:
"Hmm... is that true? But it doesn't violate the rules of the competition, does it? The fifth round of eliminations doesn't restrict who can be invited. If you're willing, you can invite your loved one to compete. It's allowed, as long as your performance is recognized by the audience and judges."
"But, this isn't fair..."
"It's nothing, but competitions are never absolutely fair. According to what you said, it's already unfair that you're more famous than the other party from the beginning."
David was listening. He had been patient in explaining things, but Anqi's aggressive words and tone made him impatient and he became less polite.
"If you feel someone has violated the competition rules, you can report it to the competition organizers for their review. The competition organizers have always had reporting channels open. However, I still advise you, as a competitor, to focus on your performance and avoid unnecessary distractions."
In David's opinion, it is not uncommon for contestants to fall in love with each other in the middle of a competition.
He has hosted the "All-Round Artist" competition for several sessions and has seen many strange things. He has seen contestants fall in love with each other and contestants and judges fall in love with each other. Now it's just that a contestant and a temporary guest have fallen in love with each other. What's so strange about it? It's not strange at all.
The final winner of the competition is determined solely by their strength. Even if there is a relationship, as long as they can still gain market recognition and the audience's love, there is no problem at all. These are all small matters.
What's more, they are young people, so why would they make a fuss about having a love relationship? He couldn't stand it even more, when people found faults in their peers just because they were not strong enough, and called it "unfairness" and "reporting".
David never thought it necessary to be polite in such situations. Soon, he hung up the phone and had no intention of paying any more attention to the jealous Angie on the other end.
But because of this, An Qi felt it was even more unfair. Not everyone could find a partner with such outstanding looks. If it were Momo and Yaya, it would be fine, she would consider herself unlucky, but why could an unknown person get such an advantage?
People are like this. When they fail, are unsuccessful, or are at a disadvantage, they always like to find excuses for themselves to cover up their flaws, imperfections, and lack of effort.
And every time at this time, as long as a certain line is not properly grasped, it is easy for some dark sides to take advantage of the situation and try to use greater unfairness to exacerbate the so-called "unfairness" of the moment.
Just like now, an extremely tempting voice sounded in Anqi's ears, and the voice said:
"Do you want to win? Miss Anqi, I also think you are more outstanding. It's just that those people don't appreciate you. I admire you very much, and the winning spot should be yours. But it doesn't matter. I can help you. As long as you ask, I have the ability to make your 'strength' visible to everyone and help you win. Isn't that a deal? Of course, I will charge you a small reward, which will not hurt you at all."
Such a young male voice startled An Qi, and she subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a young man standing not far away.
Angel felt that face was somewhat familiar; it was the face of a young noble, but the other person had a somewhat cold temperament, which made people subconsciously not want to have too much contact with him.
But it was obvious that An Qi, who had been tempted by the words just now, had completely ignored these unusual points. After recognizing that the other party was indeed talented and powerful and could help her, she couldn't help but get a little excited and hurriedly stepped forward and said,
"If you can really help me, it's just a small price. No problem, as long as I can do it. Since no one talks about fairness anymore, why should I talk about fairness? I'm just trying to restore fairness and bring out my true strength. Other contestants, please don't blame me."
"As you wish, Miss Angie."
The young noble man laughed, but the next moment, Angel was unconscious. About a quarter of an hour later, 'Angel' regained consciousness, but her appearance had become strange and cold, with a distorted expression. She respectfully called the young noble man "king", as if she had completely changed her heart.
An Qi is no longer the same An Qi.
The weather has been particularly bad these past two days. Although the weather forecast indicated sunny weather, it has rained heavily for two consecutive days.
It was not known whether it was because of the heavy rain that made people feel depressed, or because the elimination rounds had entered a somewhat scorching stage, but after returning to the dormitory after practicing in the evening, Lin Long felt that something was particularly wrong.
The entire dormitory became more and more deserted day by day, and the time for communication with other contestants became shorter and shorter day by day. It was as if the heavy rain made the entire dormitory inexplicably cold, making Lin Long feel particularly uncomfortable.
Could this be her illusion? Lin Long heated up a cup of milk for herself and couldn't help but mutter, "Why do I feel like some of the contestants have strange expressions?"
"Maybe it's not a feeling, but something really strange. I started having nightmares two nights ago."
Yaya, who had just come downstairs to pour hot water, couldn't help but say this while frowning. Lin Long saw that the other party's face seemed not very good, so he stuffed the slightly warm milk in his hand into Yaya's hand, turned around and poured another cup, and asked while making it:
"Have you been training too hard lately and have had a lot of terrible nightmares?"
"I don't know the specifics, but as a nightmare, it wasn't very scary now that I think about it, but it was a little weird."
After drinking half a cup of hot milk, Yaya felt her stomach was better. Then she thought slowly and said:
"Well, it's like being possessed by a demon. It's like something in your nightmare is constantly tempting you, telling you that you only need to pay a small price to achieve victory. However, there's no such good thing in the world. If there really were such a good thing, I wouldn't be the only Yaya in the world, don't you think?"
"Hahaha, you're absolutely right, Yaya." Upon hearing this, Lin Long couldn't help but burst out laughing. However, the laughter didn't last long before a sigh of regret escaped his lips. "If only the other contestants thought like you, Yaya."
But Yaya could no longer hear this sound. The cup of warm milk had made her fall asleep without her realizing it.
However, Lin Long was not surprised at this situation. Instead, she took a lot of effort to carry the sleeping Yaya back to her room and covered her with a quilt to prevent her from catching a cold.
After finishing everything, Lin Long went downstairs and opened the door of the dormitory. Outside the door, seven extremely eye-catching men were standing there. These seven people were none other than Lin Long's six dragon fathers and Brand.
Just because of what happened recently, Lin Long now had a very complicated look when she met Brand. On the one hand, she was really attracted by Brand's looks and subconsciously wanted to take the initiative. On the other hand, she learned of Brand's identity as the Dragon King and felt extremely complicated, as if she had fallen into a trap.
However, now, it is obvious that they are not talking about this issue.
Just a few days ago, Brand seemed to sense the breath of the culprit who caused the collapse of Dragon Island. During this period, through private verification by his six dragon fathers, they indeed confirmed the fact of their existence, and learned in advance that those guys from the Earth Dragon Clan would gather the night before the fifth round of eliminations, which is tonight.
So, they planned to go out tonight. Originally, the dragon fathers did not plan to bring Lin Long with them, but Lin Long felt something was wrong and also noticed the existence of the earth dragon clan. In order to avoid more difficult to control accidents, the dragon fathers asked Lin Long to come with them.
And just as they expected, at exactly two o'clock in the morning, the dormitory building, which had been very quiet, began to move unusually.
After a while, many people came out of each dormitory building and walked straight into the dense forest not far ahead. At a glance, there were more than twenty people.
You know, there are only forty people still living in the dormitory, and this number accounts for more than half.
Immediately, Lin Long looked at Long Ba and the others, and followed them quietly. It didn't take them much time to reach the gathering place.
Deep in the dense forest, a group of people were sitting around a spotlight. The one in the middle was a young man, and surrounding him were the twenty or so contestants.
Just looking at it from the outside, you can't tell anything, but as long as you move your eyes slightly to the ground, you can find the weirdness.
The shadows of the twenty or so people before him, whether it was the young man or the contestants, were not those of normal people, but of earth dragons!
It looks a bit like a dragon, but its appearance is much uglier.
Moreover, all the remaining earth dragons are confirmed to be here.
Immediately, the dragon fathers looked at Brand, and without hesitation, they surrounded him.
However, even the chief of the Earth Dragon Clan probably did not expect that the forces of the two sides would completely tilt towards one side. The twenty or so Earth Dragon elites who survived were completely no match for the six giant dragons.
Especially after seeing their fellow tribesmen being suppressed in just two or three moves, the remaining earth dragons became even more panicked. They immediately realized that the female body they had merged with was too disadvantageous and could be subdued in an instant. They struggled to escape and planned to escape directly with their souls. After all, they could now choose the young body they liked.
Little did they know that this was the moment Brand and the others had been waiting for.
The next moment, He Long rushed forward as quickly as possible, turned back into a giant dragon, and stomped down hard with one claw, crushing the remaining earth dragons who wanted to escape into ashes.
After all, in terms of strength, although the giant dragon and the earth dragon also have the word "dragon" in their names, their strength levels are very different. Back then on Dragon Island, the evil dragon clan relied on their numerical advantage and conspiracy and took advantage of the change of the giant dragon king to harm the entire Dragon Island.
But now, there is no going back. The number of earth dragons no longer has the advantage, and they don’t even have a body.
More importantly, this time, their dragon king has fully grown and recovered. After experiencing the collapse of Dragon Island and the tragic situation of the dragon clan being on the verge of extinction, all of their dragons don't want to go through it again. They will only become stronger than before!
Seeing his companions being wiped out one by one, the leader of the Earth Dragon Clan finally panicked. Everything that happened was completely different from what he had imagined. He had obtained the system and should have become stronger, not like now. Not to mention the hope of winning, he didn't even have the hope of surviving!
"In that case, don't blame me for being rude!"
The earth dragon leader looked greedily at Brand in front of him. Thinking of the fame, status and wealth that would come after he could seize the body of the dragon king, he ignored everything else and left his current body directly, merging his soul into Brand's body.
At the moment of completion, the Earth Dragon Leader couldn't suppress his crazy laughter, thinking that his wish of becoming a real 'dragon' was finally coming true. But at this moment, he saw Brand calmly walk past him with a 'I've been waiting for this' smile:
"I have waited a long time for you. Welcome to your own end."
Brand had just finished speaking when the Dragon King's soul power had already wrapped around the soul of the Earth Dragon Leader, leaving him no chance to escape and completely crushing him.
The leader of the earth dragons had completely disappeared, and the remaining earth dragons were leaderless and were completely wiped out in a short while.
Everything has been settled.
Everything that happened that night was silent, except that the six dragon fathers couldn't help but complain in turns that their cubs had been worried about their king, Brand, all night long. He was simply "forgetting his father for the sake of beauty", which made them have the urge to beat Will up together again.
What was surprising was that early the next morning, more than 20 contestants felt as if they had a bad cold, and their whole bodies seemed to have been punched hard by someone. They collectively complained to the organizers of the competition.
After a collective discussion, the organizers of the competition felt that the players' condition was indeed important, otherwise the competition would be meaningless, so they decided to postpone the competition for a week.
On the second day after the decision to postpone the competition, the host David received a special text message from contestant Angie.
The other party said that after thinking for a long time, he found that he was indeed anxious and jealous. Although he was already an adult, he still could not learn to think about problems in a more mature way. He also said that he would withdraw from the competition after two days when he felt better.
"There's no need to withdraw from the competition, Ms. Anqi. Perhaps my words were a bit harsh earlier, but let me also say something about your strength. You may not be the best, but that doesn't mean you aren't excellent. The fact that you've made it into the top 20 is enough to prove that you're excellent. Not many artists can reach your current level."
After editing, send it.
Just looking at the 'Sent Successfully' message, host David couldn't help but smile and said to his companions, "I suddenly think that contestant named An Qi is also very good."
Time flies, and four years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The new "Global All-Round Artist" competition has begun to send out registration invitations worldwide, but when it comes to this competition, everyone can't help but talk about the champion of the previous competition.
It's not just because the champion of the previous competition was a big upset, but also because the champion of that year, Lin Long, also known as supermodel LongLong, is now the founder of a new consortium. The 'LL Consortium' she founded has been developing rapidly since the All-Round Artist Competition. In just four years, it has been listed by countless people as the world's eighth new consortium - the LL Consortium.
There is also a legend circulating in the world that the reason why the 'LL Group' developed so quickly is because the bosses of the other seven major groups in the world are all Lin Long's father.
But some people refuted that, saying that the 'LL Foundation' was originally started from Goddess, which came out of the World Fashion Week. From the following year on, Goddess has always occupied the first place in the fashion week, which shows the original founding traces of the 'LL Foundation'.
However, no matter what, the LL Group and Lin Long have already become legends of the new generation, including the handsome man who is engaged to Lin Long, Brand, a talented investor who is adept in all walks of life.
Some even say that Brand has closer ties with the world's seven major financial groups than Lin Longlai.
As for what the legend is about, as long as you know it, I know it, and the protagonists of this world know it, that is enough.
