Brother Zhang said with a smile, "It's good that you remember."
He paused for a moment, then couldn't help but remind her, "Well, although we all know your strength, I think you'd better not be too careless."
Lei Luo: "Hmm?"
“I’m serious,” Zhang Ge said. “The Yan Kingdom is taking this National Freshman Tournament very seriously. There are many experts brought in from the capital in this ten-kilometer radius of the competition venue. For example, Commander Sun from the Yan Kingdom’s Military Strategist Dimensional Army is an apostle of the God of War and a level 30 superhuman!”
Upon hearing this, Lei Luo glanced at him and asked, "You mean Sun Yicheng? Is he here too?"
“Yes,” Zhang Ge said.
"Okay, I understand." Lei Luo was silent for a moment, then waved his hand: "You don't need to worry about it."
Brother Zhang chuckled, "Alright, it's all up to you."
......
The next day.
Noon, 12 o'clock.
A-Guang arrived at Lin Nai's door and knocked: "Lin Nai, are you up yet? Let's go eat together, the referee will call us to assemble later!"
"Squeak"
After a while, the door opened.
Lin Nai appeared in her pajamas, yawning, "Good morning."
"Good morning..." Ah Guang had barely finished speaking when he saw his face and exclaimed, "Holy crap... what happened to those dark circles under your eyes?!"
Lin Nai rubbed her eyes: "Oh, it's nothing. I stayed up a bit last night cultivating and studying my opponents."
"Tsk tsk, genius plus hard work, awesome!" A-Guang said. "But the competition is coming up soon, won't your condition be affected?"
Linna: "It's alright, I'll just ask the tournament organizers' therapists for a few spiritual blessings later."
“That’s true.” A-Guang tilted his head and asked, “By the way, have you seen Princess Ye? This morning, a few of us wanted to go out for lunch with her, but we couldn’t find her anywhere, and we couldn’t reach her by phone either.”
"Oh, you mean her?" Lin Nai turned her head after speaking, "Wan'er, let's go eat together!"
From one of the rooms, a shy voice came from behind a door: "I...I know..."
Ah Guang: "?"
"Your Highness is with you?" Ah Guang's mouth dropped open, then he gave a playful look. "You guys... you weren't together all night, were you?"
Lin Nai: "Yes, Wan'er helped me relax before the competition and also helped me with my training."
"..." Ah Guang: "Tsk tsk, it's really enviable... But brother, you're still in a competition, don't let a pretty girl affect your performance..."
Lin Nai was taken aback for a moment, then said, "You've misunderstood, it really is cultivation."
Ah Guang nodded knowingly: "I understand, it's cultivation."
Linnaeus: "..."
......
I've changed my clothes.
Lin Nai, Ye Wan'er, and A Guang went downstairs together.
The town is exceptionally lively today.
Buses drove into the event town, and many reporters and media staff disembarked from them.
Linna asked curiously, "Why are there so many media outlets today? Weren't we told that there wouldn't be any media present until the final round of the competition?"
"Perhaps there have been some changes to the competition rules this year?" Ah Guang seemed not to know much about it either: "In previous years, spectators and media would only be allowed to enter the stadium when the finals were played."
“It’s not a rule change.” Tang Hongshan’s voice rang out at this moment.
Lin Nai turned around and saw Tang Hongshan, Lin Yuxi, Lao Zhang, and a group of others walking over. Tang Hongshan glanced at the media and said, "It's always like this whenever a Guigu student participates in a competition."
"Guiguzi?" Lin Nai asked, "What does this have to do with Guiguzi?"
"Of course there's a connection." Old Zhang took a deep drag on his cigarette and exhaled a cloud of smoke. "Ghost Valley Academy wins the championship every time they participate in the competition, but on average, Ghost Valley only has one contestant participating every ten years."
"Every time a contestant from Guigu participates, the viewership ratings are at least three to four times higher than normal. Of course, the organizers don't want to give up such popularity. So every year when a disciple of Guigu participates, the organizing committee will let the media in early in the fourth round to warm up the audience and generate some buzz."
Lin Nai pondered for a moment: "I see."
The annual National College Freshman Competition is not just about selecting outstanding students.
Ticket sales, broadcasting fees, endorsement fees, and advertising fees will all generate a considerable amount of revenue.
The government isn't running a charity; if there's money to be made, they certainly won't pass it up.
Ah Guang hooked his arm around Lin Nai's shoulder: "Hehe, if there's media around, you'd better put on a good show. This is a golden opportunity to become famous overnight! Last year, many contestants who made it to the finals, regardless of the official support and rewards, immediately landed a ton of advertising and endorsement deals after the competition, making a fortune..."
Linnaeus glanced at the media in the distance and said leisurely, "I have no interest in becoming famous."
Soon, after everyone finished their meal, they went to the competition venue together.
The venue for this round of matches is a huge stadium.
It is known as the Dragon Nest Stadium.
"Hello, please show your identification." Several referees stopped them at the door.
Lin Nai, Tang Hongshan, and others all presented their credentials.
When the girl presented the proof at night, she was suddenly taken aback.
In her consciousness, it seemed as if something was drawing her in.
The girl's gaze swept over and landed on one of the referees standing at the back. He was a referee who looked quite young.
The appearance was unfamiliar, yet there was a strange sense of familiarity about it.
The young referee, wearing a baseball cap, revealed a pair of bright blue eyes with pupils as sharp as a wolf's. He stared directly at Ye Wan'er and grinned at her with a chilling, playful smile.
My heart skipped a beat that night.
That look in his eyes...
Lin Nai glanced at Wan Ye'er beside her and whispered, "What's wrong?"
"No...it's nothing..." Ye Wan'er shook her head and handed her identification to the referee.
The girl glanced at the young referee again.
Their appearances are completely different.
But that look in his eyes...
After passing through security, everyone entered the venue together.
Upon entering the venue, Ah Guang and the others were once again amazed by its vast size.
It is surrounded by stands, which can accommodate at least 100,000 people.
In the center is a huge arena, from which ten smaller martial arts combat arenas are set up. The arena is spacious enough that it is more than enough even for battles between superhumans.
Media outlets from major television stations have already begun setting up cameras around the venue.
