When Linna and Ye returned to the tournament venue in the afternoon, the round of 16 matches were already underway.
Fortunately, Linnaeus's match was in the later rounds and hadn't started yet, so he wasn't considered late.
"Nai-ge, you're finally back." Meng Feifei breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you guys were having too much fun and lost track of time."
Looking at Meng Feifei's mischievous grin, you could tell he was doing it on purpose.
Night fell, her face flushed, as if she wanted to explain but didn't know how.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense." Lin Nai raised her hand and punched him lightly, then asked, "How's the competition going?"
Tang Hongshan said, "There are a total of 8 matches in the round of 16, and 4 matches have already been played. Your match hasn't even started yet, so your return is just in time."
Linnaeus nodded gently.
Meng Feifei spread her hands and said, "Lao Hua and I have already advanced. This year's opponents were a piece of cake..."
Lin Yuxi turned her head and glanced at him: "You fought that Du Hua University player for more than an hour in the battle scene before you finally defeated him, and you even lost an arm in the end. You call that easy?"
"..." Meng Feifei retorted, "I was just worried that Brother Nai would be late, so I was stalling for time for him. Otherwise, I could have dealt with that guy much earlier!"
Linna ignored their arguing and looked towards the center of the playing field.
This is the fifth match, with Bai Liao facing off against Jiang Zifeng from the Taoist Academy.
Bai Liao's opponent in this match was not weak, but his mentality was obviously not good. Faced with Bai Liao's repeated feints and sneak attacks, he quickly revealed his weaknesses.
Finally, he was stabbed in a vital spot by the White Fang Dagger, and a series of Shadow Combos slit his throat, taking him down.
"Match over! Zecheng University, Bai Liao, wins!"
The referee announced the result of the match.
Jiang Zifeng walked dejectedly to the Taoist's preparation area, his face full of apology, and said, "Master, I'm sorry, I've let you down..."
Cha Yizhou took a sip of tea, put it down, and smiled faintly: "It's alright, you've done your best. That Bai Liao is indeed stronger than you. Sit down, have some tea, take a break, and continue watching the rest of the matches."
"The next match is between Liang Ao from the Gene Company's directly affiliated academy and Lu Xiaoda from the Mo Family Academy."
The referee announced: "The match will begin in ten minutes. Please proceed to the arena immediately to prepare."
The preparation area for the gene company.
Brother Zhang frowned immediately: "Where has Liang Ao been? The competition is about to start and he still hasn't come back."
Brother Li said coldly from the side, "As for the Night Watch, Lin Nai is back. Could it be that Liang Ao was trying to make a move but got caught red-handed?"
Zhang Ge suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed.
At this moment, Liang Ao finally appeared.
"Where have you been, kid?" Brother Zhang asked sternly. "Don't you have any sense of time? Do you have to come back right on time?"
Liang Ao immediately lowered his voice and said, "Brother Zhang, I have my reasons... Let's not talk about that now. I've already completed the task you assigned me!"
Zhang Ge's expression changed slightly: "What?? Which mission are you talking about?"
Liang Ao chuckled, "Of course it's the mission to collect the extraordinary genes of the Apostles. I've already obtained Linnai's soul power sample!" As he spoke, he carefully took out the soul power sample collector.
Zhang was stunned for a moment, then immediately took the sample collection device, his eyes still filled with disbelief: "Are you serious?"
"Of course, why would I lie to you?"
How did you do that?
Liang Ao honestly recounted the events he had experienced as he remembered them.
Brother Zhang looked at him strangely: "This Lin Nai, how come she has such low guard? She let you collect a sample so easily?"
Liang Ao chuckled and said, "Brother Zhang, sometimes that's just how people are. Even the smartest person can make a mistake. I personally extracted this from Lin Nai's body, how could it be fake?"
“Hmm…” Brother Zhang pondered, looking at the sample collector in his hand.
"Okay, if you really manage to do this, the company will definitely reward you handsomely!" Brother Zhang patted Liang Ao's shoulder hard. "Now, go prepare for the competition!"
Liang Ao: "Okay..."
Linnaeus looked toward the Gene Company's preparation area.
Lin Nai had already overheard Liang Ao and the others' conversation using the Trojan seed left in Liang Ao's system.
'Time was of the essence, Wan'er only created a temporary memory...'
Lin Nai thought to herself, 'Fortunately, it seems that with Liang Ao's intelligence, he doesn't suspect anything at all...'
Soon, Liang Ao and another Mo family contestant stood on the competition field.
The two ultimately chose the following image at random: evening, at a garbage dump.
The illusion opened, and the two entered the scene.
"Mohist School, Lu Xiaoda..." Meng Feifei murmured, reciting the name, "This Mohist School contestant doesn't seem to be very famous..."
They've already made it to the top 16 nationwide.
Most of the contestants were the cream of the crop from their respective schools, and were already well-known and highly regarded prospects before participating in the competition.
This is the only person Meng Feifei had never heard of in the Mohist school.
“Then you are ignorant.” Truman, who was next to him, flipped through his notebook and said, “Lu Xiaoda ranks very high in my data. Even among the current top 16 contestants, his strength ranks in the top 5 in my opinion.”
