After everything was ready, the opening ceremony of the Griffin Star Martial Arts Festival was held. Of course, the leaders still gave boring speeches. Mathias spoke enthusiastically, and the contestants were also excited. However, the student council presidents had no interest and seemed bored. Not only Fang Zheng, but even Fan Xinglu and Sylvia looked indifferent at this moment.

After wasting half of the morning, the boring opening ceremony finally ended, and the contestants began to leave one after another, going to other places to rest and prepare for the competition starting in the afternoon.

But just when Fang Zheng was about to leave, someone suddenly came over quietly and called him.

"Kasugano-kun, this way, this way."

Fang Zheng turned around and saw Sylvia, who had changed her clothes, hiding in the corner of the corridor, waving at him with a smile, so Fang Zheng walked over.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm planning on going back. Hey... this is also work. If I can avoid coming, I don't want to come."

"Are you going back?"

"Yes, I plan to go back and accompany Ursula. This is her first time watching the Star Warrior Festival. If I hadn't forced her to stay, she might have come to the scene."

"Do you mean she's still in danger now?"

"It's hard to say. Although I have reported the situation, and Aoi Enwei Girls' School has accepted Ursula as a music teacher again...but it's better to be careful now."

"That's true. Come on, then."

This was Sylvia's private matter, and Fang Zheng didn't take it too seriously. Sylvia just giggled, then reached out and took out a lunch box from her bag.

"By the way, I'm here to give this to you."

"This is?"

"Thank you for saving the teacher and helping me solve a headache. I cooked this myself. Don't look at me like this. I am quite confident in cooking."

"Then I'll take it."

Fang Zheng took the lunch box, glanced at the corridor in the distance, and then looked away. Sylvia also chuckled, took a few steps back, and waved at Fang Zheng.

"Then I should go back. Good luck in your first battle... But you definitely won't lose, right?"

"Is that even a question?"

The two of them left separately, and after a while, two girls poked their heads out from the shadow of the vending machine at the back of the distant corridor - they were none other than the members of the Lusaluka team that Fang Zheng had met before.

"…Hello, Tulia?"

"What is it? Michelle Xue?"

"Did you see...just now?"

“…Yeah, I see.”

"That's Sylvia...right?"

"…It must be Sylvia."

Having said that, the two looked at each other, with surprise in each other's eyes.

The student council president of Aoi Enwei Girls' Academy, the world's number one singer, actually has a boyfriend?

This is big news!!!

While the contestants were making their own preparations, people on live broadcasts and TV shows had already begun predicting who would be the most likely to win this year's Griffin Star Martial Arts Festival.

"When it comes to the champion candidates, the first choice is the Silver Wing Knights of Saint Galledovus, especially the Lancelot team, led by the user of the Holy Sword, the Holy Knight Ernest Fairclough. Four of the five members are familiar faces who showed their skills in the last Griffin Star Martial Festival, and the only new member is also a user of the Pure Star Brilliant Armament Holy Grail. According to the information, the team of Saint Galledovus that has both the Holy Sword and the Holy Grail in history has never been defeated, and is a perennial winner."

"Then what about Team Tristan, the other team of Saint Galledovus? Although they were the runner-up in the last tournament, almost all of their core members have graduated, and now they are made up of new members. They may become an unstable factor."

"But even though they are new members, they are still a strong team ranked sixth and have a great chance of competing for the championship..."

In the media, almost everyone is more optimistic about St. Galletto Academy. Just like how Lewolf Black Academy almost monopolized the championship of the Dragon King Star Martial Festival with the help of the "Lone Poison Witch", St. Galletto Academy also relied on their knight-like rules and strength to dominate the championship of the Griffin Star Martial Festival.

Only the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival is prone to failure and upset due to the restriction of two participants.

"Then if we talk about Saint Galledovas's strongest rivals... the first team that comes to mind should be the Enfield team of Seidoukan Academy."

"That's right. After all, the team includes the runner-up team of the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival, and also includes the student council president of the Star Guide Hall Academy, Miss Claudia Enfield, the Thousand-See Leader. She is the user of the Pure Star Brilliance Weapon Pandora, which can predict the future, and is ranked second, which is enough to fight against the two major teams of Saint Galledovaz."

"But Jielong's Huanglong team should not be underestimated, especially since they also have Wanyou Tianluo's top disciple who finally agreed to participate in the Star Martial Festival. This shows that he is also a very good player. There is also the third place partner of the Phoenix Star Martial Festival, and the very active Li brothers and sisters. It can be imagined that they are also favorable candidates for the championship."

"Then...what about Team Sky Sword, led by Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival champion Kasugano?"

At this moment, the host quickly threw out a sharp question, and the commentator seemed embarrassed when he heard her question.

"This... to be honest, this is really hard to predict, because we learned that due to some special reasons, the two players who were originally scheduled to participate in the Griffin Star Martial Arts Festival chose to withdraw, and Kasugano chose the Urseth sisters who transferred from Leiwolf Black Academy as substitutes. The elder sister, Irene Urseth, was once the third in Leiwolf Black Academy, but her Huang-style weapon "Hegemony Blood Scythe" has been returned to Leiwolf Black Academy, so it is really hard to say what Irene's strength is at the moment."

At this point, the narrator paused.

"As for her sister Priscilla, she was not ranked before, and this is probably her first time participating in the competition. And there is also player Hodaka Masaru, she performed well in the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival, but unfortunately she was eliminated in the end... Generally speaking, it is difficult for such a team to guarantee the strength to win the championship, but..."

"Ah, the previous duel between Kasugano and Lewolf Black Academy, right?"

"Yeah, so at this point, I'm not sure whether this team can win the championship."

As the commentator said, in fact, at the beginning, most teams only focused on Fang Zheng's individual strength, or at most the combination of him and Julie. They did not think they could go too far in the Griffin Star Martial Arts Festival, which emphasized teamwork.

However, the live broadcast of Fang Zheng's duel against the entire Leiwolf Black Academy alone directly overturned their idea. Although not every student in Leiwolf Black Academy has the strength to participate in the Star Martial Festival, facing a siege that is several times his size, Fang Zheng seemed relaxed and at ease, and almost swept the entire academy with a crushing momentum.

Although the duel was finally stopped by Diluk, and the Lone Poison Witch did not show up, it was certain based on Fang Zheng's strength at the time - this man was really strong to an unreasonable degree.

If the Griffin Star Martial Festival had not required a team competition, he might have been able to win the championship by himself - this possibility is not absent.

So it can be said that this team is the most difficult to predict. After all, generally speaking, team competitions are meant to suppress individualism to the extreme. But if someone is so strong that he can defeat an entire team by himself, then it is really hard to say what the outcome will be.

However, the Griffin Star Martial Festival was not without its share of upsets, because unlike the Phoenix Star Martial Festival, the Griffin Star Martial Festival would win as long as they could destroy the badge worn by the captain. And it was obvious that Fang Zheng would definitely wear the badge on himself, so if they could defeat the other four people and then join forces to attack Fang Zheng, they would not have a complete chance of breaking the badge on him and winning.

Of course, these had nothing to do with Fang Zheng. At this moment, he had already entered the stadium with the other four girls. Opposite them was the Black Venom Team, who were wearing the uniforms of the Leiwolf Black Academy and looked like gangsters.

They are dressed like soldiers and their team name also sounds like soldiers. There is no hope.

"I didn't expect to meet you here again..."

The tattooed man in the lead held a Huang-style weapon and glared at Fang Zheng fiercely.

"Just right. This time I'll let you know how powerful our Leiwolf Black Academy is. Even though I didn't think I'd win from the beginning, I'll at least drag your people along with me. Then you can watch how your woman howls and screams in pain! Hahahahaha!"

The lines he said were standard villain lines, he is really hopeless.

"I'll leave it to you."

Fang Zheng didn't even look at the other person, but just looked at Julie and the others.

"You guys can handle this level of miscellaneous soldiers, right?"

"certainly!"

Irene swung the sickle in her hand viciously.

"I've fought a lot of these bastards before. They're just a bunch of useless trash."

"elder sister?"

Hearing what Irene said, Priscilla stared at her unhappily, and the latter immediately shrank back.

"Okay, okay, I won't say any more dirty talk."

It turns out that my sister is in charge of my brother.

"Well then, the Griffin Star Martial Arts Festival, Group C, first round, first bout, begins!!"

“Fire!!”

The moment the match was announced to start, the five thugs on the opposite side turned their guns around, pointed them at Fang Zheng and the others, and pulled the trigger. Light bullets flew out like a storm, covering Fang Zheng and the others in a cloud of dust.

“Hahahahahaha, let me see what you guys are going to do now!!”

Looking at the scene in front of him, the tattooed man laughed. However, at this moment, the smoke on the opposite side suddenly swelled and exploded in an instant. Then, a figure wearing heavy armor and holding a huge spear rushed out from it and rushed straight towards the Venom Team!

"What's this?!"

Seeing Hodaka Masaru covered in armor, the tattooed man was also shocked.

"Focus your fire! Focus your fire! Kill this woman!!"

Amid the roar of the tattooed man, everyone turned their guns and aimed at Hodaka Masayuki and pulled the trigger again. However, their attacks did not even stop Hodaka Masayuki. At this moment, holding a cavalry rifle and wearing armor, Hodaka Masayuki was like a human tank speeding forward. Ordinary bullets hitting her huge rifle and body were just like pistol bullets hitting 150mm thick tank armor, and had no effect at all. On the contrary, Hodaka Masayuki accelerated again and rushed in front of the five people in the blink of an eye.

"Quick, disperse!"

Seeing the other party rushing over, the tattooed man hurriedly ordered his companions to disperse. However, at this moment, a figure suddenly leaped out from behind Hodaka Masaru!

"Hahaha, a bunch of losers! Watch out!!"

Irene, who fell from the sky, laughed and clenched the giant sickle in her hand, and smashed it heavily into the crowd like a cannonball. Then she swung the giant sickle like a whirlwind, knocking several people away in an instant.

“Damn it!!”

Seeing that his side collapsed after only a few seconds, the tattooed man gritted his teeth and retreated. However, before he could react, suddenly, a cold light suddenly emerged from his blind spot and swept across the tattooed man's chest. The next moment, the badge he was wearing broke into two and fell to the ground.

At this moment, the commentator's shouting sounded again.

"The game is over! Team Tianjian finished the game in just 20 seconds!!!"
