As time passed, the huge competition venue was already packed with people.
Han Li, Xue Ye and other heavyweight guests did not enter through the main entrance, but went backstage to rest through a specially reserved passage. They did not appear on the stands yet.
Naturally, the players from the participating colleges did not receive such treatment.
Although they entered the passage separately from the audience, they were still in the same direction, accepting the scrutiny from the public, which could be considered a kind of indirect exposure.
“There are so many people.”
Even though they had already been baptized by the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, except for Ning Rongrong and Dai Mubai, the others in Tang San's group were still somewhat uncomfortable with this kind of scene.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar subconsciously wanted to dodge.
"Stand up straight, everyone. You are representing the Tiandou Royal Academy. In the absence of Team One, you are the face of the academy. Cheer up."
At the front of the team, Flanders was also dressed respectably today, in a gorgeous teacher's uniform, which made him look quite dignified, unless you looked at his eyes.
Hearing his words, several people straightened up subconsciously.
Only Ning Rongrong still didn't care at all and was still looking around at the crowd with interest, while Dai Mubai kept his head down, looking very gloomy.
Seeing this, Flanders didn't say much, shook his head, quickly submitted his application, and walked into the venue with a few people.
There is an area specially designated for the contestants in the venue. Once they enter, there is no need for people to stare at them and comment on them like they are monkeys.
In just this short while, he had already heard several unfriendly voices, most of which were directed at him and Ma Hongjun, but he had no way to fight back.
He would have to take part in the opening match soon, and he couldn't let his teammates' mentality be affected, so he quickened his movements a little.
It was not until they entered the competition venue that the group finally breathed a sigh of relief, returned to their normal ways, and walked towards the rest area prepared for Tiandou Team 2.
"This is totally different from normal fighting spirits. Just thinking about being watched by so many people makes me feel a little uncomfortable."
Ma Hongjun muttered to himself, and Oscar beside him nodded as well. He had similar feelings, especially since he himself had no fighting ability yet.
"It's okay to have this thought now, but when you get on stage, remember to go all out."
Flanders glanced at his apprentice and felt that he was a bit of a loser.
"Teacher, I'll just tell you. Don't worry, when we get on stage, I'll let them see what a phoenix is."
Ma Hongjun patted his round belly and said confidently.
"You'd better..."
Flanders stopped in the middle of his words.
The reason was that a group of people appeared and blocked the road on their way.
They were all participating colleges, with teachers in front and students behind. Behind the teacher who was leading the team, the students were staring at them with unfriendly eyes.
"Teacher Shi, it was them. They were the ones who started the trouble and injured Teacher Ye Zhiqiu. However, they..."
As he spoke, the student's voice gradually became lower, as if he had discovered something.
"Go on, just what?"
The leading teacher's expression did not change, but he grabbed the student who had just spoken.
The student hesitated for a moment, but still spoke through gritted teeth: "It's just that they said they were members of Shrek Academy, not the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy."
"This is?"
Flanders was still a little confused. If he remembered correctly, he should not have seen these students before.
Before the person on the other side could answer, Ma Hongjun's voice sounded behind Flanders:
"Hey, who was that? Isn't this the loser from Canghui Academy? Where's your old turtle teacher? Why is he gone?"
"Do you think you're good enough again? Do you want to find others to take revenge? You didn't expect that I would become a member of Tiandou Royal Academy? What's wrong? You're not going to give up again today, are you? Hahaha."
As Ma Hongjun's voice fell, smiles appeared on Tang San and the others' faces. This reminded them of what happened before, and their originally nervous mood relaxed a lot.
However, they did not notice that an unhappy expression appeared on Ning Rongrong's little face.
For the other people, this was something worth remembering, but for her, it was a period of time when she was excluded by them.
She didn't think it was a big deal at the time, but when she thought about it now, she just felt stupid.
"Very good, Flanders, is this your attitude?"
The gloomy teacher from Canghui Academy opposite him showed a dry and terrifying expression.
"Shi Nian, don't put the blame on me all the time. You should be able to see that I don't know anything about it."
Flanders frowned, as if he remembered that Zhao Wuji had told him about this matter, but he did not take it to heart.
However, when did Shi Nian become a teacher at Canghui College? This is troublesome. Fortunately, they now have the support of Tiandou Royal College, so even if Shi Nian is so vindictive, he dare not take action.
Ma Hongjun said fearlessly, judging from the teacher's appearance, he should know the teacher opposite, but so what? They have a background now, so are they afraid of others causing trouble?
He couldn't let the teacher bring up old issues. You know, the conflict with Canghui Academy was caused by him. But now that it's under the guise of Tiandou Royal Academy, the teacher would most likely choose to give in because he didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
He doesn't want to go on stage to compete and receive more education.
"Shut up."
Flanders turned around and glared at his apprentice, but gave up the idea of backing off and turned to look at Shi Nian:
"I don't know what happened before, but now you are the ones who blocked us. If there is anything, let's solve it on the ring later? If you win, I will apologize to you on behalf of my students. If you lose, let's just pretend nothing happened. How about that?"
Seeing that their actions had attracted many people's attention, Flanders chose to cut the Gordian knot.
This kind of thing must not be reported to the Education Committee, otherwise, he would inevitably be punished, even if it happened before he entered the college.
"Hehe, Flanders, you and your students are just as shameless."
The gloomy middle-aged man opposite was so angry that he laughed. It turned out that they were to blame. He had only said two sentences so far.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Hey, the one called Shi Nian, listen to me carefully. This matter has nothing to do with me. You can do whatever you want in the future."
"You can cause trouble for them, but if you dare to provoke me, I don't mind making you disappear. I, Ning Rongrong, keep my word. Now, get out of my way."
But Ning Rongrong couldn't help it. You can scold them if you want, but why do you have to involve me too? I didn't do anything.
Don't worry about the reason, she didn't get any increase at all.
She pushed aside the others and walked to the front, pointing at Shi Nian's nose and started to scold him.
Her actions immediately quieted the scene.
Shi Nian's face twitched. How did he run into this lady? In the Tiandou Empire, any spirit master with a little knowledge knew that one should not mess with the name Ning Rongrong.
The student next to him also whispered: "Teacher Shinian, she really didn't make a move."
Shi Nian glanced at him. Do you need to tell me that? Don't say she didn't do it. Even if she did, I have to pretend she didn't do it.
And damn, wasn't it agreed to be a shabby academy? Now it has become the Tiandou Royal Academy. The difficulty is not a little bit higher. Even for the well-known waste team 2, the operation difficulty is much higher.
However, it's not the defeat, they are just a few kids, and they don't seem to have any background. As long as they don't go too far, we can still control them.
Of course, the first thing to do is to solve the big trouble in front of her. Fortunately, it seems that her relationship with other people is not very good.
Thinking of this, Shi Nian forced a smile on his stiff old face and looked at Ning Rongrong: "Of course, it has nothing to do with you, Miss Ning. I didn't mean to affect you with my words just now. I apologize to you. Please give my regards to Sect Master Ning later."
"Forget it, it's boring, get out of the way, we're going to pass by."
Ning Rongrong looked back at her teammates who were also a little dazed, and took the lead to walk through the crowd in front that had already made way and headed towards the rest area.
What is going on? I was so happy. I was saying that today was a sure win in the opening match. I would ask my dad for a reward after winning. But now, I am not in the mood.
"For Miss Ning's sake, let's forget about it today. We'll meet on the ring."
Seeing that Ning Rongrong had left, Shi Nian glanced at the other people one by one, memorized their appearance, smiled sinisterly at Flanders, and left with the people from Canghui College.
"Teacher, he..."
Ma Hongjun moved closer to Flanders, but Flanders covered his mouth with his hand.
"You, and all of you, don't speak out of turn. Shi Nian is also a Soul Sage, and I can tell you responsibly that I am no match for him."
Flanders looked at them with a warning look: "Canmeng Shinian is also very famous in the spirit master world. His martial soul is Canmeng, which is extremely vicious and difficult to deal with. Many people who offended him were lost quietly. Don't make trouble for him."
"You are now students of Tiandou Royal Academy. He shouldn't dare to do anything. Just play the game well. I will go find him and help you with the previous matters."
"Okay, let's go. If it weren't for Rongrong, I would have been laughed at today."
Flanders sighed and walked forward first. Although Ning Rongrong had just divided them with words, this was the fastest and most effective solution at the moment.
So, he still has to go and thank them.
Following behind Flanders, the few of them became much quieter, and once again truly realized the difference in status between them and Ning Rongrong, and they also took this competition more seriously.
Although I am still a little dissatisfied with what Ning Rongrong said just now, who doesn't want to be like her?
Just as they were about to reach the rest area, suddenly, behind them, they heard noisy voices, more than twice as loud as when they entered.
"Look, it's Tianshui College."
Several people also subconsciously looked back, and after noticing a familiar figure, they couldn't help but shrink their pupils, and their peripheral vision unconsciously glanced at Dai Mubai beside them.
Because, Zhu Zhuqing was among the team from Tianshui College.
