Seeing Mo Ran approach, Zhao Tianlin handed her a room key.
Mo Ran reached out and took it. After chatting for a while in the corridor, the two returned to their respective rooms.
……………………………………………
Time flew by and it was afternoon. The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the entire capital in a golden light.
The 20 students and three teachers who went out returned to the rest area on time, each with a smile on their face, and carrying many snacks and gifts.
Time flew by and it was evening.
The lobby of the rest area was already equipped with numerous tables and various foods. Melodious music, combined with the dazzling lights, created a refreshing atmosphere for everyone who came here.
Students from various colleges who participated in the competition, along with their accompanying teachers, gathered in the lobby for dinner.
Mo Ran and her group were among them. They found a suitable place to sit down, opened the virtual panels on their seats, and selected their favorite food.
Before long, robots delivered steaming hot meals to everyone, very quickly, with a waiting time of only 1 to 2 minutes.
The group chatted and laughed, the students talking about their outing that afternoon.
While eating, Mo Ran kept looking around, and the result was always the same.
Not only that, Mo Ran also noticed that the relationships between some students in different colleges seemed rather strained. At this moment, they were practically at each other's throats, spewing vulgarities, as if they were about to pounce on each other and start a fight at any moment.
However, due to the rules of the capital city and the attention of the nearby inspectors, these people mostly just engaged in verbal sparring and exchanged harsh words.
'Tsk tsk tsk, this scene is really surreal. They were about to fight but they were still able to hold back. I have to say, the rules against fighting in the city are quite strict.'
Mo Ran marveled at the scene, finding it a pleasant pastime during her meal.
Dinner didn't last long, as the students wanted to be in good spirits for the competition the next morning. After finishing their meal, they all returned to their rooms to rest early.
...
Time flew by, and it was already the second day. All the participating students and their accompanying teachers got up early in the morning. All the participating students began to get ready and prepare for the upcoming competition.
When they arrived outside the rest area, there were already quite a few aircraft waiting at the entrance.
These aircraft were all marked with the logos of various academies. After searching for a while, Mo Ran and the others quickly found the aircraft with the logo of Liuguang Academy.
Once all participants were on board, the aircraft convoy set off in a grand procession towards the inner city competition area.
"Look, these are the contestants participating in this student competition. They're setting off!"
"I heard that there are a lot of geniuses who have awakened this year, and the number of those above S-rank is several times that of previous years."
"No matter how many there are, they can't compare to Dragon Roar Academy. I heard that their team has three SSS-level students this time. That's terrifying!"
Many residents looked up at the sky, watching the convoy of aircraft heading towards the inner city. Some even opened their wristbands and clicked into a live stream, which was broadcasting the student competition that was about to begin that day.
"Hello everyone, I am Xiao Tian!"
"Hello everyone, I'm Mengqi!"
As the live stream began, two figures, a man and a woman, appeared in the frame.
The man was handsome and dashing, and the woman was beautiful and charming. The two of them were the hosts of the live broadcast of this competition, and they were currently broadcasting the event live from the scene.
The competition was held at the Imperial Capital Duel Arena, a magnificent and unimaginable giant building that is like a dazzling pearl embedded in the heart of the capital.
When viewed from above, it resembles a circular hub located in the city center, its sheer size leaving people speechless.
At this moment, the area outside the dueling arena was under heavy security, with elite patrol teams on high alert. They surrounded the entire arena in layers, a meticulous deployment to ensure order and safety both inside and outside the arena.
Meanwhile, the plaza in front was bustling with people and incredibly lively. Many spectators had arrived early to watch the game, some whispering to each other, others laughing and chatting, all their eyes focused on the several huge virtual screens in the center of the plaza.
These screens will broadcast the match live. Although the match can be watched online in real time, many people are still willing to travel long distances to come offline.
"Look everyone, the aircraft the contestants are riding in has arrived!"
"Let's zoom out and take a look at the handsome men and beautiful women participating in this competition!"
After Xiao Tian and Meng Qi finished speaking, the two figures on the live stream instantly shrank to the corner of the screen. Then, the center of the screen zoomed in, focusing on the participating students who were disembarking from the aircraft.
"Look at the first aircraft, everyone. The students who disembarked from it are from the Imperial Capital Dragon Roar Academy!"
"I heard that this team has 3 SSS-rank, 5 SS-rank, and 12 S-rank. My God! This is absolutely astonishing!"
As the two hosts finished speaking, all the viewers watching the live broadcast gasped in shock, their faces filled with astonishment.
"Holy crap! Not a single one of the 20 students is below S-rank. The Dragon Roar Academy's team this time is just too strong!"
"Dragon Roar Academy has always been the champion, so it seems that the title of champion for this year can be sealed in advance!"
"There's no way around it. Dragon Roar Academy is the top of the ten academies in Xia Kingdom. The resources and teaching methods it invests in its students are beyond what ordinary people can imagine."
The crowd chattered amongst themselves, all marveling at the power of Dragon Roar Academy.
"The group that disembarked from this aircraft is Liuguang Academy, which ranks fifth among the top ten academies in Xia Kingdom. I didn't expect that even Principal Zhao Tianlin would come along this time!"
"Hey! Look at those four teachers, the young man in the middle seems to be Mr. Mo Ran, who was famous online half a month ago."
"Mengqi, are you talking about that instance that suddenly appeared half a month ago? I never expected that such a young Mr. Mo Ran would join Liuguang Academy as a teacher."
"That's right, Xiao Tian, it's him. I heard that this Mr. Mo Ran is also an SSS-level expert, and during the half month he was in charge of the school, the number of times he went into the dungeon was simply outrageous!"
The two chatted back and forth, and the live stream's perspective kept zooming in on Mo Ran.
Not only the two of them, but all the viewers watching the live stream also started discussing it.
