This was a consensus reached by the nine people excluding Shen Qian.
...
The bus arrived at the door of the lounge, and everyone got off.
After entering the simply decorated lounge, Cheng Qingqing clapped her hands to gather everyone together.
"Although the 'Nine Heavens Cup' has more than 600 participating universities, the competition will be completed in two tight days, without stopping day or night... During this period, I do not want to see anyone absent."
As Cheng Qingqing spoke, she deliberately glared at Shen Qian, who was huddled in the corner.
Shen Qian innocently shrugged, while the others exchanged knowing smiles.
"In half an hour, it will be time for all the university participants to make their collective appearance. This will be broadcast live to the world, so everyone be alert. Remember to bring your clothes and change into them now!"
Cheng Qingqing then gave instructions.
The girls were fine, but the boys couldn't quite understand why they had to be so formal about participating in a competition. In fact, Cheng Qingqing even took them to get their hair done yesterday.
However, everyone was sensible and no one raised any objections; they all obediently headed to the locker room.
After changing their clothes, everyone stopped talking and closed their eyes to rest.
Soon, there was a knock on the inside door of the lounge. Cheng Qingqing walked out of the room, exchanged a few words with the staff outside, and then turned around and said lazily, "You little rascals, it's time!"
Ning Zhiyuan stood up and smiled slightly, "Go, let the world know just how the re-established Jiangzhong military is this time!"
Everyone took a deep breath and nodded with a somber expression.
Although the atmosphere has been relaxed since we boarded the bus, everyone except Shen Qian is under considerable pressure.
The sinking was just a microcosm of the Jiangzhong military forces, and in reality, the overall reputation of the Jiangzhong military forces on the internet is generally poor.
In particular, the incident of the student who challenged Wuhan University of Science and Technology was exposed online by someone, which sparked countless discussions.
People will not care about what happened later, nor will they know.
They would only think that Suzhou University of Science and Technology and Wuhan University truly deserved their reputation as one of the top four universities, and then, standing on their keyboards, they would criticize the freshmen's military skills.
The students of Jiangzhong Military Academy also have the identity of military personnel; they will abide by discipline and will not engage in online arguments with others.
But that doesn't mean they don't have anger inside.
At least for now, Shen Qian, standing at the end of the line, could feel the suppressed flames emanating from the nine balls of fire directly in front of him.
"...The next batch of martial arts freshmen to enter comes from a once legendary prestigious school!"
Led by Zhao Keyi, the group had just turned into the passageway when a loud and clear broadcast broke through the barriers, accompanied by a noisy and enthusiastic chorus of voices that reached their ears.
"Ten years ago, it was almost undisputed the top university in the country, and was known as the cradle of mountains and seas, and a holy land for military warriors."
"A sudden change caused the once-glorious top university to fall silently. Now it has risen from the ashes. Will it be a triumphant return, or will it fall into mediocrity?"
"The answer is today!"
"Let us warmly welcome the ten outstanding talents from Jiangzhong Military Academy!"
The host's passionate and inspiring words echoed throughout the room, making the already noisy crowd even more enthusiastic.
"Damn, I'm suddenly a little nervous!"
Yue Dakan tightened his grip on the fan and muttered a curse under his breath.
"Me too……"
Shangguan Ting nodded honestly.
Although the others remained silent, they were clearly in no better shape.
Because just ten meters away, at the very end, the moment they step out, they will face the scrutinizing gazes of hundreds of millions.
"How about... we take this moment as the beginning of a legend?"
Just as the nine people were hesitating slightly, an extremely calm voice came from behind them.
The nine people were taken aback, looked back, exchanged smiles, and strode out.
The calm before the final sinking was not feigned; even millions of heavenly soldiers and generals could not change his expression in the slightest. This scene could only be considered a medium-sized one at best.
The light suddenly became blinding.
As the ten people walked out of the passageway led by Cheng Qingqing, a sudden burst of screams and cheers engulfed them.
The elevator platform beneath their feet lifted them to a higher position, where the view inside the venue became clear.
The main stadium, which can hold 200,000 people, was packed to capacity. The dais on the north side had 30 to 50 seats. Looking ahead, one could see Wu Wei sitting in the center.
The martial arts minister personally attended!
Shen was somewhat surprised, but upon reflection, it made perfect sense.
Given the level of this Jiutian Cup, it would be a bit strange if Wu Wei didn't personally attend the opening ceremony.
Before sinking, he saw his own principal, the Earl of Pingyang, but there were no other princes or marquises present. Of the nine ministers, only Wu Wei came.
There is also an open space on the south side of the venue, but it is not used for seating.
A crystal trophy, half a person's height and engraved with a divine dragon, stands there, representing the highest honor of this extraordinary college cup.
In any case, apart from Shen Qian, everyone else immediately turned their gaze to that place, their eyes radiating undisguised fervor.
When the ten people stood still hundreds of meters in the air, and their images were projected onto the large screen, Shen Qian could hear their discussions even without emitting his spiritual power.
"Are these all the elite freshmen from Jiangzhong Military Academy this year?"
"Judging by its sheer presence, it's alright, not inferior to other prestigious schools..."
"I heard he was the top scholar in nine provinces. No matter what the teaching level of Jiangzhong Military Academy is, his foundation is guaranteed."
