That was the area where the Shenwu team was located, and a handsome young man stood tall and elegant, smiling as he looked at Shen Qian. However, in his eyes, besides the feeling of being separated for a long time, there was also a burning fighting spirit.
"Cao Qian!"
Shen Qian quickly recognized the young man with the captain's insignia hanging on his arm.
Compared to six months ago, the other party has also changed a lot. At least without using mental power to directly investigate, Shen Qian found that he could not see through the other party.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"Even though you're a substitute, you'll still play, right?"
After a simple and routine exchange of pleasantries, Cao Qian's gaze suddenly sharpened as he looked directly at Chen Qian and asked.
"Since you've said I'm a substitute, then I obviously have no choice but to follow the school's arrangements," Shen Qian replied ambiguously.
"If you can't play, then this 'Nine Heavens Cup' will lose a lot of meaning for me. I hope you won't let me down."
Cao Qian smiled meaningfully.
"What do you mean?" Shen Qian didn't quite understand.
"If it weren't for you and Wang Shuo, I wouldn't have wanted to participate in this 'Nine Heavens Cup' at all. What honorary titles are just empty names to me."
Cao Qian said calmly, "Wang Shuo is already showing signs of becoming the number one person of the new generation. Defeating him is something I must do. As for you... you are my unresolved inner demon. I have been waiting for this battle for half a year!"
Chen Qian chuckled slightly, but everyone else present found it extremely uncomfortable.
Cao Qian's remarks, though seemingly insignificant, were in fact extremely arrogant!
That is to say, apart from Wang Shuo and Shen Qian, he doesn't take anyone else in his eyes.
Even if it was Shen Qian, it was only to understand his long-cherished wish, not because he truly believed that Shen Qian was stronger than him now.
"What an arrogant Cao Qian! I'm afraid you'll regret it later."
A young man with a cold and stern face and long hair stood up from Hua Wu's ranks and said coldly.
"Sima Xing".
As if afraid that Shen Qian wouldn't recognize him, Li Jiaqi whispered a reminder in his ear from behind.
"Wang Shuo is here!"
Just then, someone shouted something, and as if by some unspoken agreement, all the hundreds of people present looked in a certain direction.
Shen Qian was quite surprised to see this scene. It seems that during the years he "disappeared from the public eye," Wang Shuo's name was much more famous than he had imagined.
A young man with striking features and a composed demeanor shone through Bei Wu's line of men, before finally stopping in the passageway.
Unlike anyone else, Wang Shuo didn't look at anyone else, but from the moment he appeared, he fixed his gaze firmly on Shen Qian.
"Substitute?"
Wang Shuo uttered two words softly.
"Substitute." Shen Qian nodded.
"Hehehe..."
Wang Shuo suddenly chuckled, leaving everyone puzzled.
“Shen Qian, I don’t know what you’re pretending for, but I hope you can really hold back from taking action. After all… I don’t really want to fight here either.”
After saying this, Wang Shuo strode away and went straight into Beiwu's rest area, disappearing from sight.
Everyone was baffled, not knowing what Wang Shuo meant, except for Shen Qian, whose eyes narrowed and who felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both emotion and reflection).
"As expected, your enemy is always the one who understands you best!"
Everyone thought that Shen Qian had truly run out of talent, which was why he had to be relegated to a substitute position.
Wang Shuo, however, never even considered this possibility.
In other words, in his eyes, Shen Qian was just showing off. Although this was not close to the truth, he did not underestimate Shen Qian's strength at all.
"Interesting, but I wonder how many surprises you can still give me now..."
Before sinking in, he murmured something in a voice that no one else could hear.
After meeting the teams from other universities, Cheng Qingqing led everyone to the seats belonging to Jiangzhong Military Martial Arts, where Ning Zhiyuan was already waiting.
In this situation, Ning Zhiyuan and Cheng Qingqing could not say anything more, but Geng Qianqiu and the others did not care.
"Wuhan University of Science and Technology is really quiet today!"
"Hey, isn't that girl Qu Xiangyun, the legendary niece of the Goddess of the Luo River?"
"Shen Qian, tell me honestly, did you flirt with her back then? I felt like that girl was staring at you the whole time!"
As for why there's been no word from Suzhou University of Science and Technology, Yue Dakan and others are well aware of the reason.
Although they did not know the specific details of Shen Qian's attack on the school, it was clear that Suzhou University of Science and Technology had been thoroughly defeated that time.
Seeing the ambiguous looks in their eyes, Shen Qian couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"Yes." To everyone's surprise, they all nodded in unison.
Shen Qian was too lazy to argue anymore; what was the point of provoking him?
If he were truly willing, the Marquis of Luoshen once said he would introduce Qu Xiangyun to him; given his status as a king, it was unlikely to be just a casual remark.
Shen Qian glanced at Bei Wu's seats but didn't see Ding Yi. However, judging from the fact that there were still two empty seats among the official team members, Ding Yi must have already arrived.
Just as Shen Qian was pondering whether to sneak over to Bei Wu's lounge and say a few words to him, a sudden commotion erupted at the entrance to this area.
Everyone looked up and were taken aback.
A group of young people dressed similarly to them strode in, and even from a distance, one could sense their barely concealed, steely aura.
