The predictions about the participating contestants are also pinned to the top of major websites, with over 200 million people participating in the predictions.
Amidst various discussions, the final match has entered its final minute countdown.
The sounds inside the main stadium slowly faded away, and everyone looked expectantly at the huge and dazzling arena.
There is a set of steps on each side of the arena.
Obviously, the player representing the two universities in the decisive battle will emerge from the ladder.
when!
The hourglass finally burned out, and the bell rang, signaling the start of the competition, but the steps on both sides fell silent.
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps finally echoed from one of the steps.
With the sound amplified as if by amplification, the faint footsteps seemed to strike everyone's hearts like drumbeats.
A handsome young man with a buzz cut, the most common type of military uniform, slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
A touch of gold on his cuff already revealed his identity.
"It's Zhao Keyi!"
A sigh of relief echoed in many places.
Many people felt a mix of emotions, a sense of relief mixed with a hint of disappointment.
Fortunately, Zhao Keyi has once again stood on the stage. This man, who is currently known to be the strongest among the freshmen, will once again show his prowess as a half-step mountain and sea master.
The underlying disappointment stems from a name that is already in the eye of the storm.
"In the end, I still can't witness some things with my own eyes..."
At a seat belonging to the Jiangzhong Military Support Group, Qu Bai's sigh made no attempt to hide his disappointment.
"I told you your intuition was wrong, you owe me a B-grade battle armor!"
Seeing this, Feng Manlin chuckled.
Qu Bai shook his head and remained silent.
"Speaking of Zhao Keyi, he's not bad either. He's at the half-step Mountain and Sea realm. I might not even be his match. How do you know Shen Qian is hiding something even deeper?"
Feng Manlin pressed on relentlessly.
"I don't know." Qu Bai shrugged, then smiled meaningfully. "But in Jiangzhong Military, Zhao Keyi isn't the one being chased!"
Inside the main stadium, Qu Bai was not the only one disappointed to see Jiang Zhongjun appearing, not Shen Qian.
In a corner, a bald man suddenly stood up, blocking the view of the audience sitting behind him.
"Are you crazy? Why are you standing up?!"
One of the young men immediately cursed out loud.
The bald man, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around, revealing half of his face covered with some kind of strange scales. His eyes were like whirlpools in the deep sea, making the young man feel a chill.
After the bald man left, his companion helped the young man, who had collapsed to the ground, to his feet. "Are you crazy? Don't you recognize him?"
"Who...who is he?"
"That overseas hunter in the intelligence roster, a top ten member of the Rising Dragon List, the god of death rumored to have at least a hundred lives on his hands... Shapi!"
A companion whispered a reminder.
Only then did the young man realize the kind of being he had just provoked, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.
Sha Bi was not the only genius from the Rising Dragon Ranking to be present. At least a dozen other figures quietly left the main stadium, clearly showing no interest in the so-called battle between half-step Mountain and Sea Realm experts.
At this moment, Shen Qian, who was standing in the military lounge in Jiangzhong, had no idea that so many people he didn't know were silently watching him.
"Speaking of which, before you left, what exactly did you and Zhao Keyi talk about just now?"
Unable to contain his curiosity, Yue Dakan asked again.
When deciding who would fight in the final match, Zhao Keyi had considered having Shen Qian take the stage, but after a private conversation between the two, Zhao Keyi ultimately decided to fight instead.
Feeling inexplicably uncomfortable, Shen Qian was interrupted by Yue Dakan and temporarily gave up his investigation, simply shaking his head and saying, "I believe he is."
"But... what if Wang Shuo takes the stage?"
Ye Shicong frowned and said, "Although no one can predict Ke Yi's strength as a half-step into the Mountain and Sea realm, Wang Shuo, as the so-called number one freshman with a well-known reputation, I don't think he is necessarily weaker than Ke Yi."
Others also share this concern.
Cao Qian was able to make a breakthrough on the spot, and Wang Shuo was a genuine disciple of a king. The Duke of Yanshan was far superior to the Earl of Minnan.
So after the discussion, everyone almost unanimously agreed that Wang Shuo's strength must be above the Half-Step Mountain and Sea realm.
If Wang Shuo were to actually take the stage, it would be truly uncertain whether Zhao Keyi could match him.
Of course, if it were Chen Qian, they wouldn't have this worry.
"He won't play."
While Beiwu was causing a commotion due to the lack of anyone making an appearance, Shen Qian looked at the other side of the arena and shook his head firmly.
"Why?"
Everyone was taken aback.
"Because he didn't appear before the sinking."
Cheng Qingqing, who was playing a dress-up game nearby, yawned and said lazily, "Bei Wu proposed a decisive battle, which was most likely Wang Shuo's suggestion. He wanted to use this to defeat Chen Qian, but unfortunately, he also defeated himself... Heh, he's quite clever."
Everyone seemed to understand but not quite, except for Chen Qian, who smiled knowingly.
As if to confirm their words, a huge cheer suddenly erupted in the main stadium.
Everyone turned to look and saw a cool and aloof girl carrying a standard longsword slowly stepping onto the other side of the arena.
She was like the bright moon in the sky, or like the cool evening breeze; the moment she appeared, she unconsciously attracted everyone's attention.
"Your charm has only grown stronger, my little sweetheart. There's something about you that feels so familiar..."
