Faced with Jiang Chuyun's question, Zi Yueru said helplessly.
"Have you forgotten the equipment Ye Gubai wore when he was taking on a group of people during the test?"
"Has your memory... gotten that bad?"
Reminded, Jiang Chuyun's memories surfaced.
When Ye Caidie challenged them to a duel earlier, Ye Gubai entered battle mode and appeared in a set of Flame Witch armor.
So it seems he bought things from his former owner and then went to show off in front of him?
I'd like to ask my former owner for some praise, since he spent a lot of money to buy this equipment.
Embarrassing, humiliating.
I feel uncomfortable and my face turns red.
A variety of strange emotions surfaced, making Jiang Chuyun feel too ashamed to stay there any longer.
He immediately turned around, grabbed his teammates, and fled the scene.
Zi Yue Ru watched Jiang Chu Yun's fleeing figure and teased, "Silly, not smart at all."
"Aren't you afraid he'll hold a grudge against you for exposing him like this?" Ye Gubai asked.
"Don't worry, I've beaten him up before when we were kids." Zi Yue shrugged nonchalantly. "It's just that his job is a bit strong in the early stages after he changes jobs, but I'll still crush him in the later stages."
"It seems you two have a good relationship," Ye Gubai replied.
“Yes, the five major families helped each other back then and weathered several crises together,” Zi Yueru explained. “So their relationship is naturally quite good.”
Upon hearing this explanation, Ye Gubai nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
As Ye Gubai fell silent, Zi Yueru also quieted down.
A few minutes later, the gathering finally came to an end.
The freshmen who can come to Tianlong Academy are not all brain-dead, so there will be no problem with being late.
Even Principal Shang Xianzhi arrived just in time.
His appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the stadium.
Because in his hands he held a round object that emitted a soft glow.
At the heart of the radiance lies an ancient and mysterious prismatic stone.
Ye Gubai guessed that this item was the key prop used in the global competition.
As expected, Shang Xianzhi's explanation confirmed his suspicions.
In his speech, Shang Xianzhi explained the specific function of the treasure he held.
It turned out that the prism he held was just a source of energy.
Specifically, it is a single-use prop.
It originates from the Prism Stone itself, which is the precious fragment that can unlock the global grand competition.
That precious fragment will generate energy, which will coalesce into a prismatic object.
After use, it can mark people within the range.
Once a target is marked, it will be transported to a global competition for testing and combat.
This global competition is divided into two stages. The first stage is to select the best.
All participants were separated and teleported into the test instance in small teams.
The dungeon simulates monsters at various stages; the longer you survive, the higher your team's ranking will be.
"I hope you can give it your all and not be defeated at the very beginning."
"Dying in the test won't really kill you, so don't worry too much about life and death."
"Now you have 3 minutes to form teams."
"In three minutes, I will use the Prism Stone to imprint teleportation marks on you."
Shang Xianzhi's remarks got everyone present busy.
They whispered amongst themselves and started forming teams.
Since no one knew the rules beforehand, they weren't in a hurry to form teams.
Now that I know, I naturally rushed to assemble the team.
Just like Zi Yueru, she had already looked at Ye Gubai at this moment, waiting for the team invitation.
Ye Gubai didn't hesitate and teamed up with him.
"Hehe, don't worry, my family has already prepared skill scrolls. Do you need to give me some as a deposit?" Zi Yue Ru suddenly laughed.
Ye Gubai glanced at her indifferently: "No need, I'm too lazy to bother right now. Just give it to me after the competition."
"Alright, we'll do it your way." Zi Yue Ru smiled and said, "Why haven't I seen you expanding your business or bringing two more people with you?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Gubai was taken aback.
He really hadn't thought of this problem. If he had known, wouldn't it have been more cost-effective to bring two more people and collect two more benefits?
Anyway, the rules this time are based on teams, so there's not much difference between two people and four people.
It won't affect the winning reward; bringing two more will earn you more.
"I hadn't thought of that. I've been too busy lately." Ye Gubai sighed. "Now that you've reminded me, I feel like I've lost a fortune."
Zi Yue smiled and said, "Haha, if you don't mind, I can help you find someone who can afford the price next time."
"We can consider that, we'll talk about it later."
Ye Gubai nodded and did not refuse.
This is ultimately a good thing for him; why would he refuse to come?
Once the three-minute preparation time was up, Shang Xianzhi called out to everyone.
"Stand still! Don't move!"
"If the prism mark isn't attached, you won't be able to get teleportation privileges."
After saying this, Shang Xianzhi raised the prism in his hand.
This thing couldn't be stored in his personal backpack, making it incredibly difficult for him to carry it around.
Now, it can finally be used.
"start!"
With a loud shout, Shang Xianzhi crushed the prism in his hand and then waved his hand at the crowd in the stadium.
The shattered prisms transformed into a massive ball of energy, accompanied by a dazzling array of colors, which fell toward the crowd.
Everyone in the arena, including Ye Gubai, was enveloped in a radiant glow.
These rays flowed across the surface of a person, as if scanning over the entire body.
It then flowed to the right hand, where it condensed into an X symbol on the back of the hand.
The symbols flashed, moving rhythmically like breathing.
"Alright, the mark has been successfully applied."
"Once you are marked, you will be teleported into another dimension as soon as the competition begins."
"So I suggest you don't wander around. If something goes wrong during the teleportation process, you could die."
"After all, this competition involves real bodies entering the arena."
After giving her reminder, Shang Xianzhi leaned back in her chair to rest, waiting for the grand competition to begin.
The students didn't run around; they obediently stayed in place and waited for the teleportation to begin.
Before long, a strange sense of oppression appeared in everyone's hearts.
Faced with this power, even Ye Gubai couldn't help but feel his own insignificance.
It's like an ant encountering a towering tree, or a tadpole encountering a giant whale.
"The teleportation has arrived!"
"This oppressive feeling is the will of Earth, and it is harmless."
"So relax, don't be afraid, this is no threat to you."
Hearing this reminder, everyone was relieved.
Feeling the surging power of Blue Star's will, Ye Gubai sighed softly.
"As expected, compared to the will of Earth, the individual human being is so insignificant as to be negligible."
