(I just realized that the chapter numbers in the previous chapters were written wrong...so embarrassing)
The seemingly peaceful night passed quickly.
The next morning, Su Mu brought Tushan Mimi to the flying sword competition venue.
Unlike the flying sword rally, the flying sword competition of the Grand Order is held in a stadium.
After the game starts, a magic circle will be activated in the venue to simulate various tracks and obstacles. There will also be a light curtain facing the audience seats, which will give close-ups of the players and exciting replays.
Although the flying sword competition is about the speed of flying swords, it is allowed to attack the opponent, so the contestants need to sprint at full speed and pay attention to the surrounding situation. If they are not careful, they may be knocked down by their competitors.
Such competitions are not only highly competitive, but also very entertaining and exciting. It is difficult to determine who the winner is until the last moment.
Because before crossing the finish line, anyone who is in the lead may be attacked by concentrated fire from those behind.
Sitting in the audience, Su Mu held a booklet in his hand, which not only contained the rules of the flying sword competition, but also an introduction to the star players.
This booklet is not provided by the organizer, but printed and distributed by Sports Lottery.
On the first page of the booklet, there was a line of bold words printed: Macau’s first online... bah, it’s a sports lottery, and then there was a QR code, which one could scan to place bets on the game.
After reading the rules of the game, Su Mu muttered, "This kind of competition is a bit like a plumber racing prop race... It's also very similar to the kart game from a long time ago."
"What are you mumbling about?"
Lin Jian'e and Jiang Xiaobai also came to the competition venue. They saw Su Mu and Tushan Mi Mi from afar and waved at them. When they walked over, they just heard Su Mu's muttering.
"Nothing, you guys came quite early."
Su Mu greeted the two of them with a smile, and put the things used to reserve a seat into the storage magic tool.
Tushan Mimi, who wanted to learn sword fighting, was originally looking at the flying sword players warming up in the arena with envy and admiration. But when Lin Jian'e arrived, she immediately turned around and asked, "Senior Sister Lin, Senior Sister Lin, you must be better than them, right?"
Lin Jian'e smiled and said, "If it's a martial arts competition, I'm confident that I can beat them. But if it's a swordfight, I may not be able to beat them."
Su Mu nodded and joked, "This is the truth. After all, you can't drink during a sword race. If you drink, it will be considered drunk driving and you will be disqualified from the competition."
"That's right." Jiang Xiaobai nodded in agreement, "A Jian'e who hasn't drunk alcohol is not in her complete form, so her strength will be discounted."
"Yes." Lin Jian'e was not angry. She patted the wine gourd on her waist and said arrogantly: "If this competition allows drinking, then I dare say that all the participants are younger brothers!"
After everyone chatted and laughed for a while, the topic turned to the online foundation-building class that took place last night.
Jiang Xiaobai gave Su Mu a thumbs up and praised him from the bottom of his heart.
"Your lecture last night was so good. I originally wanted to support you and then go watch the drama, but I couldn't stop listening and ended up listening to the whole class."
"I thought it was just me, but I didn't expect it was you too."
Lin Jian'e took over the conversation and continued to praise: "Although Su Mu's class is about foundation building, I found that many of the knowledge points in it are also applicable to us. There are even some knowledge points that I feel are related to Dan formation?"
Su Mu smiled and said modestly, "Thank you for the compliment, Senior Sisters."
Then he said, "There is indeed continuity between foundation building and Dan formation in some knowledge points. Therefore, many people who have learned the foundation building knowledge very well will have a smoother time than others when forming Dan."
"So that's how it is." Lin Jian'e suddenly realized.
Jiang Xiaobai even said, "When I get back, I will take out the book on foundation building and review it carefully to prepare for Dan formation."
Lin Jian'e nodded. She thought so too.
As they were chatting and laughing, spectators who came to watch the game came in one after another. There were more and more people, and the game time was about to begin.
Tushan Mi Mi can't wait any longer.
Suddenly, Lin Jian'e's expression changed slightly. She quickly poked Su Mu with her elbow and said, "The target is coming from Area A3."
Su Mu pretended to turn his head casually and looked towards Area A3.
Sure enough, the fake Professor Jing'an and several teachers and students from Mount Putuo appeared there, looking for a seat.
Jiang Xiaobai was also reminded and glanced at it out of the corner of his eye.
At this moment, the fake Professor Jing'an, who was looking for a seat, suddenly looked up, glanced at Su Mu and the others, and gave a puzzling smile, perhaps because he noticed that someone was looking at him or what.
"He's watching us?"
"What does his smile mean? Have we been exposed?"
Lin Jian'e and Jiang Xiaobai suddenly became nervous and used the telepathic technique to discuss and speculate.
Su Mu was also very surprised by the fake Professor Jing'an's behavior.
However, he soon noticed that the fake Professor Jing'an turned his head away and stopped looking at this side, so he said: "Don't be nervous, two senior sisters, we should not be exposed yet. But for safety reasons, we should not look at him anymore from now on."
Lin Jian'e and Jiang Xiaobai nodded slightly, both expressing their agreement.
There are more than one group of people in this place. Even if they don't target the fake Professor Jing'an, it will not have much impact on the overall situation.
Su Mu retracted his gaze, seemingly staring at the arena, but in fact he was wondering in his heart, what exactly was the meaning of the evil smile of the fake Professor Jing'an that was as good as an emoticon just now?
Was his smile directed at me? Why was he smiling? What was his purpose?
Unfortunately, due to the lack of clues, Su Mu could hardly gain any results by relying solely on his imagination.
This episode passed quickly, and as the flying sword competition officially began, the spectators watching the competition also entered a state of excitement, cheering for the players they supported.
Although Su Mu did not look towards Area A3 again, he would glance over there from time to time.
Just when the game was in the middle of the game, he saw out of the corner of his eye that the fake Professor Jing'an stood up from his seat and walked outside.
Lin Jian'e and Jiang Xiaobai also noticed this scene.
"The target is leaving?"
"Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Su Mu saw that someone in Area A3 had already stood up and followed them, so he said, "Someone has already followed them. Let's not act rashly, lest he suspects us."
When Lin Jian'e and Jiang Xiaobai heard this, they sat back down on their seats.
At the same time, the students who followed the fake Professor Jing'an were making reports through the sound transmission instrument.
"I followed the target. He didn't notice me yet and was heading towards the toilet."
This person had some experience in tracking. After following for a while and confirming the direction in which the fake Professor Jing'an was heading, he stopped following and turned to the side.
There will be other people following us in the toilet. Even if there are no other people, the command center will make arrangements.
The fake Professor Jing'an seemed unaware of what was happening behind him and went straight into the toilet.
There were several people smoking in the toilet.
Because smoking is prohibited in the stadium, many people who have a craving for cigarettes run to the toilet to relieve themselves.
The fake professor Jing'an seemed to want to go to the toilet, so he opened the door of one of the toilets and walked in.
Seeing this scene, the two smokers looked at each other.
One person was left behind to continue keeping watch, while the other went outside the toilet and quietly reported the situation to the command center.
"Is there any suspicious person in the toilet?" Wen Wubin asked after receiving the message.
The teacher who was in charge of receiving the message immediately replied, "According to the people who were following us, there were a few people smoking in the toilet, but they were behaving normally. No suspects have been found yet."
Zhang Wenzhong ordered, "Have them keep watching to see if the target has any contact with anyone after he comes out. Also, conduct a detailed search and secret surveillance of the bathrooms and paths the target has used to walk on to see if he has deliberately left anything behind for his companions to pick up."
"Yes!" The teachers immediately assigned these tasks.
Wen Wubin looked at Zhang Wenzhong with a serious expression: "Old Zhang, I suspect the target has noticed something. We can't wait any longer. We should act as soon as possible, subdue him with lightning speed, and interrogate him for intelligence!"
Zhang Wen Zhong was still a little hesitant.
Just at this moment, an accident happened suddenly, which helped him make a decision.
Several weapon repairers sitting in front of the detection tools suddenly reported: "The monitoring detected abnormal energy fluctuations underground over at the flying sword arena. It is suspected that an earth escape spell is being released!"
"What?!"
Wen Wubin and Zhang Wenzhong were both shocked.
Is the fake Professor Jing'an planning to escape by burrowing into the ground?
Shit, he doesn’t mind burrowing in the toilet?!
Before they could give the order, the weapon repairer reported: "We detected more than one earth escape energy source, and it is escaping in more than one direction!"
The teacher who was in charge of receiving the message also reported at the same time: "The target came out of the bathroom. He did not escape by burrowing into the ground."
Didn't he escape by burrowing into the earth? Could he have used a burrowing tool or a talisman to pass on information to the outside world?
Wen Wubin quickly issued an order: "Immediately lock onto those earth-burrowing energies and send people to stop them all. Don't let any of them escape! As for the target..."
He looked at Zhang Wen Zhong.
Zhang Wen Zhong no longer hesitated and nodded vigorously.
Wen Wubin immediately said, "Tell the teachers at the flying sword competition venue and its vicinity to rush over and capture the target! Vice Principal Zhang and I will be there soon! The capture must be fast, and ordinary people at the competition venue must not be harmed. It is best not to be noticed by others!"
After completing the arrangements, Wen Wubin and Zhang Wenzhong immediately set out for the flying sword competition arena.
At the same time, Su Mu and others received new orders.
The mission is not to capture the fake Professor Jing'an, but to protect ordinary people in the flying sword arena.
According to prior estimates, the fake Professor Jing'an's strength is likely to be above level five. It is unrealistic and dangerous to let the students participate in the capture.
