Chapter 133 Opening Ceremony The 11th Four Schools League begins. ...
"My spiritual weapon is called Qiansi, and it can control the souls of the dead."
Feng Yuansi opened the freeze-dried box that Lin Zhuyue handed over, took out a piece of juicy salmon freeze-dried fish, and handed the whole piece to Meiqiu who was sitting on the table.
"So, I'm quite sensitive to ghosts, and I noticed something was amiss with your current homeroom teacher the moment I arrived in Tiancheng. Speaking of which, you guys are aware of this, right? Is there some kind of deal behind this that I'm not aware of?"
Meiqiu took the freeze-dried food, but wasn't quite sure how to eat it. He put it down and scratched at it with his black paws, his round eyes filled with confusion.
Shican picked up the freeze-dried food, broke it into small pieces and handed it to Meiqiu.
Meiqiu took the freeze-dried food in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it. Shican broke off another small piece for him and fed it to him bit by bit.
"Some kittens won't eat the whole freeze-dried stuff."
Shi Can scratched Meiqiu's chin and said,
"If you give it the whole thing, it won't know how to eat it."
"Don't change the subject..."
Feng Yuansi held his face with one hand and asked,
"Let's not talk about cats, let's talk about your new homeroom teacher."
Shi Can: “…” This guy is so annoying.
After finishing her freeze-dried food, Meiqiu jumped onto Lin Zhuyue. British Shorthairs are a famous dandelion breed, so while kittens are fine, adult cats leave their fur wherever they go. Lin Zhuyue was wearing white pants, and Meiqiu had no problem leaving a trail of black fur on her legs.
"Since you guys won't tell me, I'll check it myself."
Feng Yuansi drank the coffee in one gulp and stood up.
"I will bring him to justice tonight..."
Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can held him on the left and right. Shi Can used great strength to pull Feng Yuansi back to sit.
Shi Can warned: "Don't do stupid things, that's filthy."
Feng Yuansi's face was filled with surprise: "Minghui? Ghost King Minghui?"
Lin Zhuyue found it incredible:
"Why do you look like you've just met your idol?"
"Did he meet his idol? He's a trainer who saw a rare legendary Pokémon! Give him a Master Ball and he'll rush over and capture the Pokémon in no time!"
After much persuasion, Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can sent Feng Yuansi and the black cat out the door, then sat back at the dining table, both holding their foreheads and sighing.
Lin Zhuyue looked at the bags and boxes on the table, and her head hurt even more: "...Ah, I didn't take the freeze-dried ones."
"I'll send it to him later."
Shi Can took his coffee cup and said,
"It's a good opportunity to see if he's courting death... But have you ever thought about this—Feng Yuansi, this spiritual warrior, is really suitable for dealing with Ming Hui."
In three days, the opening ceremony of the four-school league will be held.
Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can were wearing the high school uniforms of the main campus, complete with the red and black plaid bow ties of fourth graders. They groped their way to the third row under the light, then spotted Wen Miyan waving at them. They walked over and sat down beside her.
Ye Yangjia turned around, raised his eyebrows, and said:
"Yo, man, you look like a real human."
Shi Can crossed his arms and said dissatisfiedly:
"How come you, someone who was eliminated in the preliminaries, are in such a high position?"
"Because part of the cost of the Four Schools League is sponsored by my family. Do you understand the value of sponsorship?"
Ye Yangjia twisted his fingers and said,
"From the opening ceremony to the finals, I'll be sitting in the VIP seats, which means I can watch you get beaten up from a great distance. Oh, and I'll film it, edit the video of you getting humiliated, and upload it to the forum."
"Are you serious? You really think I'm going to get beaten?"
Shi Can stood up and held Ye Yangjia's shoulders with both hands.
"How about this, let's make a bet. We don't have to bet too much, just two months' pocket money."
Ye Yangjia: "...No bet."
Although he shouted that Shi Chan should be beaten, he didn't believe in his heart that Shi Chan would be defeated in the arena.
Shi Chan felt bored and sat back in his seat.
Gong Yongyuan walked over and sat down on Shican's right.
Shi Chan asked, "You sponsored it too?"
Gong Yongyuan asked doubtfully, "What do you mean by praise?"
Shi Chan asked again: "Then why are you sitting here?"
"Look here."
Gong Yongyuan pointed to the band-aid on his face and explained its origin.
"My cousin was mad and beat me up, and then he felt guilty after that. I took advantage of the situation and asked him to switch seats with me, and he agreed."
Ye Yangjia turned around and asked:
"Master, what's going on with your family?"
The news of Gong Yongyuan being chased by Yao Hanshuang and jumping out of a second-floor window had spread throughout Tiancheng, and everyone wanted to get in on the story. However, the family was tight-lipped, and the details of the incident and the reasons behind it remained unknown to outsiders.
Gong Yongyuan asked mysteriously, "Want to know?"
Ye Yangjia replied, "Yes, I do. I think about it with all my heart and soul."
Lin Zhuyue pricked up his ears quietly.
Gong Yongyuan smiled and said, "I won't tell you."
Students from the main campus and branch campuses gradually arrived.
"Look at their school uniforms."
Shi Can raised his hand and tugged at his red and black plaid bow tie, then pointed at his khaki pants and said,
"Our school uniforms, especially the boys' uniforms, are like work clothes. As soon as you put them on, you can tell you're a science and engineering guy."
Lin Zhuyue spoke up for the school uniforms:
"I think it's pretty handsome."
Shi Chan asked, “Really?”
"real."
Shi Chan stopped criticizing the headquarters uniform with satisfaction.
Wen Miyan turned her head and looked at Lin Zhuyue who was trying hard to suppress her laughter, thinking:
Just coax him.
Fu Xingwei stepped onto the podium in the auditorium. He tested the microphone and confirmed that the sound was normal. Then he stepped aside and whispered to the old man in formal attire:
"Principal Liang, that's enough."
Liang Tianxing walked forward.
He left his post due to illness in the first half of the year. He was in a very bad state at the time. I don't know if it's because he no longer cares about the Spiritual Master's Mansion after retirement. He seems to be getting younger and younger. I heard that he was paragliding in Sichuan last month.
"Hello, classmates and colleagues. I am Liang Tianxing, the former head of the Spiritual Master House and the former principal of the Spiritual Master College. The current head, Minister Kang Huazong, is currently on a mission and cannot be away, so he asked me if I could preside over the opening ceremony of the Four Schools League."
Liang Tianxing said to the audience,
"Of course I can. I might not be good at other things, but I'm a professional when it comes to hosting the opening ceremony of the Four Schools League. I've already held six opening ceremonies, and this is the seventh. There's no one in the entire Spiritual Master Mansion who's more professional than me."
"The Four Schools League has been held since its inception thirty-five years ago. Initially held annually, it has been expanded to every four years. From small, informal, makeshift venues, to now, everything is well-organized. This is an improvement not only for the Four Schools League itself, but also for the Spiritual Master House and its Spiritual Masters."
"Some people say the Four Schools League is meaningless, but I think that's wrong. The Four Schools League can test the educational level of the Spiritual Master Academy. Over the past thirty-five years, almost every player who has performed well in the Four Schools League has become a key member of the Spiritual Master Academy. My Xiao Fu, Director Fu Xingwei, is one of them. If it weren't for the Four Schools League, the Spiritual Master Academy might not have seen his brilliance shine so early on."
"To all the young contestants fortunate enough to advance to the semi-finals, some of you come from prominent families, some from declining ones, and some are 'lucky' ordinary people. In the eyes of many, you are all different. But in the Four Schools League, you will no longer be distinguished. Competition is fair, effort is fair, and every outstanding soul can radiate their own brilliance on the field, witnessed by others and by the times."
"Whether you win or lose, the outstanding and talented will not be humiliated, so please express yourselves fully and unreservedly on the field."
"I declare the 11th Four Schools League open—"
There was warm applause from the audience.
"Lao Liang is still amazing."
Gong Yongyuan clapped his hands and said,
"He's got a knack for inspiring people... At the senior high school entrance ceremony, Meng Dake was listening to his speech while crying, soaking our handkerchiefs."
"Don't even mention it. I was trying to coax him, secretly giving him chocolate... Shican was a pig. He actually gave the chocolate to Old Master, and then we guys got scolded for bringing snacks and giving them away."
Ye Yangjia turned around and gritted his teeth and said,
"What do you think?"
Shi Can crossed his legs and said:
"You're stupid! Of course it's because it's faster to let Old Fu deliver it. It's so hot, the chocolate will melt."
Wen Miyan almost fainted from laughing.
Lin Zhuyue looked around, opened his schoolbag, took out a large bag of chocolates, and said:
"Don't tell the teacher."
Gong Yongyuan took the chocolate and said:
"No, no, I'm not that kind of person."
After the opening ceremony, everyone moved from the auditorium to the stadium.
There are a total of 32 contestants in the first round of the semi-finals. They will face each other in pairs to determine the 16 winners who will enter the next round.
There are two games today, held in two venues.
One is between Shi Can from the main branch and Yan Maozhe from the Hong Kong branch, and the other is between Feng Yuansi from the Hong Kong branch and Zhen Yuming from the Kunlun branch.
Lin Zhuyue looked around: "There are so many people."
Judging from the school uniforms, not only people from the main campus but also from the branch campus have gathered here.
“They’re all here for Shi Chan.”
Wen Miyan sat down next to Lin Zhuyue and said,
"Before you came, Shican was the biggest monster in the main campus. Even the students in the branch campus had heard of this big devil."
"When our class was promoted to the senior division, some people said that the 11th Four-School League would be the most boring one because there would be no suspense."
Shi Chan has already entered the arena and is stretching his arms and legs.
Yan Maozhe soon came on stage and asked:
"I heard that you and that idiot Feng Yuansi are relatives?"
"Has he offended you too?"
Shi Can turned the bamboo sword in his hand and said,
"But don't be as foolish as he is just because I'm related to him. I'm a smart person. If you underestimate me because of this, you will lose miserably."
Yan Maozhe carried a small bag full of perfume bottles on his back and said:
"I never underestimate any opponent, let alone you."
