Chapter 361: Knows How To Play The Game
Huanghai Military Academy versus Capital Military Academy!
The same thought appeared in everyones mind. This was no longer a competition between two students.
All along, everyone had placed Huanghai Military Academy and Capital Military Academy in the same category.
One in the north, one in the south!
North and south. The hidden meaning and representation behind the two schools were complex and couldnt be explained in a few sentences.
From the start, everyone was already anticipating the collision of the two military academies.
Their wish was finally granted.
But everyone thought that Han Zhu would be Huanghai Military Academys representative. It was changed to Wang Teng now.
Even so, their anticipation didnt dwindle. Instead, more hopes were placed on Wang Teng.
The first round of matches between the top 16 was soon confirmed. The other hot favorites didnt meet each other, though.
Wang Teng and Luo Chengs match was the highlight.
Lets welcome our top 16 participants to step forward. Your arenas will be there. Commentator Zhang Juns voice resounded in the venue.
There were nine arenas in the middle of the Dragons Den. There was a bigger one in the center, while the other eight circled around it.
The eight arenas were higher than the other arenas, so they were conspicuous.
The middle arena was the highest, showcasing its special status with its height. The final match would be held there.
The participants were split into eight groups. They would be fighting in the surrounding eight arenas.
At this moment, Wang Teng and Huanghai Military Academy gradually stood up from the Huanghai Military Academys resting area. They walked to the middle of the Dragons Den.
Wang Teng followed the arrangement and came to arena 8.
On the other side, Luo Cheng leaped and tapped his toes on the ground, lightly landing in the arena.
Wang Teng pouted. Although Luo Cheng looked like a serious man, he was still a youngster. He liked to show off every now and then.
However, he was dishonest.
I dont mind if you put on a show for others, but why are you doing it secretly?
Your acting is so obvious!
Im smart enough to see through your act!
<( ) )>
At the same time, the other top 16 contestants arrived at their arenas. They got ready for the fight ahead.
As the participants stepped on the arenas, the atmosphere turned tense.
The fight could be triggered at any moment.
Just as the judge was about to announce the start of the matches, Luo Cheng suddenly raised his hand. Wait!
Huh? The judge looked at Luo Cheng involuntarily. He asked. What do you want to say?
The big screen also gave him the honor of showing his full face.
After all, this was the leading figure of Capital Military Academy. In the National Number One Martial Arts Competition, he was the face of Capital Military Academy.
Even though Ji Xiuming and Ren Qingcang were hot favorites, he was also a powerful contender for the no.1 title.
Furthermore, in this competition so far, no one was able to force Luo Cheng to release his full potential. He might be hiding some surprises up his sleeves.
Right before the competition was about to start, Luo Cheng from arena 8 suddenly raised his hand. What does he want to do? Zhang Juns baffled voice echoed in the venue.
Everyone started talking in low voices.
Is he going to admit defeat?
Thats impossible. Youre overthinking.
What do you think he wants to do?
I... how should I know? Just wait and see.
In the arena, Luo Cheng looked at Wang Teng and opened his mouth. Id like to ask for the... big arena!
The big arena!
Everyone turned silent.
The commentator repeated Luo Chengs words like a loudspeaker, Luo Cheng wants the big arena!
F**k, whats the big arena?
Thats right. Can you explain it?
Most of the ordinary people didnt understand what the big arena was. They were confused and kept whispering to each other.
The two words werent hard to understand, but in this situation, they didnt know what they represented.
Cough. The commentator coughed awkwardly before hurriedly explaining, When the participant feels that their arena cant allow them to display their full capability, they can ask for a large-sized arena. Normally, only extremely confident contestants will make this choice. They have to be 5-star soldier level and above too. We all know that 5-star soldier-level martial warriors can escape the bind of the earth and fly into the sky. It looks like Luo Cheng is taking his match with Wang Teng very seriously.
Everyone was enlightened.
I see. So the match will be exciting.
Both of them have reached the 5-star soldier level? That means that they might fight in the air.
Zhao Yuanwu is a 5-star soldier-level martial warrior too. Why didnt he choose the big arena?
Hmph, he looked down on Wang Teng.
Zhao Yuanwus face turned black when he got mentioned for no reason.
He was already furious after losing to Wang Teng. Yet, these people were exposing his scars continuously. Who could bear with this?
Ji Xiuming and Ren Qingcang couldnt help but stare at Luo Cheng. They were surprised.
This was a quiet fellow, but he knew how to play the game.
The application for the big arena wont be approved so easily. The leaders who are supervising this match are discussing this matter. Lets wait for their decision, the commentator said.
On the platforms, the important figures were exchanging silent whispers. A few minutes later, they arrived at a conclusion.
Alright, the result is out, the commentator said.
Luo Chengs application is... approved!
Now, lets invite the two participants off the arena for a break. Well proceed with your match after the other 14 participants finish theirs.
Wang Teng shook his head.
So troublesome!
However, he still walked down the arena, not thinking too much about it.
The big arena was just another venue for his match. It didnt matter to him.
The other matches continued normally. Wang Teng found a random seat after he went down and started watching the matches happily.
Ji Xiuming and Ren Qingcangs matches were exceptionally exciting. As expected of the hot favorites of this competition, they were powerful.
Everyone was in the top 16, but their abilities trampled other contestants.
They didnt take long to end their matches. They didnt even need to display their full strength.
Wang Teng was a little disappointed. He picked up the attribute bubbles they dropped.
Metal Force*50
Earth Force*68
Lightning Force*46
Fire Force*60
The metal Force came from Ji Xiuming, while the lightning Force belonged to Ren Qingcang. Their elements were obvious.
Wang Teng ignored them and watched the other matches.
Han Zhus opponent was Chao Qihe from Jinlin University, their leading figure in fact. It was a fierce fight. The two contestants were pretty even.
Mind you, the students from Jinlin University werent weak. The first few got tormented by Wang Teng until they questioned their lives, but fortunately, Wang Teng didnt fight with any more Jinlin University students after that.
They managed to keep some of their dignity.
The president of Jinlin Universitys martial arts academy sighed in relief. Without a doubt, he knew that Chao Qihe would get smashed by the brick too if he had met Wang Teng.
Thank God!
