Chapter 144: Even Dare Not to Look Directly
The next day.
Since today's schedule wasn't packed, the timing was less rushed than the previous two days.
However, today's schedule was very important.
Because it was the semifinals.
Once the semifinals ended, it would be the finals.
This meant that the much-anticipated Interracial Freshmen Exchange Competition was about to conclude.
Dragon Nation's audience had already been waiting on the live streaming platforms online.
If there were no teams from Dragon Nation in the top four, they wouldn't bother watching.
But now, among the four teams, there was Xuanyuan Academy, the sole remaining team from Dragon Nation.
This team carried the deep hopes of countless spectators.
Whether Dragon Nation would be embarrassed again this year depended on this team's performance.
At nine o'clock in the morning.
Having completed the daily fixed training in the training room, Wang Chen, together with his teammates, set off for the grand stadium.
Compared to the other worried spectators, Meng Yongsheng and the others appeared relaxed.
Yesterday, they had asked their captain about the chances of Xuanyuan Academy's team winning the championship.
Wang Chen had answered without hesitation: 100%.
This completely reassured Meng Yongsheng and the others.
After spending time together, Meng Yongsheng and the others had come to understand Wang Chen well.
They knew that their captain wouldn't make such a confident statement unless he was absolutely sure.
Xiao Qing and Xiao Zi were still hanging harmlessly on Wang Chen's shoulders, one on each side.
To others, it didn't look like he was carrying two battle pet beasts but rather two harmless pets.
Meng Yongsheng and the others had heard that the teams from various countries had prepared measures to deal with Wang Chen's Slime pet.
But they would never have imagined...
The strongest pet in their captain's hands wasn't the soft Slime but the Xiao Qing that hadn't made a move yet.
Previously, when the Xiao Qing's level wasn't as high, it had already made Meng Yongsheng and the others suffer.
Now, with its level increased, its combat power would be even more terrifying!
They couldn't see how they could lose!
Moreover, those interracial teams trying to target Wang Chen's pets...
That was simply overestimating themselves.
At the moment.
When Wang Chen led his teammates into the stadium.
Shua!
The surrounding spectators, who had been eagerly anticipating the match, couldn't help but turn their gaze to Wang Chen.
Even the interracial spectators, who usually looked down on humans, were now looking at Wang Chen with solemn expressions.
Hmm...
It seemed that after the battles of the past two days, the audience had gained a very clear and direct understanding of Wang Chen's strength.
First, Wang Chen's Slime pet was very strong and was confirmed to be a mutant.
Otherwise, how could an ordinary Slime be so powerful?
It could swallow all its opponents in one bite.
Second, Wang Chen's personal combat strength was also not to be underestimated.
The individual who excelled in duels, Wei Kaiyuan, was defeated by Wang Chen in a one-on-one fight.
Although Wei Kaiyuan's defeat was partly due to underestimating Wang Chen's close combat skills, there's a saying:
"See a leaf and know autumn."
"Peek through a hole and see the whole picture."
Wei Kaiyuan underestimated Wang Chen, but Wang Chen hadn't even used any trump cards.
Throughout the process, Wang Chen only used a common skill called Block.
And with that one small skill, he completely defeated Wei Kaiyuan, which already said a lot.
Even if Wei Kaiyuan were to try again, he might only last a bit longer.
After all, the profession of Invisible Master wasn't just about assassination but also excelled in escaping.
It's said that because of the battles over the past two days, Wang Chen had gained many fans online.
Some of these top fans were even heiresses from wealthy families.
Some well-known super-rich families even announced that if Wang Chen could win this competition, they would agree to let him marry into their family.
Such statements caused quite a stir among the super-rich families.
The reason was simple.
If Wang Chen could win the Interracial Freshmen Exchange Competition, who would still be interested in marrying into a wealthy family?
These wealthy families really didn't know their own worth.
However, with Wang Chen's arrival, the atmosphere also became tense.
Many contestants from other schools cast their eyes on Wang Chen.
But amusingly...
When Wang Chen noticed these gazes and looked back coldly, these contestants quickly turned their heads, not daring to look at Wang Chen again.
Before the competition started, whether it was some contestants from Dragon Nation's academies or those from the interracial empires, most of them didn't think highly of Wang Chen.
They had belittled and scorned Wang Chen, claiming that Xuanyuan Academy's captain, a mere level 70 Beast Master, couldn't even make it past the first round.
But now.
They didn't even have the courage to look Wang Chen in the eye.
After all, most of these contestants had already been eliminated.
Teams that didn't even make it to the top four naturally didn't dare to criticize Wang Chen, who had advanced to the top four.
In this world of career transitions, one's status was defined by strength.
"Damn it..."
But after realizing their cowardice in not daring to look Wang Chen in the eye, these contestants couldn't help but curse themselves internally.
They felt ashamed that they didn't even dare to look directly.
Wang Chen calmly withdrew his gaze.
Shen Miao, beside him, giggled and said, "Did you see that? Those arrogant interracial contestants from the past two days don't even dare to look at our captain now, each one of them looking as if they're afraid of being devoured."
Meng Yongsheng, hearing this, laughed helplessly, "Don't mention them. Even I am scared. Fortunately, we weren't that arrogant and overbearing. If we had been as stupid as those orcs and accepted a death match, we would probably be lying dead already."
This comment made the other team members nod in agreement.
Back when they first started school, they had significant opinions about Wang Chen, who ranked first.
But later, they were slapped in the face.
Having experienced it once, the impression was extremely profound.
At this moment.
As everyone chatted casually.
The match finally began.
Neither the referees nor the commentators wasted any time.
As soon as it was time, the drawing ceremony began immediately.
The four teams stood on stage.
And the four captains came forward to draw lots in front of everyone.
Drawing lots in front of the audience was to prevent any online trolls from having any complaints.
