Chapter 168: Love Crazy
However, this statement was just an explanation to appease public opinion. In fact, all the major forces did not take this explanation seriously.
Whose friendly exchange would cause such a big commotion? Moreover, the reason for Xuan Zi's death was no secret among the major forces. They did not believe that the people of Shrek Academy would simply "exchange" with the strong man next to Ling Shuang.
Obviously, the two must have fought for some reason.
However, the major forces still tacitly remained silent. In the absence of actual interests, no one bothered to expose the truth behind this explanation.
The competition was still ongoing.
But Shrek Academy had become a hot topic of conversation both before and after dinner.
Shrek Academy, which once defended the championship several times, did not even play in this competition. It was quite a joke.
Although Shrek Academy issued a statement explaining that it was only due to an accident and the regular players did not participate, it still caused a lot of discussion. The reserve players doing this was quite impressive.
However, this explanation did not receive a good response from the colleges that had long been dissatisfied with the many good seedlings Shrek Academy monopolized, nor from other forces unhappy with Shrek Academy.
The Star Luo Royal Academy led by Ling Shuang continued to sweep through the subsequent games.
The other colleges that had not encountered the Star Luo Royal Academy before finally felt the absolute peak suppression power of this generation.
However, in the following matches, Ling Shuang no longer took the lead to attack Shrek Academy as before but chose to stay in the backline to protect the base, which made many people feel relieved.
With the experience of Shrek Academy's Beibei and Huo Yuhao, few teams in the current competition were willing to fight Ling Shuang.
Besides Ling Shuang, Xu Jiujiu, the imperial princess, also demonstrated her edge.
The absolute control power of the Star Crown Goddess made the teams feel extremely pressured.
Xu Jiujiu once again gained a group of loyal followers with her amazing performance.
The prestige of this princess in the hearts of the people of the Star Luo Empire was probably only suppressed by Xu Jiawei, the Star Luo Emperor, in the entire royal family.
As expected, the finalists were Star Luo Royal Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy led by Xiao Shuang.
The atmosphere of the finals was intense, even more than the match against Shrek Academy that day.
"Star Luo! Star Luo!"
The loud cheers echoed throughout the venue.
Almost all were from Star Luo Royal Academy supporters, and very few cheered for Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.
After all, this was Star Luo City, the home of Star Luo Empire.
Moreover, the Sun Moon Empire did not leave a good impression on the people originally belonging to the three empires, so naturally, few supported it.
The nearly one-sided momentum made the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team look gloomy.
"Tsk, what's the use of being loud?" Xiao Hongchen curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
Meng Hongchen beside him was much better in comparison.
The white-haired girl with red pupils was not unhappy at all, and her ruby-like eyes still shone with a bit of anticipation.
In response to her brother's words, Meng Hongchen just smiled: "This is normal, brother. After all, this is their home ground. It's normal that our Sun Moon Royal Soul Academy has no supporters."
"If it were in the Sun Moon Empire, Star Luo Royal Academy would be in the same position as us."
Xiao Hongchen listened to his sister's comforting explanation but still felt uncomfortable.
That was what he said, but he really felt unhappy!
Looking at his sister, who wore a faint smile and seemed unaffected, Xiao Hongchen was puzzled: "Meng, you don't feel anything at all?"
"Of course I do," Meng Hongchen nodded matter-of-factly.
Hearing this, Xiao Hongchen thought that was normal.
He really believed his sister was better than him.
But before Xiao Hongchen could keep this thought for long, Meng Hongchen's next words made him completely unable to hold back.
"I'm so excited just thinking about fighting Ling Shuang later!"
Meng Hongchen grabbed her hands in front of her, her expression wild.
Xiao Hongchen staggered and nearly fell.
"Is this how you feel?!" he exclaimed.
"What else?" Meng Hongchen asked in confusion, very puzzled by her brother's excited reaction.
"Shouldn't you feel a lot of pressure?"
"We'll be in the finals soon, and so many voices support our opponents!" Xiao Hongchen touched his forehead, thinking this was a normal reaction.
"Why?" Meng Hongchen didn't understand what her brother meant.
She raised her chin slightly: "Anyway, we're not their match, so what's there to be nervous about?"
She spoke righteously, without thinking there was anything wrong with her words.
Meng Hongchen's current mentality was like a college student who hadn't studied a thing the day before the final exam—very carefree.
In layman's terms: she was playing badly.
Anyway, there was no chance of winning. If you understand and accept that, you naturally won't be nervous.
"Are you really that unconfident?" Xiao Hongchen was a little surprised by his sister's attitude.
Although Meng Hongchen seemed unreliable on regular days, Xiao Hongchen, as her brother, knew very well that her competitive spirit was no worse than his own.
Meng Hongchen glanced at him lightly: "I just see the strength difference clearly, but I don't want some people to be so stubborn that they can't let go of their face."
"Who's stubborn?!" Xiao Hongchen felt like a cat whose tail was stepped on; his hair almost exploded.
At this moment, he was sure his sister was still the same sister, and her angry tone hadn't changed.
Walking into the venue and seeing the white-clothed boy opposite, Meng Hongchen had no intention of continuing to talk to Xiao Hongchen.
She waved at Ling Shuang and whispered: "Ling Shuang!"
Feeling the surprised eyes all around, Xiao Hongchen silently withdrew.
This flower maniac!
He cursed in his heart.
They would be rivals soon, so what was the big deal about Meng Hongchen calling others like a crazy girl now?
"Mr. Ling, do you know this Miss Meng?"
Xu Jiujiu also noticed Meng Hongchen's actions and asked in confusion.
She naturally knew Meng Hongchen's identity, so she didn't understand when Ling Shuang had any intersection with the granddaughter of the Mingde Hall Master.
"I don't know her," Ling Shuang's face was flat as he shook his head.
Because in the original book, he knew Meng Hongchen, but the two had no connection before.
He didn't know why Meng Hongchen took the initiative to greet him.
While talking, Meng Hongchen had already come in front of them.
