Nan Fu University, who had lost twice in a row, had no fighting spirit and lost the third match.
After beating Nan Fu University 3-0, Pegasus University defeated the other two opponents in the same division with the same score and advanced to the semifinals of the King of Glory League!
Gao Zhengyang killed more than three hundred players in twenty-seven matches, but he didn't die once. This stunning performance made him one of the hottest celebrity players in the league.
He was an orphan at the bottom and got into the second-rate Pegasus University through hard work. Half a semester later, he had a sudden epiphany and rose from 1-star bronze to 1-star silver.
That was how Gao Zhengyang started his path to becoming a legend. Relying on his own strength, he led the team all the way to the playoffs. In the top thirty-two division matches, he defeated strong opponents again and again. Even a top team like Nan Fu University had been defeated by his sword.
A grassroots counterattack, a peerless genius, a lone hero who turned the tide, and a peerless beauty that matched his talent. Gao Zhengyang was a combination of many explosive elements.
The great influence of the league and the crazy promotion of the organizing committee made Gao Zhengyang's fame expand.
Beichen, the third master, became famous in the Alliance and became a famous superstar in the Alliance. This speed of his rise made many superstars pale in comparison.
The Alliance was too big and only a few superstars had the influence of the entire Alliance. It was too rare to see someone as young as Gao Zhengyang becoming famous in the Alliance just by playing in the league.
The organizing committee had always wanted to create superstars in the league, such as Chu Que, Jiang Taibai, and Zhan Bu.
Chu Que's features were beautiful and he was very capable. He could have been a genius girl. But Chu Que was too low-key and introverted. His battles were too simple and plain. He lacked explosive points.
Jiang Taibai, Zhan Bu, and the others were very unique, but they were all from rich families and lacked gimmicks. Most importantly, they weren't that outstanding, that brilliant, that unstoppable.
It wasn't until Gao Zhengyang appeared out of nowhere and gathered all kinds of explosive points that the organizing committee found a starting point. In just 20 days, he had forcefully created a superstar that was known to the entire nation.
At this point, the organizing committee hoped that Gao Zhengyang could win the championship. Only by winning the championship could he be conferred the title of King and become the undisputed number one in the Premier League.
At that time, the influence of the Premier League would spread everywhere with Gao Zhengyang. It was impossible to overestimate the influence of a superstar in a competitive match.
There was too much entertainment on the Star Web, and most of the people were not Star Masters. The players of Star Armor King were mainly Star Masters. If he wanted to gain greater recognition, he would need to further promote it.
A superstar could arouse the interest of people who didn't understand games and gain more recognition for games.
Unfortunately, at the semi-finals stage, it was very difficult for the league's organizing committee to directly intervene in the competition. Other than Pegasus University, the other top three universities were all top universities in the Alliance.
The power of these universities far exceeded that of the league itself. The organizing committee did not dare to play tricks. They could only lean towards Pegasus University in terms of rules and policies.
For example, he had sought Bai Zhihu's opinion on the semifinals. Moreover, the league took the initiative to pay for the expansion of Pegasus University's home ground.
As the main venue for the semifinals, Pegasus University's home ground was too small and lacking in style. The league's organizing committee had obtained the authorization to use Gao Zhengyang's personal portrait. They had given Gao Zhengyang 30 million yuan for this authorization.
The organizing committee was not short of money, but they could not directly give Gao Zhengyang money. They could only use this method to cooperate with Gao Zhengyang and raise Gao Zhengyang's value at the same time.
The effect of the hype was immediate. The first match between Pegasus University and Purple Light University had more than three hundred billion online viewers. More than half of them came for Gao Zhengyang.
The super high viewership made the organizing committee a lot of money. The major platforms also made a lot of money, and the advertisers were very happy. Even the audience was full of excitement, looking forward to a big show.
In terms of the result, everyone was happy.
The ones who were really unhappy were the Purple Light University team. Everyone held their breath and wanted to step on the Pegasus University team. Especially Gao Zhengyang, who had suddenly become the league's son. It was totally a dream to step on them.
This match was Purple Light University's home ground. In the resting room, the school team's head coach was emphasizing tactics to everyone.
In fact, the tactics had been explained many times before. The coach was mainly cheering for everyone.
To be the coach of Purple Light University's school team, Coach Feng was very experienced. He was so experienced that one could tell he was a capable person just by looking at his bald head.
Coach Feng looked at the group of contestants and said, "You represent Purple Light University. Thousands of teachers and students are watching you. This is not only a competition, but also a fight for honor. Can you allow a guy from a second-rate university to step on you? "
The group of contestants shouted at the same time, "No!"
"Can you tolerate being defeated by a sissy man?"
"No!"
"Purple Light University's 3,000 years of glory needs you to defend it. Do you have the determination to win?"
"Yes!"
"Why are you all lying down like a bunch of girls? Do you?"
Although Coach Feng was bald and his face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were wide open and powerful, and his stern questioning was especially oppressive.
All the contestants stood up and shouted at the top of their voices, "Yes!"
Every contestant's face was flushed with excitement. Only Jiang Taibai seemed especially calm. His voice was loud, but his expression was calm.
Coach Feng actually preferred Jiang Taibai's state. It was more important to be calm in this kind of competition, not hot-blooded. Hot-blooded would only make people impulsive, making it easy for them to make wrong judgments. That would ruin the competition.
However, the committee frantically promoted Gao Zhengyang, giving him unlimited publicity. Now, Gao Zhengyang was at the peak of his power. He was already the strongest in the league.
Most importantly, Gao Zhengyang won every battle. He was unstoppable. A strong team like South Track University was actually not much different from Purple Light University. Even such a strong team couldn't stop Gao Zhengyang alone. Everyone in Purple Light University felt great pressure.
Coach Feng had no choice but to motivate the team before the competition.
Jiang Taibai said, "Don't think too highly of him. No matter how strong he is, he's only a 1-star Silver. He won't last long. Don't think about killing him in one hit. Try to stabilize the rhythm and stall him. Then we'll win … "
All the teammates nodded. Jiang Taibai still had absolute authority in the school team. In some aspects, Jiang Taibai was even more authoritative than Coach Feng.
Jiang Taibai then said to Coach Feng, "I've watched so many of Bei Chen's competitions, but I've never seen him. I want to meet him. "
Coach Feng didn't know what Jiang Taibai was thinking. He thought for a while and reminded, "As far as I know, Bei Chen might look good, but he has a vicious mouth. You can meet him if you want, but don't bicker with him. "
Coach Feng said seriously, "If you're a man, show your true abilities. Cursing and bickering is something for old women to do. "
With Coach Feng's connections, it was easy for him to gather a lot of information about Gao Zhengyang. Including when he was studying in Orion Military Academy, and the two medals of bravery and Red Star.
But it was too much of a blow to him. The military had been suppressing the news. If it wasn't for that, the league committee would have bragged about it.
Although Coach Feng knew about it, he didn't dare to tell the players. It would be too much of a blow to their morale if he did. He was afraid that Jiang Taibai wouldn't know his limits and would run over to provoke him.
Neither Bei Chen nor Bai Zhihu would be spiteful. But Bei Chen had been pretending to be an idol and hadn't said anything overboard until now.
"Don't worry, Coach. I won't be that bored."
Jiang Taibai was really curious about Gao Zhengyang. Besides, Gao Zhengyang had entrusted him to find an opportunity to talk to Gao Zhengyang personally and see what he was capable of.
Coach Feng nodded. He was confident in Jiang Taibai. As for the other team members, they couldn't go. He didn't know what would happen if these young people went.
He said, "I'll go with you. I haven't seen Bei Chen either."
The Pegasus team stayed in the guest team's lounge. Although it was also on the virtual Star Web, everything had to go according to the procedure in reality.
Jiang Taibai knocked on the door. When he heard someone answer, he pushed the door open and entered.
A school like Purple Light University had top-notch facilities. Even the guest team's lounge was luxurious. It was equipped with a conference table, a lounge, a locker room, a bathroom, and so on.
Jiang Taibai pushed the door open and saw six people sitting on the sofa in the lounge, chatting.
To be honest, although he knew that the Pegasus team didn't have any substitutes, he was still not used to seeing only six people.
A normal school team had a coaching team consisting of a coach, assistant coaches, data analysts, psychologists, and so on. There were also a logistics team consisting of a team leader and assistants. There were 12 official members, including several substitutes.
A top-notch school team had about 30 people.
The team of six only occupied a small corner of the spacious lounge. No matter how one looked at it, they looked weak and pitiful.
Bai Zhihu was surprised to see Jiang Taibai and Coach Feng enter. He stood up and greeted Coach Feng. "Old Feng, you're here to see me?"
Coach Feng used to be in the army, but his rank wasn't as high as Bai Zhihu's. Although a school coach could earn a lot, it was difficult to hire a high-ranking military official. Moreover, a high-ranking military official might not be suitable.
Commanding a war and directing a league competition were two different things.
Although Coach Feng's rank was much lower than Bai Zhihu's, he didn't have a subordinate relationship with him. He said with a straight face, "I'm just here to see. Can't I?"
"Hahaha, welcome, welcome."
Bai Zhihu introduced to Gao Zhengyang and the others. "Feng Xiaokai, a senior coach of Purple Light University. He often leads teams to second place, and I think he's also won first place …"
Gao Zhengyang and the others all stood up and nodded slightly. It was a competition, after all, so they didn't have to be too enthusiastic.
Coach Feng also nodded. He looked around and finally fixed his eyes on Gao Zhengyang's face.
Because of the crazy promotion by the organizing committee, Gao Zhengyang's face had been on all the major platforms. Although it was Coach Feng's first time seeing him in person, he was very familiar with Gao Zhengyang's face.
Coach Feng didn't like the exaggerated promotion by the organizing committee. He also felt that Gao Zhengyang's face was a bit too effeminate. But when he saw Gao Zhengyang in person, he couldn't help but change his opinion.
Gao Zhengyang's face was handsome beyond compare, but his posture was tall and straight. He stood there steadily, exuding a calm aura. The key was that his eyes were pure and deep, and there was an immeasurable depth and awe-inspiring look between his brows.
Coach Feng and Gao Zhengyang looked at each other. They didn't know why, but they quickly looked away and didn't dare to look at him.
Jiang Taibai was similar to Coach Feng. He originally thought that his spiritual power was far better than Gao Zhengyang's, so he wanted to leave a deep impression on Gao Zhengyang through eye contact.
But when their eyes met, Jiang Taibai felt uneasy, as if he had lost his footing and fallen into the abyss. The more than 1,800 spiritual power that he was so proud of seemed to be unable to exert any power at this moment.
Jiang Taibai didn't know what was going on. He just instinctively avoided Gao Zhengyang's eyes, but he felt that something was wrong, so he forced himself to look back.
Unfortunately, Gao Zhengyang avoided eye contact. He said with a smile, "You always stare at me like this. Are you in love with me?"
Before Jiang Taibai could speak, he added, "I only love girls. No matter what you think, it's impossible. "
Jiang Taibai was stunned. He had wanted to say something, but Gao Zhengyang's teasing had messed up his words. He forced a smile and said, "I'm straight. I just want to take a few more glances at the beauty. I don't mean anything else."
"Hehehe …"
Wu Shuang covered her mouth and giggled. "Bei Shi just likes to tease others. It's so funny that you responded with a straight face."
Cheng Qingyun and Tong Ying were also very cooperative. They held Gao Zhengyang's arms on both sides. "He's ours. Don't be delusional."
The two beauties of different styles laughed with Gao Zhengyang. The three's bright smiles made Jiang Taibai a little dizzy.
Seeing that Jiang Taibai was at a loss, Gao Zhengyang and the others laughed even more happily.
Jiang Taibai was a little embarrassed. He coughed and said, "Third Master, I came here to get to know you."
He paused and said, "My friend Chu Que also wants to talk to you."
"The first beauty of the league, Chu Que?"
Before Gao Zhengyang could finish his words, Tong Ying and Cheng Qingyun fiercely pinched him. He said innocently, "That's how the league is advertised. You can't blame me."
Jiang Taibai hurriedly said, "It's Chu Que. She has heard of you for a long time and wants to talk to you."
Gao Zhengyang was a little surprised and said, "Why? We'll see each other in the finals."
He thought for a moment and asked, "Is Chu Que not sure to enter the finals? That's a pity. I also want to see the first beauty of the league. I'm the first beauty. We can compete to see who's more beautiful. Isn't that fun? "
Jiang Taibai choked and couldn't say anything. He had actually looked up all kinds of detailed information about Gao Zhengyang and knew that this person was very mean with his words.
But it was one thing to see it in the information and another to experience it in person.
Jiang Taibai thought he was also a chatterbox. But when he was with Gao Zhengyang, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all. He was suppressed from the moment they met.
Admittedly, it was Gao Zhengyang's words that were out of tune, but it was also him who held back too tightly. After being teased, he couldn't respond quickly and naturally fell into a disadvantage.
Jiang Taibai felt that if Chu Que talked to Gao Zhengyang directly, he would probably be so angry that he couldn't speak. Although Chu Que was very cold to people and rarely got angry. But she was definitely not not angry.
Jiang Taibai thought for a moment and gave up the idea of letting Chu Que show up. Moreover, Chu Que was also preparing for the competition. If he lost his form because of anger, it would not be worth it.
"Third Master wants to go to the finals to meet Chu Que, but he has to ask for my permission."
Jiang Taibai said seriously.
Gao Zhengyang suddenly asked, "Then do you agree?"
"I agree, but the sword in my hand doesn't agree! My teammates don't agree! The tens of thousands of teachers and students in Purple University don't agree! The tens of billions of supporters in Tianjing don't agree! "
Jiang Taibai was, after all, a super genius of Purple Light University. He quickly found his rhythm and his words were sonorous and powerful.
"Well said. Very imposing. You're quite suitable for giving speeches."
Gao Zhengyang had a whole new level of respect for Jiang Taibai's performance. Indeed, this kind of genius really couldn't be underestimated.
He gave a few words of praise and said, "But it's not important whether you guys agree or not."
Gao Zhengyang looked at Jiang Taibai calmly and said, "Who can block my twin swords? Who can stop my steps forward? Can you? "
Jiang Taibai wanted to say loudly that he could, but when he met Gao Zhengyang's deep and serene eyes, he felt as if he had fallen into an abyss. His hot blood and surging fighting spirit all turned into endless coldness. His sparkling eyes immediately dimmed.
Jiang Taibai couldn't help but take two steps back. His expression kept changing, but in the end, he still turned around and left.
Coach Feng had been watching the confrontation between the two. When he saw Jiang Taibai retreat, he looked at Gao Zhengyang and wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, he didn't say anything and left with Jiang Taibai with a sigh.
After coming out of the guest team's lounge, Jiang Taibai didn't return to his room. Instead, he stood outside the home team's lounge with a gloomy face.
Coach Feng followed him. After thinking for a while, he patted Jiang Taibai's shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. He's killed about three or four hundred Star Masters. His killing intent is usually hidden, but it was stimulated by your mental power. "
"Is he so powerful because he's killed people?" Jiang Taibai didn't believe it. He had seen many military experts. Although each of them was powerful, none of them had the sharp and awe-inspiring aura of Gao Zhengyang.
Coach Feng shook his head and said, "It's different. Bei Chen was born with a strong will and perseverance. When he fights, his heart is like an iceberg. That's why he could kill so many Star Masters by himself. You've never encountered such a strong killing intent. Naturally, you'll be at a disadvantage in a mental confrontation. "
"I've also killed people. I'm not afraid of blood or death!"
Jiang Taibai was very unconvinced. He had also gone out to explore and gain experience. He had also killed various Star Beasts, including some Star Masters.
"It's your will that's not strong enough. That's why you're easily moved by external forces."
Coach Feng said, "You're still not confused, timid, and fearful. Bei Chen has obviously been tempered into steel. He doesn't have these troubles at all. The difference between the two of you lies in your will and your soul, not your mental power … "
As a veteran soldier, Coach Feng had a sharp eye. He could see Jiang Taibai's weakness at a glance. In fact, he was too young and inexperienced. He lacked tempering.
As for saying that he was not afraid of blood or death, that was just his own opinion. Jiang Taibai still didn't understand blood or death. After all, he was still a young man.
Compared to a freak like Bei Chen, who could kill one or two hundred Star Masters casually, Jiang Taibai was a very normal young man.
Coach Feng sighed in his heart. Although the match had not started, their main player, Jiang Taibai, had lost his spirit. How could they win this match?
Sure enough, Jiang Taibai was not in the right state for the whole match. It was as if he was sleepwalking. They easily lost the first match with a score of three to zero.
In the next two matches, although Purple Light University tried their best to resist, they were still defeated.
Pegasus University advanced triumphantly and entered the finals!
