On the screen, as the commentators, Zhang Jun and Su Xiao, announced the contestants' entrance, passionate music started playing.
A line of teams walked out from the contestants' entrance.
Zhang Jun flipped through the information in his hands and said, "The first team to appear is the previous champion — The First University!
"The First University can be said to have the most outstanding young martial artists in the country. There are always one or two outstanding geniuses among them. This time, they are still a strong contender for the championship.
"The leader of The First University this time is Ji Xiuming, who has always been famous!
"Ji Xiuming is the top scholar of the 2005 Capital Xia's martial arts exam. He was specially recruited by The First Academy as a 1-star soldier-level martial warrior. In the past four years, The First Academy has been nurturing him with all their might. Ji Xiuming didn't disappoint. He displayed unparalleled talent and has been the top student in The First Academy for the past four years. He is the leader of The First Academy.
Su Xiao took over the conversation and said, "Ji Xiuming is really a genius. He will definitely perform well in the National Number One Martial Arts Competition."
"Look, everyone. The first one to enter the arena is Ji Xiuming. He seems to be quite a handsome young man."
Hearing the commentator's voice, the audience saw a line of young people walking into the Dragon's Den through the contestants' entrance.
The person in the lead had a tall figure. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He carried a long sword on his back and had an outstanding aura.
"He's so handsome!"
Many girls couldn't help but exclaim when they saw him. Their eyes sparkled, and they instantly became his fans.
"Ji Xiuming!"
Some of the girls who already knew him waved their hands and screamed his name on the spot.
He looked as if he had just seen his idol or a celebrity.
"It looks like our Ji Xiuming is indeed very popular. The competition hasn't started yet, and so many girls are cheering for him. This isn't something an ordinary person can get," Su Xiao said with a smile.
"Even I'm a little jealous." Zhang Jun chuckled as he joined in the conversation.
"He's a little fresh meat. You can't compare to him," Su Xiao teased.
"I can't compare to him. Even if I'm ten years younger, I can't compare to him." Zhang Jun waved his hands.
The two of them talked back and forth, livening up the atmosphere. It was very relaxed and humorous, and the audience couldn't help but smile.
"These two commentators are quite interesting." In the audience, Tian Xiaoxiao said to Lin Chuhan and the other two beside her.
"Of course. They are the commentators of CCTV. Their professionalism is unquestionable," Xu Wantong said.
"Speaking of which, this Senior Ji Xiuming is really handsome. He's only a little bit less handsome than Big Brother Wang Teng, but his temperament is also very outstanding. This is a bonus point," Tian Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
Lin Chuhan and Xu Wantong couldn't help but roll their eyes. This love-struck fool!
"However, Senior Ji Xiuming is indeed very popular in Capital Xia. Almost every student in the school knows him. Many girls regard him as their idol," Xu Wantong said.
"Is he strong?" Lin Chuhan asked.
"Very strong. The commentator just said that he's a leading figure. He wasn't exaggerating at all," Xu Wantong said.
While Lin Chuhan and the other two were talking, Ji Xiuming from The First University had already led the other students to the ring closest to the central platform.
The positions were determined according to the ranking of the previous years. The first place would be the first ring, and so on.
"Next up is the team from Capital Military Academy. Capital Military Academy is the top military academy in the country. Every year, they send a large number of military talents to the country. The martial artists they train fight on the frontlines all year round. They don't care about life and death. It's admirable."
"The leader of Capital Military Academy is Luo Cheng. Luo Cheng was the top martial arts scholar in Luo Bei Province in 2005. He came from an ordinary background, but he was determined to join the military. At that time, he was admitted to Capital Military Academy as an Extreme Martial Disciple. In the past four years, his strength has increased rapidly, and he has killed countless enemies on the battlefield …"
The commentator's introduction caused everyone's gaze to involuntarily land on the first person from Capital Military Academy. They saw a young man with a buzz cut and a resolute face wearing a military uniform striding onto the second arena.
Facing countless gazes, he was calm and composed. He didn't look sideways, and an awe-inspiring aura surged from his body. People couldn't help but praise him in their hearts.
No wonder he was a genius nurtured by Capital Military Academy. He was indeed a dragon among men!
"Speaking of which, it's interesting. In the previous martial arts competition, the competition for the second and third place was extremely intense. Moreover, they were both from military academies. However, Capital Military Academy won by a small margin and took second place."
"The military academy that won third place is from the south. It's also one of the top five universities in the country. This school is Huanghai Military Academy!"
"Now, let's welcome Huanghai Military Academy from Donghai!"
Zhang Jun's voice spread, and a group of people walked out from the tunnel. They were also wearing military uniforms, but their appearance was slightly different from Capital Military Academy's. It set off their postures, and as they walked, they highlighted the extraordinary elegance of military academy students.
In the audience, Xu Wantong turned her head and smiled at Lin Chuhan. "Wang Teng is out!"
"Mm." Lin Chuhan nodded. She looked at the crowd and saw a very familiar figure.
"Little Brother Wang Teng looks so handsome in his military uniform!" Tian Xiaoxiao held her heart, and her eyes were mesmerized. "As expected, Little Brother Wang Teng is more handsome."
Xu Wantong was speechless. This girl was hopeless.
Lin Chuhan didn't pay attention to this at that moment. Her gaze was still following that familiar figure. This was the first time she saw him in his military uniform.
"This guy really does look a little good in his military uniform," she muttered in her heart.
…
"The leader of Huanghai Military Academy is Han Zhu. Han Zhu is the top scholar of Donghai's martial arts exam in 2005. He also entered Donghai University as an Extreme Martial Disciple. He has great potential. I wonder what kind of surprise he will bring us in the martial arts competition this time?" Zhang Jun asked.
"I'm looking forward to his match with Luo Cheng." Su Xiao smiled.
"Hahaha, I hope they will meet. It will be a fierce battle," Zhang Jun said.
In the arena, Luo Cheng lowered his head and looked at Han Zhu, who was walking toward him. Their gazes met in mid-air, and it was as if sparks were flying. Their gazes were sharp, and they didn't show any weakness.
Han Zhu also had a buzz cut. His face was resolute, and his temperament was similar. However, compared to Luo Cheng, Han Zhu was like a piece of steel that had been tempered countless times. He was introverted and didn't have a sharp aura.
The audience couldn't help but compare the two of them together. They excitedly discussed the strength of the two of them, looking forward to their next match.
"Oh right, there's another person from Huanghai Military Academy who is attracting a lot of attention," Zhang Jun suddenly said as if he thought of something.
"You're talking about the top scholar of Donghai's martial arts exam, Wang Teng, right?" Su Xiao asked.
"That's right. Some people might not know this, but Wang Teng is the same as Ji Xiuming. He entered Donghai University as a 1-star soldier-level martial warrior. I heard that the First University even sent people to Donghai to recruit him. However, Wang Teng chose to stay in his hometown and entered Huanghai Military Academy," Zhang Jun explained as he flipped through the information in his hands.
The audience's curiosity was piqued again. The news that Huanghai Military Academy sent out a freshman, Wang Teng, was only spread in the martial arts circle. Ordinary people didn't know much about it. They only knew about some famous young martial artists like Ji Xiuming, Luo Cheng, and Han Zhu.
Some people who already knew about this revealed meaningful expressions. They looked at Wang Teng, who was among the crowd from Huanghai Military Academy.
Many big shots were also paying attention to this. After all, it was the first time that a freshman was sent to participate in the National Number One Martial Arts Competition. They couldn't help but be curious.
Unfortunately, they couldn't see anything. Wang Teng's strength seemed to be shrouded by a fog. No one could see his true strength.
"Did he use a special method to hide his cultivation?" Many people frowned. The curiosity in their hearts grew stronger.
When Ji Xiuming from The First University heard that Wang Teng also entered Donghai University as a 1-star soldier-level martial warrior and even rejected the First University's special offer, he lowered his head and looked at him.
Wang Teng didn't expect the commentator to mention his name. At this moment, he felt countless gazes from all directions. He couldn't help but feel helpless.
If one was too outstanding, they would be the center of attention no matter where they went!
Sigh, life was just so helpless.
Suddenly, he felt a gaze on him. He couldn't help but look up. Coincidentally, he met Ji Xiuming's gaze.
He confirmed it with his gaze. This fellow was quite handsome!
However, he was still a little lacking compared to him.
After seeing Ji Xiuming's appearance, Wang Teng's conclusion was surprisingly similar to Tian Xiaoxiao's.
If he knew that Tian Xiaoxiao also thought the same, he would definitely treat her as his confidante.
Wang Teng glanced at Ji Xiuming. Their gazes were deep and their expressions were calm. Then, they walked past each other.
"Interesting!"
…
In the audience seats.
Xu Wantong said, "Wang Teng's name was actually mentioned. Now, more people are paying attention to him."
"Will someone try to trip him up?" Lin Chuhan asked worriedly.
"You're worried. This is such a grand event. So many big shots are paying attention. Who would dare to trip him up? However, when the competition starts, many people will definitely want to test his strength," Xu Wantong said.
"How's Little Brother Wang Teng's ability now?" Tian Xiaoxiao asked.
"I'm not sure either. I hope he can get a good ranking," Lin Chuhan said.
Xu Wantong shook her head. She didn't have high hopes for him. There were many geniuses in the National Number One Martial Arts Competition. If he participated as a freshman, his ability was still too weak. The result wouldn't be good.
On the other side of the audience seats.
Li Xiumei pulled Wang Shengguo. She looked proud and agitated. "Our son. That's our son …"
