With a flash of light, the three members of the White Phoenix team and the two white eagles appeared in Crimson Fire Square.
There was a slight deviation in their position. When they set off, they were at the entrance of the Super Gods Building, but when they returned, they appeared near the central fountain, about 300 meters away from the entrance of the building.
This slight deviation when traversing through the Spirit World was insignificant. Although there was a deviation, the Awakened would always appear in an empty spot. There would not be a situation where one would be "embedded" in a concrete wall or half of one's body was buried in the ground due to the spatial deviation after returning.
The people coming and going around cast curious, envious, and respectful gazes at them. The three of them had just returned from the Spirit World and did not activate their transformations. They were all wearing Spirit World equipment that shone with a strengthening glow. Ordinary people could naturally tell that they were the three Awakened.
Although the two white eagles were underage, they were already larger than an adult and had a fierce temperament. Ordinary people could also tell that they were mutated birds of prey that had been domesticated.
"Bai Xiaowen … Isn't this Bai Xiaowen, last year's top scorer in the college entrance examination?" A middle-aged man pushed up his glasses.
"The Psychic Prince!" Two girls who were 14 or 15 years old and wearing school uniforms said in surprise. The group of junior high school students beside them suddenly burst into an uproar. Their chatter sounded like sparrows holding a meeting.
There were also some university students who called him the "league champion."
Although Bai Xiaowen's popularity in the Spirit World had declined slightly, he had been barely able to maintain a B-rank through the efforts of Sister Zheng and her fan club. He was considered a moderately famous celebrity. At least in Jinghai City, he had become a city hero and was regarded as the most promising young person by the people of Jinghai City. He had reached a point where everyone knew him.
Of course, Bai Xiaowen's popularity was only average in the entire Hua Xia. He was even less famous in the entire world.
Now that the summer vacation was over, the new top scorer in the college entrance examination had been announced. Bai Xiaowen had been concerned about it before. After all, he did not want to give up the title of the strongest top student.
The new top scorer was a hero professional genius in the Beijing area. However, he only had slightly more than 1,200 points, which was only a few points away from the second place. He was far from Bai Xiaowen's crushing momentum.
Bai Xiaowen's 1445 points were still very stable. However, with Hua Xia's huge population base, it was hard to guarantee that there would not be a few talented newcomers who were extremely strong in all aspects.
If someone scored more than 1445 points, Bai Xiaowen's title as the top student would disappear. However, due to the fact that the full score was 1,500 points, the latecomers would not be able to surpass Bai Xiaowen by more than 100 points. As a result, they would not be able to obtain the title of the strongest scholar. Once this title was hidden, it would be lost forever.
Crowds of twos and threes swarmed over, wanting to get a closer look at Bai Xiaowen. There were also people looking around for pens, wanting to ask for a few autographs.
Bai Xiaowen could only keep apologizing. The three of them gently activated their Psionic Energy fields and squeezed out a path that led straight into the Super Gods Building.
At Bai Xiaowen's house.
It was noon. Knowing that the three of them would be back today, Li Beihai and Sister Zheng came over for a free meal. Personal Assistant He Zhiqing had prepared a table full of Psionic Cuisine. The aroma was enough to whet one's appetite.
"You didn't see the scene back then. Xiaowen has really become a big star." Li Shuyi's eyes curved like crescent moons.
"Yes … Thanks to Xiao Bai, the guild's popularity has also increased a lot." Li Beihai rubbed his head, feeling a headache coming on. "I don't know if it's good or bad. In short, the guild and Xiao Bai are now at the cusp of the storm."
Bai Xiaowen looked at Sister Zheng.
Sister Zheng smiled and said, "There is indeed a lot of news about you joining the Super Gods and creating your own team. Many media outlets are pessimistic about your choice. They think that Super Gods is just a small guild at the bottom of the B-Division League and that you joining the Super Gods is just a waste of your life."
Bai Xiaowen could understand such news. The captain of the champion team of the University League had graduated early, rejected the big guilds, and joined a small guild. This was enough to attract people's attention, not to mention that Bai Xiaowen had a lot of fans.
In the past year, the local media and some external media outlets had been flattering Bai Xiaowen, making him a future superstar. And the sad fall of a future superstar was bound to be a big topic of discussion. When the time came, all kinds of "Sad Zhongyong" headlines would come out, and it would be another Internet feast.
Regardless of whether the media was flattering or pessimistic, Bai Xiaowen was calm and collected. He maintained a calm heart and did not put too much pressure on himself. He knew that for an Awakened, strength was the most important thing. As long as he could achieve good results in the League, he would naturally be able to shut up those pessimistic media outlets.
After lunch, Sister Zheng reported the recent situation to Bai Xiaowen.
The number of real-name members of the fan site had exceeded 50,000. Those who were willing to register as fans with their real names were basically fans with a very high degree of loyalty. This number was astonishing. And among these 50,000 fans, there were thousands of die-hard fans who had joined Bai Xiaowen's fan club. Under the leadership of female tycoon fans such as Sugar Duckling and Yiyi, as well as Sister Zheng's guidance, they had formed a group of extremely strong and stable fans.
The sales of Bai Xiaowen's template began to decline. This was an inevitable trend. It was clear that the decline curve was smooth. Many players on the platform had a Psychic Prince character template. Some players had even bought the expansion skin "Captain Calm Sea" as well.
In fact, the base number of Bai Xiaowen's template was already comparable to that of an A-list celebrity. Of course, it was incomparable to classic characters. Those players who only played in the advanced stage (Level 7 and above) usually did not pay attention to the character updates in the intermediate stage (Level 4 to 6), so they did not get the Psychic Prince character.
Now, Bai Xiaowen had risen to Level 7. However, he did not plan to update the Psychic Prince template for the time being.
There were two reasons for this. Firstly, he was only level 7. After the update, the Psychic Prince character could only enter the Advanced Stage. Facing those famous level 9 and level 10 classic hero characters, he was still lacking in strength. This was not a friendly situation for the players.
Second, Bai Xiaowen planned to hide his strength. His strength had increased explosively after rising to Level 7. His debut should be in the League Tournament, and not directly on the virtual battle platform.
"The deadline for the League Two registration is approaching. Are you ready?" Li Beihai asked.
"There are still only four people in the team at the moment," Bai Xiaowen said.
Li Beihai frowned. "Have you found the last person? If you don't like the people in the guild, I can help you contact the university students who graduated this year. Unfortunately, it's a bit late. Many of the hero classes have already been signed by other guilds. "
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "Actually, the four of us won't have a problem in the League Two. This time, in the Spiritual Realm, I signed a follower. She's a powerful leader. Yes, she should be a hero now. When necessary, I can summon her through the follower contract. We definitely won't be at a disadvantage in the League Tournament. "
"Follower?" Li Beihai was stunned. He quickly said, "No, the follower or servant of an Awakened is fundamentally different from a summoned creature. They can't be summoned in the League Tournament."
"There's such a rule?" Bai Xiaowen was slightly stunned.
"It's obvious that you haven't read the rules of the League Tournament."
Li Beihai could finally make his presence known. He coughed and said, "Think about it. A summoner's summoned creatures need to occupy the upper limit of their mental strength and skill slots. The number of creatures they can summon is bound to be limited. Followers and servants are different. They don't occupy the upper limit of their mental strength or skill slots. If there's a powerful second generation with a strong background and uses a Blood Contract item like the one you took out last time to sign a large number of followers, wouldn't that break the balance? "
Bai Xiaowen nodded cooperatively. "That's true."
Li Beihai smiled like a bear. He patted Bai Xiaowen on the shoulder and said, "The worst thing is that followers are not limited to creatures of the Spiritual Realm or mutant beasts. They also include other Awakened! Take you as an example. If there are no restrictions, it's not difficult to get a few Blood Contracts. You can forcibly contract five, six, seven or eight Awakened to become your servants. Add to that your four teammates and you have several times the number of your opponents. How are you going to fight? "
"I understand. So the rules of the League Tournament don't allow followers to participate?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Li Beihai waved his hand and said, "You can participate, but each follower has to occupy a spot in the team … Hmm?! Wait, let me think about it … "
Li Shuyi reacted quickly. "Then it's settled. Let Cecilia participate as a member of the League Tournament. Our team happens to have a spot empty anyway."
"Problem solved. It seems that I don't need to continue looking for teammates, "Bai Xiaowen said with a smile.
Li Beihai hadn't thought of this at first. Now that he thought about it, it did seem quite appropriate …
Li Beihai's expression changed when he thought of this. Bai Xiaowen's newly established League Tournament team … looked a little scary?
Bai Xiaowen and Qiao Rui were both Heroes. Now, there was also the leader who had transformed into a high-level Hero. This was a team of three Heroes! This kind of luxurious configuration was really rare in the Second Division League.
If his daughter, Li Shuyi, passed the Hero Trial … Li Beihai didn't dare to imagine it.
This team, from the moment it was built, was destined to have great potential. Perhaps Bai Xiaowen and the others' levels weren't high yet, but as time passed, their room for improvement was incomparable to that of other teams.
Thinking of this, Li Beihai suddenly felt confident again. Perhaps this was really an opportunity for the Super Gods to rise again and climb to the peak.
Bai Xiaowen then arranged the follow-up work for the White Phoenix team.
During this trip to the Cain Dimension, the territory of Baishi City would develop rapidly. The sales volume and the quality of the goods in the shop would be greatly improved. Bai Xiaowen had been training recently to adapt to the changes in his strength after reaching Level 7, especially the symbiotic special effects. He would mainly focus on the operation of the shop. He planned to open a new shop in the intermediate virtual trade area.
Of course, Bai Xiaowen first needed to bring the information of all the members of the White Phoenix team to the Awakened Association for registration. Li Beihai said that he would send Li Chengbin to accompany Bai Xiaowen to complete the team registration. He was very familiar with the process.
Li Shuyi needed to practice her long-range shooting specialty and prepare to participate in the Hero Trial. Next, she needed to practice hard in seclusion for a period of time.
…
On the official website of the Second Division League (CADL), a new team logo appeared. It was a simple phoenix design with white stripes on a black background.
This new team was called the "White Phoenix team."
Generally, when such a new team appeared, the guild would hold a press conference to promote it. This was also the beginning of the Awakened in the team to gain international fame. However, Bai Xiaowen rejected the publicity of the Super Gods. He didn't think it was necessary …
Sure enough, after the media found out that the captain of this new team that had landed in CADL was actually Bai Xiaowen, they spontaneously took action.
Neither the Super Gods nor the White Phoenix team held a press conference? The media reporters were even more excited. This was a sign that they had no confidence in themselves. How bad was the team of the captain of the new CUAA champion that they didn't even dare to hold a press conference?
The more they hid, the more the reporters wanted to dig into the inside story.
Soon, the information of the White Phoenix team was basically exposed …
Li Shuyi and Han Xu were Bai Xiaowen's comrades in the CUAA league. They were all elite professions. When the media saw this template, they directly regarded them as blue-collar. It was no wonder, the gap between elites and heroes was obvious.
Qiao Rui's exposure caused a wave of high (anti-mythological beast) in the media. Seeing that she was from Yan University, many people began to speculate about the story between Qiao Rui, Ouyang Heng, and Bai Xiaowen. All kinds of speculations were fresh out.
Many iron-headed reporters launched a siege, trying to interview the parties involved and get first-hand exclusive information. However, the Awakened were different from ordinary entertainment stars. An Awakened who did not want to be interviewed could not be caught or blocked no matter how many reporters there were.
Rumors flew everywhere. Bai Xiaowen wanted to comfort Qiao Rui, but found that he was overthinking. Qiao Rui was too lazy to pay attention to these people's "love triangle" and "enemies" speculations. She made it very clear to Bai Xiaowen that her only goal now was to be promoted to an evolved person and become the strongest among the evolved people. At the moment of promotion, any rumors and slanders would melt away without a trace.
Bai Xiaowen felt Qiao Rui's magnanimity. Of course, it was best to have this kind of mentality.
However, the last member of the White Phoenix team, "Cecilia," caused the media a headache. They couldn't find her even if they dug three feet into the ground.
There were only two simple lines of information on the official website.
Cecilia, female, follower, will be logged into CADL as the fifth member of the White Phoenix team.
Who on earth was this follower? Was she an Awakened or someone from the spiritual world? What kind of strength template was she? Everything seemed to be shrouded in fog.
Soon, the self-righteous media reporters gave a guess. Cecilia should be an elite. There was a high probability that she was from the spiritual world, a blue-collar character who was pulled over to make up the numbers.
