After the match, this match also attracted the attention of many media outlets, and they reported on the match between the Flying Celestial Fu Long and the Earth Brave Warriors.
There were many teams that obtained nine points in the first match, but only the Fu Long battle team could beat their opponents nine to zero.
Hence, in the eyes of many, this team from a remote galaxy became the biggest dark horse of this year's Empire League!
"The Flying Celestial Planet Fu Long battle team is the first dark horse of this year's Empire League. Can this unfamiliar team stay dark till the end?"
"The Fu Long battle team is a dark horse? Lin Zijin, who made her debut in a large-scale competition, was once a student of the affiliated high school of the First Academy. She was very famous in Ziyun, but after leaving Ziyun for a year, she appeared in the Fu Long battle team from a remote galaxy, and her performance was extremely outstanding. What made her choose the Fu Long battle team? "
"Lin Zijin, an internet celebrity on the Ziyun planet who is famous for being cold and fierce in the virtual world, actually has such strong combat ability. It's surprising."
"The previous best of the Fu Long battle team, Shirō Makino, did not appear in the first match. His rumored girlfriend, Lin Zijin, is controlling the competition alone …"
At the same time, Brother Niao and Dong Li, the two people who understood the Fu Long battle team the best, were also invited by the various media outlets to participate in various interview programs, to talk about what they thought the Fu Long battle team was like.
Of course, these things in the news media didn't have much of an impact on the Fu Long Battle Team.
After the competition ended, the group followed Wan Xiong and the others who had rushed over to have a meal.
Wan Xiong was very emotional. In the Empire League last year, the competition was far less intense than this year, but they still did not make a name for themselves in the competition.
"I knew that you were all very outstanding, but your performance still surprised me!" Wan Xiong held his wine glass and said with a face full of emotion. "Congratulations on your good start! Nine to zero … a clean sheet, this result is really amazing! "
Sikong Feiyun, who had now become Wan Xiong's girlfriend, said with a smile, "You really brought glory to the Flying Celestial! And today's meal is on me! "
"Why?" Liu and the others looked at this beautiful, long-legged senior sister in confusion.
Sikong Feiyun smiled and said, "In this match, I bet on you guys to keep a clean sheet. The upper limit of the payout is 150%. Hahaha, I bet 100,000 and earned 15 million!"
"F * ck!" Everyone was stunned on the spot.
Even Wan Xiong did not expect Sikong Feiyun to be so ruthless.
"You didn't buy anything else? You only bought this? "Ji Chae Yi asked in disbelief.
Sikong Feiyun shook her head with a smile, "I even bet one million on you guys defeating your opponents. Of course, the payout isn't that high, but it's still a small profit, hehe!"
As she spoke, she glanced at Wan Xiong. "Didn't I tell you to buy it?"
"I did, but I only bet on our Fu Long Battle Team winning, nine to zero …" Wan Xiong looked at everyone. "I'm not afraid of you guys getting angry, but who would dare to think of this?"
Pan Xiangwen and Li Qiufeng nodded vigorously at the side. They also only bet on Fu Long Battle Team winning, but the score … they really did not dare to bet on it.
On the competition stage, the situation was changing rapidly. Even if Shirō Makino and Lin Zijin were stronger, even if both of them went on stage at the same time, even if they had the ability to dominate the competition … who could guarantee that they would not be able to kill a single opponent?
In the previous Flying Celestial League, Fu Long Battle Team members had died before. Even in that level of competition, members had been killed, not to mention the higher intensity of the Empire League.
Hence, this result was really too unexpected.
Otherwise, the media would not have described Fu Long Battle Team as a "dark horse," as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Hence, everyone admired Sikong Feiyun's courage. Although a hundred thousand yuan was not considered a lot to this group of rich students, it was not a small sum either.
"Senior sister is mighty!" Shan Gu and the others all had a look of admiration on their faces.
Sikong Feiyun giggled and asked, "Didn't you guys buy some for yourselves?"
Shan Gu said, "I only bet on us to be the champion!"
"En!" Ji Chae Yi nodded.
Si Yin said, "Me too."
Huo!
Sikong Feiyun, Pan Xiangwen, and Li Qiufeng all had a look of admiration on their faces.
"This is even more impressive!"
Before the competition even started, they dared to bet on themselves to be the champion. This was indeed very impressive.
"It's a pity that if we bet now, the odds are already very low." Sikong Feiyun was a little regretful.
Wan Xiong, who was at the side, smiled and said, "Previously, when the odds were more than a hundred, I actually bet ten million."
This time, everyone looked at him.
Sikong Feiyun could not help but lightly hit him. "You're too much! Why didn't you say anything at that time? "
"I said it, you might not have noticed." Wan Xiong had a look of grievance on his face.
"No, you didn't say it!" Sikong Feiyun said.
"Alright, then I didn't say it." Wan Xiong smiled bitterly.
Liu glanced at Ji Chae Yi with a sorrowful look, and it just so happened that Ji Chae Yi was also looking at him.
Then, everyone looked at the two of them and couldn't help but laugh.
Wan Xiong said, "Do you guys still remember that Sun Pengyuan?"
Ji Chae Yi and the others nodded.
Wan Xiong said, "Yesterday, he told me that he would come over to treat you guys to a meal, but it seemed like he was delayed by something. Just now, he even sent me a message saying that he couldn't come today, but he would definitely find time to come over in the next few days …"
"Sun Pengyuan?" Liu seemed to have some impression of this name. He glanced at Chae Yi.
Chae Yi smiled and said, "The one I told you about before, the one who went to Hundred Blossoms and told me he was my fiancé."
Liu curled his lips and said, "I remember now, it's him."
"Yes, that person is the youngest son of the new Prime Minister of the Empire. He's actually a pretty good person." Wan Xiong looked at Liu and said, "He went to Hundred Blossoms to mess up that marriage, which wasn't very promising in the first place. He's no threat to you."
Liu smiled and did not say anything.
For him, whether it was Wan Xiong or the youngest son of the new Prime Minister of the Empire, none of them were a threat.
The biggest threat wasn't even Chae Yi's family!
As people grew older and more mature, their understanding of the world became more and more comprehensive, and they would always have different thoughts than when they were young.
These were the things that could truly threaten the relationship between the two of them.
However, Cai Yi was very mature. The reason why she was with him was that they were attracted to each other and liked each other.
Their personalities complemented each other very well. This was also one of the reasons why Chae Yi's mother, Song Xingyu, did not interfere.
On one hand, her daughter liked him, and on the other hand, Liu could indeed take good care of Chae Yi.
When Wan Xiong mentioned Sun Pengyuan earlier, he didn't mean any harm because Sun Pengyuan didn't like Ji Chae Yi.
He just felt that this person was someone worth being friends with.
Even to Liu, it was the same.
Everyone came from the same place, so they naturally had to stick together.
Only when everyone was good would they be better off.
Although Wan Xiong had high aspirations in the martial way, in terms of his official career … he also had his own thoughts.
After entering The First Academy, he had seen a wider world and more geniuses. He was very clear where his own ceiling was.
And the ceiling of Xiao Bai's group, at least for now, he couldn't see it!
With their previous relationship as a foundation, Wan Xiong had always wanted to deepen his relationship with these people.
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
After the meal, Wan Xiong and the rest left. Liu followed Shirō Makino and the rest back to the hotel.
In the other match in Group C, Earthling Star's champion, Deng Huo, versus Wenxing Star's runner-up, Ethereal. As expected, Deng Huo won.
They had won six points in the team competition, and eight points in the individual competition after two wins.
But Ethereal's side didn't lose too badly. They had won four people in the team competition, and in addition to the individual competition, they had won a total of five points.
Although they weren't very satisfied with their performance, in fact, it was already considered a good result in the eyes of outsiders.
However, all of this was too insignificant compared to the Fu Long Battle Team's nine to zero.
This crushing battle not only destroyed the confidence of Valiant Warrior Team, but even Deng Huo and Ethereal were trembling in fear when they were interviewed.
They weren't as confident as they were before.
If there was a team among the thirty-five teams other than Fu Long who wasn't surprised by Fu Long's performance, it would definitely be Sen Yue's Rune God Team.
Now, this name had become their biggest shackle.
Yes, the name "Rune God Battle Team" had almost become a joke that everyone used to accompany their meals.
The members of Rune God Team had all become a joke.
As Fu Long Team became famous in one battle, the photos and videos of their encounter with Rune God Team at the space center and the small conflict were constantly being dug up.
In particular, the photos of both teams entering the virtual hall and the Rune God Team leaving with black faces were widely circulated.
Although no one knew what happened between the two teams in the virtual world, everyone guessed that Rune God Team must have lost.
Fortunately, Rune God Team, which was in Group F, had won nine points in the first match, and only lost three people to the opponent in the team competition. The results were also very eye-catching.
Otherwise, just the public opinion of these two days would have been enough to make them collapse.
But this was the Empire League, and on this stage were young geniuses from all over the Zulong Empire.
There were definitely people who weren't convinced by Fu Long Team.
Although the spokespeople of each team all said a bunch of high-sounding words in front of the media.
Things like congratulating Fu Long Team, saying that Fu Long Team was really powerful, and so on.
But in fact, on the second day of the competition, someone released a video …
The scene in the video should be in a restaurant.
A group of young people were sitting there eating and chatting.
Facing Fu Long Team, a dark horse from the Fairy Realm, the tone of this group of young people was full of frivolity and disdain.
"Hehe, that scared me a little! Nine to zero … Aiya, that's really amazing, we all lost a head, hahaha! "
"Come on, if you weren't too reckless and didn't put the opponent in your eyes, how could you have been defeated by four against one? Old Zuo, you obviously didn't want the opponent to lose too badly and give away points. Look at Fu Long, how domineering! He took nine points for himself and didn't leave a single point for the opponent! "
"Hahaha, this is really a little too much. After all, we are just opponents in the competition, not enemies. Why did you have to shave a bald head? Also, I'm not saying this, but after this battle, just watch. In the following competitions, Fu Long will definitely be taken care of! "
"Yes, if they didn't advance, it would be fine. Once they advance, this team will definitely be targeted by all the teams!"
"What a pity, I always wanted to pull Lin Zijin into the team. I didn't expect her to abandon herself and go to a poor place like the Fairy Realm. I really don't know what she was thinking."
"Hahaha, monkey, don't think that we don't know what you are thinking. You obviously have a crush on Lin Zijin and want to chase her. In the end, before you could gather your courage, she went to find someone a hundred times more handsome than you. Hahaha!"
"What's the use of being handsome? I have seen that person controlling talismans. It's too exaggerated! Also, the funny thing is that there are actually people who imitate him. This is really a little stupid. That kind of talisman flying up and down is used to show off. Not only does it consume a lot of mental strength, but in the process of controlling the talisman, it is easy to be distracted. It's fine if he is facing a weaker opponent, but once he meets a real opponent, he will show his true colors! In the whole team of Fu Long, actually, only Lin Zijin is good looking, and she is from our Ziyun … The others are just useless, not worth mentioning. "
In the video, a group of young people laughed very happily.
The young man who was called monkey did not care too much. He smiled and shook his head. "I was thinking of when I become an intermediate Master, then I will chase her. Who would have thought that she would run away!"
"Sigh, to be honest, that guy called Shirō Makino is really handsome. Monkey, you have no chance!"
"Hehe, if I can meet him, I will beat him up in the competition. I will let him know that the girls of our Ziyun are not so easy to chase!" The guy called monkey smiled lightly.
After the video was circulated, it quickly became a hot topic.
Many people only needed to take a look to know the identity of this group of people.
The Celestial Team from the First Academy's affiliated high school in the Imperial Planet Ziyun!
Before the start of this Empire League, they were the most popular team to win the championship.
This team was made up of eight people. They were the Talisman Artist and the team leader, Mu Yuhai. It was said that his Spiritual Power was as high as 399, and he was a true national treasure!
He was a top prodigy who was even more powerful than Zhao Mengning!
To many people, this name was very unfamiliar. Even Lin Zijin, who had been studying at the First Affiliated High School, did not know much about this person.
It was said that he was very low-key, and only stood out in the Ziyun League last year.
The Archer, Hou Weijia, was also a guy. The latest news was that he was an intermediate Master!
The Shield Warrior, Wu Xuewei, looked very well-proportioned and beautiful with long legs. However, her profession was a Shield Warrior! An intermediate Master.
Not only was Wu Xuewei a solo Shield Warrior, but she was also good at both the Assassin and Swordsman professions.
At critical moments, she could throw away her shield and be an assassin or a swordsman without any pressure.
She was also known for her strange and unpredictable moves in competitions.
Very few people knew that behind her shield was a dagger or a sword.
The Swordsman, Meng Jiqian, was also a girl. She had once fought with Lin Zijin in the virtual world and was defeated by her. However, she did not lose badly, and it was not easy for Lin Zijin to defeat her.
The Fist Master, Wen Xiangjun, was a tall and strong Spiritual Warrior. If one did not report his gender, people would mistake him for a man. His fist techniques were known for their ferocity. An intermediate Master.
The Swordsman, Zuo Guangrui, was an intermediate Master. He was good at the fire element, Roaring Flame Blade.
The Assassin, Hao Youran, was not tall, but he appeared and disappeared mysteriously. He was a beginner Master.
The Talisman Artist, Dai Jingyun, had a Spiritual Power of 328. He was good at support and curse talismans. He was also a national treasure.
One had to admit that the champion team from the Ziyun League was really strong on paper!
Other than the two national treasure geniuses, there was also the Talisman Artist, who had a Spiritual Power of more than 300.
The archer Hou Weijia, the one who was teased for wanting to chase after Lin Zijin, was an intermediate master; the shield warrior Wu Xuewei, an intermediate master; the swordsman Meng Jiqian, a peak beginner master, had a spiritual energy value of more than 800, close to 900; the fist mage Wen Xiangjun, a girl who was close to men, was an intermediate master; the swordsman Zuo Guangrui, the guy who was said to give his opponent points on purpose so that his opponent would not lose so badly, was an intermediate master; the assassin Hao Youran, also had a spiritual energy value of close to 900, was a peak beginner master.
There was a total of six Spiritual Warriors. There were four intermediate Masters and two young Masters who were close to the intermediate level.
This lineup was so gorgeous that it made countless opponents feel despair!
On the other hand, the Fu Long Battle Team was a group of beginner Masters. Under the leadership of the "high-level" Talisman Artist, Shirō Makino, they had become the black horse in people's eyes.
No matter how people looked at it, they felt that they were not a match for the Celestial Battle Team.
Of course, whether or not these two teams would meet depended on whether or not they could advance from the group stage.
According to the current situation, the Celestial Battle Team should be able to advance from the group stage.
Although the Swordsman, Zuo Guangrui, had been defeated in the first team competition, this did not affect their popularity at all.
After all, as long as one wasn't blind, they could see that he was deliberately sending himself to death.
On the other hand, on the Fu Long Battle Team, although Lin Zijin had displayed extraordinary strength and Shirō Makino, who didn't go up, was also very exciting. However, the performances of the others … although they were also very eye-catching, they had not reached the point where they could completely convince people.
Therefore, there was still a long way to go. There were still many matches …!
On the third day, the second match of the Empire League began on time.
In the broadcast room, Brother Niao and Dong Li were warming up before the match.
"Brother Dong, have you been paying attention to some of the voices on the internet these few days?" Brother Niao looked at Dong Li and asked.
"Yes, you're referring to the matter of the Fu Long Battle Team being called a dark horse, right?" Dong Li pushed up his glasses and said with a serious face.
"Yes, that's the matter. Speaking of which, many people feel that it was because of the Valiant Battle Team's ranking and formation that we got such a big advantage. Brother Dong, what do you think about this?" Brother Niao asked.
Dong Li thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I've also seen many such sayings. The way I see it, I just want to say a famous saying that has been passed down for thousands of years …"
"What famous saying?"
"Facts speak louder than words!"
Dong Li pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile, "Also, I want to say something. In a competition, victory or defeat is not determined by one's level. A higher level will certainly give you a certain advantage, but a relatively lower level doesn't mean that you can't win the competition. "
This sentence was actually aimed at the Celestial Battle Team.
After all, the Celestial Battle Team's Intermediate Master Archer Hou Weijia, nicknamed Monkey, had severely belittled the Fu Long Battle Team with his last words. Other than Lin Zijin, even Xiao Bai had been ruthlessly ridiculed by him.
Regarding this, as Xiao Bai's most hardcore fans, Dong Li and Brother Niao obviously couldn't accept it.
But because of their identities, they couldn't be as intense as those supporters of Xiao Bai said on the internet. They could only use this method to vaguely express their dissatisfaction.
More importantly, it was support for the Fu Long Battle Team!
The video of the Celestial Battle Team ridiculing the Fu Long Battle Team that was circulating on the internet was also mentioned in the pre-competition press conference.
Regarding this, Liu didn't beat around the bush, but gave a particularly positive response.
"Whether it's okay or not, there's no use in talking. See you in the final round robin! Of course, the premise is that they can enter the final round. "
Liu said.
