Shang Jing
Outside the Assembly Star Building, which was over a hundred meters tall, was a purplish red steel beast.
The Assembly Star Building was where the Assembly Star Team trained and lived.
Whether it was locals or tourists, the Assembly Star Building was an indispensable attraction.
On the outside of the building, there were twelve screens.
Every screen was showing the highlights of the battle between the members of the battle team, attracting the attention of many passersby and vehicles. The passersby would occasionally stop and discuss a few words, and many people directly walked into the building.
The first floor of the Assembly Star Building was an exhibition hall.
It displayed the history of the Juxing Club, the trophies they had won, and the members of the team.
Many tourists were holding their phones or cameras, taking pictures with their favorite members of the Glory of Glory on the wall.
Without a doubt, the captain of the Assembly Star Team, Ye Xing, was the most popular, followed by Xie Yixiao.
The first floor was open to the public. Every day, there would be many fans holding posters of their idols, looking around, hoping to see their idols.
They knew that the Assembly Star Team was training in the building, but they didn't know which floor.
But even so, many people were still happy. To them, it was more than enough. Being able to be in the same building as their idols made them excited.
In the hall, the screens were showing the match from last week, the Assembly Star Team against the Wind Picking Team.
At this moment, there were thousands of people watching the match. Even if they had watched it many times, there were still people who were excited and discussing the highlights.
The 97th floor of the Assembly Star Building
Outside the forest training hall, several figures wearing red T-shirts were walking out in twos and threes. Many of them were drenched in sweat, and their breathing was rapid. Clearly, they had just finished training.
"Lost again. Ye Xing's Berserk Transformation was truly invincible. Ah Wen was already fully equipped. That armor probably weighed over five hundred pounds, but he was still sent flying. He couldn't even resist."
"Us substitutes are here to serve the main team. When will we be able to compete?"
The youths were discussing, their tone was filled with complaints and anger.
Back then, many of them were discovered on the third year of high school and directly signed with the Assembly Star Team.
Some of them performed well in the High School Glory League and were selected. Some of them participated in the Glory League after graduation and were selected as the top ten rookies.
But no matter which method it was, each and every one of them was a genius in the Martial Dao. Being able to refine Grade Eight and Grade Nine demon spirits made them the so-called Heaven's Chosen.
Originally, they thought that joining the Assembly of Stars team would make them superstars, but who would have thought that two-thirds of them didn't even participate in the official Glory of Glory competition. The remaining one-third were facing trash teams where the main players didn't even bother to participate. Only the substitutes had the chance to participate.
As substitutes, their usual task was to coordinate with the team's training.
When they first came to Juxing, their main goal was to become stars in Glory of Glory. But now, not to mention stars, as substitutes, no one even looked for them to endorse.
In the eyes of outsiders, they were contracted members of the Assembly of Stars team, but only they knew the pain in their hearts.
"What's there to complain about? We lose every day. We're already used to it. I wonder if my demon spirit's evolution path has been decided?" asked one of the youths.
"Why don't we just ask the Demon Spirit Research Department later? If they don't have it, what's the point of staying here?" someone said unhappily.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Juxing Club had a specialized Demon Spirit Research Department and a Combat Technique Research Department, they wouldn't still be here.
Although the club had signed a contract with them, if they didn't put in effort in their training, the club wouldn't force them to train.
However, not training was the worst solution.
Unless it was the last resort, no one would be willing to do that.
"Lower your voice, the main players are coming out."
Someone hurriedly whispered. At this moment, under the complicated gazes of the substitutes, five figures wearing purple T-shirts walked out of the training ground.
Four males and one female!
The leader was a handsome young man who was about 23 or 24 years old. He was 1.9 meters tall and had a crew cut. This young man seemed to have a halo around him. The moment he appeared, he attracted everyone's attention. The substitutes who had been complaining all shut their mouths.
If there were fans present, they would probably be screaming. This youth was the captain of the Assembly of Stars team, Berserker Ye Xing.
At only 23 years old, Ye Xing wasn't considered old among the main players. In fact, he was slightly younger.
However, at 20 years old, when he first joined the team, he firmly occupied the position of the main player. Last year, he even became the captain of the team. No matter how jealous his teammates were, they couldn't deny his talent and strength.
At 23 years old, Ye Xing was already a Rank-5 martial artist. He had refined the Violent Beast, which was ranked 68th on the Earth Leaderboard.
When he was possessed by a demon spirit and used the Second Berserk Transformation, no one in the Glory of Glory had the strength to fight him head-on.
His extremely violent fighting style made the blood of everyone who watched him boil. This was also the main reason why many fans liked him.
"Why aren't you eating yet?" Ye Xing was puzzled when he saw that it was almost 1 pm, but the substitutes still hadn't gone to eat.
Hearing Ye Xing's question, the substitutes didn't dare to show their dissatisfaction in front of him, no matter how much they grumbled or were dissatisfied with the team. They were all very respectful. "The coach said that he would come over later and asked us to wait for him!"
"Oh, then we'll wait."
Ye Xing smiled. He seemed very easy to talk to.
"Captain, I heard that the Blue Ocean Team of Team Two recently recruited a beauty?"
Behind Ye Xing, the main team member, Xie Yixiao, said mysteriously. He looked as if he would say anything if Ye Xing asked.
Xie Yixiao was also a Rank-5 martial artist. He had refined the Rank-9 Thunder Demon. His thunder control technique was superb. As a thunder mage, he was the main attacker of the team.
"Still pretending to be mysterious? You're acting as if no one knows."
"That's right. Do you think Captain Ye doesn't watch the news?"
When the other main team members saw this, they immediately ridiculed him.
Xie Yixiao's face was gloomy. He could only smile awkwardly.
"She's called Ya Ge, right? She's really beautiful." Ye Xing also smiled.
Although he was the captain of the team, Ye Xing was only 23 years old. He naturally paid attention to beautiful girls, not to mention that this Ya Ge had also signed a contract with Juxing.
"I've decided. I want to pursue that girl. Don't fight with me!" Xie Yixiao said seriously.
When he said this, everyone was speechless. Ye Xing also said helplessly, "Yixiao, you're 24 years old. You're one year older than me. How can you do that to a 16-year-old girl?"
"That's right. Don't violate the bottom line of the law."
"An old cow eating young grass. How can you do that?"
The other main team members laughed. The substitutes also laughed, but they didn't dare to go overboard. They didn't dare to directly ridicule him.
Although Xie Yixiao seemed to have a good temper, could joke, and was easy to talk to, if you naively thought so, you'd die a horrible death.
The authority of a main team member couldn't be offended. Moreover, Xie Yixiao was the team's all-star player. Other than Ye Xing, he had the highest status in the team.
"Who said I'm going to do it now? Have you heard of the Girl Raising Plan? When she's 20 years old, I'll be 16 years old. It'll be just right." Xie Yixiao chuckled. Everyone joked a little more but didn't take it seriously.
"Oh right, speaking of this Ya Ge, I thought of Ye Qiu!"
"That kid who refined the Bramble Demon Dragon might sign a contract with Thunderclap."
"I heard that Thunderclap even promised that if Ye Qiu joined, they'd directly give him a position in the main team five years later. Hehe, I wonder how Twin Blades felt when he heard that."
"It's okay. Yun Tianqi is already 25 years old. When Ye Qiu graduates from university and joins the team, he'll be retiring soon."
The Glory League had a rule that the upper age limit for Glory players was 30 years old. Once they were 30 years old, they'd be forced to retire.
"That Ye Qiu doesn't lack money. I'm afraid he has his own plans. If he signed a contract, Thunderclap would've already publicized it all over the world."
Everyone discussed animatedly.
Juxing and Thunderclap were old rivals. Although Thunderclap's Twin Blades were very strong and their battle results had soared in the past two years, Juxing was still one step ahead of Juxing.
"Brother Ye, if your Berserk Beast and the Bramble Demon Dragon fought head on, who would win?" someone asked curiously.
This question clearly attracted everyone's attention.
Ye Qiu's Bramble Demon Dragon was ranked 46th on the Earth Leaderboard, while Ye Xing's Berserk Beast was ranked 68th.
There was a difference of 22 places between the two. Although Ye Xing seemed a bit weaker, a demon's combat strength couldn't be determined just by looking at the ranking.
Especially when it came to demons of the same rank.
A demon's combat strength was closely related to its development direction, the number of fused skills, the coordination between the skills, and the owner's combat strength.
In the Glory of Glory tournament, Thunderclap's captain, Twin Blades Yun Tianqi, had only refined a rank-8 demon. However, nobody dared to underestimate him because of his famous Twin Blades Skill.
"Hehe, how would I know if I haven't tried? However, he'll definitely be difficult to deal with."
Ye Xing smiled. However, there was a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
Ye Qiu was only 16 years old now. There was a seven-year gap between them. By the time Ye Qiu truly matured, Ye Xing might have already retired. There should be no chance for them to fight.
"It's not just Ye Qiu. Have you guys seen the martial artist forum?
There's a Lin Feng in River City. He's a Rank-7 Physique Cultivator who killed a Rank-9 Physique Cultivator, and a Rank-8 Physique Cultivator who beat up a Rank-1 Physique Cultivator. "
"That kid is Ya Ge's ex-boyfriend."
"There's a huge commotion on the forum now. They're saying that Lin Feng is a peerless genius …"
Everyone laughed as they discussed. However, they didn't take it too seriously. To them, what kind of genius had they not seen before?
In the Glory of Glory Professional Alliance, one couldn't gain a foothold just by having talent.
Many geniuses with outstanding martial arts talent who had refined rank-9 or even Earth Leaderboard demon spirits could only sit on the bench in the Glory League. They weren't qualified to fight.
"Hey, the coach and the members of Team Two are here too!"
At this moment, Ye Xing and the others noticed a middle-aged man in a suit walking out from the staircase. Behind him, more than 30 young boys and girls in black training uniforms were looking around curiously.
"They're still very young!"
"Seeing them reminds me of my youth. I heard that Team Two has a few talented ones this year."
"So that's Ya Ge. She's really beautiful!"
"It's mainly her temperament. It's just that she's too young. I don't want to make a move on her!"
The members of Team Two looked at the young boys and girls and discussed softly.
There was no doubt that the girl with a pure appearance and a hint of charm was the most attractive in the team.
