May 25th, 8 AM. Star Dragon City, which had been quiet for a day, was once again bustling with noise and excitement.
As the first contestants of the semifinals, Star Dragon's First Academy and the Federal Military University were already on standby in the preparation area.
Yu Cai 'er stood in front of the window, her eyes gloomy as she looked at the sea of people in the stadium. Originally, she wanted to take advantage of the few days before the competition to meet Qinchuan, but because she had to participate in training, she didn't have any free time. Perhaps her first meeting with Qinchuan after being separated for a long time would be on the stage.
"In this match, we will be facing the Federal Military University. There is nothing much to say about the opponent's contestants. In terms of overall strength, they are slightly weaker than us. As long as we seriously display our strength, we will definitely win."
As the captain, Wang Wenxue didn't make any specific arrangements before the match because there was no need. This was only the semifinals, and their opponent, the Federal Military University, wasn't that strong.
Xu Wenliang and Ceng Shulan agreed with Wang Wenxue's words. This was because they knew the few contestants from the Federal Military University. They had fought against them before, and their strength wasn't that strong compared to theirs. Winning against them shouldn't be a problem. What was truly worthy of their attention was their opponent in the finals.
"The other group is the Black Moon Combat Academy versus the Black Sky Sect's Affiliated Academy. The Black Sky Sect's Affiliated Academy was already eliminated by us, so there is no need to pay attention to them. What we really need to pay attention to is the Black Moon Combat Academy. To be precise, it should be Qinchuan."
Xu Wenliang rubbed his chin and analyzed, "In the match against the Divine Sword Academy, whether it was Lu Juque or Zuo Li, Qinchuan displayed absolute suppression. His strength shouldn't be underestimated."
"This Qinchuan person, what we really need to be wary of is his talisman arrays."
Ceng Shulan looked deeply at Wang Wenxue and said, "Captain, I heard that your relationship with Qinchuan isn't shallow. How much do you know about Qinchuan's strength in talisman arrays?"
Wang Wenxue pursed her lips and said, "If possible, try not to give him the chance to inscribe talisman formations."
"However, his speed of inscribing talisman arrays is really too fast. That day, when he fought against Lu Juque, he only used a few breaths of time to inscribe talisman arrays and successfully broke Lu Juque's Imperial Sword Technique. Even if our strength is stronger than Lu Juque, it is still very limited."
Xu Wenliang was somewhat helpless. It was too difficult to stop Qinchuan and not give Qinchuan the opportunity to inscribe the talisman array.
"Where there is a will, there is a way."
Wang Wenxue didn't say anything else. She got up and walked towards the arena. It was about time for her to take the stage.
…
At nine o 'clock in the morning, the first match of the semi-finals finally arrived. Among the cheers of the crowd, the freshmen representatives of the First Academy of Stardragon and the freshmen representatives of the Federal Military University officially appeared. The eight of them were divided into two groups, facing each other from afar.
The host stood in the middle of the two groups and announced loudly, "Now, I announce the start of the first match between the First Academy of Stardragon and the Federal Military University!"
Following the host's announcement, the audience cheered passionately, cheering for the teams they supported. The First Academy of Stardragon and the Federal Military University each sent a contestant to fight on the stage.
Surprisingly, Wang Wenxue was the first to step onto the stage from Stardragon's First Academy!
All along, Wang Wenxue had been seen as the trump card of the First Academy of Stardragon. She was publicly known as the hidden ace. If the other three contestants hadn't been defeated, Wang Wenxue wouldn't have gone up the stage.
Seeing Wang Wenxue go up the stage first, the crowd was puzzled. Could it be that the First Academy of Stardragon was going to change their battle style?
On the Federal Military University's side, the first contestant to go up the stage was a guy who looked strong and powerful. His name was Fang Yong. He originally thought that his opponent would be Ceng Shulan or Xu Wenliang, but he didn't expect it to be Wang Wenxue. This made his battle intent soar, and his gaze towards Wang Wenxue became heated.
"I didn't expect you to be the first to go up the stage."
"I didn't want to at first, but the finals are about to begin. I want to spend more time studying my opponents in the finals. I don't want to waste too much time on your Federal Military University, so I can only go up and end this quickly."
Wang Wenxue looked at Fang Yong calmly. She didn't care about Fang Yong at all. Her words were broadcasted throughout the arena through the loudspeakers, and then broadcast to the entire Star Dragon Federation through the live broadcast.
After hearing Wang Wenxue's words, the audience went wild. The semifinals hadn't officially started, but Wang Wenxue was already studying her opponents in the finals. She clearly didn't take the Federal Military University seriously!
Fang Yong looked at Wang Wenxue with a gloomy expression. He sneered and said, "You're really conceited. Are you so sure that you can win?"
Wang Wenyan looked at Fang Yong indifferently and said, "I have the right to be conceited. As for you, you can only accept your fate."
Beep beep beep!
As the whistle sounded, the first match of the semifinals officially began!
…
In the huge stadium, there were hundreds of thousands of spectators. They all looked at Wang Wenxue, who was standing on the stage, with strange expressions. It was as if they were looking at a monster.
In front of Wang Wenxue, Fan Lei was wrapped in a huge water ball. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from the water ball. He could only watch as the water ball moved out of the arena. Then, he watched as the referee picked up the whistle and blew the whistle to end the match.
Fan Lei fell to the ground below the stage. He looked at his three team members beside him in a daze. His mind was in a mess. He did not understand. He had clearly learned from his predecessor's mistakes. He had tried so hard, but he still could not escape the water ball's shackles. This match, he had lost aggrievedly!
In less than ten minutes, the opponents standing in front of Wang Wenxue, from Fang Yong to Fan Lei, had changed a total of four people. Without exception, all four of them were wrapped in the water ball that suddenly appeared at the beginning of the match and were casually thrown out of the arena. Just like that, they inexplicably lost the match!
From the beginning to the end, Wang Wenxue just stood in the same spot. She didn't even move!
Before the match started, many people thought that the match between Stardragon's First Academy and the Federal Military University would be very intense and exciting. No one thought that the highly anticipated semifinals would end in such a strange way!
Wang Wenxue looked at the referee calmly and nodded lightly at him. Then, she walked down the stage and led her team members back to the resting area. As for the four people from the Federal Military University who had sullen and angry faces, Wang Wenxue didn't care about them at all.
