On the 5th of June, the weather was gloomy. Thick dark clouds shrouded the sky above Star Dragon City, as if a heavy rain could fall at any time. However, even so, it couldn't suppress the audience's enthusiasm for the six great academies' ranking competition. Before eight o 'clock, the Red Dragon Stadium was already full. Everyone was looking forward to the first match of the semi-finals.
Today, the first match was between Star Dragon's First Academy and Starry Sky Academy. In the past, Star Dragon's First Academy and Starry Sky Academy rarely faced each other because Starry Sky Academy was always eliminated in the first round and didn't have the strength to fight their way through the revival round. This time, it was the first time that Starry Sky Academy participated in the semi-finals of the official competition!
And the reason why Starry Sky Academy had such a transformation in this year's six great academies' ranking competition could be said to be due to Zhou Lin's contribution.
As everyone knew, the current Starry Sky Academy was completely supported by Zhou Lin alone. Without Zhou Lin, Starry Sky Academy wouldn't be any different from before. Therefore, everyone was looking forward to Zhou Lin's performance.
In the preparation area, Duan Yuxin sat beside Zhou Lin, held her hand, and whispered, "Linlin, I'm a little nervous."
Zhou Lin smiled at Duan Yuxin and said, "Don't be nervous, it doesn't matter who wins, just do your best."
The moment the results of the draw came out, except for Zhou Lin, the other four contestants of Starry Sky Academy began to feel nervous. This was the first time they had entered the semi-finals, and also the first time they faced Star Dragon's First Academy in decades. To be honest, even with Zhou Lin, they didn't have the slightest chance of winning.
"Sorry, we dragged you down."
Duan Yuxin looked at Zhou Lin with guilt and said, "If it weren't for our weak performance, you wouldn't be so tired."
Everyone's face revealed a trace of shame when they heard this. Duan Yuxin was right. Not only did they not contribute anything to the team, they even dragged the team down at this crucial moment and shook the team's morale. They really let down Zhou Lin's hard work.
"Alright, everyone, don't think too much about it. Later, we'll go up the stage according to the order listed earlier. Regardless of whether we win or lose, just do your best."
Zhou Lin looked at everyone's ugly complexion and knew that these people probably didn't sleep well the whole night because they were worried about the competition. In fact, Zhou Lin was very clear that it wasn't easy for the Starry Sky Academy to come this far. Whether it was facing Su Kuang or Qin Haoxuan, she didn't have much chance of winning. Even if she had to face Qinchuan, she might not be able to win. Therefore, for the Starry Sky Academy, the third place was already the best result. If they could win the third place, it would be even better.
At 8: 40, the representatives of Stardragon First Academy and Starry Sky Academy appeared. In this stadium that could hold hundreds of thousands of people, all the spectators were cheering for Stardragon First Academy, Qin Haoxuan, and Ye Qingning. Almost no cheers for Starry Sky Academy could be heard. Even if there were, it was quickly drowned out by the waves of cheers, unable to create any ripples.
Listening to the cheers that had nothing to do with them, the expression on the Starry Sky Academy's faces could be said to be quite disappointed. As a team that made it to the top four, their popularity was really too low.
Just when everyone's mood was low, an extremely loud voice suddenly broke through the waves of cheers and resounded in the stadium!
"Go Starry Sky Academy!
Go Zhou Lin! "
Hearing this familiar voice, Zhou Lin subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of the voice. Seeing the figure standing in the audience and holding a megaphone and shouting crazily, Zhou Lin's mouth couldn't help but reveal a joyful smile.
Duan Yuxin, who was walking beside Zhou Lin, saw this scene and said sourly, "This junior of yours is really good to you."
Hearing this, Zhou Lin smiled and didn't say anything. For her, it didn't matter whether others supported her or not. As long as Qinchuan supported her and stood on her side, it was enough.
On the other side, after hearing Qinchuan cheering for Zhou Lin, the expressions on the First Academy's faces became somewhat subtle.
Ye Qingning looked at Qinchuan, who was standing in the audience and shouting loudly, and couldn't help but frown slightly. She turned her gaze to Zhou Lin and revealed a deep look in her eyes.
"Brother Haoxuan, that person is Qinchuan, right?
Baobao will beat him up for you, okay? "
Qian Duobao, who had some baby fat, walked beside Qin Haoxuan and said to him in a flattering tone, "I heard that this Qinchuan is a poor boy who came out of the slums. When the time comes, I will definitely smash him to death with money!"
Hearing Qian Duobao's words, Qin Haoxuan pursed his lips and said, "He is my opponent."
"I know, but I just want to share your burden, brother."
Qian Duobao said coquettishly to Qin Haoxuan, "After all, I will be your virtuous wife in the future."
Hearing this, Qin Haoxuan's mouth twitched violently. He said to Qian Duobao, "Qian Duobao, don't talk nonsense. You are the legitimate daughter of the Qian Family. You should pay attention to your words and actions."
While speaking, Qin Haoxuan secretly glanced at Ye Qingning. After noticing that Ye Qingning didn't have any special reaction to this, he didn't know if he should be happy or disappointed.
"I know, brother." Qian Duobao said to Qin Haoxuan with some grievance, "I will listen to you."
Qin Haoxuan had a headache. He really didn't understand what the Qian Family was doing. Since they had already pushed Jiang Wudi up, wouldn't it be better for them to let Jiang Wudi finish what he started?
Halfway through, they actually replaced Qian Duobao. Wasn't this torture?
Drizzt and Yu Na walked behind Qin Haoxuan. When they heard the conversation between Qin Haoxuan and Qian Duobao, they couldn't help but laugh.
Although Qian Duobao had publicly confessed to Qin Haoxuan in front of the media, they didn't expect Qian Duobao to be so infatuated. She didn't have the demeanor that the legitimate daughter of the Qian Family should have. Compared to Ye Qingning, she was much worse.
Moreover, Qian Duobao's strength was still a mystery. No one knew whether Qian Duobao was strong or weak. However, this wasn't that important. After all, they had Qin Haoxuan and Ye Qingning. There was basically no possibility of losing.
"Big brother, let me fight in the first round."
Qian Duobao said to Qin Haoxuan, "I have been bored at home during this period of time. I want to fight in the arena to exercise my limbs. What do you think?"
Qin Haoxuan originally didn't intend to let Qian Duobao fight. However, he was really annoyed by Qian Duobao at this time. Therefore, he simply agreed.
"Okay, if you are willing to fight, go ahead."
"Oh yeah, thank you, brother. I know that you love me the most."
Qin Haoxuan, "…"
