Chapter 94 Showy but Impractical
Next, the two hosts introduced everyone's information one by one. After all, this was basic information that could be easily obtained by collecting data, so this information was intended for the ordinary people present.
"..."
Of the ten members of the Magic Martial Arts team, seven are at the peak of the first rank, three are at the high level of the first rank, and the rest are close to the peak of the first rank.
With Mowu's departure, Jingwu took the stage next.
The captain of Jingwu is Han Xu, who was the runner-up in last year's martial arts exam. If Lu Hao hadn't been there, Han Xu would definitely have been the top scorer, since Lu Hao is just too outstanding.
Jingwu's overall strength seems to be stronger than Mowu's, after all, all ten of Jingwu's participating members are at the peak of the first rank.
……
Of course, having seen so many top-tier members, the audience below the stage didn't care much.
It wasn't until members of the Wuhan University Alliance took the stage that another uproar ensued.
"Sun Mingyu, captain of the Martial Arts Alliance, comes from the Martial Arts University of Northern Xinjiang, and is a second-rank, first-stage martial artist!"
"Our key player, Chen Jiasheng, comes from Donglin Martial Arts University and is a second-rank, first-dan!"
The appearance of two second-rank experts shocked the audience, after all, second-rank and first-rank are two different levels.
However, someone like Lu Hao, who had a deep understanding of martial arts, knew that this was just a trick by the Martial Arts Alliance.
After all, those who have broken through to the second rank are at a higher level, but their combat power is definitely not comparable to that of the two great masters in a battle.
……
Second floor of the gymnasium.
Many grandmasters and powerful figures were present.
At that moment, someone suddenly laughed and said, "The Martial Arts Alliance's tricks are meaningless."
Someone said indifferently, "Whether it's meaningful or not, we'll know when the time comes."
"Hehe, now they're attracting a lot of attention, but when it comes to the two second-rank martial artists, they're easily defeated by a first-rank martial artist."
Hehe, that's when you'll learn what it means to be praised too high and then fall hard!
Everyone present was shrewd enough to guess what the Wuhan University Alliance was up to.
It's meant to grab attention!
The Martial Arts Alliance is very strong and powerful. Two second-rank martial artists, are they powerful?
None of the schools like Jingwu or the Eight Schools Alliance have it, only the Wuda Alliance has it. What does this mean?
The Wuhan University Alliance has many talented individuals and abundant resources.
But the people present weren't stupid; some even scoffed at it.
Are two martial artists at the initial stage of the second rank truly invincible once they reach the second rank?
On the Magic Martial Arts and Beijing Martial Arts sides, perhaps any one of their main team members could easily defeat these two second-rank fighters. That would be truly embarrassing.
The people from the Wuhan University Alliance didn't seem to care, and said with a faint smile, "Just wait and see."
"We'll have to wait and see. I'd really like to see what it feels like for two second-rank cultivators to be defeated in the first round."
The other non-Wu Da experts remained silent, looking like they were enjoying watching the show.
The Grandmasters on the Magic Martial Arts side were even less concerned, since losing this time wouldn't cost them anything, and winning would bring double the rewards.
Therefore, many masters looked at Lu Hao with admiration, after all, it was because Lu Hao exceeded the standard that the Ministry of Education had to make compensation.
After the participants from each team were introduced, the host asked the team captains to come up and draw lots. The first match would be tomorrow morning.
As a grandmaster on stage conducted the lottery, many audience members below held their breath.
They were very nervous, after all, many of the participating students were their children, relatives, and friends.
Meanwhile, Lu Hao heard Fang Yuan beside him whispering a prayer: "Please don't let it be the Martial Arts University Alliance, please don't let it be the Martial Arts University Alliance..."
Lu Hao couldn't help but chuckle. After all, the best-case scenario for Magic Martial Arts right now is to face the Martial Arts Alliance first, since Beijing Martial Arts Academy is no pushover.
The Eight Schools Alliance is alright, but the Wuhan University Alliance, which seems to be the strongest on the surface, is actually the weakest.
Although the Martial Arts Alliance produced two Rank 2 cultivators, how long would it take them to reach Rank 2?
Do you have time to practice combat tactics?
Do you have time to carry out the task?
Jingwu and Mowu have so many geniuses, it's not that no one can reach the second rank, there are plenty of them, but how many choose to break through now?
Therefore, those two second-rank martial artists only seemed terrifying to ordinary people.
The participating teams might actually be hoping to encounter this team, after all, the idea of a first-rank player defeating a second-rank player sounds like a lot of interesting things to talk about.
While Fang Yuan was praying below the stage, Fang Ping on the stage was chanting, "Wuhan University Alliance, Wuhan University Alliance!"
Ultimately, Magic Martial Arts University was drawn against the Eight Schools Alliance, while Beijing Martial Arts University was drawn against the Martial Arts University Alliance.
Fang Ping looked disappointed. He had to give up this chance to show off to Jing Wu. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, that was a challenge beyond his level, which was too amazing!
From the introduction of the players, with each of the 40 players being introduced one by one, to the drawing of lots for the matches, it took nearly two hours in total.
Finally, the host delivered a closing speech, bringing the opening ceremony to a close.
……
After that, Lu Hao left. He'd only come to soak up the atmosphere and gather inspiration for his speech; as a speaker for the Magic Martial Arts Academy, he couldn't afford to embarrass himself.
If he really makes a fool of himself, Huang Jing might hang him up and whip him, and Lü Fengrou probably wouldn't beg for mercy, so this is something we still need to be careful about.
A few minutes later.
The Western restaurant at the entrance of Magic Martial Arts University.
Fang Yuan looked at Fang Ping with curiosity for a while before saying, "Brother, how did you become the captain?"
"I've been a martial artist for four or five months now. Is it strange that I've reached the peak of the first rank?"
Fang Ping chuckled and said, "I'm a martial artist who has undergone three rounds of bone tempering, so it's not surprising that I'm a bit fast."
"The rewards in Magic Martial Arts have been generous lately; with a little bit of resources, you can easily reach the peak of the first rank."
"Then why are you the captain...?"
"Nonsense, I'm the best, of course I'm the captain. Alright, stop asking these useless questions."
Fang Yuan suddenly remembered something and asked with some worry, "Brother, is it dangerous?"
"It's alright, it's just an exchange match, not a life-or-death battle. Besides, your brother is very strong. No one in this competition is my match, so don't worry."
"Then I'll call my parents..."
"No, let's talk about it after the match. Mom and Dad don't use the internet anyway, so don't tell them now."
Fang Yuan nodded vaguely, without giving it much thought.
"By the way, bro, I ran into one of your classmates backstage today. He was bragging about how he's too good to be on stage. I think he just wants to get close to you through me."
"...Tell me in detail what this person you met looks like." Fang Ping thought to himself, could it be that he met Lu Hao? Is it just such a coincidence?
As Fang Yuan described the person she met, Fang Ping was speechless. It really was Lu Hao, who had actually come to watch their competition from the audience. He wondered what level of cultivation Lu Hao had reached.
"Ahem, the person you met is indeed my classmate, his name is Lu Hao, and what he said is correct."
Fang Ping said somewhat awkwardly, after all, he couldn't lie to Fang Yuan, otherwise if Fang Yuan told Lu Hao again, the truth would be exposed.
"Huh? Is what he said true? Then is he much stronger than you? That makes sense, since he said he was too strong, which is why he wasn't on stage."
Fang Ping listened with a dark expression as Fang Yuan praised Lu Hao, feeling that this younger sister was no longer a good option.
