1507 I Won’t Be Too Fierce! (2)
The eight dukedoms were watching the thousand martial warriors in the battle arena.
Aside from paying attention to their own talents, they were also keeping an eye on the outstanding talents, like Wang Teng and the Crown Prince.
…
Bang, bang, bang!
While everyone was raptly watching the competition—the battle arena suddenly shook and the sound of war drums boomed with violence.
Exhilirating!
Imposing!
It sounded as though countless martial warriors were striking those drums. The sudden deafening drumbeats resounded all the way to the clouds.
A majestic aura filled the sky for a long time!
Everyone was taken aback by this and turned serious. Their hearts started beating hard along with the sound of the drum beats; their blood started to churn in their bodies.
It felt like they were about to start a huge war in the middle of a grand battlefield.
What an unexpected scene!
Wang Teng slightly widened his eyes. His heartbeat was also affected by the war drums; he couldn’t get his pulse to slow down, even while trying desperately to.
There was something magical about the drumbeats!
“This is just a competition. Do they have to do that?” he complained, caught between laughter and tears.
The Second Prince and the others looked at him.
This guy is really bold, to actually dare ridicule the actions of the seven great academies. He wasn’t afraid of them stacking the deck against him…
The Crown Prince couldn’t help but glance at him too.
He also felt it was excessive, but that was after all the arrangement of the academies and a tradition in itself. It wasn’t good to speak out at that moment.
“Cough!” Wang Teng straightened up when he noticed that everyone was staring at him, and chose to act like he had never said anything.
Silence.
The avatars and names of the remaining thousand warriors appeared on the light sphere. It then began to change rapidly.
Everyone was shaken; they immediately paid attention to it.
The results were out!
Wang Teng versus Wade!!!
Gasp!
Everyone was stunned by the announcement on the light sphere. There was uproar.
“Wang Teng, it’s Wang Teng!”
“Wang Teng’s the first to battle!”
“How exciting! A popular contender for the championship is up right away!”
“Hahaha, we didn’t wait so many days in vain!”
“I’m excited. I don’t know if you guys are.”
“I’m fine!”
“Don’t get too excited.”
“Is this a coincidence, or is it really…”
“Is this a coincidence? The Seven Stellar Academies probably can’t wait any longer.”
“Why is no one paying attention to Wade?”
“Who’s Wade?”
“Wade: [○・`Д ́・○]”
…
Everyone was stunned when they saw Wang Teng be the first to battle.
“Interesting!”
But soon, they looked with interest at the flustered hero on screen.
Wang Teng was preparing to watch the competition in his seat, but felt a bit unnerved when he realized he had to go up and fight.
The chances of that happening were extremely small!
He topped five forbidden zones. It should have been quite difficult for him to be selected as one of the first contenders.
He now had some suspicions about the light sphere being tampered with in order to get him in the first match.
“Wang Teng, hurry up; your opponent is already waiting for you,” said the Second Prince, who couldn’t hide the smile on his face.
This guy is actually first. This is… too good!
