The Center of Attention

The group continued forward and soon stepped out of the entrance passage and into the plaza.

The square is very large, with a diameter of over 150 meters, and looks very spacious.

Directly in front of the central area is the dais, and behind the dais is the VIP area where Ning Fengzhi and others had previously stayed.

Below the podium, the college teams that had already entered the venue had lined up in neat rows.

Each time someone joins a team, a dedicated emcee will introduce them.

"Next up is the Heavenly Star Academy Team. Heavenly Star Academy was originally called Blue Tyrant Academy, but it was renamed Heavenly Star Academy a year ago."

"The Heavenly Star Academy Team has nine contestants, and their captain is named Lu Yuan."

"You may not be familiar with the name Lu Yuan, but I think you are certainly familiar with the name Imperial Dragon. That's right, this Lu Yuan is the same Imperial Dragon who achieved a 30-game winning streak in cross-level battles four years ago in our Heaven Dou Grand Spirit Arena, setting a record of obtaining the Violet-Gold Spirit Badge in a month."

"Four years ago, Imperial Dragon was able to set such a dazzling record. So what kind of results can he and his teammates achieve in this year's Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament? We look forward to their performance."

Upon hearing the emcee's words, the audience below the stage immediately erupted in cheers. Some people might not know the name Lu Yuan, but in the Heaven Dou Grand Spirit Arena, the name Imperial Dragon was definitely very well-known.

After all, Lu Yuan had quite a few fans in the Heaven Dou Grand Spirit Arena back then. Although four years have passed, those fans still remember his name.

Moreover, many new people have come to know the name Imperial Dragon.

For no other reason than that the code name "Imperial Dragon" has been engraved on the record stone of the Heaven Dou Grand Spirit Arena.

A record of advancing from Iron Spirit Badge to Violet-Gold Spirit Badge in just one month.

Anyone who comes to watch the matches at the Heaven Dou Grand Spirit Arena will have the opportunity to see Imperial Dragon's name and records. As a result, it's impossible for his influence not to grow.

Just now, because four years had passed and Lu Yuan had changed a lot, many people didn't recognize him. But now that the emcee said that, many people immediately realized who he was.

The atmosphere immediately became lively.

"Imperial Dragon!"

"Imperial Dragon!"

"Imperial Dragon!"

Many of the old fans cheered wildly when they heard that Lu Yuan was Imperial Dragon, because no one knew better than them how dazzling this man's performance was back then. Even now, they still can't forget Lu Yuan's Jiujiu battles.

"Wow, this guy's got some serious popularity!" A young man wearing a mask exclaimed in surprise from a team whose members were all dressed in cyan uniforms.

"Feng Xiaotian, you're not envious, are you?" The young man had barely finished speaking when a man in a bright red team uniform asked with a smile not far away.

Judging from his appearance, he was none other than Huo Wushuang, the captain of the Blazing Fire Academy, who had met Lu Yuan not long ago.

"Who's envious? So what if he has a few more fans? I don't care about these things. I, Feng Xiaotian, am not such a superficial person." Feng Xiaotian immediately retorted after hearing Huo Wushuang's words.

"Hehe, so what if you're envious? You won't even admit it. I'm different. I dare to admit it. I really envy him. It's just a pity that I don't have his strength." Hearing this, Huo Wushuang chuckled and said.

"Tch, you can't reason with a rough guy like you." Feng Xiaotian curled his lips, then turned his gaze to Huo Wu standing behind Huo Wushuang, his eyes immediately flashing with a sharp light, "Sister Huo Wu, long time no see, you've become even more beautiful."

"Is that so?" Huo Wu glanced at Feng Xiaotian indifferently, her expression remaining completely unchanged.

"Of course, when I saw Huo Wu, I thought she was a fairy descended from heaven. She was so beautiful that I was almost dazzled," Feng Xiaotian said, his tone slightly ingratiating.

"Oh." Upon hearing this, Huo Wu gave a faint "oh," without showing any happy expression on her face despite Feng Xiaotian's praise.

"I heard that you made a battle agreement with Lu Yuan Huo Wu?" Feng Xiaotian didn't care about Huo Wu's calm expression at all, and instead asked with a light laugh.

"How did you know?" Huo Wu asked calmly.

"Hehe, I naturally have my own connections in this," Feng Xiaotian chuckled and said.

"Then who do you think will win in a fight between me and Lu Yuan?" Huo Wu turned her gaze to Feng Xiaotian, her eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

"Of course you'll win, Huo Wu! With the strength of your Blazing Fire Academy, Lu Yuan is bound to lose." Seeing Huo Wu's gaze turn towards him, Feng Xiaotian immediately smiled and flattered her.

"Really? But I don't even have as much confidence as you. I think the chances of losing are higher." Huo Wu said calmly, listening to Feng Xiaotian's words.

Not long ago, when she was feeling competitive, she did think she had a high chance of winning. But now that she's calmed down and thought about it, she's not so confident anymore. After all, Lu Yuan's strength back then was obvious to all. Of course, even so, Huo Wu wouldn't be afraid.

"Uh!" Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian was momentarily stunned, unsure of what to say. Had he accidentally flattered someone?

"Heh!" Seeing Feng Xiaotian's expression, Huo Wushuang immediately shook his head. This guy's feelings for his sister are quite deep, but it's a pity that his sister doesn't like this kind of thing.

For a simp to win over a goddess is an extremely difficult task.

Anyway, he didn't think highly of Feng Xiaotian.

Huo Wushuang turned his gaze to Lu Yuan, who was in the center of attention in the square yet remained calm and composed, and couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart, "A man should be like this."

In the square, Lu Yuan and his group continued to move forward.

Facing the fervent gazes of the crowd from all directions and listening to their frenzied shouts, Lu Yuan remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged.

Just like back then, in the Heaven Dou Grand Spirit Arena.

"Lu Yuan, you're so popular!" Seeing Lu Yuan shining like a star, Ning Rongrong's eyes were filled with undisguised admiration. This man was so dazzling that it made her heart pound.

How can he be so outstanding?

Hearing the admiration in Ning Rongrong's voice, Lu Yuan smiled faintly. He had seen this scene many times before and was already quite used to it.

However, this must be the first time for Ning Rongrong and the others.

Especially Wang Qiu'er, who had never seen such a scene before, had a flushed face and was full of excitement, looking at Lu Yuan with deep admiration.

My brother is amazing!

Wang Qiu'er thought to herself.

The third update this afternoon, plus the second update in the early morning, makes this a total of five updates today!
