They Ran into Canghui Right at the Start

"Then what is the third reason?" the emcee asked, looking at Dugu Bo.

"The third reason is naturally because of Lu Yuan, the captain of the Heavenly Star Academy Team, who was formerly Imperial Dragon. To be honest, in my life, I have never seen a genius like him. No matter how dazzling the prodigies are, they all pale in comparison to him."

"I am certain that with him here, the champion of this year's Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament will definitely belong to the Heavenly Star Academy," Dugu Bo said decisively.

Seeing the look on Dugu Bo's face, so full of confidence that the Heavenly Star Academy Team could win the championship, many viewers couldn't help but click their tongues. Was he being too optimistic about the Heavenly Star Academy Team?

In addition, Ning Fengzhi had just said that he was optimistic about the Heavenly Star Academy Team. In an instant, Lu Yuan and his group became the most powerful enemy in the hearts of all the teams present, without exception.

With a Titled Douluo and an elder of the super power Dragon King Hall, and the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, who would dare to underestimate the team personally favored by these two?

It's easy to imagine that in the future, many academies will come to watch every battle that Lu Yuan and his group fight, just to assess their strength.

After assessing their strength, they will surely come up with many strategies to counter them.

This significantly increased the difficulty of the competition.

Although, in reality, Lu Yuan might not have cared that much.

However, Dugu Bo's praise of him on the podium made him a little embarrassed, even though what Dugu Bo said was indeed the truth.

"Aren't you happy that Senior Dugu praised you so much?" Zhu Zhuqing's voice rang in Lu Yuan's ears from behind.

"What's there to be happy about? Isn't this the truth? What's there to be happy about?" Hearing this, Lu Yuan tilted his head slightly and said calmly.

"Pah, what a thick-skinned man." Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of scorn. This man really had a thick skin.

Senior Dugu dared to praise him, and he actually dared to accept it, showing no humility whatsoever.

"Little kitty, what are you saying? Hmm?" Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's soft voice, Lu Yuan couldn't help but move his gaze, looking her over with a strange smile on Zhu Zhuqing lips.

"Don't do anything reckless, there are so many people here." Seeing Lu Yuan's unbridled gaze, Zhu Zhuqing quickly crossed her arms over her chest, biting her red lips tightly, and said softly.

"Heh!" Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's cautious appearance, Lu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle softly. This little kitten is really interesting. What can he do in front of everyone?

She actually took it seriously.

Seeing the teasing look on Lu Yuan's face, Zhu Zhuqing immediately realized what was going on and glared at Lu Yuan with a mixture of shame and anger.

It's all that lecher's fault. He's bullied me so much that it's become a conditioned reflex.

"Hehe." Lu Yuan smiled faintly, rubbed Zhu Zhuqing's head, and then turned back.

There are quite a few people staring at him right now.

It's all Dugu Bo's fault for being so careless with his words; he's now successfully and thoroughly captured everyone's attention.

Originally, many academies didn't recognize him, but after Dugu Bo said that, he became completely famous, and Heavenly Star Academy also became completely famous.

This old man knows how to have fun.

After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he winked at Lu Yuan, and his old face sent a chill down Lu Yuan's spine.

If it were a pretty young woman winking at him, she would naturally be incredibly charming, but this old man, Dugu Bo, was even winking and flirting. Lu Yuan could only feel one word: seductive.

That is—vomit!

It's really a bit disgusting.

Fortunately, after saying a few words, Dugu Bo returned to the VIP area, and his return temporarily calmed the previously restless atmosphere in the square.

Of course, his words are still firmly remembered by everyone.

"Ahem! Thank you Poison Douluo, for your wonderful speech, and thank you to the Dragon King Hall for providing the prizes for this competition. Now we will proceed to the official stage of today's preliminary rounds. Please welcome Platinum Bishop Salas the Heaven Dou Spirit Saint Hall to draw lots for the first round of the preliminary rounds."

After the emcee's voice rang out, Salas slowly walked to the emcee's side and began drawing lots.

The emcee will announce the draw each time a number is drawn.

"In the first round of the qualifiers, Auckland Academy will face Purple Star Academy."

"In the second round of the qualifiers, Thunder Academy will face off against the Blazing Radiance Academy."

"My idol, which academy do you hope to be drawn against in the first preliminary round?" The list of candidates for the preliminary round was being announced above, and below, Shui Yue'er looked at Lu Yuan, her clear voice ringing out.

"I don't care, I'm fine with whoever I draw." Lu Yuan shrugged, looking at Shui Yue'er's lovely face, and asked, "And you, who do you hope to draw?"

"Hehe, we just hope we don't run into you guys, our idols. Of course, it would be even better if we didn't run into any of the other stronger teams," Shui Yue'er giggled.

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er, who was standing in front of Shui Yue'er, nodded. Everyone wants to make the first match as easy as possible.

"Then I wish you good luck," Lu Yuan said with a faint smile.

I turned around, and the drawing of lots was still going on.

"In the first round of the qualifiers, Godwind Academy will face off against the Plant Academy."

"In the first round of the preliminary rounds, Skywater Academy will face off against the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

""

"Hey! Your opponents are the Heaven Dou Second Team. You're pretty lucky. The Heaven Dou Second Team is just a bunch of weaklings. Looks like you can get off to a good start."

Upon hearing about the Skywater Academy's opponents, Lu Yuan couldn't help but look at the Shui Bing'er sisters beside him and said with a light laugh.

"Hehe, we are indeed lucky, but I believe the male god will also be very lucky." Shui Yue'er chuckled and said softly.

"Then I'll take your kind words." Lu Yuan smiled slightly, his gaze returning to the direction of the podium.

At that moment, Salas drew two more lots.

"First round of the qualifiers: Heavenly Star Academy vs. Canghui Academy." The emcee's voice rang out again as he took the draw from Salas.

"Canghui Academy?" Upon hearing the emcee's voice, Lu Yuan was taken aback. Their first opponent was actually Canghui Academy.

It's quite a coincidence, to say the least.

However, seeing the subtle, overtly friendly glances Salas cast from the podium, Lu Yuan felt reassured. He thought to himself, "I knew it! What a coincidence! It was all arranged by this old man."

However, he did not object to this arrangement.

Because Lu Yuan didn't like Canghui Academy either.

"It seems their team leader, Shi Nian, has an Illusion Skull. Should we get it? This skull would be perfect for Rongrong. Besides, Shi Nian doesn't seem to be a good person. He's hunted down quite a few young geniuses. In the original story, he even tried to hunt down Tang San, but he was killed instead."

Lu Yuan thought to himself.
