At 7:30 p.m., the evening breeze was slightly cool.
At Tianhai No. 2 Middle School, everyone was studying in their classrooms during evening self-study.
In the Virtual Room, all fifty students from the Elite Class and martial arts teacher Zhang Cheng had arrived.
Ten Virtual Cabins, plus one newly installed cabin, made a total of eleven Virtual Cabins sitting quietly in the room.
A massive screen was projected in the center, displaying a small, empty, entirely white Arena in a style similar to ancient Rome.
Amid the chatter, Zhang Cheng folded his arms and swept his gaze across Li Zhou, Lin Qi, and the other ten before slowly speaking.
"The Exchange Tournament is about to begin. Once you log into the Red Realm, enter the Tianhai official website and find the link for the Martial Arts Exchange Tournament."
With that, he was the first to enter one of the brand-new Virtual Cabins.
The other ten each entered their own Virtual Cabins, Lin Qi included.
He logged into the Red Realm, searched for the Tianhai official website through the Panel in his Personal Space, found the Martial Arts Exchange Tournament link, and clicked it.
Whoosh!
The space around him shifted in an instant. Lin Qi was pulled away and teleported to another area.
When he regained his bearings and looked around, he found himself in the audience seats, with Jiang Tao seated beside him.
Ahead of him stood a circular white Arena resembling an ancient Roman coliseum.
"So this is the Martial Arts Exchange Tournament venue? I didn't expect it to support online connections." Jiang Tao looked around in surprise.
"Songbai Middle School's people are here!"
Zhu Yuqi suddenly spoke as she looked ahead.
Everyone looked over. Eleven figures appeared out of thin air in the audience seats across from them.
