The Phoenix Star Battle Festival Begins

Today, the city situated on the lake has gained a vitality that it never had before.

No matter where you are, there are people heading towards the central part of the city, gradually flowing in several directions.

At the ends of these directions lie stages.

The importance of the stage to this city is self-evident.

Therefore, the number of stages in the Battle City can be said to be very large.

Among these stages, there are three large-scale stages, seven medium-scale stages, and countless small-scale outdoor stages, which can be described as a unique feature of the Battle City.

However, among the crowds surging towards the stages, the largest flow was heading in a direction outside these categories.

The flow of people ended at an extremely magnificent egg-shaped building.

The size of this building far surpasses that of the other stages, even the three largest stages cannot compare.

Its name is Sirius Dome, and it is said to be the largest main stage in the Asterisk City of Warring Academies.

Regardless of the edition of the Star Wars Festival, the championship battle is always held here.

Therefore, this place can accommodate a full 100,000 people.

Today's "Phoenix Star Martial Festival" opening ceremony is being held inside this Sirius Dome.

At this moment, the audience seats inside the Sirius Dome were already packed with people.

Meanwhile, on the huge stage in the center, the opening ceremony was underway.

Students from all the schools, dressed in uniform, lined up neatly as contestants, and were holding the opening ceremony in full view of everyone.

However, the opening ceremony did not require participants to be present.

Therefore, the number of participants varies depending on the school's ethos.

For example, all the participants from the St. Galladovan Academy, a school known for its upright atmosphere, were present. Their formations were so neat that they resembled a regular army. Every student had a serious expression on their face, and combined with their white uniforms, they looked almost like knights.

For example, the participants from the violent Leovuf Black Academy were seriously absent, and their formation was somewhat sloppy. Regardless of their performance, their attire alone made them look like delinquents, which was in stark contrast to the students of the St. Galladovan Academy.

Fang Li also did not attend the opening ceremony.

In the athletes' private lounge, Cecily was lying on the sofa and yawning, while Fang Li was watching the opening ceremony through a spatial window.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The cheers of the audience rose and fell, creating waves of sound that surged throughout the Sirius Dome, stirring the heart with excitement.

The lively Matoba and the level of enthusiasm had somewhat exceeded the scale of a Sylvia concert.

In this situation, right in the center of the stage, a middle-aged man walked onto the stage accompanied by staff members, waving to the audience around him with a handsome smile on his face.

Fang Li narrowed his eyes as he looked at the burly man.

"Is he Matthias Mesa?"

—Matthias Mesa.

The chairman of the Star Wars Festival Operations Committee and executive producer, he is the highest person in charge of the Star Wars Festival's operation, entrusted with full authority by the Integrated Enterprise Conglomerate. Anyone who knows anything about the Star Wars Festival would definitely recognize him.

After all, the Star Wars Festival has always been planned by a committee centered around this person. His status is so high that he can even be considered a regular executive of the Integrated Enterprise Conglomerate, much higher than executive candidates like Koichiro Ditou.

In addition, this person was once the champion of the "Phoenix Star Martial Festival". He had extremely strong strength during his student days. Although he is wearing a suit now, you can still vaguely feel the aura contained in his physique.

"If I were there, I wonder if I could sense the scale of the Star Pulse Energy?"

Fang Li stood up as if deep in thought.

At this point, Matthias had already begun his speech.

"I am Matthias Mesa, the chairman of the Star Wars Festival Operations Committee. Hello, everyone and all the contestants."

An ordinary greeting, under the chairman's voice, became full of charm.

From the surrounding stands, thunderous applause and cheers erupted once again.

Under these circumstances, Matthias began to give a passionate speech.

But at this point, Fang Li had already closed the spatial window.

Fang Li's reason for watching the opening ceremony was simply to see what kind of person Matthias, the chairman of the Star Wars Festival's operations committee, really was.

Beside her, Cecily finally sat up from the sofa. Her languid appearance combined with her mature figure gave her an indescribable allure.

"How did it go, Junior Brother?" Cecily asked, yawning. "Did you finish what you wanted to do?"

"It's done." Fang Li smiled at Cecily and said, "Sorry, senior sister, for making you come with me to do such a boring thing."

"It's alright, it's alright." Cecily waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "Although it is indeed very boring, since we are partners, it is only natural to act together."

"Really?" Fang Li nodded and asked, "By the way, Senior Sister, what is Master doing right now?"

"They're probably very interested and waiting to watch the competition, right?" Cecily shrugged and said, "After all, Master loves these kinds of events the most."

"That's true." Fang Li touched the Pure Star Imperial Armament Activation Body at his waist, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Then, Senior Sister, you can rest here for a while, I'll go out for a stroll."

"Go ahead, go ahead." Cecily lay down and began to snore.

Seeing this, Fang Li shook his head with a wry smile and then left the lounge.

Because the opening ceremony was still ongoing, there weren't many people in the players' area of Sirius Dome.

Fang Li was walking down one of the corridors, intending to head towards the vending machine to buy some drinks to quench his thirst, when two people walked towards him.

They were two rather peculiar girls.

He had brown skin, narrow eyes, and a meticulously closed mouth, giving him a somewhat aloof impression.

One of them had a rather expressive face, wearing a white robe over his uniform that made him look like a research expert, and appeared somewhat unrestrained.

The two girls walked towards this place, talking as they went.

Fang Li didn't pay much attention to the two girls.

Therefore, Fang Li simply passed by the two of them somewhat casually.

"Um?"

However, at that moment, the girl in the white robe suddenly let out a surprised sound, followed by a joyful exclamation.

"Oh, isn't this the guy from the Boundary Dragon Sect?"
