Fatal Shortcoming

In addition to the regular spectator stands, there are also special stands in the stadium.

The special stands are reserved for important figures.

For example, personnel in the Strategic Affairs Department, or cadres in the Jinge Legion.

As the largest Undercity in the North, the Jinge Legion is also the largest of all Underground City Legion.

Other corps generally only have three squads, or less than a hundred Mech Master.

However, the Jinge Legion has a total of nine squads and more than three hundred Mech Master, making it a formidable force.

At this moment, in the special stands, a man with white hair and white clothes, a pale face, and who coughed occasionally, gently covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled as he looked at the field below.

"This year's students are truly exceptionally talented. It's all thanks to the various universities that are continuously training young Mech Master; otherwise, we would have struggled to survive."

Sitting next to the white-haired man, another man occasionally took out a bottle of alcohol spray and sprayed it around. Upon hearing this, a strange glint flashed in his light purple eyes.

He opened his mouth and asked, "What, which kid have you taken a fancy to?"

Behind them, a man using binoculars to look down at the venue said, "Yin Feng, what you're saying will cause misunderstandings."

"Also, could you please stop spraying alcohol everywhere? It's not just Shaotang who can't stand it, I find the smell unbearable too."

These three people.

It was a big shot from the ' Strategic Affairs Department '.

The white-haired, frail man is Deputy Commander Bai Shaotang; the man with severe mysophobia is Tactical Minister Yin Feng; and the man holding binoculars is Technical Minister Chu Ning.

The three were of similar age and had been students at the same Academy, coming from Tiannan, Yujing, and Yingtian academies respectively.

After finishing his speech, Technical Director Chu Ning put down his binoculars and patted his Deputy Commander and friend on the shoulder. "Shao Tang, that third-year student from your alma mater this year is quite good; he's getting a lot of discussion among the Dragon Riders."

"I think Ye Wusheng will be able to come to our Strategic Affairs Department after the Grand Sports Meet. Your sister can mentor him then; he'll be useful very soon."

As soon Chu Ning finished speaking, he saw the Tactical Minister spray Bai Shaotang's shoulder twice with a spray bottle, and he almost rolled his eyes.

Bai Shaotang coughed lightly twice, covering his nose with a handkerchief, and chuckled, "I don't think the people here are up to the task. If we're going to recruit Dragon Riders, then it'll be up to Captain Beidou and the others to decide."

Sitting not far from the three, a man with bright orange hair, like a head of Blazing Flame, laughed heartily upon hearing this.

He said loudly.

"Commander Bai is joking."

"If even you say we can't judge people, then we're completely blind."

The technical director looked at the dragon rider who had been given the name ' Star of Courage ': "Captain Beidou, what do you think of Ye Wusheng?"

"Very good, but I prefer that kid."

Beidou pointed at He Hao, a third-year student at the Hundred Battles Academy: "I have a feeling we'll click!"

Tactical Minister Yin Feng, with light purple eyes, sprayed alcohol onto the fence in front of him and said, "A third-year student breaking through to the Advanced level, that's acceptable."

"Having participated in numerous real-world matches, his performance was considered acceptable."

"But among the eighteen universities, it wouldn't be considered top-tier."

"If I had to choose from among the students at the Hundred Battles Academy, I'd prefer that first-year student surnamed Luo."

At that moment, a disdainful voice rang out.

"That first-year student has potential, but he's only at the level of a top student at the Tiannan Academy, and not even the very best."

"Besides, that little brat has a fatal weakness."

Several pairs of eyes turned and landed on a handsome man dressed in gorgeous clothes.

She has long hair, almond-shaped eyes, and wears a silver hair accessory shaped like a clivia.

Tiangang Dragon Riders!

Star of Valor, Hu Xuanyi!

The red-haired dragon rider, Hokuto, turned around and asked, "What fatal weakness?"

Hu Xuanyi opened a paper fan, shielded his nose, and looked at his colleagues below with disdain.

"You don't even know this?"

"How have you survived this long, being so careless?"

"It's Red Poison, and it's a ' Secondary Infection '."

Do you think he can achieve the Mystic Mastery before the poison takes hold?

"That's why I say, no matter how outstanding he is, it's useless; he's a short-lived creature who won't live more than a few years."

Hu Xuanyi's last words were tinged with a hint of melancholy.

At this moment, the venue finally quieted down, and the host announced that the electronic lottery would begin.

The matching process is randomized by computer, ensuring fairness and impartiality.

Soon, the results were displayed on the big screen.

The first school to be randomly selected by the computer was ' Canghe Academy ', and their opponent was ' Changan Academy ' from Changping City.

Next up was Tiannan Academy, who faced off against the Yingtian Academy, whose strength was comparable.

One by one, the Academy appeared on the big screen.

At this moment, the name ' Hundred Battles Academy ' finally appeared.

Although He Hao didn't have to participate in the competition, he still couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Please, please don't let it be ' Yujing Academy 'Yujing Academy."

When the big screen displayed that ' Hundred Battles Academy's' opponent was ' Yishui Academy ', He Hao shouted.

"Very good!"

"It's not ' Yujing Academy '!"

His shout drew the attention of many people, especially the students of ' Yishui Academy '.

They were dissatisfied and groaned softly.

"What's that gorilla so happy about? Does it think we're weak?"

"Oh, classmates, we've been underestimated! What do you suggest we do?"

A hostile gaze immediately turned towards them, scrutinizing the second-year and first-year students of the Hundred Battles Academy.

Su Jiu, standing to the side, covered her forehead, shook her head at He Hao, and said, "That's so embarrassing."

Why are you so agitated?

"Yishui Academy is from Jinge City. Although they are not as famous as the Three Academies of Tiannan, they are still full of talented people."

"Facing them won't be much easier either."

He Hao disagreed, turned around, and looked at his juniors. "Don't listen to Su Jiu."

"As long as it's not Tiannan Third Hospital, your chances are very high."

"It's just a mere 'Yi River,' take it or leave it, if you don't want to become spectators!"

Special stands.

A burst of laughter erupted.

Hu Xuanyi fanned himself, looking at the red-haired dragon rider in the seat below with a look of disdain.

Star of Courage Beidou laughed heartily, "I'm growing to like that third-year student from the Hundred Battles Academy more and more. Looking at him is like looking at myself in my student days."

Hu Xuanyi nodded repeatedly. "That's true."

"You guys are all muscle-bound types. If he survives the ' Desperate Battlefield,' you can recruit him. Your team just loves to go all out anyway."

Beidou touched his broad chin, seemingly deep in thought.

After the computer-generated draw concluded, the host announced, "The opening match between the Canghe Academy and Changan Academy will take place promptly at 9:00 AM tomorrow."

"The specific match times for the other Academy will be communicated to you later."

"Now, let's bid farewell to the third-year students from the eighteen schools. They will be heading to the ' Desperate Battlefield ' to experience the baptism of blood and fire!"

"Here, let us sincerely wish them great success on the ' Desperate Battlefield '!"

Clap clap clap!

Immediately, thunderous applause erupted in the hall, the sound carrying far and wide.
