The Selection Ends, the Journey Begins

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was the afternoon of the second day, and the selection competition came to an end.

Ultimately, based on the cumulative rankings, the top nine were determined, and as expected, Ye Bingxue firmly held the top spot, becoming the number one winner in this national selection competition!

Hua Qiang's figure slowly appeared in the void.

When the trainees saw Hua Qiang standing in the air, their pupils shrank and their faces changed drastically.

Previously, I had been secretly resentful and dissatisfied with Hua Qiang being pre-selected for the position, but now, all my grudges have vanished.

The opponent is at least a Martial Emperor Rank being. If we really enter this ruin with them to compete on the platform and participate in the selection, it would be a pure dimensional reduction attack!

The vast majority of these people are at the Martial Ancestor Realm. What can they compare to?

Even those few Martial King had lost all desire to compete with each other.

In Hua Qiang's eyes, they are nothing but a big grasshopper.

You must understand, everyone below the Martial Emperor Realm is but an ant!

The next moment, they were filled with anticipation for Hua Qiang, as the captain, to lead their team to participate in the World University Martial Arts Alliance Competition.

They were worried that there were experts in other countries' teams, and that their group was no match for them. They were also very anxious and uncertain about this competition.

But now that we have experts in our own team, what's there to be afraid of?

The chairman of the selection Organizing Committee is a highly respected leader from an important high-level department.

Entrusted by the Council of Elders, he came personally to preside over this extraordinary match.

After fierce competition, the rankings have finally been determined.

Standing on the high platform, the person in charge delivered a passionate and eloquent congratulatory speech.

Those words were like a warm current flowing into the hearts of every participant, inspiring them to continue to forge ahead.

Following this, a solemn award ceremony was held, where the top ten contestants of this selection competition were awarded honorary medals and generous prize money.

Other participants also received corresponding rewards to varying degrees, and everyone's face was filled with joy and pride.

Next, the person in charge personally took Hua Qiang and his group to a luxurious Five-star hotel in the Capital Base and thoughtfully arranged for them to rest.

They solemnly declared that Heavenly Empress, they would depart for the Alliance Tournament venue to participate in this highly anticipated event.

Hua Qiang was with Ye Bingxue, and behind them followed a lively and adorable "little tail" named Long Mo'er.

They spent two days exploring the Capital Base to their heart's content.

As the host, Long Mo'er naturally spared no effort in taking them to visit those famous scenic spots.

They strolled along the ancient streets, feeling the charm of history; wandered in the beautiful park, breathing in the fresh air.

Long Mo'er also enthusiastically took the two of them to try all the local delicacies. The delicious food satisfied their appetites, and they praised it highly.

During this time, the highly respected Third Elder personally received Hua Qiang.

Hua Qiang also learned that the game behind this match was a crucial battle, and that this was the heavy responsibility he was shouldering.

However, he felt no psychological pressure. He did not believe that anyone could be his opponent in this competition, or that anyone could take the first place away from him.

He also solemnly promised the Third Elder that he would lead the China team to win this year's championship.

To contribute to the nation's struggle for interests.

Heavenly Empress, on an open space outside the north gate of the Capital Base, a dark-colored airship sat quietly.

The Third Elder, led by the Third Elder, gave earnest instructions to the ten young men who were about to embark on the journey to win glory for the country.

Ten minutes later, Hua Qiang and the others bid farewell to everyone and entered the airship one by one. Lu Guangyao, as the overall person in charge of this mission, led the logistics team and also stepped into the airship.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the airship started up, slowly ascended into the air, and then gradually accelerated, turning into a black streak of light and disappearing into the distant horizon.

Inside the airship, rows of high-end, exquisite massage chairs were arranged in a row. The team members who were going to compete lay on the chairs, closed their eyes, and enjoyed the massage service. Their expressions were very comfortable.

Lu Guangyao and Hua Qiang sat quietly on a comfortable sofa.

They stared at each other, remaining silent for a long time. Time seemed to stand still, with only the faint rumble of the airship echoing in their ears.

In the end, it was Lu Guangyao who broke the silence first.

He leaned forward slightly, looked at Hua Qiang with a solemn expression, and slowly said, "Hua Qiang, I'm counting on you this time."

"I can't contribute on the field, I can only provide logistical support from the rear."

"Don't worry, I will do my best in this regard to ensure you have no worries and are completely satisfied."

Hua Qiang nodded slightly, understanding that the old man's role in coming with the team was indeed limited to this.

When it comes to negotiations with the authorities, it is also up to him to handle the matter.

Hua Qiang was well aware that as the captain of this team, he bore a great responsibility: to win honor for the country and strive to win first place.

As for other matters, he had no time to attend to them, nor did he bother to do them.

Heavenly Empress, the airship emerged from the clouds and finally arrived above a vast and boundless ocean.

From high above, the ocean resembles a giant sapphire, shimmering with a mysterious and captivating light under the sunlight.

To the east of the ocean, on a piece of land, countless colorful tents are scattered in a well-organized manner, like blooming flowers.

The tents come in all shapes and sizes, including round ones, square ones, and even playful triangular ones.

Some figures busily moved in and out between the tents, their laughter and shouts mingling together, creating a lively atmosphere.

The pilot skillfully maneuvered the airship, slowly descending towards this vibrant area.

As the airship drew closer, the scene on the ground became increasingly clear.

Finally, the airship landed steadily on an open field.

Lu Guangyao, leading Hua Qiang and his men, stepped out of the airship with steady steps.

At this moment, two tall men, one in black and one in white, walked towards us, followed by some attendants.

The old man was wearing a brown suit, and his golden hair shone brightly in the sunlight.

Upon seeing Lu Guangyao, he opened his arms wide and laughed heartily, "Minister Lu, welcome!"

"You've really kept us waiting!"

"Do you know that this is the last team? We've been waiting for you in this competition."

The old man's words seemed to have a hidden meaning; his tone, though seemingly warm, carried a hint of provocation.

Lu Guangyao frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "This old man's words have a hidden meaning, and there's something sinister about them."

He scanned the elderly man and the black man back and forth, trying to glean more information from their expressions.

Hua Qiang's lips curled slightly. This old man still harbored such thoughts, but what was the matter?

Before absolute power, all schemes and tricks can be shattered with a flick of the finger!
