Gu Yuena's Overwhelming Presence! The Heavenly Sea Grand Competition!

The following day, Heavenly Sea Stadium.

The place was packed with people, every seat was taken.

The stands were packed with people, surging like a tide.

Cheers, shouts, and whistles blended into a deafening roar that surged from every corner of the stadium.

A giant Soul Guidance Screen floated in the air, playing a promotional video for the Heavenly Sea Grand Competition in a loop.

Contestants from various academies are entering the venue, and the media's soul-guided cameras are aimed at the competition area from all angles.

Staff members moved through the crowd, guiding participants and spectators into the venue in an orderly manner.

Bai Yuan stood at the entrance, looking up at the huge oval building.

Heavenly Sea Stadium, the most important sports venue in Skysea City, can accommodate 100,000 spectators.

It is a top-tier arena built by the Skysea Alliance at great expense.

He was awestruck by its scale the first time he came here, and he was just as awestruck the second time.

Skysea City is rich, and that's no joke.

Gu Yuena stood beside him, looking around curiously.

She had seen the vastness of the Star Dou Forest and the prosperity of human cities, but this was the first time she had experienced a sporting event with 100,000 participants.

Those flags, those shouts, those crowds surging in from all directions—all were there to watch a game.

Humans are really interesting; they'd rather watch others fight.

People are willing to travel thousands of miles from every corner of the mainland, spend a lot of money to buy tickets, squeeze into the sweltering stands, and shout at the top of their lungs.

Her gaze swept across the stands, taking in faces of all ages.

But everyone's face bore the same anticipation and excitement.

Gu Yuena withdrew her gaze.

If only her Soul Beast subjects were sitting here.

Those Soul Beast that were hunted, domesticated, and driven into the depths of the Star Dou Forest by humans also possess intelligence, emotions, and should have their own civilization.

They shouldn't have to hide in the forest forever, barely surviving.

They should also have the opportunity to sit here, watch a game, cheer for the players, and support the team they're supporting.

What a pity.

It's not the right time yet, but she can wait.

She shouldn't be thinking about those things. Today is a competition, not a day for wallowing in self-pity.

A Ruheng walked on the other side of Bai Yuan.

His robust physique resembled a moving small mountain.

He ignored the curious stares around him and strode forward.

There was only one thought in his mind.

When are we going to fight?!

I want to eat something!

The entrance passage to Heavenly Sea Stadium was teeming with people.

Teams from various colleges are entering the venue in an orderly manner under the guidance of staff.

Bai Yuan entered the inner area, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Big Brother Bai!"

Tang Wulin squeezed through the crowd, his eyes filled with surprise.

Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan followed behind him, both of them looking surprised.

"Big Brother Bai, you're here too!"

Tang Wulin ran up to Bai Yuan, panting and sweating.

His gaze drifted uncontrollably to the silver-white figure beside Bai Yuan, his voice softening and becoming somewhat unnatural.

"Sister Gu Yue, you're here too."

Gu Yuena glanced at him, expressionless, and simply nodded slightly.

Tang Wulin's face flushed slightly, and the corners of his mouth curved into a smile, as if he wanted to say something.

Xie Xie walked up from behind, waved his hand in front of him, and lowered his voice.

"Cough cough, wake up."

Tang Wulin suddenly came to his senses, his face turning even redder.

He glared at Xie Xie, then stammered and turned to Bai Yuan.

"Big Brother Bai, what project are you involved in?"

"Fight against Shrek."

Tang Wulin's pupils dilated slightly.

Shrek?

He paused, his tone now tinged with admiration.

Wow, that's amazing!

Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan exchanged a glance.

Their East Sea Class Zero also came to participate in the Heavenly Sea Grand Competition, but this was their first time participating in a public event of this scale.

The cheers of 100,000 people in the stands were deafening, and the media's cameras were focused on the field from every angle.

Their legs were trembling when they walked out of the entrance passage.

They are certainly among the best of their peers, but the Heavenly Sea Alliance Grand Competition is divided into age groups, with the junior group consisting of participants aged ten to fifteen.

For every year that passes, Soul Master's cultivation level will vary greatly.

Class Zero of the East Sea is going to suffer a huge loss this time. Those opponents who are stuck at the age limit are very likely to be one level higher or even more than them.

Tang Wulin's gaze fell on Bai Yuan.

Big Brother Bai wasn't much older than him, yet he was fighting against the Shrek Academy's regular army.

Tang Wulin clenched his fists and sighed inwardly.

That's really amazing.

A Ruheng peeked out from behind Bai Yuan, his burly figure resembling a small mountain.

He saw Tang Wulin, grinned, and revealed a set of white teeth.

"Hey, young man, we meet again!"

Tang Wulin looked at A Ruheng's honest face.

He subconsciously touched his hand, which was still throbbing slightly, and his lips twitched.

Hello, Senior Brother.

Bai Yuan looked at Tang Wulin's hesitant expression and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Play well, don't embarrass Eastsea Academy."

Tang Wulin nodded vigorously.

"Um!"

He glanced at Gu Yuena again, Gu Yuena didn't look at him.

Purple eyes gazed at the distant arena.

Tang Wulin withdrew his gaze, his heart pounding like a drum.

Staff members urged from afar that it was time for Class Zero of the East Sea to enter.

Tang Wulin waved to Bai Yuan, then turned and ran back to his team.

Xie Xie followed behind him, glancing back at Gu Yuena and then at Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan watched Tang Wulin's retreating figure, then looked away and put his hands back in his pockets.

Keep it up, kid!

Go to Shrek!

It's time to give me some new benefits!

"Let's go, it's our turn."

Bai Yuan turned his head to look at Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena didn't look at him; her purple eyes calmly gazed at the distant arena, her voice soft.

"Um."

The three walked side by side toward the stadium.

Behind me, the East Sea Class Zero team was entering the field.

Tang Wulin walked at the front, his large, clear eyes gazing ahead with an even more determined look than before.

He must become stronger, strong enough to protect everyone he wants to protect.

Ahead, the Shrek Academy team is entering.

The dark green school uniforms caused a stir in the stands.

"Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!"

Shouts rose and fell. Bai Yuan looked at the blue figure.

Yu Yuanheng walked at the very front of the Shrek team, his steps steady and his eyes fixed straight ahead.

Behind him followed several boys and girls, all dressed in the same dark green school uniforms, their heads held high and chests puffed out.

Bai Yuan withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward.

Gu Yuena followed beside him, her eyes inadvertently sweeping towards the Shrek team.

The group of people were looking down at the other contestants with their chins held high.

Gu Yuena frowned slightly.

How arrogant!

How could anyone be even more arrogant than her?

She stopped in her tracks.

Bai Yuan sensed that the person beside him hadn't followed, so he turned around to look.

Gu Yuena raised her right hand and slowly extended her middle finger towards the Shrek team.

The movement was unhurried and graceful, like an invitation to dance.

But that long, slender finger, held upright, gleamed white in the sunlight.

Someone in the Shrek team noticed.

One of the boys' faces turned ashen instantly. He pointed at Gu Yuena, his voice trembling with anger.

"How dare you give Shrek the middle finger!"

You have insulted Shrek! Shrek's eternal glory is not to be desecrated!

Gu Yuena looked at him, expressionless, her lips slightly parted.

"Idiot."

The boy's face turned from ashen to a deep purple, and his mouth opened and closed repeatedly.

Several Shrek Academy students behind him were also filled with righteous indignation.

But they wanted to lash out, yet they didn't know where to begin.

This is the arena for the Heavenly Sea Grand Competition, watched by 100,000 eyes.

With the media reporters' soul-guided cameras pointed at them, if they rushed up and attacked, it would be Shrek that lost face.

Bai Yuan stood beside Gu Yuena, his lips twitching slightly.

This girl, there's more to this story?

A Ruheng scratched his head, looked at Gu Yuena, then at the Shrek group, and muttered to himself.

What did her gesture just now mean?

Bai Yuan glanced at him and remained silent for a moment.

"Senior Brother, you don't need to know."

Gu Yuena withdrew her finger, turned around and continued walking forward, her ponytail swinging gracefully behind her shoulder.

Bai Yuan followed, lowering his voice, his tone tinged with helplessness.

When did you learn this trick?

Gu Yuena didn't look at him.

"I learned it from you."
