"Tang Haoran, the Clear Sky Sect's strongest outside Shrek Academy. A rank eighty-two Soul Douluo," Meng Hongchen said softly.
"..."
Xu Cheng nodded slightly.
Without saying anything, he shifted his gaze toward Xu Tianzhen, who came skipping toward him like a little deer, and smiled again.
"Not bad. You're starting to resemble me a little."
"Hmph, you're so full of yourself, Brother!"
Xu Tianzhen planted both hands on her hips and tossed her ponytail, looking proud and petulant.
"Hahaha..."
Behind her, several Mingdu Soul Guidance Academy disciples watched enviously as the handsome young man stroked the girl's hair as though petting a cat. He stood straight, dressed simply rather than lavishly, yet gave off an immensely weighty sense of pressure.
Invisible, yet suffocating.
Countless gazes settled on him, but he showed not the slightest discomfort.
No one could have imagined that the Sun Moon Empire's entirely new face today had been fashioned by his hand alone...
He was outrageously young.
Yet Xu Tianzhen, their captain, seemed completely unaffected.
"They really are brother and sister..."
Someone sighed softly.
"Second match: Sun Moon Imperial Academy versus Shrek Academy!"
"Who's going out?" Meng Hongchen asked with a grin.
"A team match plus individual elimination matches. They'll definitely play every trump card they have, so we shouldn't get careless either. Bei Bei isn't simple. We'll need at least one or two main-team members to keep him firmly suppressed. Xiaotian can hold the fort."
Xu Cheng spoke after a moment's thought.
"Brother, aren't you taking the field?" Nana asked curiously.
"It isn't time for me to take the field yet." Xu Cheng smiled calmly. He wasn't being contemptuous, merely stating a fact.
"Wait."
Xiao Hongchen's eyes widened.
"What did you just say? You're going to take the field?!"
"Have I gone mad, or have you?!"
