"They're here!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and then they saw the team from the Youlan Empire entering the venue. As they entered, everyone had smiles on their faces, with the most lively Dick even making a V gesture.

In the Youlan Empire, V stands for victory.

He even arrogantly raised his arm and cheered.

This behavior seemed somewhat silly, but it was deliberately done by Tyler.

Currently, the investigation team was scrutinizing them closely, and Tyler understood...

At this moment, being low-key would seem guilty.

Allowing Dick to act high-profile was, by all means, a brilliant strategy.

In any case, before leaving the Cangling Ancient Country, they must not let the Cangling Ancient Country's investigation team uncover the truth.

As for Gu An, they had completely disconnected from them.

Which means, Gu An could not provide any help to them now.

Lost in thought, Tyler squinted and sat in his seat, adjusting his mood.

Today is a good day and shouldn't be spent on idle thoughts.

This time he led the team here mainly to gain prestige.

As long as he led the team to win the championship this time, he would be promoted another level upon returning home and have the opportunity to work in the House of Representatives.

Thinking of this, he looked at Dick and the others and said, "Today we must win; losing is not an option."

Dick, hearing this, smiled and said, "Mentor, we already started 2-0, how could we lose?"

Everyone also smiled broadly.

It's not that they were being complacent.

Before the match, they conducted a very detailed analysis of the Cangling Ancient Country's strength; they even calculated Lin Chen's score during the analysis.

This caused strong dissatisfaction from Dick, but based on the current data, Lin Chen's two Spirit Beasts had already surpassed Dick's strength.

So one of the reasons Dick was so aggressive today was his desire to openly defeat Lin Chen here, to prove that he is the new freshman champion of this edition.

According to custom, the competition was divided into three venues. After gathering, Wu Chen and the others prepared to set off.

Wu Chen, the senior disciple, also encouraged everyone once more before separating:

"As I always say, since we're here, everyone must give it their all in the battle."

"And also..."

"Last time, it was the junior disciples who secured our chance in the finals, so in this battle, we cannot leave a mess for them."

"Ideally, we go undefeated and win the match outright."

Upon saying this, everyone also smiled.

However, what Wu Chen said next made their smiles freeze.

"This is in our country, in White Emperor City..."

"Moreover, the previous attack on the junior disciple still hasn't revealed all its reasons."

Upon hearing this, everyone furrowed their brows, their expressions becoming exceedingly serious.

Subsequently, injured Fang You and Ning Tian joined in unison to cheer, and finally, everyone dispersed to their respective venues, awaiting the start of the match.

...

Lin Chen walked into the freshman venue, which was already almost half full with spectators.

The freshman match was the last one, so the audience wasn't in a hurry to enter.

While waiting, Lin Chen saw Liu Gu approaching with Bai Ling, the latter evidently very happy. She had always wanted to come and watch Xiaobai and the others compete, but Liu Gu wouldn't let her. However, for the final, Liu Gu offered to bring her over.

The reason for this was quite apparent; now that Bai Ling's identity had been revealed by Zhong Nan, there was no need to hide it anymore.

"I'm sure you guys will win the championship today," Bai Ling said as she came over.

Lin Chen merely smiled without speaking, while Bai Ling took the Calamity-Devouring Beast and Red Feather Chicken to find Xiaobai and the others to play.

Lin Chen vacated a seat for Liu Gu, and they sat quietly, waiting for a message from the other side.

Soon, the news came.

The first match was Wu Chen's showdown.

Being in the top three years meant they were the strongest students, making their strongest also the top contender in the Beast Fighting Conference.

Wu Chen, the top seed of the third-year division's match, was highly anticipated, and Lin Chen, after waiting nearly half an hour, finally received news about Wu Chen's battle.

However, it wasn't good news.

In this battle, Wu Chen ended in a draw.

This meant that Cangling Ancient Country only scored 1 point, while the Youlan Empire's score reached 5 points.

Wu Chen's match wasn't considered an upset, as the opposing top seed had much higher ratings than Wu Chen previously.

Ending in a draw, no one dared to doubt Wu Chen's level.

After all, if Wu Chen couldn't defeat them, no one else could take down this top seed either.

However, the unexpected development involving the most likely to win Wu Chen made the audience suddenly anxious.

"We were hoping for a miracle, but it seems like it's not happening," many sighed.

After Wu Chen's match concluded, the third-year students' competition continued, and the second battle ended even quicker, but Lin Chen was surprised that:

A draw.

That's right.

The second round also ended in a draw.

The match outcome was extremely intense, with the third-year participant's Spirit Beast fighting to its last drop of Beast Power and being sent to the infirmary after the match ended.

Two rounds ending in a draw meant the disadvantage continued, as the Youlan Empire maintained a two-match win advantage.

In this situation, the third-year's third match began.

This match lasted nearly an hour, and seeing the student from the Spirit Academy delivering the message with a gloomy face, Lin Chen understood the result was unlikely to be favorable.
