Chapter 1 The Finals Begin

The morning sun wasn't scorching; instead, it felt like a warm, light blanket.

Last night was sleepless for countless people.

Although they all knew it would be difficult for Jingda Team Two to defeat the Pantheon Academy, what if... a miracle happened?

Even with a huge difference in strength, they had to fight to the very last moment. This was the spirit of the Great Xia Ancient Kingdom!

"Hello, viewers! Welcome to the finals of the Global Underworld Battle Competition! I am your host, Yu Luyu!"

Yu Luyu had clearly dressed up carefully today. Her form-fitting qipao made her look like a ripe and juicy peach.

"Without further ado, let's welcome today's contestants. First up, Jingda Team Two!"

As soon as Qiao Yu and his four teammates entered the arena, countless people shouted out the flags they had made for today's battle!

Liu Xing: "Jingda Team Two, if you can win today, I'll call everyone here 'Dad'! A real man never goes back on his word!"

Pai Gu Zai: "If you can win, I'll do a handstand and crap my pants, then streak!"

Liang Feifan: "Is that all? If Jingda Team Two wins, I'll actually go and screw a ship propeller! I'm betting my little brother on this!"

Countless people made increasingly outrageous flags, and Ma Feiyue felt more and more that something was wrong.

"Qiao Yu, don't you think these people... are using these flags to unleash their inner selves?"

"Very likely!" Qiao Yu agreed. "It's the same as those who act recklessly under the influence of alcohol!"

Yang Xiangdi: "Exactly, you can't even get hard when you're really drunk!"

"How do you know that???"

The other four instantly turned their gazes to Yang Xiangdi. Something was off about this guy!

"Hey! As a wise man, it's only reasonable that I know more, right?" Yang Xiangdi said, stuffing another meat bun into his mouth. He already had a slight beer belly.

Qiao Yu nodded. "Reasonable. You're the weaker kind of wise man, in short, retarded."

"Pfft! Cough, cough, cough!" Yang Xiangdi almost choked to death on his soy milk. "Yu-ge, that's not fair!"

Looking at the bickering group, Shen Jianshu finally felt relieved.

He shook his head with a wry smile. He had been worried that these kids would be too anxious because of the pressure, after all, they were competing under the attention of billions of people.

Now it seemed that he had worried for nothing. These five were more carefree than he was.

When Qiao Yu and his four teammates stood on the arena, Yu Luyu waved her hand again, and the gate on the other side of the arena opened.

"Next, let's welcome the Pantheon Academy!"

An Liya, walking at the front, had a jade-like face, a slender figure, and a narrow waist. Her white dress flowed naturally, giving her an otherworldly aura.

At this moment, An Liya was like a fairy, untainted by the mortal world, with a beauty that transcended reality, like a pure white lotus rolling with dewdrops, or like a fresh snow lotus on the summit of a snow mountain, giving people a feeling of being above the mundane.

Many men felt a little ashamed of themselves. They felt that even looking at such a beautiful woman was a kind of desecration.

Of course, Qiao Yu and the other two perverts were definitely an exception. They not only stared at her unscrupulously, but also commented on her.

"Such a good seed, what a pity!" Yang Xiangdi couldn't help but sigh as he looked at An Liya.

Ma Fei: "What's a pity?"

Yang Xiangdi: "It's a pity she doesn't go to sea to film some resources to be remembered for all time!"

After hearing this, Qiao Yu nodded repeatedly. This fairy-like, ethereal temperament, coupled with a few wretched bald guys or blondes... would sell big! Definitely sell big!

Fortunately, An Liya couldn't read minds, otherwise, she probably wouldn't have waited for the referee to call the start before killing Qiao Yu and the others.

"Song Qingshan, I wonder what you think of this match? Who do you think will win?" Sharst asked with a smile.

"Jingda Team Two." Song Qingshan replied without hesitation.

"Oh? Is that so? Since Old Song is so confident, then I'll wait and see!" Sharst chuckled, but his eyes were full of sarcasm.

Jingda Team Two win against Pantheon Academy? What a joke! An Liya was a goddess descended from the sacred mountain!

At this moment, Song Qingshan's expression suddenly changed drastically. He quickly called his assistant over.

The assistant rushed over, taking three steps at a time. Anything that could change Old Song's expression must be important!

"Old Song! What's wrong?"

Song Qingshan beckoned him to come closer, then whispered.

"Before the match starts, use my private money and bet two hundred on Jingda Team Two to win!"

Assistant: "..."

It wasn't until the assistant left that Song Qingshan returned to his dignified appearance.

If he hadn't joined the army by chance and become the leader of the Great Xia Ancient Kingdom, he might have been a gambling addict lingering in some casino. Thinking of this, Song Qingshan couldn't help but smile.

But Sharst on the side couldn't sit still!

He secretly opened the Underworld Network and spoke to someone.

"Just now, Song Qingshan suddenly sent his assistant out! Something must be up! Investigate! Use all the intelligence power of the Western Alliance to investigate to death! We must find out the truth!"

Countless undercover intelligence agents lurking in Kyoto were mobilized and quietly followed the assistant who was taking two hundred yuan to place a bet...

Just as undercurrents surged throughout Kyoto, the finals of the Battle Competition officially began!

"Both sides, bow to each other!" the referee announced.

"Pantheon Academy, An Liya."

"Kyoto University Team Two, Qiao Yu."

"Brothers, today we shall pledge ourselves to the highest aspirations! Strive to be the best in the world! After today, I will make the whole world remember my name, Ma Fei!"

With a clang, the Autumn Water-like Skylight Sword was unsheathed directly, with a faint dragon's roar, seemingly echoing the owner's fighting spirit.

"Heh, ridiculous. Losers are not qualified to have their names remembered. Do you remember the name of the second highest peak in the world?" Codyger was still as cocky as ever.

"Yes, K2." Qiao Yu replied.

"..."

"Sharp tongue, later I will pull out your teeth one by one!" Codyger grinned.

The salute had just ended, and two fiery fighting spirits collided together, the atmosphere was scorching.

Seeing this, the referee did not delay any further, repeating the competition rules before raising his hand directly.

"I announce! The Global Underworld University Battle Competition Finals! Begin!"

As soon as the words fell, the two sides instantly prepared for battle.

Codyger and the other three raised countless shields, like a towering city wall in front of An Liya.

And the crystal clear longbow in An Liya's hand instantly lit up, emitting a sacred golden light, even An Liya's eyes were shrouded in golden light.

"Burn all evil under the twilight halo, bloom, light of raging flames!"

An Liya drew her bow and nocked an arrow, the first arrow directly locking onto Zhao Ziyue.

Zhao Ziyue's hairs stood on end! She felt an extremely strong threat from that arrow, as if the gods from the heavens were about to descend their wrath upon her.

An Liya's slender white fingers released the bowstring, her rosy lips lightly chanting.

"First Arrow, Scarlet Flame!"
