“Hello, everyone! Welcome to the global university Otherworld Battle Competition's advancement match venue! I am your host, Yu Luyu!"

Today, Yu Luyu had silver nail polish on her exquisitely shaped toes, paired with matching open-toe high heels. Her snow-white feet were like a perfect work of art, captivating the audience from the moment she appeared and making people want to hold them up and admire them closely.

"Next, let's welcome the 16 teams from the Eastern Alliance!"

Yu Luyu raised her hand, and thunderous applause erupted as the 16 teams from the Eastern Alliance marched out from the right.

Having defeated Huaqing University's first team, Qiao Yu and his four teammates naturally became the favorites to win, walking at the forefront.

A school's second team becoming the number one seed was extremely rare in the history of the Battle Competition.

The members of Huaqing University's first team, walking behind, looked a little unhappy, as this position had always belonged to them in previous years.

The members of Jing University's first team, walking ahead of Huaqing, almost burst out laughing. Duan Shuiliu was grinning foolishly.

He had already decided that he wouldn't have to fight Gu Ming anymore. He could just say, "Only by defeating my junior can you earn the right to face me," which would surely infuriate Gu Ming.

Every time he thought about this, Duan Shuiliu felt that life was full of joy and hope.

Long Xiang sighed softly. The first time he met Qiao Yu, Qiao Yu was just a naive young man who had just taken the college entrance exam.

In the blink of an eye, less than a year had passed, and Qiao Yu's strength was already on par with his own.

"Ah, I never thought that my arrogant brother would lose to Qiao Yu. In that case, it's not unfair for me to lose, and it even makes sense."

Gu Su, who was also grinning foolishly in the audience, was definitely one of those who hoped Qiao Yu would become stronger and stronger.

With the knot in his heart untied, Gu Su was filled with joy.

"The atmosphere is just right! I've decided to be brave one more time! This is the last time!"

Gu Su took a deep breath and looked at Shi Shaorong next to him.

"Rongrong! Actually, if you don't like me, you can tell me. Your attitude gives me no hope. I'm tired and don't want to continue like this!"

Shi Shaorong glanced at him coldly, her voice as cold as eternal ice.

"I don't like you. Get lost."

Gu Su's expression darkened.

"I don't believe it! You're definitely lying to me! Girl, stop being stubborn!"

Shi Shaorong: "..."

Shi Shaorong took a deep breath, resisting the urge to freeze Gu Su, and looked towards the arena.

"Next, let's welcome the 16 teams from the Western Alliance who have traveled from afar!" Yu Luyu shouted again, but this time the applause was much quieter.

The 16 teams from the Western Alliance walked out from the left side of Jing University's stadium. They had blonde hair and blue eyes, and their deep-set eyes made them look very different from the people of the Eastern Alliance.

To the surprise of Qiao Yu and his teammates, the leader of the Western Alliance was actually a tall and stunningly beautiful woman.

The woman had a cold expression, smooth blonde hair, and skin so fair it seemed to glow. A tight-fitting white deep-V dress perfectly accentuated her fiery figure, giving her a sense of pure yet alluring charm, like a saintess of the forest.

"Damn, Brother Yu, this woman is the 3721st one I've truly fallen for! I've never had Western food before!" Yang Xiangdi's eyes widened, and Ma Fei nodded repeatedly beside him.

Just as Qiao Yu was about to say something flirtatious, he suddenly remembered that Zuo You was beside him. So he straightened his back, puffed out his chest, and said righteously.

"Yang Xiangdi, you're wrong to think like that! Isn't Chinese food good enough? You're being a媚外 (mèiwài, fawning over foreign things)!"

"How is this being 媚外 (mèiwài)? If I educate her with my棒 (bàng, stick), does that count as 崇洋 (chóngyáng, worshipping foreign things)?" Yang Xiangdi asked in shock.

Qiao Yu: "Of course it does! Let me ask you, what do we call the language of the Western Alliance?"

Yang Xiangdi: "洋文 (yángwén, foreign language)."

Qiao Yu: "What about the alcohol from the Western Alliance?"

Yang Xiangdi: "洋酒 (yángjiǔ, foreign liquor)."

Qiao Yu: "What about the toys from the Western Alliance?"

Yang Xiangdi: "洋... um, um, um!"

"Shut up! There are so many people here! I, Ma Fei, still have some shame!"

Ma Fei quickly covered Yang Xiangdi's mouth, afraid that he would blurt out some inappropriate words.

The host, Yu Luyu, also glanced curiously in their direction, but fortunately, she didn't hear what Qiao Yu and his teammates were saying.

After the 32 teams gathered, 16 arenas slowly rose from the center of Jing University's stadium, arranged in a dotted pattern.

The crowd was excited. It seemed that the Eastern Alliance was planning to complete the first round of advancement matches today and determine the top 16!

"Okay, the arenas are ready. Next, please have our teams ascend the arenas in the pre-arranged order. Let's look forward to their performance today!"

Yu Luyu made a big heart gesture towards the camera.

Even though Qiao Yu and his teammates were prepared, they were still stunned when they saw the five members of the Meichuan Kucha High School across the arena!

Because, from the opposite side, five muscular hunks came up!

Each of them was bare-chested, exposing their well-developed pectoral and abdominal muscles. Their average height was close to 1.9 meters. They were all wearing leather pants, wrapped in headscarves, and exuded an aura of freedom.

After seeing Qiao Yu and his teammates, the five members of Meichuan Kucha High School all gave meaningful smiles, not knowing whether they were greeting them or something else.

"Brother Yu... I'm so scared... After the fight, I won't change from a * to an o, will I?" Yang Xiangdi trembled a little.

Qiao Yu's Adam's apple bobbed up and down. Any man would have to think twice before facing five such hunks.

"D-Don't... don't be afraid... We'll let Ma Fei go first later!"

Ma Fei: "..."

He suddenly regretted knowing these two bastards.

After the referee stepped onto the stage, he couldn't help but take a deep look at the members of Meichuan Kucha High School.

After all, five shirtless muscle men standing there like five擎天柱 (qíngtiānzhù, sky-supporting pillars), anyone would忍不住 (rěn bù zhù, unable to resist) taking a second look.

"Please have both sides bow to each other!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, the leader of the hunks, ah no, the leader of Meichuan Kucha High School took a step forward. Only then did Qiao Yu see his face clearly.

A wide, square face with distinct contours. Underneath thick eyebrows were a pair of eyes with slight crow's feet. A scar on the lower right corner of his large mouth made his mouth look even bigger.

He said in broken Eastern language.

"I am Aye Fu, the captain of Meichuan Kucha High School! You are called Qiao Yu, right? I have seen your matches!"

Aye Fu's voice was very deep, with a heavy accent.

"Your 肉体 (ròutǐ, physical body) is very strong. I am very interested! I am also very much looking forward to交♂手 (jiāoshǒu, exchange blows) with you! Please use your full strength!"

After Aye Fu finished speaking, his two extremely developed pectoral muscles moved up and down, causing Qiao Yu's face to twitch.

"This is a sin..."
