During the match against Qingluan University, each player from Princeton University would choose to concede after defeating their opponent, as if they were confident that their teammates could also easily defeat the opposition.
And indeed, that was the case.
Except for the four matches conceded, Princeton University won the remaining five matches!
Such arrogant behavior, although in line with the competition rules, was somewhat disrespectful to the competition and the opponents, and it caused strong dissatisfaction among the Dongxia Spirit Masters.
In the afternoon, after the last match of the top 16, the teams advancing to the quarterfinals began drawing lots to determine their next opponents.
Chen Mo, representing Bai Ze University, completed the drawing and returned to the player area, quietly waiting for the final result.
The large screen scrolled rapidly, as the eight teams in the quarterfinals all watched intently.
The opponent they faced next could very well determine whether they could continue to advance.
Princeton University, after demonstrating their strength in the morning’s matches, had become the biggest favorite to win the championship, and the team that the other teams least wanted to meet.
Following them was Captain Chen’s Bai Ze Team.
Losing the match would be a secondary concern; the main thing was the possible embarrassment...
The frequency of the screen’s jumping slowed down, and when the results were seen, Xia Wenbo and the others couldn’t help but open their mouths wide.
The top line on the giant screen starkly showed—
Quarterfinals’ first match.
Dongxia Bai Ze University VS Star Flag Princeton University
"Damn! We hit the jackpot!"
"Captain Chen, how lucky can you get?"
"We’re done for, how are we going to fight this?"
Seeing their next opponent, the members of Bai Ze University were unsettled.
They had drawn the strongest team of this World Championship right off the bat.
"Don’t panic, it’s inevitable that we’ll have to fight them sooner or later; now we’re just getting it over with earlier."
"It doesn’t matter, I will take action. You guys just do your best."
For him, it really made no difference which team they drew.
In any case, it would all be a one-sided thrashing.
Xiao Jiu silently took note of Chen Mo’s words; they seemed a bit cocky.
Hearing Chen Mo’s slightly boastful words, the other players inexplicably felt reassured.
They suddenly remembered that they had a "heavenly proxy" here!
Chen Mo possessed two Monarch Level Spiritual Beasts.
So what if Princeton University was strong? Did they have Monarch Level Spiritual Beasts?
The bright moon hung high.
Chen Mo was meditating on the hotel bed when Xiao Jiu suddenly ran over angrily, handing over its phone to him.
What’s the situation?
Chen Mo was startled; Jiu Bao usually had a good temper, and it was rare for anyone to make it angry.
The phone displayed a video of an interview with Princeton University by a foreign media outlet.
The content of the interview was mainly about their match against Dongxia Qingluan University that day, with the players from Princeton University each giving their own comments, all implying the same thing—
The Dongxia Spirit Masters were trash.
"Do you have any thoughts on your opponents for tomorrow?"
At the end of the video, the reporter asked with a smile.
"No particular thoughts. I’m sure everyone saw today’s match; any Beast Master from our place could easily thrash them!"
Princeton’s vice-captain, a black man with a buzz cut, shrugged his shoulders and said with a grin:
"It’s the same with Bai Ze University tomorrow."
Saying that, he gave the camera the middle finger.
"Are you guys ready to be beaten up?"
"But the captain of Bai Ze University seems to be quite strong, Captain Hel, what do you think?"
The reporter asked another woman dressed in a black dress with black lipstick, sporting a goth look.
This was Hel, captain of Princeton University’s World Championship team, who had participated in the last World Championships and won the championship, and this year she had become the captain.
Her response came calm:
"Chen Mo? I can only say this; he has a bit of skill, but not much. I’ve seen his previous matches, and he’s only won by playing little tricks."
"Especially that Food Spirit, the techniques it uses are simply unbearable to watch, nauseating. This so-called ’dark cuisine stream’ is just utterly ridiculous. Tomorrow I’ll show him what it means to be helpless in the face of absolute strength!"
In the video, Hel’s look was one of arrogance, clearly not taking Bai Ze University seriously.
The other Star Flag Spirit Masters were also extremely arrogant.
After all, this was the absolute political correctness within Star Flag Country.
Chen Mo glanced at the comments; as expected, there were many people criticizing.
Not just Dongxia Country netizens who had bypassed the firewall, but also people from other countries and even many Spirit Masters from the Star Flag Country.
Xiao Jiu was very angry.
Of course, what made it angry wasn’t Princeton University’s arrogance and disregard for them.
It was the slandering of Tuantuan by these Princeton University players.
As the team’s chef and beloved mascot, Tuantuan was very popular among the other Spiritual Beasts.
It was okay to criticize others, but not Tuantuan.
"Woo!" (Chen Mo, let me fight tomorrow!)
As the big sister figure, Xiao Jiu was ready to take fierce revenge for Tuantuan.
Chen Mo nodded, his eyes also showing a hint of anger.
However, what Chen Mo didn’t expect was—when he woke up the next day, the interview video had disappeared.
Then, he saw an apology video from the Princeton University players.
In the middle of the night, several Star Flag Country players realized something was amiss when they found hundreds of thousands of comments criticizing them.
