Guardian students in the virtual Star Network have a dedicated waiting room where they can be directly teleported upon login. At this moment, the room contains only five people, who look at each other, unsure of what to say.
The first time Lance didn’t even start fighting before surrendering. Although everyone was polite enough not to say anything, they all looked down on him in their hearts.
Elbert cheated, but Lance, you’ve also become an accomplice to cheating. That’s really not right.
You are Lance, the Guardian Duke’s heir. How could you do this?
You don’t need to bow to anyone.
But after the second Dude went up and was instantly defeated, everyone was no longer in the mood to despise Lance. They were all from the same batch, and although they weren’t from the same Military Academy, they were clear about each other’s strengths. Dude was no ordinary person.
If even he was instantly defeated, then they wouldn’t have it easy either.
However, the group didn’t worry for long because a newcomer arrived in the room.
Her appearance excited the few in the room. Now, there was no need to think too much. With Venus showing up, the competition was essentially over. Plus, Venus’s battle style was very much a counter to Lin Fu’s, not to mention the vast difference in their strengths to begin with.
That’s what they had initially thought.
But now... they could only admire Lance’s cunning.
He must have had insider information before and knew Lin Fu’s strength, which is why he outright surrendered. His wasn’t cheating; he was being wise.
She would need at least half a day for her spiritual power to recover.
"Contestant number four, please take the stage."
An electronic prompt sounded in the room, but before the Second-year student from the First Military Command College, responsible for the fourth podium, could click to teleport, person after person began to appear in the room.
Many were familiar faces, including students from the First Military Command College.
"Why have so many of you suddenly arrived at once?"
Thirty-one people had arrived together, and more were on their way, continuing to arrive in twos and threes.
The student from the First Military Command College who had arrived first said bitterly, "You should have all seen Lin Fu’s performance. Given her strength in defeating Venus, the organizers feared you wouldn’t hold out, so they urgently called us in."
"Since there’s no upper limit to this challenge match, as long as Lin Fu doesn’t give up, the organizers will have to keep calling in reinforcements."
"As long as Lin Fu can continue to fight, the number of us here won’t suffice. The organizers are urgently calling in last year’s true experts, but some have left to earn points and are not on the Capital Star; logging in might not be possible from many other planets."
"Then the organizers have to speed up. If they’re slow, and Lin Fu takes on many more challenges, many real experts won’t want to enter the fray when her spiritual power is low. Nobody wants to take advantage of someone weakened—losing would be humiliating, and winning would not be honorable."
"Who came up with such an unscrupulous rule?"
"Haha! Now Lin Fu will rise to the top by stepping over all of us."
It’s foreseeable that this time Lin Fu really stunned everyone. She became famous in one battle.
Unlike her previous low-profile skirmishes limited to within Elbert Academy, which others couldn’t interfere with—her fame remained confined within the school—now it was different. This was a competition uniting over a hundred military academies, sponsored by the Military Department, and opened to the entire Galaxy Empire.
Lin Fu’s fame now eclipsed that of Meng Keqin and the others, with no room for comparison.
"Contestant number four is from the First Military Command College."
