The arena fell silent.
In the stands, in front of screens, countless people watched as Xu Mo raised his index finger.
Before, they had cheered for Capital Royal Academy, and jeered at Xu Mo and his team.
Now, Xu Mo had knocked out all five members of Capital Royal Academy, returning the jeers to them.
This was Xu Mo’s response, forceful and flamboyant.
Everyone was stunned; in their memory, there had never been such a brazen participant in the Transcendent Competition!
"Brother Xu Mo..." Sun Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Mo’s gesture with infatuated eyes, murmuring softly, "So in love!"
"Idol!" Xiao Qi muttered beside her, worthy of my Brother Xu, only you would dare.
Challenging the entire arena!!
Stark was still somewhat excited; Xu Mo had turned the tide against the odds, shocking the entire arena.
But the next moment, he covered his face with his hands... Did it have to be this heart-stopping, is he trying to become the public enemy?
He thought he was already arrogant enough, but there was someone even more audacious.
After a moment of silence, a few booing sounds appeared in the stands, and then grew more numerous, filling the sky—the first person to dominate the preliminary rounds so vigorously faced an arena full of booing.
Just because he was too arrogant!!!
"Advanced." A mechanical voice rang out amidst the booing, declaring that the ten people still in Abandoned City had advanced to the next round, the qualifying matches.
The other six advanced passively. Hearing the resounding boos, they didn’t even know what had happened.
Why was the winner booed???
Xu Mo lowered his index finger and smiled carelessly, seemingly enjoying the sound.
Ye Qingdie, Su Rou, and Lin Jue all walked toward Xu Mo, Lin Jue seeing Xu Mo’s flamboyant personality for the first time.
Perhaps, this was truly him.
"Let’s go," Xu Mo said, Lin Jue and the others nodded, and the group headed outside.
The next round would be the qualifying match, decided by the number of defeats; the fighting would be wilder. Ye Qingdie and Su Rou hardly had a chance of advancing, Lin Jue could only say there was hope.
But, he was here to experience the Transcendent Competition; how far he could go didn’t really matter to him.
This first preliminary match had been thrilling enough!
In Chuanxing City, countless people watched the figure with his finger raised. This image was imprinted in their minds; they realized that this moment would definitely become a legendary scene in the Transcendent Competition.
Even though the booing was deafening, they all understood that it was because of Xu Mo’s flamboyant personality, but in fact, he had led his team to knock out two elite teams, Galaxy Transcendent Academy and Capital Royal Academy, during the preliminaries.
Moreover, having the advantage in numbers, Xu Mo chose not to gang up but knocked Li Kaiyun out of the competition single-handedly.
His combat power was beyond doubt, undoubtedly ranked among the top few in this Transcendent Competition.
This battle had successfully made countless people remember him, and also the Stark Team.
Xu Mo thought, this ten million, was it worth it?
Outside the venue, Xu Mo and his team had just come out when Stark’s business van was already waiting outside, surrounded frantically by many media members.
"Did your gesture mean to silence the audience? Do you feel strong dissatisfaction with the audience’s booing?"
"Defeating Capital Royal Academy, what are your feelings?"
The reporter caught up and frantically asked, Xu Mo didn’t respond; they pushed forward, got into the car, and Stark quickly closed the door. The vehicle started and drove away.
Stark watched the media chase after them, breathed a sigh, and then looked at Xu Mo with a curious expression, saying, "You’re on fire!"
Clearly, Xu Mo was going to be on fire.
And not just a little bit.
To command silence from the whole arena, he really dared!
"Ten million appearance fees, couldn’t let you suffer losses," Xu Mo said, looking at Stark.
"......." Stark looked back at him.
"One question, is this a positive publicity effect, or a negative one?" Stark asked curiously. Xu Mo’s team, having decisively defeated two Transcendent student teams, should be considered as having gained a high profile, which is naturally positive.
But still, due to his ’special encounter’ and the final provocative gesture, he was overly arrogant.
So, was it positive, or negative?
"I don’t know," Xu Mo replied, whether positive or negative, the publicity effect had been achieved, hadn’t it?
"Next, many might want to dig you out," Stark said. No matter how flagrant Xu Mo was, his final decision to fight alone and defeat Li Kaiyun powerfully was impressive enough.
Even if it was ’negative’, the audience had to acknowledge his strength.
And being so bold, he was bound to gain a large following.
Anyway, Xu Mo was bound to be on fire!
"When does the qualifying match start?" Xu Mo asked.
"Not sure, it depends on the number of registrations; every session of the Transcendent Competition attracts a lot, and even with the preliminary rounds one after another, it takes at least a fortnight to clear, and that’s only because the Transcendent Competition is somewhat dangerous, otherwise even more would participate," Stark replied. "Before the next match starts, I’ll let you know."
"Okay," Xu Mo nodded, looked at Olivia and asked, "Are you hurt?"
"The Battle Armor absorbed most of the force, minor injuries, a few days of rest will do," Olivia replied. "We won, that’s what matters."
"How about you, Su Rou?" Xu Mo looked at Su Rou.
"Just a shake to the head, no big deal," Su Rou shook her head, and Xu Mo nodded, reassured.
