Chapter 240 Encountering powerful enemies (1/2)
Rows of colored arrangements moved once again. This time, the red and white names were mixed and formed a new arrangement. Every red name was matched up against a white name.
When everything was confirmed, Lan Xuanyu realized they were up against three unfamiliar names. Evidently, they were opponents he did not recognize.
He sighed to himself inwardly; the situation he was hoping wouldn’t happen happened. Without a doubt, the majority of participants in the semi-finals were participants from the mother planet. Unrecognizable names had a high probability of coming from the mother planet. Dong Qianqiu had warned him earlier that the opponents from the mother planet were the strongest.
Since it had already happened, they could only do their best against their opponents.
Lan Xuanyu closed his eyes and the expression on his face became completely cool. He gradually focused his attention on calming himself down, while adjusting everything within him. He adjusted his state of mind.
Figuring out his abilities after the mutation with Ji Hongbin was extremely important for this day. He was no longer the Lan Xuanyu from before! There was a chance, there would definitely be a chance.
Liu Feng and Qian Lei had their eyes on him. Seeing him close his eyes, they unknowingly felt reassured. But it was their first time seeing Lan Xuanyu be so serious.
“The lot drawing is completed, let us prepare for the test. The test will have 10 elevated stages. For the names that are called up, please head to the stages,” Xiao Qi announced.
Stages started to float up from the ground from Sea God Square. Very quickly, 10 stages were neatly arranged above the square. Including Ling Yiyi and the youths, a pair was designated to a stage—one stood at the edge while the other entered the stage, evidently to act as judges.
“Stage 1, Lan Xuanyu, Liu Feng, and Qian Lei against Li Han, Li Bin, and Jia Yu.”

The former three were stunned to hear their names right at the get-go. There were a total of 100 teams, but they were actually the first to be chosen to go up the stage.
Lan Xuanyu immediately opened his eyes as a faint radiance flashed past the depths of his eyes. His mouth formed a smile as he whispered to Liu Feng and Qian Lei, “It’s a good thing to be first on stage. Let’s go!”
While saying that, he took the lead and walked towards Stage 1. It did not matter to him who he was up against. The only thing he could do now was to lead his teammates and win the fight. Win and stay, that was the only way to continue!
Lan Mengqin turned to an anxious Dong Qianqiu. “Their strengths aren’t that great, are they? That Lan Xuanyu’s aura isn’t that strong either. Qianqiu, you’re being too nervous. Why would you like him? Elimination might not be a bad thing.”
“Who likes him?” Dong Qianqiu said with a blush. “Elder sister Mengqin, we’re still young!”
Lan Mengqin giggled. “If you don’t like him, what’re you being anxious for?”
Dong Qianqiu glanced at her. “He’s my teacher’s disciple after all!”
“Teacher Nana?” Lan Mengqin was startled.
Dong Qianqiu nodded her head. “He is Teacher Nana’s first disciple. The last time he came over to our school was to find Teacher Nana as well.”

Upon hearing her explanation, Lan Mengqin’s expression immediately changed. She turned to look at Lan Xuanyu on stage with surprise and expectations in her eyes.
Lan Xuanyu’s trio walked up the stage and stood to the side, with Lan Xuanyu taking the center position while Liu Feng and Qian Lei were a step behind and by his sides.
At the same time, their opponents walked up on stage.
They were three relatively tall youths. The three did not look special in any way, but had concealed presences and possessed stability surpassing that of people their age.
The three stood in a file and looked at Lan Xuanyu’s team with fire in their eyes.
“Both parties, state your names.” The judge responsible for Stage 1 spoke up, coincidentally being the familiar Ling Yiyi.
