Chapter 544 - Shocking the Audience (2/2)
Elder Cai stood from her seat, a smirk tugging at the corner of her mouth. In a sense, all of the outer court students could be considered her disciples, so she felt pride whenever any of them received such praise. However, she was a bit worried about the third grade.
She walked over to the edge of the platform and swept her gaze across the audience. “Combatants for the two-on-two match, come forward!”
The representatives of the third grade took the stage. They were a boy and a girl that closely resembled each other. They seemed to be siblings, twins even. Opposite to them, Tang Wulin and Gu Yue climbed the stairs of the stage with large strides. Both pairs were suppressing their emotions, like a volcano on the verge of eruption. Once all four arrived, both sides introduced themselves.
“Li Mengyang of the third grade!”
“Li Mengtian of the third grade!”
“Tang Wulin of first grade!”
“Gu Yue of the first grade!”
Murmurs began to spread among the audience. “It’s Li Mengtian and Li Mengyang! I heard they’re assault-types with amazing teamwork and a soul fusion skill! Apparently they’re the core of the third grade’s team. Their strength earned them a nickname. They’re the Invincible Twin Suns!”
“The other side is sending out first grade students again. They actually sent out two first graders for the two-on-two! Wasn’t the girl from the previous match a first grader too? The first graders are really strong this time!”
“Oh, you haven’t heard? That Tang Wulin guy, he’s the class president of the first grade. He only has three rings, but he’s a fifth-rank blacksmith already! And everyone in the first grade seems to accept him as their leader! Then there’s Gu Yue. She’s one of the vice presidents, but I’ve never heard of them working well as a duo.”
“I heard the first and second grades had a showdown last year and the first grade won!”
“No way! The second grade has Yuanen Yehui! She’s an absolute monster! I don’t think anyone in the third grade is a match for her except the battle armor masters. How the hell could the first grade have won against her?”
“It’s totally possible! Didn’t you see how powerful Ye Xinglan was, or are you just blind? Our underclassmen this year are scary. If we don’t work hard, they’ll surpass us in the blink of an eye.”
“Just shut up and watch. The battle’s about to start. We’ll find out just how strong they are soon enough.”
As the audience’s chatter died down, Elder Cai stepped forward and looked between the combatants. Her gaze lingered on Tang Wulin and Gu Yue for a moment, then she looked forward.
“Begin.”
As soon as the word left her lips, the Li siblings leaped into action. With a sweep of their arms, they summoned their battle armor from their storage rings, and in an instant they were equipped. They wore five pieces of armor total, gauntlets, pauldrons, and faulds, all a deep crimson with flame patterns running along their surfaces. It was as if they had erupted in flames.
