308 Stay Away! (1/2)
More and more people streamed into the stadium. They had seen the cruiser from the Dao Mountain Mist Academy arriving. Many of them, especially those who had come on foot, had also seen Wang Baole's dramatic and stunning declaration on the spirit screens.
This sparked the inevitable discussion on how the friendly match had come about. The proposal for a friendly match between Li Wuchen and Wang Baole was no secret. As news about the friendly match spread, most people became aware of the matter.
This had something to do with the famed reputation of the two academies, but it also had something to do with Wang Baole and Li Wuchen themselves. The Martians saw them both as impressive personalities who weren't to be underestimated.
Li Wuchen was the disciple of the Ethereal Dao College's Grand Supreme Elder. He would draw attention anywhere he went. This was the same for Wang Baole. He might not have the same impressive background as Li Wuchen, but he was still a striking personality with an impressive list of achievements in battle. He had especially made a name for himself for his performance in the Mystic Luna Realm.
Every political force had their eyes on Wang Baole after the Mystic Luna Realm incident. They couldn't ignore his existence, as too many Foundation Establishment realm cultivators had died by his hand.
His talents in refining Dharmic Armaments were also what had caught the attention of many. The Federation had deliberately tried to keep his creation of the Mystic Trace Beads under wraps; however, the various political forces had been able to dig up some information on it. They understood how great an impact the Mystic Trace Beads would make on the moon.
The deployment of these two people to Mars had received great attention from many. They had been appointed the same rank, coincidentally, and their mutual competition had resulted in the friendly school match. The growing debate and advertisement, as well as the horde of spectators watching the match, culminated in the news of the friendly match being spread like wildfire across the entire planet before its official commencement.
The Federation media had caught wind of it as well and rushed down with an intention for a live broadcast, but the local Martian broadcasting agency exercised their local privileges. They contacted Lin Tianhao, paid an endorsement fee, and acquired the best deal for a live broadcast.
This gave Wang Baole an idea. He passed down his instructions to Lin Tianhao, and while Lin Tianhao was initially reluctant, he grit his teeth and began to seek endorsements and sponsorships. Advertisement banners and posters were hung everywhere in the stadium, the vibrant colors adding to the overall lively atmosphere.
More than half of the famous and important personalities in the Martian City made an appearance, all of them from political forces. The military was also activated, and they assisted with stadium security. The scale of the friendly match had grown too big, both in terms of turnout as well as the level of participation from the Martian political sphere.
That wasn't the end of it. Just before the match commenced, a crimson red cruiser, accompanied by seven to eight black cruisers, appeared in the distant skyline and rushed towards the stadium. The crowd cheered.
The red cruiser was clearly made from a special material. Even from afar, it exuded an intense heat. As it drew near, the heat grew scorching and more intense, like a fire that would burn everything in its path. It was a terrifying sight to behold.
”The Governor!”
”The Governor has made a personal appearance!”
Everyone in the stadium rose to their feet when they saw the red cruiser, saluting the incoming cruiser. It hovered in mid-air above the stadium, and two figures dashed out, one after another. Everyone started shouting out their greetings. It was as if a thunderous roar had risen to the skies to greet them.
”Greetings to the Governor! Greetings to the Deputy Governor!”
The new arrivals were a man and a woman. The woman was middle-aged, but she looked young for her age. She had beautiful features and a sharp gaze that made her seem stern. She seemed to possess an unfathomable cultivation, and her crimson robes exuded an intense heat.
She was the Martian Colony Governor!
Following close behind her was a middle-aged man dressed in black robes. He was the Martian Colony Deputy Governor, the giant tree disguised as a man!
A faint smile appeared on their stern faces when they landed in the stadium. The giant tree deliberately fell one step behind, bowing slightly and gesturing for the Governor to walk ahead. The crimson-robed Governor simply smiled. She nodded and took her seat on the main platform.
The giant tree followed behind and sat next to her, causing the Martian officials around them to all perk up. Those whose children were contesting in the match immediately sent a transmission to their children, instructing them to present their best side in the match.
After all, it was a rare opportunity to showcase one's talents before the Governor.
The atmosphere in the stadium reached its peak with the arrival of the Governor and the Deputy Governor. The friendly match officially kicked off. Lin Tianhao displayed his talents at event management and stirring public interest. After consulting the Fire Spirit Academy, he had engaged two commentators for the friendly match… Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
The two commentators were well known on Mars. The male and female commentators stood in the center of the public square and started conversing merrily under the eyes of the hundred thousand spectators. Their laughter rose in the air.
”All right, let's stop the unnecessary chatting. If you will look to my right, the contesting students from the Fire Spirit Academy will be making their appearance now!”
As soon as the male commentator said that, the eyes of everyone in the stadium turned towards the corridor on the right. They soon saw Li Wuchen, dressed in Dao robes, exuding an unearthly aura and a calm composure, walk out from the corridor. Behind him were a hundred students. They all wore the same uniform, and every one of them looked impressive.
