Gao Lingwei was frighteningly calm. She silently read the opponent’s profile and said, ”So, this is why the experts predicted they’d make the top eight. This is what gives them the edge.”

Yang Chunxi picked up the remote and said, ”Let’s watch their last match. If I’m not mistaken, the older brother, Tang Yang, should be the Warrior charging into the fray, while the younger sister, Tang Meng, is the commander controlling the field from the rear.”

Rong Taotao looked at the profile and said, ”With a full set of Soul Pearls and Soul Skills like that, this is going to be quite a show.”

Yang Chunxi said, troubled, ”The key issue is that your battleground is an ocean arena. That means their Soul Skills can be used to their full potential.

”If it were a Starfield or Snow Realm Arena, that Vortex Water Blade and Torrential Rain Water Needle would be much harder to use. Those are Soul Skills that require a large amount of water to activate.”

Yang Chunxi finally found the Tang siblings’ match. Interestingly, their last match had also been in an ocean arena.

On the vast, half-land, half-water battlefield, Rong Taotao saw a handsome young man clad in water-forged armor charging bravely forward. He also saw a beautiful girl in the back, standing on the water’s surface, releasing countless watery hands to bind their enemies.

The battle didn’t last long, ending even faster than Rong Taotao and Gao Lingwei’s match. Throughout the fight, the siblings only seemed to display a mere four or five Soul Skills, holding back their more powerful trump cards.

Yang Chunxi took a deep breath. ’Such a one-sided battle... and they’re only predicted for the top eight? Isn’t that a bit too conservative?’

”Huh? Your opponents have been decided?” From the side, the middle-aged internet addict, Xia Fangran, suddenly spoke up.

Rong Taotao shot Xia Fangran an annoyed look. ”Yeah, they have! What about it?”

Xia Fangran grunted and said, ”I knew it. No wonder your Weibo is suddenly blowing up with so many notifications.

”Everyone’s gloating over your misfortune. Look at their smug, petty faces, tsk... So what’s the deal? Did you two get matched with a tough opponent?”

Yang Chunxi pressed a hand to her forehead, forcefully suppressing the emotions churning within her. If Xia Fangran weren’t her teacher, she probably would have made him go stand in the corner...

’If you’d just tear your eyes away from your phone for a second and glance at the TV, you wouldn’t be asking who our opponents are, would you?’

Rong Taotao immediately pulled out his phone, opened Weibo, and sure enough, saw a crowd of gloating trolls. He figured that after his win in the last match, these haters had been stewing in frustration. The moment the new match-up list was released, every Tom, Dick, and Harry had come crawling out of the woodwork.

”Whoa~ Rong Taotao, you’re done for~”

”It’s over, no more miracles...”

”Haha, God Yang and God Meng are probably going to go on a killing spree! These are contestants who can make it to the nationals, haha! Place your bets, place your bets! I bet the fight ends in under three minutes!”

”Poor Goddess Wei, why is she with such a dead weight? A distinguished high school King of Guanwai, and she’s going to get kicked out in the second round. Sigh... my Goddess Wei’s lifelong reputation...”

Rong Taotao grimaced, tossed his phone aside, and picked up the paper with their opponents’ info.

”Taotao.”

”Hm?” Rong Taotao turned to look.

Gao Lingwei’s expression was serious. ”I’m here.”

Rong Taotao raised an eyebrow slightly. An opponent like this was indeed powerful.

But Gao Lingwei confirmed again, ”I’m here.”

Her voice was soft, but firm.

It seemed that this time, she had no intention of breaking her word again.
