After a day of competition, the first round of the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition finally concluded.
Inside Tianhai Stadium, some rejoiced while others despaired.
Eliminated students were dejected, while advancing contestants dared not relax, all preparing for the upcoming matches.
The night passed without incident, and in a blink, it was the morning of the second day.
The Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition's schedule was very tight, with all competitions proceeding in an orderly manner.
Tang Wulin was called away by Senior Sister Mu Xi early in the morning. As a contestant who broke the forging record in the first round of the forging competition, he attracted much attention.
Today, he would participate in the second round of the Junior Forging Competition, which was equally crucial.
The final champion of the Forging Competition was determined by the comprehensive scores of all judges, with the scores from each round added together.
In the first round, Tang Wulin undoubtedly took the lead with his High Grade Hundred Refinements and the shortest time. There was no doubt his score would be the highest.
The second round involved freely forging rare metals, and what could be forged depended on the skill of the Forging Masters.
For junior Forging Masters, being able to complete Hundred Refinements before the age of fifteen was considered excellent talent, and completing Thousand Refinements made one a Genius.
...
When Fang Yang and the others arrived at Tianhai Stadium, their individual and three-person team matches had not yet begun.
Not long after, Tang Wulin rushed back, covered in dust, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Wu Lin, how was your second round forging competition?" Fang Yang asked first.
Everyone's gaze turned to Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin showed a confident smile: "Does that even need asking? Of course, I successfully advanced!"
"And, I also advanced with Senior Sister Mu Xi."
"Oh..."
Xie Xie suddenly let out a meaningful sigh.
Tang Wulin looked at him in confusion: "Xie Xie, what kind of reaction is that?"
"Someone wouldn't be falling for someone else, would he? On one side, there's a senior, and on the other, a Senior Sister. What a lucky man!" Xie Xie said, winking.
"Xie Xie!"
Tang Wulin's face immediately flushed red, "Senior Sister and I are completely innocent; don't talk nonsense!"
"Ah, it really makes one envious."
Xie Xie continued to add fuel to the fire, deliberately making an exaggerated expression, "With a senior on his left and a Senior Sister on his right, he's truly a winner in life."
"Xie! Xie!"
Tang Wulin could no longer endure it, and his Blue Silver Grass instantly activated from his palm.
Blue Silver Entanglement left Xie Xie unable to move, and he could only pitifully beg for mercy: "Ow, Wu Lin, I was wrong..."
Watching this familiar scene, everyone burst into laughter.
Xie Xie always couldn't control his mouth and ended up being bound by Blue Silver Entanglement, never learning his lesson.
Just as Tang Wulin was about to properly lecture Xie Xie, Fang Yang suddenly spoke up to stop him: "Wu Lin, wait."
"What's wrong?" Tang Wulin looked at Fang Yang in confusion.
Xie Xie, as if grasping a lifesaver, looked eagerly at Fang Yang: "Fang Yang..."
"If you want to lecture Xie Xie, wait until after the competition."
Fang Yang smiled meaningfully, "Conserving stamina is more important now."
Upon hearing this, Xie Xie was struck as if by lightning, and the expression on his face instantly crumpled: "It's over, it's over..."
Tang Wulin nodded understandingly, retracting his Blue Silver Grass, "Then I'll temporarily put it aside. Xie Xie, we'll have a good talk after the competition."
"I'm definitely doomed after the match..." Xie Xie muttered softly, instinctively shivering.
Just then, a clear, cold voice came: "Hello, my name is Ye Xinglan."
Everyone turned their heads to see a golden-haired girl gracefully approaching.
Behind her followed a round-bodied Fatty, who was Xu Lizhi.
Fang Yang was slightly stunned and politely responded: "Hello, I am Fang Yang. May I ask what you need?"
"When we met last time, I could feel that you were not simple."
Ye Xinglan looked directly at Fang Yang, "I look forward to fighting you in the individual competition."
"No problem."
Fang Yang smiled faintly and nodded.
After receiving the reply, Ye Xinglan turned and left decisively.
"Sister Xinglan, wait for me..."
Xu Lizhi hurried to catch up, but as he turned, he glared fiercely at Fang Yang, his eyes filled with venom.
He, Xu Lizhi, and Ye Xinglan were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship was quite good.
Last time he secretly snuck out, he deliberately bumped into Xie Xie.
He pretended to treat them to a meal, but in reality, he intended to make these ordinary academy students pay the bill.
Who knew his plan would be interrupted by the sudden appearance of Ye Xinglan, and in the end, he had to ask a teacher to intervene.
Now, Ye Xinglan had clearly stated she wanted to keep her distance from him, but Xu Lizhi still shamelessly followed her, blaming all the fault on Fang Yang.
Little did he know, it was his own clever trick that completely exposed his despicable nature.
Fang Yang's mental force was incredibly terrifying, and he immediately sensed the malice in Xu Lizhi's eyes.
He thought to himself: "It seems I'll have to deal with him when I have time."
Gu Yue naturally also sensed it, and she transmitted her voice to Fang Yang: "Do you want Bear Lord to deal with him?"
Fang Yang shook his head and transmitted his voice: "There's no need for that. A mere food system Spirit Master can be easily crushed."
Gu Yue nodded slightly upon hearing this.
"Oh? Fang Yang, this is again..." Xie Xie couldn't help but speak again when he saw the situation.
Before he finished speaking, Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan were already staring at Xie Xie simultaneously.
"Xie Xie, I advise you to think carefully." Xu Xiaoyan warned.
Although Gu Yue didn't speak, her cold gaze said it all.
"No... nothing at all." Xie Xie quickly waved his hands in explanation.
"Sigh..."
Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi exchanged helpless glances, long accustomed to Xie Xie's self-destructive personality.
The individual matches then began!
Xie Xie was the first to compete. His opponent was of average strength, and in less than three minutes, he successfully won the match.
When it was Tang Wulin's turn, he displayed overwhelming strength, directly crushing his opponent to victory.
Gu Yue also won easily, demonstrating powerful control abilities.
Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi also took the stage consecutively, both achieving victories.
Not long after, it was finally Fang Yang's turn. He still didn't use his Spirit, winning easily with only his physical strength.
At this moment, Wu Changkong also arrived at Tianhai Stadium.
Watching the Zero Class students' performance, he nodded in satisfaction.
Thus, all of Fang Yang and their individual matches concluded, and they all achieved victories.
"Teacher Wu."
Xu Xiaoyan looked somewhat surprised at the sudden appearance of Wu Changkong.
In the previous three-person team matches, Director Long Hengxu had led the team, so she had thought Teacher Wu wouldn't come.
Fang Yang and the others also noticed Wu Changkong's arrival.
"You all performed well." Wu Changkong commented briefly.
As for the afternoon's three-person team matches, Tang Wulin's group and Gu Yue's group, the two Zero Class teams, once again demonstrated powerful team strength.
They cooperated tacitly, used tactics appropriately, and once again swept their opponents, becoming the focus of the arena.
