Chapter 1096: Chapter 682: Pass, Hold, Choose, and Capture the World’s Attention!
The high platform above the audience.
Xun San’s gaze fell on him, deep as an ancient well on the surface but with hidden meanings beneath.
A hint of urgency, along with expectation and high hopes!
What’s that supposed to mean?
Meng Chuan was puzzled.
He’s not that familiar with Saint Xun, after all...
If Principal Sui were standing there watching.
This gaze would make more sense to Meng Chuan...
After giving him a look, Xun San concealed himself in the clouds, indistinguishable to the naked eye.
It was then that Meng Chuan remembered something:
"I’ve heard Master Baibao mention that Saint Xun is responsible for hosting the alien dragons...
He’s also the one who inquired about the [Pangu Order] for me..."
With this thought, Meng Chuan suddenly realized.
Saint Xun placing high hopes on him must have something to do with what he said to the alien dragons...
It seems, besides Principal Sui’s reputation, he also has to uphold Saint Xun’s reputation in front of the alien dragons...
On the commentary stand, Dong Xin continued enthusiastically:
"Today’s showdown is presented to you by ’Artisan Creations.’ The Artisan Creations Group is always committed to...
Meanwhile, thanks to ’Dragon Blood Gene’ for providing cutting-edge life gene engineering support for this competition. Exploring the boundaries of potential, forging eternal foundations.
Special thanks to ’Hanhai Technology’ for their generous sponsorship...
The match is about to begin, and it’s finally time for the sponsor naming segment.
Shen Shuo calculated the seconds, noting the introduction to Hanhai took just 5 seconds, though the company spent nearly a billion...
By this measure, Meng Chuan’s earlier publicity was genuinely profitable!
Reflecting on his earlier actions, Shen Shuo secretly relished:
"This kid has some conscience, even helping the company advertise..."
Shamelessness has its perks, who told Dong Xin to walk right into it?
...
After the advertisement segment ended, Dong Xin handed the microphone to the top commentator, Wang Yang.
Wang Yang stood to introduce the competition rules, seriously saying:
"The semi-final round of this Beijing Ring Competition is formally starting, firstly, please allow me to introduce the rules for this match to the audience and contestants.
The Beijing Ring Competition is divided into two stages, starting with the highly anticipated Overlord Challenge!"
As soon as this was announced.
The seating, whether for contestants or the audience, erupted in cheers.
Everyone had been waiting for this!
Beside him, Dong Xin adjusted her state and continued:
"The rules for the Overlord Challenge phase are as follows.
If contestants wish to challenge the overlord, please raise your contestant identity card with the red light on, indicating a ’tentative’ status.
Those not wishing to challenge, light up the green light for ’pass’ status.
Contestants in the ’tentative’ status will stay in the contestant area, awaiting the start of the Overlord Challenge phase, while those in ’pass’ status please move to the waiting area to rest, and their identity card is locked, unable to change back to red light ’tentative’ status.
The Overlord Challenge phase will have the background intelligence randomly select contestants with red light ’tentative’ identity, without human interference, subject to supervision.
The selection phase for the second round of the World Youth Martial Arts Championships final will commence once all contestants’ identity cards turn to ’pass’!
Alright, contestants, please make your first identity choice within ten seconds!
As the words fell, the contestants who understood Dong Xin’s words fell silent.
Everyone looked down at their own contestant identity cards, thoughts fluctuating.
"Again, reminding everyone, once you choose the green light ’pass’ status, the identity cannot be changed."
Originally, there was no such phrase in the teleprompter.
Dong Xin, recalling Meng Chuan’s earlier actions, sought a little vengeance...
Without much thought, if everyone wanted to challenge, they’d choose the red ’tentative’ identity card.
And who would they aim the challenge at?
Of course, it would be Meng Chuan!
Just as she predicted.
In the contestant area, nearly every contestant set their sights on Meng Chuan, making him feel a bit uncomfortable...
Not out of fear, but because being stared at up close by nearly a thousand pairs of eyes was rather... never mind.
Meng Chuan simply closed his eyes, out of sight, out of mind, contemplating the ’True Martial Principle.’
Those who praised him, he might not remember.
But who jumped most in the contestant area, who most deserved a beating, who just insulted him.
Master Meng had already committed it to memory...
Each of them, just wait...
...
Meanwhile, those gazes directed at him also contained more than just raw desire, filled with considerable conflict and hesitation.
Without Dong Xin’s reminder, many would choose green light pass.
As the hidden overlord identity was revealed, many spoke recklessly in the heat of the moment...
Truly pitting them against Meng Chuan on stage, they felt a bit shaky inside...
His reputation precedes him.
More than half a year ago, Meng Chuan could defeat Bo Gang, the third-stage Divine Son of the Cosmos’ alligator dragon race.
With his martial arts talent, his current strength is probably another level higher.
What is the concept of Bo Gang Divine Son?
The audience might not know, but these Martial Arts Masters certainly know full well!
Nearly a thousand people present are the cream of the Martial Arts Masters.
Yet few dare claim they can definitely surpass Bo Gang!
Northern United University’s Chen Jing and others were the first to choose ’pass,’ lighting up the green light.
"Xiaomeng, go for it!"
"True Inheritance, crush these basket of dogs!"
"A bunch of people who look down on others, True Inheritance, give them a little shock!"
Meng Chuan stood up, smiling as he clasped his fists towards Chen Jing and the others below.
Dong Xin’s voice rang out:
"The Northern United University is very united, ah; the Northern United University contestants have unanimously chosen ’pass,’ let’s see what choices other contestants will make."
The audience booed loudly.
From the Overlord high platform, Meng Chuan finished sending his peers off and returned to the Black Obsidian Throne.
