Not long after, the battle between Tang Wulin's group and Luo Guixing's group concluded. As in the original story, Tang Wulin's group achieved the final victory and secured a spot in the grade-level competition.
Three days later, the first match was the competition between first-year Class One and second-year Class One. This match garnered significant attention, with several Sea God Pavilion elders, including Ya Li and Cai Yue'er, coming to watch.
Qian Mo, standing by the sparring platform, saw Cai Yue'er, the Silver Moon Douluo with whom he had a considerable conflict, and provocatively winked at her.
Seeing Qian Mo, Cai Yue'er's forehead veins bulged, and her expression was indescribably gloomy. She was already quite old, yet she was grounded and forced to reflect like a primary school student, and had been laughed at by the other elders for who knows how long. Thinking about it now still made her feel ashamed, and all of this was thanks to this junior before her.
But no matter how angry Cai Yue'er was, facing Qian Mo, who was highly regarded by Yun Ming, Ya Li, and many other elders, and who also had a very deep background, she could only swallow her anger and bitterness.
"A Mo!"
A man's and a woman's voices rang out. Qian Mo turned around and saw Le Zhengyu and Yuanen Yehui walking over.
Le Zhengyu darted to Qian Mo's side, draped his left arm over Qian Mo's shoulder, and waved his right hand in front of Qian Mo's face, saying with a playful smile, "How is it, A Mo?"
Qian Mo felt the holy energy hidden in Le Zhengyu's right hand and said with a smile, "That was fast. The right arm Dou Armor is ready."
"Hahaha, I also have to thank my brother for providing the alloy!" Le Zhengyu exclaimed, "Is this the treatment one gets for having a genius blacksmith cousin?"
On the other side, Yuanen Yehui and Gu Yuena looked at each other in silence. There were emotions they couldn't understand in their eyes, and the atmosphere became momentarily frozen.
Noticing this scene, a spark of gossip flashed in Le Zhengyu's eyes. He asked in a low voice, "Hey, A Mo, does this guy Yuanen have Dou Armor?"
"Hmm?" Qian Mo said in confusion, "Aren't you two teammates? You don't know?"
Le Zhengyu spread his hands and said helplessly, "Isn't it said that only villains and women are difficult to deal with? Yuanen has held onto that matter directly until now, unwilling to reveal any of her trump cards to me."
Qian Mo chuckled lightly and said mysteriously, "If Ye Hui is unwilling to say, then I can't say either. You'll have to guess yourself."
"Then I guess, yes, and this trump card has a significant connection with you, Qian Mo." Le Zhengyu said with certainty, "After all, A Mo, you are blinded by lust. Maybe if Yuanen acts a little spoiled with you, you'll give her good things, just like that Ye Xinglan. Can you say that her Dou Armor has nothing to do with you?"
Qian Mo rolled his eyes and kicked Le Zhengyu's butt. "What's wrong with having a good relationship with someone and helping them forge a Dou Armor? However, you did say one thing correctly, Ye Hui's trump card is indeed related to me."
Upon hearing this, Le Zhengyu's eyes lit up, and he said with a laugh, "Then I'm relieved. It seems the probability of us failing is even lower."
Yuanen Yehui avoided Gu Yuena's cold gaze and turned to ask Qian Mo, "A Mo, do you think Tang Wulin and the others have a chance of winning?"
Although Yuanen Yehui didn't think he would lose, to be safe, he still asked Qian Mo first to see if he had any pointers.
Qian Mo pinched his chin, thought carefully, and then shook his head, "Difficult. The probability of Tang Wulin and the others winning is very small."
In the original story, Tang Wulin and the others were able to win by relying on the Spirit fusion skill, Divine Dragon Transformation, of Tang Wulin and Gu Yue.
But now that Gu Yuena is by his side, the Divine Dragon Transformation is out of the question. Moreover, both Yuanen Yehui and Le Zhengyu have improved in strength compared to the original story.
Based on the above, it is even more difficult for Tang Wulin and the others to achieve victory.
Yuanen Yehui nodded, "With your words, I'm relieved."
Qian Mo patted Yuanen Yehui's shoulder and encouraged, "Go for it!"
Yuanen Yehui's face was slightly red, and he left with Le Zhengyu to prepare.
Gu Yuena's purple eyes followed Yuanen Yehui until Qian Mo's hand waved in front of her eyes, and then she came back to her senses.
Qian Mo asked in confusion, "What's wrong? You didn't react when I spoke to you?"
Gu Yuena was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Yuanen is not ordinary towards you."
"Ah? Na'er, how did you see that? We're just very good friends." Qian Mo was stunned for a moment and asked strangely.
Gu Yuena said indifferently, "It's just a feeling."
"A woman's sixth sense? Na'er, you don't have precognitive abilities, don't think too much. Let's go watch the match." Qian Mo put his arm around Gu Yuena's shoulder and led her towards the spectator area.
The match was about to begin. The academy attached great importance to this competition. Ya Li, Cai Yue'er, and many teachers from the first and second years were seated on the main rostrum. The two old men, Zhuo Shi and Feng Wuyu, walked over arguing and pushing each other like two children.
Crimson Dragon Douluo Zhuo Shi and Blazing Dragon Douluo Feng Wuyu had specifically come to the outer court to watch Tang Wulin's match.
"Zhuo Lao, Old Feng," Qian Mo greeted. These two were the most familiar among the Sea God Pavilion elders and had taught him the most for the longest time.
"Hmm, A Mo, are you participating this time?" Feng Wuyu noticed Qian Mo and casually leaned forward to ask.
Qian Mo shook his head, "I won't be participating in this competition against the second year."
Zhuo Shi rolled his eyes with a look of disdain and scolded mercilessly, "You crazy old man have hammered yourself silly. Don't you know A Mo's strength? What's the point of fighting with second-year students? It won't even serve the purpose of training."
Feng Wuyu said angrily, "Get lost! I know perfectly well, you don't need to tell me. I'm purely concerned about A Mo."
The two were old rivals. They even walked onto the main rostrum while arguing. If Ya Li hadn't warned them, they would have continued arguing for a while longer.
Qian Mo was about to leave with Gu Yuena when Ya Li's ethereal and gentle voice sounded in his ear.
"A Mo, you and Na'er come to the main rostrum!"
Qian Mo and Gu Yuena exchanged glances and both went to the main rostrum to sit.
Upon arriving at the main rostrum, under the envious gazes of Zhuo Shi and Feng Wuyu, Gu Yuena sat next to Ya Li, and Qian Mo sat next to Gu Yuena.
On the other side, Xie Xie noticed this scene, poked Tang Wulin with his elbow, and said in surprise, "Boss, look, Qian Mo and Gu Yuena are actually sitting on the main rostrum."
Tang Wulin turned to look and said indifferently, "They are strong and talented, so their status in the academy is naturally special. Besides, I noticed before that their relationship with Saint Spirit Your Majesty is not ordinary."
"Alright, don't focus on these things. Put your attention on the upcoming match."
Everything was ready. Cai Yue'er gave Shen Yi a gesture.
Shen Yi, as the homeroom teacher of first-year Class One, presided over this competition, announced the start of the match, and explained the rules.
