The next day.

Once the news of the competition’s restructuring was exposed, it caused a heated discussion in society.

Some people were optimistic about this, and they were even looking forward to the upcoming exciting competition.

After the world changed, sports competitions between countries were canceled.

In the past few decades, although there were still exchanges between domestic and foreign countries, there had never been a similar international competition.

However, while everyone was celebrating, there was also a small group of people who were secretly sarcastic.

“Among the contestants from the Lighthouse Country, there’s Thunder God of War Leo! Once he comes, there won’t be any other contestants, right?”

“I’m afraid that he’ll give the championship trophy to another country in the end!”

“Not very optimistic about that… The Thunder God of War’s strength is not for show. He hasn’t reached the fourth reincarnation yet, but he has defeated opponents of a higher level than him several times!”

“Except for the Thunder War of God. The contestants from the Northern European countries, especially [Angel]! They are not to be trifled with.”

“Little Cherry Blossom’s hidden role, Ninja Sound, is not to be underestimated! I really don’t understand why the higher-ups would do this! Our country’s people below the fourth reincarnation cannot be compared to them!”

Their negative comments naturally caused dissatisfaction among the netizens.

For a moment, the Internet was filled with dissatisfactory comments.

Xu Yuan spent the next few days in a hotel in the stadium.

The higher-ups of the Dragon Country reactivated the former stadium to accommodate contestants from all over the world.

When the day of the competition approached, the contestants would be teleported to Zhonghai together to participate in the opening ceremony.

“I’m currently cultivating with Sister Yue!” Lin Mucheng’s voice and the whistling sound of the wind were transmitted through the radio waves.

“When the competition starts, Sister Yue and I will go to Zhonghai together to cheer for you!”

“Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore! The hunt is about to begin. I’ll hang up first. Bye!” After saying that, she hung up the phone.

Perhaps Xu Yuan’s outrageous exam results had stimulated her, but she was now filled with high morale and vowed to compete with Xu Yuan in the next exam!

Xu Yuan smiled as he put away his phone. He looked at the time, then put on his slippers and headed to the cafeteria.

Every day was so boring.

After the secret conversation with Liu Anhe that day, Xu Yuan never saw the old man again.

And the Luo family’s trying to frame Xu Yuan didn’t seem to have caused much of a stir. That old man was very mysterious, and perhaps he had already resolved the matter without telling Xu Yuan.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.

The stadium was getting more and more lively. Almost all the contestants had arrived.

The day after tomorrow would be the opening ceremony of the international competition.

Xu Yuan had met a lot of players from other countries in recent days, as well as young talents from other parts of the country.

“Xu Yuan, come here!”

When he went to the cafeteria to eat, Xu Yuan was looking for an empty seat after picking up his food when he heard someone shouting loudly.

The person who shouted was a new friend of Xu Yuan, Jiang Yingshu.

There were a few people sitting with Jiang Yingshu. They were also people whom he had met before. Usually, when they met, they could exchange a few pleasantries.

Xu Yuan brought the plate over and sat down.

“Today, that guy…” Jiang Yingshu was a chatterbox. As soon as he sat down, he said eloquently, “The Thunder God of War has also arrived!”

[Thunder God of War] Leo from the Lighthouse Country.

When Xu Yuan was free, he also searched online and watched some videos about this person.

This guy was a dual-role player, a Berserker and a Lightning Mage. His fighting style was similar to the Thunder God in Norse mythology.

The only difference was…

The weapon this person used was not a sledgehammer. Instead, it was a legendary-grade spear wrapped in lightning.

“This guy is very strong!” Jiang Yingshu rubbed his fists. “If it wasn’t for the fact that the organizing committee didn’t allow it, I would really like to have a few moves with him!”

Jiang Yingshu was a Greatsword Knight, third reincarnation, level 65.

The remaining people at this table were also at the third reincarnation.

The only exception was Xu Yuan.

After being brought to the Imperial Capital by Old Liu’s son, he had not leveled up. He was still at level 37.

He didn’t really care about such a pitiful level – Xu Yuan, who scored more than 7000 points in the provincial mock exam, was no ordinary person!

The special role of Treasure Chest Merchants was not a secret in the current Dragon Country.

Since he was able to sit here, it meant that the official judges thought that he had the qualifications to participate in the competition.

“Speak of the devil!”

Jiang Yingshu raised his head and said, “That guy… He’s here!”

The few people at the table quickly raised their heads, wanting to meet the most popular person on the Internet.

[Thunder God of War] Leo Yodecker; He was nearly two meters tall, and his muscles were tight. He looked mighty and brave.

His elegant blonde hair draped over his well-defined cheeks, slightly fluttering as he walked, showing a hint of unruliness.

“Miss Su!” The boy leaned forward slightly and followed closely behind a tall woman. “Miss Su, I’ve booked a table at the best restaurant in the Imperial Capital. I hope you’ll do me the honor.”

Xu Yuan’s gaze fell on the woman’s face.

She was indeed a very beautiful woman. Her skin was as fair as snow, and her facial features were as exquisite as a painting.

The most eye-catching thing about her was her pair of eyes, which were indescribably clear.

At the corner of her eyes, there was a faint mole on her face.

Xu Yuan’s eyes immediately narrowed.

He recalled a certain someone’s description, especially… Her eyes were especially good-looking. She looked very indifferent, but she was especially radiant. People could not look away at first glance. Oh right, there was a mole at the corner of her eye. It was very attractive! Very sexy!

Xu Yuan initially thought that the archer’s description was very abstract.

However, when he saw this woman, he immediately made a comparison.

He laughed and said, “Could it be that the mysterious person from that day was you?!”

“You b*stard!” Jiang Yingshu exclaimed, “What a sharp eye! She just arrived today, and you’ve already taken a fancy to Goddess Su Mo!”

“Su Mo? Do you know her?” Xu Yuan asked calmly.

“I do!” Jiang Yingshu said, “She is my senior at the university. She is one year older than me. She’s one of the top ten most beautiful campus belles in the history of Hai University!”

“You b*stard. You won’t get angry out of embarrassment after being rejected and then attack Goddess Su, right?” Although Jiang Yingshu sounded worried, his expression was extremely excited. It was obvious that he had already outlined the image of a hero saving a damsel in distress in his mind.

“Is she also a contestant?” Xu Yuan asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Yingshu nodded and said, “It seems like she deliberately delayed the fourth reincarnation ceremony for this competition.”

Xu Yuan said, “Oh.” His gaze was fixed on Goddess Su Mo.

Her expression was cold. After rejecting the Thunder God of War’s invitation, she quickly left the place.

The golden-haired man looked annoyed.

He kept turning his head and looked around sneakily.

Soon, his eyes lit up and he ran toward a petite girl.

“Miss, may I have the honor of treating you to lunch?” His face was sincere, and his words were extremely gentlemanly. “Please forgive my rudeness. You’re really too beautiful. I think, at first glance I already…”

Jiang Yingshu and the others were dumbfounded.

This guy.

His was really shameless!
