An hour passed amidst the boisterous banter of everyone.
The referee stepped onto the stage again and announced, "The second round of the competition will now begin. Team captains can choose their opponents freely for battle." With that, he descended from the stage.
"Later, you two will follow me up and learn from me. With this cowardly demeanor, how can you be good leaders to benefit your juniors?" Lin Zhan lectured Ying Xuan and Zhang Haoran.
"Captain, be serious and learn from senior Lin."
"Senior Brother, you too. Look, even He Dazhuang found such a beautiful girlfriend. We, as your junior brothers, are still single dogs because you, as our elder brother, are incompetent."
Ying Xuan said helplessly, "Damn it, are you still going to dwell on this matter?"
Adam Sole from America, the Indian Buddhist disciple, and the Holy Son Lian Jue from the Papal State stepped onto the stage. "After unanimous agreement from our three teams, we demand fifteen spots. Does anyone have an objection?"
"Let's go, follow me onto the stage. You want fifteen spots? We'll give you fifteen coffins!" Lin Zhan swaggered onto the stage with Ying Xuan and Zhang Haoran, his steps unhurried.
"Are you still asleep or is your brain malfunctioning? You want fifteen spots? I'll give you fifteen coffins, how about that?" Lin Zhan pointed directly at Adam Sole's nose and cursed.
"You..."
"What about me? Don't you understand human language? Come on, if you can fight, don't just bicker." As he spoke, Lin Zhan waved his hand and summoned Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei.
"What's up, boss? Who are we fighting?" Xiao Jin, upon appearing, recognized the situation and knew a fight was imminent.
Adam Sole and the other two were startled by the sudden appearance of these two colossal beasts. No wonder, Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei, just by their size, didn't seem like Silver-level spiritual beasts. One was a golden dragon python over 18 meters long, and the other was a massive black turtle over 10 meters, exuding the aura of peak Gold level.
"Xiao Jin, Xiao Hei, grab your gear! If those three idiots opposite us dare to talk back, just kill them."
Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei instantly activated their rune armaments. The series of actions stunned everyone present.
"Turtles and snakes can wear armor now?"
"What kind of operation is this? It looks expensive."
Xiao Hei, clad in ferocious armor, approached Adam Sole. "What are you looking at? Boss said you talk too much, always causing trouble."
"Forget it, it's because we're good people. Now I declare the Hundred Schools League officially concluded." Lin Zhan, carrying his blade, walked off the stage with his two spirit pets and Ying Xuan and Zhang Haoran.
The referee, with a resigned sigh, walked back onto the stage. "The Hundred Schools League... forget it, I won't say any more. It's already been announced.
Contestants for the secret realm, please be prepared. In two days at 8 AM, you will be escorted by human experts to the secret realm entrance."
"I will never let Lin Zhan off! The humiliation I suffered today must be washed away with his blood," Adam Sole said, his face ashen.
"And that turtle and that snake, along with Ying Xuan and Zhang Haoran. In short, all the Chinese teams must die, not a single one left."
"Donor, please refrain from anger. Speak after you've achieved it, otherwise, you're just bragging." The Indian Buddhist disciple's words stunned both of them. Which side was this idiotic monk on?
The Holy Son of the Roman Papal State spoke, "Our Lord-level experts will arrive tomorrow and will escort us to the secret realm. Until then, we must be patient."
"Nine spots, three for each of us. I believe your teams also have those special experts. Once we enter the secret realm and are outside the surveillance of the human experts, it will be Lin Zhan's and their demise."
