Chapter 127: Heavy Burden
This highly significant opening match concluded with a result that shocked everyone present.
Something was off.
Very off...
At this moment, whether it was the audience from the Dragon Nation or the other races, all eyes were on Wang Chen.
This guy...
Just now, he erupted with extremely surprising combat power, defeating a God-Blessed Shield of over ninety levels in one fell swoop.
Now.
On the stage.
When the members of the Centaur Empire's team were healed by the medical team, they could only get up dejectedly.
Bazil looked up at the audience of his Centaur Empire.
He saw that his fellow centaurs were looking at them with extremely cold eyes.
Deep in their pupils, there was boundless disappointment and disdain.
Obviously.
Losing the first match, and losing to the race they most despised, made the audience of the Centaur Empire very disappointed and dissatisfied.
The key is...
The opponent seemed to be the weakest team among all the colleges in the Dragon Nation.
Losing like this was utterly embarrassing.
Moreover, the audience of the Centaur Empire was also being mocked by the other races' audience.
"It seems that your proud Cons Academy of the Centaur Empire is not much, huh..."
"Yeah, they can't even beat Xuanyuan Academy!"
"Losing is good; it saves them from embarrassing themselves later. Now that they've lost, the other teams can still make a comeback!"
"We can only say that your Centaur team is really weak! A captain over ninety levels was taken down by a level seventy Beast Tamer using personal strength! It's embarrassing to say it out loud!"
"....."
The audience of the Centaur Empire could only grit their teeth and swallow their anger.
In all the major empires, strength is the highest regard.
And, in their eyes, the strong should humiliate the weak.
This is an eternal and unchanging truth.
The failed weak can only be mocked by others.
They don't even have the capital to refute others.
"Damn it..."
At this moment, the members of the Centaur team were also bowing their heads, gritting their teeth, clenching their fists, feeling very unwilling to lose.
Of course, it was also because they lost so badly.
The other side rushed them with four people right at the start.
This was not treating them as people at all.
When they return home, they will likely face even greater ridicule.
This is also normal.
Whether it's the audience or netizens, they ultimately like the bright and shiny you.
When you win, they will love everything about you.
But when you fail, all your previous glorious achievements will be worthless, and in their eyes, you who have embarrassed the country and the academy, are just despicable.
"It's a pity, actually, if we had changed our positions, the other side wouldn't have been able to deal with us!"
"Indeed, mainly because our double assassin lineup didn't get to play, we were watched too closely!"
"Sigh, it's useless to say anything now..."
The centaurs shook their heads.
Bazil sighed and took the initiative to take responsibility, "Actually, it's my fault. I was frightened by their four-person rush. I thought they were going to instantly kill me, so I didn't use the taunt skill on them..."
At that moment, Bazil chose to raise his shield in defense.
If he had chosen to use the taunt skill on the four of them, even if it meant taking some damage, the result might have been different.
After all, with the taunt skill, the four of them would have been forced to attack him, unable to reach the backline.
"Alright, enough said, reflect on yourselves, and sit down."
At this moment.
The leading teacher of Cons Academy came to the stage and waved his hand, asking them to quickly return to their seats.
Losing is losing.
There are not so many "ifs."
Actually, these centaurs still couldn't see one point.
That is Wang Chen's terrifying personal strength.
Even if Bazil had forcibly held off Meng Yongsheng, Shen Miao, and the other four, who could be sure that the two assassins would definitely succeed in assassinating Wang Chen?
Compared to the disappointed other races' audience.
The Dragon Nation's audience was quite happy and lively.
Regardless of Xuanyuan Academy's overall strength.
As long as this team wasn't eliminated at the start, it was great, and they secured the first victory for the Dragon Nation, which was commendable.
Of course...
The audience was happy but didn't dare to blindly praise. They could only say that Wang Chen indeed had some skills!
It seemed Xuanyuan Academy wouldn't be at the bottom.
"Wonderful!"
"Congratulations on winning the first match!"
Teacher Gu Lan also smiled and praised the returning students without any hesitation.
In her eyes, with Wang Chen around, the Xuanyuan Academy team would definitely not stop at just one victory.
"Teacher, you're too kind. It's all thanks to Wang Chen's excellent command."
Shen Miao, the quirky girl, grinned and said.
"Indeed, Wang Chen commanded well, completely countering the double assassin lineup." Cao Wenbin nodded and said.
As a fragile mage in the back row, he was most afraid of assassins.
Especially with the other side's double assassin lineup.
One can imagine, without Wang Chen's command and choosing to play it safe, he, as a mage, would have been targeted from start to finish.
In such a situation, he would have been very uncomfortable.
And the priest Zhou Keke would feel the same.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The double assassin lineup is a nightmare for all fragile players.
Unexpectedly, at the start, Wang Chen still gave the order to charge.
"We can only say that this guy is not only a beast master genius but also a command genius!"
"When he goes to the Abyss Continent and enters the Rift Battlefield, he won't be just a general."
Meng Yongsheng also sighed.
"Alright, keep your emotions for later. There are thirty-two teams in total. Today, we need to determine the top eight, and tomorrow we'll decide the champion."
"The two-day schedule is tight."
"Rest well and get ready for the next round in the afternoon."
"Be sure to make it to the top eight!"
Teacher Gu Lan encouraged.
"Don't worry, Teacher Gu Lan. With Wang Chen here, there's no problem!"
Shen Miao patted her chest and said.
To this.
Wang Chen felt a bit helpless.
These guys...
They were putting all the burden on him as the commander, without considering if he could bear it.
......
The competition continued.
On the stage, the commentators announced the matchups after the draw.
"Next, the second match!"
"Winter Academy from the Dragon Nation against Tanding Academy from the Demon Empire!"
"Another exciting match!"
"Please welcome both teams to the stage!"
As the announcement ended.
A group of incredibly tall, but particularly ferocious-looking professionals walked onto the stage.
