Chapter 45 What Team 2 can do, Team 1 can do too.
Above Lanzhi Academy, amidst the adoring gazes of countless students, a large, luxurious, fiery red airship landed on the welcoming plaza.
The hatch opened, and a red carpet rolled down.
Upon seeing who was walking out, the crowd erupted in exaggerated screams.
"Wow, it's Lin Feiyan, one of the Ten Heavenly Kings!"
"I can't believe that a prestigious and powerful school like Burning Heaven Academy would actually play a practice match with us."
"Lady Flame Princess, I love you!"
"..."
The girl at the head of the group wore a magnificent robe with the signature flame pattern and had her hair styled in the same signature crimson cascade. She was naturally Lin Feiyan, the captain of the Burning Heaven Academy team and one of the Ten Heavenly Kings of the League.
Following closely beside her were Lin Feiyan's younger sister, Lin Jinlan, and three other team members, plus a team mentor.
"No matter where she goes, her popularity is just as high~"
Lin Jinlan looked around curiously. This was her first time visiting Lanzhi Courtyard. She even playfully winked at the crowd, causing a stir.
"Don't do anything unnecessary." Lin Feiyan's lips moved slightly, and she warned expressionlessly.
She was helpless with her lively but somewhat dim-witted younger sister.
Lin Jinlan chuckled, his eyes still darting around, and said nonchalantly, "Don't say that, there are lots of cute and gentle girls here~"
Seeing that Lin Jinlan was too relaxed, Lin Feiyan had to emphasize in a more serious tone: "Be serious."
Lin Jinlan pouted and said, "Oh, I know, I know. You keep repeating the same thing, I'm so tired of hearing it."
In her opinion, Lin Feiyan was simply suffering for the sake of saving face.
Fearing he might never have the chance to avenge himself against Xue Youyou in the league, he made a point of passing by this place during his prayers in Huanzhou to wash away his shame.
At the other end of the red carpet, Lu Yuan was already standing there quietly waiting.
On his left and right sides stood a tall girl with long, light yellow hair and a little girl with a green ponytail.
One is tall and the other is short; one is composed and the other is arrogant.
Judging solely from the situation within Lanzhi Courtyard, the two were no less famous than Lin Feiyan.
Lin Yueyao was the first in line, and Meng Yanqing was the second.
The two strongest in Lan Zhiyuan on the surface.
They also serve as captains of Team One and Team Two, respectively.
On this special day when the Burning Heaven Academy was there to provide guidance, Lu Yuan naturally showed her utmost sincerity by sending two of her most powerful "generals" to welcome the guests.
However, unlike the frequent excitement that flashed in Lin Yueyao's eyes, Meng Yanqing's displeasure was plainly written on her face.
Meng Yanqing complained in a low voice, "Why can't our chief do this kind of thing? Why do we have to drag me out here to stand on the street?"
Lu Yuan was speechless upon hearing this.
Can greeting guests be called streetwalking? This just drags her into the mess too.
If any other student dared to say such bullshit to her face, she would definitely give them a good thrashing.
But the thought that Meng Yanqing's grandmother was hiding in some corner watching from the shadows made Lu Yuan immediately back down.
When you're in the world of martial arts, you're not always in control of your own destiny. As the saying goes, even if you don't give face to the monk, you still have to give face to the Buddha. Lu Yuan forced a smile and coaxed in a gentle voice, "Don't say that. They specifically asked to play a training match with your second team. As the captain, you have to come and show your respect."
"Eh?"
Meng Yanqing was taken aback upon hearing this, knowing that Xue Youyou was still in the cultivation room. She said, "But Youyou isn't here right now. Is this alright?"
"Huh?" Lu Yuan's eyes widened.
Putting aside the fact that the Burning Heaven Academy's challenge this time was mostly for Xue Youyou, Lord Qingming has already confirmed that he came for this reason.
Both groups came with great fanfare for one person, but after all that, the protagonist was nowhere to be found.
At this moment, Lu Yuan's expression was quite interesting; she had a strong premonition that she was about to suffer a terrible fate.
Lu Yuan asked urgently, "Hey... isn't there any way to get Xue Youyou here right away?"
Meng Yanqing spread her hands, revealing a helpless expression: "She's in seclusion right now, and I haven't been able to contact her for three days. I reckon her communication devices are off."
Upon hearing that Xue Youyou was in seclusion, Lu Yuan's face turned ashen.
Why did she have to choose this time to go into seclusion? It's really going to be the death of her.
Just then, Lin Yueyao, who had been silent all along, suddenly called out to Lu Yuan, "Let our team go!"
"What the second team can do, the first team can definitely do too!"
Unlike before, Lin Yueyao's tone was unusually excited this time.
In fact, she had already been restless three days earlier after learning that the second team had encountered and defeated the first team of the Burning Heaven Academy in a ranking battle.
The second team, which was usually ignored, actually defeated the first team of the Burning Heaven Academy led by Lin Feiyan, one of the Ten Heavenly Kings.
Doesn't this mean that the second team is now much stronger than the first team she leads?
What was supposed to be just a ranking battle has sparked a huge public opinion storm within Lanzhi Academy in the past two days. More and more students believe that the second team is the hope of Lanzhi Academy this year and is the true choice of the team. Some students have even begun to question whether the first team is worthy of its name and believe that the rankings of the two teams should be changed before the league officially begins.
This is absolutely outrageous!
Lin Yueyao naturally couldn't accept it, so she attributed it to the fact that Lin Feiyan's strength was probably not as good as before, and that the Burning Heaven Academy team was all show and no substance, and had completely rotted away.
Today, taking this rare opportunity, she wants to prove to all the teachers and students of Lanzhi Academy—
What the second team can do, the first team she leads can also do!
Moreover, you can win even more beautifully!
Seeing the burning fighting spirit in Lin Yueyao's eyes, Lu Yuan naturally knew what she was thinking. She thought to herself, "The students are so brave, yet I, as the dean, am afraid before even fighting. What kind of talk is that?"
"If the second team can beat the other team, how can the first team be weak? Perhaps under my wise leadership, the overall level of Lanzhi Academy has already improved significantly..."
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan coughed lightly: "Since things have come to this, Lin Yueyao, your team will face them. I will negotiate with them later."
"It wasn't easy to get a match against Burning Heaven Academy this time, we absolutely must do our best to bring honor to Blue Lotus Academy!"
Thinking about the cost involved, Lu Yuan's lips twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
Lin Yueyao's face lit up with joy, and she solemnly promised, "I will definitely not let the academy down!"
When Meng Yanqing was bullied in front of everyone during the training match, she just grumbled on the sidelines without saying much.
Only I, who had just fought Lin Feiyan head-on, truly knew how terrifying her strength was.
Lin Yueyao's skill level is about the same as his own, so it would be strange if she could win.
Since Lin Yueyao wanted to go up and embarrass herself, she couldn't be bothered to stop her.
Of course, only Meng Yanqing herself knows the true desire hidden deep in her heart.
As the six members of the Burning Heaven Academy approached, especially Lin Feiyan, who was in the lead, Meng Yanqing's gaze sharpened.
