The next morning, the arena was packed with people, the noise was deafening.
Tianshui Academy's Luo Yu had first crushed Elephant Armor Academy like a demon descending from heaven, then seven stunningly beautiful girls had swiftly defeated Blazing Fire Academy. This undoubtedly ignited the enthusiasm of the nobles and commoners of Tiandou City.
Tickets for Tianshui Academy's matches skyrocketed, reaching a point where they were practically priceless, while tickets for other matches were constantly being refunded. It seemed that after watching Tianshui's matches, the battles of other teams looked utterly uninteresting.
"Those relatives who went to watch yesterday went back and bragged to me about how exciting the matches were, how beautiful the girls were, it made me so angry," a young man in fine clothes said regretfully from the stands.
A voice echoed from the side, "The main problem is that I had no idea beforehand that these goddesses from Tianshui Academy were going to dance, otherwise I would have definitely snagged a ticket yesterday."
"Tch, you bunch of lecherous scoundrels, what are women to you? I'm different from you guys. I'm waiting for that guy to make his move. If he's a substitute again today, I'll cry."
Hearing the disdainful and sarcastic voice, surprisingly no one around retorted.
In Douluo Continent, strength reigns supreme. Luo Yu's unparalleled, heaven-defying strength, coupled with his peerless good looks, not only conquered female audiences but also earned him the utmost respect from many men.
"Will he perform today?"
Someone's face revealed a mixture of anticipation and nervousness. Anticipation was understandable, but nervousness stemmed from the fear that Luo Yu would continue to remain a substitute.
In the waiting area, Luo Yu sat in his wheelchair with his head down, both amused and exasperated. Shui Yue'er was squatting there, carefully massaging his legs.
"Yue'er, you don't need to do that!"
"Brother Yu, this is a massage technique I specially learned. It can help loosen up your leg muscles and bones."
"My leg injury isn't due to a physical injury."
Shui Yue'er rolled her eyes and pouted, scolding, "Whether it's an injury or not, you haven't moved around for so long. You need to loosen up your muscles and bones and improve your blood circulation."
In the end, Luo Yu couldn't resist Shui Yue'er's kindness. The beautiful girl squatted there and stretched out her soft, fair hands to massage the man's legs. She probably didn't think anything of it, but to outsiders, the scene caused an uproar.
"How can my goddess squat in front of someone and smile while giving that man a massage?" A man's groan came from outside the scene.
A spirited yet innocent-looking young girl stepped forward and said disdainfully, "What are you so sour about? When you have her strength and looks, I'll kneel down and massage your legs."
Many men in the audience began to look resentfully at Luo Yu in the wheelchair. "This kid's visit to Tiandou City is no small matter; I'm afraid the standards for choosing a partner in Tiandou City will rise for a long time to come."
"Brother Yu, are you planning to play today?" Shui Yue'er asked, looking up.
Without hesitation, Luo Yu said, "Let's see which team we drew before I decide."
Ning Rongrong leaned over from the side, "These teams in the Tiandou City division shouldn't need Brother Yu's help, right? We can definitely handle them all."
Luo Yu shook his head, "No team will show their strength openly, you can't be careless."
Shui Yue'er squatted down, her slender legs in stockings under her short skirt bent together, patting her small chest and assuring him, "Brother Yu, you can rest down here, just watch our performance up here, we definitely won't lose."
The emcee on the stage used a megaphone to shout loudly, "Tiandou City Division Preliminary Round 3, Match 2: Tianshui Academy vs. Canghui Academy!"
"Whoosh!"
The entrance of their favorite team should have been exciting, but instead, a chorus of disappointed boos came from the stage, though not directed at Tianshui Academy.
"What kind of lousy academy is Canghui?"
"Never heard of them."
"Oh no, this kind of unknown weak team definitely won't be able to provoke my idol."
"Even if they sent all the girls, they'd probably just crush them instantly, no entertainment at all."
Faced with the boos from the stage, the teachers and students of Canghui Academy exchanged smiles, seemingly not only not dissatisfied, but also a little excited and relieved.
The captain of Canghui was definitely no more than twenty-five years old, but he looked older than his age, like a thirty-year-old middle-aged man.
Hearing that this round was against Tianshui Academy, he quickly made team adjustments, calling in four substitutes to replace the main players from the first two rounds.
The substitute hesitated, "Captain, is it alright for us to reveal our trump card so early?"
Captain Cang Hui whispered slyly to his six teammates, "Our goal in this regional qualifier isn't to win first place, but simply to secure one of the five spots in the finals."
"If we can defeat Tianshui Academy, who beat the other teams, we'll not only become famous overnight, but even if we lose two or three matches later, we should still be able to secure a top-five ranking."
"I've observed Tianshui Academy closely; their players aren't particularly skilled in mental power. We should be able to take them down with our trump card."
"Captain, those level 40 girls from Tianshui are tough to deal with, but we're confident we can use our trump card. But have you forgotten about that monster who took on seven opponents?"
Captain Cang Hui chuckled mischievously, "Did you hear the boos from the audience? The more they look down on us, the more opportunities we have to play dumb. That guy didn't even play in the last match, and facing a team that looks even weaker than Chihuo Academy, he'll definitely be watching from the sidelines.
" "Captain is brilliant, hehehe." Several team members let out smug chuckles.
Captain Cang Hui raised his head and said, "If that guy doesn't play, and those girls take advantage of the audience's boos to make them careless again, we'll easily win this match."
A tall, thin team member next to him said urgently, "Tianshui will never expect that we have such an overpowered trump card hidden inside. They'll probably regret it when they lose to us."
"No, they'll regret it to the core."
Captain Cang Hui waved his hand, "Skill alone is useless, we need to use our brains. Isn't Tianshui arrogant? Let's pour cold water on them and show them what it means to be arrogant and get hurt."
Scanning the audience's constant boos directed at Cang Hui, one team member sneered, "These idiots in the audience, they don't know what's what. Just wait until we take down Tianshui Academy, they'll be dumbfounded, hahaha."
Captain Cang Hui raised his hand to stop the discussion, "Shh!" " Don't be too flamboyant, everyone. Act a bit dejected first so they don't suspect anything. Once you're on stage, act like you're weak and wait for the referee's signal before striking swiftly and defeating them."
"Captain, your move is so cunning! I admire you!"
Captain Cang Hui seemed excited, glancing at Tianshui with a veiled look. "Brothers, I'm not bragging, but even though my skills aren't top-tier, my brains alone can lead you to the finals."
The tall, thin teammate looked towards Tianshui Academy's waiting area and asked warily, "Captain, you said they're definitely strong enough to make it to the finals. If we defeat them this time, won't they retaliate?" Captain
Cang Hui slapped his head. "Are you stupid? We've already won big this time. We can brag about it for the rest of our lives. If we meet them in the finals and that guy comes up, we'll just concede."
"If they win the championship, our team, the only one to have ever defeated them, will go down in history." Captain Cang Hui grinned excitedly, feeling victory was already in his grasp.
The other six team members also looked excited.
"Brothers, get ready to go on stage! Don't forget to give them a good performance, catch them off guard, and give these ignorant spectators a shocking surprise!"
