#454 - Chapter 453 Will Win
At the entrance of the Power Nurturing Platform, a group of men and women with extraordinary bearing slowly walked out, casually looking around, like princes in a palace, their brows filled with an undisguisable noble aura.
These people were the descendants of the three major consortia of the Northern Federation.
"There are so many people here. If we lose, the three of us will probably be scolded on the forum. The pressure is immense!" A fair-skinned young man with a refreshing appearance laughed.
This man was named Li Yu'an, a direct descendant of the third generation of the Li Consortium, and also the current leader of the Li faction in Star Plucking Academy.
Standing beside him were two others, one with thick eyebrows and large eyes, and a burly figure, and the other was the opposite, with a slender figure and distinct facial features, but fortunately, his shoulders were wide enough, so he didn't look weak.
The former was named Zhou Xian, and the latter was named Ying Gu. Like Li Yu'an, they were both leaders of the other two major consortia in Star Plucking Academy.
"What? Do you think we will lose?" Zhou Xian chuckled.
Li Yu'an replied, "I heard that Li Chenqiu's ability to bypass restrictions is very strong. It's normal for me to worry!"
Zhou Xian glanced at Li Yu'an contemptuously, "If you're worried about losing, you can go back now. Anyway, whether you're here or not, the result of the arena competition won't change."
Li Yu'an sneered, "That's a harsh thing to say. Don't fall in the gutter when the time comes, and need Ying Gu and I to back you up…"
Ying Gu raised his hand, "Interrupting, if Zhou Xian loses, I won't go up."
Hearing this, the corner of Li Yu'an's mouth twitched slightly, his face indescribably ugly.
The older generation of the Ying family was already cautious enough, how come the younger generation is so cautious too?
"Hahaha!"
Zhou Xian laughed, clapped his hands, took a big step forward, turned his back to the two and said, "You two are both talented people! Lose? Back you up? Is that possible?"
Li Yu'an's expression gradually turned cold, "I'm reminding you, that Li Chenqiu is not a simple character. Underestimating the enemy is not a good habit."
"Underestimate?" Zhou Xian spread his hands, "I don't think a kid who is two restrictions lower than me is qualified to be my enemy."
Li Yu'an's face showed a surprised expression, "Two restrictions? Could it be that you have broken through to the eighth restriction?"
Zhou Xian did not reply, but directly turned around, walked towards the west stands with his hands behind his back, and the other Zhou disciples hurriedly followed.
Watching Zhou Xian's departing back, a deep look of fear flashed in Li Yu'an's eyes.
Zhou Xian led his people to stand in front of the west stands, his sharp eyes roughly swept across everyone's faces, like a supreme king.
The students sitting in the front row quieted down, honestly sitting in their seats, looking at Zhou Xian with awe.
In the back of the stands, Xiang Nanzhi leaned her body slightly to the left and whispered, "This guy is at the eighth restriction, and he's the strong type, not the newly broken through type. You have to be careful!"
"Oh."
"What's with that attitude?"
"Your reminder is just too timely. If you hadn't said that, I might have lost this arena competition. I sincerely thank you," Li Chenqiu said in a low voice, with a sincere attitude.
Xiang Nanzhi: ( ̄(工) ̄)
"Who is Li Chenqiu?"
Just then, Zhou Xian, standing under the stage, shouted loudly in a very casual manner.
No one responded.
"What? You don't even dare to stand up?" Zhou Xian frowned in displeasure.
"Um…" A student sitting in the front row raised his hand, "Li Chenqiu doesn't seem to be here yet."
"Not here?" Zhou Xian raised his eyebrows in surprise, turned his head and asked the person next to him, "What time is it now?"
The man looked at his watch and replied respectfully, "Brother Xian, it's seven thirty-eight."
"Ah? It's almost eight o'clock and he's not here yet?" Zhou Xian's face showed a surprised expression.
"Maybe he knows he's going to lose and doesn't want to come!" A student sitting in the front row flattered.
"I think so too. He's just a sixth restriction cultivator. It's normal to be timid in the face of a top Heavenly Chosen like Senior Zhou!" Someone immediately echoed.
Zhou Xian turned his head and gave the two people an appreciative look, then shouted to the people behind him without turning his head, "Since Li Chenqiu is not here, let's find a place to sit and wait for him!"
"Okay."
"We'll listen to Brother Xian."
"I hope that kid Li Chenqiu doesn't act like a tortoise and make us come here for nothing."
Just as the group was about to turn around and leave, a bold student stood up and asked loudly, "Senior Zhou, Li Chenqiu is very strong, are you confident in winning him?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Xian and the others stopped in their tracks and turned their heads to look at the speaker.
"Kid, do you know…"
Someone was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhou Xian raising his hand.
In everyone's expectant eyes, Zhou Xian smiled calmly and said, "I will win."
As soon as the words fell, he turned around and left.
A few seconds later, the students in the front row cheered and jumped up from their seats, the excited emotions spreading rapidly to the back like a wave.
"Senior Zhou said so, we are bound to win this arena competition!!!"
"Hahaha, Li the Skinflint tried to fleece us in the end, but instead of fleecing our star points, he had his Disciplinary Chief's clothes fleeced, hahaha!"
"Calamity Chenqiu, with the appearance of a human, but doing inhuman things, expel him from Star Plucking, everyone is responsible!"
…
Zhou Xian led his people to sit down on the east stands, sitting in the same row as the teams led by Li Yu'an and Ying Gu.
"Hey!" Zhou Xian propped his hands on his knees and shouted with his head tilted.
Instantly, the people of the other two major consortia turned their heads to look at him.
"What's the matter?" Li Yu'an asked indifferently.
Zhou Xian stood up and said in a commanding tone, "We, the Zhou family, want Li Chenqiu. You just watch the show obediently, understand?"
Ying Gu honestly replied, "Okay."
Then, Zhou Xian looked at Li Yu'an, waiting for the other party's reply.
Li Yu'an said nonchalantly, "Since you want to be the vanguard, then go ahead, but remember to be careful, don't fall."
"Instead of worrying about me falling, you should think about how to break through the eighth restriction!"
"Hmph!" Li Yu'an snorted coldly, turned his head and stopped talking.
Zhou Xian glanced at the other party contemptuously, sat back in his seat, and waved his hand at the same time.
In the next second, the people sitting next to Zhou Xian stood up and squatted in front of him.
"Do you remember what I told you?" Zhou Xian leaned forward slightly.
"Remember, after going on stage, quickly lose, to highlight Li Chenqiu's strength!"
Zhou Xian nodded in satisfaction, "Very good, remember not to reveal any flaws. After it's done, you will get a lot of benefits!"
"Thank you, Brother Xian!"
"After this, Brother Xian will definitely become famous in Star Plucking, overwhelm Li Yu'an and Ying Gu, become an idol in the hearts of the students, and win this year's Star Child!"
"I congratulate Brother Xian in advance!"
"Okay, okay, stop flattering me, go back and sit down!" Zhou Xian waved his hand, his grinning mouth exposing his heart filled with joy.
