As the fanatics were roaring with 'Ah's for the silver-haired youth in waves, an old man threw up his hands and began 'Ah'-ing on a concealed platform in the corner of a stadium as well.
The old man was obviously extraordinary. He was more than two meters tall and had an imposing build. He wore a white short-sleeved t-shirt and blue colorful beach pants. He even wore flowery slippers at his feet in a bid to look 'fashionable'. It did not seem to match his age that filled his head with white hair. Although he was wearing shades, his facial features were cut sharp. One could still see inklings of an extraordinary handsomeness in his youth. However, on the left side of his face, there was an ugly blade scar that went from his eye down to his mouth, making him look rather threatening. However, the most noticeable feature was the scarlet-red goatee he had!
The red-goateed old man held a cigar in one hand while he waved his other hand high in the sky. With a deep baritone voice, he was going 'Ah'. It sounded dissonant amid the orgasmic screams of the boy-crazy girls. Thankfully, the platform was rather far off, so few people saw such a 'wincing' scene.
Standing beside the red-goateed old man was a middle-aged man. He had turned his head away, and hung an embarrassed expression of 'I do not know this old man' that his shades could not hide. He had a tidy, crew haircut that resembled a safety helmet. He was a standard height of 1.7 meters and he wore a standard suit. However, he looked like a child when standing beside the mighty and gargantuan red-goateed elder.
The middle-aged man in shades very cleverly hid behind the red-goateed old man in a bid to avoid the constant 'piercing' stares from the nearby audience stand.
Only when the fanatics stopped their screaming did the old man cease. The man in shades heaved a sigh of relief and thought to himself.
This great man that could be said to control all of China was indeed extraordinary. Compared to all the fancy schlocks, he was so much 'fancier' and 'cheaper' that it rendered people speechless.
The old man with the red goatee turned around and asked, "Little Li, what's the name of this young man that is as handsome as I was back in my day?"
The man in shades hurriedly 'tumbled' out from behind the old man and gave him a standard military salute and said loudly, "…Li reporting, Sir!" However, his first few words were drowned by the tumultuous roaring from the crowds.
"Fuck your reporting!"
The red-goateed old man hurriedly cut him off and gestured for silence. He looked at the audience stands in a guilty conscience manner before turning back at the man in shades and said solemnly, "Punk, are you trying to expose my identity? Remember, we have to keep a low profile in public. Don't call me sir."
"Yes…"
The man shrunk his neck back and answered softly. He thought to himself, "Sir, so you actually know that there's a need to keep a low profile. Isn't that act of yours from before 'attention seeking'?"
The man with shades complained inwardly but he did not reveal it on his face. Instead, he replied solemnly, "Si…Your Excellency, this silver-haired youth that is as handsome as you when you were young is called Chen…Chen…Chen…"
The man wiped the sweat from his brow and took out a stack of information without a trace. He took a nonchalant glance and with a cough, he said, "Your Excellency, this youth's name is Chen Lingcun!"
The red-goateed man nodded. He had already turned to look at the silver-haired youth, so he had not noticed the man's tiny gesture. He said softly, "Read the information you have obtained."
"Yes, S…"
The man in shades hurriedly curbed his habitual address but the price he paid was him nearly biting his tongue off. As he endured the pain, he looked at the information in his hands and tried to 'recite' it with emotion.
"According to our investigations, Chen Lingcun was not a rookie of the academic faction. He had pulled strings to enroll in an autonomous university just after news of the two-faction collective training was announced; hence, he obtained the qualification to enter the selection tournament. He is quite a mysterious person."
"His exact identity is unknown but compared to comparison analysis, there was a rookie in Gaia's Annihilation division this year named Chen Lingcun as well. He had coincidentally disappeared, so there is a very high probability that the two of them are the same person. The Chen Lingcun in Gaia had a strength that was at the bottom of the barrel. He had a very insignificant presence and almost no rookie in the division has any impression of him."
"If not for detailed records, his disappearance might have been no different from him evaporating into thin air. And this quality is something that matches perfectly with the Chen Lingcun in the selection. However, the difference in strength between the two Chen Lingcuns is like heaven and earth."
"At the selection tournament, other than having a hard time battling Bunny Cao, he had held back in every other match. He did not use his full strength even while battling Mù Yaotian. His offensive skill and movement technique are somewhat special. It does not seem to be in the scope of the psionic cultivation system. A highlight is his immense strength. It's like he has the strength of a dragon or an elephant."
"And the most outstanding thing is his body composition. It's completely invulnerable. His skin is as hard as steel and psionic power can't harm him at all. Ancient internal strength leaves him unscathed. Even mid-grade magic can't hurt him much. He has an extremely high resistance against the seven elements—Water, Fire, Wind, Earth, Lightning, Light, and Darkness."
"According to certain estimations, Chen Lingcun might have cultivated a long-lost body tempering technique. Furthermore, his level is extremely high. On the surface, he is at the tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, but based on his physical constitution, he probably has the strength to fight an expert at the Psionic Soul Realm. It's like he's a humanoid monster."
After hearing the introduction, the old man looked at the silver-haired youth with a ruminative look. He habitually stroked his funny looking goatee with his right hand. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth curved up as a glint seemed to suffuse from under his shades. He said with great certainty, "This child is a dragon."
"Ah?" The man in shades exclaimed. The information did not mention anything about that.
Wait, what did his superior say…dragon?
Dragons were rare and they bordered on being legends. Yet, his superior had said that the silver-haired youth was a dragon. Furthermore, it was a dragon that was in human form?
But with his judgment, it was absolutely impossible for him to make a mistake.
In that case…
The man's expression changed as he could not help but ask, "Sir, should this matter be…"
As the man in shades nearly blurted out the old man's identity due to his shock, he immediately shut up when he received the red-goatee elder's warning stare.
The red-goateed elder sucked at the cigar in his mouth before spewing a cloud of smoke. With a chuckle, he said, "So what if he's a dragon? Isn't he a citizen of China? Pretend that you didn't hear this. In the event this child becomes an evil dragon, I'll slay him personally."
"Yes!"
His subordinate nodded. The only person in China who could so easily mention the slaying of dragons was probably this old man, right?
"Talk about the next one."
In what way did the elder who was sucking at the cigar in delight and spewing clouds of smoke look like he had the capability of slaying a dragon?
The man with shades hurriedly looked down at the stadium. The silver-haired youth had been the first to enter the stadium. A host who came moments later had simply introduced the battle results of the silver-haired youth. Only when the introduction was over did the second rookie walk out of the passageway.
It was a muscular youth with red hair and intricate features. He strode into the stadium with eyes blazing. He was staring intently at the silver-haired youth with eyes burning with a fighting spirit that could not be concealed.
Quite a number of the audience in the stands were cheering for the red-haired youth.
However, he turned a deaf ear to it. Neither did he lift his arms to acknowledge the audience. Instead, he walked straight in front of Chen Lingcun and said solemnly, "After this is over, can you fight another match with me?"
The red-haired youth's voice happened to transmit through the host's microphone, leaving the audience stunned before they broke out into another uproar!
The red-haired youth was regretfully defeated by the silver-haired youth in the semi-finals. It was unexpected that he had regained his fighting spirit so quickly to issue another challenge!
People in the audience who were familiar with the red-haired youth shook their heads as they laughed involuntarily. They revealed an 'as expected' expression.
The man with shades looked at the red-haired youth and similarly a smile suffused on his face. He said to the red-goateed man, "Your Excellency, this red-haired youth is Mù Yaotian, a scion of the famous Mù Global Enterprise that is based in Shanghai. He is also this selection's second-runner up. He is currently studying in Haidan University and has the title of Haidan University's rookie king."
"Other than that, he has a rather interesting nickname as well—"Challenger Mù". According to our investigations, Mù Yaotian has matriculated for less than three months, but he has already challenged third-years and fourth-years more than ten times. His opponents are basically exponents at the Psionic Soul Realm. There were even some Psionic Might Realm experts. He already possesses the strength that is capable of fighting an exponent at the Psionic Soul Realm but he has been tragically defeated under the hands of Psionic Might Realm experts."
"But interesting enough, despite the numerous failures in battles, Mù Yaotian has never shrunk back. After tending his wounds for two days, he would come out again to challenge others the moment he recovers. He eventually forced his seniors at the Psionic Might Realm to collectively avoid him. They would turn and run whenever they see him."
The old man held onto a cigar and spewed out a thick cloud of smoke while hanging a smile on his face. It was unknown if he was appreciating the excellent taste of the cigar or if he found the red-haired youth's personality interesting.
As the man in shades looked at the red-goateed man's expression, he smiled and continued, "Mù Yaotian's talent and strength stand out when compared to other rookies. As he has awakened the offensive A-class superpower, 'Command Over Sand'; hence his cultivation path is focused on his superpower, while the psionic cultivation system is a secondary focus."
"He's considered a Psyker that leans towards superpowers. His superpower development has already reached the second stage. There are few people in the Psionic Mortal Realm that are his match. As a 'Challenge Fanatic', Mù Yaotian has no lack of competitions he has participated in at a young age."
"He is often the champion of small provincial competitions but once it becomes a national competition, he would often encounter Bunny Cao or Speechless Li. Either he gets eliminated early or he would last all the way to the final round but become first runner-up. Even at this year's Beijing secondary school exams, he had oddly ranked second as well. Therefore, he is publicly recognized as 'Runner-up Infinity'."
"At this tournament selection, if not for Chen Lingcun's sudden appearance, Mù Yaotian might have probably clinched first runner-up. It feels as though he was born in the wrong era. However, the more setback Mù Yaotian encounters, the braver he becomes. He has no inkling of Runner-up Infinity. He shows no jealousy, fear, or respect for opponents that have defeated him. Instead, he would challenge them again and again."
While the introduction was undergoing, Mù Yaotian had pleaded for a battle, but the silver-haired youth appeared lazy to bother with him. Even the host was standing by the side, awkwardly introducing Mù Yaotian's battle results.
The old man nodded slightly and said, "Not bad. He's a good seedling."
After the host finished introducing Mù Yaotian, the next rookie walked out of the passageway. Immediately, a deafening roar sounded from the audience stands.
"Princess Xiao Xiao!"
