My life has the gift of growth.

Chapter 143 The finals of Longzhou Wugao High School begins!
“Dear guests, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Huanglong Martial Arts Arena.

Fifteen martial kings and seven martial saints were born in this historic venue, and each of them left behind his own legendary story here.

Now, for the first time, this land has welcomed a group of younger and more promising young people.

One of them came from the eastern part of Longzhou. They believed in the mythical beast Bai Ze and were determined to promote martial virtues and eliminate evil spirits from all over the world.

The other side comes from the southern part of Longzhou. They believe in the ancient cloud patterns, follow the way of nature, and nurture their natural bodies.

The two teams will compete fiercely on the ring for the first Longzhou Martial Arts High School champion.
The winning team will be remembered forever by this venue, and a new chapter in their lives will begin.

Now let us welcome the Bai Ze Wu High School team and the Feng Yun Wu High School team to the stage with the warmest applause!"

As the host finished speaking, brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky above the venue, and the "cloud pattern" and "Bai Ze" totem flags, symbolizing the martial arts of both sides, were raised.
Bai Yu and Lu Yaoshi led their respective team members out of the players' passages on both sides and walked around the field. At this time, overwhelming cheers also rang out in the stadium.

The slogans of "King Bai Ze" and "Wind and Cloud" complement each other.

In the stands, many students, relatives and friends of both sides’ martial arts high schools were cheering hard to boost the morale.

"There are so many people, there must be hundreds of thousands."

Wang Hai sighed, and kept waving and smiling at the audience around him to relieve his tension.

"Anyway, I feel like this is probably all the people I'll ever see in my life."

Yuan Qiu's forehead was covered with sweat and he was already under tremendous pressure.

Bai Yu had no expression, but his heart was beating faster and his blood was boiling.

He had gone through the same opening process many times, but never was he more excited than this time.

This was not only due to the warm atmosphere and the honor of being a champion, but also because it was the first time he stood on the field with Zhou Yulan's live support.
That desire, that impulse, always makes him want to prove himself here.

Soon, the round was over and the two teams stood separately on the stage.

Then the host began to introduce the distinguished guests one by one. As Qian Tao mentioned earlier, important figures such as Nan Shanhe, the director of the Martial Master Management Bureau, the royal family of Yuezhou, etc. were all present, and they all sat in the box on the second floor.

"You look nervous? I can hear your heartbeat from here."

Lu Yaoshi didn't care about the so-called respect for the big shots at all. He didn't even bother to applaud and started talking directly to Bai Yu who was a few meters away.

Bai Yu didn't want to pay attention to it, but then he thought of something.

There must be a reason why so many big names came to watch the game. It is impossible that they just got together to watch the young students' competition when they had nothing else to do.

And Lu Yaoshi, a well-connected rich second-generation, might have known the inside story, so he came to participate in the competition out of loneliness, and even spent a huge amount of money to hire a professional team of hundreds of people for the championship.

"Not bad." Bai Yu responded, "The prize for the champion is very generous, I must win it."

"Indeed, a high-level martial art that can be freely passed down, even I am tempted by this thing, let alone you, a commoner from an ordinary family, you should do your best to fight for it."

Lu Yaoshi smiled frivolously, "Tell me, which one are you going to appear in? Anyway, the order is fixed and will not change."

"You'll know when I come on stage later," Bai Yu said.

Lu Yaoshi changed the subject. High-level martial arts was what the other party wanted, but that was definitely not all.

"Okay, it doesn't matter." Lu Yaoshi spread his hands.
"No matter where you play, the final result of our victory will not change.

It's nothing more than that you and Zhao Lingyu both played in the first four games, won two games, and I won the last game, 3 to 2,

Or you and Zhao Lingyu either play last, and my teammates beat you 3-1 in the first four games. There are only two possible scores.

This is something that everyone can foresee, right? Your team members must also know this.”

As Lu Yaoshi spoke, his teammates around him also showed confident smiles. On Bai Yu's side, Wang Hai, Yuan Qiu, and Zhang Heng's faces had changed.
They clenched their teeth in anger, their nails dug into their palms, but they couldn't utter a word in rebuttal.

Whether Lu Yaoshi alienated them or looked down on them, the fact was that they were holding Bai Yu and Zhao Lingyu back.
If any of them could be stronger and reach Chen Yubing's level, Lu Yaoshi would not dare to make such big claims.

Before, Qin Ying had no choice but to use playing cards to draw the order of appearance, partly because everything they had was under Lu Yaoshi's control, which made them so passive.

The three of them thought that the excitement and excitement they had just felt when they stood on the final stage was immediately replaced by sadness and regret in their hearts.

Bai Yu saw it all, but he didn't argue with Lu Yaoshi, nor did he directly comfort Wang Hai and the other two.

After a while, the host finished the introduction and both sides returned to the preparation seats. Bai Yu casually asked Zhao Lingyu who was about to take the stage:

"Remember the day when we chose the playing cards?"

"Remember, what's wrong?" Zhao Lingyu said softly.

"I lied. I did pick the Ten of Spades for you on purpose. I'm sorry." Bai Yu confessed.

"I knew it."

Zhao Lingyu snorted and glanced at Wang Hai and the other two beside her. She already understood Bai Yu's intention.
"Thank you for your trust. I think the four of us can create an opportunity for you to appear on the stage.

However, I cannot guarantee that I will do my best for a liar. You should pray and repent in the audience later. Of course, the three of them may be willing to give you a chance. "

Wang Hai and the other two clenched their fists upon hearing that.

Bai Yu had indeed always trusted them, and believed that Bai Ze Wu Gao would be the final winner, otherwise, there would be no need to choose him to be the fifth to appear.

Coaches Qin Ying and Kong Xin, as well as Qian Tao and his team, have been encouraging them, training them, and helping them improve.
They may still have shortcomings, but they have become much stronger than before. Why should all this be denied by just a few words from an outsider?

At this time, a whistle sounded from the ring, and Wu Qing, the referee, reminded both players to go on stage.

Bai Yu stood up and faced Zhao Lingyu, Wang Hai, Zhang Heng, and Yuan Qiu, raised his fist, and said solemnly:

"Everyone, this is my mom's first time to watch our game. I want to play. Can you help me?"

"Okay, I'll pity you." Zhao Lingyu smiled and bumped her pink fist against Bai Yu.

"Sure!" Wang Hai stretched out his fist.

"I won't let you down!" Yuan Qiu followed.

"Bai Ze Wu Gao." Zhang Heng was no longer silent.

"No regrets!"

Five fists collided and separated, and Zhao Lingyu, determined to win, stood on the ring under the attention of everyone in the audience.

However, her opponent was reluctant to move from the preparation seat, and even when Wu Qing blew the whistle for the second time, she still had no intention of going on stage.

"what happened?"

The audience, who had been waiting quietly for the game to start, began to get restless.
If the players from Fengyun Wugao didn't come on the field again, Wu Qing would blow the whistle for the third time, and the team would be declared the loser.

At this time, the on-site event staff also received the final response from Fengyun Wugao:

"Sorry, our players are not feeling well. We forfeit this round."

Wu Qing confirmed the situation again and again through the headset. He stared at Lu Yaoshi who was giving orders and announced the result of the game loudly:

"In the first round, Fengyun Wugao forfeited. The winner is Zhao Lingyu from Bai Ze Wugao."
