Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Wang Yi, holding the Crimson Blood Halberd, followed Ren Ming out.

Fifteen minutes later, Ren Ming returned with Li Wang Wang Yi.

The Beijiang team's rest area is about a six-minute walk from the training ground.

When Ren Ming returned, his expression was normal, and his clothes were not even messed up. He continued to stand next to Dai Lan.

No one asked about the result. The fact that Ren Ming stopped clamoring to be the captain was enough to explain the outcome.

After all, they're teammates, so it's not good to expose all the reasons why Ren Ming lost.

That's incredibly disrespectful.

Anyway, when someone goes to sleep tonight, they'll probably find little red dragons holding halberds all over their bed when they lift the covers.

The minor conflict within the team was resolved relatively peacefully, and everyone is now a loving and supportive teammate again.

"How long until the group stage ends?"

Having regained his captaincy through sheer strength, Wang Yi began inquiring about the schedule for this year's league.

Jiang Yue cleared his throat and then began to explain in detail, answering Wang Yi's questions:

"In about two more days, the teams that will win the revival spots in each group will be determined, and then the revival teams will compete in a challenge match."

"If we are not challenged, we can easily enter the main event. If we are challenged by a resurrected team, we will have to play another match and win to enter the main event."

"After the group stage of the team competition ends, there will be a short break before the preliminary round of the individual competition begins. It will then take another two weeks to determine the top 64 in the individual competition, who will then advance to the main competition."

"With that, the one-month preliminary rounds have come to an end, and the main competition will begin. The main competition will be held in Hughes City, Texas, and we can now leave Oran City."

"Florida and Texas, one doesn't support idlers, and the other has a simple and honest folk culture. Couldn't the organizing committee of the American competition have picked a better place, such as California or New York?"

Qi Xiaohao complained, clearly annoyed.

After all, the lounge in Oran City was really basic, and Qi Xiaohao had had enough of it.

"The gathering of so many powerful and young mages is bound to cause chaos, especially in America, where even ordinary people are enthusiastic about American-style iaido. As long as it doesn't cause too much trouble, America's tournament organizing committee doesn't want to get involved at all, so it's definitely impossible to hold the competition in a wealthy area."

Jiang Yue smiled slightly: "Actually, all countries are pretty much the same in this respect. Even when China is the host country, it is impossible to hold the event in places like the capital or Shanghai."

"However, regardless of where the event is held, for the staff and law enforcement personnel of the Huaxia Magic Monitoring System, it is undoubtedly a nightmare with red alarms flashing even in their beds."

"So that means I'll have to stay here for another two weeks?"

Wang Yi looked around, grinned, and felt slightly annoyed.

Qi Xiaohao wasn't the only one who looked down on this lounge.

Wang Yi has always lived in villas, and apart from when he was in the interdimensional passage, his living conditions have never been this bad.

"Ha, it's good enough to have a place to stay, yet you're being picky," Ren Ming said sarcastically.

Everyone here is a rich kid. Ren Ming's family is worth billions, yet he still sleeps on this kind of cardboard bed.

What's even more infuriating is that Qi Xiaohao, who shares a bedroom with him, snores deafeningly every day.

Wait... Bedroom, Qi Xiaohao!

Ren Ming's eyes lit up, and a flash of inspiration struck him.

Then Ren Ming cleared his throat, put on a gentle smile, and bowed slightly as he said, "Captain, Xiao Hao, you two brothers have the deepest bond. Now that you've reunited, you should stay together and have a long talk by candlelight. So I'll give you my bed."

Wang Yi squinted at Ren Ming, unsure of what he was really up to.

Why did this old man's attitude suddenly change 180 degrees? There's obviously something fishy going on.

"You're moving out?" Qi Xiaohao scratched his head. He naturally had no objection to living in the same room as Wang Yi.

However, Qi Xiaohao quickly realized Ren Ming's sinister intentions after a moment's thought.

Ren Ming moved out of the bedroom, but not the lounge, so he will definitely still live here.

Then you can only go to another bedroom.

In Beijiang's lounge, there are only three small bedrooms, each with two beds.

Anyway, each team has a total of six people, including official players and substitutes, so the organizing committee will prepare six beds for you. As for the issue of gender, they can't be bothered to consider it.

The current team assignments in Beijiang are: Qi Xiaohao and Ren Ming in one room, Jiang Yue and Wang Jiang in one room, and Dai Lan in her own room.

Wang Yi's disappearance freed up a bed, making things much more convenient for Dai Lan, the only girl in the group.

Since Ren Ming is moving out and leaving the bedroom to Qi Xiaohao and Wang Yi, it goes without saying which bedroom he wants to go to.

"Alright, I can give the room to you brothers."

"Oh, so you want to take this opportunity to move into your senior's room!"

Qi Xiaohao and Ren Ming spoke almost simultaneously.

Ren Ming's face stiffened, and then the scene fell silent for a moment.

Ren Ming cursed his bad luck inwardly; he never expected Qi Xiaohao to react so quickly.

The original plan was to kill two birds with one stone. If Wang Yi agreed, Ren Ming could not only escape Qi Xiaohao's snoring, but also take the opportunity to enter Dai Lan's bedroom.

Of course, even if they were to share a bedroom, nothing romantic could happen, unless Ren Ming wanted to turn into an ice sculpture.

But at least it can physically shorten the distance.

Unexpectedly, the moment he opened his mouth, Qi Xiaohao saw through his intentions and even revealed them directly.

It must be said that, under certain circumstances, Qi Xiaohao's mind works exceptionally fast; he is known for his quick wit.

However, Ren Ming was extremely embarrassed when Qi Xiaohao directly pointed this out.

Can passive and active, intentional and unintentional, coincidence and calculation be the same?

Ren Ming could already feel Dai Lan's piercing gaze moving back and forth between his back and neck, as if searching for the least bloody and most comfortable spot to strike.

This made Ren Ming shrink back, anxiously extending his right hand, pointing at Qi Xiaohao, his finger trembling as he quickly retorted:

"I'm warning you not to talk nonsense! I'm suing you for defamation, you know? I'm suing you for defamation!"

Seeing the others looking at him like he was trash, Ren Ming pleaded, his voice trembling with emotion, as he desperately tried to defend himself:

"He's slandering me! He's slandering me!"

"Fine, I agree." Dai Lan coldly squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Anyway, it's a waste for my bedroom to be empty, so come whenever you want."

Even a fool could tell the real meaning behind Dai Lan's tone.

If Ren Ming were to foolishly go, he might end up sleeping in a bed or a coffin.

Ren Ming's body trembled, as if he had been hit by an invisible ice spell. He stiffly turned his head, forced a smile, and said, "Lanlan, how could I possibly bother you? It's all a misunderstanding. This little fat guy is just being petty and judging me by my own standards. What I really meant was that I would give up my bedroom to Wang Yi and then I would sleep in the living room."

After saying that, Ren Ming silently walked to the sofa in the living room, which was less than a meter wide, and sat down. He patted the barely noticeable cushion under his bottom and said, "This sofa is pretty good. The living room is also much bigger than the bedroom, so it feels spacious. I'll sleep here from now on, and nobody can take it from me."
