Chapter 163: Opening Battle! Alvin!

Chapter 163: Opening Battle! Alvin!

"Alright, it's time to enter the arena."

After announcing the rewards, Dean He Yalan led everyone onto the teleportation magic array. In a surge of magical patterns, everyone disappeared from the magical manor.

Their destination was the Shenlong Arena.

At this moment.

Inside the Shenlong Arena.

It was already packed with people.

The loud, enthusiastic chatter echoed in everyone's ears.

Their excited discussions were so loud that even the music playing in the arena couldn't drown them out.

The front row seats in the audience section had almost all been pre-booked by famous national live-streaming media companies at great expense.

Various well-known live-stream commentators were already in place, chatting with their viewers in front of the screens.

Around the enormous arena, there were numerous high-tech nano-cameras invisible to the naked eye, striving to capture every detail of the upcoming battles.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

In the sky above the Shenlong Arena, there were already over a dozen massive holographic projection screens.

These were meant to provide the best possible viewing experience of the battles for the live audience.

Why were the tickets for the pre-selection battles of the Wanmo Championship so expensive yet highly sought after?

The event organizers went to great lengths to provide ticket holders with top-notch services.

With a ticket, one could dine at any high-end restaurant within the Shenlong Arena during the event.

And enjoy various top-tier entertainment venues.

All for free, without any additional charges.

In other words...

Those who could afford tickets were definitely not short of money.

Some wealthy business owners even bought hundreds or even thousands of tickets in advance just to cheer for their favorite contestants.

Yes...

You heard it right.

In this world of professions, even the circle of professions had started to show signs of fan culture.

Because in this world, people no longer paid attention to those celebrities performing on screen but to these powerful prodigies.

Only professionals were the true leaders in this world of professions.

Many contestants who had achieved certain results in previous Wanmo Championships had garnered significant fan followings.

Even if they didn't go to the front lines after graduating from school, they could still earn a lot through "Secret Realm Challenge Live Streams."

Of course...

Some prodigies were content to be idle, marrying into wealthy families or becoming bodyguards for them.

So you could clearly hear certain sections of the audience cheering in unison for specific contestants.

"Look!!"

"The contestants for the solo matches are entering the arena!"

At this moment.

The excited audience, who had been discussing nonstop, saw the preparation area for the contestants light up with dazzling brilliance.

Then, a strong wave of spatial magic spread out like ripples.

Soon...

A total of 106 figures were teleported to the preparation area.

In the highest VIP seats of the Shenlong Arena, sat the high-ranking officials of the event and the prominent figures from the participating factions, such as school deans, tribal elders, and heads of major families.

"Welcome, friends from all over the country, and of course, our online viewers, hello!"

"Thank you for your support of the Wanmo Championship!"

"Alright, we've greeted everyone, and those who have watched our previous competitions know we don't like to waste time."

"So, now let me briefly introduce the rules of the competition! Then we'll start the draw for the opening match!"

Seeing that all the contestants were in place.

The three official commentators in the commentary booth gave a brief opening statement and then explained the competition rules to the audience.

After a few sentences.

"Alright! Let's start the draw!"

"This battle is destined to be the focal point! After all, this is the opening match of our Wanmo Championship pre-selection!"

"Who will be the two top prodigies chosen? Let's wait and see!"

As the official commentator finished speaking.

Everyone turned their eyes to the central screen.

The names of all the contestants began to flash on the screen.

The contestants in the preparation area also looked up with serious expressions.

Many of them started to pray internally, hoping not to face the top first or second seed contestants!

If they lost the opening match and got eliminated in the first round, it would be humiliating and would be mocked by countless people.

In the previous championship, a contestant from the Shangguan family was unfortunately defeated in the opening match.

And that scene where the contestant was punched so hard that his mouth twisted became a famous moment on the internet, and he was nicknamed "Twisted Mouth Guy" by netizens.

It's said that the contestant couldn't bear the ridicule and had completely withdrawn from the internet, focusing on leveling up instead.

Now.

The opening match was both an opportunity and a trial for the contestants.

If they won, all the audience would remember their name! Some might even become their supporters.

But if they lost, they would receive a chorus of boos and ridicule! They might even become a joke on the internet!

No wonder all the contestants were getting nervous. Even the bigwigs in the top VIP seats were clenching their fists.

After all, the contestants represented their respective tribes, families, and schools.

Ding!!

At this moment.

A crisp sound echoed through the nano-speakers scattered around the arena.

"The left side contestant is decided!!"

Everyone, whether they were commentators, audience members, or contestants, felt a jolt of excitement!

However, when they saw the name on the screen...

Wow!!

The entire arena erupted into a buzz and excitement!

Because the first contestant for the opening match was decided!

He was Alvin, the second seed of the Silvermoon Forest, and the son of an elven noble!

His profession was Moonlight Mourner, a hidden third transition of the wizard class, at level 67!

"Damn! It's him!"

"Wow! This opening match is going to be interesting! One of the championship favorites right from the start!"

"I heard Alvin once defeated a level 72 expert. His strength should be close to that of the elven princess, Loya."

"Now the other third, fourth, and fifth seed contestants must be praying not to be drawn against him..."

The audience began to discuss fervently.

Just as they said, the third, fourth, and fifth seed contestants from other organizations indeed showed uneasy expressions.

Ding!!

As everyone's eyes were on the screen, the name of the contestant who would face Alvin also appeared!
