Chapter 374: Professional Explanation
The captain of the Rain Forest University team, Lin Gu, was currently in high spirits. It wasn"t that he had the confidence to defeat Whale Island University… Apart from the two prestigious schools, Dragon Nation and Fiery Bird, no other major sprite school team dared to say that they could defeat Whale Island.
He was not confident at all.
His high spirits were purely… to make him look good in front of others.
That"s right..
Among the many major universities, Rain Forest University could only be ranked in the middle… Sometimes, it might even be difficult for their Sprite Trainers to qualify for the group battles.
But this year…
Rain Forest University was pretty lucky. When they besieged a powerful Dark Society stronghold a few months ago, they were able to reap a lot of the benefits.
Even though their contribution to that mission was very small, the size of the mission was still huge and the overall evaluation was very high. The reward for their minor contribution was equivalent to their income for a few months.
Lin Gu was especially lucky.
When his Rain Forest Giant Ape witnessed the destructive power on the mountain range, it was actually affected and was able to break through to extraordinary level not long later.
Extraordinary level!
How many extraordinary-level sprites were there in the various school teams now?
He knew that it was impossible for him to defeat the Whale Island University team, but this was very likely the only time Rain Forest University would do well in the High School League.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Whale Island University team had yet to get serious, he had no other choice but to show off at the current moment.
Regardless of whether he won or lost, at the very least, he was able to enjoy this moment while it lasted.
That was what Lin Gu thought.
Facing an elite-level limit sprite, the Rain Forest Giant Ape attacked brazenly. Its aura burst forth, and a set of powerful secret manuals was used. Countless vines spread. The Rain Forest Giant Ape swung around as if it was in a forest and with an unparalleled power, it exuded a powerful aura until air waves visible to the naked eye spread continuously.
In just two or three moves, it was able to defeat its opponent.
It also fully displayed its strength.
"Although the sprite that was defeated was only a second or third-tier Whale Island sprite, the audience won"t be able to tell. My quick defeat will probably increase Rain Forest University"s reputation by a bit. Next, as long as we lose decently."
Lin Gu felt satisfied. He turned to look at the side of the battle hall, wanting to see the strong figure of his Rain Forest Giant Ape on the huge screen…
He was stunned.
There was no Rain Forest Giant Ape on the screen!
"That shouldn"t be the case. The three schools for today"s compet.i.tion, Dragon City, Fiery Bird, and Whale Island, were all separated. At this time, the screen should be showing my Rain Forest Giant Ape!"
But why…
He quickly discovered that there was no Rain Forest Giant Ape on the screen, but it wasn"t at the other venues either. It was… in the broadcasting hall!
At the guest area!
Because…
The last seat that had remained empty was rumored to have belonged to the man who led Whale Island University to win last year. And that man had arrived!
…
The commentators for the High School League were the same as last year. They were Huang Tianlei and Si Yuerong.
They were famous master-level Sprite Trainers.
Just like last year, they let their aces perform a grand performance at the opening ceremony of the league.
The performance was full of special effects and also showed the unparalleled power of their experienced extraordinary sprites. The audience loved it.
The shock their performance brought to the audience was much greater than the performance of the occasional extraordinary level sprites during the group battles.
Even the official members of the three prestigious schools were probably no match for the two commentators.
They were older, after all.
But such a performance failed to attract the attention of someone like Su Hao… During the opening ceremony, he only glanced at the live-stream twice.
On the other hand…
He looked at the other guests, his gaze sweeping across every sprite following behind them.
Lan Qing"s sprite"s performance ability was very strong. Even though it was already an extraordinary high-level Storm G.o.d Hound, it was still the sprite with the lowest development level here.
As for the others…
"One was close to becoming a pseudo monarch, one was a pseudo monarch, and one was a pseudo monarch perfected."
The Sprite Trainers weren"t too old either. They were in their early thirties, and each of them had extraordinary battle results.
At this moment…
As the camera turned, the special guest who hadn"t shown his face much since the opening ceremony officially entered the audience"s vision.
Huang Tianlei introduced, "This is Ke Pengfei, known as the" Iron-blooded Police Officer ". The number of extremely evil criminals that Officer Ke has arrested is no less than three digits. The flying transport team that caused huge destruction in Lin City last year was arrested by a team led by officer Ke."
"Next to him is s.h.i.+ Long from the White Elephant Club. Instructor s.h.i.+ had a 100-game winning streak from the White Elephant challenge. He"s an expert with very rich strength and battle experience."
"Then we have Ms. Gong Lin from Green Shade Group. Many of our viewers in front of the TV should know about last year"s Blue Lake incident and how Ms. Gong Lin was able to suppress the incident."
The audience naturally didn"t know these three people.
But their battle results were enough for many ordinary spectators to develop a direct understanding.
Simply put, the general reaction was: Oh my, how impressive!
Su Hao didn"t know them before, but he developed a deeper understanding after hearing the battle results in the introduction.
Take the Blue Lake incident last year as an example…
On the surface, the sprite riot seemed to have been caused by environmental pollution, but in fact, the reason for the riot was because a small World Entrance had suddenly appeared. However, the entrance was too small and its spatial fluctuations were too weak, which was why the local a.s.sociation of Sprite Trainers failed to notice.
At the time, on the opposite side of the entrance, a nest of hot-tempered sprites happened to dash out from the bottom of the Aqua Lake.
However, before the sprites could get far, they were suppressed by Gong Lin, a master level Sprite Trainer who just happened to be pa.s.sing by.
Compared to the three of them…
Su Hao and Lan Qing"s battle results were a little less impressive—after all, many of their achievements involved confidential information that weren"t appropriate to be announced.
But…
"And here we have the second-year instructor of Dragon City University, an 18-year-old top-notch master-level expert, Miss Lan Qing…"
"Finally, we have the first-year instructor of Whale Island University, a twenty-year-old top-notch master-level expert, owner of a personal laboratory, and discoverer of the evolution forms of seven sprites. When he was still in high school, he had already completed the improvement of 25 unique skills. To this day, he has created more than ten secret manuals, and…"
Huang Tianlei read the information in front of him word by word, but as he read, he felt that something was wrong.
It seemed that the introduction was a little… long!
It was way too long!
…
"Cough, cough. The two parties fighting right now are the fifth trainer from Rain Forest University and the third trainer from Whale Island University… The sprite from Whale Island University is the Eternal Darkness cat, an extremely rare dark-element sprite. From the looks of it, there"s no doubt that this Eternal Darkness cat is an extraordinary-level sprite and the ace sprite of a certain Whale Island team member."
Huang Tianlei quickly introduced the sprites on stage as he directed the focus of attention into the venue.
As a commentator, he was naturally unhappy with the presence of special guests, but he had no choice but to go along with the arrangements.
But…
I"m the professional commentator here, not them. As long as I firmly grasp the characteristics of every sprite and a.n.a.lyze the meaning of the battle for the audience with humor and professional methods, naturally, there won"t be much for the few guests to do… Well, at that time, I"ll just casually give a few opportunities to the guests, and I"ll be able to look good when this all ends.
Huang Tianlei thought to himself.
He was very confident.
Last year, he became the commentator for the first time in the league. Back then, he was a little careless and indeed made some mistakes during the commentary process.
But this year…
He came prepared and had already gotten the league list long ago. When he came across some rare sprites on the list, Huang Tianlei kept searching for information and even asked his friends for advice. He even researched many secret manuals that he wasn"t familiar with..
For this particular occasion, he had spent a lot of time and money.
He put in all of this effort to prove that he, a professional commentator, didn"t need the help of so-called special guests!
Thinking up to this point, Huang Tianlei"s spirits were lifted. His gaze was as sharp as an eagle as he stared fixedly at the figures pa.s.sing by in the image.
"The secret manual used by the Rain Forest Giant Ape is the Flying Forest Ape. This secret manual allows the sprite to turn the whole compet.i.tion arena into its own home field!"
"And the Eternal Dark Cat, on the other hand, is using, is, is…"
Huang Tianlei stared and thought about it. In the end, he came up with nothing and was speechless.
