Chapter 529: Charles Appears Again! (2)
“This Gilbert seems to be stronger than before. Did you notice? He seems to have gained more abilities.” “He indeed has a lot more combat ability than when he fought Lu Yan previously, but I’m not sure if it’s because he has increased his strength recently or because he hid his strength previously.”
“He probably didn’t hide his strength. Previously, he and Lu Yan were competing for the individual competition championship. No one will hide their strength at such a moment. He should have obtained new strength in the past two days.”
“However, that’s true. Gilbert is a top-notch combatant after all. It’s very normal for his school to give him some more resources.”
Many spectators discussed. It could be seen that Gilbert’s combat strength had increased a lot compared to the previous individual competition.
However, this was also very normal. Generally speaking, after the individual competition ended, the schools of the various countries would give the top three candidates of their school more or less resources to increase their combat strength in the team competition.
The interval between the team competition and the individual competition was very close after all. They usually needed to prepare the resources needed for the top three candidates in advance.
Such things were not so easy to find. Therefore, very few people could increase their strength after the individual competition.
Gilbert clearly had resources prepared for him in advance.
It was very likely that the school had given it to Gilbert as a reward for this global university exchange competition. However, because of Lu Yan’s performance, they had given it to Gilbert in advance so that he could perform better in the team competition.
Lu Yan’s gaze also landed on the arena. He looked at Gilbert’s expression in the arena and narrowed his eyes.
Lu Yan was not too surprised by Gilbert’s increase in combat strength.
Gilbert was clearly here to fight for first place. After losing the individual competition, his school would naturally help him increase his strength to obtain first place in the team competition.
After all, judging from the previous battle performance of the champion of the individual competition, the difference in combat strength between him and Lu Yan was not very big.
If Lu Yan lost and his strength was not much different from Gilbert, Lei Shuo would definitely give Lu Yan something to increase his strength.
However, what Gilbert and his school did not know was that Lu Yan had not used his full strength in the individual competition.
In the arena, the corner of Gilbert’s mouth curled into a smile as he heard the cheers from the surrounding audience.
This was the effect he wanted.
Then, Gilbert’s gaze landed on the Dragon Country team not far away. He looked at Lu Yan and the smile on his face disappeared.
“Lu Yan! Just you wait. The first place in this team competition will definitely belong to me!”
Looking at Lu Yan, Gilbert directly walked off the arena after saying this.
Many people’s gazes landed on Lu Yan. They were not surprised by Gilbert’s ruthless words.
After all, if not for Lu Yan, he would have won the individual competition previously, there would definitely be anger between the two of them.
The surrounding audience also hoped to see the battle between the two. It would definitely be very exciting.
Next, the host went on stage and began to introduce the next battle.
It was a team from the Bear Country and a team from the Eagle Country. Both sides were not famous teams. The audience’s response was also mediocre and they did not pay much attention.
However, this battle lasted for a long time. The combat standards of the two teams were not far apart. They had been entangled with each other for a long time, and the team members were basically eliminated one by one.
The entire process was somewhat boring, and no team members who erupted with powerful strength appeared. It seemed very calm.
In the end, this competition ended with the victory of the Bear Country team.
At this moment, everyone in the entire audience was somewhat listless. After all, the competition just now was indeed somewhat boring.
At this moment, the host went on stage and began to introduce the next competition.
Hearing the team of this competition, the expressions of the audience who were still somewhat listless just now instantly perked up.
This was because the two teams competing next were the school team of Prince Charles of Eagle Country and Johnde’s team.
These two people’s performances in the individual competition were also very dazzling.
In particular, Prince Charles’ battle with Lu Yan was very exciting. In the eyes of many spectators, if not for the fact that the King of the Eagle Country finally shouted for Charles to stop and withdraw from the competition, the final outcome would still be unknown.
Because of the obstruction of the Eagle Country’s king previously, many people felt that Charles would not appear in the global university exchange competition this time. However, they did not expect Charles to be on the list this time.
Everyone’s gazes landed on the arena in front of them, looking forward to the competition between Charles and Johnde.
“Charles and the others will probably win this competition very easily. After all, the battle between Johnde and Lu Yan was too serious previously.”
“That’s right. After losing so many mechanical beasts, Johnde’s combat strength has probably decreased a lot. However, Johnde didn’t suffer much damage. Charles will probably win.”
“Charles’ combat strength is very powerful. After all, it’s the Eagle Country’s Royal Academy. The people that get chosen by the academy all have very high combat strength. To be honest, in the team competition, the combat strength of the Royal Academy can even be said to be the strongest.”
Seeing the Royal Academy and Johnde’s school team enter, the surrounding audience also discussed. They already had a rough conclusion about the outcome of this competition.
After all, Johnde had spent too many mechanical beasts in his previous battle with Lu Yan, and a large portion of Johnde’s combat strength came from mechanical beasts.
Moreover, the quality of the Eagle Country’s Royal Academy was very high. Last year, the champion of the global university exchange competition was the Eagle Country’s Royal Academy.
Under such circumstances, most of the audience still thought that the Eagle Country’s Royal Academy would win this competition.
At this moment, in the arena, Charles was dressed in fancy clothes, but the unruly smile on his face was no longer there.
His expression was slightly gloomy.
After all, in the individual competition previously, his battle with Lu Yan had been stopped by his father before it ended. This made Charles very unconvinced and he also felt that he had lost a lot of face.
However, the King of the Eagle Country also made a request for Charles, which was that he had to win the team competition.
When Charles heard this at that time, he agreed without hesitation. He had planned to become the champion since the start.
If not for his father’s obstruction, he would have won the individual competition.
Looking at Johnde’s team in front of him, Charles revealed a disdainful smile.
Previously, Johnde was still somewhat a threat to him, but now, it could be said that Johnde was no threat at all.
In this competition, he would crush Johnde’s team in front of him and let everyone present know that the Eagle Country’s Royal Academy was the strongest. He would also let them know that he, Charles, was the strongest.
“After the competition begins later, cheer up and finish the battle cleanly. We have to let everyone understand the value of our Eagle Country’s Royal
Academy!”
Charles looked at his teammates beside him and directly ordered!
