Golden Dragon Tang Wulin 2

Chapter 204 - Wait and See

As Tang Wulin watched the matches progress, he formulated a plan.

Half an hour later, they were called for their match.

Tang Wulin led the way, followed by Xie Xie… and Xu Xiaoyan.

Indeed, Gu Yue wasn’t participating.

After scrutinizing the previous battles, Tang Wulin was confident and saw no need to reveal Gu Yue. Not to mention, their opposition hailed from a small town’s intermediate academy. In Wu Zhangkong’s own words, their sole objective was to become the champions. Tang Wulin understood his teacher’s philosophy and as such, regardless of their opponents’ strengths, their main objective would not change.

A devious strategy was required for such a goal. Since Gu Yue was without a doubt class zero’s strongest student, it was best to conserve her strength for future matches.

Although Xu Xiaoyan wasn’t powerful in the daytime, her awareness and team coordination were excellent. When a crucial moment arrived, she would be the one to capitalize on it.

Xie Xie described her as a radiant and pretty young lady, but in reality she was a two-faced little schemer.

Xu Xiaoyan’s eyes sparkled at the unexpected chance to appear in the first match. When she had heard of the others’ victories in the individual competition, she was wrought with envy. However, she understood that her abilities were not suited for a one versus one scenario; it would have been foolish to follow the trend.  

Even though the team competition’s first round was scheduled today, how could Xu Xiaoyan  have imagined that she would be participating? Contrary to her beliefs, Tang Wulin swapped her in.

Once Tang Wulin’s group arrived on the stage, their opponents soon appeared—three teenagers about fourteen to fifteen years old.  

When these teenagers from Seafare Academy saw the youthful faces of their opposition, joy washed over them like summer rain.

It was as Tang Wulin had guessed: Seafare Academy was mediocre and focused all their resources on their representative team.

When they had thought of themselves as mice in a world of men, they encountered a team of brats. How could they not feel as if Lady Luck was smiling down on them?

Aren’t these kids only about eleven or twelve? That’s a huge gap in age! Their cultivation should be weak then. In an instant, their faces lit up.

The referee climbed onto the stage. “You have thirty seconds to prepare. The countdown will begin at five seconds. The rules state that you cannot deliberately disable your opponent and you must immediately cease battle if I order so.” His tone was monotonous after repeating the same thing for countless battles.

“My name is Mo Ka and these are my teammates, Yu Shi and Duanmu Lianlian. You kids are from Eastsea Academy?” They had also checked the matchups.

Kids? Tang Wulin smiled humbly. “Yeah! Seniors, we’re first graders from Eastsea Academy. Please advise us.”

Xie Xie’s initial reaction was to explode in anger, but stopped himself when he saw the hand signals Tang Wulin flashed behind his back. Xie Xie understood his teammate’s intentions and  lowered his head quickly to hide his face.
