However, an awkward situation occurred.

Ten minutes passed, an hour passed, and more than half the day passed. The warm morning sunlight had turned into the scorching midday sun, yet the protagonist of today's event, Xu Fan, still had not appeared.

A group of people—whether it was the many Elders and high-level personnel in the VIP seats, or the genius disciples from the various Hidden World Families among the teams—were all dumbfounded at this moment.

What's going on? Is Xu Fan coming or not?

If Xu Fan really does not come, are they going to keep waiting?

If they really continue to wait foolishly, then this so-called tournament will become a huge joke!

Is the tournament for selecting talents or for assassinating Xu Fan?

Since it's for selecting talents, and Xu Fan hasn't shown up, why not just start first?

If it's to kill Xu Fan, why use the pretext of a tournament? The hypocritical face of a hypocrite is glaringly obvious!

Xu Fan's absence with his Grey Wolf Team was like a slap in the face to these people who were originally full of confidence, waiting for Xu Fan to appear so they could slay him, leaving them feeling dizzy and groggy.

Liu Fei looked extremely displeased.

As a senior within the base, and a host of the tournament, being played by Xu Fan before it even began, Liu Fei's dignity as an Elder had already been trampled underfoot by Xu Fan.

In fact, Liu Fei, who had no small grudge against Xu Fan, really wanted to directly announce the disqualification of the Grey Wolf Team. Once Xu Fan lost his position as the coach of the Grey Wolf Team, a mere Entering Dao Realm Peak boy would be at Liu Fei's mercy and whimsy!

However, Liu Fei knew well that today's so-called tournament had already been arranged impeccably, and he, Liu Fei, was merely an executor!

Now, Liu Fei cleared his throat, looked at the crowd below, and said coldly with an unpleasant expression, "The tournament will be delayed for another hour. If the Grey Wolf Team still doesn't show up after an hour, they will be directly disqualified!"

Liu Fei's voice carried an air of boundless majesty and solemnity, as if it had a special effect to calm people's hearts.

However, upon hearing Liu Fei's words, everyone at the scene rolled their eyes collectively, and some even unabashedly booed him.

The reason was simple: Liu Fei had used this excuse to stall the crowd before, and now more than half a day had passed, yet Liu Fei still hadn't announced the disqualification of the Grey Wolf Team.

Liu Fei looked annoyed, and Luo Yan's expression was even worse.

Who is Luo Yan? Even throughout the entire base, Luo Yan didn't put anyone in his eyes. Like a noble lion appearing before a flock of sheep, even if Xu Fan were killed by Luo Yan, it would still be a great honor for Xu Fan.

However, Xu Fan showed no such awareness. Now he simply didn't show up, making Luo Yan wait here in vain for half a day.

This was even more uncomfortable for Luo Yan than being slapped in the face.

Coming from an Overlord Level power just like Luo Yan, Lan Xinyi's mood was quite different at this moment.

Lan Xinyi had calmed down completely over a month, and today she appeared here to decisively slay Xu Fan, forever ending this thought.

On the journey to becoming stronger, there can be no attachments!

Coming from a noble background, Lan Xinyi too bore heavy pressure and mission on her shoulders! A poor boy with no background whatsoever had no right to stir Lan Xinyi's heart!

However, when Lan Xinyi arrived, ready to face Xu Fan, she once again wavered in her mind.

What mistake did Xu Fan make? Why must I kill Xu Fan?

Now, Lan Xinyi urgently hoped Xu Fan wouldn't show up.

As someone from an Overlord Level power, Lan Xinyi naturally understood the perilous situation Xu Fan faced this time, almost certain death! But as long as Xu Fan didn't show, he wouldn't die in front of her, and Lan Xinyi could end it all in this relatively painless way.

However, to Lan Xinyi's disappointment, a figure finally walked steadily toward the square, followed by a group of equally composed young people, all sporting an incongruous calmness and maturity as they walked step by step toward this direction.

It was Xu Fan and his led Grey Wolf Team!

Lan Xinyi closed her eyes painfully, her heart in turmoil.

And everyone else on the scene gazed in the direction of Xu Fan with astonished uproar, while in the VIP seats, Elder Mu and three others looked with a flash of excitement in their eyes.

Xu Fan came to the base to serve as the coach of the Grey Wolf Team for the opportunity after this tournament; how could he not come?

In the past, when the three families of Li, Dragon, and Phoenix encircled and attacked Xu Fan, how terrifying was the scene? When had Xu Fan ever backed down?

The crowd who had been murmuring and extremely dissatisfied with Xu Fan's tardiness now found themselves stunned by Xu Fan's calm presence, staring dumbfounded in his direction, unable to utter a word.

"Xu Fan! You still have the nerve to come?"

On the high platform, Liu Fei, with a solemn expression and sharp gaze, chastised Xu Fan angrily, "As a coach, how could you be late for the annual tournament! Such irresponsibility!"

"The Grey Wolf Team, ranked last in the base, what qualifies you to let eight teams wait for half a day?"

Liu Fei's voice was filled with severity, and many coaches and students from the eight teams looked at Xu Fan with unfriendly expressions.

Today, these people were here to kill Xu Fan, now left hanging by Xu Fan for half a day, how could they afford to give Xu Fan a good look?

Facing everyone's gaze, Xu Fan stood at the front of the Grey Wolf Team with a calm expression.

"Noisy."

Xu Fan's two calm words nearly made Liu Fei spit blood, and the various coaches and students from the eight teams were left speechless by Xu Fan's two words.

Late or not, how could he just enter and dare to speak to Elder Liu Fei like that?

Listening to Xu Fan's indifferent tone, it seemed as though he was the Elder, and the latecomer appeared to be Liu Fei.

"Impertinent!"

From the White Tiger Team, a coach stepped forward to confront Xu Fan, with eyes full of murderous intent, as if he was looking at a dead man.

"A mere Grey Wolf Team dares to be late for half a day! More so shows disrespect to the Elder! Such unrestrained person! Should be killed!"

From the two teams of Azure Dragon and Ice Phoenix, Long Zhen and Feng Li also stepped forward, angrily condemning Xu Fan.

"This person is unruly! He should be promptly eradicated!"

"The base is a crucial site, how can it allow this brat to run rampant? He should be executed!"
