"Xu Fan, we'll temporarily set aside your tardiness."
"Now, I order you to immediately lead the Grey Wolf Team back in position, do not affect the start of the grand competition!"
At this moment, Liu Fei had already figured it out; after all, Xu Fan was a man destined to die, why should he bother getting angry with a dead man?
Indeed, Xu Fan's previous words had cost Liu Fei his face, but continuing to tangle with Xu Fan would only make Liu Fei lose more face!
On the contrary, as soon as Xu Fan was ordered back in position and the grand competition was announced to begin, Xu Fan would die, and Liu Fei could announce to everyone that this was the fate of those daring to oppose him!
Everyone stared intently in Xu Fan's direction, wanting to see how Xu Fan would choose.
Xu Fan's previous remarks indeed made a group of people hang their heads in shame, but it was of no use; instead, the murderous intent on Long Zhen, Feng Li, and others only grew stronger.
Moreover, Xu Fan still hadn't solved the problem of the grand competition.
In the end, despite Xu Fan's thunderous words shocking everyone, he was still destined to die!
Facing everyone's gaze, Xu Fan's lips curled into a disdainful cold smile, yet he didn't say much but led the Grey Wolf Team to stand silently in the last position on the square, waiting for the grand competition to start.
"Hmph! The so-called first of the Earth List ends here!"
In the crowd, Luo Yan withdrew his cold gaze from Xu Fan, his face full of contempt.
Xu Fan's previous performance surprised Luo Yan, but now that Xu Fan obediently participated in the grand competition, he was almost certainly doomed!
Luo Yan knew very well the measures the base took to target Xu Fan.
Cough, cough!
On the high platform, Liu Fei coughed twice, attracting everyone's gaze to himself.
Seeing this, Liu Fei nodded with satisfaction, "Now, I announce the grand competition is about to begin!"
"Before the grand competition starts, I want to say a few more words!"
Below the stage, the crowd, originally raring to go, erupted in boos upon hearing Liu Fei's words.
After waiting for Elder and Xu Fan, finally getting Xu Fan, this Elder Liu Fei still wanted to say a few more words?
However, thinking about the grand competition being a siege against Xu Fan, everyone restrained their emotions and focused intently on Liu Fei on the stage.
The hatred between Liu Fei and Xu Fan was irreconcilable; Xu Fan's previous words were like a slap to Liu Fei's face, how could Liu Fei swallow that?
As expected, Liu Fei's gaze coldly directed toward Xu Fan, but quickly withdrew, speaking solemnly, "This year's grand competition is extremely important, not only have the major first-class Hidden World Families sent geniuses to serve as instructors and personally dig talents, but even the renowned Luo Yan and Lan Xinyi have come to watch and participate in this grand competition."
"Therefore, this grand competition is a chance for you all! You all must exert your full strength and obey the instructors' orders!"
At the end, Liu Fei's tone became exceedingly harsh.
However, no one in the venue looked at Liu Fei; everyone was focused on Xu Fan's direction.
Liu Fei's words were equivalent to forcibly glossing over some unfair rules targeting Xu Fan.
Luo Yan and Lan Xinyi, two figures exceeding the base's level, with such esteemed identities, would they attend this grand competition without the special purpose of killing Xu Fan?
What interested everyone was what Xu Fan would do?
Rise up in resistance? Xu Fan was, after all, just an instructor; how could he resist a shameless Elder?
Resign to fate? Even if Xu Fan's potential was monstrous, not speaking of Luo Yan and Lan Xinyi, just encountering the strong among the various teams, he might also meet a bitter end.
After all, these people were already renowned super geniuses eight years ago; their strength now must be even more terrifying!
To everyone's surprise, after hearing these words, Xu Fan merely glanced lightly toward the Azure Dragon Squad and Ice Phoenix Squad, without any other actions.
To Xu Fan, the people present were like ants; though Luo Yan and Lan Xinyi might have some strength, they were not taken to heart by Xu Fan.
Even this Zhiwei Realm's super strong Liu Fei Elder was not regarded by Xu Fan.
Xu Fan's true opponents were Elder Mu and the four others!
Luo Yan and Lan Xinyi's appearance only slightly surprised Xu Fan; in the blink of an eye, he became as calm as water.
However, Xu Fan's performance, in the eyes of others, appeared different.
What kind of genius was Xu Fan? Could he be someone who swallows bitterness silently?
Why did Xu Fan act this way, was it... planning to accept fate?
On the stage, Liu Fei also stole a suppressed glance at Xu Fan, but soon, curiosity turned into a sinister satisfaction.
"There's another rule, also different from previous grand competitions."
"This year's grand competition is extremely important to the major forces. Therefore, to fully assess everyone's strength, this year's rounds are changed from duels to melee!"
"Nine teams in a melee! Under the leadership of your Chief Instructors, you may freely attack each other until rankings are determined!"
Upon hearing Liu Fei's words, everyone exploded with gasps.
Many had already seen Liu Fei as a shameless person, but only after hearing these words did they realize he was shameless to such an extent.
Nine teams in a melee, meaning eight teams combined would simultaneously siege Xu Fan! And not just instructors and trainees, even the Chief Instructors would join!
Know this, each team's Chief Instructor was a Zhiwei Realm super strong individual!
How would Xu Fan handle all this?
Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads toward Xu Fan's direction, hoping to see his reaction.
Yet disappointingly, Xu Fan's face remained as calm as ever, contrasting the mood of the scene sharply.
Even the Grey Wolf Team members stood silently behind Xu Fan, their young faces filled with tranquility.
Previously, before Xu Fan's arrival, he had told the Grey Wolf Team a story, the very story of what the Grey Wolf Team encountered eight years ago.
Thus now, even though the Grey Wolf Team members knew this grand competition would be a bloody massacre, none flinched.
Faced with various unfairness and injustice, the Grey Wolf Team's faces bore nothing but satire and coldness.
For the Grey Wolf Team all shared an unshakeable belief, Instructor Xu was unbeatable!
