Origin Legend: Heroic Hymn

After the performances were over, the host Yamila's beautiful voice was heard, bringing Dong Yu's thoughts back to reality.

"Dear audience! Our opening ceremony performances have all ended. The moment you've all been waiting for is about to arrive! Let's shout out our next segment together!"

At this moment, everyone focused their attention on the venue. Perhaps to express their respect for the strong, they shouted out loudly the performance that everyone was most looking forward to!

"Single-player preliminaries!"

"That's right! Let's welcome our minors with warm applause. This year's singles preliminaries will be the same as in previous years, with a free-for-all format until only 32 people are left in the arena to enter the knockout rounds! The total schedule is 10 days! What kind of wonderful performances will the strong players have? Please wait and see."

In order to allow the audience to release their enthusiasm, there was a deliberate pause to let the audience shout out their meanings, and then Jamila's charming voice once again filled the entire venue.

"Here is a reminder to the 18-25 year old individual competition players. Please go to the lounge for roll call. The 18-25 year old individual competition preliminaries will begin in one hour! Players who are not present within 5 minutes before the start of the game will be deemed to have automatically forfeited! Please cherish this hard-earned opportunity!"

Dong Yu reached out and patted Ling Feng's shoulder, then stretched and stood up.

"Brother, let's go, go to the lounge for roll call, bring your weapons and follow me!"

Rita looked at Ling Feng with a slightly worried look.

"Ling Feng, be careful! I'll be here to cheer you on!"

Bai Shengyu next to him was also cheering Ling Feng on and giving him a mysterious smile.

"Ling Feng, if you pass the preliminaries, Xiao Bai will give you a reward!"

Alice and Dong Yu were attracted by Bai Shengyu's words, and asked in unison with gossip flashing in their eyes.

"What reward?"

Bai Shengyu threw a coquettish glance at Ling Feng with a cute expression and lightly touched her lips with her fingers.

"That is... a secret... only Ling Feng and I know it!"

Seeing Bai Shengyu's naughty expression, Rita looked at Ling Feng with a complicated expression, and Ling Feng explained hurriedly.

"Don't... don't listen to her nonsense! I... I don't know what she is talking about! Come on, brothers, let's go!"

Dong Yu raised his eyebrows and followed Ling Feng, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Then tell me, brother, when no one is around!"

"But! What I said is true!" Ling Feng felt like crying but had no tears.

"Who would believe you? Xiaobai has been so clinging to you for the past year, there must be something hidden. Forget it, the most troublesome thing in the world is a triangle relationship! I won't care about you anymore.

But having said that, Ling Feng, your luck is incredible! I didn’t expect that you won all three draws! Awesome!”

After teasing Ling Feng, Dong Yu took the initiative to change the subject.

"You too! You actually want to brag about yourself!"

"Hahaha... you found out! Actually, it took me a lot of effort to be able to participate..."

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

Time goes back to the winter fantasy before the competition started.

"No! I don't agree! No need to say more!" Dongxue unexpectedly rejected Dongyu's request.

"Why? Sister! This is also a great opportunity for experience!" With great confusion, Dong Yu decided to try again.

"Yes! Sister Xue, Xiaoyu needs to practice! And it's just a competition! It's okay to go and have fun!" Alice also echoed.

Dongxue looked at the two people who were singing in unison with a smile.

"When did you two become so nice?"

After hearing what Dongxue said, the two of them looked at each other, then avoided each other's gaze like frightened birds, lowered their heads with red faces.

"Although it's an opportunity to gain experience, but... No! There are many ways to gain experience, not just this way! Okay! You two stop talking!"

Dongxue spoke to both of them in an undeniable tone, which made Dongyu even more confused.

"Why is that? I could understand it last time because I didn't have enough strength, but now I'm already a high-level player, isn't that possible? I remember you were only a mid-level player the last time you participated!"

"It's because I've been there once, so I won't let you go. Alright! It seems like you won't give up until I tell you! Do you know why I didn't make it to the finals last time?"

Dongxue scratched her head in annoyance. She was not good at explaining things to others, so she decided to tell them some secrets out of desperation.

"Isn't it because we were surrounded and had no strength to continue after defeating our opponents?"

"Yes! We were indeed besieged and defeated our opponents, but do you think we really have no power? No! It's because we were poisoned!" When Dongxue said this, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

"What?! Poisoned?" Dong Yu and Alice exclaimed in disbelief.

"Yes! Poisoning! And we also discovered one thing, that is, those who died in each competition did not die in accidents, but were killed intentionally!"

The anger in Dongxue's eyes grew even stronger, and the cup in his hand was crushed into powder by him.

"what!!!"

Dongyu and Alice looked at Dongxue in amazement, and Dongxue continued her story.

“Last time, we entered the team competition and won all the rounds smoothly. Just when we thought we had no problem entering the finals, we were besieged by four teams.

After fighting with them, we found that the opponent was very strong and there was a strong smell of blood. When we realized something was wrong, we were already poisoned. We wanted to admit defeat, but we didn't expect that their goal was not to defeat us, but to kill us! "

Dong Yu and Alice were completely shocked and didn't know what to say. Dong Xue ignored them and continued talking.

“They said what’s the point of winning the game, it’s just a good feeling to see a strong man begging for mercy before you kill him.

But they didn't expect that my exclusive divine favor would awaken at the critical moment! In the end, I killed them with it! But we had to withdraw from the game because of poisoning.

Therefore, in every competition, there are always some criminals who enjoy killing people for fun. In the team competition, you enter a strange place, which is no different from the outside world. The place you appear after entering is random. In that case, I can't protect you. I don't want you to be in the same danger, so you can't go!"

Dongxue's emotions became obviously excited, but Dongyu felt extremely warm in his heart. Alice's face had turned pale, and she hurriedly held Dongyu's hand.

"Xiaoyu, you'd better not go! It's too dangerous."

Looking at the two people closest to him, Dong Yu felt indescribably moved, which also strengthened his thoughts.

"I must grow up quickly so I can protect these lovely people."

He patted Alice's hand gently, gave her a gentle smile, then walked towards Dongxue and held her slightly cold hand. Feeling the warmth in her brother's palm, Dongxue gradually calmed down.

"Sister! I'm grown up! It's time for me to protect you. How can I grow up if I stay under your protection? I'm the War Queen's younger brother!"

Dong Yu's words touched Dong Xue's heart slightly, and her eyes became moist. Looking at the boy in front of her, she knew that he had really grown up! In the end, she compromised.

"Okay! Go sign up! Don't let me down!"

"Don't worry, sister! Alice, don't go! It's too dangerous1"

Dong Yu looked at Alice with some worry, but Alice looked at Dong Yu with the same determination.

"If you can go, why can't I? I want to go too!"

"Alice..." Dong Yu wanted to persuade her again, but was interrupted by Alice.

"Humph! No need to say more! I must go! Don't think you're the only one who's making progress in this past year!"

"Okay! Sister, we'll leave first." Dong Yu, who knew Alice's temper, could only agree helplessly.

"Go!"

Dongxue smiled and nodded at him. At this moment, Dongyu suddenly discovered that Dongxue, who never liked to dress up, was actually wearing some jewelry, especially that necklace, which was more beautiful than any he had ever seen before, and he couldn't help but have an inexplicable feeling about it.

"Sister, your necklace is so beautiful! Did you buy it for some guy?"

"You little bastard, you dare to tease even my elder sister? Believe it or not, I will beat you to death. But you are right! This is indeed a necklace worn by a man!"

Dong Yu looked at her sweet sister in disbelief, and even doubted her own eyes. Could it be that the iron tree really blossomed? Did her elder sister finally find someone she liked? But that was fine, because she was afraid that no one would want her violent sister.

"Sister, can you tell me..."

"roll!"

Dong Yu, who was kicked, pulled Alice away with a laugh. What he didn't see was that there was a hint of doting hidden in Dong Xue's sweetness.
