Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

The first to take the stage was the Five-Star Mercenary Group. Feng Shengxie and Bei Chen Haoyu stared intently at the arena, but Feng Shengxie was more focused on the arena where Lie Yan was, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Sensing Feng Shengxie's unusual behavior today, Bei Chen Haoyu couldn't help but feel a bit curious. He turned his head to look at Feng Shengxie, his tone carrying a hint of inquiry.

"President Feng, judging from your expectant expression, do you already have someone in mind?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Shengxie smiled broadly. "He hasn't appeared in any previous matches, so just wait and see. I guarantee this duel will bring you a surprise."

Upon hearing this, Bei Chen Haoyu's curiosity intensified, and his gaze involuntarily followed Feng Shengxie's guidance, landing on the arena where Lie Yan was located.

"Fierce Flames Challenge Gale, please welcome the two participating teams to the stage!"

The referee announced loudly, his face flushed with excitement. He had been looking forward to this match for a long time, after all, it was the highlight of the day.

As soon as the referee finished speaking, the atmosphere in the stadium instantly ignited. The audience spontaneously rose from their seats, their movements perfectly synchronized, as if meticulously choreographed, waving their fists and shouting loudly.

"Flames, flames, flames..."

Standing amidst this fervor, Bei Chen Haoyu was awestruck by the sheer enthusiasm, muttering to himself, "Is Lie Yan really that popular?"

If he remembered correctly, Blazing Flame was the team that won all three matches yesterday, right? Aside from the youngest kid who had a bit of talent, the rest were pretty average. What's more, today they're challenging Gale, a team one level higher than them; whether they can win is hard to say.

Feng Shengxie, standing to the side, merely smiled faintly. He did not directly respond to Bei Chen Haoyu's question, but instead gave a subtle look, as if to say, "Let's wait and see."

Bei Chen Haoyu stopped asking questions and silently moved his stool forward a few steps, focusing intently on the arena.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on this small arena, as if the whole world was holding its breath for the upcoming duel.

However, neither team appeared for a long time, and a subtle anxiety filled the air, with murmurs rising and falling among the audience.

The referee's voice rang out again, "Flame and Gale, please come to the front of the stage immediately!"

Just then, several members of the Gale Mercenary Group slowly walked through the crowd toward the arena. They held their heads high, expecting cheers from the audience, but instead they were met with almost indifferent indifference. The audience kept repeating one name in their mouths—"Blazing Flame"!

Hearing these shouts, the five people's faces were filled with embarrassment and helplessness, and their steps became slightly heavy. Their existence seemed to have been completely erased, and they became unseen supporting characters in this grand feast.

In the area where the Gale Mercenary Group was located, the leader of Gale, Wu Haotian, had a gloomy face. Although his heart was churning with turmoil, he still maintained his calm and restraint.

He took a deep breath, thinking to himself, "Just wait! Without that boy, how long can its raging flames remain so rampant?"

The referee's gaze fell on the empty arena, but no one from the "Blazing Flame" team stepped forward to fight. He was startled for a moment, but quickly regained his composure and called out, "Please, the Blazing Flame team, come forward."

As soon as the words fell, a series of light footsteps followed, accompanied by everyone's gaze. Zhan Jiuyou led Feng Wuyai, Mo Sanniang, and Feng Tianyi towards the arena.

The referee's gaze swept through the blazing team, but he couldn't find the legendary young genius. He frowned slightly, a hint of doubt rising in his heart. Finally, he reminded him in a tone that was as inconspicuous as possible.

"Commander, it seems you've only sent four people..."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Jiuyou simply smiled and remained silent.

This scene, however, caused the people on the other side to burst into laughter, especially one of the men, whose laughter was tinged with provocation and contempt.

"It seems that the boy won't be able to come. If he knows what's good for him, he should admit defeat sooner rather than later, so as not to embarrass himself in front of everyone."

Upon hearing this, Feng Tianyi's eyes flashed with disdain, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips as he retorted directly, "I'll say the same to you!"

"Where is that boy? If he's not here, what's the point of this match?"

"Yes, I came all the way from Cloud Mist City just to see him fight!"

The audience's discussions surged like a tide, and a sinister smile appeared on the faces of the leader of the Gale Mercenary Group, as well as Zhang Laosan, Black Blade, and others, as if they were enjoying the psychological advantage brought by the absence of their opponents.

"Hahaha—without that boy, Blazing Flame is just an empty shell." Their laughter echoed in the noisy arena, adding to the tense atmosphere.

"Are you three laughing so happily because I'm not here?"

A childish voice rang in their ears, and the three people's expressions changed abruptly, replaced by shock and wariness.

Then, almost in the blink of an eye, a dark figure silently appeared before them. This figure was Lu Lingxi Yao. A wicked smile that did not belong to her age was on her tender face. Her eyes were fixed on Wu Haotian, the leader of the Gale Mercenary Group, without the slightest fear. Instead, she looked like a supreme being who held the power of life and death, looking down at the ants at her feet.

The veins on Wu Haotian's neck stood out prominently due to shock and anger. He was filled with disbelief. He had sent a Spirit Venerable expert, yet Leng Aotian, who was merely a Spirit King, was standing unharmed in front of him. This left the three people present completely bewildered.

"Regiment...leader!"

A servant from the Gale Mercenary Group rushed over in a panic, his voice trembling noticeably. When his gaze fell upon the unharmed Lu Lingxi Yao, his fear intensified, and he even began to stammer.

Wu Haotian's deep, suppressed voice squeezed out from deep in his throat: "What is it?"

The servant dared not delay in the slightest and quickly leaned close to Wu Haotian's ear, whispering in an almost inaudible voice: "The Spirit Venerable assassin sent out is... dead."

The fall of the Spirit Lord assassin was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for them. Could it be that the young man had a powerful ally behind him that they were unaware of?

Wu Haotian clenched his fists, spitting out a few words through gritted teeth, each word filled with intense hatred and murderous intent.

"Hmph! I underestimated you, Leng Aotian!"

Lu Lingxi Yao simply smiled calmly, a smile that contained both mockery and a hint of confidence. "No need to rush. After today, you'll have plenty of 'opportunities' to look forward to!"

After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the arena, leaving the members of the Gale Mercenary Group behind her, who looked astonished and angry.

In front of the arena, as the referee was confirming with Zhan Jiuyou whether they would participate in the competition as a four-person team, a childish voice rang out.

"Sorry! I'm late!"

Everyone's gaze involuntarily followed the sound, turning in unison to the entrance, where a slender yet agile figure was slowly stepping in.

On the high platform, Feng Shengxie's face, which had been so solemn it was almost frozen, instantly relaxed upon seeing Lu Lingxi Yao's figure.

Bei Chen Haoyu stared intently at the boy who came to the front of the line, his eyes full of surprise and curiosity. Then, a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

"A girl? Heh~ Interesting!"

Lu Lingxi, who wears a thousand-face mask and transforms into a man, never imagined that there is an eye in this world called the Holy Eye, which can recognize all aspects of human life and discern the true nature of all things.

Although only one in tens of thousands of years has ever had such eyes, it just so happens that Bei Chen Haoyu has them.
