Chapter 145: Formal Meeting

There was no need to observe anything further.

When Qin Fan sensed himself being locked onto by several intense presences, he immediately spotted several figures in the central area of Arena No. 1.

The surrounding students were also looking at them with fear and respect.

The first to catch his eye was the female figure standing in the center.

Qin Fan's immediate attention to this woman was due to her striking appearance and features.

She had dragon horns on her forehead, with long fiery red hair.

Her delicate, flawless features and red vertical pupils were striking.

She wasn't very tall, standing at about 1.6 meters with a cute figure, wearing a loose martial arts outfit that didn't hide her voluptuous form.

But don't let her childlike appearance fool you.

The aura of power emanating from her was enough to make anyone wary and awe-struck.

Additionally...

Qin Fan sensed a familiar dragon might from her.

Hmm...

Upon reflection, he realized it was identical to the dragon might emitted by his own Inferno Staff!

There was no need to guess her identity any further.

She must be the legendary student council president, and also the princess from the Dragonborn tribe, Anna Chris.

The Dragonborn tribe carries the bloodline of the Great Inferno Dragon.

It is said that the first Dragonborn was born from the union of a human man and a Great Inferno Dragon, and was revered as the 'royal family' among the Dragonborn.

Subsequently, other humans mated with higher-tier dragons, wyverns, and sub-dragons.

Thus, the Dragonborn tribe gradually developed.

Of course...

Before the Great Catastrophe, the Dragonborn tribe had not yet appeared in the world where Qin Fan resided.

These background stories belonged to another world where the Dragonborn originated.

However, this did not diminish the strength of this race.

Anything associated with 'dragon' is inherently powerful.

According to tradition, he, the fifth-ranked third-year, should have represented Feng Tian Academy as the fifth seed in the Longguo Country qualifiers.

But now the deans had steadfastly placed Qin Fan in that fifth seed spot.

Could he accept that?

This should have been his position!

Now he could only compete in the team competition!

The significance of individual and team competitions was different.

Winning in a team competition showcased teamwork and coordination, with possibly one MVP standing out.

Winning in an individual competition put all the spotlight on you, proving your personal strength.

Many previously unknown competitors had gained fame through individual battles in past World Championships.

Shi Tianyou naturally wanted the same.

But now, it seemed he didn't even have the chance, especially with his spot taken by a freshman!

So what if you beat Xue Sheng, that trash?

He was only a level 59, not yet in his third transition as a Sealed Demon Sword Soul!

I, Shi Tianyou, am a level 67, third transition Mechanical Overlord!

How can our strengths compare?

The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, his gaze at Qin Fan turning increasingly hostile.

"Alright, is everyone here?"

As the tension rose, making even the nearby spectators feel a confrontation was imminent, a gentle voice broke the silence.

Principal He Yalan, in her black stockings, stepped out from a small spatial teleportation array, followed by dozens of teaching staff.

Upon her appearance.

Principal He Yalan turned to look at a staff member.

Understanding her intent, the staff member immediately activated an isolation magic array, blocking the scene from outside view.

This was a necessary confidentiality measure.

After all, they were about to start training for the World Championship.

Details about the participants' talents, skill effects, and team strategies needed to be kept secret.
