After Lu Wu's team defeated Team 038,

the official media immediately reported on them as an absolute dark horse.

They made their Team 233 replace Team 038 as the seeded team in the Quancheng Cup.

This action by the officials further pushed Team 233 into the spotlight.

Team 233 received unprecedented attention.

This was something even Lu Wu hadn't expected.

Although he initially wanted to become the dark horse of the Quancheng Cup, he didn't expect to be one on the first day of the competition.

This victory, this success, came a bit too fast, and Lu Wu felt it might not be a good thing for them.

If possible, he hoped to follow the usual pattern.

Starting by facing less capable teams, then leveling up by battling monsters, gaining experience and honing the team, and finally bursting out to defeat the seeded team to become the dark horse.

Such a progression route seemed more suitable for their team.

Suddenly being elevated to the status of a seeded player made Lu Wu feel somewhat uneasy.

His main worry was about Hao Zhijian's mindset.

He feared the young man might get too full of himself.

Over the past month, he frequently put him in his place precisely because he knew this kid was extremely prone to arrogance, and if he swelled up, Lu Wu's team would be hard to manage.

Moreover, Lu Wu also worried that he might do something foolish.

Well, it turned out that Lu Wu's worry wasn't without reason, without necessity.

Almost immediately after the match ended and the Quancheng Cup reports came out, while Lu Wu was still in the summoning beast crowd with girls, Hao Zhijian directly shared the related reports on his social media account.

With the caption, "Thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west side, don't bully a poor young man."

And after thinking for a moment, he even @Ye Qingxue.

Actually, Hao Zhijian's mindset was understandable.

He felt that it was hard for him to get into the honors class.

On the first day, he went to find Lu Wu, for whom? Wasn't it for Ye Qingxue?

As a result, he stood up for Ye Qingxue and got beaten up, and Ye Qingxue didn't feel sorry or comfort him, instead, she directly kicked him out of the honors class.

This event dealt a heavy blow to Hao Zhijian's not-so-fragile heart, causing him to hate Ye Qingxue.

Over the past month and more, Hao Zhijian's heart had been holding a grudge, a grudge to beat Ye Qingxue's honors class, to prove himself, and to give Ye Qingxue a hard slap.

And now, Hao Zhijian felt he had achieved this.

On the first day of the Quancheng Cup, he defeated the seeded Team 038, and he was the MVP of the match.

Such a dazzling performance, plus the official's praise, made Hao Zhijian lose himself for a moment. Plus, Lu Wu was surrounded by girls at the time and couldn't wake him up in time, so he ended up doing something as foolish as sharing the report and slapping Ye Qingxue in the face.

He just wanted to slap Ye Qingxue in the face, but what he didn't expect was the chain reaction caused by this move.

It's important to know that because of this first match's turnaround, at this point, he was the hot topic of the Quancheng Cup.

Many official and unofficial media were paying attention to him, eager for related explosive points.

Once he posted "Thirty years on the east side of the river" as long as one was not blind, they would have known there was a story behind it.

As a result, all sorts of people swarmed like cats smelling fish.

In these cases, just fear someone with intent to investigate, an investigation would quickly yield results. While Lu Wu was still in the girl crowd, the story of Hao Zhijian and Ye Qingxue and even Lu Wududu's were dug up and various reports were released at the first opportunity.

When Lu Wu came out of the girl crowd and opened the Quancheng Cup's official website, his face instantly turned dark.

The entire official website was filled with related information pushes, such as "Inspirational, the team kicked out of the honors class, a month of hard training becoming the strongest dark horse of the Quancheng Cup!"

"Shocking, the unknown past of a beautiful teacher and star student genius!"

"Tear-jerking, an infatuated ordinary girl had her future ruined by a scumbag?"

"Expecting, when will the destined battle between the strongest dark horse and the primary seed team come?"

Teacher-student, turnaround, scumbag, face-slapping...

These were the kind of stories the masses loved the most.

Therefore, even though these reports had only been out for a short time, they quickly captured the attention of the onlookers, firmly occupying the hotspot, further pushing Lu Wu's team and Ye Qingxue into the limelight.

This made Lu Wu furious.

With a dark face, he dragged Hao Zhijian out of the training hall and found a deserted place to scold him.

"What's actually in that head of yours?

I have told you more than once, set this matter aside for me, we can't beat them yet, don't create hostility. But as soon as I said it, you immediately forgot, didn't you?"

"With what you did now, everyone knows. What are you trying to do? Tell me, do you know the consequences of doing this?"

At this moment, due to the past month's experience of being suppressed by Lu Wu, Hao Zhijian still feared Lu Wu.

Despite his reluctance, he still lowered his head, not daring to speak loudly, only managing a small protest: "I never thought a single post would cause such a big stir, besides, it's Ye Qingxue who was too much.

She didn't even give Brother Lu a chance before kicking him out of the honors class. Although Brother Lu doesn't care, I just couldn't stand it!"

One had to admit, this kid knew how to talk.

He even tried to use this opportunity to elicit sympathy from Lu Wu.

These words indeed had some effect, as soon as he said it, Lu Wu's face softened a little.

Of course, it couldn't have been completely softened, the incident had already happened, what could Lu Wu do now? Beat this brat?

That wouldn't solve the problem either!

Helpless, Lu Wu could only drag Hao Zhijian along with a dark face.

Being dragged like this made Hao Zhijian a bit anxious: "Brother Lu, where are we going?"

"Training, if we don't train how will we fight that so-called destined battle?"

......

Compared to Lu Wu's side, which wasn't too bad.

Despite his anger, he could quickly control his emotions, but Ye Qingxue's side was in real trouble.

When the incident happened, Ye Qingxue was giving her students a breakdown of the match, pointing out their mistakes during the game.

In the middle of her explanation, a daydreaming student suddenly exclaimed.

"Teacher, quickly open the Quancheng Cup official website and see!"

Ye Qingxue immediately shot a look full of killing intent: "What's the panic? Is the sky falling? How many times have I told you, stay calm when something happens, don't be swayed by your emotions. None of you listened, did you?"

After reprimanding the student, who trembled in fear, Ye Qingxue then picked up her phone: "Let me see what made you so flustered!

Could it be a seeded team…"

While speaking, Ye Qingxue opened the official website of the Quancheng Cup.

Instantly, her pretty face lost all expression, the words she was saying stopped halfway, and the atmosphere at the scene froze...
