However, Shen Yan and the other two didn't react much.
"Team 3: He Changming, Liu Bai, Lin Lucheng, with He Changming as the main commander."
Finally, a normal combination appeared, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Team 4: An Qi, Chong Chao, Zhao Qi, with Zhao Qi as the main commander."
What?!
Zhao Qi?
How could it be Zhao Qi? Isn't he a substitute?
The chubby Zhao Qi himself pointed at himself blankly, suspecting his ears were playing tricks on him. Otherwise, how could he hear his own name on the participant list for the team competition?
Ling Fanxing, who was beside him, suddenly grabbed his shoulder, a look of excitement on his face: "Old Zhao, did you hear that? You've been chosen! You can participate in the Blue Sun Cup!"
"Ah?"
Zhao Qi remained dazed.
At this moment, Wu Cai suddenly stood up and questioned loudly: "Coach Yuan, why? Zhao Qi isn't a main player, he's just a substitute. He's not qualified to be selected for the team competition at all! And you even made him the main commander! Is he worthy?"
Yuan Hu's heroic eyebrows furrowed.
"I chose him."
Mingxi suddenly stood up, looked at Wu Cai, and said, "Zhao Qi was recommended by me to the coaches. I believe his overall perspective and tactical thinking are very strong. If his Wangfeng Crow and Sand Stacker mature, he will definitely have a place in the top 10 of the New Talent Rankings."
She had watched many competition recordings of Zhao Qi during his climb up the rankings. Zhao Qi's first contracted pet beast was a Wangfeng Crow.
This type of pet beast is quite special; it's very, very weak in its early stages. It needs to evolve to General-level or even higher. Its racial characteristic, Wang Pingqiu, only truly unleashes its strength after evolving into Wangyunfeng.
Zhao Qi was relatively unlucky.
After his Wangfeng Crow evolved to General-level, its characteristic Wang Pingqiu remained Wang Pingqiu.
This meant he relied entirely on his Advanced Level pet beast Sand Stacker and Intermediate Level pet beast Whistling Wind Spirit to climb into the top twenty of the New Talent Rankings.
No tactics, no ability, could he have done it?
Wu Cai was a teammate now, so Mingxi didn't speak too harshly, her tone wasn't aggressive, but more like she was stating a fact.
Otherwise, what she would have said was—"If his Wangfeng Crow and Sand Stacker mature, do you think you'd still be ranked 15th on the New Talent Rankings?"
At this moment, Yu Xuantong also spoke: "The Blue Sun Cup has never stipulated that substitute players cannot participate.
Main player and substitute are just internal designations within the representative team. To the Blue Sun Cup organizing committee, all 20 of you are members of the Dragonflower Country representative team.
So, student Wu, do you understand where you went wrong?"
Wu Cai's face darkened, and she sat back down without saying a word.
The small interlude came to an end.
Zhao Qi was already so moved, excited, and trembling that tears streamed down his face.
He never thought Ming Shen would think so highly of him!
Ming Shen is indeed yyds!
Yuan Hu continued, "Finally, Team 5: Mingxi."
Everyone blinked.
Waiting—
Yuan Hu calmly met their gaze.
"Coach Yuan, what else? Is Team 5 just Mingxi alone?" Xu Jiu boldly asked.
Yuan Hu nodded.
"Yes, Mingxi is a one-person team."
Those who had thought they might have a chance to team up with Mingxi instantly lost all hope.
The others were somewhat slow to react.
Mingxi, a one-person team?
Meaning... she alone would participate in the team competition as a single team?
Was Mingxi about to make history again?
"This afternoon is mainly for team cohesion. I know time is very limited, but I believe you can do very well.
Tomorrow morning, we will depart for Suweia, the capital of Tasang Country.
Oh, and your team uniforms have been delivered to your respective rooms. Starting tomorrow, everyone must wear their team uniforms."
Mingxi thought everyone's team uniforms would be unique.
But when they gathered, she realized that only she was the unique one.
The other people's team uniforms were almost identical, with only the difference between men's pants and women's skirts.
Their clothes were red and white casual sets, with a dominant red color and white as an accent. They looked a bit vibrant, but because they were well-tailored, the boys looked handsome and dignified, and the girls looked elegant and proper.
But her team uniform was different.
The entire set was chili red, the same color as Golden Yuanbao's Heaven and Earth Thunder Eye.
The upper body was a loose hooded pullover hoodie. The hood was made especially soft, lined with velvet, and the outer «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» rim of the hood was adorned with silver sequins, resembling Little Silver Flower's dragon scales.
On the right chest was a somewhat unique and exaggerated... let's call it a brooch.
It consisted of a proportionally scaled-down white porcelain mask and four fluffy fox tails.
Although exaggerated, how could it look so inexplicably good when combined?
The lower body was relatively simple, a girl's small pleated skirt, but it was a skort for ease of movement, quite well-covered.
There were also matching shoes and socks.
The socks were white long socks, with a small mermaid in the shape of a Black Pearl attached to the outer side of the right sock.
The shoes were also white sneakers.
In addition, there was a dozen red cotton masks, with a purplish-gold feather embroidered on the upper right corner, which was Golden Yuanbao's feather.
Aside from the red jade, this entire outfit on her was full of Gold, Silver, and Blue elements.
"Wow, Captain, why is your team uniform different from ours?"
"Leader Yu, you're biased! Why is Mingxi's outfit specially designed, while the rest of ours are so casual?"
"Captain is so cute today."
"Isn't she always cute? But she does look even cuter in this outfit."
"These clothes make her skin look even fairer."
"Leader Yu, we protest! We want to wear the same as Ming Shen!"
Yu Xuantong smiled: "Protest denied. Mingxi's team uniform was specially designed for her by the chief designer of Ling Ye Group. It's her perk as Ling Ye's endorser. Are you Ling Ye's endorsers?"
Ling Ye was truly cunning, using the excuse of giving benefits to its endorser to advertise its own brand.
Once Mingxi appeared in this outfit at the Blue Sun Cup...
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
When this set goes on sale to the public later, Yu Xuantong could already foresee the overwhelming popularity.
"Chong, aren't you the young master of Ling Ye? Why didn't your family's chief designer specially design a set for you too?"
Chong Chao shrugged: "Young masters aren't worth it." freewebnovel.cσ๓
"Alright, it's time to head to the airport."
Half an hour later, their group of 65 people appeared at Emperor Capital International Airport.
Red is already eye-catching.
Let alone such a large group of them. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"It's the Blue Sun Cup representative team."
"Which one is Mingxi?"
"Ah! Ahhh! I see my husband!"
"Who's your husband?"
"Who else? Of course, it's Lu Yun Shen!"
"Who can tell me which one is Mingxi?"
"The one wearing the mask must be my Ming Shen; she's so mysterious right now."
"The shortest one must be Mingxi! Her color is different from everyone else's!"
"How can you talk like that? She's clearly the cutest one!"
"Ming Shen! Look this way!"
Before they caused a blockade and congestion, Yu Xuantong and the others quickly sped up and rushed into the VIP lounge prepared specially for them.
