Chapter 286: Chapter 142: First Round of the Finals_1

"Actually, I don’t have to be the team leader." Ling Menglu sighed, a hint of regret in her beautiful eyes.

Long Dangdang returned, returned by the cold rejection.

Long Dangdang shook his head, firm conviction in his eyes, "No. She’s not suitable as a leader. I noticed this when we faced off against the wraith legion last time. As a team leader, one must be decisive but also open to the opinions of others. That time, she was the captain, you were the vice-captain, but did she ever ask for your opinion? From start to finish, she made decisions unilaterally, commanding everything according to her personal thoughts. I don’t trust a team leader like that. If it were just me, it would be okay, but I can’t put Kongkong’s safety in the hands of someone like that. You’re different from her, you’re exceptionally talented, but your character isn’t dominant. You’re intelligent and know when to advance or retreat, yet you’re willing to step forward at critical moments at all costs. We’re at ease with you."

Listening to his words, the melancholy in Ling Menglu’s eyes gradually disappeared as a flash of astonishment crossed her beautiful eyes, causing her face to flush with delight, "Am I that good?"

"You are." Long Dangdang was thinking hard, making his own judgment calmly, so he didn’t notice the change in Ling Menglu’s expression.

Ling Menglu blushed a little, "You’re confessing to me just like that. I’m not ready yet. Although I am excellent, you need to be more gentler. Didn’t think you were that kind of person."

Long Dangdang looked up in surprise, "Are we talking about the same thing?"

Ling Menglu coughed, the blush on her face quickly faded, "You’re quite good too, brave, smart and decisive. You always have a trump card, which gives your teammates confidence when they are with you. Actually, you’d be a better team leader than me, after all, you’re a knight. It’s just a pity that you’re not a protection knight."

In most demon hunting teams, protection knights are the most important role and they have the greatest chance of becoming team leaders. This is because protection knights are always at the forefront, blocking powerful enemies, and thus they are most familiar with the enemy’s battle changes.

Long Dangdang forced a smile, "Let’s stop patting each other on the back. Cousin! If Zisang Liuying doesn’t want to be on our team, we’re going to have to think about how we put together our team moving forward. Tang Leiguang, Chu Yu, Cai Caijuan have all made it into the top eight, which means they can’t be picked in the first round. As long as they choose each other and form a team in the second round, we don’t stand a chance of picking them."

"That is indeed a problem. In any case, the three of us are set. It shouldn’t be too difficult to form a team with the others. After all, any candidate that makes it to the ranking match is no pushover. We should try to pick those who are ranked higher to form a team." Ling Menglu had a teasing look on her face as she spoke, "What about your mage sister? She also made it into the top eight this time, and there are only two mages in the top eight, aside from Zisang, it’s her."

Long Dangdang glanced at her, "Cousin! Why do I feel like you added vinegar to your green tea?"

"Nonsense, you’re the one adding vinegar."

The final round of the demon hunting team selection contest finally arrived.

The six segregated sections previously set up in the Holy City Grand Colosseum were all removed, revealing the entire colosseum.

On the main stage of the spectator seats, there is a faint luminous film covering it, making it impossible to see the situation inside. But there’s no doubt that the high-ranking members of the 6 Great Sacred Temples and even the Federation’s high-ranking officials would not be few in attendance. At least one Sacred Legate from each Temple would come to watch the competition.

Today is the first day of the final round, with a total of four matches, from eight to four. The eight contestants who made it to the final round will all receive rewards from their respective Temples. Making it into the top eight of the demon hunting team selection contest means they are outstanding and naturally will receive encouragement from their respective temples.

The quality of the reward depends upon the final ranking. After the eight to four stage, the rankings for fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth will be decided by the judges based on their performance and no additional matches will be held. Tomorrow is the semi-finals, and the day after will be the direct finals. The whole competition schedule is very tightly packed.

Long Kongkong came with Long Dangdang and Ling Menglu. The demon hunting team members who made it to the top sixty are eligible to watch the final round, as they also have to see the strength of their future team leader.

The eight contestants and the other demon hunting team selection competition participants who made it to the ranking match are now gathered in the waiting area. The waiting area is located next to the podium in the stands, not in the field like before. Today’s four matches will take place one after the other.

Zisang Liuying arrived earlier. Sitting with her were Cyclical Reincarnation’s prodigy, Chu Yu, Thunder Sword Saint Tang Leiguang, and White Phoenix Cai Caijuan.

Seeing the three Long Dangdang arrive, their gazes naturally gathered on them. Zisang Liuying looked at Ling Menglu, and Ling Menglu reciprocated with a slight smile. However, Zisang Liuying immediately turned her head with a cold face.

Ling Menglu sighed gently, "You’re right, Zisang really is getting stronger. When she was young, she wasn’t like this. At most, she was just eager to win."

Long Dangdang replied, "Being tight and relaxed, the path of literature and martial arts."

Long Kongkong quickly joined in, "That’s right, cousin is better!"
