95: Chapter 95 Brother, you're a genius!

With the unauthorized personnel cleared away, the proceedings finally returned to the right track.

Tian Lin, Grade Head quickly adjusted his state, put on a Professional smile, and respectfully guided Wu Tian, Li Zhenhai, and Zhou Hanguang to their seats in the VIP area behind the podium.

Immediately after, he picked up the microphone and signaled to the staff below the stage.

The broadcast sound began, and the stirring music instantly ignited the atmosphere of the entire venue.

"Will the representatives of the top three teams please come up to the stage to receive their awards!"

Under the gaze of everyone, the members of the three teams slowly walked onto the podium.

Standing at the host's position, Tian Lin, Grade Head announced in a booming voice:

"Alright, after several days of intense competition, I announce the final results of this Freshman Challenge Tournament!"

"The third place winner of this challenge tournament is—Water Dragon Team! With 650 points!"

A round of applause that could not be considered enthusiastic rang out.

"The second place winner of this challenge tournament is—Five Rings Team! With 2280 points!"

The applause was a bit more enthusiastic.

The Five Rings Team had been steady and solid, occupying the first place position for 90% of the tournament's duration; their strength was unquestionable.

Next, Tian Lin, Grade Head paused, took a deep breath, and his voice suddenly rose by an octave:

"Finally! The champion of this Freshman Challenge Tournament is—"

"Our... Nirvana Battle Team!! With 2400 points!!"

"Boom—!!"

As Tian Lin, Grade Head's voice fell, the entire audience area of the trial grounds instantly boiled over!

Cheers and screams erupted like a tsunami, almost blowing the roof off.

"Nirvana! Nirvana!"

"Goddess Su is invincible!"

"Chen Xi is awesome!"

"Li Murou, I love you!"

Chen Xi was also a bit curious about this scene.

How did Nirvana become so popular all of a sudden?

However, he didn't have much time to think about it.

Amidst the deafening cheers.

Chen Xi walked onto the highest step of the podium with a calm expression.

At this moment, all the spotlights were on him, and Chen Xi instantly became the sole focus of the entire school.

Striking while the iron was hot, Tian Lin, Grade Head continued to host:

"Congratulations to our Nirvana Battle Team for winning the championship of this Freshman Challenge Tournament! Next, we will proceed to the grand award ceremony!"

"First, our Vice Principal Zhou Hanguang will present the awards to the third-place Water Dragon Team!"

Zhou Hanguang had already adjusted his emotions by this time.

Although his face was still a bit pale, he forced a smile and walked onto the stage to present the medals to the members of the Water Dragon Team.

It was just that the smile looked forced no matter how one looked at it, obviously still not having recovered from the shock just now.

"Next, our Wu Tian will present the awards to the second-place Five Rings Team!"

Wu Tian was beaming, happily presenting the awards to the members of the Five Rings Team, and did not forget to offer a few words of encouragement:

"Not bad! Keep up the good work!"

Finally, Tian Lin, Grade Head's voice became incredibly solemn, even carrying a hint of a tremor:

"Finally! Let us welcome with the warmest applause our special guest—Minister of the Military Department of Jiang City, Li Zhenhai, to personally present the awards to our champions, the Nirvana Battle Team!"

Once these words were spoken, the entire venue was in an uproar.

The students who were still cheering had a moment of stunned silence, followed by an explosion of discussion even more frantic than before.

"Holy crap?! Did I hear that right? The Minister of the Military Department?!"

"Oh my god! That middle-aged man sitting in the middle is actually Li Zhenhai?! I heard that the Li Zhenhai has another title, called something... God of Killing!"

"Damn! I was wondering why the atmosphere of this Freshman Challenge Tournament felt off, the school actually mobilized so many heavyweight figures! So it was the big boss from the Military Department who came!"

"This is a truly big shot! I usually only see them on the news, I didn't expect him to come to our school to watch the freshman competition?"

"The Nirvana Battle Team has so much face! To actually have the number one person in the Military Department present the award personally! The value of this gold medal is simply off the charts!"

In the audience, countless students were so excited that their faces turned red and their necks thick.

For these Professional students who aspired to become strong, an existence at the level of the Minister of the Military Department was a living legend, an idol they looked up to.

At this moment, a First-Year University Student suddenly stared at the three people on stage thoughtfully, muttering to himself:

"Hey, do you guys think... the Nirvana Battle Team only seems to have three people?"

The classmate next to him was stunned:

"So what if there are three people? They can win the championship with just three people, which shows their strength is strong."

The First-Year University Student's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh suddenly:

"No! Think about it, the standard battle team configuration is five people, they only have three! That means... there are still two slots open!"

"Do you think if I apply to join the team now, I have a chance of getting in?"

This sentence was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves.

The surrounding classmates seemed to have been enlightened, and their eyes instantly became fiery.

"Holy crap! Brother, you are a genius!"

"That's right! The Nirvana Battle Team is short of people! And they are the championship team now, and have the attention of the big boss from the Military Department, if I could sneak in, wouldn't I take off?"

"I want to join the team! I want to hug their thighs!"

"Senior Chen Xi, look at me! I am a 36D powerful healer!"

For a time, the audience became a mess.

Many students who were originally just drifting in other teams even quit their teams on the spot, just to free themselves up to apply to join Nirvana.

At this moment, Chen Xi, who was standing on the podium waiting to receive the award, suddenly felt the smart bracelet on his wrist vibrate.

"Ding ding ding ding ding ding—"

The bracelet was like it had gone crazy, buzzing non-stop, forming a series of harsh beeps.

"Hmm?"

Chen Xi frowned slightly and curiously raised his wrist to take a look.

Upon seeing this, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop twitching wildly.

He saw that on the semi-transparent projection screen, the messages applying to join the team were scrolling crazily like a waterfall, almost crashing the system.
