659 Chapter 659 Nervous
659 Chapter 659 “Nervous“
Li Shi Ying and the others quickly went to the tournament’s place. The emperor had prepared a gorgeous golden stage for the last battle in the tournament, as well as provide a vast area for the audience to come to watch the battle, making the place for the last tournament look so gorgeously awesome.
"Wow, there are so many people here!" Li Shi Ying couldn’t help but gasp in surprise, seeing how many people gathered to watch the final battle. She saw a huge arena made of pure gold in the middle of a large stadium-like place. There were so many seats surrounding the golden stage, creating a perfect large circle with the stage as the center.
There was a little space around the stage where people could watch from a close distance but of course, they had to stand, and only a few people could be there. The rest would sit down on the prepared seats.
At this time, even when the tournament hadn’t started, Li Shi Ying could see half of the seats around the stage were already occupied. Everyone was busy talking to each other making noises everywhere around the last battle place.
Even the ’special’ standing area for the audience was already filled with numerous people, around 50 or so. The place was bustling with noise from the audience, somehow creating invisible pressure down Li Shi Ying’s shoulder.
"This...the last battle will be watched by this many people?" Li Shi Ying glanced around to see people from various countries, as well as students wearing uniforms from many academies, already waiting patiently for the last battle to begin.
"Yes, for the final battle the crowd hasn’t been this great since a long time ago. My battle before wasn’t watched by this many people." Wei Zhuang answered Li Shi Ying with a slight smile on his face.
He wasn’t too nervous before because the audience was only half the audience today, but he could imagine how Li Shi Ying felt now. Her academy’s fate laid in her hands and whether she won or not, all of it would be witnessed by this many people.
He assumed that this place was similar to a small football stadium, so at least 5,000 people could fit in. But from what he saw...maybe 10,000 people already came to watch!
No wonder Li Shi Ying would feel pressured. Even if he had to fight in front of this many people..he would tremble and lose confidence.
"I see..." Li Shi Ying took a seat for participants very near to the stage with her teammates as her body trembled slightly. She saw that across her seat, on the other side of the stage, Meng Yue Ming and her team also already sat down, waiting for the tournament to begin.
Li Shi Ying stole a glance at Meng Yue Ming’s face, and didn’t see even the slightest hint of being nervous. Meng Yue Ming looked so confident that she could win the last battle. Even this many people couldn’t make her feel pressured.
Seeing that Meng Yue Ming was brimming with confidence, Li Shi Ying’s heart sunk to the bottom. She wasn’t confident in her skills that she just mastered. Compared to Meng Yue Ming who had rich experience in real-life battles...her experience was nothing.
Added to that female lead halo...could she even win?
Li Shi Ying’s palms began to sweat and her throat went dry. Her forehead was suddenly drenched in sweat as the girl gripped the hem of her dress tightly with trembling hands.
Just when Li Shi Ying was feeling down, pressured and nervous, a hand suddenly landed on her palm, sending warmth and a strange sense of comfort.
"Don’t worry you will be fine." Long Ao Zhen gripped Li Shi Ying’s palm within his palm as he smiled to the girl. Just one smile from this man managed to melt away all of Li Shi Ying’s worries and nervousness.
"Y-yes." Li Shi Ying nodded her head as she looked up. She heard from her master that he would be watching her from a special seat among the audience’s seats. She better find him first so she could feel a bit calmer.
Meng Yue Ming was used to being the center of people’s attention but not her. Never in her life had she faced so many people, even when she did a speech or public speaking. That’s why...she needed to calm down by seeing her master’s face!
Li Shi Ying could easily see the special seat among the other seats as the seat was made of gold, while other seats were made of normal stone. In the special seating area she could see the royal family, along with her master, chatting quite well.
’That is master...’ Li Shi Ying silently thought in her heart, and upon discovering that the man suddenly looked at her with a bright smile on his face, her heart suddenly felt warm. Long Ao Zhen and her master’s help were really plenty.
Just by being here, both of them managed to make her feel less nervous!
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the last battle! The battle between Dong Xi Academy and Liang Xin Academy will start in a minute." A staff member suddenly came onto the stage and made an announcement, startling Li Shi Ying for a bit.
The last battle will begin soon!
