X-Dragon Era-Chapter 581 - s Golden Sword Torrent
Although this opportunity also gave Po Kong the chance to ascend to the world's strongest throne, let's not forget that no matter what, the captain is Xin Yun. The more formidable his teammates are, the more fame he gains. If they truly become champions, then undoubtedly, most of the glory will fall upon Xin Yun.
It's safe to say that the relationship between Xin Yun and Po Kong is mutually beneficial, with Po Kong gaining the opportunity to reach the pinnacle because of Xin Yun's invitation, and Xin Yun standing to shine even brighter from Po Kong's addition. To become Po Kong's captain was unimaginable in a past life.
Taking a deep breath, Xin Yun smiled and said, "Alright, time is pressing, the afternoon match is about to start. If we don't want to be disqualified for being late, we should get moving."
"Huh?" Po Kong looked bewildered upon hearing Xin Yun's words, asking uncertainly, "What? Do I have to play in this afternoon's match?"
In response to Po Kong's question, Xin Yun nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying have already played this morning. Therefore, for the next match, I must pair up with two substitutes and so..."
"Great…" Po Kong exclaimed excitedly, waving his hand and laughing, "In that case, what are we waiting for? I can hardly wait to compete with you and see who will defeat their opponent first." While speaking, Po Kong was the first to stride out, quickly heading towards the exit of the training hall.
Ten minutes later, Xin Yun, Po Kong, Yi Luo Xiang, Yan Qingying, and Ming Xuan walked proudly into the arena. For the upcoming matches, Xin Yun had no concerns; at the very least, within Mountain Sea Academy, Xin Yun's team was invincible.
When Xin Yun and the others arrived at the arena, the whole place was already full to the brim, making their arrival the last among the crowd.
The reason for this wasn't that Xin Yun was too slow or that Po Kong had delayed too much time. The main issue was that Xin Yun and his two teammates left the academy before the end of the morning match, returning to Hub in the Sky, hence they missed the news released later. Coupled with arriving late in the afternoon, they ended up as the slowest team.
However, Xin Yun and his companions managed to find their last teammate on time and arrived at the venue on schedule, which was enough. Being a bit early or late made no difference.
In the afternoon match, there were only forty-six teams left. The other teams either lost, or their main players were beaten so badly they couldn't continue the following matches, or they weren't able to find substantial substitutes and chose to forfeit. There were many reasons, which need not be stated one by one.

The forty-six teams would fight in pairs across twenty-three matches. If these were spread across ten arenas, then the second round of matches could be settled in at most three rounds.
Only two matches were scheduled in Xin Yun's arena, and Xin Yun's team was ready for the first one. As they hurried to the venue, an announcement sounded, signaling the teams of the first match to enter the waiting room to prepare for battle. The match would start in five minutes. Under the time pressure, Xin Yun and the others said nothing more and directly walked toward the waiting room.
"What! Everyone, look, that...that's him!" Finally, as Xin Yun and his companions moved, their presence was noticed by the audience, who all turned their heads in surprise.
What shocked everyone most was not Xin Yun, nor the beauty of Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying, but the presence of Po Kong. Who at Mountain Sea Academy wouldn't know or recognize this well-known King of the Institute, the Head of the Institute—Po Kong!
Yes, recognize… Everyone recognized him, but it was precisely because they knew him that they were all the more shocked. Po Kong's presence here, in the small team centered around Xin Yun, made everything clear. Especially after counting the number of people in the team, no explanation was needed.
Everyone knew that as of now, the team captain could no longer be changed. This meant that Po Kong had actually joined the Fantasy Dream Team and did so as a substitute, as a team member!
The so-called Peak Battle Team was a name Xin Yun had chosen for the team; it had been decided even before Po Kong had joined, and now it's probably too late to change it.
As for the so-called Fantasy Dream Team, everyone knows it was the greatest basketball team in human history, also known as the Dream Team. Xin Yun named his team after the Dream Team with the hope that his team, too, would sweep the world!
The mythology surrounding the Dream Team is vast. From the day Dream One Team disbanded, people claimed it was the greatest basketball team in human history, unmatched in the past and likely unmatched in the future.
Among the many legends of the Dream Team, what Xin Yun admired most was not the record of winning by an average of over thirty points. In fact, Xin Yun considered that to be understated; if the team had really gotten serious, that margin would have terrifyingly skyrocketed to unimaginable realms.
Perhaps some might not believe it, but facts are facts, and they do not shift for anyone's will. Back then... in their first Olympic game, the Dream Team faced Angola, and that game became the only match in which the Dream Team gave their full effort!
