No one expected the starting lineup to be Wang Lan and Duan Ziqi. One was a commoner genius who had long ranked among the top three in the school, and the other was a former academic genius who had risen rapidly within a year.
As sighs for the cruelty of this match arose, discussions about Wang Lan buzzed in the stands the moment the match-up chart appeared.
Wang Lan's strength had always been a mystery. Though only at the Star Shine Stage, he had managed to instantly defeat Zhuang Haotian of the Star Cloud Stage in the first match. Consequently, many believed Wang Lan had better odds of winning this match than Duan Ziqi.
But no sooner was this speculation voiced than it was bombarded with disagreements from those nearby.
