The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 587

Chapter 587: Chapter 587: The Academy Grand Tournament—Second Round Begins

The academy competition’s first match sparked lively discussions for another day.

Aside from Elysia Xander’s animated graphic going viral in Spiritual Affairs, even more talk focused on Scarlett Jennings.

Previously, many people had seen Scarlett Jennings perform in live-streaming variety shows, but in everyone’s eyes, she was just a Talisman Master with relatively strong talent and ability.

But after yesterday, everyone suddenly realized.

The talent Scarlett Jennings displayed in the previous shows might not be her full potential.

Putting aside other matters, learning high-level Fire Thunder Talisman and Void Talisman on the spot; even just one of these, no student in the academy now, even the ones considered most talented like Gregory Xander and Elysia Xander, could achieve.

There might have been students in the past, but they were once remarkably gifted figures within their generation of Mystical Sect.

But even those people never thought of merging talismans with Demon Energy!

This isn’t something that can be explained by talent alone.

In summary, after the first match, Scarlett Jennings became completely famous in the Mystical Sect.

Previously, they might have just heard of her, but now they are focusing on her.

So, after settling for a day, on the third day, when the second match of the academy competition began, everyone visibly noticed a change.

Firstly, there were more people at the venue!

Secondly, the number of people watching the live broadcast online increased several times over.

From the audience seats, there were students whispering,

"Is today’s live broadcast a bit laggy?"

"Don’t mention it, I just logged onto Spiritual Affairs broadcast channel intending to watch both fronts, but got booted out several times."

"I saw many IDs with high Points, recognizable Master figures from the Mystical Sect, why are they here?"

Understand that the academy competition at best is an internal affair of the academy, though publicly broadcast on Spiritual Affairs in previous years, viewers were mostly academy students, with few others from the Mystical Sect watching, generally only up to a thousand.

But now this online viewership rivals the triennial grand Mystical Sect competition.

As some people murmured, an older brother beside them explained,

"Probably coming to watch because of what happened in the first match. The broadcast Spiritual Affairs used for the academy competition is the most junior server; now seeing the online situation, they should upgrade the server soon."

As if to validate the older brother’s words, the broadcast channel soon became smooth after initial lag.

At the same time, the second match officially commenced.

With teams of four groups of academy participants coming on stage, everyone’s gaze turned to the platform.

Due to Elysia Xander’s disqualification, per competition rules, unless unforeseen uncontrollable circumstances, substitutions are not allowed midway in the academy teams.

Thus, with the other three groups consisting of a proper arrangement of six people, the five from the Capital Group appeared inexplicably pitiful.

Despite the leading older brother striving to hold a spirited stance among others, missing a member in addition to not securing the Ghost Bottle from the previous round, it altogether seemed somewhat ostentatious superficially.

Even the Capital Group students watching below noticed.

Their academy was likely already destined to be out of contention for victory in this competition.

As they lamented in silence, suddenly someone softly exclaimed,

"Isn’t that her? Why did she show up?!"

A lot of gazes followed the direction, only to see at this moment someone entering from outside.

With short hair touching her ears, a hat on her head, though the image differed greatly, she was instantly recognizable.

That was Elysia Xander!

The singed marks from the Fire Thunder Talisman two days earlier, somehow removed, her face now restored as usual, even carrying her customary arrogance.

She walked step by step toward the front of the stage, only to veer midway and sit amongst audiences below.

She sat there composed, with poise as always, unaffected by the disqualification and the mocked animation graphic.
