Chapter 278: Confident Jin Da! Will Mo Da

"Mo Da vs. Jin Da! Finally, it's here!"

"Yes, and right in the first match—can't wait!"

On March 16th, there were five team matches in the morning.

The match between Mo Da and Jin Da was the first one.

This was also the first clash between top-tier universities on the national university league stage.

Even before nine o'clock, the entire stadium's spectator seats were already full.

Moreover, on the league livestream room of Douyu, the nation's largest livestream company with official broadcasting rights.

The concurrent viewership had reached several million!

"Here they come!"

"Mo Da will win! Lei Di will win!"

"Haha, Mo Da is nothing! Jin Da is the strongest!"

"......"

Not everyone has the funds or energy to attend the league matches in person.

Most people choose to watch on livestream platforms.

Today is Saturday, and most high school and college students are on break.

As a result, the entire livestream room was unusually lively, with comments flowing like a waterfall.

There were many supporters for both Mo Da and Jin Da, and the livestream room erupted in heated arguments.

By the 16th, the league had already been running for seven days.

Online, there were numerous edited video clips of star players like Xu Jingming, Wang Qi, and Kong Shi.

If asked who had the greatest fame and the most supporters, there was no doubt: Xu Jingming of Mo Da!

His rare SS-rank ability in Daxia made him inherently a hot topic.

More importantly, Xu Jingming possessed an SS-rank lightning-based ability!

The brilliant golden lightning he unleashed in every battle offered a stunning audiovisual experience.

If one word had to describe it, it would surely be "cool."

Most viewers of the national university league were young people—who wouldn't love such a powerful and handsome player?

I originally planned to surprise Jing Da, but I didn't expect to encounter Jin Da first.

"But it's fine too—we've only got two matches left. Let's use Formation No. 1 against them."

"Let them see our strongest form!"

On the Mo Da spectator bench, Yang Zhentian was finalizing his tactics.

Today was the third-to-last day of the team matches; besides Mo Da's seven consecutive wins,

Jin Da and Jing Da had also each secured seven consecutive wins.

The final two matches would be against Jin Da and Jing Da respectively.

"Jingming, it's all up to you now."

Yang Zhentian's gaze settled on Xu Jingming, tall and slender, in the team.

For several days, they had used Formation No. 2.

He knew his student was bursting to break free.

"Got it." Xu Jingming smiled and nodded.

Indeed, the past few matches had been too boring.

Only battles against top-tier universities could truly excite him.

"Welcome everyone to the Day 7 matches of the National University League!"

Today features not only the single-player quarterfinals advancing to the semifinals,

But also the long-awaited clash between top-tier universities in the team event!"

"Enough talk—let's welcome Mo Du Institute of Esoteric Abilities and Jincheng Institute of Esoteric Abilities!"

At precisely nine o'clock, host Feng Le appeared on the stage.

Just those few simple words instantly ignited the entire stadium.

"Mo Da!"

"Mo Da!"

"Jin Da!"

"Jin Da!"

"......"

Cheers surged like tidal waves, and livestream rooms were flooded with comments from supporters of both teams.

"Let's go."

Xu Jingming led Kong Shi and the others toward the arena.

On the Jincheng spectator bench, a group of five in gray battle suits walked toward them.

"We've finally waited for this battle against you Mo Da—it's been a long time."

"I can't wait to end your winning streak."

Before even stepping onto the arena,

The leader of the Jin Da team, a young man in a gray battle suit,

Smiled with unrestrained arrogance as he spoke to Xu Jingming and the others.

This man was Han Shan, captain of the Jin Da team, a fourth-rank mid-level support-type ability user.

"Han Shan, didn't you get beaten enough during that study trip? Are you itching for another thrashing?"

Among Jin University's group, Kong Shi and the others had already encountered them during their freshman study trip.

During the study trip, Jin University was almost always crushed by Mo University.

Seeing Han Shan dare to step forward and provoke them, Kong Shi didn't hold back—he sneered directly.

"The study trip was decided by the number of ferocious beasts slain; our Jin University truly couldn't match your bunch of brutes."

"But this team competition is different—you Mo University have no chance."

Han Shan, having his old wounds exposed, didn't get angry; he openly admitted it.

"Whether we have a chance isn't up to you to decide—it'll be clear on the arena."

Xu Jingming lifted his eyelids; his low voice carried weight and authority.

"Xu Jingming of Mo University, SS-rank psychic awakened—I admit you're powerful."

Han Shan turned his gaze toward him, then shook his head:

"But that's only true in solo matches—in team competition, you have less than a ten percent chance…"

With that, he turned and led his team away on his own.

"What's wrong with them? Where do they get their confidence?"

Watching the figures of Jin University's group walk away, Yao Fang couldn't help but mutter.

"Ignore them. Get on the arena."

Xu Jingming, for his part, didn't care at all.

Using trash talk before the match to disrupt emotions and cause poor performance on the arena—

It was a common thing.

But Jin University's trash talk had absolutely zero intimidation factor…

"No wonder they're top-tier universities—even before the match begins, the dialogue is already charged with tension."

Jin University's voices weren't loud, but the announcer on stage still noticed.

He couldn't help but tease, then continued:

"Both teams have now taken the arena. They have one minute left to confirm final details with the referee."

New viewers might not know what needs to be confirmed in this one minute."

Let me briefly explain—it's mainly to confirm the team roster, whether to swap members, and so on."

Mo University used substitutes in their last match against Xining Psychic University; this time, they should be bringing in their main roster."

Indeed, Mo University's captain Xu Jingming has already submitted an application to the referee…"

With Xu Jingming as the anchor, Mo University didn't need to field Kong Shi and others as main fighters in every match.

Substitutes like Su Ruoyun and Tao Guan had already appeared multiple times in prior matches.

Now, facing Jin University, they naturally needed to apply to the referee to swap in Kong Shi and the main roster.

As the announcer, Feng Le's right earpiece was connected to the internal voice channels of all arena personnel.

Among them was the referee.

At this moment, the referee's report came through the earpiece.

Instantly, the announcer froze—his shocked voice echoed across the entire arena:

"Huh? What's going on? Jin University has pulled three main fighters—and replaced them with three substitutes?"

"Huh? What's going on? Jin Da has pulled off three main players and brought on three substitutes?"
