A week later, when the ship slowly landed at Azure Wood Star's First Space Port, the entire port was already in a frenzy.

The moment the cabin door opened, a tsunami of sound came rushing in, the crowd surging in the port square, various support banners rising and falling like waves, glow signs reflecting blinding light in the sunshine.

The mechanical guards forming a human wall to maintain order were still being hit by the fervent fans shaking them unsteady.

"Fu Ning! Fu Ning!!"

The piercing shouts of young girls almost shattered the sky, while a phalanx of fans dressed in silver support attire waved large flags in unison, emblazoned with the words "Unmatched Attack".

On the other side, Yue Shenghe's supporters banged on specially made golden shields, producing deafening roars: "Yue Shenghe! Unbeatable Bastion!"

The heavy sound waves made the ground tremble slightly.

But most eye-catching were Zhuge Yu's fan group.

Hundreds of followers in azure robes simultaneously unfolded jade fans, forming a massive Eight Trigrams Array. Their chanting sounded like ancient spells: "Divine calculations, flawless tactics — Zhuge Yu!"

These three geniuses from the same team had evidently become the benchmark for the younger generation of the Whole Star Realm:

Fu Ning, dressed in snow-white clothes, with an ancient longsword hanging at his waist, stood there quietly, exuding a sharp Sword Intent as if ready to cut through the sky — truly the best interpretation of "Unmatched Attack".

Yue Shenghe donned heavy brown armor, his burly figure like a moving fortress, and his Panlong Battle Body was deservedly "Unbeatable Defense".

While Zhuge Yu, shaking his jade fan, always carried a mysterious smile, as if those half-open eyes contained the wisdom to calculate all under heaven.

As the three stood side by side, the sound waves in the entire port reached their peak. Flashbulbs illuminated like a storm, eternally capturing this legendary trio.

Of course, there were many other fan groups of the contestants present, although their numbers were as large, their presence clearly paled in comparison to these three popular stars.

At the back of the genius team, Qin Tian mingled among the ship's logistics personnel, quietly observing everything, marveling inwardly at the high-level tactics of the Dongfang Family.

In the days leading up to their arrival at Azure Wood Star, about ten geniuses launched individual or group livestreams as requested by the Dongfang Family, announcing to the world that they were safe while rejuvenating the dropping interest in the talent competition.

Now, the public focus shifted from the Dongfang Family's negligence, concentrating more on the contestants themselves.

Predicting the champion of the arena battle became the most discussed topic in the Whole Star Realm.

Numerous betting organizations opened their books, once again elevating the buzz around the arena battle.

Under the spotlight, sixteen geniuses boarded flying devices, heading for the most luxurious hotel on Azure Wood Star. Tomorrow at 9 am, the draw ceremony for the 16-person arena battle will take place, and the first elimination round will officially commence.

Qin Tian, blending in with the geniuses, entered the hotel and immediately saw a familiar face as he stepped through the door.

"Mingyu!"

"Qin Tian!"

Dongfang Mingyu approached, stood in front of Qin Tian, looked him up and down, and then said with admiration:

"Honestly, recommending you to join the examiner team is the most correct decision I've made in years."

The second day after the geniuses returned, a detailed report was handed to the Dongfang Family.

The elders read through the entire report meticulously and immediately understood that there were two major contributors to this incident.

Zhuge Yu, Qin Tian

Without Zhuge Yu's Wuhou Eight Trigrams Array, the sixteen geniuses would have been picked off one by one by the "Ghost". He was both the commander and the backbone of the geniuses.

However, in terms of contribution, Qin Tian was far ahead of Zhuge Yu.

Qin Tian's Life Domain helped the geniuses quickly recover from their injuries.

Qin Tian's Gate of Space assisted everyone in escaping the Purple Crystal Prison.

Qin Tian's Symbiotic Spirit Plant both resisted the "Ghost's" onslaught and joined forces with others to kill it, while also providing a protective shield and sufficient oxygen in space for the geniuses until rescue forces arrived.

After seeing the report, the elders immediately contacted Qin Tian's recommender, Eastern Cloud Sea.

Through Eastern Cloud Sea, they learned more about Qin Tian's accomplishments:

Colonel Officer of the Seventh Bureau

Close friend of the Elf King

Known as the King of Assassination on Elf Star

Eastern Cloud Sea explained his intention to recommend Qin Tian as an examiner, hoping the elders would recognize Qin Tian's importance and strive to recruit him into the Dongfang Family.

But this idea didn't gain the elders' approval.

Eastern Cloud Sea wasn't standing at a high position; he didn't understand the Seventh Bureau's significance and the significance of Marshal Lin, who leads the Seventh Bureau. Talents like Qin Tian must have been on Marshal Lin's priority list, who would one day work in the Imperial Capital for Marshal Lin.

Even if Qin Tian wished to join the Dongfang Family, Marshal Lin surely wouldn't release him.

However, although recruitment wasn't an option, making a focused investment still seemed feasible.

Investing in Qin Tian was not only to thank him for his outstanding contributions in this event but also to form a deeper connection with Marshal Lin through Qin Tian in the future.

Only those truly in high positions understand the weight of the name Lin Xuanqing.

Considering these aspects, the Elder Council sent Dongfang Mingyu, who had the closest relationship with Qin Tian, to welcome him and handle subsequent affairs.

Qin Tian chuckled and said:

"Mingyu, serving as an examiner for the talent competition, I've gained quite a lot. I must say, the Dongfang Family truly is generous."
