On the other hand, Lillian snorted coldly as jealousy was written all over her face, "What a joke. He doesn't even have the capability, yet he still dares to accept students. I'd like to see what she learned from a teacher like him."

Fade disregarded their remarks. Instead, he turned to Tom and said, "Time's almost up, and we'll need to go in soon. Our seats are right there. Do you want to join us, Tom?"

He shook his head. "My seat is right here, Brother Fade."

"Alright then. I'll see you after the competition." Fade waved goodbye to Tom and led Jasmine towards their seats.

He turned around and walked towards his seat too.

Lillian stood next to him, still jealous and displeased. She stared at Fade and Jasmine as they left and spat, "That's the VIP area for the participants from the Martial Arts League. Look at him deliberately walking over there. Tell him to stop pretending. What a joke!" "It'll be interesting if they get thrown out later," Halge stared at them enthusiastically as if he was waiting to watch something good.

Tom furrowed his brows, attempting to defend Fade.

However, at this moment, they spotted a man and a woman waving at Fade as they walked quickly towards him and greeted him warmly.

"You're finally here, Mr. Chen. This way, please."

"Hello, Mr. Chen. This must be Miss Zhuo. Please have a seat!"

Such greetings were normal under normal circumstances. However, everyone was confused as the two people were greeting Fade warmly.

Both of them were Galeno's disciples, Hollace and Lucille. Both of them possessed remarkable strength and were ranked 12th and 18th respectively on the Dragon List. They were also two of the more popular candidates betted on as the Martial Arts Convention's winner.

To receive such warm treatment from two popular star contestants was a great honor. Inevitably, Fade attracted everyone's attention, and of course, their doubtful glances.

Something clicked in Tom's mind as he watched them from afar. He glanced towards him and exclaimed, "Could Brother Fade be the Fade who ranked first on the Dragon List?"

Halge and the others snickered at his claim.

"Tom, are you out of your mind? That guy could never come first on the Dragon List. You're kidding, right?"

"Lucille and Hollace greeting him doesn't mean anything. Perhaps he used some alternative measures. I've seen too many people like him pretending to be someone they are not, just to impress others. Haha!' "But..." Tom felt that his hunch was right.

As he watched Fade exchanging pleasantries with Hollace and Lucille, a group of men in uniforms walked past him.

Halge and his group stared at the group of men in uniforms. Their eyes filled with reverence and admiration, "It's the Stealth Team's Five Elements Squad!"

Noticing the group, the passersby pointed towards them and started talking about them.

"The Five Element Squad is here. They're incredible. No wonder they're the elites of the Stealth Team!"

"Of course. The five captains of the Five Elements Squad are all in the top twenty on the Dragon List. They're also among the more popular candidates for this competition."

"But the Fire Squad captain, Lester, has been replaced. I heard it has something to do with their new instructor."

"Yes, I heard about it too. Their instructor was supposed to be the Gold Squad's captain, Romeo, but they replaced him with another person in the end. No one knows who the new guy is." "An instructor to the Five Elements Squad must be someone powerful."

Amidst the crowd's discussion, the Five Elements Squad marched towards the VIP area and walked towards Fade. They stood at attention and saluted in unison, "Good morning, Instructor!" they shouted. Fade nodded and muttered, "Okay. We're in public, relax. Don't be so serious."

"Yes, Instructor Chen!" The Five Elements Squad replied.

Then, they began to chat and laugh.

When the others saw their exchange, they immediately fell into a heated discussion.

"Did you hear that? The Five Elements Squad just called the young man their instructor. Is he the new instructor for the Five Elements Squad?" "He looks so ordinary. Does he have what it takes to betheir instructor?"

"Don't judge a book by its cover. Those who can be instructors are definitely something."

"Yeah. Besides, Lucille and Hollace were very friendly towards him. He must be somebody powerful."

As the crowd was buzzing in excitement about Fade, Tom was overwhelmed with disbelief. "This, I..." His eyes widened as he yelled in excitement, "Brother Fade is really Fade Chen, first on the Dragon List!" Halge and the others frowned as they heard Tom yell. Instinctively, they wanted to refute Tom. Based on their impression of Fade, he was too ordinary, and he would never be number one on the Dragon List. However, they couldn't explain why Hollace and Lucille were so respectful towards him and why the Five Elements Squad called him their instructor.

There could only be one reason. Fade was really first on the Dragon List. There was no other explanation.

"Could it be that the kid really is..." Hertzel's face was filled with incredulity as he asked weakly.

"No, it can't be..."

"That's impossible. How..."

Halge and Lillian were still unconvinced.

Just then, a staff member approached Fade, "Are you Fade Chen, first on the Dragon List? Please sign here to register."

Fade nodded, picked up the pen, and swiftly signed on the paper.

This confirmed Fade's identity. Those who were doubtful towards him stared at him with astonishment as they tried to digest the news.

"H-How is this possible? He... He is really first on the Dragon List." Halge and Lillian's jaws dropped as they cried out in disbelief. Shortly after, their faces darkened in fear. "W-We have offended him. If..." Even Hertzel, who was always calm, couldn't hide the anxiety on his face.

Just when everyone was surprised and worried, Fade chatted for a while.

Suddenly, someone let out a hearty laugh, "You must be Fade!"

Fade turned his head towards the voice and saw a burly man in his sixties. The man had a huge grin on his face as he walked towards him. He patted Fade's shoulder. "Fade, I've been looking forward to meeting you."

Hollace and Lucille hurriedly explained, "Mr. Chen, this is our master."

Fade's heart skipped. He knew Galeno was their master. He was one of the leaders of the Martial Arts League, a Heaven Level Late Stage expert, and the sixteenth on the Divine Dragon List. "Nice to meet you, Master Zhu!" Fade bowed and greeted him respectfully.

Galeno patted him on the back and laughed, "Don't be so formal, boy. You can call me Old Zhu."
