Soon, Fly put away his Beast Totem and, following the staff's instructions, walked to the sidelines to acknowledge the audience.

  It was only then that Gideon King was pulled out of the grass by the medical staff, looking disheveled and covered in dirt. The bone plate on his back that stored electrical energy was connected to his spine, and the violent explosion had long since snapped his spine.

  Lying on the stretcher, he clenched his fists tight. Watching everyone in the audience stand up to applaud and cheer for the newly crowned champion and MVP, Fly, he felt his blood boil with rage.

  "Gideon!" Ms. Liana, the team-leading teacher of Ironpeak Academy, trotted to Gideon's side, gently held his hand, and whispered, "It's all over... it was just like a dream..."

  "It is not over!" Gideon sucked in a deep breath, his face flushing crimson.

  "That Fly is just from an ordinary family; on what basis does he have such strong power!"

  "He must have cheated! Yes, he definitely cheated!"

  "That wasn't Fly's own strength at all; he won against me by cheating!"

  Gideon roared hysterically, his expression bordering on madness.

  Or perhaps, unable to accept this defeat, he had already entered a state of delirium.

  "I am the undisputed number one of Ironpeak Academy, and I have top-tier Warrior Gear custom-made by Hyson Industries."

  "On what grounds does this Fly guy beat me!"

  "How could he possibly defeat me?"

  "He definitely cheated!"

  "I want to protest!"

  "I want to file an appeal!"

  "Even if I have to take it to the Federal Supreme Court, I will file an appeal!"

  Gideon screamed and shouted recklessly, declaring he would spare no cost to investigate Fly's cheating to the very end.

  "Security, security!" Seeing this, Referee Carlos quickly signaled the arena's security staff to carry Gideon out.

  "Phew..."

  Only after Gideon's voice gradually faded away did Carlos let out a long sigh of relief.

  Subsequently, a woman with refined makeup, wearing a white suit, walked quickly onto the arena. Behind her followed a cameraman carrying a video camera.

  "Hello, Contestant Fly! I'm Celine, a special correspondent for Star City TV. I'd like to do an exclusive interview with you now, is that okay?"

  Seeing this, 'Emperor' Valerius and Dean Sterling tactfully took a few steps back.

  Conducting an exclusive interview with the MVP of the Freshman Invitational had been a tradition for many years.

  Dean Sterling even specially patted Fly on the shoulder while stepping back, signaling him to perform well.

  'Emperor' Valerius didn't mind Fly stealing the spotlight this time. After all, this competition was won almost entirely by Fly alone.

  "Of course," Fly nodded with a smile.

  Although this was his first time accepting an interview, Fly was, after all, a transmigrator who had lived two lives. Compared to average high school students, he didn't have that much stage fright.

  "First of all, congratulations to Contestant Fly for winning the championship of this Freshman Invitational for Star City High and winning the MVP award yourself. You must be very excited right now, aren't you?"

  Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.

  "I wouldn't say I'm particularly excited. Let's just say I'm somewhat happy." Fly smiled gently.

  "Not particularly excited even after winning the championship? It seems Contestant Fly was determined to win from the very beginning."

  "Then, may I ask if Contestant Fly has any insights regarding Martial Studies cultivation that you can share with the audience in front of the TV?"

  "Cultivation insights?" Fly revealed a playful smile.

  If this were a novel protagonist, this would be the time to say something pretentious to flex in front of everyone, right?

  For example: Just like the "Trash-Talk Master" Larry "Legend" Bird from the NBA in his previous life.

  But...

  A thought suddenly popped into Fly's mind.

  "Well, regarding Martial Studies cultivation, I have a lot of insights. This isn't something that can be explained in just a few words."

  "Audience members who are interested can follow my TT account. I will frequently update videos or host livestreams to talk about my cultivation experiences and popularize some Martial Studies knowledge for everyone."

  "For example, how to better absorb a Mythical Species Beast Totem, how to choose Skills that suit you, how to conduct routine cultivation, and so on."

  "Of course, if you send large gifts, you can also get my private contact information and consult me individually about the details of Martial Studies cultivation."

  Fly said with a smile on his face.

  Good lord, because of Gideon King, the competition prize money had been halved.

  That measly amount of prize money was simply too shabby compared to his hard work on the arena.

  Since he had a rare opportunity to be interviewed by a major TV station, when would be a better time to promote his social media account if not now?

  In this day and age, cultivation couldn't do without money, and money had to be earned by oneself.

  Fly admired his own business acumen.

  As the saying goes: Prize money falling short? Sell courses to fill the gap!

  With the two titles of "Star City High's Number One Freshman" and "Freshman Invitational MVP" as endorsements, was he afraid no one would spend money to buy his cultivation tutoring courses?

  Fly could already faintly see the scene of money pouring in in the future.

  Unlike Fly's look of excitement, Reporter Celine stood frozen on the spot with a face full of question marks.

  As a veteran reporter for Star City TV, it wasn't her first time interviewing the champion of the Freshman Invitational.

  Even in previous years, the most outrageous MVP contestants were merely blowing their own trumpets, saying things like: Phrases similar to a straight-A student claiming "I didn't study at all before the exam."

  But this guy Fly... those who didn't know better would think he was here to sell courses!

  No.

  This guy was selling courses!

  And he was even using the TV station to advertise for himself...

  "Contestant Fly, are you..."

  However, before Celine could start to retort, Fly took out his phone on his own accord and logged into his TT account.

  His fingers tapped and swiped on the screen, and soon he pulled up a "Follow" QR code.

  He even smoothly changed his ID to "Professional Martial Studies Consultant Fly

  "Please look for my TT account."

  "This is the only official account of the Freshman Invitational MVP, Fly, on the entire internet. Please move your fingers and hit follow."

  Celine: "???"

  Dean Sterling: "???"

  'Emperor' Valerius: "???"

  Referee Carlos: "???"

  Commentator Jude: "???"

  Commentator Leah: "Wow!!!"

  One had to know that Celine's interview was being conducted via live broadcast.

  There were even four large screens hanging around the Star City Stadium broadcasting this interview live.

  Fly took two steps forward and placed his phone screen directly in front of the camera lens. Instantly, the massive QR code occupied almost the entire broadcast frame.

  The audience on the scene was stunned at first, but then they quickly took out their phones, scrambling to scan the QR code.

  Commentator Leah was even worried that the scene would switch before she could scan it, so she directly took several photos in a row.

  Neither she nor Jude was commentating on the Freshman Invitational for the first time.

  But it was the first time they had seen an MVP market himself like Fly.

  "What are you doing?" Jude stared at Leah, who was taking photos of the screen with her phone, his eyes widening in surprise.

  "Following our newly crowned MVP. Heh heh, heh heh," Leah replied without thinking. "From now on, I'm an 'OG fan'."

  Then, she quickly opened the recharge page, sent a "Universe

  This seamless set of operations left Jude dumbfounded.

  "Ah, hey! Have some dignity!"

  Jude couldn't help but complain.

  If they weren't still in the studio, he would have definitely roasted her hard:

  "What are you thinking?"

  "With Fly's talent, he will become a legend sooner or later."

  "For such a 'blue-chip stock,' naturally, I have to hurry up and build a connection while our paths still cross."

  "When Fly achieves fame and success in the future, I can also ride his coattails and get some benefits, right?"

  Leah said solemnly.

  "It seems... that actually makes some sense." Jude thought about it and felt that was indeed the case. So he also hurriedly took out his phone to scan the code and quickly sent a "Universe

  Then, holding his phone, he waited carefully for Fly's reply to his friend request.
