Section 2: Drawing of lots

The day of the draw has finally arrived, and this time there are more than 400 magicians participating in the competition, and after a simple and straightforward two-on-one knockout match, the 24 semifinalists who will participate in the round-robin tournament will finally be determined. Therefore, the luck of the draw is also very important, if you are unlucky enough to meet the champion in the first round, even if you have the strength of the top 8, then you can only sigh to yourself that you are unlucky. Even if you're only at a mid-tier level, if you're playing against a very poor player all the way, you might make it to the top 24 and show your face. Of course, this is only an extreme situation, and those who can enter the top 24 can generally be regarded as very powerful magicians, but every magic competition also has a good magician who is eliminated halfway.

The draw is divided into 3 teams, whichever team you rank, you can draw a number in the box when it is your turn. Harry arrived a little late, choosing the middle line, at the back of the line. After the previous draw was made, they did not leave, waiting to see the numbers drawn by others, wondering who their opponent was.

At this time, a person came in at the door, but everyone in the room exclaimed softly. But I saw that the man was holding a folding fan, but this folding fan was not an ordinary folding fan, there was a good quality fire crystal on the handle of the fan, and it seemed that this fan was also his magic wand. Generally speaking, strong mages prefer to use short magic wands, as the distance they control their magic is no longer important to them, and they mainly rely on their wands to provide accelerated chanting spells and increased control. In this way, if this person is not showy, he must be a very powerful player, and judging from the attitude of everyone, eighty percent belongs to the latter.

That life is very white, and there is naturally such an elegant taste between the eyebrows, coupled with walking with a folding fan in hand, it really has the taste of literati in Chen Liyun's memory. He was not wearing a mage robe, but a loose white shirt and white pants, which made his temperament even more prominent.

Harry pulled the contestant next door and asked, "Who is this guy?

The man glared at Harry, "I don't even know the third senior of Dao Ji, you haven't been here for long, right?"

"Is he famous? Why should I know him?" Harry rolled his eyes, I've been here for almost two years.

"He was the chief student of the Magic Academy before Medivan, recognized as a genius magician, and the perfect lover in the minds of female students. When the man said this, he also had a look of envy on his face.

"Is he better than Medivan?" asked Harry curiously.

"That's not it, Medivan is a genius among geniuses, he broke through to a high-level magician before he was 30 years old, and Dao Ji San's senior only became a high-level magician at the age of 41 5 years after graduation. ”

"Then how do you hear that he is more famous than Medivan?"

It is said that he practiced martial arts from a young age, and only began to learn magic at the age of 10, but the progress was very amazing, and he soon reached the level of a 6-level magician at the age of 30. Most importantly, he was more popular among female cadets than Medivan. ”

"Why?" Harry was also interested in the gossip.

"Because he not only sings good poems with one hand, but also can dance with a good sword, and often performs among female students, compared to Medivan's coldness, he is naturally superior to the third senior of Dao Ji. ”

'So wet?' 'So cheap?', Harry snickered.

"Senior, his folding fan is very knowledgeable, and he can make a sword when he is holding it, and he is a magic wand when he takes it back. He is a level 7 magician at the same time, but also a level 4 warrior, which can be regarded as the most alternative demon and martial arts dual cultivation in the mainland. Whoever draws lots to play against him will be considered unlucky. ”

"Oh?" Harry thought to himself, Aren't I also a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts!Level 2 warrior + level 2 mage, much more balanced than him, can't he still fight this Dao Ji San? But of course, it's best not to run into it!

As the two were talking, it was finally Harry's turn to draw lots, and he touched the '214' number.

It's not '213', it's 213, 213, isn't it 2B!, wait, in this way, your opponent should be 213, the 2B number!

Hee-hee, the first opponent is 2B, and it seems that he is lucky. Harry looked up at the big blackboard, number 213 had not been drawn yet, and Harry was not in a hurry, waiting to see who the opponent was.

"213!" a voice rang out from a nearby team.

"Huh, who's 2B, who's 2B?" Harry asked aloud.

The guy who had just chatted with Harry was probably familiar with Harry, and pulled Harry's sleeve, "How can there be a 2B number here?"

"Look at the 1 and 3 are close together, isn't it just a 'B' word, so 2B is 213!" Harry said a little loudly.

"So what's the point of this 2B?"

"2B in us, that's what idiots mean stupid, haha!"

"Hmph!" I saw a cold snort from someone next to him, Harry turned his head to look, but it was not Dao Jisan, and the number he was holding in his hand was '213'.

"Huh, you've drawn 2B, then you're my first opponent!" Harry didn't show it on the surface, but he cursed in his heart, damn it, this is too unlucky!

Everyone next to them had heard Harry explain '213', and they were all snickering. That Ji San was also secretly annoyed in his heart, but it was not easy to have a seizure at this time, so he dropped a sentence and turned around and left the lottery room.

"Just wait to kneel in the ring and beg for mercy!"

"It's so arrogant to draw No. 2B, this world has really changed!" Harry was also relieved, anyway, hard stubble always has to be faced, he has to beat every master to finally win the championship, so it doesn't matter if he faces it first or later.

"Little brother, I advise you to abstain!" said one of the people next to him kindly to Harry.

"Yes, you offended Senior Dao Ji just now, but I'm afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat in the ring. If you are a woman, he may not care about you, but if you are a man, then he will generally repay you. The man who had been talking to Harry persuaded as well.

"Why should I abstain!" Harry said disapprovingly, "My goal is to eliminate 2B!"

After the draw was completed, Harry rushed back to report to Tang Ling, but he didn't want Medivan to be waiting for him in the library.

"How? How many numbers have been drawn, and who is the first opponent?" Medivan seemed to be more anxious than Harry.

"No. 214! No. 213 is the one called Dao Ji San. Harry replied.

"What!" Medivan exclaimed, "You're going to play against the third senior of the Dao Season in the first game?" frowned, "It's not going to be easy now!"

"I said what kind of excitement you are in, and it's not you who participates in the competition. Besides, that guy has some skills, but he's not as good as you after all, right? Harry said disapprovingly.

"You can't underestimate him, strictly speaking, he's not inferior to me!" said Medivan solemnly.

"Don't pretend to be modest, okay, you are a level 7 magician before you are 30 years old, but he didn't break through until he was 41 years old, and a discerning person can know the gap at a glance. ”

"It's wrong to think so, first of all, he only broke through at the age of 41 not because he was inferior to me, but because he had pursued the Demon Martial Twin Essence, and later found out that this idea was unrealistic. So when he was 25 years old, he gave up the practice of martial arts and concentrated on studying magic, but he had missed a lot of precious time, even so, at the age of 41, he still broke through to level 7 magician, and from this point of view, his magic talent should be a little stronger than mine. I've been practicing magic since I was 6 years old. There was a hint of admiration in Medivan's eyes.

"And there is another reason why I broke through so early, that is, I took the gentian grass given to me by Master Luo Ning, so that my spiritual power directly broke through the bottleneck, and the improvement of magic power was relatively easy, otherwise it would take me at least 5 years to break through. ”

Ronin?Harry finally remembered that the gentian grass at the Prontera auction house had been bought by a high-ranking magician named Ronin, and it had been given to Medivan.

"Do you know how many gold coins you eat?" Harry couldn't help but feel a little jealous, sitting at home and practicing magic all day long, someone gave him 38,000 gold coins of gentian grass to eat. Why do you have to work so hard to play more games to get a bottle of natural dew?

"I don't know!" Madison wondered why Harry had asked.

"That's 38,000 gold!" Harry exclaimed angrily, "Why did Ronin give you such a valuable gentian for no reason?"

"Master Luo Ning owes the teacher a favor, and this gentian grass is to repay this love. Originally, the teacher prepared a natural ...... for me," Medivan suddenly stopped, "The teacher prepared for me to make a natural breakthrough." ”

"It's nice to have a good teacher!"

"Don't talk about that yet, I'm afraid you'll be eliminated in the first game. When I was a level 6 magician, you were only tied with me, and if I broke through, you shouldn't be my opponent, not to mention that Dao Ji San's senior has broken through for more than 2 years. ”

"Don't put gold on your face! I don't believe that we will practice now to see if I will lose to you!"

"Forget it! If you can defeat the third senior of Dao Ji, it is estimated that you will become famous overnight! And in addition to being a level 7 magician, I am also a fire affinity, which has an advantage over the third senior of Dao Ji, so you can pass the test of the third senior of Dao Ji to be qualified to fight with me!"

"What a stinky fart!Is that Dao Jisan really powerful?Have you ever fought him?" Although Harry didn't admit defeat, he really didn't know the bottom in his heart, so it would be better to be prepared to find out more information.

"When the senior graduated, I was only a level 5 magician, and I wasn't qualified to compete with him. Medivan shook his head, and Harry sighed in disappointment.

"Still, I've seen him fight with other people. ”

"How?" said Harry.

"Because he has the strength of a level 4 warrior, he holds a wand in his left hand and a one-handed sword in his right. Not only is his magic skills superb and his strength outstanding, but his swordsmanship is also superb, and many people are defeated in his hand-to-hand grappling, often with magic and swordsmanship, which catches the opponent off guard. ”

Pouted, the magic skills are superb and said in the past, swordsmanship is superb? What can be powerful about the swordsmanship of a level 4 warrior, purely in terms of martial arts, Kiru estimates that one can beat him 10, these magicians have never seen powerful swordsmanship, and any set of swordsmanship can be regarded as supernatural in their opinion. And he should switch to that fan now.

"The seniors are very good at magic, so the tactics are also very diverse, and they are not confined to a few powerful magics, so the targeted layout tactics will not work in the third senior of Dao Ji. Suffice it to say, he is definitely an all-rounder. ”

After listening to Medivan's comment, Harry thought to himself. His own martial arts skills are also okay, with Ling Bo Weibu, at least there is no need to worry about his martial arts. As for magic, it may be a little lacking in power, but as long as it is used well, a small fireball can win. What I'm most worried about is the high-level magic mastered by Dao Ji San, and I'm afraid that kind of all-round blow will be difficult for me to crack.

Seeing Harry pondering alone, Medivan didn't bother, chatting softly with Tang Ling on the side. After half an hour, Harry suddenly jumped up and shouted: "I don't want to! The more I think about it, the more I lose and the more I lose confidence! Whoever loses and who wins, I don't know until I fight, what's the use of thinking about it! If I think about it any longer, I'm afraid I'll just admit defeat." ”

"Why? so soon to lose confidence?" Medivan seemed a little disappointed.

"Hmph, I'm not an ordinary magician in the first place, and as far as combat is concerned, it doesn't depend on analytical strength to decide victory or defeat. The most important thing is the impromptu adaptation, state play, psychological quality, etc., if you only show your strength, you will know the result, why fight, everyone put out the carriage and horses, and discuss it will not come out with the result. A person who is truly confident will not think that he is inferior because his theoretical strength is inferior to the other party. Harry's eyes were shining, but his expression was unusually determined.

"Oh! It seems that I was wrong, in that case, I will wait on the sidelines for the good news of your victory!" Madison couldn't help but relax when he saw that Harry seemed to have a comprehension, indeed, if he was intimidated by the opponent's strength before the game, how could he face the opponent on the field? If he faced a level 8 magician, could he have such confidence as Harry? It seems that I really underestimated this kid.
