This year's edition of the-blue was held on December 15th.

Huaxia's organizers learned from the experience and lessons of the previous competition, and the 20 players were divided into four groups, but only the top two in each group qualified. At the end of the group stage, it is the quarterfinals. The number of matches is one less than last year's The-Blue's knockout rounds, and the duration of the tournament has been extended to half a month.

In short, the likelihood of a chance at the-blue this time is greatly reduced, at least not because of a lack of physical strength.

Last time, the top four of the-blue were all invited, Zheng Ke and Catherine, who were the school voices of Lanji, Bayer had graduated but was also a member of Lanji, and Anielle fought out of the French division, plus a French chef qualified for the competition. This time, the number of contestants from the French competition reached a terrifying 5, four of whom studied or had studied at Lanji.

As the person in charge of the third grade of Lanji, Marcus felt full of pride, if he hadn't insisted on poaching Zheng Ke from Yuanyue, where would there be today's situation.

Although Zheng Ke has been dormant for a year, and the U18 ranking has fallen from fifth to the current eighth, as a third-grade teacher of Lanji, he is very clear about Zheng Ke's strength.

In the exam a month ago, Zheng Ke won the second place in the exam, and the gap with the third place was quite large.

As for Catherine, in her age group, she is still a king-level existence.

Throwing out personal feelings, between Zheng Ke and Catherine, Marcus believes that Catherine's probability of winning the championship is greater than that of Zheng Ke.

Of course, among all the contestants, the most difficult person is Fu Xiuyun - in recent years, the strongest person in the same age group is also a big mountain in front of Zheng Ke and Catherine.

As the race approached, Zheng Ke, Catherine, Aniel, Kohei and Erina were traveling, and although Bayer was on the same flight as them, the seats were not next to each other, but in the first rows.

Marcus squinted and sat by the window, his face much more relaxed.

Although he is not a player, as the person in charge of the third year, he has the obligation to cheer for the players in the blue world and contact the accommodation.

This is what Marcus said to Zheng Ke and others, and he did the same, and communicated with the organizers before getting on the plane.

Zheng Ke and the others were silent, they knew the purpose of Marcus's entourage. On the one hand, he can be the first to know the results of the players, but on the other hand, he also needs to relax - as the head of the third grade, Marcus also has a lot of pressure on his shoulders.

Seeing Marcus close his eyes and recuperate, Zheng Ke also picked up the magazine and casually flipped through two pages.

"Senior, what does Huaxia look like?" Xingping asked curiously, "Is there really a martial arts?"

"There are martial arts, and as for dressing, most people are no different from you. Zheng Ke said casually.

"That'...... Do you know the players from Huaxia this time?" Kohei then asked.

"Know three...... However, Senior Ye did not participate, so I don't know who the fourth player in Huaxia is. I guess it's not the students of the East. Zheng Ke speculated.

"Why?" Kohei looked puzzled.

"It's simple...... Counting Brother Fu, Brother Cheng and Cheng Huaizhi, there are too many elements related to the East, and the organizers must balance it. Moreover, there are many chefs in Huaxia immediately, and last time Senior Ye was from the Huaxia Division and fought his way out of the encirclement. In fact, the quota in France is the same, me, Catherine and Bayer seniors are all from Lanji, according to common sense, there should be no more Lanji students, who knows how Anielle sneaked in?"

Zheng Ke glanced at Aine, who was staring wide-eyed, and deliberately teased.

"You're the one who sneaked in!" Aniel was a little crazy, "Zheng Ke, I've long seen that you don't like it, not long ago, you grabbed the second place seat - that's my special seat, the seat closest to my sister, and now I'm talking about it again...... No, challenge! I'm going to win you!"

Xingping hurriedly turned his head, both of them were his seniors, and he couldn't help Zheng Ke refute.

"Ahem...... Okay, Mr. Marcus is resting, and if he doesn't finish speaking, go down and say, the plane hasn't taken off yet. Catherine looked at Anil dissatisfied.

Anil pouted and didn't speak, but she did feel aggrieved in her heart.

"You too, why are you saying these things if you have nothing to do?" Catherine glanced at Zheng Ke beside her dissatisfiedly, and her small hand touched Zheng Ke's waist, but she was reluctant to pinch it.

Zheng Ke touched his nose, "With so many people coming out, if you don't speak, won't it be too boring?" Who knew that the little girl was so sensitive." ”

"Don't call me 'little' girl. Anil protested.

"That's it, don't call her 'little girl!'" Catherine was not satisfied.

Really, the relationship between you and Aniel is not so close!

Zheng Ke rolled his eyes depressedly, but it was very unwise for a girl to debate, so he moved on to another topic.

"By the way, do you all know Huaxia?" Zheng Ke asked Xiang Xingping and Erina.

"No, it won't. Kohei scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

Huaxia is one of the most difficult languages in the world to learn, and it took him nearly a year to communicate with the French. If you want to learn Huaxia well, it will take two or three years to say it, right?

Erina also shook her head, "Neither will I." ”

"What about you?" Zheng Ke asked Aynelle.

"No...... Can't you?" asked Anelle quickly.

"Absolutely. However, when I went to Huaxia, I stayed in the hotel more if I had nothing to do. Huaxia is very large, and there are many people, so it is easy to get lost. Zheng Ke admonished.

He didn't want to publish a missing person notice in the newspaper.

"That's right, if you need anything, you can tell me and Zheng Ke, and we'll bring it back to you. Catherine narrowed her eyes and said in Zheng Ke's tone.

"Don't say 'we', you stay in the hotel too...... In case you get lost, it's useless to be able to speak Huaxia. "Zheng Ke is most worried about Catherine.

The people on the missing person notice all know Chinese, but what's the use of that, don't you get lost?

Catherine strained her face and looked at Zheng Ke very dissatisfied, "Are you going to find a friend after you arrive in Huaxia?"

"My family is not from Yangcheng, how do I know anyone? If it's okay, I might stay in the hotel, right? Well, maybe I'm looking for food. Zheng Ke rubbed his chin.

Yangcheng is Cantonese, and Zheng Ke is good at Cantonese cuisine, so he should go to Cantonese to taste the local food.

"Then I'll go too. Catherine raised her hand and said.

"I'm going to follow my sister. Anil raised her hand.

"If I could, I would like to try Chinese food. Kohei scratched his head and smiled lightly.

Erina just wanted to refute, but then she thought that she finally came to Huaxia and really wanted to taste Huaxia's specialties.

So, the group ignored Zheng Ke's advice and made arrangements for the itinerary after coming to Huaxia.
