Chapter 45: The Semifinals
Everything is back on track, and Hakutsuru has started his daily training again.
The team competition is in full swing, and each squad is busy in its own way. At present, special training is still carried out in groups, even if the eliminated team still has the opportunity to participate in the second round of competition, there will still be honor points rewarded, but they have lost the qualification to advance to the intermediate level this year. Of course, the teams and individuals who have performed particularly well in the previous team competition will have the opportunity to participate in the upcoming intermediate promotion tournament.
So far, the East 18 team only has the team of Joy and Ichiro Yamai, Ichiro Yamai defeated his opponent in the quarterfinals, and he entered the peak state for a while, and the momentum was unstoppable.
In the subsequent draw, the East 18 team occupied two places, and the rest were the East 16 team and the 19th team. Both teams have very good players, but this is nothing for the Joy team at its peak, but now everything is unknown.
West Africa broke away from Tiger White Crane and worked hard to study the power of rage, and when he knew that Johansen, who had cultivated a long time later than him, had already started his berserk state and reached the standard intermediate zone level, West Africa was even more unwilling, and trapped himself in the training room every day and night.
Tiger and Hakutsuru spend the whole day together, training their physical fitness and strength. Since Idrew said that his body is not perfect, then build up his strength and physical strength to make himself perfect.
Tiger accompanies the White Crane to run laps in three to five times the gravity, and occasionally the two practice fighting. In terms of combat, the strength of the white crane is obviously very flawed, although the speed is fast, the strength is far from the same, hitting the tiger, it is like tickling, after using the skill of the power of rage, the attack power of the white crane seems to be a little powerful, but when it is officially against the enemy, it is far from enough.
The white crane is flexible and agile, Tiger can't control the white crane's movements at all, and now the white crane has mastered the internal force, and the physical condition is better than back then, melee combat, Tiger is no longer the opponent of the white crane.
Watching the white crane's progress day by day, Tiger was also very pleased, even Jason, who accepted the results every time, was quite satisfied, and also took two days to teach the white crane martial arts, and arranged a lot of special training for the white crane.
Seeing that time is passing day by day, and the day of the game is approaching, but Joey and Johansen's communicator is still not turned on, and West Africa insists on retreat training, and he doesn't even say a word.
The official also released the latest developments of this incident are all in favor of Joey and Johansen, a footage shows that Zorro fled the scene at that time and went in the opposite direction, according to some reason, it is very likely that the murderer of Zorro is someone else, but now the evidence is insufficient, and it will take time.
Hakutsuru knew that they were all safe and tried to contact Slim. Slim only reassured him that the case was not over and that it would take some time. Joey and Johansen are already reserves for the Blacks, and the team match is likely to be abandoned, just to prepare the White Crane mentally.
After hearing the news, Hakutsuru and Tiger were both happy and disappointed, and after signing up for the competition, they couldn't change it, even if they continued to compete, they could only participate in the three of them, maybe just two of them. Happily, his friend has a bright future.
On this day, Bai He, who had just woken up, was washing up, and the communicator on his wrist rang, which was a reminder of his participation in the lottery. In Joey Johansen's absence, Hakutsuru became the captain.
"Baijun, hello." Ichiro Yamai appeared at the same time in the venue of the draw.
Hakutsuru nodded slightly, the two of them had a holiday, but that was a thing of the past, and during the training process, Yamai no longer dared to do anything to Hakutsuru, especially after Johansen officially announced that he would join Joey's team.
Smart as he knows, the opponent of Bai He, although he is young, his strength is definitely not ordinary.
"Hopefully we can avoid each other and meet together in the final." Ichiro Yamai's politeness was absolutely unspoken, and he spoke very slowly, looking very polite.
"Of course." Hakutsuru replied with a smile, not wanting to say anything, Ichiro Yamai has a high IQ, this is what Joey said.
"Don't try to get close to Ichiro Yamai at any time." Joey warns Hakutsuru that he knows that Hakutsuru is young and can't really understand Ichiro Yamai's purpose, and that it is better to say nothing than to say anything.
Yamai Ichiro was also slightly stunned, and he could see that the white crane's sense of rejection of him was still very strong, and then he smiled slightly to express his understanding.
The people who came with him were the captains of the remaining two teams.
Four people put their hands into the lottery scanner at the same time, and the red laser rotated, and the results came out almost instantaneously.
"Eighteen teams and five teams, against sixteen teams and one team. Battles, encounters. Hakutsuru silently looked at Ichiro Yamai's side, the battle project, and the base occupation. Suddenly, I felt that my good luck had not run after all, and this was a project that could only be won by relying on the advantage of numbers, so there was no need to compare.
"Two captains, can you appreciate your face, our eighteenth team is the east, invite the two and the two team members to have a light meal?" Ichiro Yamai bowed slightly.
"Let's keep our stomach and come to the Nineteenth Team to eat our celebration banquet." The captain of the nineteenth team turned his head and left in disdain.
Ichiro Yamai was not annoyed, but smiled slightly. Hakutsuru is nothing, he is also used to it, this Yamai Ichiro will always say a lot of things inexplicably, do a lot of things, at least for now it is still difficult for him to understand.
The captain of the sixteenth team was shocked in his heart, he felt that this Ichiro Yamai had seen through the mind and character of the captain of the nineteenth team in an instant. From Ichiro Yamai's eyes, it is not difficult to see that kind of self-confidence that is already a sure victory.
"What about you?" Ichiro Yamai asked the captain of the sixteenth team with a smile.
A hint of panic flashed in the eyes of the captain of the sixteenth team, but then he remained calm, smiled and shook his head and left.
"Bai Jun." Ichiro Yamai looked at Hakutsuru.
Bai He replied and said, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"I've broken the confidence of the captain of the sixteenth team, and then, you only need to take out the opponent's main force first, and they will be crushed in one blow." Ichiro Yamai made a gesture of decapitation.
"Here is their simple information, pay attention to their core character, Du Cheng. Although this person is a subspecies, he is born with divine power, and his strength is definitely above any of us. Ichiro Yamai stretched out his hand to the white crane, and with a slight stroke, the information in the communicator was transmitted instantly.
"Why are you helping me?" Bai He was a little incredible, he had an extremely bad impression of this guy before, it could be said that he was insidious and cunning, even the entire eighteenth squad no one dared to provoke him easily.
"What a shame it would be if I couldn't play against your team in the final, haha." That kind of look that didn't know whether it was good or evil made Bai He a little panicked. Jason deliberately blocked the news, and only said that Joyo and the others participated in some kind of special training, which was nothing special for the two people who couldn't see anyone all day.
Yamai Ichiro turned around and left, and secretly said to himself: "Joey, I have repaid you for favors, whether you can pass this level or not depends on your creation." ”
With apprehension and uneasiness, Hakutsuru began to prepare. I looked through all the information, and the details of the other party were almost unobstructed, and the name, appearance, characteristics that he was good at, and his advantages and disadvantages were all written on it.
Originally, Hakutsuru didn't care much about this information, but now it was different, and Hakutsuru didn't want the results of his five people's efforts so far to be destroyed in his own hands.
Encounters, which are divided into many kinds. Cold weapon combat, street fighting, mobile combat. In general, this type of battle is the most important item for the personal qualities of the soldiers.
Approaching the game, West Africa has been closed and there is no news, and Tiger is a little worried, unable to eat or sleep, and has no intention of training.
The pressure of the white crane is unprecedented, to train during the day, improve the strength of the body, the effect of the strengthened body training is better than before, I don't know how many times, the muscles of the body look slender, but it can contain seemingly unlimited power, as long as the white crane is willing to practice, it will not be constantly strengthened, at least so far, the white crane has not found its own bottleneck.
In the evening, you have to study tactics, learn about your opponents, and ask about Joey and Johansen. Hakutsuru wished that when he woke up, he would see Joey standing in front of him and say to him, "Don't worry, I'll leave everything to me." ”
But it was still just a dream, and until he woke up, Hakutsuru didn't expect a message from Joey.
It feels like he has taken on the burden of the honor of the whole team overnight, where has the young white crane endured all this, and the state of the whole person has become very bad for a while.
Tiger seemed to see that the white crane was preoccupied, and tried to encourage the white crane, but the words came to his mouth and he closed it, and Tiger, who was not good at words, gobbled it up hard, without food, there was no strength, and he couldn't fight, even if he was in a bad mood, Tiger would forcibly eat a lot of food.
"West Africa hasn't come out yet, let's go." Bai He smiled indifferently, and he accepted his fate.
"Okay, let's go and knock out those guys from Team Sixteen." Tiger, who had eaten a full meal, finally recovered his spirits, and his eyes shone brightly.
The white crane gradually grew taller, although it could not catch up with Tiger's nearly two-meter tiger's waist, but it was barely able to hook up with it. Only in this way can the white crane feel a little safe, and the two of them walked like this until they came to the preparation ground for the game.
The five members of the sixteenth team had already arrived, and Bai He glanced over and deliberately glanced at the subspecies who was in second place.
Du Cheng, his height and body shape are not outstanding, but at this glance, the white crane can feel a strong aura emanating from the dantian inside.
He is not born with divine power, but an internal power cultivator!
And the strength of this internal force instantly collapsed the confidence of the white crane to win. Others don't know Du Cheng's strength, but Bai He knows best, although he doesn't know why he can see through Du Cheng's internal strength cultivation at a glance, but it is precisely because of this that Bai He lost his confidence in the battle.
The part of the internal force that the white crane can control, compared to Du Cheng, is like the stars competing with the bright moon.
Suddenly, the fiery internal force of the dantian felt the depression and frustration of the white crane, and became ready to move, and the voice seemed to be speaking.
"Give me your soul and I will help you defeat all your enemies!"
