The individual competition of Nanbu Academy has come to an end. After a night's rest, everyone greeted today's group stage with renewed enthusiasm.

In the early morning of August, the lush trees of Nanwu Academy brought a touch of coolness to everyone. The sun that has just risen is bright and clean and sprinkled on the earth, and it is a rare good weather.

Next to the college building, three people stood in unison towards the sun. In front of them, a stout man faced them. It was the three of Horu-sensei and Izawa.

"Today is the group stage. More than a dozen teams from across the island gathered here, including a team of top players. And you, on behalf of the Nanwu Academy, I hope that no matter what strong enemies you encounter, you can go all out and not fall into the name of Nanwu! ”

"Yes!" The three of them replied solemnly.

"Hahahaha, I just conveyed the dean's original words. Alright, alright. Don't take it too seriously. Teacher Huo Lu smiled heartily and looked at the three young people in front of him with satisfaction. Izawa was still dressed in the same broken but clean explorer's gear, with a bright smile on his lips. Yi Ze was wearing a pale white robe, and the long sword was slanted behind his back, with a calm expression. And Irelia was dressed in a sky-blue armor with a determined look in her eyes.

"Good." Teacher Huo Lu approved. "Let's go, then. For the glory of Nanbu. ”

"For the glory of Nanwu!"

At the same time, Maggie City was located in a house not far from the Nanwu Academy.

"It's finally started, and it's really faded out of the bird these days."

There were five people in the room, all wearing black cloaks to hide their figures and faces.

"The explorer, it's mine." Because I couldn't see clearly, I could only hear a slightly muffled voice.

"Hehe, second. After all, this is Ionian territory, so don't overdo it. ”

"Don't worry, you can't kill him. Also, stop calling me dick. ”

"Hahahaha."

School, group stage competition venue.

The same crowd of people. But because it was the group stage, the audience also clearly divided the lineup, and Nanwu had the most people and occupied a huge place. The rest have their own supporting teams.

The three Izawa stood in the stands at the very front of the Nambu area, facing away from the spectators as they waited for the game to begin.

"Master Yi is a well-known master of Ionia, and Irelia is also the strongest representative of Nanwu. But I haven't heard of that explorer, why would he participate on behalf of our Nanwu? ”

"yes, yes. Looking at that d-like, I'm better than him. ”

It may be that Ize's clothes are more shabby...

Ize heard the whispers behind him, and turned his head sharply to look at the men, his eyes spewing fire.

"Hey! Izawa, what are you going to do? Put down the watermelon knife in your hand! What are you doing with my sword! Yi hurriedly grabbed Ize, who had an angry face.

"It's scary!" Several people in the audience hurriedly fled.

Finally, Dean Diru and a few others were already seated on the high stone platform in the center. The narrator's voice also sounded: "All the students of Nanwu Academy, as well as friends who have come to Nanwu thousands of miles away. After a few days of intense individual competition, we finally have today's group stage! ”

"Roar~~" thunderous applause.

The commentator cleared his throat, "As we all know, this group stage is a ring match. And Nanwu Academy, as the defender of this year, how many team members do they have? We applauded and invited the players of Nanwu Academy to play. ”

"Bang bang bang."

The three of Izawa slowly walked onto the stage in the midst of all the attention. The three of them bowed a few times to the stone platform where Dean Dilu was and the auditorium and then stood still, their eyes not squinting, their eyes firm.

"Okay, the representatives from the Nanwu Academy are the long-standing inheritor of the Infinite Dao of Ionia, Master Yi!" The narrator's hard voice.

"Roar~~"

"And the strongest representative of the Nanwu Academy, Irelia. It's still a beauty. The narrator tried his best to stir up the audience's atmosphere.

"Irelia, Irelia~" shouted higher and higher.

"And the last explorer, Ezreal."

"Vomit~~~" There were only a few sporadic applause.

"This... The narrator's face was black, and he glanced at Izawa with a little resentment as he saw that the enthusiasm of the audience that had just been mobilized quickly cooled down.

"I'm Nima..."

"Calm down, calm down!" Yi hurriedly grabbed Ize, who was about to eat people.

"Well, anyway. I announce that the group stage of the Ionian Nanbu Academy starts now! "As the voice of the commentary slowly fell, the confrontation between Ionia vs Noxus and the strongest generation of the young and strongest generation kicked off." So, the first challenge team, the Minotaurs from the Far East, is invited to play. Everyone is welcome. ”

"Minotaur. It is also a race handed down from ancient times on the mainland, and it is distributed all over the continent. The race is peace-loving and inherently powerful. But because of these, it has become a favorite entertainment object of the nobles in the gladiatorial arena, and it is also a poor race. Easy to say.

"Yes. Minotaurs, there are not many races that have survived since ancient times. Izawa sighed.

"Bang, bang." Two minotaurs walked up to the field, their huge bodies like a small mountain. Wearing a coarse cloth shirt, the muscles bulge all over the body, giving people a sense of strength.

"Taught." The two minotaurs bowed their hands, a humble look.

"Each other." Izawa and Yi also hurriedly bent over. Ize and Yi are still very polite, let alone in the face of such a good-natured race. As the saying goes, those who respect others will always respect them.

"Irelia, you can rest for a while." There are only two opponents.

Regardless of the strength of the opponent, Yi and Ize decided to take it seriously and go all out. Just because the opponent is them.

"So, I'm going to go." Yi slowly drew out the long sword, and the corners of his clothes were windless and automatic.

"Coax~~" There was only one roar that answered him.

Izawa rolled his sleeves and looked at his opponent squarely.

"Roar!"

The minotaur roared angrily, and although it was large, it was not slow. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to Izawa, clenched his hands and raised them above his head, smashing them into Ize with a force of ten thousand pounds.

"This kind of force. If you hit it, you have to fly to another part of the mainland. Listening to the rumbling wind in his ears, Ize didn't dare to be careless, and avoided it dangerously at the moment of falling.

"What a power." Izawa approving. "Close combat is not what I'm good at, though. Only if you can catch me, that kind of power is not something I can bear. ”

White light erupted from Ize's hands, and waves of energy light shot out from his hands as he kept moving. The minotaur did not dodge or dodge, and rushed forward with his body stiff.

"Good physical fitness." Izawa smacked his tongue secretly.

On the other hand, it is easy to do this.

The Minotaur's weapon is his body, his fist. The light of Yi's long sword flowed, slashing at the opponent's body again and again, but it was like cutting through steel, causing no wounds, only a few white marks. The minotaur swung a backhand punch, and Yi Changjian hurriedly stood in front of him. The huge anti-shock force of "Bang" made Yi Fei take a few steps back, and the long sword made a deep sword mark on the ground to stop the retreat.

Yi rubbed his hands that were a little numb, "It's worth the name." ”

The minotaur didn't give Yi a chance to breathe, and he missed a punch and followed closely, and the stage he stepped on shook slightly. Yi felt the slight vibration under his feet, exhaled a long breath, and raised the long sword upside down and held it in his hand.

The running minotaur threw one hand behind him, which was to use the force of the rapid running to hit it. This punch is unstoppable.

“！！！！！”

"Hit!" The audience gasped, wanting to see but not daring to see what was easy to be hit.

"That's not right! That's, afterimage? ”

"Yes, that's an afterimage." In the flash of light, Yi's figure appeared on the side of the minotaur. The long sword in his hand was raised horizontally, like a hurricane slashing around the minotaur with a "clanging" sound.

"It's too fast! It's so fast! The narrator has been incoherent.

When a storm blows, it can easily fall like a whirlwind. Because it was too fast, the minotaur couldn't catch Yi's movements, and half-squatted twice to resist this wave of attacks.

Yi slowly shook his head, "Still doesn't have much effect... ”

Although the minotaur resisted Yi's attack, there were only dozens of minor wounds all over his body, except for the severe damage to his clothes, there was nothing serious.

And Ize's side is about the same as Yi's situation, neither of them can let the minotaur touch it. Although the attack was hit, it did not cause substantial damage.

"If it goes on like this, the physical exertion is terrible. The following matches are even more difficult to cope with. It can't go on like this. Yi Shen stood side by side with Izawa.

Izawa nodded, "I've already done it." The two of us together, not scattered, attacking one with all our might, it's not just as simple as one plus one. ”

"Okay."

After saying that, Ize slowly retreated, and the white glow of his hands became more and more intense. The two minotaurs were still running rampant towards them.

"Left first!" Yi shouted and flew forward with his sword, and Ize continued to emit energy light waves behind him. This time, both of them attacked a minotaur.

And the two bull heads can't attack Ize, so they can only attack easily. Two huge fists faced Yi, Yi Yi's short body passed between the two bodies, and the long sword also left a few wounds.

The two minotaurs, though not slow, are not good at it. After a few times, the first minotaur had many wounds on his body, large and small. The minotaur roared angrily, but there was nothing he could do.

"It's over. Alpha Raid. "Easy to swing the sword and cut at the minotaur like lightning. Although the minotaur next to him had the intention to block it, he couldn't catch Yi's sword.

"Roar~~" The most seriously injured minotaur roared unwillingly and slowly fell to the ground.

"I conceded." Yi held the long sword and arched his hand.

The remaining minotaur shook his head helplessly. He bowed to the two of them convincingly.

Izawa helped the fallen minotaur with an apologetic face, "We're just playing a little trick, and one-on-one doesn't necessarily mean who wins or loses." ”

"No matter how you lose, if you lose, you lose." The Minotaur is upright.

"It's nice to meet an opponent like you. I'm an explorer, you can call me Ezreal. Izawa looked sincere.

"Well, my name is Yi." Master Yi also withdrew his sword and worked with Ize to help the injured minotaur get to the stage.

"Thank you, nice to meet you." The minotaur's smile is very comfortable to look at. "Call me, Alista."

At this time, Ize and Yi didn't know that the Minotaur Alista in front of him was also one of the partners who would fight side by side in the future. "Well, the first game was such a wonderful game for everyone. After a short 10-minute break on the Nambu Academy team, the second challenge team will be welcomed, a team of contestants from the western state of Ionia. Everyone applauded. ”

After winning their first match without an easy hand, the Ize team faced their second opponent.

The team from Huasa also has only three people. And, they are...

"Female... Female? Izawa's eyes widened as he watched the second challenge team walk up to the stage, his jaw drooping to the ground.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Irelia looked at Izawa in bewilderment.

Yi hid to the side and snickered, "I'm fine, but this guy... ”

"I think this competition, it's time to test the standards of your two cultivation. So, I decided not to do it. Izawa cleared his throat and said solemnly.

"Hey, hey, is that so? I don't think that's the reason. Yi teased aside.

"Long-winded! Anyway, I won't do it. Izawa glared at Yi.

"Hahaha."

Yi walked side by side with Irelia to the stage, and Ize was hunched up, half-lying on the stage with his head propped up in his left hand, obviously planning to watch the game. "This guy has no resistance to women. Leave him alone, it's the same old age. Yi said to Irelia.

Let's take a look at the opponent of Izawa's team this time. Three women of similar age. The girl at the head is tall and tall, and she also uses a sword, but her slender figure is matched with a thick broad-edged sword, giving people a visual conflict. The second girl also had a better countenance, with a long knife, but somewhat similar to Irelia. Last place... The appearance is really flattering, how to say, it is the same height as the width of the body, it looks like a round ball, and the appearance is extremely rough. Ize looked at it from a distance and smacked his tongue secretly: This is relatively rare, and I have to write it down in my notes when I go back.

Yi Yi waved his long sword, "If you use a sword at the same time, I will be your opponent." ”

On the other side, she was unmoved, and the girl at the head frowned slightly, looking at Yi and Irelia in front of her, "Our team is all three people. What do you mean by this, to look down on people? ”

"This, this..." Yi scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and turned his head to look at Ize.

Izawa pretended that nothing had happened, that he didn't know anything, and looked around whistling.

"Hmph, in that case. You're welcome. The girl at the head also raised her broad-bladed sword, and rushed towards Yi in a posture, and at the same time said, "Cyril, you should bear the great sword of Irelia." Sikaer, you go deal with the one in the back. That's right, it's the little yellow hair lying on the table. ”

"Okay." It was the girl who couldn't bear to look at her, named Sikaer.

“。。。” Yi Dian sighed, I don't know anything.

Here, Irelia has already faced up with Cyril, and the two girls are constantly touching each other with a big sword and a long knife, and Miaoman's posture and long hair are flying in the air, which is very beautiful.

Seeing Sikar get closer and closer like Ize, Ize whistled and looked left and right without knowing anything. I silently thought in my heart, "I don't care about it." ”

"Where are you looking?"

The girl with the sword pulled out the sword flowers and bullied Yi. Yi can only helplessly respond to the enemy.

"Hey!" Sikar had already walked up to Ize, who was unmoved as if he hadn't seen it.

"Huh? Are you calling me? "Continue to pretend to be stupid.

"The eldest sister said, my opponent is you." Sikar stared at the inexplicable little yellow hair in front of her.

"Ahem, don't bother. I'm just here to fill up, your real opponent is the kid with the sword. Izawa sat up and said to Sikael.

"No, I can't. The eldest sister said, let me deal with you. Sikar pressed straight at Ize.

"What are you going to do?"

"Don't!"

"Don't come here!"

Izawa got up and ran away in a panic, and Sikar chased after him like a ball.

"Shh~~~" The audience applauded.

"Ugh." Yi touched his forehead with a bitter face, and saw Ize who was being chased all over the field.

"I'll say it one last time, don't chase me." Izawa said as he ran as he struggled.

"Meat Bullet Chariot!"

"MD" Izawa continued to run in circles.

"Whew, whew." Ize, who was out of breath, couldn't shake off Sikaer, and stopped and gasped. "Stop, stop! Don't chase me anymore, I throw in the towel. I threw in the towel. "Alas, Dean Diru shouldn't have been promised to participate in this competition in the first place.

"Yohehehehe." Sikael, who was spinning, finally stopped. "Could it be that you admit defeat because I am as beautiful as a flower and can't bear to attack me?"

"MD, I can't take it anymore." Izawa flew forward and struck Sikar in the head.

"Bang, bang." The first was the sound of Izawa's brain crashing on Sikaer's head, and the second was the sound of Sikar falling to the ground.

"Don't insult my taste. Pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and it depends on the object. Izawa rolled up his sleeves and walked away.

"Uhhh The crowd on the field let out a cry of amazement at this earth-shattering reversal.

“。。。” Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Let's end it too." "With a sword in both hands, he flew forward." The infinite way is in my heart. ”

The sword-wielding girl resisted a few times, but finally didn't prevent it. Yi withdrew the long sword around the girl's neck and bowed slowly, "Accept." ”

"Brute!" Izawa gritted his teeth and watched the scene.

Here, Irelia also ended the battle early.

"So. We congratulate Nanwu Academy on another victory. After the players rest for ten minutes, the next regular showdown will be presented to everyone immediately! ”

"It's okay, this game. There is no danger. Yi stared at Izawa, who was specifically speaking to him.

"What a fart." Izawa patted his chest.

"Hahahaha." There are still a few minutes left until the next game. The three of them sit on the stage and wait for their opponents in the next match.

"It's getting closer." Yi said suddenly.

"You mean?" Ize looked at Yi suspiciously.

"Yes. There are a total of 12 teams participating in the group stage this time. Except for us, Noxus, there are ten. I don't know which one it will meet, maybe it's the next one. ”

Izawa nodded, his eyes a little cruel. "Delevingne, I'm looking forward to it too."

Irelia looked at the two of them, "Maybe there are other strong teams. It's like a dark horse like a personal Sai Krivo. ”

"Well, whatever. Give it your all. ”

"Glory for the Academy!"

"Glory for the Academy!"

"Okay. The players are ready for the next race. I can already feel your enthusiasm from the hot weather. Then please have the next group of challenge team xxx debut.。。。 ”

In the next few games, there were no strong opponents, and Yi basically won the game alone. We won't go into detail here.

"Dear audience friends, this morning's competition has been completed. We congratulate the Nanwu team for successfully defending the honor of the Academy. Which team will succeed? Let's wait and see in the afternoon. The commentary's words announced the end of the morning of the first day of the group stage.

The three of them walked off the stage to meet Dean Diru's approving gaze. Although the game was won comfortably in the morning, no one can take it lightly until that big game comes.

The trio returned to the college dormitory for a brief break. At the same time, in another room not far away, several people were discussing enthusiastically. They were the first team to play this afternoon.

"After watching this morning's competition, I also have an understanding of the strength of the opponent. The core of the Nanwu team is Master Yi. One of the tall teenagers said.

"Yes, except for the explorer. Neither Master Yi nor Irelia can be easily knocked down. The tall boy continued to analyze. So in the afternoon game, the four of us had to focus on the explorer first. There are two left, Yi and Irelia, although the odds are still small, but four against two can still fight. ”

The remaining three teenagers in the room were obviously younger, and the expressions of excitement on their faces were still a little green. "If you can compete with Master Yi on a martial arts platform, you will lose it. It's not in vain. The words could not hide the anticipation and joy of the afternoon competition.

"You don't have to participate in the afternoon competition." A grim voice came from directly above.

"Who?" The teenagers looked up in dismay.

I saw a man dressed in black sitting on the beam above, and even his face was wrapped in layers of black veil.

"Who are you?" The tall young man at the head looked coldly at the black-clothed man on the beam and asked.

"Whoosh~"

The man in black jumped off the beam.

"You'll find out tomorrow who I am." The man in black casually dragged over a chair and sat down. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you. I'm just here to inform you that the afternoon competition will be abandoned. ”

The young man couldn't see the depth of the other party, and his face was suspicious, "Why, no matter who you are." It's impossible for us to give up the game. Several younger teenagers surrounded the man in black and looked at him with angry faces.

"Tut-tut." The man in black lowered his head and stared at the two hands that were slowly pulled out of his sleeves, "That's right." ”

"Click, click"

Four downs rang out. One hit! The four of them didn't even make a muffled snort.

The man in black sitting in the chair had already walked to the door, with his back to the four people who had fallen to the ground, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to inform you, I'm just here to give orders." After speaking, he slowly closed the door and disappeared into the scorching sun.

The August sun scorched the earth. An academy without a hint of wind is even more sultry. But the crowd arrived early and waited for the game to begin.

Izawa slowly appeared on the stage with a large, exaggerated hat.

"What are you doing?" Yi stared at Izawa's strange outfit.

"Shhh

“。。。”

"Now there's an update. Due to the sudden abstention of both teams. So we're here to invite this afternoon's third solstice challenger team, Black North. ”

"Black North."

Izawa lifted the brim of his hat and glanced at Yi, "It's here." The three of them stood on the stage like this, watching the four of them dressed in black walk slowly.

The four men in black were all wearing the same black cloaks, and each of them was covered with their faces. Only the back, embroidered with a large number representing identity.

"Hehe, explorer. No matter where you are, do you always feel so funny? One of the men in black who came slowly spoke up.

"Really? You're the same Draven, and wherever I meet you, I always find me disgusted. Izawa replied without raising his head.

The four men in black walked to the arena and slowly stood still facing the three of them. The seven of them held each other like this. Izawa's wide brim hung down to cover his face, and he couldn't see his expression clearly. Yi carried the long sword on his back, his hands on his chest, and his face was calm.

"Explorer, I haven't seen you in two years. You're still sharp-tongued. The tall man in black beside Draven took two steps forward.

"Darius." Yi still had a calm face. "I don't know which two friends are left?"

"You know." Darius said as he ripped off the black cloth that was masked, revealing a young face, but a little old. The rest of the third children also opened their cloaks one after another.

"Number 1, Darius. No. 2, Delevingne. Number 3, Caterina. Number 4, Tyrone. Old friends. Yi slowly hugged the long sword behind his back to his chest, "Since you have come to Ionia." That's enlightenment. Although the tone was flat, it was not difficult to hear the anger.

Like his brother Darius, Draedin had short black hair and slightly dark skin. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised with an unruly expression, "It's nothing, just take a walk in the back garden of your home." ”

"Heh," Izawa chuckled, slowly taking off his hat and looking at his empty right hand, "it's time to wake up from this hot summer." ”

"Yes, my chest hurts terribly." The spinning axe is already in the hand.

"Hehehe. Are you in such a hurry? Darius looked at Ize playfully, "You guys, it seems like there are only three of them?" ”

The three of them were silent, their eyes full of high fighting spirit.

"Do you need to, I'll just stand by and watch the fight?" Darius's great axe was casually swept in his hand, "The province said we bullied you." ”

"No, you don't!"

The corners of Yi's mouth went up, revealing a hint of a smile.

A voice from the stands. The sound moves with the person. In the next second, a person appeared on the stage, dressed in gray, with a big red headband tied his hair back casually.

"Hehe, Beiyan Li Qing, interesting."

"This, this..." The narrator didn't understand the situation a little, and looked at Dean Diru on the stone platform. Dean Diru waved his hand.

The audience didn't know why, they only knew that this competition was unusual.

Two teams, eight people. On the stage, there was not a word. There was only a strong smell in their eyes.

The audience did not make a sound, as if they were infected by the invisible aura on the stage. Only the sun-scorched earth and the incessant chirping of cicadas.

There was no trace of wind in the Nanwu Academy, but the dust and small stones on the stage were beating slightly. The next moment, it's moving!
