Chapter 18: The First Round of the Main Competition
The special referee is not an official referee, he can stare if he wants to, and if he doesn't want to stare at it, he can do whatever he likes. Only after reaching the top 32 will he ask to show his face more. Night Frost stared at one game in the morning, and was too lazy to stare at the second game, returning to the VIP area as a high-level spectator. There is also Su Zixi who has similar thoughts to him, and he disappeared without watching the first game. It was Francis, who obviously didn't keep up with Su Zixi's rhythm, and as the prince of the Francisco Empire, he was not too embarrassed to look too careless at the conference of the opponent country, and honestly patrolled below.
Also on patrol are Cang Tongyue and Mo Xiaoguo. However, Mo Xiaoguo looked decent, really staring at the game, and Cang Tongyue was chatting with acquaintances. Night Frost glanced at it slightly, this product has been wandering around the ring of the player she recommended, it seems that she has a good relationship with her recommended player, and intends to take care of it. In this way, the night frost couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Cang Tongyue's recommendation is also a little girl, Xiao Yuan's face is red, making her look a few years younger than her actual age, and she looks cute. But the figure is tall and plump!Night Frost doesn't pay much attention to the seeded players, so I don't know what her name is.
After continuing to touch it a few times, Night Frost saw something that was not very pleasing to the eye. It's not particularly suitable to say that it's not pleasing to the eye, but it's not very comfortable after reading it. Night Frost felt that he was hypocritical, because he just saw Lingyu standing under Lilith's ring.
"What, did you have a holiday with that pair of little mandarin ducks?" Shi Yitang, who was also in the VIP seat and chatting with Hai Qinger while watching the game, noticed the change in Ye Hanshuang's expression and asked with some curiosity.
"It's not a holiday," Night Frost pouted: "It's just that the relationship is not good." β
"That one named Lingyu seems to be crazy, huh?" Shi Yitang glanced at Lingyu and suddenly said: "The performance in the first few rounds of the competition was very outstanding, but it was a bit too ruthless!"
"He's always been that kind of person!" Ye Hanshuang said that he hadn't had a holiday, but someone said bad things about Lingyu, but he immediately expressed his support without hesitation.
"You still said that you didn't have a holiday, and your heart is different!" Shi Yitang glanced at Ye Hanshuang with disdain, Ye Hanshuang looked embarrassed, and Hai Qinger pursed her lips and snickered.
"If you run into him when you turn around, I'll help you clean him up!" Shi Yitang said with a smile.
"Don't be careless," Ye Hanshuang shook his head: "Although I don't like him, I have to admit that this kid is very talented, and his strength may not be worse than yours, and I don't know if you know it, he is the son of the Water Demon King, and the magic is very evil." β
"Water Demon King?" Shi Yitang obviously didn't know about this before, and frowned slightly, but then smiled freely: "So what, the Ten Kings of Aegean are indeed powerful, but their descendants don't know if they can have some of his skills, and ...... Hmm......" Shi Yitang suddenly remembered something, and turned his head to look at Ye Hanshuang in surprise: "If I remember correctly...... How come the Water Demon King is more than seventy or eighty, right? This spirit jade can participate in the exchange competition, it must not exceed twenty ......."
Obviously, what surprised the friends in the St. Francis Academy of Sciences at the beginning also surprised Shi Yitang today.
There was no Lingyu game in the morning, which made Shi Yitang, who wanted to study the opponent in advance, fall through. Instead, Night Frost watched several matches with acquaintances, such as Johnny and Jose. The two of them defeated their opponents without much effort! But the invitation did not see, there seemed to be no match for him in the morning, but today there was no one to see all day, Night Frost asked Johnny, and Johnny also said that the invitation was gone early in the morning. This made Nightfrost thoughtful.
In addition, there was a high-profile match, which was the last game of the morning, and the reason why it was eye-catching was that a player who was very optimistic before the game was eliminated!
According to Johnny, the Wolf youth named Io Drakenapp also participated in the last elite tournament and had a decent score, having played the first round. Lost to a kid from the heart in the round of sixty-four. This comeback is probably to get a better result.
At the age of less than twenty, this Io Dreknap is already a serious magician! And the level of fighting spirit is not low, and there is a good level of war songs! Night Frost's comprehensive strength is not under Jose!
But just as the eight seeded players in this edition were all unlucky in the previous tournament and met a strong opponent in the first game, this Io Draknapp was an unlucky guy this time, and he met a top player in the first game of the main event. Jacqueline Margaret from the Francisco Empire!
The Margaret family is not well-known in the ears of ordinary people, but it is known among the nobles and wealthy families on the mainland! It is the top wealthy family in the Francisco Empire, and even above the Reinhardt family. Night Frost originally wondered which family this was, but Francis who happened to hear it on the side mentioned a name, and Night Frost knew it.
"Princess Protector, goddess of war!" said Francis.
Night Frost suddenly dawned! It turned out to be her family!
Margaret is not familiar with the surname Night Frost, but if it is a name, then she knows very well! It is a legendary figure in the history of the Francisco Empire! The heroine who almost overturned the civil strife of the Francisco Empire, the only female prince and empress in the history of the Francisco Empire! Hearing that it is her heir, Night Frost suddenly feels that this is one of the biggest dark horses of this year. No way, it is recorded in the history of magic that Princess Margaret and the Empress, who have the title of Princess Protector and Goddess of War, not only are the best in the art of war at that time, but they are also genius-level masters of demonic martial arts!
Thinking of this, Night Frost felt sad for that handsome Wolf man, Io.
Not only did the night frost feel sad, but Io himself was doubly sad. The performance of the last session was average, even if it was average. This year's participation is based on the upper age limit. The early stage was smooth, and there were few decent opponents in the knockout round, but as soon as he was about to show his face in the main competition, he was eliminated in the first round!
However, Io is also from a wealthy family in the Moyue Empire, and his upbringing is excellent. And the opponent's strength is indeed better than him, plus although Jacqueline is not a stunning super beauty, she is also beautiful, and she is even better in temperament and elegant manners. Io had a good impression of him, and after the game, only a gentleman expressed his praise for his strength.
Looking at these players whose strength is slightly inferior to his own, Ye Hanshuang sighed gloomily, and originally regretted that the special referee could not participate. At the moment, even if you participate, whether you can pass the knockout round or not may not be a sure thing!
At the end of the game in the morning, it was already lunch time, and the organizing committee was very powerful, selling lunch boxes on the spot. The price is not expensive, and both quantity and quality are reliable! Many spectators and contestants who have competitions in the afternoon are directly solved by box lunches. Ye Hanshuang didn't bother to run out, and because of his status as a special referee, he and Hai Qing'er's boxed lunches were not paid, and of course he wouldn't be polite to slam the door like Night Frost.
Ye Hanshuang originally thought that Shi Yitang, who was a princess, would definitely go out to eat a banquet with the organizing committee, but she didn't expect to eat a boxed lunch in the arena. Even Yu Fengwu, who was close to her, could only eat a boxed lunch with her.
After a brief break, the afternoon game began. In the first round, there was a competition between two players that Shi Yitang was very interested in before, Lingyu and Xia Nu.
I don't know much about Summer Anger Night Frost, but his girlfriend Jiang Jieqian Night Frost is quite familiar. Jiang Jieqian was already very close to the Wizard, and Xia Nu also looked like he was only one kick away from the Earth Fighter. However, Johnny, who was watching the excitement on the side, quietly told Night Frost that this Summer Fury had hidden his strength, and he was actually already an earth fighter! This did not surprise Night Frost much, and the samurai was much more obscure than the magician's elemental fluctuations. It can also be restrained by using Dou Qi, unlike magicians who have difficulty hiding their strength once they use magic.
However, in this way, it is not surprising that Shi Yitang is interested in him, and the fighters at the level of ground fighters have the possibility of winning the championship in previous years, and they are also strong players in this session!
Xia Fu's opponent was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, Ye Hanshuang didn't care too much, it should be a player from which academy. Speaking of strength, it's still very good, if you take the exam, it shouldn't be a big problem to get the title of a great magician. However, in the ring competition, the samurai had to take advantage of it after all, and Xia Nu's strength itself was stronger than her, although the little girl worked very hard, she was still defeated after all. Xia Nu paid attention to his actions and did not hurt the little girl.
After the game, the little girl's eyes were red, and she was obviously very unhappy after losing the game. But when he looked at Xia Nu, his little face was also red, and Ye Hanshuang was a little jealous, Xia Nu was indeed handsome, at least much more handsome than him.
The Lingyu opponent on the other side is much stronger, and the female players from the Sibia Kingdom are also stepping on the upper limit of the age limit to compete, and their strength is not bad, and they are already very close to the level of the magician. However, there is still an obvious gap between the spirit jade that has been a magician for several years. Lingyu didn't even use the strange magic of the Ling family, and she was able to defeat her opponent relatively easily with just ordinary magic.
Overnight, Hanshuang noticed a small detail, the meticulous Lingyu that was usually cleaned up actually left stubble today! This is almost unimaginable for Lingyu, who was extremely unexpected in the past! After thinking about it for a while, Night Hanshuang remembered that Hai Qing'er had said that Lingyu was like a beautiful sister, and suddenly couldn't help laughing. Shi Yitang on the side glanced at Ye Hanshuang, who suddenly laughed, that look was like looking at a neurotic, and Ye Hanshuang's laughter suddenly stopped.
"But that's it. Shi Yitang, who watched Lingyu's performance, said disapprerovingly: "In the next game, I will definitely help you teach him a lesson!" Shi Yitang said with a smile to the night frost who looked unhappy and pretended to be indifferent.
"Don't be careless, this opponent is very weak, he doesn't contribute much at all, and ......" Night Hanshuang glanced at Shi Yitang very strangely: "How do you know that you will definitely meet him in the next game?
After the round of 32, each player will have a number, and the opponents they will face if they win the next few games are determined at the beginning. However, the players in the first two rounds were selected at random. Night Frost wondered how Shi Yitang could be so sure that he would encounter Lingyu in the next round, and the probability was as low as three percent!
"Should I say you're naΓ―ve or should I call you stupid?" Shi Yitang looked at Ye Hanshuang with a strange expression: "The organizing committee collected so much money from Ye Chenhan, I'll make a request, choose an opponent for the next round, can they still let me?"
The night frost was dumbfounded, and the sea green on the side seemed to be very happy to see the night frost make a fool of herself, and the laughing flowers and branches trembled.
Ye Hanshuang felt helpless, the grass people and the nobles just couldn't compare, but what surprised him a little was Shi Yitang's attitude towards Ye Chenhan, that is, the emperor of Jiangnan in the Western Regions. It is said that Ye Chenhan, the emperor of the Jiangnan Empire in the Western Regions, will attend the competition after the top thirty-two, but it is only the first round now, so he hasn't come yet, but it seems that he can let Yu Fengwu, who is at the level of the chief of the Praetorian Guard, protect Shi Yitang closely, which shows that he still cares about this sister. But Shi Yitang has always lacked respect for this emperor's brother, at least Ye Hanshuang has never heard her call her brother once, and every time she calls him by his name.
Since ancient times, the royal family has a lot of trouble, and Night Frost doesn't have the heart to think about it, because he saw another game that he was very interested in. Or rather, it's not that the contestants are interested, but that the contestants are interested!
Not far away, in a ring, a female player with short hair like a flame was beating another player with strong flame magic unscrupulously. His opponent is a great earth mage-level player, and his defense is very good. But at this time, he was completely forced into the corner of the ring, and he was encouraged to resist with a shield. It looks like it could be irresistible at any time.
The game was completely one-sided, and even the strength of the two sides was not proportional, so it was not a good game at all. What made Ye Hanshuang care was the female player, who turned out to be Ling Yuxia, who she had seen in Moyue not long ago. Thinking about it, Night Frost vaguely remembered that Ling Yuxia seemed to be a seeded player as well. Suddenly, Night Frost understood why the invitation was gone!
There was a game in the afternoon between the invitation and Xia Nu's girlfriend Jiang Jieqian, but the referee shouted three times, and the invitation still did not appear. The referee had no choice but to announce an abstention, and Jiang Jieqian won without a fight. This surprised everyone, you must know that Invite Ke is also the seeded player of this year, and he actually abstained and lost without a fight? Only seeing Ling Yuxia's Night Frost and Johnny knew the twists and turns, and secretly snickered.
After the game, Hai Qinger followed Shi Yitang and Mo Xiaoguo to go shopping, and Night Hanshuang followed Johnny back to the suite that looked through the sea of clouds, and invited her to eat ice cream on the sofa in the living room of the suite. However, this product and Lingyu are the same type of fat powder, and the smile is very girly.
"Why didn't you go to the game," Johnny shrank back on the sofa after entering the house, picked up the usual potato chips, and ate them very gently, complaining by the way that he was invited to avoid the game: "I also bought dozens of gold coins You can be in the top 16, but I was eliminated in the first round, and I was still a little girl." β
"Do I dare to go?" Invite rolled his eyes: "Ling Yuxia is also here, if she catches her, I won't die." β
The night frost was silent, he had guessed that it might be the reason, and sure enough.
"Also, that man's wife is not welcome. Johnny licked his fingers on the dregs of potato chips and nodded in agreement with the invitation. As early as when he was a student, Johnny and Ling Yuxia had a very bad relationship.
The three of them were teasing the muffled, and there was a quick knock on the door. The people outside were clearly grumpy and were more slamming on doors than knocking on them.
The three of them were funny, and they were very annoyed when they heard it. As soon as he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly remembered something, slammed to the window, opened the window and jumped down.
Night Hanshuang was startled, and hurriedly ran over to take a look, and was speechless, only to see that the invitation was leaning against the wall, suspended in mid-air, and made a silent gesture.
The night frost suddenly poured into the window, and then he shouted: "Who, urging life?"
"Open the door, invite you away!" shouted the man outside the door.
The night frost sweated, and it was really Ling Yuxia......
Opening the door, Ling Yuxia was stunned for a moment when he saw the night frost, and then shouted loudly: "Invite, invite that little bastard, let him come out!"
Ye Hanshuang smiled helplessly, didn't pay much attention to Ling Yuxia, but tilted his head to look out of the door, there was another person outside the door!
This is a tall and plump beauty with blue hair. There is a bit of similarity between the eyebrows and the invitation. The invitation is a bit feminine at first glance, and the beauty in front of her seems to be the female version of the invitation, but it is several sizes bigger.
"Who is this sister?" asked Night Frost, a little confused.
"It's Night Frost, right?" the woman smiled and nodded at Night Frost, "My name is Jane Justin, my sister!"
"Ah, sister, hello!" Ye Hanshuang said in her heart, and hurriedly invited the woman into the house: "Sister, you can sit casually." β
The woman entered the house with a slight smile, and before she sat down, Ling Yuxia had already turned the room around and ran out: "What about inviting that little bastard? Why aren't you there?"
Night Hanshuang couldn't help but sweat again, in front of other people's sisters and called other people's little bastards, Ling Yuxia, how big are your nerves?
But the invited sister, the big beauty didn't care, and still smiled. Night Frost's eyesight is very good, this is definitely not a forced smile in a pretentious gesture, it is a really relaxed smile.
"If you don't invite you here, it's useless for you to tear down the house!" Johnny said nonchalantly, but as he spoke, he had quietly injected his magic into the big gourd beside him. Ling Yuxia's little temper is a quick temper, and he will do it if he doesn't agree with him!
But unexpectedly, Ling Yuxia didn't make a move. Not only did he not move, but he also quieted down.
Ling Yuxia lowered his head, his shoulders twitched slightly, and said with a slight cry: "I know, you all have a good relationship with him, help him avoid me......"
Ling Yuxia has always been more manly than a man, and this sudden style is on the side, and Night Frost and Johnny are dumbfounded.
"I know, I have a bad temper...... Ling Yuxia said this, wiped his eyes with his hand, and his nasal voice became heavier: "But, but the person is a girl, he, how can he run away without saying a word, and ...... is still hiding from others, people ......" Speaking of this, Ling Yuxia suddenly squatted down, buried his head in his knees, and cried.
This time, Johnny and Nightfrost were dumbfounded. I've known Ling Yuxia for almost ten years, let alone crying, I haven't even seen half a second of weakness. In fact, it was only at this time that Night Frost was convinced that this was really a girl!
And Johnny belongs to women, women, women, and it is not enough to say three times during important periods. The sympathy belonging to women suddenly flooded: "Alas, Ling Yuxia, don't cry......"
Night Frost, Johnny, and the invited sister persuaded each other, but Ling Yuxia's crying was still getting louder and louder.
"Alas......" A sigh came, and he opened the window and came in: "Okay Ling Yuxia, don't cry, it's me who is wrong, I won't hide from you......"
The crying stopped abruptly!
Ling Yuxia raised his head, there was no half of tears in his eyes, he smiled, and said gloomily: "Sure enough, Sister Jiani is smart, invite, invite! No matter how shrewdly you are, you still can't escape the palm of my hand!"
"You...... You...... He actually pretended to cry?" Invite couldn't believe it, turned around and was about to run away, but his sister Jiani made a move!
A cyan chain flew out of Jani's sleeve, and in an instant she caught up with the invitation, tying it up strongly. The invitation, which had already been flying in mid-air, fell to the ground with a pop.
Night Frost didn't care about the invitation to scream, but stared at the chain with bright eyes, and muttered to himself, "It can't be that I'm dazzled, right?"
