June 22, 7:50 a.m.

In Edo City, the national team stayed at the hotel for the individual tournament, and people sat in a small hall on the first floor of the hotel.

There are only 21 players left in the individual competition, all of whom are the elite of the elite, and the level of those who have stayed is beyond doubt.

If the quarterfinals of the team competition can be regarded as the "finals", then the top 21 in the individual competition is enough to be called the finals.

21 players, 14 countries.

Of these 14 countries, there are eight European countries.

From this point of view, it can also be seen where the great gods in this world are gathered.

Of course, Huaxia Football has 3 players in the top 21, and in terms of the number of players, it is a well-deserved "leader".

This is still the result of the civil war between Xie Yan and Ember.

Ember, who was locked out of the top 21 gates, has won consecutive victories in the past four days of competition, and finally the global ranking is fixed at 22nd, which is a very good result.

The intensive schedule in four days, and the performance of Ember to the point of explosion, earned enough face for the country and his alma mater, but also changed the evaluation of him in China.

Today, the national team is the most complete, a lot, anxiously waiting for the results of the draw on the big screen.

Jiang Xiao also didn't have the empty posture he had before.

Well, man, it's always like that. Because of ignorance, fearlessness.

When Jiang Xiao turned out the old bottoms of the other 20 players and studied them one by one, he found that there were many tricky people among them.

After all, there are really no weaklings left to stay until now.

However, Jiang Xiao also has a certain degree of self-confidence, he is not mixed up, he is a top 21 with real swords and guns.

Along the way, it's all bumpy!

Especially the previous battle with George Xing, it really gave Jiang Xiao a glimpse of what the real World Cup should look like.

In terms of the current domestic evaluation of Jiang Xiao's series: Jiang Xiao's road to the World Cup is so high that it makes people desperate.

All over the world, one is counted as one, and a random player is drawn out, and according to Jiang Xiao's opponents along the way, whether he wins or not, it depends on his face whether he can survive or not.

Until now, the vast majority of people have no doubts about Jiang Xiao's strength.

are all praising Jiang Xiao as an immortal genius, and the scarcity of star maps just makes Jiang Xiao's hard-working character.

"Star skills are not enough, technology is to make up", Jiang Xiao once said in an interview, this sentence is indeed regarded as a classic, and his knife skills, after one test after another, have been recognized by the official and the public.

Of course, the folk have long had the theory that Jiang Xiao is a true genius, although the number of star slots is scarce, but there are several one-star double skills, which obviously make up for the loss of some star slots to a certain extent.

The key is that the silent voice and the gap between time and space, which are extremely difficult to absorb, are also in Jiang Xiao's pocket, and it can be seen that Jiang Xiao's Big Dipper Nine Star Map is indeed the best in the auxiliary star map, and the degree of compatibility with auxiliary star skills is very high.

Of course, if you do the math, it doesn't seem to make up for it...... The number of all star skills is combined, and there are only 12 star skills.

These 12 public star skills include 1 blessing, 2 green mangs, 3 patience, 4 bells, 5 seals, 6 attachments, 7 dawns, 8 countercurrent lights, 9 silent voices, 10 gaps in time and space, 11 pure tears, and 12 sad tears.

Among them, the "printing" star skill is almost equal to the decoration in the 1V1 competition.

Fortunately, the high-quality star skills and patience that the parents of the little poisonous milk exchanged for their lives really added a lot of combat power to Jiang Xiao.

In the World Series, most of the players are in the galaxy stage, and there are no players who have failed to break through the sea of stars, and there are 16 available star slots in the galaxy stage.

16 star slots VS Jiang Xiao 12 star slots.

People believe that the current stage should be the peak stage that Jiang Xiao can reach, and it is also the strongest stage.

After that, there is no succession.

As the strength of the Star Warrior rises and enters the Star Sea Stage, the number of 24 available star slots will throw off the little poisonous milk again.

This is a very interesting phenomenon, ordinary star martial artists can't even get a letter of recommendation from the school, or they have already spent half their lives in their posts, and they may even have no hope of advancing to the galaxy stage for a lifetime, and they can only use eight star slots, but when facing Jiang Xiao, there is a faint sense of superiority.

Such a disdainful attitude and a faint sense of superiority in the heart... Well, it's a very interesting presence indeed.

With the World Cup going on, Jiang Xiao has become the focus of attention. Many people have begun to give advice to Jiang Xiao, hoping that his ninth star slot will not absorb star pets.

If you give up the star pet and choose to absorb the star skills, through the special Big Dipper Nine Star Chart, you will hit the big luck again and absorb the one-star double skills, then you can further make up for the gap in the number of star slots. There are 13 or 14 star skills, which is barely equal to the number of star slots of the most mediocre star warriors.

Jiang Xiao also seriously considered such a proposal, but ...... He still wants a powerful star pet.

Jiang Xiao is very clear about his positioning, because the anointing software in his mobile phone is the latest version.

Jiang Xiao knows that he is an assistant, don't look at him in the individual competition, but this is just a characteristic of the single competition, he must go to 1V1.

But Jiang Xiao has experienced real wars, and he knows what the role of the war system is on the battlefield, and what is the role of the law system.

Compared to the rampaging battle system star martial artist, Jiang Xiao preferred to be an auxiliary personnel.

He wants to be a father, and if necessary, he can be a conductor, so that the team members can be the knives in his hands.

Jiang Xiao once flickered on the battlefield and kicked out a finale.

And the two tails that rushed towards Conkkind are the best interpretation of the "knife".

Being able to advance and retreat is not a necessary quality for Jiang Xiao, but only a plus for him.

Jiang Xiao felt that his star skill configuration was very reasonable, as long as he practiced to the extreme, it would be enough to deal with any situation, he wanted a star pet that matched him, a pet that could accompany him in the southern and northern battles.

As for the templates for star pets?

Of course, it's the second tail......

High output, high defense, high agility, high perception... It's exciting to think about.

Well, it would be even better if the pet in the future could be ridden, Baishan Snow Feather is actually very ideal, but in order to cooperate with the team of the second tail, Jiang Xiao does not need to have the same pet as her.

In the category of star pets, it's good that the pet attributes of the team members are different, and the types of star skills are different, after all, you don't know what kind of battlefield situation you will face in the future.

Another reason that made Jiang Xiao wholeheartedly get the star pet was, of course, the magic skill bait.

With the improvement of the quality of the bait, it has changed from a phantom to a physical body, and from a physical body that has changed from a knife to a "real body" that will not be broken without hitting the vital parts, and from a real body to a clone that can communicate with each other.

According to such an evolutionary trend, Jiang Xiao has enough reason to believe that high-quality bait will eventually unfold a star map.

Want to go the output route? Fighting? Assassination? Royal War? Fighting? Or is it a legal system of various departments? Bait, of course.

It can not only be self-contained, but also integrated into Jiang Xiao's team.

If Futao's team members can't be found all the time, maybe, she's waiting for the bait to mature?

While thinking about it, Jiang Xiao felt a commotion.

There were only 21 people, and the lottery ceremony went quickly, and the fourth group, Hou Mingming's character image appeared in the first position, and the red star flag fluttered high.

Hou Mingming, steady as an old dog, still holds the average speed record in the individual competition.

She is also the only player who can make the Chinese still dare to shout "please the next victim" in the sixth round of the draw ceremony.

However, the victim who was matched was ...... It's a bit strong!

The young man had black broken hair, and he held the Tang knife in his backhand, which was horizontal in front of his eyes, and on the handle of the knife, pieces of cherry blossoms swirled in it.

One of the hosts, recognized as a player who guarantees eight and four players!

Hua Ni Half-blood, Neon Knife God, Captain of the Nation - Nobuyuki Saito!

Jiang Xiao secretly said badly, this guy is probably one of the few players in the 21-man roster who is more restrained.

Before the last competition, Jiang Xiao was interviewed by Wan Ming and Ye Xunyang, and in response to Wan Ming's question, Jiang Xiao answered the key factor after the victory: speed.

no doubt

Nobuyuki Saito is the face of speed at this World Cup.

This game will really test Hou Ming's melee level.

Ordinary players can't even wait to close the distance with Hou Mingming, and they have already been shot into a sieve.

The goddess of hunting in the last game also tried to shoot bows and arrows at each other, supported them for a long time, and finally tried to fight in close quarters, but after all, she was a little slower, and was taken away by Hou Ming Ming with a few arrows.

And this Saito Nobuyuki, I'm afraid he won't give Hou Ming any chance to react.

Jiang Xiao turned his head and looked at the front left, and then leaned on the back of the chair, clasped his hands around his chest, stared at the big screen silently, and snorted coldly.

The next moment, Hou Ming turned his head and met Jiang Xiao's gaze.

Jiang Xiao blinked.

Hou Mingming's eyes were full of regret, and she looked at Jiang Xiao for 5 seconds, and finally Jiang Xiao looked up at the big screen, and she silently withdrew her gaze.

There are only 10 groups of battles in total, and 1 person has a bye.

When Jiang Xiao appeared in Group 9, he had a sense of foreboding.

And this hunch soon became a reality!

When Jiang Xiao appeared in the No. 1 and No. 2 positions, the three character pictures were quickly switched, and the small auditorium was silent, and people looked nervously at the big screen, secretly praying in their hearts that fate would not be joking......

Bite!

The No. 2 figure is locked, and the red star flag is flying high.

Xie Yan tore the black fist belt and broke into everyone's field of vision.

"I'm drafting the uncle's ......" Jiang Xiao held his forehead with one hand and couldn't help cursing.

The silence in the small auditorium is terrible!

The Chinese Civil War, Xie Yan fought continuously!

Sending off teammates is not a great pressure on their hearts.

Jiang Xiao and Xie Yan, no matter who sends them away, domestic public opinion will inevitably be bloody.

If you win against your teammates, then you must win in the rest of the game.

On the one hand, you carry the hopes of your teammates, and on the other hand, if you lose, you will inevitably be dug up and whipped.

In fact, meeting Xie Yan is not the worst option.

If it is really as Hou Ming wants, this game is Jiang Xiao's fight after Ming Ming, if... If Jiang Xiao is lucky enough to win, then Jiang Xiao really has no way back.

Once Jiang Xiao beats Hou Mingming, the person with the most hope of winning the world championship, then in Jiang Xiao's future competitions, if there is any mistake, what awaits him will be the judgment of the public.

In that case, it will not be "the world owes Hou Ming a world champion", but "Jiang Xiao owes Hou Ming a world champion".

Needles could be heard in the small hall, and to everyone's surprise, Xie Yan actually stood up.

In the first five rounds, no matter what lottery was drawn, what opponent he was fighting against, even if he drew the embers of his teammates, Xie Yan was indifferent, but this time......

Xie Yan walked over from the back of the auditorium and stood in front of Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao looked up at Xie Yan and moved a position inward.

Xie Yan didn't sit down, but said lightly: "Don't leave your hands." ”

Jiang Xiao: "Huh? ”

Xie Yan: "Don't be disturbed by any words. ”

Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment, this is ......

Xie Yan looked directly at Jiang Xiao and said, "Respect the profession of the Star Martial Artist, and also respect me, and do your best to win." ”

"Divide the winner and lose, and if necessary, decide life and death." Xie Yan continued, "The stronger person is qualified to wear this team uniform and enter the next round. ”

With that, Xie Yan turned around and left.

Jiang Xiao frowned, Xie Yan was definitely not a flamboyant person, why did he say these words in public?

Jiang Xiao was stunned in his heart, Xie Yan had an experience of a civil war, and the last time he fought was Ember.

So is there any secret to the game between these two people?

Or maybe Jiang Xiao is thinking too much?

Xie Yan simply wanted a battle, a real life-and-death fight.

Instead of a timid competition under pressure and public opinion?
