The 32 participating teams were divided into eight groups by lottery, each with four teams playing each team, each team had to play one match with three other teams, and each group of four teams played a round-robin tournament for a total of six games (A1-A2; a1-a3; a1-a4; a2-a3; a2-a4; a3-a4), 3 and 0 points respectively. The top two teams in each group will qualify and enter the 1/8 finals of the knockout stage, with a total of 16 teams, that is, the "Top 16".

If two or more teams are tied for points in a group, lots will be drawn to determine the qualified team.

After the meeting, Da Yuan took Wuyan and Wan'er to find them, who were several of their high school classmates: Li Yan, Nangong Yu, He Muge, Feng Zhan, it turned out that all four of them went to Kyoto Academy and formed a team.

Everyone had lunch together and met their teammates during the meal.

The other teammate on the other side is a girl who is a little kawaii, and she looks harmless to humans and animals, but Da Yuan has already seen through her strength at a glance - the peak of Naling, so old and so powerful, it can no longer be described as a genius, it can only be said to be a demon!

And Li Yan, Nangong Yu, He Muge, and Feng Zhan are also the ninth, seventh, eighth, and sixth levels of Naling, respectively, so it can be seen that the opportunities of several people are no less than those of Dayuan and others.

In terms of rank, it is much stronger than Da Yuan and the others, which makes Da Yuan, who wants to show off, depressed for a while.

On second thought, if a few people didn't have such strength, how could they represent the most established Kyoto Gakuin to participate in the competition.

Everyone praised each other, and they also met the girl of the kawaii, named Mu Xiaoxiao, this Mu Xiaoxiao is very good at chatting, and everyone chats well.

Back at the apartment, Li Xue and the two team leaders had already brought back the results of the group draw.

Several people drew Group D, and the other three teams were: the brave team of Jinling Academy, the rushing team of Yellow River Academy, and the last one turned out to be the wolf tooth team of their own Liaoyuan Academy.

Da Yuan laughed and said, "I didn't expect that our five little wolves are quite fateful." ”

And the Wolf Tooth Clans were also depressed when they saw the names of the Beidou Clans of Da Yuan and the others.

The group stage will last for more than a month, with only two matches per day, with each team averaging only one game per 10 days.

It is said that it is to take into account the state of the players, the effect of the game, and the fact that the players can have enough time to digest and absorb the results of the battle after the game, so as to achieve the purpose of promoting improvement through the competition to the greatest extent. Sounds quite human.

Of course, I won't tell you about this kind of thing, mainly to maximize business value......

The first battle of Da Yuan and the others' Beidou clan was scheduled three days later, and the opponent was the rushing clan of the Yellow River Academy.

The two teachers Xue and Li have already sorted out the information of their opponents, and I have to say that they are quite competent.

Rushing Team: Affiliated to the Yellow River Academy, with an average age of 24 years old, all of them are ethereal masters at the peak of Naling, with a solid foundation and a steady playing style.

For the sake of explanation and memorization, the five people are numbered 1 to 5. (The author is too lazy to think about the name of this kind of thing, don't spread it, it's not good to say, ~( ̄▽ ̄~)~)

No. 1: Captain, level 10 of Naling, make the long knife, weapons and equipment attributes unknown! Ability status unknown! Combat power unknown! Spirit pet situation unknown!

No. 2: Vice-Captain, Naling Level 10, Envoy Long Knife, Weapons and Equipment Unknown! Ability Unknown! Combat Power Unknown! Spirit Pet Situation Unknown!

No. 3, No. 4, No. 5: ......

Several people looked at the two teachers with disgust, "This is the information you got here?"

Teacher Li Banxia didn't feel guilty at all, and said as a matter of course, "Yes! That's it, isn't it enough?"

What else can a few people do but laugh and give a thumbs up?

But I don't know anything, my eyes are black, and I can't fight!

Although none of these academies are as good as the four major academies, most of the teams that come here are some Naling pinnacles who have come out of the time.

Of course, it's not that they aren't geniuses, it's just that they're slightly weaker than the top ones, after all, they are also the 24-year-old Naling peak, and they can also make waves when they are thrown into society.

So every year, there will still be one or two dark horses, and we still have to guard against it.

At the critical moment, we have to inquire about our bag~ Comrade Yang Xian came out.

No matter what method he used, an hour later, the information was returned, and this information was naturally not the same as that of the two teachers.

The information is as follows:

Yellow River College, 60 years old, (you should know here that the new year is only 69 years) is a first-class ethereal academy second only to the four major colleges, and has broken into the quarterfinals of the qualifiers seven times.

Hearing this, Li Xue and the two teachers unconsciously stepped away, which is a bit of a slap in the face!

Yang Xian continued: And this rushing team is the strongest in the history of the Yellow River Academy.

No. 1, captain, male, 24 years old, ethereal master of the Naling Peak. Weapons, knives, shields, is a shield warrior that integrates attack and defense, ability: binding, wood attribute skills, can summon vines on the ground to bind the opponent, spirit pet: boar king, Naling peak.

No. 2, deputy captain, female, 21 years old, Naling seventh-level ethereal master, swordsman, she was parachuted into this squad, in fact, she is the soul of the team, with a super sense of command and combat, and is said to be the strongest conductor in the 60 years since the establishment of the Yellow River Academy, and has never seen its ability, but there should be, Spirit Pet: Unknown.

No. 3, female, 24 years old, Naling Peak Ethereal Division, Gunner, Extremely strong attack, Ability: Wind of Resistance, Wind Skills, can push opponents out, Spirit Pet: Ghost Cat, Naling Peak.

No. 4, male, 24 years old, Naling Peak Ethereal Master, Heavy Swordsman, Ability: Strengthen Arm, Increase Right Hand Strength Doubled, Spirit Pet: None.

No. 5, male, 24 years old, Naling Peak Ethereal Master, Swordsman, Ability: Exposure, Light Skill, Can Summoning Strong Light, Blinding Opponents for a Short Time, Spirit Pet: None.

After reading the information of the rushing team, everyone and others were not calm, and they wanted to see what the two teachers said, only to find that the two teachers felt that they had no face to face a few people, and they slipped away!

Da Yuan said, "This game is not easy to play!"

Wuyan snorted, "Fools can see it, can you say something useful?"

Ignoring Wu Yan, Da Yuan pondered for a while before he spoke, "Judging from the information, this rushing team seems to be stronger than the wolf tooth team, since the other party's command is said to be a once-in-a-few decades, it must have its own way, I think we should ...... This way, this way, this way"

After hearing this, several people looked at Da Yuan in disbelief, as if they wanted to get to know him again!

Da Yuan was a little embarrassed to look at it, and scratched his head, "Isn't it that someone on the school forum said that I don't have enough brains, I didn't, I found a few books to learn, and I can use it now!"

A few people still felt that something was wrong, and some looked at Amano inquiringly.

Amano only said, "He's the captain, he says it." ”
