Chapter 376: Opening Ceremony, Exhibition Match, Draw of Lots
In the car, Gadelia complains to Sirona about a series of bad things after becoming a champion, and the paddling champion, whose main business is a mythological scholar, teaches her to her own fishing experience.
The topic discussed by the two was too high-end, and Xia Chen, whose political outlook was ordinary people, couldn't interject.
However, when they talked about the dark organizations in their respective regions, Xia Chen had something to say.
"Are you talking about Team Galaxy and Team Plasma?"
Gardelia was surprised, "Have you, the first-time visitor to the United Districts, heard of Team Plasma?" β
The Plasma Corps is still a church organization, and it only goes around giving speeches to persuade people to release the elves into nature, and does not do such a clear illegal thing as stealing the elves.
So it's really an unusual thing for Xia Chen, a foreigner, to hear about the plasma team.
Xia Chen couldn't explain, but just reminded: "In short, I still suggest that you beware of this organization, their motives are far less pure and beautiful than their teachings. β
Ostensibly, Team Plasma argues that elves are unfortunate at the hands of humans and that they should be returned to nature.
But their real purpose is to spread this idea to make other trainers abandon the elves so that the plasma team can monopolize the elves' powers.
It sounds like a naΓ―ve idea, but as long as it's packaged as a dumpling... Somebody will believe it.
It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, if you don't release it, then I'll rob it.
But that's all for later.
The arrogance of the plasma masses is not so arrogant at this time, they are accumulating strength, absorbing faith, and waiting... The chosen one awakens the dragon god who created the United Nation.
Although these will inevitably happen in the future, it is definitely impossible for Xia Chen to talk to Jiadelia at the moment.
The judging criterion of the law must be behavior rather than motive, not to mention that this motive is still made up by Xia Chen, so he can only make a reasonable reminder to this champion.
Gadelia disagreed, and snorted lightly, "I am the champion, and I should suppress all the small people in the area." β
Her self-confidence is not only in the elves, but also in her absolute strength, when she was a child, she was able to destroy a house in a rage, let alone now.
Seeing that Gadelia didn't pay much attention to it, Sirona helped: "Xia Chen won't joke about this kind of big thing, it's better to be careful." β
Gadelia didn't answer, but Sirona, who knew her very well, knew she had listened.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
It was a short drive from the airport to the hotel, and the three of them returned to their accommodation after chatting.
Although Xia Chen said that he would give himself a leave from the kitchen in the past few days, Sirona is here, and this treatment must still be given.
Stained with the light of Sirona, after a few days, the elves finally ate the food made by Xia Chen himself, one by one, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they were bound to be loyal to the summer on the battlefield the next day.
After the meal, the topic was naturally the World Youth Championships that the three of them had to participate in the next day, but Xia Chen was a participant in the main competition, and the two champions were participants in the exhibition competition.
"Tomorrow morning is my 3v3 exhibition match with Nana, and then the first round of draws, there will only be two of the four matches, the first is Alice and her opponent, and the second is Xia Chen and his opponent."
The hosts' Gadelia revealed the general process for tomorrow.
However, she didn't mention what would happen if Alice and Xia Chen smoked together, I don't know if there was an inside story or ignored this.
Sirona smiled, "It seems that your United Alliance has a lot of trust in Xia Chen's popularity." β
The schedule of three consecutive popular races is to pour another layer of oil on this raging fire, which is bound to be a blockbuster.
Xia Chen has no opinion on what time to compete, and if he plays early, he can eat melons the next day to see the strength level of others.
As for who fights in the first round, it doesn't matter, since the goal is to win the championship, you must have the consciousness to beat all opponents.
Because the World Youth Championships officially opened the next day, Xia Chen chatted with the two champion sisters until nine o'clock, and then went back to his room.
There was no more training, tactics or something had to be arranged after the draw the next day, and there was no chicken soup to pour chicken blood into the fight, no different from usual, and even a more relaxing night passed in my sleep soon.
The next day, Xia Chen and Nimo took the bus arranged by the competition party to the Raven Arena.
The distance of less than one kilometer took more than half an hour.
Although it was only seven o'clock in the morning, the citizens of Raven City who drove to watch the game were so enthusiastic that they blocked the roads leading to the arena.
Of course, most of them came to see the breaking news last night to see the exhibition match between Gadelia and Sirona.
This is not only Gardelia's first public match since taking over as United Champion, but also the first matchup between champions this year.
Although it was only a 3v3 exhibition match, there were still many viewers who were willing to buy tickets for this gimmicky match.
Gadelia is the most popular local king of Hezhong, beautiful, and a superpower whose strength is comparable to that of his own elves.
After becoming the champion, the popularity has risen to the next level, and now there is a faint momentum to catch up with Sirona.
After all, there are a lot of Yan dogs in this world, and the set of "Three No Girls" is quite poking at some people.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The game started at 9 o'clock in the morning, and before 8 o'clock, the Raven Arena, which was enough to accommodate 50,000 people, was already full.
Not only the scene, but the live broadcast room of the World Youth Championships on station P also broke the popularity of tens of millions early.
The world is more honest, and the popularity is equal to the number of people watching online, that is, before the game has started, there are already tens of millions of people watching the exhibition match of the two popular female champions.
But it is impossible for the competition party to make so many people wait, and this hour is naturally to show the developed entertainment industry in Raven City.
Singing and dancing performances, model catwalks, Xiao Ju'er, the super popular owner of Raven Gym, took the lead in exuding her charm before the two champions.
Although there are more elves in this world, what remains unchanged is the human heart, and the spirit of entertainment is common everywhere.
After a hot scene, many LSPs are chanting "one more time", "encore" or something, completely forgetting that today's topic is elf battle.
But the audience forgot, and the host certainly didn't.
By the way, the host is still Xiao Ju'er.
Xiao Ju'er, who finished dancing and walking the catwalk, stood on the stage panting slightly, and beads of sweat slid on the large area of bare skin due to gravity.
The snow-white thighs that have been fully exercised are round and straight, healthy and beautiful.
It is said that her brokerage company has invested hundreds of millions of insurance policies in these legs.
The close-up is given, and some perverted viewers are already swallowing saliva in front of the screen.
Some people even made a rebellious statement of "I can lick the broken bones of this leg".
In short, Xiao Ju'er's sweet voice announced, and the 2025 World Youth Elf Battle Championship officially kicked off.
And before the start of the first round draw, it was the long-awaited championship matchup, Sirona vs Gadelia.
At this time, the popularity of the live broadcast room has approached 50 million.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Since it's a game, it's natural to have a commentary.
And to be able to serve as the commentator of the battle between the two champions, the strength should not be too bad, otherwise I am afraid that it will make people laugh.
The two commentators who served as the two commentators for this exhibition match also had a lot of backgrounds, one of which was the former United Champion who was stepped on by Gardelia to become the champion, Adek.
Adek was only in his thirties at this time, and he was in his prime.
Although he met eventual champion Sirona in the Masters at the beginning of last year and reached the semi-finals, his strength was not questioned.
In the eyes of most people, he is still one of the strongest champions in the world.
However, even so, he was still won by Gardelia in the championship challenge a few months ago with a score of 6:4, which shows how strong Gardelia is now.
By the way, if it is an irregular field battle, Adek is afraid that he will lose even worse.
However, Adek, the uncle, is also optimistic, and after stepping down from the position of champion, he gradually showed his comedian talent.
With the fame bonus of the previous champion, he is thriving in the field of short videos, and many people joke that he is a talk show actor who has been delayed by the championship position.
This World Youth Championship is also his first attempt in the field of matchmaking commentary.
"Hello everyone, I'm Adek, the commentator of this game."
In the studio, Adik was happily greeting the audience.
"I'm commentator Daye."
A man beside him who looked rather out of tune said with a grin.
He is one of the current Four Heavenly Kings of Sinnoh and was also invited to commentate on this year's World Junior Championships.
After his partner introduced himself, Adek said: "This match has not only been long-awaited by everyone, but I am also eager to know the result." β
Daye replied very cooperatively: "Oh? How do you say that? β
Adek replied with a smile: "If you can also be the defeat of both of them at the same time, I think you will also wonder who is stronger." β
Daye: "... It's not for nothing. β
To be reasonable, it is really not easy to become the underdog of these two champions at the same time, at least only those who are of a similar level to them are qualified.
And to be able to take out this not glamorous thing to dry, it takes a lot of energy.
Adek's humorous self-deprecation caused a small climax of a barrage before the game officially began.
I have to say that he does have the talent to do live broadcasts.
At this time, the two handsome champions were already on opposite sides of the battlefield.
The exhibition match officially began.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The starting elves of both sides tacitly chose the Fierce Bite Land Shark and the Giant Golden Monster.
is not only the trump card of the two, but also the quasi-god of equal strength.
said that it was not the best friend's appointment, which made people a little unbelievable.
But in the exhibition game, as long as it looks good, the process is more important than the result.
And for the quality of the game, it's worth the fare for a whole day.
The fierce and domineering biting land shark and the cold and calm giant golden monster vividly reflect the two trainers' diametrically opposed fighting styles.
It doesn't matter who is superior or inferior, they are all the most suitable for their respective styles.
Xia Chen, who is also a superpower, understands very well the step-by-step combat method chosen by Gardelia, because in this way, she can maximize her super reaction speed and thinking speed.
She and her giant monster seemed to share the same brain, and most of the time it didn't need Gadelia to speak for it to understand what was going on in the trainer's head.
Even Gadelia would use this trait to mess with Sirona's judgment.
For example, in the first wave of attacks shortly after the opening, she obviously commanded the Frozen Fist, but the giant gold monster used high-speed movement to directly speed up.
This is certainly not a common situation among rookie trainers where elves do not obey orders, but a deliberate trap by Gardelia.
However, this trick deceived others, but it did not fool Sirona, and without thinking about it, she let the Fierce Bite Land Shark open a quicksand hell that covered the entire field.
Dust and gravel danced.
In an instant, the battlefield was already a scene of dust storms.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg of quicksand hell, and the real horror of this move lies on the ground.
Unwilling to passively wait for the prey to fall into the trap, under the control of the energy, pillars of sand mixed with energy rose into the sky, like ghost hands drilled out of the ground, trying to drag everything above the ground into the abyss.
The strength of the champion level is not only reflected in the strength of various abilities and energy, but also in the strange changes in the elven moves.
There is no doubt that Sirona's ace elven biting land shark is the best of all.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Even if the giant gold monster can float in mid-air through electromagnetic action, it is still accidentally pulled by two "sand palms" when it is distracted and releasing high-speed movement.
The giant gold monster whose strength is not far from the fierce bite land shark will naturally not be easily restrained by a quicksand hell.
The energy was running, and the cold cold air at the steel claws was swirling, and the giant golden monster used the power of the freezing fist to easily break free from the shackles of the quicksand hell.
In the face of the dust storm, its body in a high-speed state flexibly dodged the sand pillars that attacked one after another.
Holding its claws with a majestic chill, the giant gold monster was not straight, but it still rushed towards the fierce bite land shark at great speed.
In the face of the four-fold restrained Frozen Fist, the ordinary trainer would have already let the Fierce Bite Land Shark use burrowing or hold its edge for the time being.
Such a command may not be brilliant, but it will never make mistakes.
But Sirona did not choose this safe way to deal with it, not because of her pride in being the best in the world, but because of her absolute trust in her own fierce bite land shark.
The tip of the needle was against the wheat mang, and the vicious energy on the fine and sharp teeth of the fierce bite land shark surged, and in an instant, it condensed the move [bite], and then rushed away without fear, returning the fist with teeth!
Two meteors, one purple and one green, with afterimages, swept through the air, and the hot rough body collided passionately with the cold steel body, obviously without the use of fire-based moves, but there seemed to be sparks splashing in the air.
With neither elf dodging, the two mutually restrained moves, the Frozen Fist and the Bite Smash, both hit each other with all their might.
is also a champion-level elf, and the effect of quadruple restraint is still stronger than double restraint after all.
Even if she was as strong as biting a land shark and eating the frozen punch that the giant gold monster had been building up for a long time, she also wore a hideous mask of pain on her face.
Seeing that the first round of confrontation was about to end with the slight upper hand of the giant gold monster, on the ground, a pillar of sand several times thicker and longer than the previous one rose into the sky, turning into a rough big palm and grabbing the giant gold monster.
The giant golden monster with extremely fast reaction speed subconsciously wanted to escape, but one of its claws was being crushed by the fierce bite of the land shark, how could it escape?
Looking at the huge sand palm that swallowed the entire body of the giant golden monster, the audience understood the true intention of Sirona and the fierce bite of the land shark.
If a single bite isn't enough to compete with the Frozen Fist, what about adding quicksand hell?
And Gardelia also reacted in a very short time, since she couldn't escape, she simply didn't escape.
The frozen fist on the steel claws that the giant gold monster had not been bitten condensed again, and suddenly, the ice-blue light in the quicksand flourished, and the overflowing cold air washed away the sand that engulfed it.
The two elves were already very close, and the fierce bite land shark also took the initiative to bite the claws of the giant gold monster and did not let go, and of course, the second punch hit the body of the fierce bite land shark again.
The icy aura seeped through the skin, eroding the intersection of the steel claws and the fierce bite of the land shark's body, causing a large area of skin around it to reveal an icy blue and purple color.
This pain could not make the fierce bite land shark retreat, the pitch-black evil energy lingered between the teeth again, the bite force of the fierce bite land shark was extremely strong, the upper and lower jaws closed with force, and the steel body of the giant gold monster faintly appeared cracks.
And underneath, in the continuous quicksand hell, another sand demon crawled out, biting the body of the giant gold monster together.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
All of this happened in just ten seconds.
And such a tense, exciting, fast-paced, injury-for-injury violent style of play filled every minute and second in this exhibition game.
The two champions and their elves used their violent aesthetics to present the audience with a match that ignited the atmosphere of the audience.
The number of people in the live broadcast room has almost doubled in just ten minutes, approaching the 100 million mark.
All in all, the results of this exhibition match greatly exceeded the expectations of the competition team, and it was perfect.
As for the final result, it was not a surprise, and Sirona narrowly won with a score of 3:2.
And she also continues to hold a record of 37 official matches for two and a half years in a row.
Excluding decades ago, the legendary Marsted from the Garrell region has been the longest and most winning streak in the past three decades.
And now Sirona has just celebrated her twenty-seventh birthday.
If nothing else, her legend will continue to be written for a long, long time.
According to the established competition process, the exhibition match is followed by the draw session.
Taking advantage of the popularity of the live broadcast room, the host Xiao Juer hurriedly guided the two champions to start the first round of the draw.
I saw a Yanwu King, one of the three royal families, carrying a transparent glass box with one hand and walking onto the stage, among which were eight round balls of the same size and color.
As a "guest", Sirona draws first.
Under the lens of the camera slowly advancing, she randomly picked up a ball and opened it, showing the note in it to the audience and the audience in the live broadcast room.
The name on it is...
Donghuang area - Xia Chen!
