"Let's put aside the matter of the Qiankun Tournament first, let's eat first, and it is imperative to confirm the list of players who will play against Lishan Middle School tomorrow."

After Zhou Mengran spoke, everyone began to eat with chopsticks.

The next opponent in the round of 16 in the team competition is Lishan Middle School.

There was a projector in the private room, and Long Yifei connected the projector with a tablet and played a video of the game: "This is the video of the game between me and Xue Yi in the qualifiers and the top 32 of Lishan Middle School. ”

In fact, every game in the friendly match will have a special live recording, and Long Yifei and Sun Xueyi deliberately chose different angles from the live video to show more details.

Seeing that the two of them were so careful, Zhou Mengran nodded with a smile: "You two have done a good job." ”

"If only I could help."

"We're kind of contributing to the team."

can help, Long Yifei and Sun Xueyi are both very happy.

While everyone was eating, they watched several competition videos from Lishan Middle School and began to analyze them.

"Lishan Middle School's beast style is to focus on strength training, contract pet beasts are basically fighting or ordinary departments, presumably in the daily training, have given up part of the speed training, only the pursuit of high explosion and high defense."

"In the qualifiers, Lishan Middle School played against Mingdong Middle School, and the latter's Royal Beast style focused on speed, and at the beginning it also adopted the tactics of fighting a war of attrition, but in the end it still lost."

"Lishan Middle School's pet beast has thick skin and thick flesh, high defense, and can make mistakes many times, but Mingdong Middle School can't, once the flaws are exposed, they are caught by Lishan Middle School, and they will be directly defeated with one blow."

“……”

"Which of you wants to fight?" Zhou Mengran looked around at everyone, ready to set the list of players.

Pei Gang was the first to take the initiative to ask to play: "I'll come to the game, if I compete in strength, my shield armor dragon will not lose." ”

Lou Huayu also raised his hand excitedly: "Count me in!" ”

"Then the last candidate, Zihan will play." Zhou Mengran turned his head to look at Xia Zihan.

Among the remaining people, except for Gu Ling, Xia Zihan's mini doll was the most explosive in an instant.

As long as the mini doll successfully switches forms, the attack power will be greatly increased, and there is no need to defend at that time, just give the opponent seconds before that.

Moreover, ghost-based mini dolls also have attribute advantages against fighting or ordinary pet beasts.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou." Xia Zihan nodded.

"Then the list of the top 16 in tomorrow's team competition will be set for Pei Gang, Lou Huayu, and Xia Zihan."

After determining the list of the top 16, Zhou Mengran did not forget to tell Gu Ling and Lu Jiuwen, who did not participate: "Although the two of you do not have a team competition for the time being, you must also prepare well for the top 16 of the individual competition the day after tomorrow." ”

Gu Ling and Lu Jiuwen nodded.

Wan Endong interjected: "The best record of Nanping No. 1 Middle School in the individual competition is the top 8, I hope you can all reach the top 8 the day after tomorrow." ”

"Director Wan, we will work hard."

“……”

After lunch, Gu Ling declined the invitation to go out shopping with Huang Weiwei and a few girls, and when she returned to the hotel room, she released the naughty ghost.

The naughty ghost used poison resources several times in a row, and at this time he felt that his whole body was even greener.

It's not a dull green, it's more like some kind of flowing fluorescent green liquid, which is very conspicuous and dangerous.

"Naughty, how are you feeling?" Gu Ling asked.

The naughty ghost smiled and nodded, and the little fat hand patted his stomach confidently: "Ji Ji~"

"It's time to use the ghost incense, you get ready."

"桀桀~"

The naughty ghost took out the ghost incense burner and a special box directly into his stomach and placed them on the hotel balcony.

Then, while tinkering with the ghost incense burner, the mischievous ghost took out the ghost jelly from his stomach and swallowed it in one gulp.

Gu Ling first felt the movement of Xian Jiu in the pet beast space, and when he saw that Xian Jiu was still meditating, he put his mind at ease.

After the naughty ghost got into the special box, Gu Ling closed the balcony door and went back to watch the video of the game.

……

Next.

Day 4 of the friendly match.

- Friendly Match Schedule: Team Round of 16

Gu Ling did not continue to stay in the hotel, but went to the central battle hall with the others to watch the game.

Nanping No. 1 Middle School vs Wenshan Middle School

In the first game, Pei Gang played, except for a small injury in the middle of the game, but finally won the first game.

But in the second game, the players of Wenshan Middle School actually held the idea of ending up together, and let their pet beast suddenly launch a self-explosion, and Xiao Longshi was entangled by the opponent's pet beast and couldn't get out.

After the self-explosion, the pet beasts on both sides lost their sense of battle at the same time, and the second game ended in a draw.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't win ......"

After the end, Lou Huayu blamed himself, and he lost his previous looks.

Zhou Mengran said with relief: "The opponent also wants to win, Xiao Longshi's defense is not weaker than them, Wenshan Middle School doesn't want to admit defeat easily, so it can only use the method of self-explosion, if it is replaced by a small water leopard or a small vine monster with low defense, they may win back a game if they are not careful." ”

He Siruo nodded on the side: "Yes, Xiao Longshi has done a good job, you can take it to the medical room for treatment first." ”

"Hmm."

Zhang Huizi summoned Di Lu Dan, and after giving Xiao Longshi a set of treatments, he asked Lou Huayu to take Xiao Longshi back into the pet beast space.

With Lou Huayu leaving, the time of halftime ended and the third game began.

Just when Xia Zihan was about to play, Gu Ling saw the message posted by Lu Jiuwen in the group:

[Gu Ling, come over to the battlefield on C.] ]

Gu Ling turned his head to look at Dai Hao on the side and asked, "On the other side of the battlefield on the C side, it's the match between Qingchuan No. 1 Middle School and Yulan Middle School, right?" ”

Because several team matches were played at the same time, Gu Ling and the others, who didn't have to play, didn't all stay here, Lu Jiuwen, Long Yifei and Sun Xueyi all went to other battlefields to watch the games, and by the way, they collected intelligence.

"Yes." Dai Hao nodded: "Since Xiaowen told us to hurry up, there must be something going on over there." ”

Xia Zihan still needs to play the third game, Zhou Mengran can't leave as the leading teacher, and Pei Gang and Lou Huayu have already taken the pet beast to the medical room for treatment, and there is no way to go over.

"Go quickly, I'll stay and cheer for Zihan."

"Me too."

He Siruo and Huang Weiwei chose to stay.

Gu Ling nodded: "That's good." ”

Subsequently, Gu Ling and Dai Hao hurried to the battlefield of No. C.

When the two of them arrived at the battlefield on No. C, they subconsciously saw the score displayed on the big screen at first glance:

- Qingchuan No. 1 Middle School vs Yulan Middle School

——2：1

"Why are you still playing? Isn't 2:1 already over? Gu Ling walked quickly to Lu Jiuwen's side.

Moreover, now it is clear that Qingchuan No. 1 Middle School is leading by the score, but the faces of everyone in Qingchuan No. 1 Middle School are a little solemn, and the atmosphere seems to be a little depressed.

Lu Jiuwen explained: "Now it's a Qiankun competition. ”

"Qiankun Race? Was Magnolia Middle School started? Gu Ling's face was startled, and he turned his head to look at the pet beasts of the two sides that had just started to fight against the battlefield of No. C.

The player who played here in Qingchuan No. 1 Middle School was Cheng Zuoming, the captain of Qingchuan No. 1 Middle School, Gu Ling had read the information before and knew this person.

But the contestant from Yulan Middle School was a short-haired girl with a very face.

At this time, the battlefield is almost a one-sided crushing situation, and the rhythm is completely dominated by short-haired girls.

"Who's that girl?" Gu Ling asked curiously.

Lu Jiuwen replied: "Bai Xiuwen, the captain of Yulan Middle School, the captain Cheng Zuoming of Qingchuan No. 1 Middle School is here, and the pet beasts of the two of them are all general-level, one is a super skeleton Nighthawk, and the other is a fire-based wind and fire horse. ”

Dai Hao on the other side stroked his glasses, and his face was slightly condensed: "Qingchuan No. 1 Middle School has been in the top four of the friendly competition all year round, and it is not surprising that the contract pet beast of captain Cheng Zuoming is a general-level pet beast, but there is also a general-level pet beast on the side of Yulan Middle School......"

"If I'm not mistaken, Yulan Middle School was a private school that was founded just five years ago, right?"

At this time.

on the battlefield.

The Wind and Fire Pony hissed in pain, and his body tried to struggle, but it was controlled by the skeletal Nighthawk's telekinesis, and he was stagnant in mid-air and unable to move.

Bang! Bang!

The Wind and Fire Pony was randomly smashed to the ground, then controlled to float up, and then continued to smash to the ground...... It's like a toy in the hands of a child, being smashed and tossed at will.

In the rocky field, deep pits have been smashed out one after another.

“…… I throw in the towel! ”

Cheng Zuoming looked at his wind and fire horse distressedly, clenching his fists tightly, but in the end he could only grit his teeth and say these three words.

The referee then announced the result.

“…… The winner of the Qiankun Tournament is the Skeleton Nighthawk! Congratulations to Yulan Middle School for advancing to the top 8 of the team competition. ”

Bai Xiuwen heard that the other party had admitted defeat, his eyes were cold and indifferent, revealing a bit of mockery: "Trash." ”

"You-"

Cheng Zuoming hurriedly ran into the battlefield, and was about to check the injuries of the Wind and Fire Horse, when he heard the two words spoken by Bai Xiuwen, and immediately glared angrily.

But after Bai Xiuwen took back the skeleton nighthawk, he turned around and left without hesitation.

Gu Ling, who watched the whole game in the audience, was surprised in his heart.

Before the start of the game, it is estimated that everyone did not expect that Qingchuan No. 1 Middle School, which is the favorite to win the championship, would lose to the ordinary Yulan Middle School.

Gu Ling looked at Bai Xiuwen's back as he left, and said secretly in his heart: "Bai Xiuwen, this person is quite strong......"

Cheng Zuoming of Qingchuan No. 1 Middle School is already strong enough.

Qingchuan No. 1 Middle School is famous for the implementation of militarized management and learning of all students in the school, the school rules are extremely strict, and the competition in the school is fierce.

But now facing Bai Xiuwen from Yulan Middle School, Cheng Zuoming has no power to fight back.

It's not so much a battle, it's more about Bai Xiuwen's unilateral trick Cheng Zuoming.

……

Midday.

Gu Ling and the others gathered in the private room for lunch, and also watched the live broadcast replay video of Qingchuan No. 1 Middle School vs. Yulan Middle School in the morning.

At the beginning of the official battle, except for Bai Xiuwen's easy crushing in the first game, Qingchuan No. 1 Middle School won the next two games.

In the final Qiankun game, Bai Xiuwen returned to the game, but he didn't expect to beat the captain of Qingchuan No. 1 Middle School so badly.

Moreover, the most uncomfortable part is that Bai Xiuwen deliberately commanded his pet beast to repeatedly torture the opponent's pet beast during the game.

Even if the opponent's pet beast falls to the ground, it still attacks.

Huang Weiwei felt a little distressed about the scarred pet beasts in the video, and said angrily: "This person is too bad!" defeated the opponent, and played with the opponent's pet beast like this. ”

"That's right! It's too shameless, and there is no bottom line than Gu Ling. Lou Huayu nodded in agreement.

Gu Ling: ?

"Wait...... What does this matter to me? Gu Ling felt that he had to clarify himself.

I'm always going to beat my opponents, right?

However, Bai Xiuwen is a person...... It really gave Gu Ling a strange feeling.

So far, although Gu Ling has come into contact with the beast masters, although they have fought fiercely in the battle, everyone can feel that they take good care of their pet beasts.

And this Bai Xiuwen is more like using the pet beast as a tool, and there is no trace of love for the game and the pet beast in his eyes.

Zhou Mengran turned off the video of the game that was playing: "In the past five years, Qingchuan No. 1 Middle School has made it to the semi-finals with the worst results, including one championship and one runner-up. ”

"And Yulan Middle School is a private school, the school that has just been established in recent years, the captain of the Yulan school team is called Bai Xiuwen, and he won the Qingchuan school team captain Cheng Zuoming in the Qiankun competition."

Lou Huayu looked worried: "...... Now that Yulan Middle School has won Qingchuan No. 1 Middle School, isn't our top 8 opponent Yulan Middle School? ”

"It's obvious." Dai Hao said.

Gu Ling turned his head to look at Zhou Mengran: "Teacher Zhou, do you have any details about Bai Xiuwen?" ”

Zhou Mengran shook his head regretfully: "The first few friendly matches of Yulan Middle School belonged to those who came to accompany the runners, and they couldn't even play the qualifiers, so the school didn't collect a lot of information. ”

The game is going to be played tomorrow morning, and now it's a little too late to check Bai Xiuwen's information temporarily.

Lu Jiuwen raised his eyes to look at everyone, and slowly spoke: "Bai Xiuwen, is a special enrollment of Yulan Middle School, Yulan Middle School is a newly founded private school, and its popularity is not as good as that of an old public school like Qingchuan No. 1 Middle School. ”

While speaking, Lu Jiuwen posted a data file in the competition group.

Lou Huayu patted Lu Jiuwen's shoulder excitedly: "I almost forgot that your kid is a rich young master!" I want to find out what a bunch of people are doing it. ”

"Shut up and look at your profile." Lu Jiuwen's voice was cold, and he continued: "I didn't pay much attention to Bai Xiuwen before, I only focused on investigating the official player information of the top eight teams in previous years, and the information I have at hand is also limited. ”

Gu Ling clicked into Bai Xiuwen's profile, and when he saw the first line, his eyes paused slightly.

Bai Xiuwen, a 15-level special student at Yulan Middle School, died at the age of 10 when his parents died in a wild pet riot...... Later, he was adopted by his uncle's family......

The time when Bai Xiuwen's family had an accident was quite close to the time when Yulan Middle School was founded and began to enroll, and there was a gap of about a year in between.

However, for a school to be built, it will take two or three years to build a building alone.

Looking at the several pages of information in the information, Lou Huayu exclaimed: "I'll go, you call this limited information?" You can't even find out what Bai Xiuwen eats for three meals a day, right? ”

Lu Jiuwen was silent for a moment: "I'm not as perverted as you." ”

After Zhou Mengran roughly read the information, he sighed lightly: "It seems that it was Yulan Middle School who discovered Bai Xiuwen's talent in beast control, and then recruited people to bring it in, not only helped to transfer the household registration, but also free tuition, food, and accommodation......

"Wow, the school environment of Yulan Middle School is so beautiful."

"Yulan Middle School was founded by a wealthy businessman, saying that it was to give back to his hometown, so he naturally wanted to make it beautiful."

“……”

Huang Weiwei and the others were a little surprised when they saw the introduction of some of the advanced facilities in Yulan Middle School.

Zhou Mengran looked at everyone, and there was a bit of caution in his voice: "The overall strength of Yulan Middle School is not too good, the only one who stands out is Bai Xiuwen, I am worried that even if we win Yulan Middle School tomorrow, we will still start the Qiankun Competition." ”

Then, Zhou Mengran looked at Gu Ling, who was a little stunned: "The Qiankun competition must be played by the captain, Gu Ling, you have to prepare next." ”

The captain of each team is the first in the grade in their respective schools, and Nanping No. 1 Middle School is no exception, and Gu Ling is also the captain.

Now, half of the prize money of Yulan Middle School has been divided, so naturally I don't care how many schools divide that half of the prize money.

Therefore, even if Gu Ling and them win the top 8 match, it is very likely that Yulan Middle School will start the Qiankun competition again.

After all, Magnolia Middle School is now barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes.

But Nanping No. 1 Middle School can't lose, if it loses, it's Nanping No. 1 turn to choose whether to open the Qiankun Competition, and even if you win, you will be deducted from the bonus.

Gu Ling didn't want anyone to develop to that point.
