Chapter 510: Eight into Four
The camera shows Luman's body, and when the Egyptian coach sees the large hole in his heart through the screen, he slumps to the ground weakly, his eyes full of fear.
That's the fear of Horus!
"Big brother!" Yang Guang rushed over: "Did he use the curse?"
"Hmm!" Yang Chen nodded: "I feel that my cultivation is declining." ”
"That'...... What should I do?" Yang Guang was anxious, and Cheng Mingfei and the others also anxiously surrounded him.
Yang Chen waved his hand and said, "I learned about curses on the Internet last night, and curses are also divided into long-term curses and short-term curses. Luman did not use the curse power all at once, it was said to be a short-term curse, and the power of this curse could only last for about five hours. Let's go back, just in time for this cursed time, I'll study it. ”
When they heard this, they were a little relieved and began to walk towards the camp.
Yang Chen began to scan his body carefully with his spiritual power, and there was nothing more in his body, and nothing was missing. But his spiritual power keenly sensed an extra breath.
It was this aura that was influencing Yang Chen's cultivation.
In fact, Yang Chen's meridians have not changed, his dantian has not changed, what has changed is his spiritual power.
Yang Chen's spiritual power was very pure, but at this time, he found that his spiritual power was becoming loose.
"I see!"
Yang Chen somewhat understood in his heart that this weakened curse power was to decompose the spiritual power in the body through a mysterious aura, so that the spiritual power became loose, and then the spiritual power was decomposed into spiritual energy, which overflowed from the martial artist's body, which caused the spiritual power reserves in the dantian to decline, and the natural cultivation also fell.
The cultivation of martial artists is to refine the spiritual energy between heaven and earth through the meridians in the body, the Great Zhou Tian, and collect it in the dantian. And this curse goes the opposite way, decomposing the spiritual power that has been cultivated in the dantian into spiritual energy and dissipating it.
"Is there a solution?"
Yang Chen frowned, he didn't have a way to solve this curse, not even the highest-grade talisman. Yang Chen believed that there must be a talisman inheritance in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, but it should be of a very high grade, and he hadn't learned it yet.
Then there is no way except the talisman?
Yang Chen frowned slightly.
Curse!
Banish the curse!
Dragon will?
Yang Chen raised his eyebrows, with the strength and domineering of the dragon intent, I don't know if he can expel the curse?
Yang Chen could sense that Lu Man's curse was not strong, maybe the dragon intent would be effective against it?
Yang Chen thought of it and did it, communicating with the coiling dragon that contained the dragon's intent and was constructed by the fog silk of spiritual power.
"Ang ......"
Yang Chen's body faintly emitted a dragon groan, and the dragon intent spread from the sea of knowledge, under Yang Chen's control, not a single trace leaked from the body, but wandered around all corners of the body.
The cold, dark aura of curse dissipated quickly like snow meets sunlight.
Sunshine and the others turned their heads to look at Yang Chen, and felt that Yang Chen was walking like a dragon at this time, and every step was like a dragon.
"Hoo ......"
Yang Chen lightly took a breath, and the curse in his body disappeared completely. took back the dragon's intent, and was in high spirits.
"Speed up!"
"Whoosh ......"
A group of ten people rushed towards the front.
Camp.
Li Qutu's coaching staff and team doctor stood in front of the tent with a spring breeze on their faces, looking at the ten figures rushing in the distance. The four substitutes standing behind them had joy and envy on their faces.
At the beginning, they almost lost the first game, but now in the face of a strong opponent, Yang Chen's team won cleanly.
Scouting, planning, deciding, ambushing, raiding, and finally in just a few minutes, the battle ended, killing twenty people on the other side, and there were no casualties on their own side.
Thumped!
"Coach, fortunately, I don't disgrace my life!" said Yang Chen, who stopped in front of Li Qutu.
"Well done!" Li Qutu said with a smile.
"They're too weak. Cheng Ming Feiyun waved lightly.
Li Qutu was happy in his heart, he didn't bother to pay attention to him, and waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go back and celebrate!"
Everyone boarded the transport plane, and the transport plane buzzed and flew into the air.
Huaxia is close to the quarterfinals!
The various websites of Huaxia have unified headlines, and there are countless posts below. The news on TV is scrolling, as well as various special programs, interviews with various martial arts masters, and for a while, the haze of the first game is swept away, and the entire Huaxia is looking forward to the Chinese team of this World Cup.
In the twisting contract, it was a simple celebration banquet, according to Li Qutu's words, it was just a small victory, and then there were eight into four, the championship qualifying round, and the championship match. Moreover, the Huaxia team is bound to collide with strong teams, and it is still far from the real celebration banquet.
Therefore, the banquet was just a relatively sumptuous meal within the Huaxia team, which ended in less than an hour, with each player returning to their own room, while the coaching staff gathered together to analyze the strength and playing style of the other seven teams.
Yang Chen returned to the room, checked the room with his mental power, locked the door, closed the curtains, set up a concealment array, and then sat cross-legged in the concealment array, entered the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, thundered and moved, and began to cultivate step by step.
July 13th.
At less than eight o'clock in the morning, Yang Chen and the others finished breakfast, walked into the conference room with coffee one by one, and watched the lottery.
Yang Chen walked towards the conference room and met the Swedish team head-on.
"Yang!"
"Charlie!"
Charlie walked over to greet Yang Chen, Yang Chen stretched out his hand to Charlie and said, "Congratulations!"
"Tongxi!" Charlie said with admiration in his eyes: "Without you playing well, we would have killed six players, five of us, and only nine of us would have been on the next game." I guess the next game will be our last game. ”
"Anything can happen, maybe you'll win!" the two men walked side by side towards the conference room.
Charlie smiled bitterly and said, "Now out of the eight teams, there are six strong teams. We're going to have a strong team. Yang, I know it in my heart. ”
Yang Chen shrugged his shoulders and said no more. It's all adults, and there's no need to comfort Charlie with the impossible. Charlie is right, their opponent must be a strong team, the difference is only which strong team!
"Yang, do you know? The rules for the lottery are different. ”
"Huh?"
Yang Chen focused on cultivation every day, and he really didn't care about the rules, anyway, the matter of drawing lots was Li Qutu's business, and it had nothing to do with him. At this time, when I heard Charlie say this, I became curious:
"What's the difference?"
Everyone walked into the conference room and sat down in chairs, and Charlie continued: "The first round of the draw is to draw opponents, and this one, as before, is drawn by the host.
The second round of the draw is the venue of the competition, and the two sides of the opponent who draw it will discuss who will draw. If one side chooses to draw the venue, the other side has the right to fix the time of the match. ”
"Well, didn't this tournament start at the same time?"
"Same day, but not the same time. ”
Yang Chen touched his chin, and then smiled: "Interesting!"
This is the third time they have watched the draw, Yang Chen and they are not so excited, and Charlie and they know that they will definitely meet a strong team, so they are even less excited. Everyone watched the whole draw very plainly.
The opponent of the Swedish team is indeed a strong team, the Tsarist team, one of the seven strong teams.
The opponent of the Chinese team is naturally one of the seven strong teams, the French team.
After that, there is a half-time break, where the eight teams are given time to decide who will pick the field and who will determine the time.
At this time, in the conference rooms of each team, as well as the audience watching the lottery online, they were also fiercely discussing which team would choose the venue and which team would choose to determine the time.
"Big brother, will Coach Li choose to draw the venue, or determine the time?"
"Coach Lee is expected to choose a definite time, and France must also choose a definite time. Yang Chen said without thinking, because he had dealt with Gu Lun and Gu Si a lot, and knew the specialty of the vampire family.
"Why?" Yang Guang was puzzled, and the others also looked over.
"Because there is a member of the vampire family in the French team, and the people of the vampire family must want the time of the game to be chosen at night. ”
Everyone still knows a little bit about the vampire family, and they can't help but be surprised when they hear it.
"That'...... Coach Lee won't agree, right?"
"Yes, I definitely won't agree, it's going to be a draw of lots between the two sides. ”
Sure enough, not only the Huaxia team and the French team, but also the other teams were also difficult to agree, so another round of draws was held to determine which team chose the venue and which team determined the time. Li Qutu's bad luck may have been manipulated in the dark again, and in the end it was Li Qutu who drew the venue, and France determined the time.
The venue for the game was an abandoned city, and France set the time at midnight.
Until the afternoon meeting, Li Qutu's face was not very good-looking. The vampire family has a very special hearing, with some bat characteristics. And although the warrior doesn't care much about the night anymore, even at night, his vision is not much worse than during the day. However, if it is not much worse than during the day, it means that it is still a little worse. The master competition, just a little bit worse, is a fatal thing.
From this point of view, it is not conducive to the Huaxia team. The competition venue extracted by Li Qutu is an abandoned city, with vertical and horizontal alleys, high-rise buildings and low objects, and very complex terrain. It is an excellent place for ambushes and guerrillas, such a place is naturally very beneficial to vampires, so this is another place that is not good for Huaxia.
Predictably, this is not a game that can be finished in a short period of time.
And the abandoned city is full of beasts, fierce beasts and spirit beasts. The last one was in the desert, and it was the battle that ended too quickly, and there were no encounters with spirit beasts. And since this game is not a battle that can end in a short time, it is bound to encounter spirit beasts, and the difficulty has increased.
"Let me first introduce the players and strength of France......
Li Qutu began to introduce the strength of France's 20 players, France is worthy of being a strong country with a king, and its comprehensive strength is basically the same as that of the Chinese team. Not to mention the substitutions, just to say the ten main forces, three samurai fourth layer, six samurai fifth layer, one vampire family disciple, and the second layer of the great samurai.
The top combat power Webers, the second layer of the Great Samurai, is one level higher than Yang Chen, and from the mysterious vampire family, Yang Chen can't say that he will definitely beat the other party.
He was able to kill Luman, a disciple of Pharaoh Horus, but don't forget that Luman was only the thirty-second in strength among the thirty-six disciples of Horus. And this Webers, who is said to be among the younger generation of the vampire family, is very strong, ranking tenth.
Lu Man's curse gave Yang Chen a deep impression, among the young generation of the vampire family, the strength of Webes, who ranked tenth, must be above Lu Man.
"This is a good opponent!" Yang Chen raised his eyebrows.
The other team members, Yang Guang, Duan Chang, and Lang Tianya of the Huaxia team, are the fifth layer of samurai, and the other six people are all fourth layer of samurai. Therefore, on the whole, the strength of the Chinese team is weaker than that of the French team. At the very least, the strength on the surface is weaker than the other party.
"The other party is a normal ratio, in addition to Webes, there is also a spiritual power cultivator, an archer, two attribute cultivators, and two big shield holders. ”
Li Qu suddenly looked at Yang Chen: "Yang Chen, your previous basic tactics are not suitable for this game. The terrain of the abandoned city is complicated, and if you want to attack from a long distance first, and then at a medium distance, it may not be easy to see at this level. It is likely that once the other party is spotted, it will be a close collision. ”
"Hmm!" Yang Chen nodded and said, "Coach, what are you going to arrange?"
"You, Yang Guang, Leng Feng, Cheng Mingfei, and Shen Qingqing are five archers. Duan Chang is very suitable for this site, so she chooses freely, Shi Lei has the attribute of earth, and this site is also easy to hide in the abandoned city, so she also chooses freely.
Duan Chang and Shi Lei entered the arena with the main purpose of hiding.
Xiao Changsheng, Gu Tai and Lang Tianya went down. ”
"Understood!" Yang Chen nodded.
"Let's discuss it in detail. ”
On the 14th of July, riding in an armored car, the situation lasted eight hours and arrived at an abandoned town. The two teams split up and headed to the opposite ends of the town.
Huaxia is in the east of the city, and France is in the west of the city.
Two buildings on the eastern and western edges of the city have been converted into live broadcast studios, protected by the military. The Chinese team and the French team each rested in the rooms on the first floor of the two buildings, waiting for midnight.
The contest will start at 0:00 on July 15.
The discussion on the Internet has started since the end of the draw, and the discussion was very intense at first, but slowly there was a tendency, and sixty percent of the audience was not optimistic about the Chinese team. And among these sixty percent of the audience, there are still a lot of Chinese people.
It's not that the Chinese people don't support the Huaxia team, but after the technical emperor came out with a wave of analysis, regardless of the top strength of Yang Chen and Webers, or the comprehensive strength, the Huaxia team is completely behind. Reason makes them have to look down on the Huaxia team. And the forty percent of the audience who support the Huaxia team, in addition to being Chinese themselves, inevitably have tendencies, is also a kind of expectation and trust in Yang Chen. After all, from the beginning of the World Preliminaries to the present, Yang Chen has participated in the competition, and he has never lost.
