"Bet on what?" asked Friday.

"If Ding Kui makes it to the top 10 in the state competition, you give me 10 gold coins, and if he doesn't make it to the top 10, I give you 10 gold coins. Zheng Liu looked at Friday defiantly.

"Cheng, ten gold coins are ten gold coins, I bet on this!" It may be that Zheng Liu's eyes angered Friday, and Friday readily agreed to Zheng Liu.

There are many people like Friday and Zheng Liu who disagree on the prediction of the game, and there are slightly fewer who are optimistic that Yang Ling can make it to the top ten.

"The patriarch hopes to see the two children of the Yang family participate in the national competition next year, and the clan can pass the word back, which can be regarded as an order from the patriarch. It's important whether you can beat those two guys, at least finish second in the group and reserve the right to challenge for the top 10. Yang Zhan said to Yang Ling.

Yang Ling stared at Ding Kui and said disdainfully, "The person who has only been promoted to the Blade Knight this year can't be a threat to me at all. ”

"Don't be too careless, his no-trick swordsmanship has been mastered, it's not so easy to deal with, and you must go all out to ensure victory. Yang Zhan reminded Yang Ling.

"Brother Yue, I've thought about it carefully, when you are an elder brother, you should take care of your younger brother, you can participate in the competition as a seeded player, and the two seeded players in the 'White Eight' group will be handed over to me to deal with. Xun Le reached out and put his arm around Xun Yue's shoulder.

Xun Yue grabbed Xun Le's hand, pulled it away from his shoulder, and said with a sneer: "Brother Le, if you are stronger, you should have a greater responsibility, and I will deal with the two seeded players." The responsibility of the Xun family to enter the national competition will be handed over to you, good luck!"

Looking at Xun Yue, who was leaving with his head held high, Xun Le's face was full of frustration.

Jiang Yu blinked at Jiang Cao and asked, "Neither of us is in a group with Uncle Cousin, how can we help him clear the obstacles and enter the national competition?"

"Well, you first defeat Simonzer to win the first place in the 'White Nine' group, and then let your little cousin challenge you in the challenge match, and then you lose to him, so that he can secure a place in the national competition. Jiang Cao felt a little sorry for his cousin when he said this.

"The problem is that Uncle Xiao is in a group with Xun Le and Yang Ling, and I'm not sure that I will be able to defeat those two, what if he doesn't even finish second in the group?" Jiang Yu was worried, she could give up her national competition quota for the sake of her family, but she was worried that Ding Kui would not have a chance to fight against her.

"This, the little cousin can win the first place in Pingzhong County, and the patriarch's sword is also in his hand, so it should be no problem to score in the top two in the group stage. If he can't do that, then it's no wonder we didn't help him. Jiang Cao spread his hands.

Lei Wei turned his head and asked Lu Ji, who was sitting at the very edge of the rostrum: "Baron Lu Ji, listening to other people's discussions, it seems that Ding Shi's nephew's grouping situation is not good." ”

"My apprentice, I know that the group stage is difficult for him. Lord Lei City, what you need to consider is whether to go to the capital by teleportation array, it will take a long time to get from Black Earth City to Zhenjing. Rukey's expression was very relaxed.

"Hahaha, Black Earth City is not rich, and it's okay to take a teleportation array. The ancestors of the Lei family have not been to the capital to watch the national competition, if Ding Kui wants to represent the Black Earth City in the national competition, there is no need to think about it at all, I have you and Ling Qianjin. A trace of worry in Lei Wei's heart completely disappeared.

In the history of the Knight Competition, no one in Black Earth City has ever entered the national competition, and if Ding Kui can do this, the Lei family will have the opportunity to show his face in front of the national nobles. The small amount of money from walking the teleportation array is not in Lei Wei's eyes, and he will be willing to pay a more expensive price in exchange for this opportunity.

Ding Kui patted Ji Xing's shoulder and said, "It's a pity, if you still have a chance against Shang Ganzong." ”

Ji Xing was assigned to the "White Seven" group, and Gongsun Qi was recognized as the strongest in the group.

Among the ten groups, everyone thought that Gan Zong of the "White Six" group was the weakest seeded player.

"The top 10 seeded players may be the only one I can fight, even if I get into that group and win the first place in the group, I will still be challenged by the stronger group second, and there is no hope for the top 10.

Your luck is not very good, the recognized 'group of death', Xun Le and Yang Ling both have the strength of the top ten, except for the 'white three' which group you are divided into, they are all ironclad top two. Ji Xing recognized the situation clearly and didn't feel sorry for himself.

"Don't worry about Ding Kui, I believe he will definitely be the first in the group, and there is no problem in reaching the top 10 in the state competition. The most regrettable thing is that I can be divided into the 'White Six' group, but I don't have the strength to defeat Gan Zong. Shanyou said self-deprecatingly.

"I agree with Shanyou's words, in fact, our county is very lucky, none of them are divided into the three favorite groups, and it is said that those three people are really strong. Xu Yan rarely sided with Shanyou, and this time he supported Shanyou.

"Hehe, in order to live up to your support, I have decided to be the first in this group. Ding Kui clenched his fist and gestured in front of his chest.

The official competition starts on October 6, and the contestants are only given half a day to adjust, and the schedule and rest time disrupted by the drill will be adjusted to participate in the competition in the best condition.

The cavalry division canceled the 20 areas of the exercise and arranged for all the athletes to live in the barracks prepared for the city defense, so that they could experience life in the army in advance.

This barracks was built according to the standards of a division, and the cavalry division still arranged a room for each athlete, and did not let them sleep in the Chase bunks.

After all, it is necessary to practice the Dou Qi Gong method during the competition, and it is very inconvenient to mix the players together, and a small team barracks is enough for the players to perform the Dou Qi Gong method in it.

In the past few days, Ding Kui has been sleeping during the day and keeping vigil at night, and last night he had consumed a lot of mental energy, and he was going to take a bath and hurry up for sleep, when an uninvited guest sneaked into his barracks.

"How should I address Your Excellency?" Ding Kui looked at the visitor with a headache.

"Hehe, I'm Xun Le, don't ask how to tell the difference between me and my brother, even our parents can't do this thing, and I don't know how to tell you. After Xun Le slipped in, he found a bed and sat down.

"Well, anyway, I don't know you two brothers, it doesn't matter which one you are, I only need to face one in the group stage. By the way, is Xun Yue a little stronger or are you a little stronger? I'm very interested in this question. ”

"How do you say that? The answer to ask me is, of course, that I am stronger, and the answer to ask Brother Yue will definitely say that he is stronger, but in fact, it makes no difference to you. ”

"That's fine, I don't need to worry about you going to deal with me with someone stronger. ”

"Oh, you're worried about us, so you don't have the confidence to win against the stronger one of us?" Xun Le leaned forward and stared at Ding Kui's eyes.

"People, you don't want to suffer a loss, and you always have to spend more energy to deal with the stronger one. ”

didn't see anything unusual about Ding Kui, the disappointed Xun Le sat up straight again, and said deliberately vaguely: "I know your intentions, but I tell you, if you really do this, you will suffer in the end." ”

Why? I don't have any plans, how can he know my plans? It is said that the Xun family has many hearts, which is also a bit too much. This kid isn't going to try to get something out of me, is he?

Ding Kui looked at Xun Le carefully from head to toe, and couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he simply pushed the boat down the river and said, "Yes? Why is it me who suffers in the end? How can you be sure that your idea is right?"

"Hahaha, sure enough, I tried it out. Xun Le shouted excitedly, "In the last few rounds of the group stage, you will face Yang Ling one round earlier than me, if you deliberately lose to him, you will be able to wait for work in the last round, and go all out to fight against me who has fought with Yang Ling."

The final situation is likely to be that you win me, I win Yang Ling, Yang Ling wins you, and so on, and the three of us have the same group points. According to the rules of the state competition, three tied for first place will appear, but we can be challenged twice. ”

It seems that he really wants to qualify from the group and finally enter the national competition, otherwise he would not have spent so much effort to calculate.

Ding Kui smiled and said, "Hahaha, a good proposal, I didn't expect it originally, and I have to thank you for reminding me." ”

Hearing Ding Kui say this, Xun Le's face turned green, and he said angrily: "Didn't I say it, it's you who will suffer in the end." ”

"How so?"

"Hmph, if I also deliberately lose to Yang Ling and stay in the last game with you, then you will face the situation of losing two games, and I will lose one at most, and it is no problem to keep the right to challenge for the second place in the group. ”

"You think you're sure you'll win me, but what if you lose to me? Anyway, the final showdown will be between me and you, and you and I will speak with strength when the time comes. ”

Xun Le was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Eh, don't worry, in fact, I have a better plan, which is beneficial to both of us." ”

"Alright then, I'll hear you. ”

"When you face Yang Ling, you don't need to stay strong, try your best to defeat him, and then he has a chance to face me after a vicious fight, then I will be completely sure to win him. In this way, he loses to you and loses to me, and in the last game, you and I can fight as much as you want.

In case you lose with him with all your might, I defeat him, and I deliberately lose to you in the last game, there will still be three tied for the first place in the group, so you fight Yang Ling with all your might, no matter whether you win or lose, you will definitely keep the possibility of entering the top ten, which will benefit you and do no harm. ”

"Hahaha, what if you don't deliberately lose to me? This plan is the one who will definitely keep the possibility of finishing in the top ten, and I still have the risk of being eliminated after the group stage. Ding Kui is not stupid, he saw through Xun Le's intentions at a glance.

"I can swear or make a contract with you, guaranteeing that if you lose to Yang Ling, I will deliberately lose to you in the last game. "Xun Le is mentally prepared.
