Although I sometimes dislike this guy, I have to admit that he is qualified to say this in terms of strength.
Although Qiao Sang from Shengshui Middle School was so talented that it was disappointing, he was still two years behind.
In competitions between beastmasters of the same level, those who are older are often more powerful.
After all, age is not in vain.
Li Zonglin couldn't bear to be quiet. Seeing that the two of them were silent, he said, "Fu Xiaodan and the others are coming to Kainan City for a competition in two days. Do you want to go and have a look then?"
Fu Xiaodan is also a member of the senior team of Li Tan Beast Control High School, but she participated in the individual beast control coordination competition.
In order to highlight the magnificence of skills, coordination competitions are basically held at night, which does not conflict with the time of individual beast control competitions.
"I won't go." Wang Rui refused.
Are you kidding me? This is the critical moment of the competition. I have to recharge my batteries every day to prepare for tomorrow's competition. How can I have time to watch some animal control and coordination competitions?
If you have this time, you might as well prepare a few more tactical plans.
"Brother Ding, you always go, right?" Li Zonglin said to Ding Yanjing in a teasing tone.
It is said that high school students should not fall in love early, as it will affect their studies. Even though they say this, there are not many people who talk about it secretly.
Ding Yanjing is one of them.
As a popular figure on campus, the teachers knew more or less about him and Fu Xiaodan, but at that time both of them had achieved very good results in the province.
, the teachers just turned a blind eye.
Ding Yanjing picked up the phone again and said, "I'm not going."
Li Zonglin was surprised when he heard this and said: "Wang Rui, a single guy, doesn't want to go. Why don't you go?"
Wang Rui: "???"
Ding Yanjing replied without raising his head:
"Girlfriends are not as important as competitions. Ruan Yunwen from Wucai Middle School is no longer the same as before. She is my obstacle in this knockout round. Without an absolute guarantee of victory, I will not go out and waste time at this juncture."
Li Zonglin was immediately in awe.
Wang Rui looked at Ding Yanjing with a complicated expression.
Yes, he almost forgot that Ding Yanjing's current strength is definitely not as simple as talent alone.
In the past, when he first joined the school team as a freshman in high school, he trained harder than anyone else. However, later on, he lost his opponent in the same class, which made him gradually change, and he almost forgot what Ding Yanjing was like at the beginning.
At this time, the phone rang.
Ding Yanjing looked at the caller, answered the call, and his tone changed:
"Hey, of course I was thinking of you just now."
"Is it coming the day after tomorrow? What time will it be played tonight?"
"Time? Of course I have time."
"I promise to cheer you up when the time comes. I've already thought up a cheering slogan."
"I just asked Li Zonglin if they wanted to go."
"You also know the virtues of Wang Rui. He is not interested in coordinating competitions. Li Zonglin will come with me."
Li Zonglin: "..."
Wang Rui: "..."
…
The next day.
Kainan pet beast is outside the battlefield.
Many reporters are reporting.
"It's the annual National Campus Beast Taming League again. Behind me is the Kainan Beast Battle Arena where the knockout rounds will be held today. I believe many people know something about this competition." A delicate-looking female reporter smiled.
He said to the camera:
"The competition has reached this stage, and the remaining contestants are also the top talents among the senior high school students in Zhehai Province."
“This year’s provincial competition can be said to have not been dominated by the Litan Royal Beast High School family like previous years.”
"Ruan Yunwen from Wucai Middle School, Xu Yixuan from Shengshui Middle School, Liao Chaonan from Shengding Yushou High School, and Qiao Sang, a student from Shengshui who came to compete in the third grade of high school at the age of 15, all performed amazingly in the preliminaries and group stages of this session.
Performance."
"As the No. 1 high school in our province, Litan Yushou High School performed stably. Three players, Ding Yanjing, Wang Rui and Li Zonglin, all entered the knockout rounds."
"So who will stand out and represent our Zhehai Province in the divisional competition! Let us turn the camera to the court!"
At the same time, high in the sky in the Kainan Pet Battle Battlefield, a fat house dove wearing headphones and carrying a camera immediately pointed the camera downwards.
…
Player area.
Students wearing uniforms from various majors gathered together.
"Which school is that one in brown uniform from? They actually have cheerleaders here? Isn't it Wednesday today? Don't you have to go to class?" A boy with round hair looked at a certain place in the audience with an envious tone.
said.
"He's from Souchong Beast High School." The person next to him glanced at a group of people wearing brown school uniforms and replied:
"No one from their school made it to the knockout rounds in the previous two seasons. It's rare that someone did this time. They were probably too excited."
Now the boy with round hair was no longer jealous, he laughed out loud:
"Laughing so hard, this is so much more embarrassing than the whole day trip."
This time the person next to me stared at the front left position and didn't say anything.
The boy looked in the direction and said excitedly: "Qiao Sang, this time I saw her alive. She is much prettier than in the photo. I want to take a photo with her and Bingluqia later, but I don't think so."
I don’t know if she agrees or not.”
The person next to me was silent for a moment and said, "We'll get together then. I'd like to take a photo with Yan Ling Dog."
…
As a star player who has suddenly emerged, many people are watching the news here.
Qiao Sang looked around and sighed: "This battle is a bit big."
I saw that the entire Kainan Pet Battle Arena auditorium was full of people. There were more than a dozen cameras visible to the naked eye in mid-air and around the venue. There was also a commentator sitting in the commentary box on the high platform, looking at what he could do on TV.
Like a big game.
"It's already the knockout rounds, how can the battle not be big?" Xu Yixuan has experienced two National Campus Beast Taming Leagues and is mentally prepared for this scene. She explained:
"In the knockout stage, most of the famous schools in the province will come. In addition to friends and family, most of the people who come here to watch the game are parents who have junior high school students at home."
"These parents all come here from other places to investigate in advance which school is more suitable for their children."
Qiao Sang understood.
Most of the parents who can still make choices in prestigious schools have good grades for their children and good financial status of their families.
Even if your household registration is not in the location of your favorite school, it is not a big deal to buy a house in another city and settle down for the sake of your children.
No wonder the principal and Teacher Sun were dressed like dogs this time. Part of their relationship was because of this.
At this time, a man sitting in the first row stood up and came to the field. On his shoulder stood a small bat-like beast.
The man spoke:
"The match list for the first round of the knockout round has been matched. Please look at the big screen."
This man did not hold the microphone, but his voice was extremely loud at this moment, so that the whole audience heard his words.
Qiao Sang put his eyes on the bat-like pet beast on the man's shoulder, and the information about this pet beast came to his mind.
The Amplified Flying Squirrel has the characteristic of amplifying sound. Depending on the level of the characteristic, it can amplify the sound of itself and its surroundings to the corresponding volume. If it cooperates well with the pet beast, it can also adjust the volume at any time according to its own requirements.
There will be no popping behavior like the microphone, which is very popular among musicians.
At the same time, four huge virtual screens appeared in mid-air in the stadium, facing the audience and the player seats.
The names and photos of the contestants' battle list are slowly moving upwards.
Qiao Sang's eyes turned upward and he read line by line.
[Kainan No. 3 Royal Beast Middle School, Li Lizhen VS Jiangyang No. 1 Middle School, Liang Yuan]
[Guangde Middle School, Chen Ying VS Hanwen Royal Beast No. 9 Middle School, He Hao]
[Li Tan Yuju High School, Ding Yanjing VS Shengding Yuju High School, Wu Lu]
[Shengshui Middle School, Xu Yixuan VS Double Entrepreneurship International Middle School, Chen Libo]
[Shidu Yushou High School, Wang Shiqian VS Lianyu Yushou High School, Huang Kaijun]
【……】
[Shengshui Middle School, Qiao Sang VS Wucai Middle School, Ruan Yunwen]
Wu Cai Middle School, Ruan Yunwen... hmm? Ruan Yunwen?
Qiao Sang was stunned. Is it so exciting?
The only person in the game who owns a high-level pet beast, he met him in the first game?
"Chen Libo..." Xu Yixuan saw the name of the person fighting against her and thought:
"I know this person. His strength is considered to be in the second echelon. His fighting style is more stable. It seems that there should be no problem in my first game."
After saying that, she turned around and asked, "Who are you competing with?"
He Datao said with a dark face: "Zhou Jing from Pinghai High School."
Xu Yixuan, who had lost to Zhou Jing once in the qualifying round, looked at He Datao in surprise:
"Why are you so unlucky?"
Who says it's not the case... He Datao really felt a little uncomfortable.
At this time, Qiao Sang said: "What are you afraid of? If you lose once, it doesn't mean you will lose a second time."
He Datao was stunned for a moment and said firmly: "You are right! There will be no second time!"
After saying that, he looked at Qiao Sang in a happy mood and asked, "Who are you competing with?"
"Ruan Yunwen." Qiao Sang said.
"who?!"
"Ruan Yunwen from Wucai Middle School?!"
He Datao and Xu Yixuan were stunned at the same time.
Qiao Sang had a "fussing" expression on his face: "Why are you so excited?"
He Datao lowered his voice and said: "This year Ruan Yunwen has a very high reputation as the number one in the province. Her Tong Hua Xiao has been evolving for some years. In the past, Tong Hua Xiao was unwilling to listen to her. This year is different. Your Yan Ling Dog has only evolved recently.
, I’m a little worried.”
"You should still worry about Ruan Yunwen!" Xu Yixuan said excitedly:
"I didn't expect to see such an exciting competition on the first day! Having said that, Ruan Yunwen was quite unlucky. She finally got the skater to listen to her this year. As a result, she met Qiao Sang in the first knockout match.
It seems that she is destined to miss the top few."
I just heard that my opponent is Zhou Jing. Your reaction is not like this... He Datao looked at Xu Yixuan expressionlessly.
Soon, the first group members arrived on the field.
Those who can advance to the knockout round are all very capable, so naturally the winner will not be determined immediately.
In addition, the match list for the knockout round is randomly assigned on the day, and naturally there will be no tactical arrangements based on designated people in advance like in the qualifiers and group matches.
So much so that one game lasted more than ten minutes.
Are these two people too weak? They have already entered the knockout rounds... Qiao Sang frowned secretly.
But the next second she realized that it wasn't that they were weak, but that during the group stage she only compared the opponent's strength with Lubao.
Now that she has taken into account the strengths of Yabao and Xiaoxunbao in the knockout round, there is naturally a difference.
Time flies quickly.
During this period, Xu Yixuan won easily, while He Datao lost one game first, and then sent the Melting Orangutan to win the game with a two-for-one result.
After He Datao came off the stage, he never let go of his mouth.
At this moment, he was grinning and commenting to the players who had just come off the field:
"That person just now is not good. If it were me, I would have let Li Shou Ya rush forward directly. He can't lose anything but his momentum. How can he be timid just because his attributes are restrained?"
At this moment, the man with the flying squirrel standing on his shoulder said loudly:
"Qiao Sang from Shengshui Middle School and Ruan Yunwen from Wucai Middle School, enter!"
At this moment, there was no big reaction from the audience, but the contestants' seats were already boiling.
When the match list for the game comes out, the first thing everyone pays attention to is the opponent they are playing against. Only when they have extra time will they pay attention to their teammates or opponents they are interested in.
Since the list moves upward when it is announced, everyone basically sees their own name and can’t wait to look up their opponent’s information.
As for who others are comparing themselves to, I don’t pay any particular attention.
They never expected that on the first day of the knockout round, Qiao Sang would actually face Ruan Yunwen!
"Oh my God, how could these two people bump into each other on the first day?!"
"I was almost tired from watching it, but why am I suddenly energetic now?"
"Oh my god! I still wanted to hook up with Qiao Sang during this time. Now after this competition, does she have to go back to school overnight?!"
"Don't panic, don't panic, think about Qiao Sang's pet beast. If you criticize a lot, you will not necessarily lose."
"If it were Ruan Yunwen last year, I certainly know that Qiao Sang would not necessarily lose, but this year's Ruan Yunwen is different. She is already fully capable of commanding the skater."
The area where Li Tan Yuju High School players are located.
"Tsk, thanks to the principal, I kept telling me to hide the evolution of Tanweihua, saying it was for the potential award. Now it seems there is no need to hide it." Ding Yanjing said with a smile.
"I don't understand how those people at Shengshui Middle School allowed Qiao Sang to participate in the senior high school competition." Li Zonglin said in confusion:
"With her ability, not to mention participating in the first-grade competition, even if she participates in the second-grade competition, she can easily save us from the divisional competition."
"Don't mention it, I rarely think the same way as you." Ding Yanjing agreed.
Wang Rui on the side looked at the field with a serious expression.
He wanted to see if he had any hope of winning if he met these two people.
Some things can only be judged after seeing them with your own eyes.
…
The first row of the auditorium, leadership area.
Huang Renbiao, the principal of Li Tan Yushou High School, said slowly: "Principal Wang, I also want to know the strength of classmate Qiao Sang, but it seems that there is no such opportunity."
"Haha." Wang Weidou smiled and said nothing.
Huang Renbiao raised his eyebrows, what does this guy mean?
"Does Principal Wang think Qiao Sang has a chance to win?" Huang Renbiao asked tentatively.
Wang Wei grinned: "She should be more promising than Ding Yanjing from your school."
Haha... Huang Renbiao stopped talking.
The principal of Wucai Middle School on the side wanted to interrupt, but after thinking about the schools these two people represented, he held back.
Forget it, I can’t afford to offend...
…
Qiao Sang stood up and walked towards the venue.
At the same time, she saw a girl about six meters away from her on the player bench also getting up and walking towards the field.
The audience cheered symbolically.
By now in the competition, everyone is already exhausted.
Some people just want to watch their children compete, and no one knows the rest of the players. Reading the names of the players is not as effective as reading the names of the schools.
Others come just for the school.
Although one of the players playing now is from Shengshui Middle School, they have all watched the games of other players from Shengshui Middle School, and their enthusiasm is not as strong as before.
At this time, the commentator in the commentary box who only read the introduction of the players and did not provide real-time commentary said:
"Ruan Yunwen, from Wucai Middle School, is the only player in our senior high school in Zhehai Province who has a high-level pet! And another young player, Qiao Sang, from Shengshui Middle School, has three intermediate animals at the age of 15.
Pet beast! She even competed on the same stage with seniors who were two years older than her, and got to where she is now with a record of winning the qualifiers and group stage!"
"I believe this will be a very exciting game!"
The auditorium fell silent for a moment, then became noisy.
"What did he just say? Advanced pet beast?!"
"I know this. I came to see my son during the first two competitions. I was scared to death at the time. Later, when I learned more about it, I realized that the pet beast was left to her by the child's father."
"So that's it...what about her father?"
"Gone."
"Um, what is her high-level pet?"
"It looks like a slippery owl."
"By the way, what did he say just now? 15 years old? Three intermediate pet beasts? Real or fake?"
"It should be true. There are so many people watching, including reporters..."
"Let me go, what is the concept of three intermediate pet beasts at the age of 15?"
"Hiss... If you are 15 years old, aren't you just in your first year of high school? There is such a perverted child in our Zhehai Province! What's her name?"
"Qiao Sang, her name is Qiao Sang."
…
On the field.
Qiao Sang and Ruan Yunwen looked at each other from a distance.
The mechanical pet wearing a referee's badge whistled.
The green star array and gray star array light up at the same time.
Two pet beasts with huge size differences appeared in front of the audience.
