Lin Lan also had a complicated mood. She didn't look good when the study committee member left. Was she angry because she refused to train with him?
In fact, Lin Lan also has her own considerations. She will use the Medal of Majesty in the next few games and must recharge her batteries.
Of course you need to take a good rest on the off-season.
After a day's rest, Lin Lan returned to school again. She felt energized. Many people recognized her when she walked on campus.
"That's Lin Lan, a first-year high school student who won both games and advanced to the group stage."
"It's nothing special, there are other first-year students who advanced to the group stage."
"But she defeated her senior high school seniors to advance, and her results in the trial are very valuable."
"No wonder Lin Nuanxi likes her so much. I thought it was some kind of sisterly love."
…
The group stage is divided into four groups ABCD, with 8 people in each group. The competition format is a single round-robin, and the top two players in each group advance to the quarterfinals. In other words, Lin Lan has to play against the people in his group one by one and win by points.
When people in the same group met for the first time, Lin Lan and Wei Linlin were speechless at the same time. They were actually in the same group.
As Lin Lan's loyal fan, Zhang Yaning naturally came over to cheer her up and serve her tea.
"What's the matter with you? You keep fighting with your class? Last time you 'killed' the class monitor, and this time you're going to 'kill' the study committee member. I think you should be nicknamed Class Killer..." Zhang Yaning complained.
An unhappy voice came from behind:
"Yaning, I haven't been 'killed' yet." Wei Linlin said.
Zhang Yaning turned around awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I didn't say you will definitely lose to Lin Lan, I was just joking, maybe..."
"I will not show mercy." Wei Linlin did not wait for Zhang Yaning to continue, but stared at Lin Lan with burning eyes.
Lin Lan smiled slightly, "Of course."
"Did I offend her?" Zhang Yaning stared at Wei Linlin's leaving figure and asked uncertainly.
"What do you think?" Lin Lan almost wanted to hit her on the head.
"Meow!"
"First!"
The two looked back and saw that the golden-eared cat and the flying armored beast were actually grabbing a bag of pet jelly.
"Golden-eared cat, let go, this is not your favorite snack."
But the golden-eared cat had a firm attitude and raised its paws. It seemed that if the flying armored beast didn't let go, it would definitely give it a set of phantom shots.
"A!" The flying armored beast let go of its forelimbs in grievance, staring at the golden-eared cat with its big eyes.
That way seems to say, let me see how you eat.
The golden-eared cat licked the straw, and the strong fruity smell made it sneeze in disgust, and pushed the jelly to the flying armored beast.
The flying armored beast happily took it and started sucking it.
"Hey!" Lin Lan and Zhang Yaning sighed at the same time.
childish!
Lin Lan picked up the golden-eared cat and was about to teach it a few words when he looked up and saw Lin Yaoguang.
Lin Yaoguang was also looking at her, and after confirming his eyes, he walked straight towards her.
"Hello, my subordinate is defeated." Lin Lan knew that a middle school boy like Lin Yaoguang liked to talk dirty when they met, so he decided to strike preemptively.
Lin Yaoguang:......
His passionate speech was blocked immediately. Of course, the middle school boy would not be defeated easily.
"Lin Lan, I lost to you last time because I was careless and underestimated the enemy. Don't think how strong you are. This time I am assigned to a group. I will not show mercy."
Zhang Yaning approached Lin Lan and asked quietly: "Is this your brother?"
"Well, isn't it very childish?" Lin Lan also replied quietly.
Lin Yaoguang was angry: "What are you two whispering about? You have the ability to say it to your face!"
"Why isn't your brother handsome? You and Lin Nuanxi are both very good-looking. Is he really a member of your Lin family?" Zhang Yaning raised her voice calmly.
"There's a genetic trait that picks on parents' shortcomings. Who's to blame!" Lin Lan also raised her voice.
Lin Yaoguang:......
"You guys talk first, I have to leave first." When Lin Yaoguang left, his face was full of doubts about himself.
***
After seeing other opponents in the same group, Lin Lan confirmed that he was in the rookie group.
I don’t know if the school is deliberately trying to make the competition more interesting. The third group of ABC is mainly made up of sophomores and seniors, and the fight is fierce. Group D, except for Lin Yaoguang and sophomore Yao Bin, is all composed of first-year students.
Except for Lin Lan, everyone else is a top student.
Lin Lan suspected that the school put her in this group because they wanted her to be cannon fodder. Of course, being in the first three groups, she had a greater chance of being cannon fodder.
The overall level of the group stage was a little higher, so it was moved to the indoor arena.
The indoor arena is a large space, divided into four venues, separated by glass curtain walls, and can usually hold four games at the same time.
However, for the sake of the audience’s viewing experience, only two group matches will be held at the same time this time.
The first game was between Lin Lan and Wei Linlin.
Also competing were Lin Yaoguang and sophomore Yao Bin.
Yao Bin is also a popular player in this competition, second only to Jiang Hanxing in popularity. Therefore, most of the audience concentrated on Yao Bin's venue.
The venue on Lin Lan's side seems to be less popular, but there is Zhang Yaning on Lin Lan's side, and Zhang Yaning alone is like a thousand troops.
In the end, the referee felt that she was a bit noisy and stretched out his hand to signal her to keep her voice down.
Lin Lan covered her face in embarrassment.
"Are you ready?" Wei Linlin suddenly asked.
Lin Lan nodded, "Ready."
There was another commotion in the audience. She subconsciously raised her head and saw Zhao Yue and Lin Nuanxi sitting down at the VIP table accompanied by an old woman.
Oh, there is Lin Yaoguang next door, and the Lin family should be here to see him.
Lin Lan withdrew his gaze and focused on the game.
"Mom, Yaoguang broke the school record by entering the group stage this time. He is the first junior high school student to enter the group stage." Zhao Yue said.
Old Mrs. Lin nodded indifferently. As a B-level beast master, she held an important position in the Beijing Pet Police Department when she was young. After retirement, she still retained the neat style of a soldier and had a strong aura.
"Keep a normal mind, he can't make it to the quarterfinals," Lin Nuanxi said.
"Nuan Xi!" Zhao Yue turned around and looked at her daughter reproachfully.
She doesn't think her son can make it to the quarterfinals, but it hurts morale to say this.
Old Mrs. Lin didn't pay attention to the argument between the mother and her daughter, and cast her eyes towards the field opposite, "Is that Lin Lan?"
Zhao Yue hesitated and said, "Yes, yes."
Mrs. Lin didn't say anything, she looked away and focused on watching her grandson's game.
Three minutes later, the flying sickle mantis fell heavily to the ground and could not get up.
Lin Yaoguang stared in disbelief.
Lost? Lost in less than three minutes? Didn’t get a single point.
The group stage is divided into time periods, with different confrontation times and different points.
Disappointment flashed in Mrs. Lin's eyes.
It wasn't that she had unrealistic illusions about Lin Yaoguang. In fact, when the game started, she knew that Lin Yaoguang couldn't win.
So what she looks at is not the result, but the process.
Lin Yaoguang acted recklessly and impulsively throughout the game, and his on-the-spot command was extremely poor!
Awakening the talent of beast control early does not mean anything. Throughout the history of beast control, injuries abound.
"Okay, well done." Cheers suddenly erupted from the opposite field.
