Two days passed quickly, but the number of people in this trial was much smaller than in previous championships.
But this is also expected. After all, you must know that people like Longxing are not eligible to enter the trials. The prerequisite for the trials is to obtain a certain ranking in the previous championship.
Of course, in order to avoid some really strong players who have not participated in tournaments before, there are exceptions.
For example, if someone feels that they are strong enough, they can apply to the alliance, but so far - it seems that no one has gotten a spot through this method.
Although I don’t know why Zhang Shouqing lost that competition, he still made it to the quarterfinals.
The top eight players must have this qualification.
In fact, there are only a dozen contestants in this selection, and basically all of them are familiar to Lin Xuan at a glance.
"Haa~"
Lin Xuan yawned. He stayed up all night playing games last night. Although he was used to not sleeping, not even meditating still affected his state.
Come on, Xiaodian and Ibrahimovic!
But this trial seemed a little more boring than Lin Xuan imagined.
The competition adopts a double-elimination format, which also allows each player to have a chance of bad luck.
As for this selection, it will not be broadcast live like the league's previous championships, but will be held in a relatively independent arena.
The place was definitely very big. The only thing that made Lin Xuan uncomfortable was that there was basically no one in the surrounding auditorium.
"That position..."
Lin Xuan glanced at the center of the rostrum. It seemed that Qin Guan's position was there, but he didn't know where he was now.
Lin Xuan couldn't be contacted here, so he asked the staff of the alliance, but there seemed to be no news.
But Lin Xuan and the others were told not to worry, because the president would disappear suddenly like this from time to time, and they had long been used to it.
As for why Lin Xuan felt bored, it was mainly because of the opponent he encountered in the first battle——
"surrender!"
Jiang Quan, who was not far across from Lin Xuan, surrendered without any hesitation, catching Lin Xuan by surprise.
"You can't move so fast, can you?"
The corners of Lin Xuan's mouth twitched slightly, and Jiang Quan, who was standing opposite, was also a little helpless.
Unlucky enough, I met Lin Xuan in the first round.
However, the rules of the trials are not as strict as those of the championships, and the schedule is very short. If a Pokémon is accidentally seriously injured, there may not be enough rest time.
And he is now quite clear that he cannot be Lin Xuan's opponent.
He already knew this during the previous championships, and in the trials, one must know oneself and the enemy. Before today, Jiang Quan had watched Lin Xuan's previous match between Xiaodian and Ibrahimovic - how could these two perverts themselves?
Maybe it's an opponent!
Even just one would be enough for him, let alone two.
Although a trainer does need to have the momentum to move forward - Jiang Quan still feels that the results in the trials are more important.
But after losing to Lin Xuan here once, it means that he cannot lose again.
Lin Xuan turned around and looked a little bored, and found that the players opposite Chu Jingyun seemed to be like this, but Zhang Shouqing had already started fighting.
The other party probably didn't know Zhang Shouqing's specific strength, otherwise he would most likely choose the same approach as Jiang Quan.
In this situation where you know you can't fight, surrender is definitely the best option. This is called strategic retreat!
"Just go over and take a look."
Lin Xuan put her hands behind her back and looked at Bai Yao as she passed by the battlefield.
Bai Yao was stunned for a moment, as if he was wondering why Lin Xuan was not standing here during the battle.
When he turned around to face the battlefield, he found that Jiang Quan also sat down and took out his mobile phone to play Solitaire, looking quite leisurely.
After all, nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to give up.
Even Lin Xuan smiled rudely at Lin Xuan when he walked over, looking quite arrogant. If it weren't for the fact that his opponent was too strong and could not be taken lightly, Bai Yao would have really wanted to go over and beat him up.
.
Lin Xuan quickly walked to the vicinity of Zhang Shouqing's battle site. At this time, Lin Xuan's instinct as a commentator seemed to be awakening. Unfortunately, this game was not allowed to be broadcast live, so Lin Xuan could only suppress this idea.
At this time, there were two Pokémon on the battlefield, one of which was Kirby.
This should be the Kirby that Cheng Si mentioned before, the one that blocked the road and made him late.
As for the opponent, there is a strange force - but the trainer is not Song Chen!
And Lin Xuan saw an exciting scene when he first arrived.
Last time, Guaili used the explosive punch without saying anything.
This strange power most likely has no defensive characteristics, otherwise it would not dare to learn this skill.
After all, the hit rate is too low, so only Pokémon without defense should dare to use it.
Lin Xuan quickly turned his attention to the Kirby beast, because the Kirby beast first used a curse, and then chose to forcefully receive a bursting punch with strange power!
The strange force punched Kirbymon in the stomach. After realizing that Kirbymon was hit in front of him, his body only shook, he froze in place.
This is his full-power explosive punch! Even if Kirbymon has used the curse, it is unlikely to be so outrageous, right?
But then Kirbymon's heavy punch went directly over, and without saying a word, it launched a megaton collision.
Wei Li quickly used close combat to fight back, but was still knocked away.
And in return for this price, Kirbymon stood there and rubbed his belly.
At this moment, Lin Xuan was sure that what Cheng Si said before was completely nonsense, okay?
The strength of this Kirby beast is definitely far superior to that of his Water Arrow Turtle, and it definitely has a five-star level of strength!
Among the many people present, Lin Xuan knew that the one with five-star strength besides himself seemed to be Chu Jingyun.
Not only that pillar, Doron Baruto's strength seems to have reached the five-star level.
But the strength of the Kirby beast in front of him was beyond Lin Xuan's expectation.
Okay, Lin Xuan is now basically sure that the results of this trial can be announced in advance, and Bai Yao and the others can only fight for the substitute spot.
There was no way, no wonder such a guy suddenly appeared, otherwise Lin Xuan felt that Bai Yao was still a bit competitive.
In the subsequent battle, Lin Xuan just watched the Kirby beast sweep all the way, and was not taken back to the Sixth Center of the Scenic Spot until he defeated four of his opponent's elves.
And Lin Xuan felt that even in this situation, this Kirby still retains its fighting ability. You must know that Kirby has a sleeping move!
If it didn't work, he would lie down on the ground and take a nap, relying on the defense strengthened by the curse. Lin Xuan felt that his opponent could not break the defense at all.
As for the Kirby beast, there is a Bee Eagle.
However, although the strength of this Kirby is also very strong, it is obviously inferior to the previous Kirby.
But even so, it is considered top-notch among the four-star level.
If Elledo hadn't super evolved, he might not have been able to defeat him successfully.
In this way, Zhang Shouqing could even be said to have directly pushed his opponent. When Lin Xuan turned around, he even found that Bai Yao's battle not far away was only halfway through.
One of Bai Yao's Pokémon lost its fighting ability, but half of the opponent's Pokémon balls were dimmed.
Thinking about it, there is no suspense, and Bai Yao's strongest Pokémon have not been used yet.
At this time, Chu Jingyun, who was standing next to Lin Xuan and seemed to be just watching the battle with peace of mind, finally spoke.
"I didn't know this guy was so strong last year."
Chu Jingyun was obviously talking about Zhang Shouqing. In the last competition, this guy fell in the quarterfinals, so the two of them had never played against each other.
"So you know why he was only in the top eight last year?"
Lin Xuan asked curiously, but Chu Jingyun also shook his head.
"I don't know. To be honest, I'm not familiar with this guy anymore. After that tournament ended... No, I should say that even before it ended, the two of us had little interaction."
Chu Jingyun said bluntly that he really didn't understand this guy's situation at all.
"You can ask that guy Zhong Mingyi, maybe he will know a little bit."
"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me anyway~"
Lin Xuan laughed and said, after all, if you really want to ask, it would be better to just ask Luo Guan.
After all, it was Luo Guan who told him about this guy from the beginning.
As for Zhang Shouqing, he went directly to the lounge after finishing the battle.
Because the competition time is relatively tight, after the morning game, there will be another game in the afternoon, a total of three days.
In the end, a total of three regular players and four substitute players will be selected.
So three days passed quickly, and Lin Xuan immediately fell into suspicion.
"No, this is the end? Why don't I feel anything at all? Why have I never fought against these two guys once?"
Lin Xuan looked at the staff in front of him and felt that they looked familiar. Then he remembered, isn't this Lao Dou who has been following the master all the time?
"Haha, I didn't mean to choose the first place, it's just like this."
Lin Xuan blinked, except for the last battle where he met Bai Yao, because the outcome was already determined, so the two played the battle just for fun.
Needless to say, it was Bai Yao who made Lin Xuan furious.
Because in these three days - Lin Xuan only fought this one game!
The previous opponents all surrendered immediately after meeting me, without any gaming experience at all!
"I think your selection system is still not very good. Who designed it? I think it needs..."
"Arranged by the president."
Lao Dou said directly, blocking all Lin Xuan's subsequent words.
"...be careful next time, I think there is still room for improvement."
Lin Xuan silently stepped aside, while Bai Yao stood on the side and looked at Lin Xuan with murderous eyes.
Mainly because in the last battle, it seemed that because I had held back for several days, I struck a little harsher.
"Ahem! This is what a battle is like!"
"hehe."
But the final result was good. Bai Yao got the substitute spot without any surprise.
Needless to say, the three main selection spots were naturally divided among Lin Xuan, Chu Jingyun and Zhang Shouqing.
As for the remaining substitute spots, Lin Xuan also said that they were basically expected.
In other words, they are basically acquaintances.
Bai Yao had no surprises, and then Cheng Si had a little bit of a scare, but he still won in the end.
Long Xiao's side went relatively smoothly, but the last spot went to Jiang Quan.
So at a glance, Lin Xuan seemed to be familiar with the team this time, except for Zhang Shouqing who suddenly appeared!
After the previous question was over, Lin Xuan also asked Lao Dou another question, which was——
"Come here, come here, come here."
Lin Xuan quietly pulled Lao Dou aside, making him look strange.
However, the two people at least knew each other because of Qin Guandi, so when they were being pulled away by Lin Xuan, they directly asked:
"You probably want to ask me about the president, right?"
"That's right, that's right. The main reason is that the president asked me to find him before, but he was not around, so he just gave it to me..."
Lin Xuan was interrupted halfway through her words.
"Stop, stop, stop! It's better not to tell me what the president asked you to do. He didn't tell me before, so you just know it yourself."
"Don't worry, I didn't plan to tell you in the first place."
Lin Xuan said so rudely that Lao Dou almost vomited out a mouthful of blood.
It can only be said that these two guys are really from the same lineage, even their ability to infuriate people is so consistent!
"So where did Master go?"
This is what Lin Xuan is most concerned about.
"have no idea."
"You don't even know?"
Lin Xuan was a little surprised. Although his teacher Luo Guan was said to be the president's disciple, in fact, the one who stayed with the president the longest was the one in front of him.
Basically, when the president was in the alliance, Lao Dou was always with him. If he didn't have time to handle many alliance affairs, he would just leave them to Lao Dou.
"The president disappears every once in a while. The time may vary, but no one knows where he has gone."
Lao Dou sighed. He was always the most tired at times like this. He had to take care of a lot of the president's affairs in the alliance. It was really unreasonable!!!
"Don't worry, I want to get the president back more than you do."
As if he was worried that Lin Xuan would not believe what he said, Lao Dou added a special sentence.
After Lin Xuan saw his expression, she could only say - understand, Zhong Mingyi was the same way.
