When Chang Yuntao spoke, he subconsciously focused his attention on Zhou Shiqi, paying close attention to his every move.
His words seemed to be spoken to everyone present, but in fact, only he knew in his heart that he was basically trying to show his favor to Zhou Shiqi by making it clear that he had no intention of starting the game against Zhou Xuanyu.
Chang Yuntao didn't want Zhou Shiqi to misunderstand and end up in the same tragic situation as Ding Lei.
Therefore, he wanted to make this clear and tell everyone straightforwardly.
It was his duty to replace Ding Lei.
However, when facing Zhou Xuanyu, Xiao Zhe, and Wang Xin, don't send yourself.
Going up there is just a matter of feeling uncomfortable.
He still has this bit of self-awareness.
Seeing Chang Yuntao on the road like this, Zhou Shiqi was naturally very pleased and glanced at him approvingly.
"Ding Lei is injured. In this case, if I go to fight Zhou Xuanyu, no one will hold different opinions, right?" Zhou Shiqi couldn't help but have a smile on his lips.
With a pretentious sigh, the kid's clone said with a sad face: "Before the war, we lost one of our most capable generals. It feels like God is joking with us."
"Perhaps they felt that we were too smooth sailing before and deliberately wanted to make it more difficult for us."
Hearing this, the hearts of everyone present were immediately covered with a layer of gloom, and their faces became extremely solemn.
After pondering for a moment, the kid's clone continued: "Originally, Ding Lei faced Zhou Xuanyu from the Shuntian City representative team. This was the best choice, but now..."
Everyone couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Seeing Wang Keer's eyes twinkling and biting her lips, Zhou Shiqi raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't that right? Is Wang Xiaoniu planning to take the initiative?"
In his mind, he imagined the fight scene between Wang Keer and Zhou Xuanyu playing house in the ring, with smiles on their faces and flirtatious glances. Zhou Shiqi's heart immediately rang with alarm bells.
"I will never allow this to happen under my nose!"
When he thought of this, Zhou Shiqi immediately stood out from the crowd. After coughing, he said solemnly: "Teacher Xiao Wang, since Ding Lei is injured and cannot play, and Zhou Xuanyu took the initiative to ask me to fight, I have been thinking about it.
Under such circumstances, if I don't take the initiative to accept the invitation to fight, it will really be unjustifiable."
"Since Zhou Xuanyu wants to fight, then I will accompany him to the end."
"Otherwise, he really thinks I'm afraid of him!"
After looking around Wang Ke'er, Duanmu Nana and others, the kid's clone's eyes finally fell on Mei Ji and Chen Xiaozhi: "Sister Mei Ji, Lao Chen, for Zhou Shiqi to fight against Zhou Xuanyu
, do you two have any other opinions?"
Chen Xiaozhi immediately shrugged: "I don't have any objections, just make your decision!"
Mei Ji shook her head and sighed: "Ding Lei was accidentally injured and couldn't play. Now that things have happened, we can only send Zhou Shiqi to play."
"After all, he, Wang Ke'er, and Su Ruogou are the three people with the highest cultivation levels in our Shanghai-Hai team."
"If one of the three of them goes to fight Zhou Xuanyu, the chance of winning will be higher."
After a pause, Mei Ji added: "Zhou Xuanyu will be the first player for the Shuntian City representative team. As for which number Xiao Zhe will play, we don't know."
"So, I think when we arrange our troops, we should try to leave Su Ruogou as the last one to appear and let him finish the game."
"The main purpose of the remaining four players is to consume Xiao Zhe's physical strength and energy as much as possible after he appears, so that Su Ruogou can complete the harvest."
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement except Zhou Shiqi and the little kid's clone who looked at each other noncommittally.
Zhou Shiqi smiled from the bottom of his heart. It seemed that Mei Ji and the others did not have high expectations for him.
Perhaps if they thought about it, if he could defeat Zhou Xuanyu, it would be a successful completion of the mission.
They don't dare to expect too much.
This is also true, because Zhou Shiqi is so fast in his career, but usually too low-key, and has no impressive record to be known to others, so no one would have any expectations for him.
But Su Ruogou is different.
As Su Ruogou, who is well-known in the cultivation world and is on the first-grade Grandmaster Realm candidate list, in the eyes of Mei Ji and others, he is the strongest player in the Shanghai Representative Team.
Zhou Shiqi was very dissatisfied with this, and he was thinking in his mind: "If I single-handedly defeated all the players from the Shuntian City representative team, including Xiao Zhe, I think everyone's expressions would be very exciting when the time comes, right?"
"
"Moreover, not only the people in my own team, but also the audience and contestants at Fengchao Stadium, and the people watching the live broadcast of the game on TV, I'm afraid they all can't believe their eyes, right?"
After a long while, the kid's clone touched his chin and said, "Then follow Mei Ji's suggestion. When we face the Shuntian City representative team, Zhou Shiqi will start the game."
"The next contestants are Chang Yuntao, Wang Keer, Duanmu Nana and Su Ruogou."
After a pause, the kid's clone continued: "As for the Chang'an City representative team, with their usual behavior, there is a high chance that the spiritual master Wang Xin will be the last one to play."
"So, I plan to leave this starting opportunity to Wang Ke'er and Duanmu Nana, who can both abuse food and become famous."
"It's impossible for them to finally participate in a national competition and get to the end without even having a chance to appear on the stage, right?"
"That's too unreasonable!"
"As for who will start, you two can make up your own mind!"
Duanmu Nana shrugged and said without hesitation: "It doesn't matter to me whether I play or not. I think it's better to give this starting opportunity to Kerr."
"Her grandparents and younger brother have been cheering her on since the start of the national competition. They have been looking forward to her playing!"
"Nana..." Seeing that Duanmu Nana gave herself this opportunity to shine in front of the national audience, Wang Keer was moved and couldn't help but hold Duanmu Nana's slightly cold little hand, and then she smiled.
He said, "That's good, we'll have two games each, and we'll leave after we finish. As for the spiritual master Wang Xin, I'll leave it to Lao Zhou and Lao Su."
"Okay, okay!"
Seeing that the two girls were talking to themselves and allocating their opponents, everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes wildly.
Especially Chang Yuntao, who raised his hand weakly: "What, have you forgotten me?"
Duanmu Nana glanced at him with a smile but not a smile: "It doesn't matter, you are just cannon fodder anyway. If you face that spiritual master Wang Xin, you will only be killed instantly."
"Cannon fodder?!" Chang Yuntao looked suffocated and was choked to the point of speechlessness.
Seeing Wang Keer nodding in agreement, Chang Yuntao's face turned dark at that moment.
In the eyes of you two, my co-author, Chang Yuntao, has become that kind of dispensable cannon fodder with no sense of expectation?
Are you talking without any emotion?
After all, I am also the young Wen Hou Chang Yuntao with a well-known reputation, okay?
Do you really think I have no face?
Chang Yuntao was so upset that his lungs were really about to explode with anger.
He wanted to say a few harsh words, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
Chang Yuntao knew very well that the strength of his Wu Tu Qi was actually physical defense, but when he met the non-mainstream spiritual master Wang Xin, he could only be dumbfounded.
That guy is a pervert!
Seeing Chang Yuntao being choked to the point of speechlessness by Wang Keer and Duanmu Nana, looking downcast like a defeated rooster, everyone couldn't help but chuckle.
Chang Yuntao, who heard everyone's unbridled laughter, almost turned the color of pig liver from suppressing his emotions.
The kid's clone coughed dryly and concluded: "When we face the Chang'an City representative team, Wang Ke'er will start the game."
"The next ones to come are Duanmu Nana, Zhou Shiqi, Su Ruogou and Chang Yuntao."
As he said that, the little kid's clone turned his attention to Chang Yuntao, who had not yet recovered, with a playful smile on his lips: "Chang Yuntao, you see, I have great expectations for you, so
I leave all the finishing work to you."
"Favorability from Chang Yuntao, +99..."
"Teacher Xiao Wang!" Chang Yuntao was so excited that he burst into tears. Infinite pride suddenly arose in his heart. Even in order to respond to Teacher Xiao Wang's expectations, he would risk his life to kill the spiritual master Wang Xin.
However, Chang Yuntao's impassioned fighting spirit didn't last for two seconds before he was confused by the little kid's clone's next light words.
"Well, I'm just taking precautions for a rainy day."
"Once even Zhou Shiqi and Su Ruogou can't deal with that spiritual master Wang Xin, then we really have no chance of winning."
"Sending you up at this moment won't actually help."
"However, if you finish it, it can divert a considerable amount of attention."
"People will mistakenly think that you are our trump card against Wang Xin."
"In this way, after you are instantly killed by Wang Xin, the pressure on Zhou Shiqi and Su Ruogou will be less."
Chang Yuntao's face turned blue and white, and he finally understood the profound meaning of Teacher Xiao Wang's words.
This little brat is really nothing.
It's so obvious that he wants to take the blame after his team suffers a defeat!
"Favorability from Chang Yuntao, -66..."
The ear-splitting laughter from everyone, who was somewhat gloating about someone else's misfortune, could be heard. Chang Yuntao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
"Why is my life so miserable?"
At this moment, Chang Yuntao felt the deep malice of this world.
…
After having breakfast at the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel at seven o'clock, everyone got on the special car provided by the organizer and rushed to Fengchao Stadium without stopping.
At eight o'clock sharp, the draw ceremony for the national competition and the eighth round series will be held on time.
