Chapter 405: Qiao Sang vs. Zhang Xueming
Chapter 405: Qiao Sang vs. Zhang Xueming
The third day of the Regional Tournament.
The familiar battlefield in Seacity.
"Friends! This is the National School League Regional Tournament live broadcast! We meet again!" Yi Ao held a microphone in mid-air and interacted with the crowd, "Did everyone sleep well last night?"
"Great!"
"Not so great!"
The audience responded enthusiastically.
Contestant Area.
Xu Yixuan, who had smoothly advanced to the points round, was in a great mood. She looked at the packed stands and sighed, "It's unbelievable. The first two days were practically empty, but now that you're here, it's packed."
This wasn't just a venue with a few thousand seats; it could hold up to 80,000 people!
"Everyone's here to see Lulu", Qiao Sang said with a smile.
Xu Yixuan paused, seemingly thinking of something, and asked, "Do we count as friends?"
"Of course", Qiao Sang replied, puzzled. "What's up?"
"Then I have a favor to ask", Xu Yixuan said.
Qiao Sang became cautious. "What is it?"
Xu Yixuan leaned in and whispered, "If we face each other in the points round, can you not use Glacialia?"
Qiao Sang: "...Sure."
...
There were 144 participants from the Ancient Fog Region in the Regional Tournament.
After the Elimination Round, 72 remained.
According to the points round rules, all participants would initially be divided into 8 groups, with 9 people in each group.
At the end of this round, the first-place contestant in each group would advance directly, securing a spot in the national tournament.
The bottom three contestants in each group would be eliminated at this stage.
The remaining 5 contestants in each group would be re-grouped, and the top 32 based on points would be selected.
The 8 contestants who advanced in the first round would compete in the final stage to determine the top 8 of the Regional Tournament.
After two days of competition, the Elimination Round was complete.
Although there were 72 matches in the Elimination Round, the Regional Tournament had morning, afternoon, and evening sessions, so two days were sufficient.
"The first round of the points round group lists will be announced next!" Yi Ao announced loudly. "Everyone, please look ahead!"
Suddenly, enlarged holographic photos of all the advancing contestants appeared on the field.
The contestants in the Contestant Area silently covered their faces, unable to bear looking.
The photos shuffled rapidly and settled after a few seconds.
Qiao Sang's gaze quickly scanned the list, and she soon saw her assigned group.
[B Group: Yuhua Region, Qiao Sang]
[Ancient Fog Region, Chen Ye]
[Xilu Region, Guan Shuyi]
[Lianke Region, Li Hua]
[Xilu Region, Bai Binbin]
[...]
[Lianke Region, Xu Tong]
[Lianke Region, Zhang Xueming]
Bai Binbin, Zhang Xueming... Seeing these familiar names, Qiao Sang quickly pulled out her mobile phone and opened her notes.
[Bai Binbin, Xilu Region, E-Class Beastmaster]
[Note: One Advanced Familiar, Super Venomous Scorpion, a dual-attribute Evil and Poison Familiar. It has a fierce temperament, and both its claws and tail can release potent toxins. The claws on its arms have the strength to tear a car apart. Even without using toxins, it can overpower opponents with sheer strength.]
[Advanced Skills: Wave of Malice, Toxin Bombardment, both suspected to be at the small success stage.]
[Trait: Sniper. Familiars with this trait deal more damage when their attacks hit critical points.]
[Trait: Venomous Sting. There is a 30% chance of poisoning when attacking a familiar with this trait using contact-type skills.]
[One Intermediate General Familiar, Scythe Meerkat. It is agile, and its sharp claws are its strongest weapon.]
[Trait: Poison Boost. Familiars with this trait have increased attack power when in a poisoned state.]
Qiao Sang swiped the screen.
【Lianke Region, Zhang Xueming, E-Class Beastmaster】
【Note: An advanced ice-type familiar, Ice Sea Lion. The thick fat on its body not only resists the cold but also repels enemy attacks.】
【Advanced Skill: Blizzard, Mountain Crush】
【Trait: Dull. Familiars with this trait are immune to Enchantment and Taunt and do not react to intimidation.】
【An intermediate fairy companion, Mimimi, Fragile. Proficient in Enchantment Skills.】
【Trait: Super Lucky. Familiars with this trait are more likely to hit critical points during attacks.】
It seems the biggest competitors in the point-accumulation tournament are Bai Binbin and Zhang Xueming... Qiao Sang reviewed their profiles, patiently going through the remaining six contestants.
Although the system randomly groups the participants, there are still some backend instructions, such as ensuring each group has 2 to 3 contestants with advanced familiars.
This is to ensure fairness in the groupings, preventing contestants with only intermediate familiars from advancing to the top eight.
Xu Yixuan was placed in Group E. She checked the profiles of the other contestants in her group who only had intermediate familiars.
Each group has contestants with advanced familiars, so becoming the group's first-place finisher and advancing directly to the national tournament is out of the question.
However, as long as she can secure a spot in the top six of her group, she still has a chance to advance to the national tournament.
...
The first round of the Regional Tournament scoring competition officially began.
As matches started, the audience stands buzzed with discussion.
"What's this familiar called? It's so big, yet it's surprisingly fast."
"It's called a Dual-Headed Brown Bear. Despite its size, look at how developed its leg muscles are."
"This contestant, Zhang Chu, is pretty interesting. He won the match with two insect familiars."
"Why are you discriminating against familiars? There are no useless attributes, only useless Beastmasters."
"You can't say that. Insect familiars generally grow fast in the early stages but have low ceilings. They can't keep up with others in the later stages. They only have a chance to dominate now."
"What does this familiar look like? It resembles a Truthleaf."
"It's an evolved form of Truthleaf, the Gigantic Phantom Grass."
"Wow, I didn't know you, a slacker, knew about other regions' evolved familiars."
"Ah, I wish I didn't know it. My ex-girlfriend suddenly rented a Gigantic Phantom Grass and then broke up with me."
"Tsk."
About 95% of the audience were from the Ancient Fog Region. Although most had little interest in the matches, they were still enthusiastic about discussing familiars from other regions.
As time passed, Qiao Sang also began her match of the day.
The adrenaline-pumping background music played just in time.
When Yi Ao excitedly announced the next contestants to appear,
Blue light and white light simultaneously illuminated the Contestant Area.
Seeing the contestants suddenly appear on the field, the crowd erupted in cheers.
The audience and contestants from other regions were no longer as bewildered as they were on the first day.
The significance of Glacialia to the Ancient Fog Region didn't need to be explained.
After the first day of the tournament, all sorts of information about Glacialia dominated the headlines in the Ancient Fog Region. It was impossible for them not to know.
"Glacialia! Glacialia!"
"I had a pig fortune teller predict yesterday, and it said Qiao Sang will definitely summon Glacialia today!"
"Bro, that's a sure thing!"
"Qiao Sang! I love you! Let me see Glacialia!"
"Everyone be reasonable! Qiao Sang's opponent this match is Zhang Xueming, who has an advanced familiar. What if Glacialia gets injured?"
Amid the intense chants, Lulu and Mimimi appeared on the field.
This time, Qiao Sang wasn't influenced by the audience. Instead, she had gathered intelligence—Mimimi is female.
