Fifteen minutes later.
The first match of the qualifiers has officially begun. In order to save time, multiple teams will compete at the same time in multiple battle venues in the arena.
At this time, many residents of Hailan City also came to the auditorium of the battle hall. The battle was even more lively than during the battle placement test in Nanping No. 1 Middle School.
"There are so many people..."
In the waiting area of the Nanping No. 1 Middle School team, Gu Ling and others looked at the almost full audience in the competition hall, looking a little surprised.
Zhou Mengran crossed his arms and looked calm: "The friendly match is considered to be the largest pet animal event in Hailan City every year. Naturally, many people will come to watch."
"If we can win the championship, won't we become famous in Hailan City?" Lou Huayu said excitedly.
"If you want to be famous, you have to work hard." Zhang Huizi was now wearing a doctor's uniform and carrying a medical kit in his hand, ready for treatment at any time.
In the first game of the first qualifier, the opponent Takeda No. 1 Middle School sent out the fire-type beast Black Coal Pig.
When the opponent saw He Siruo's little water leopard, his face obviously became serious.
After the battle began, He Siruo had been playing steadily. The opponent had no room for resistance and no chance of turning defeat into victory. Not only was he restrained in terms of attributes, but he was also significantly inferior in strength.
Not surprisingly, He Siruo successfully won the first game.
After He Siruo came off the stage, he looked at Lou Huayu with a smile on his face: "Lou Huayu, the rest is up to you."
"No problem, keep it on me." Lou Huayu rubbed his hands excitedly.
After winning the first game, Gu Ling and others relaxed a lot. Even if Lou Huayu was unreliable and overturned, there was still Lu Jiuwen behind him.
After five minutes of intermission, the second game of Game 1 began.
After Lou Huayu came on the field, he took the lead in summoning Xiao Longshi.
On the opposite side, Ding Chong, a player from Takeda No. 1 Middle School, summoned a pet beast that looked like a lobster.
Pei Gang, who was outside the court, let out a light tut: "This is the water beast Iron Bucket Shrimp. It seems that Lou Huayu is not very lucky."
"Although water-based beasts can restrain rock-based beasts, the specifics depend on the strength gap between the two." He Siruo said.
On the battlefield, after taking out the Iron Bucket Shrimp, Ding Chong showed a look of determination on his face: "You'd better admit defeat as soon as possible, so as not to hurt your pet beast in vain."
"Tch~" Lou Huayu curled his lips and didn't take Ding Chong's provocation to heart: "Xiao Longshi, we can't embarrass ourselves in front of the teachers and students in the school. This is the first battle."
"Long~" Xiao Longshi's eyes were sharp and he touched each other's hands, which were as hard as stone.
When the referee announced the start of the battle, Ding Chong took the lead: "Iron bucket shrimp, use the water gun!"
The Iron Bucket Shrimp opened its big mouth and spit out a water gun towards Xiao Longshi.
Facing the water gun spraying towards him, Lou Huayu gave the order with a calm expression: "Xiao Longshi, spin your body at high speed!"
The next second, Xiao Longshi started spinning in place like a spinning top.
Tietong Xia's water gun hit Xiao Longshi, who was rotating at high speed, and was directly 'bounced' away.
Seeing this scene, Ding Chong looked shocked: "How is this possible?!"
He actually thought of using high-speed rotation to block the water gun.
In this way, Xiao Longshi was almost not harmed by the water gun skill.
Lou Huayu: "Xiao Longshi, keep the rotation strength and use rolling!"
Xiao Longshi did not stop spinning. While spinning in place to block the water gun, he was also accumulating power.
At this time, Lou Huayu gave an order, and Xiaolongshi rolled towards the iron bucket shrimp at an extremely fast speed!
boom! boom! boom!
The successive rolling attacks all hit the Iron Bucket Shrimp!
In the end, Iron Bucket Shrimp fell to the ground exhausted.
Upon seeing this, the referee announced the result: "The Iron Bucket Shrimp has lost the ability to fight, and Xiao Longshi wins!"
"Nanping No. 1 Middle School vs. Takeda No. 1 Middle School in the qualifiers. The final score was 2:0. Nanping No. 1 Middle School won this game."
Ding Chong looked suspicious of life and murmured: "...How could it be possible? Can a rock-type pet defeat a water-type pet so easily?"
Hearing this, Lou Huayu shrugged and comforted him kindly: "I don't know how many times I fought with water beasts in our school. The power of this water gun is not as powerful as Si Ruo's little water leopard."
The tactic of using high-speed rotation to resist water gun skills is not a panacea.
It's just that the power of the Iron Bucket Shrimp's water gun is not enough to break through the high-speed rotating defense.
When Lou Huayu returned to the waiting area, the expression on his face became very angry: "Hey, hey, I won it easily!"
Pei Gang patted Lou Huayu on the shoulder: "I thought you were going to overturn."
"How is this possible! My little Longshi is baptized by the little water leopard's water gun every day. It would be too embarrassing to lose to the little water gun as powerful as the Iron Bucket Shrimp." As he said this, Lou Huayu winked at He Siruo. Blinked.
He Siruo nodded in agreement: "My little water leopard doesn't even dare to be careless when hitting a little Long Shi. If you lose, my little water leopard will be embarrassed and embarrassed."
"Hehe..." Lou Huayu scratched his head in embarrassment.
Among the hundreds of students in the beast control class at Nanping No. 1 Middle School, it’s not like there aren’t others who have contracted water beasts.
But in the entire grade, Lou Huayu's Xiao Longshi couldn't beat He Siruo's Little Water Leopard. Although it was troublesome to fight against other water-type pet beasts, it was not impossible to deal with it.
Gu Ling had been sitting on the bench for two games, and now he stood up and stretched: "Then let's call it a day early."
Zhou Mengran nodded: "Now you can move around freely, but I suggest you watch more games from other schools, maybe you will be your opponents later."
At this time, Dai Hao sent a document to the competition group: "This is the information I have just compiled on the school teams that have reached the top 16 in the past five years, as well as their schedule for this qualifier. Which school team do you prefer?" If you are interested, you can go and take a look.”
Gu Ling and others clicked in to check, and soon there were several exclamations.
In the document, not only are the schedule times and battle venues marked, but the route is also planned, making it clear at a glance.
Lou Huayu winked: "Dai Hao, you are so thin!"
"Go away." Dai Hao said one word with a smile, and then explained to everyone: "This is what Xiaowen suggested."
"He had to train before and didn't have time, so I, the substitute, was responsible for helping with the chores." As he said that, Dai Hao shrugged, showing a look that seemed to be forced to help.
Lu Jiuwen looked at the information in the group with a cold face and said nothing.
"Awesome! You two are both data monsters!" Lou Huayu glanced at Lu Jiuwen cautiously, but he did not dare to make the same joke to the latter.
After all, he can beat Dai Hao sometimes, and it's okay to talk.
But against Lu Jiuwen, Lou Huayu felt as if his underwear had been stripped off by the other party, and he had no temper at all.
Gu Ling counted the number of games that could still be watched inside, and suggested: "There are several games going on at the same time, so why don't we watch the games separately."
"Can."
"Ling Ling, let's go together!"
"..."
…
A few hours later.
In the afternoon, Nanping No. 1 Middle School played the second qualifier against Shuihe No. 1 Middle School.
The lineup of Nanping No. 1 Middle School: Dai Hao, Huang Weiwei, Lu Jiuwen.
In the first two rounds of the battle, Dai Hao and Huang Weiwei faced off against electric beasts and rock beasts respectively. The two men, who had attribute advantages, adopted the same tactics.
Dai Hao's little vine monster relies on its roots in the earth to guide the opponent's electricity underground while using parasitic seeds to consume the opponent's pet beast's physical strength.
Huang Weiwei's Blazing Sun Seed uses super absorption to replenish her own physical strength, while using the Flying Leaf Knife to continuously consume the opponent's physical strength.
In the end, the second game of the qualifiers was also won with an absolute advantage of 2:0. Nanping No. 1 Middle School successfully qualified in the group and advanced to the top 32 of the team competition.
In the evening when everyone gathered together for dinner——
Wan Endong's face was so curved that he almost grinned from ear to ear. He was helping Gu Ling and others pick up chicken legs, and then he was serving the soup himself. He kept mumbling:
"There are six teams in today's qualifiers with the same points in the group, and they need to play extra games tonight, but they are all teams with average strength, so don't pay too much attention."
"You guys should have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow is the field battle for the individual competition. You need to be energetic."
Zhou Mengran posted the relevant schedule of his personal field battle in the competition group:
"The competition rules for the individual field battle have been announced. As in previous years, all players will be divided into 6 groups and enter the Amber Forest. The competition time is two hours. The top two players with the most points in each group will qualify. Advance to the top 16 of the individual competition.”
"Last year's top four school teams can allow the top players in the school to directly advance to the top 16."
This time, Zhou Mengran didn’t need to explain any more.
The top student in his grade who was trained by last year's top four schools, his strength cannot be underestimated.
Allowing those people to advance directly is not only for the sake of balance in the early games, but also because the organizers of the friendly matches take into account the enjoyment of the later games to prevent some strong players from being eliminated early because they are in the same group and have limited qualifying places. .
"Although the groups are randomized, the organizers will ensure that there will be no two players from the same school in each group, so in the field battle, you have no companions and everyone is your opponent."
Zhou Mengran turned to look at Gu Ling: "Gu Ling, although you have two pet beasts, you are only allowed to use one pet beast in each game. You should use Xianjiu tomorrow."
Gu Ling nodded: "Yes."
"Then remember to release Xianjiu in advance in the hotel tomorrow."
The color of the contract magic circle will reveal the level of the beast master. Gu Ling wants to hide the strength of his two-star beast master. He cannot directly condense the contract magic circle in front of outsiders yet.
"clear."
"..."
After dinner, Gu Ling and Huang Weiwei returned to the hotel room together.
Huang Weiwei went to take a bath first, and Gu Ling opened the contract circle and released Xianjiu and the naughty ghost.
Gu Ling was not seen all day long. As soon as Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost appeared, they threw themselves into Gu Ling's arms.
"Miwu~"
"Jie Jie~"
Gu Ling rubbed his head with each hand: "Xianjiu, you naughty boy, are you bored in the beast space?"
This is the first time the two little guys have stayed in the pet space for such a long time.
Gu Ling usually lives alone at home, and Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost are not big, so they are always used to letting them out.
Because of the presence of the two little guys, the house became noisy and felt like home.
"Tomorrow is an individual match, I will let Xianjiu play."
Gu Ling scratched Xianjiu's chin with his hand. Xianjiu lay comfortably on Gu Ling's lap, exposing his soft belly.
"Miwu~"
Beast Master, don’t worry!
This cat will kill everyone tomorrow!
Gu Ling raised his head again and said to Naughty Gui: "Naughty Gui, you are our secret weapon. You have to stay behind before going on stage."
"Jie Jie~" The naughty ghost nodded with a playful smile. The little chubby hand groped inside his stomach and took out the bottle containing the last two drops of Biying's venom.
"Oh, by the way, it's time to take a drop of Biying's venom tonight."
The naughty ghost's basic anti-toxic training has been completed. In the first two weeks, he began to absorb various toxic resources to strengthen the toxicity of the 'mysterious gas' on the naughty ghost.
Gu Ling didn't dare to touch the naughty ghost's gassy lower body now, so he could only touch his chubby head.
"Jie Jie~" The naughty ghost opened the bottle happily, poured out a drop of Biying venom, rolled his tongue, and swallowed it into his stomach.
Gu Ling looked at the faint poison lines appearing on the naughty ghost's body, and opened the contract circle, allowing the naughty ghost to return to the pet space and slowly absorb it.
Seeing that the naughty ghost had returned to the beast space, Xianjiu stretched out his little paw to pull Gu Ling's sleeve.
I want to go in too~
We can’t let naughty people secretly work hard behind my back~
Gu Ling touched Xianjiu's head, picked up the kitten and put it on the bed, and continued to scratch the cat's chin: "Xianjiu, you don't have to enter the pet space tonight, you have to go to the competition tomorrow. "
Xianjiu lay on the bed and squinted his eyes comfortably: "Miwu~" That's okay~
I will reluctantly sleep with the beastmaster tonight~
…
The second day of the friendly match is December 13th.
Because the individual field competition is held in the Amber Forest outside the city, the players wake up early in the morning and have breakfast before taking a bus to the outskirts of the Amber Forest.
The Amber Forest is the largest natural forest closest to Hailan City. There are many wild beasts living in it and it is classified as a pet sanctuary.
The competition venue for the individual field battle is only in the outer area of the Amber Forest. Three competition areas have been divided in advance. In order to save time, there are also three groups competing at the same time.
Before setting off, players like Gu Ling were also drawn into groups. Gu Ling was assigned to Group 2 and would be the first group of players to compete.
Before the start of the game, all players downloaded a game-specific app. When they find the scoreboard in the Amber Forest, they can use the app to scan the QR code of the scoreboard and record their own points, and there will be real-time information in it. Points list ranking, timer, positioning, quick help function, etc.
During the competition, the app will lock the rest of the software functions of the players' mobile phones, leaving only the competition app for normal use, preventing players from asking for help from the outside world. (End of chapter)
