Gu Ling had just sat down against a tree and was scrolling through the standings on the competition app when a wanton male voice suddenly sounded:
"Hahahahahaha!"
"Got you!"
A boy appeared in front of Gu Ling with a furry pet.
Xianjiu stood in front of Gu Ling with full vigilance, staring closely at the person and pet who suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Who are you?"
Gu Ling was a little surprised.
How did this person avoid Xianjiu's mental induction and then approach quietly?
"My name is Lu Zichuan."
Seeing Gu Ling's expression as if he'd seen a ghost, the boy grinned enigmatically: "You don't understand how I found you, do you? Obediently hand over your points, and I can make your loss clearer."
Gu Ling's eyes fell on the purple-haired pet beast that looked like a ball of fur next to the boy. He recalled the information about the pet beast in his mind: "Is this a red-eyed fur ball?"
The red-eyed furball is a pet beast that is good at tracking. The pair of red eyes that take up almost half of its face can easily detect all living creatures within a kilometer through biological heat sensing.
Xianjiu's mental induction can only detect distances within a radius of 30 meters, so he has not been able to detect anyone following him.
"Did your red-eyed furball find us?" Gu Ling suddenly understood. He slowly stood up from the ground and asked curiously: "When did you follow us?"
Seeing that Gu Ling recognized the red-eyed fur ball, Lu Zichuan simply stopped hiding it and said, "On your way to the yellow-tailed wasp's nest."
Before entering the competition area, Lu Zichuan had a battle plan. He could secretly track a stronger player, wait until that person's pet beast consumed a lot of energy and relaxed his guard, then launch a sneak attack to steal the points. Walk.
Relying on the tracking advantage of the red-eyed hairball, Lu Zichuan has already deceived two players and gained 5 points.
When he discovered Gu Ling, the captain of Nanping No. 1 Middle School, Lu Zichuan focused on her.
At this moment, Gu Ling's Thunder Seal Cat must have been exhausted and vulnerable after experiencing the Yellow Tail Beehive battle.
Therefore, Lu Zichuan showed up openly.
His trick is called the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole behind, hahahaha...
"why are you laughing?"
Gu Ling couldn't understand why Lu Zichuan suddenly grinned, looking a little silly.
...Hiss, is there anything wrong with this person’s mind?
"Ahem!" Lu Zichuan put his hands on his hips and said in a vicious tone: "Stop talking nonsense! If you don't want your pet to suffer, just hand over the points!"
"Xianjiu! Five stars of lightning flash!"
Gu Ling snapped his fingers.
The next second, Xianjiu's figure flew out with a whoosh.
Xianjiu, who used lightning flash, disappeared midway, and when he reappeared, he was already behind the red-eyed fur ball.
boom!
The red-eyed fur ball caught Xianjiu's heat sense, but did not react and was knocked away by the flash of lightning.
"Red-eyed fur ball! Use silk spinning quickly!" Seeing Xianjiu attack with lightning flash again, Lu Zichuan said quickly.
"Mao~" The red-eyed furball stood up from the ground, turned his head and spit out a thread towards Xianjiu.
But before the silk thread touched Xianjiu, Xianjiu's figure disappeared from sight again.
Immediately afterwards——
boom! boom! boom!
Xianjiu's figure seemed to be coming from all directions. No matter how hard the red-eyed fur ball dodged, he could not avoid the lightning attack.
Lu Zichuan's eyes widened.
What skill is this?
A flash of light that can turn a corner?
"……hair!"
The red-eyed furball, which was continuously hit by lightning flashes, could no longer hold on and fell to the ground with a painful expression.
Gu Ling was not surprised when he saw this scene.
So what if the red-eyed furball can sense Xianjiu's position?
Can you react?
"Red-eyed furball!" Lu Zichuan quickly ran to the red-eyed furball and looked at the scarred red-eyed furball with eyes full of disbelief:
"How could this happen...Didn't the Thunder Seal Cats have a battle in the Yellow Tail Hive? How do you feel..." Still full of energy?
Lu Zichuan was afraid of the yellow-tailed bees in the yellow-tailed hive, and there was a red-eyed furball around him that could monitor Gu Ling within a thousand meters, so he never approached the yellow-tailed hive from beginning to end. Naturally, he didn't know that Gu Ling didn't let him go at all. Xianjiu seizes the points card openly.
But now, Lu Zichuan couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought, he could only watch as Xian Jiu used his mind power to control his phone and fly into Gu Ling's hand.
"5 points? Not bad."
Gu Ling opened the competition app on Lu Zichuan's phone and saw that the latter already had 5 points.
Even if Gu Ling doesn't need these 5 points, in the remaining few minutes, she will definitely not be kicked out of first place by others.
But Lu Zichuan sent points from a thousand miles away, and it was difficult to refuse the kindness, so Gu Ling had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.
Gu Ling scanned Lu Zichuan's points into his phone, then returned the latter's phone and patted Lu Zichuan on the shoulder.
"Thanks, buddy."
Xianjiu followed Gu Ling and left. When he passed by Lu Zichuan who looked dull, he meowed softly: "Miwu~" Bye~Send off the little ones~
After Gu Ling walked away, Lu Zichuan finally couldn't hold it any longer!
"...Ahhhhh!"
hateful!
Not only did the cunning and hidden Thunder Seal Cat have the power to defeat him! Take away his points!
And insulted his character! !
The more Lu Zichuan thought about it, the angrier he became. In the end, he hugged his red-eyed fur ball tightly and cried loudly: "Uuuuuuuuah, this is too much..."
"..."
After 10 minutes, the first field battle ended.
As expected, Gu Ling won first place in Group 2 and earned a qualifying spot.
Gu Ling came out of the competition area and was about to quickly change out of all the wet clothes on his body when he was stopped by a player from the same competition area.
"Gu Ling, how did you get the special points card?"
Since she had read a lot of information about the school's top students beforehand, Gu Ling quickly recognized the boy who stopped in front of her. He was Zhang Ze, the second-ranked student in Qingchuan No. 1 Middle School.
Zhang Ze is also another player in the same group who qualified.
Gu Ling blinked: "What special points card?"
Zhang Ze stared at Gu Ling closely: "Your points suddenly increased from 3 points to 23 points. It's obvious that you got a special points card."
"The special points cards are guarded by a group of pet beasts. How did you get them?"
Zhang Ze also thought about the idea of special point cards, but each group of pet beasts guarding the special point cards had too many pet beasts, and there were several warrior-level pet beasts in them.
If you forcefully break in, your pet may be injured or eliminated.
Therefore, Zhang Ze could only settle for the next best thing and steal points from other players.
Because Zhang Ze knew how difficult it was to obtain special points cards, so when he was overtaken by Gu Ling in the rankings, he had been struggling and not understanding how Gu Ling obtained the special points cards.
Gu Ling chuckled: "Guess~"
Zhang Ze, who was anxious to get the answer: "..."
Xianjiu, who was next to Gu Ling, had his hands on his hips and an inscrutable look on his face: "Miwu~"
Naturally, I fought with the yellow-tailed queen for 300 rounds, and finally won the special points card by narrowly defeating half a move~
"..." This time it was the turn of Gu Ling, the only one who understood Meow Star Language, to be speechless.
The shameless cat has learned bad things from cartoons!
As a wise and powerful beastmaster, even she didn't dare to brag about such awesomeness! →_→
Zhang Ze snorted coldly: "Even if you don't tell me, there will be a live replay after the game."
"Oh, then I don't need to say it."
Gu Ling rubbed her arms. It felt uncomfortable to be soaked in the cold winter. She was not in the mood to chat with Zhang Ze about her "great achievements".
Gu Ling walked around Zhang Ze and waved politely: "Bye~"
Zhang Ze: "..."
…
Half an hour later, in the temporary rest area.
"Aqiu~"
Having just put on new clothes, Gu Ling was sitting on a chair wrapped in a large cotton-padded jacket, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and the electric fan was turned on next to him.
Huang Weiwei was holding a towel next to her and wiping Xianjiu's hair.
Gu Ling and Xianjiu took a sip of hot tea at the same time, and the next second, they both let out a long sigh of relief.
Dai Hao brought over the boiled tea and put it on the table: "Gu Ling, you dare to jump into the river in this winter. You are really not afraid of catching a cold..."
"It's better to catch a cold than to be eliminated from the competition, right?" Gu Ling shrugged.
Lou Huayu came over with his mobile phone and played the live broadcast playback video in his mobile phone. It was the scene of Gu Ling when he was in the Yellow Tail Beehive: "The live broadcast where you fooled the Yellow Tail Bee Swarm was played back and forth on the big screen outside. I tried it five times, but it’s a shame you came up with such a bad idea.”
"Ling Ling, you and Xian Jiu are so powerful, so many poison-tailed wasps dare to pass by." Huang Weiwei changed the towel and continued to wipe Xian Jiu's hair.
Gu Ling was stunned: "...No, so many people are competing, why did they record me?"
"The live broadcast footage will focus on the players with the highest points. You are one of the few players who ran to the beast's lair, and there will be almost no shortage of footage of you later." Lu Jiuwen, who was watching the live broadcast on the side, replied quietly.
"……Well."
Gu Ling quickly recalled his actions in the game, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't do anything bad, right?
...Well, his image is still that of a good student.
While several people were talking, Zhou Mengran walked in from the door: "Gu Ling, you should have a good rest in the hotel these two days. The following schedule is the top 32 and top 16 of the team competition, and the individual competition will be advanced to the top 16 after the big day. powerful."
Zhou Mengran had just sent Pei Gang, Xia Zihan, and He Siruo off to the competition area for the second game.
"Okay, Teacher Zhou."
Gu Ling turned around and asked, "Have our top 32 opponents come out in the team competition?"
Dai Hao nodded: "Come out, it's Wenli No. 1 Middle School."
Hearing this, Gu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly.
Is it the Wenli No. 1 Middle School that Director Wan wants to defeat?
What a coincidence.
Lou Huayu rubbed his hands excitedly: "Hey hey hey, if you just hear the truth and get it right, don't bother our captain to take action, I will do it!"
"Director Wan attaches great importance to this team competition with Wenli No. 1 Middle School, so we will have two official team members this time. The candidates for the battle are tentatively decided to be Pei Gang, He Siruo, and Xia Zihan." Zhou Mengran said.
"Ah... Teacher Zhou, can't I play?" Lou Huayu looked at Zhou Mengran eagerly, hoping that the other party would change his mind.
Zhou Mengran smiled helplessly: "Director Wan said to be safe, let Pei Gang and Zihan both play. After all, Wenli No. 1 Middle School also has the strength of the top eight."
Pei Gang was lost for a second, and immediately thought about his place in the top 16: "...Then I want to play in the next game!"
Gu Ling felt relieved when he heard that both Pei Gang and Xia Zihan would play.
Even He Siruo, who was a substitute, could reach the level of the official main force if he was placed in the previous class of Nanping No. 1 Middle School.
It's just that this year's Nanping No. 1 Middle School is not very lucky. There is Gu Ling and Pei Gang, and no one can shake the first and second place in the grade.
The conditions in the rest area were limited, so Zhou Mengran asked the staff to send Gu Ling back to the hotel to take a shower before the second field battle was over.
Gu Ling was also worried that he would catch a cold and delay the next game. As soon as he returned to the hotel, he took Xianjiu for a hot bath, then wrapped himself in a quilt and drank two pots of hot tea.
After the field battle was over, the promotion list for the individual competition of Nanping No. 1 Middle School came out, including: Gu Ling, Pei Gang, Xia Zihan, and Lu Jiuwen.
He Siruo and Lou Huayu had some bad luck. There were many regular players from Yushou Middle School, Hailan No. 1 Middle School, and Hailan Experimental Middle School in the same competition area. Their opponents were too strong, so they had no choice but to be eliminated.
…
When it came to the top 32 of the team competition on the third day, Gu Ling did not go to the central battle arena and chose to stay in the hotel, wrapped in a quilt, drinking hot tea and watching the live broadcast.
The game went extremely smoothly.
In the first two games, Pei Gang and He Siruo were very good. It was 2:0, and they blocked the opponent Wenli Yizhong. Xia Zihan did not have to play in the next game.
When the troops returned to the hotel for lunch, Gu Ling received the news and went downstairs. As soon as she entered the private room door, she heard Director Wan's hearty laughter.
"Pei Gang, you played very well in the first game today! You must continue to do so..."
"The same goes for Siruo. It was a clean sheet at 2:0, and the other team was dumbfounded, hahaha..."
"..."
After Gu Ling came in, he found that Zhou Mengran was not present.
"Director Wan, where is Teacher Zhou?"
Wan Endong explained: "Teacher Zhou went over to have a meeting about some matters regarding the top 16 of the team competition."
"Ling Ling, how do you feel?" Huang Weiwei next to Gu Ling asked with concern after Gu Ling sat down.
Gu Ling smiled slightly: "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with me. I'm a two-star beast master after all, so my body won't be so weak."
After the beast master makes a contract with the pet beast, it will have an effect similar to "feeding back", strengthening the physical constitution of the beast master. In addition, the beast master has meditated for many years and continuously strengthened his mental power, so that the beast master can control the beast. The teacher's physique will be much stronger than that of ordinary people.
If it weren't for the physique of a two-star beast master, Gu Ling wouldn't have dared to jump into the river and take an ice bath in the cold winter months.
Everyone waited for a while, and Zhou Mengran finally came back from the meeting.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Mengran announced a big news to everyone: "In the following team competition, a Qiankun competition format will be added, so be prepared."
Lou Huayu was the first to speak in confusion: "Teacher Zhou, what is the Qiankun Tournament?"
"This is a new team competition rule added this year. If any team that reaches the top 16 loses in the subsequent team competition, they can choose to start the Qiankun competition. Each side will send a player to compete in a 1v1 PK match. The winning team will advance. .”
"If the initiating party loses again, all the final ranking bonus will belong to the opponent. If the initiating party wins the Qiankun Tournament, while advancing, half of the final ranking bonus will still be distributed to the opponent." Zhou Mengran explained.
To turn the world around by oneself is to race for the world.
After listening to Zhou Mengran's introduction, everyone was surprised.
"Can you still play like this? Then no matter whether you win or not, it seems that besides not being able to advance, your opponent also doesn't suffer much? You get bonuses?"
"Which team dares to use the Qiankun Tournament?"
"Only if you are very confident in the strongest member of the team would you take such a big risk."
"..."
