The contracted pets were all in good condition. Mu Chuyue opened her eyes and returned to reality.
She needs to go to the Battle Club this afternoon to discuss the next competition plan with Xiang Xun and Director Hai.
Jingzhou University had already stood out in the preliminary round a week ago and qualified for the national competition.
This is a natural development. The preliminary round is a regional elimination round. Almost all beast-taming high schools with school teams in Jingzhou, as well as civilian fighting organizations, will participate, and the quality of the competition is mostly uneven.
For a well-established and prestigious university like Jingzhou University, the strength of its combat department is completely not on the same level as that of ordinary schools and private organizations.
The main combat strength of the official members of the Kyoto University team all starts from the mature stage, and many of the players in the regional elimination rounds have pets that are in the growth stage, or even in the advanced stage of infancy.
Mu Huoyue lost interest after participating in a preliminary selection. Not to mention the Nightmare Knight with the Emperor's Domain, most opponents can be killed instantly with high-level [Deterrence] skills such as White Fang's Midnight Echo or Harvey's Evil Face.
Even when Xiao Chaoxi went there, he just killed indiscriminately. Most of the opponents were not as strong as the Cinder Fire Sparrow that was born at the same time as Wen Li's family.
Not only is it difficult to gain combat experience when fighting against an opponent who is too different from you, but the daily rewards you can get from the system tasks in "Elf Ranch Story" are also very few. Basically, you may not be able to exchange for a Holy Spring Drop even if you fight ten games.
Therefore, Mu Huoyue no longer paid attention to the preliminary rounds, and focused his main energy on sparring with the fighting club and the club.
Now that the preliminary round has been successfully concluded, the national competition adopting the new competition system will be held in the competition venue in the capital Jingjiang City in three days.
Before attending the meeting with the opposing team, Mu Huiyue carefully studied the rules of this competition.
The biggest difference compared to previous years is that it has changed from a regular knockout round to a points round where players have to work hard until the very last minute to determine the final result.
Strictly speaking, the race is divided into two parts.
Three days later, the qualifying round of the points competition began at the Jingjiang Battle Arena.
All teams that have passed the preliminary round will participate in this large qualifying round, and the top five teams in the standings will enter the next round of the final.
The final is the warm-up for the previously announced world championship preliminaries. It uses the same competition system, allowing five teams to enter an unknown secret realm and complete the corresponding exploration tasks to determine the champion.
The upcoming qualifying round is also divided into two parts, a single-player ring match and a multiplayer team match.
The ring match is in the form of a round-robin free-for-all. Anyone can come on stage to challenge the champion. After winning the battle, they will automatically become the next champion until they are defeated by a new challenger.
Taking into account the energy of the champion and the contracted pet, each pet can only fight three consecutive battles at most.
Defeating the champion will earn you 10 points, and successfully defending the ring will earn you 5 points. The champion can also challenge again after being defeated. Except for the three consecutive battles between pets, there are no other restrictions in the ring competition.
In addition, players who participate in the ring match will no longer be able to participate in subsequent team competitions.
Under these rules, how to decide the order of the contestants' events becomes very important.
Every team hopes to get as many points as possible in the competition while preserving the strength of its candidates for the team competition.
Taking all factors into consideration, except for some pets whose characteristics and skills are very suitable for team battles, it is more appropriate to send out strong players and try to gain points in the competition.
After arriving at the meeting room of the Battle Society, Mu Shuyue told Director Xiang Xun and Hai his analysis conclusions.
The two had similar opinions, and what they needed to consider now was the candidates for the competition.
"About this...just let me go to the competition alone." Mu Liuyue said.
Director Hai was slightly stunned. They did consider letting Mu Huoyue participate in the competition, but Scarecrow's [Malicious Taunt] was a skill that was very suitable for team battles, so they were a little hesitant about both plans.
Even if there was a plan to let Mu Huoyue participate in the ring competition, Director Hai had never thought of letting her defend the ring alone.
After all, the energy of humans and pets is limited. No matter how powerful Mu Liuyue is, it is impossible for him to guard it from beginning to end by himself.
The winner of the team competition can get 100 points, which is equivalent to successfully defending the championship 20 times. This is an almost impossible number of battles to complete. Even if all three of Mu Shuyue's pets are on the field, without additional means of recovery, they can only play 9 games.
The prerequisite for participating in the ring competition is to form tactical complementarity with other team members. If participating alone, it would be more appropriate to let Mu Huoyue participate in the team competition.
Director Hai expressed his thoughts, but Xiang Xun fell silent after hearing them.
He touched his chin delicately and asked, "Come to think of it, Director Hai, you may not know that Hiiragi has contracted a fourth pet, and that the Pai Ya Bing has evolved into a Nightmare Knight of the advanced imperial race."
During daily training, Mu Huoyue sent out Frost Night Fighting Wolf and Night Demon Scarecrow much more frequently than the other two. After all, the growth levels of the other two pets were one too high and one too low, and it was difficult for both to absorb experience from this level of combat training.
Every time Director Hai came to the battle club to supervise the battle, he saw these two, which caused his judgment of Mu Huiyue's strength to remain unchanged from a few months ago.
Hearing Xiang Xun's words, Director Hai was stunned.
The fourth pet...Mu Chuyue has already been promoted to a level 6 beastmaster?
There is also the higher imperial race... the nightmare knights of the higher imperial race!
Master Hailin, the director of the Combat Department, did not pay close attention to new publications in the academic world. He knew that the Dark Attribute Research Institute had developed new fruits, and that a lot of D- and C-level samples had been delivered from the secret realm belonging to the Affairs Bureau recently. Students were allowed to redeem them using school points within the school.
Wait... Dark Attribute Research Institute?
Could it be that the advanced emperor race reported in the previous academic conference is also the result of a new type of fruit? !
Director Hai was completely shocked. It was not his fault that he did not pay attention to the changes in his students in time. It was really that Mu Liuyue's growth was too amazing.
It is simply an unimaginable fantasy that a freshman can breed a contracted pet of a high-level imperial race on his own.
However, now, this unimaginable student is standing right in front of him. She is a student of Jingzhou University and the main force of the Jingzhou University team.
Thinking of this, Director Hai's mood suddenly brightened.
"If I had a pet from the imperial race, I could indeed participate in the tournament alone..."
"I will get 100 points higher in the ring match than in the team match." Mu Huoyue said.
She wanted to participate in the tournament without giving it too much thought, mainly because it would allow her to fight as many times as possible.
The players who entered the national competition were not at the same level as those in the preliminary round. Most of them were excellent beastmasters who were evenly matched at this stage.
In Mu Chuyue's eyes, these are all walking mission rewards. If she can defend on the ring from beginning to end, how many points can she get and how many [Spiritual Spring Water Drops] can she obtain?
The rules of the competition require that a pet can only fight three consecutive games, but she has four pets, and each of them has recovery skills. In addition, there is the [Rest Hut] in the Beast Taming Space, so it is no problem for her to fight in a round-robin manner all day long.
"It's settled then. Mu Shuyue will compete in the competition." Director Hai nodded with a smile and looked at the president of the fighting club.
"Xiang Xun, the list of people participating in the subsequent team competitions will be based on what we discussed before."
"Understood." He nodded, gathered the scarf he always carried with him, put away the documents on the table, and prepared to inform the participating members of the meeting results.
…
Three days later, the national competition officially began in the large-scale battle arena of the Jingjiang City Beastmaster Association.
The Jingzhou University team was led by President Xiang Xun, followed by Vice President Zheng Lin, two third-year members of the Combat Department, one second-year member, and three first-year members.
Except for Mu Liuyue herself, the rest of the first graders were acquaintances she knew, namely Wen Li and Chen Jiashu.
During this period, the planting plan of [Miracle Potential Fruit] has begun to show results, providing a lot of C-level and D-level potential fruits for the students of Jingzhou University, and the beastmasters in the battle club have all improved to varying degrees.
Xiang Xun was the biggest surprise among them. His Red Feather Eagle successfully evolved into the [Fierce Wind Eagle] of the monarch race not long ago, and the Flower Mantis also formed a new combination skill under the effect of the Potential Fruit, combining [One-Word Slash] with [Swiftness] to turn it into a truly invisible instant kill skill.
This will also become the direction for further evolution of the core talents of the Flower Mantis. Once the skills are integrated and evolved, it will be able to break through the racial limits and become the pet of the imperial race.
This will be a rather long process, but Xiang Xun is confident about it.
The first two days of the main competition were single-player arena matches. Shortly after everyone arrived at the competition venue, Mu Huiyue changed into the Jingzhou University team uniform, stretched his body, and prepared to go on stage.
"Come on, Hiiragi!" Wen Li cheered her on from behind.
As for Mu Shuyue's arrangement to challenge the entire arena match alone, Wen Li was not surprised at all. With Shuyue's strength and control over the battlefield, he might be able to defend the match from the beginning to the end!
The large-scale battle arena under the Jingjiang City Beast Tamer Association is the largest and most fully-equipped beast tamer battle venue in the capital. It is divided into a main arena and two sub-arenas, and can accommodate more spectators than the commercial battle arena of the [Xingyao Battle Club].
The defending match is held in the most watched main arena. The champion occupies the left bank, making it convenient for the challenger to enter from the right bank connecting the backstage and the audience seats.
This is the most watched beast taming competition in Dayan in the year. Before the competition even started, the audience had already packed the venue. Various banners supporting favorite teams could be seen, and the cheers were getting louder and louder.
The single-player defense competition is about to begin. Contestants who are willing to become the first champion can go on stage by themselves.
Becoming the champion means that one will face a constant stream of challengers, and being the first to go on stage means that one will not be able to obtain the 10 points for successfully challenging the champion, which is quite disadvantageous in terms of the competition system. Therefore, the truly capable contestants are waiting and watching the situation, and no one takes action for a while.
Only one person did the opposite. He walked onto the stage with a relaxed look and took the position of the left bank champion.
