Chapter 57 I think the champion will be Jiangling No. 1 Middle School

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Wait for the game to start. I will pay attention to your game."

Zheng Qin smiled, then turned and left the competition venue.

The two young men who followed Zheng Qin finally came to their senses, glanced at Yu Shao, memorized Yu Shao's appearance in their minds, then immediately trotted out and caught up with Zheng Qin.

"Brother Zheng, wait for us!"

One of the young men chased after Zheng Qin and asked, "The reason you came to this Go League is because of that guy named Yu Shao? Who is he?"

"Yeah, what do you mean by those two chess games?"

Another young man couldn't help but ask, "And you're waiting for him? What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for him to become a professional chess player?"

The two of them were now full of questions. Zheng Qin had not mentioned the two games of chess at the Shanhai Chess Hall to anyone, including them.

Zheng Qin did not answer their questions, but suddenly asked, "Didn't you ask me before which school I thought would win?"

"Hua Nan No. 3 Middle School?"

A young man asked doubtfully.

Although he and Zheng Qin both graduated from the Affiliated High School of South China Normal University, he had just heard that two students from South China No. 3 Middle School had studied in the dojo.

Emotionally, he certainly hopes that his alma mater, South China Normal University High School, will win the championship, but reason tells him that South China Normal University High School does not seem to have a chance of winning the championship.

Zheng Qin shook his head and said, "Although there are two players from Huanan No. 3 Middle School who were once teenagers who were preparing for the dan level, I think the champion...maybe Jiangling No. 1 Middle School will win."

Hearing this, the two were stunned for a moment.

This team competition is a best-of-three format, which means that if you want to win the team championship, you have to defeat one of the boys from South China No. 3 Middle School who is trying to get a dan.

The meaning of Zheng Qin's words is actually very clear.

He believed that Jiangling No. 1 Middle School could at least defeat one young player who was striving for a dan rank, otherwise, there would be no hope of winning the championship.

Thinking about Zheng Qin's attitude towards the high school student named Yu Shao and what he said to Yu Shao before...

"Did Zheng Qin lose to that high school student named Yu Shao?"

"Or did you lose two games of chess?"

They looked at each other and could see the shock in each other's eyes.

…………

At this time, inside the competition venue.

"Old Yu, he is your relative, right? Is he waiting for you to finish the game and go home for dinner together?"

Zhou De looked at Yu Shao and asked in confusion, "Why doesn't he pay attention to Huashi High School, but to you who is from another school? And what does he mean by those two games of chess?"

"Either a relative or an acquaintance."

Yu Shao made a few casual excuses and was unwilling to explain.

However, Chen Jiaming and Zhong Yufei seemed to realize something and looked at Yu Shao twice more.

Only Xu Zijin maintained a calm expression.

She knew the reason behind all this, and even witnessed the whole process of the two chess games in the chess hall.

Just then, the principal sitting in the referee's seat looked at his watch and stood up.

The principal cleared his throat and said, "It's almost time. We will now start drawing lots to divide the groups. The schools whose names are called will select a representative to come up and draw lots."

After hearing this, the originally noisy competition venue suddenly became quiet.

A sense of oppression and tension suddenly filled the air, as if it was the precursor to a storm.

Many people almost subconsciously looked in the direction of South China No. 3 Middle School, even Teacher Jin from Guangnan High School Affiliated to Guangnan University did the same.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, "I shouldn't be that unlucky..."

Teacher Jin glanced at Su Yiming, who was still curiously studying the timer, and couldn't help but muttered, "This kid is really relaxed."

Even he didn't want to meet South China No. 3 Middle School, because although he had absolute confidence in Su Yiming, he didn't have much confidence in the other two people.

The competition system of this Go league is the most brutal single-elimination tournament. There are a total of 16 participating schools, half of which will be eliminated in each round, and once eliminated, there is no chance of resurrection.

Therefore, even if Su Yiming can win, if the other two lose, they will most likely be eliminated in the first round, let alone the finals, and they won’t even be able to enter the top 8.

Their Guangnan High School's performance in previous competitions was rather average. This year they finally had a Go genius, Su Yiming, and they might even have a chance of winning the championship, but they must not fail in the first round.

There were more than one person who had the same idea as Teacher Jin. Almost everyone did not want to face South China No. 3 Middle School in the first round.

Only Chen Jiaming's mentality is completely different from everyone else.

At this moment, he even wished he could be drawn against South China No. 3 Middle School in the first round so that he could be proud of himself!

"Yu Shao, are you going to draw lots?" Chen Jiaming looked at Yu Shao and asked.

It was just a draw. Yu Shao didn't refuse and nodded.

Soon, after Jiangling No. 1 Middle School's name was read, Yu Shao walked to the referee's seat, reached into the lottery box, picked up the lottery paper, and was about to leave when he heard the principal whisper, "Come on!"

Yu Shao was slightly stunned, nodded slightly to the principal, and then left the referee's seat.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Which group?"

Zhou De came over curiously and asked.

Yu Shao opened the paper and saw a capital Chinese character "五" on it. He replied, "Five groups."

Not long after, the drawing was finally completed, and the principal held up a marker and asked loudly, "Who drew a group?"

"I am in a group."

A boy with acne all over his face raised his hand.

"Me too."

On the other side, a pretty girl also raised her hand.

The principal nodded, turned around and wrote down the schools the two people belonged to on a whiteboard with a marker, and then asked, "What about Group 2?"

Immediately, two more teenagers raised their hands.

Soon, the principal finally called out group five and asked, "Who is group five?"

"This way."

Yu Shao took the signature paper and raised his hand first.

"I'm in Group 5 too."

On the other side, a boy who also held the number five lottery ticket immediately raised his hand.

Chen Jiaming immediately looked over in the direction of the voice. From the uniform of the boy who also had the number five lottery ticket, he recognized the school they belonged to and said, "It's Jianghai No. 1 High School."

After saying this, Chen Jiaming actually felt a little regretful in his heart.

Why not South China No. 3 Middle School?

However, as a teacher, Chen Jiaming did not show this emotion, but said to Yu Shao and the other two: "They made it to the semi-finals last year. They are quite strong. We can't take it lightly."

Then, the principal asked about the draw results for the sixth and seventh groups.

In the end, even before the principal asked which two people were drawn into the eighth group, the expressions of the contestants and teachers leading the team from Jiangling No. 5 Middle School all became extremely ugly.

Because at present, the only ones who have not been asked for their signing numbers, besides Jiangling No. 5 Middle School, are Huanan No. 3 Middle School.

This means that the team they will face in the first round will definitely be South China No. 3 Middle School.
