Su Yu and Song Qinghuan advanced to the quarterfinals.
The entire Northwest Theater Command could no longer contain their excitement.
On the street, someone was shouting the two people's names while raging.
"Top 8!!! This year, our Northwest Theater Command has two teams in the top 8!!"
Many people rushed into the streets in excitement, unable to contain their emotions.
Everyone remembers very clearly that the last time they achieved such a result was 23 years ago.
Every household in the Northwest Theater Command was even happier than during the Spring Festival.
In comparison.
The people in the Southwest Theater Command appeared dejected.
They never expected that they, who were in the top four last year, would be eliminated in the round of sixteen this year.
And the team that eliminated them was the Northwest Theater Command, which had once struggled to secure a single victory.
The stark contrast between the two events left the stadiums in various cities of the Southwest Theater Command silent for a long time.
The competition was divided into eight rounds, consisting of sixteen matches.
Su Yu, Hao Zhiming, and Song Qinghuan advanced to the next round.
In the next five matches, Wu Linlin, Yuan Hengjing, Yang Wenxian, Fu You, and Gao Xi successively won and advanced to the top eight.
As one genius after another demonstrates their abilities.
As everyone has noticed, the level of those who were at least in the top four in previous years is now almost the same in this year's top eight.
Moreover, Lin Yan, Bu Shiming, Su Yincheng, and Yao You, who have already been eliminated, would have had the strength to be among the top eight or even close to the top four last year.
The title of "Era of Prodigies" is not just a figure of speech.
Despite their overall strength being so formidable, three individuals still managed to crush their way to the next round.
This has made everyone even more excited for the upcoming quarterfinals.
The draw for the quarterfinals.
This round, finally, there's no more of that damned protection sign for the upper-ranking area.
The draw was completely disrupted, and players could even meet in the same war zone.
This brought a sigh of relief to many viewers in the war zone.
In this way, at least the probability of encountering Su Yu is equal.
With a powerful boss in the lower ranks, the protection tokens in the upper ranks feel more like a punishment.
Each major war zone is praying that their top scorer or runner-up will draw a favorable lot.
People in the Northwest Theater were also praying that Song Qinghuan and Su Yu would not meet prematurely.
Several people went up on stage to draw lots. Apart from Su Yu and Song Qinghuan, the other six of the eight prodigies subconsciously looked at Qiao Qiao.
Wei Yikun held the jade tube, but none of the others made a move.
Su Yu: "Shall I go first?"
Everyone took a step back in unison.
Su Yu stepped forward to draw a lot, and the jade slip displayed the number "1".
Immediately afterwards, Song Qinghuan stepped forward to draw lots.
Below the stage, Li Cheng'an clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on the jade slip in Song Qinghuan's hand.
In the past, he might have hoped that Song Qinghuan would draw number one.
This ensures that the Northwest Theater Command will at least secure one spot in the top four.
But things are different now!
Song Qinghuan also demonstrated the strength of a top-four contender.
If the draw had been a bit better, a doubles semi-final appearance for the Northwest Theater would have been within reach!
Li Chengan stood nervously on the sidelines.
In the stadiums of the Northwest Theater Command, everyone was praying that Song Qinghuan would not meet Su Yu prematurely.
Compared to guaranteeing a spot in the top four, they would much rather see the Northwest's youth defeat other prodigies and advance to the top four!
“4”
The jade slip displays numbers.
"Sigh~"
"yeah!!!"
"Holy crap, this is a great deal!!"
Inside the Hall of War, some sighed, while others rejoiced.
Song Qinghuan patted her chest and smiled sweetly at Su Yu.
They didn't encounter Su Yu, and they weren't even in the same war zone.
She has another chance to meet Su Yu in the finals!
The two finished drawing lots.
Gao Xi strode forward and quickly took out a jade slip.
The jade slip displays the number "2".
He breathed a sigh of relief, but then his worries returned.
He didn't meet Su Yu in the quarterfinals, but they will definitely meet in the semifinals.
"My second-place finisher!!" Gao Xi wailed inwardly.
His expression was completely undisguised.
The audience laughed.
"What exactly happened between Gao Xi and Su Yu during the training camp? It seems like Gao Xi really didn't want to run into him."
"Hilarious! Gao Xi's expression... she breathed a sigh of relief, but wasn't completely relieved!"
"To be fair, they are both geniuses, but Gao Xi is intimidated before the battle even begins. Tsk tsk tsk, I don't have a high opinion of him."
"They don't need your approval. Just wait and see. There's definitely a reason behind Gao Xi's expression."
"As one of the pride of our country, he enjoys the best resources. What? Can't we have higher expectations of him?" A man in the audience suddenly became agitated.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people looked at him as if he were a fool.
"oh."
"So Gao Xi ate your family's rice."
“The elite enjoy the best resources. You can extend your invitation to them. If you’re so capable, then you go for it.”
There were all sorts of voices in the audience.
On the arena, all the prodigies scoffed at the man's words.
As a martial artist, one must have a competitive spirit that constantly strives for improvement, while also recognizing the gap between oneself and reality.
Otherwise, they're just brainless idiots who would only be good food for the enemy on the battlefield.
It's not just Gao Xi who doesn't want to meet Su Yu.
The remaining few people all didn't want to meet him before the finals.
There was no other reason than that they saw absolutely no chance of winning.
Even after undergoing targeted training at the four-school training camp, Hao Zhiming still didn't want to run into Su Yu at this moment.
He was the fourth to draw a lot, and his number was "3".
Hao Zhiming smiled slightly, then fixed his gaze directly on Su Yu.
That implies something like, "See you in the finals."
"Hao Zhiming, we're still here," Wu Linlin said with a smile.
She stepped forward to draw a lot, and the jade slip showed the number "4".
Upon receiving this result, the remaining three all wore bitter expressions.
Fu You, Yang Wenxian, and Yuan Hengjing stepped forward one after another.
The groups for the quarterfinals have been officially determined.
In the upper bracket, Su Yu will face Yang Wenxian, and Gao Xi will face Yuan Hengjing.
In the lower bracket, Fu You will face Hao Zhiming, and Wu Linlin will face Song Qinghuan.
The competition between the eight strongest talents in China has officially begun.
After a short rest.
In the first match, Yang Wenxian faced off against Su Yu.
Su Yu stood up, and the other prodigies from the Northwest Theater waved towels to cheer him on.
On the other side, Yang Wenxian, who had gone back to the lounge to rest, made her appearance.
As soon as she stepped out of the passage, she instantly attracted the attention of the entire audience.
She always dressed conservatively and never made any effort to dress up.
At this moment, her face was adorned with beautiful makeup, and her battle suit perfectly showcased her figure.
Those incredibly alluring eyes were so captivating that no one dared to meet their gaze.
It's as if your soul will be taken away the moment you make eye contact.
At the Northwest Theater Command headquarters, Song Qinghuan narrowed her eyes and suddenly sensed a dangerous aura.
He hasn't said anything yet.
Beside her, Qiao Qiao opened her mouth and said bluntly, "Is she trying to seduce our captain?"
Song Qinghuan was taken aback, then her narrowed eyes immediately opened, and she corrected her, "Qiao Qiao, don't say that. Yang Wenxian is just trying to fully demonstrate the characteristics of her superpower."
Qiao Qiao nodded: "But Yang Wenxian is really beautiful!"
"That's exactly what she tricked you into, wasn't it!"
“Yeah, I can’t bear to eliminate such a pretty girl,” Qiao Qiao replied.
