Chapter 116: Magic City Team 1
o(*￣︶￣*)o
The phrase "huge crowds" seems insufficient to describe the excitement of the National Martial Arts Competition.
As the whole world!
Yes, although there are martial arts competitions all over the world, China is, after all, the most populous country and one of the countries with the best development of martial arts.
In terms of martial arts, they are not inferior to any other country, and in terms of population, they have an incomparable advantage. Therefore, the Chinese High School Martial Arts Competition is almost a world event.
At the beginning, it was the group stage, not an important match, but tickets were still hard to come by and the attendance was full.
Reporters and media from all over the world were chasing after them. Even Principal Zhang was interviewed by a reporter, which made Principal Zhang regret not dressing properly for the temperature.
Zhongzhou Province was lucky enough not to be assigned to the death group. Their Group D was only slightly stronger than Yun Province, but was on par with them - judging by their past performance.
"There's a genius in Yun Province who's known for her speed. Her name is Qian Jiayou. This is her video."
To minimize the risk of friendly matches—though not many provinces practice this, it has happened in the past. While such incidents are dealt with severely upon discovery—in serious cases, even the top local officials could be implicated—they still happen from time to time...
Later, the draw was held on the same day and the competition was held on the same day.
Even after the drawing of lots and the ceremony, it would be afternoon, and it would be impossible to finish all the games on the same day. There would always be no room for time.
As soon as the draw results came out, the accompanying staff began to look for the opponent's information. At this time, a round-faced girl appeared in front of Yang Zheng and others.
The girl was not tall, had big eyes, and looked a bit like an elementary school student. However, as she moved back and forth on the screen, the camera could hardly capture her movements, and slow motion was required to see her clearly.
"She is the descendant of the Butterfly Sect." Xiantian Shi Lin, who had followed Wang Hao, spoke up. "The Butterfly Sect of Yun Province has always been known for its lightness and agility."
"Their weakness is insufficient internal energy," said Wei Zhongke's teacher, Xie Qing. "In open areas, within the same realm, they're practically invincible—if they can't defeat an opponent, they can always escape. But in this arena, if their opponent can hold out for even a stick of incense, their speed will slow."
"But this is not easy to sustain." said Ni Jing's teacher Shi Jun.
Ni Jing frowned. She was also known for her flexibility and speed, but she was not born with it.
The group looked at Yang Zheng: "Xiao Zheng, you..."
Yang Zheng looked at Wang Hao: "What do you say?"
Wang Hao was startled. Yang Zheng said, "Aren't you used to using slow moves to defeat fast moves?"
Wang Hao nodded slightly.
"Are you sure about that?"
Wang Hao didn't speak immediately.
"Is there?"
"You can give it a try."
“I’m asking if you are sure.”
Wang Hao looked at her.
"Didn't you insist on beating me earlier? Why is it that beating me is enough, but beating others is not enough? Or is it that you can't do it anymore after that time?"
!!!
Wang Hao's eyes widened, and the others were also a little stiff for a moment.
This, this... Everyone knows you're trying to provoke people... but what you said... is so strange...
Wang Hao knew she was provoking him, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't say no!"
Yang Zheng nodded and said nothing more.
But Wei Zhongke and others looked at her.
In the past, martial arts competitions had to have a teacher who was in charge of the overall situation - personnel arrangements, tactical planning, there was always someone who had to take charge of the overall situation. However, five years ago, this position was removed, and it was supervised by the security bureaus of all parties and was not allowed to exist.
The reason was to train the organizational skills of martial artists. This requirement was criticized at first, but soon, the voices died down.
Yang Zheng had never participated in the national competition before and didn’t know about it, but now that he heard about it, he quickly understood it.
These students who can participate in the martial arts competition are likely to be able to enter the innate realm, and once they enter the innate realm, they will face heretics and infected people.
Yes, most of the time it is organized, but there are also many emergencies. At this time, the warriors have to judge for themselves how to deal with the enemy.
Yang Zheng and his team also did not have a chief instructor. At this time, everyone looked at Yang Zheng. Although everyone felt that she might not be that reliable, she was the most powerful here.
Yang Zheng raised his eyes and said, "I'm the last one."
Ni Jing said: "Are you sure?"
The last one is also the most stressful.
In martial arts competitions, the final result is always the deciding factor. Even if the first four players lose, as long as the last player defeats all opponents, he or she wins.
In other words, the people at the front can lose, but the last person cannot lose.
Yang Zheng was the strongest player here, so there was nothing wrong with him being last. However, there were other arrangements. For example, putting the strongest player first to gain an advantage. Or putting two of the strongest players in a row to instantly defeat each other. In this case, Ni Jing felt that Yang Zheng should be behind Wang Hao. That way, even if Wang Hao lost, Yang Zheng would immediately take over and have a high probability of defeating Qian Jiayou.
Of course, she had no objection if Yang Zheng wanted to be last, as she just wanted to see how well she handled the matter.
Yang Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Guess."
…
Ni Jing's eyes widened, and Yang Zheng clenched his fist: "So, you guys try your best to fight."
!!!
In Yang Xiantian's opinion, she couldn't let her friends become too dependent, but her words had actually revealed a lot. However, when everyone looked at her, they didn't feel at ease at all.
Ni Jing and the others looked at each other, and then looked at each other again, and they all felt that they really had to fight hard.
The match between Wang Hao and Qian Jiayou was a tough battle. To be honest, Wang Hao's Baguazhang seemed to restrain Qian Jiayou, but this method of using slow to defeat fast is not really slow. Even if you don't know martial arts, you should know this.
This kind of slowness is actually about being the first to arrive after being struck. It seems slow, but in fact it is just a slow start, and then the opponent is forced to save or hide. Every move is actually carefully considered.
In comparison, Qian Jiayou had too much time for trial and error. She kept attacking Wang Hao from all sides. Twice, Wang Hao was hit by her. It was because her attack power was not too strong, otherwise Wang Hao would not be able to be dragged down.
But finally, we won.
Just as Xie Qing said, after a quarter of an hour, Qian Jiayou slowed down. Wang Hao seized the opportunity and defeated him with one blow, but his match ended here. He was really powerless to do anything further.
So even though Qian Jiayou lost, he still won them an innate advantage.
However, she was the only innate person in Yun Province, and the strongest one after her was only a ninth-level one. Wei Zhongke and him fought and both suffered losses.
In the third game, Ni Jing fought with the opponent on equal terms, and finally it came to the fourth game.
In the fourth match, the one from Zhongzhou Province was Shi Hao. He could be said to be the strongest fighter in Zhongzhou Province after Wang Hao and Yang Zheng, while no one from Yun Province could match him. The first match was a bit difficult for him, but the second match was like chopping melons and vegetables.
Yang Zheng did not move, and Zhongzhou Province won this battle.
In the subsequent group matches, Zhongzhou Province did not encounter any trouble. Although the group match schedule was tight, with a round every three days, Wang Hao and others had almost rested.
Of course, it would be difficult for them to rely on themselves, after all, Wang Hao was still injured. But at this time, the spiritual medicines in Zhongzhou Province were all provided to them for free. As long as they were not particularly scarce, they would have as much as they needed. They even had the high-level Qi and Blood Pills that Yang Zheng had taken earlier. Internal injuries could be treated with these herbs, not to mention external injuries.
Warriors have abundant Qi and blood, and strong recovery ability, so most external injuries can heal in two days.
In the end, Zhongzhou Province advanced as the first in the group. Yang Zheng did not make a move throughout the entire game.
In the round of 32, their opponent was Qiongdao. Qiongdao was not very strong and qualified as the second in the group, so they were easily defeated again.
However, Zhongzhou Province’s good luck only lasted so long. In the round of 16, they met the Magic City team.
Magic City!
It’s just that this is the place that no one wants to encounter.
The four first-tier cities have large populations and rich resources, and their martial arts levels are much higher than other places.
This can also be seen from their numbers - like other places, five students are selected from each province.
This is the case in Zhongzhou Province, Yun Province, and Qiong Island. Once we arrived in this Magic City, we were divided into teams!
It became Team One and Team Two!
The same is true for the imperial capital, as well as the demon capital and Pengcheng.
This matter also made other places very dissatisfied in the past, but there is nothing they can do because their strength lies here. The top three every year can be said to be fought over by these four first-tier cities, and the top five are basically the same, and it has expanded to the eight... Only then will it be possible for other provinces to come in.
In fact, the Zhongzhou Province that would encounter the Magic City can be expected. If it is not the Magic City, it is also the Imperial City, or the Demon City. They think that the unlucky ones are a team!
Although the two teams are evenly matched, in fact... Team One is still stronger than Team Two. Yes, both Team One and Team Two have three innate talents, but Team One has two innate talents who have reached the intermediate level.
Being able to break through the Xiantian level in high school is already a genius, and being able to reach the intermediate level is arguably the most brilliant of the geniuses. The Magic City team has two of them!
"Everyone has performed very well this time. Victory and defeat are common in the military..." Shi Lin hesitated for a moment after the draw results came out, but before he finished speaking, he saw Yang Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"Yang Zheng, what's the matter?" Shi Lin asked.
"Nothing, I'm just wondering, is there anyone here who is a military strategist?"
