Elf: I have a secret realm

Chapter 105 The Breakout Tournament Opens! (I wish friends in Sichuan safe)
January in the south of the Yangtze River is not considered severe cold, but the cold and wet wind blowing on the face is absolutely uncomfortable.

No wonder some people joked that "winter in the north is a physical attack, and winter in the south is a special attack."

The battlefield by the lake is a short distance from the house, Xia Shen and Yan Yan walked side by side on the stone path.

Yan Yan's pretty face flushed slightly, it was unknown whether it was blown by the wind or for some other reason.

Even though it was her first time alone since today, she became even more silent, staring at the road ahead, as if she was visiting someone else's house.

Xia Shen even felt that if he didn't speak, he might spend his whole life walking, and the two of them might not be able to communicate.

He coughed lightly and started the topic, "Our dad...ah no, what does your dad do, why is he so powerful?"

"Ah..." She didn't seem to notice Xia Shen's slip of the tongue, and she was stunned for a moment before replying: "Well, when he was young, he was the pioneer of the secret realm of the Huaguo Trainer Association, and he left his footprints in both the Hawaiian secret realm and the British secret realm. "

"Later. There was no opening of a large secret realm for a long time, so he was doing some elf research and opened a training hall by the way."

Xia Shen is silent, the pioneer of the secret realm. No wonder he is not in the list of previous heavenly kings, but has the strength of a heavenly king.

……

As the name suggests, the pioneers of the secret realm are those who are responsible for the land reclamation work at the first time when the new secret realm is opened.

They shoulder the mission of exploring and discovering new elves and new species in the secret realm, and they also bear the risk of being attacked by unknown wild elves at any time.

Bravery, vigilance, strength, curiosity about the unknown, fearlessness of danger, and love for elves. These are the most important characteristics of the pioneers of the secret realm.

If you want to become a pioneer of the secret realm, the strength of the seventh-dan career is the most basic primary selection condition.

Even so, the death rate for this profession is still frighteningly high.

But it is also the hard work of these pioneers that has created this vigorous and beautiful elf world.

……

Xia Shen felt a little emotional, he didn't expect his father-in-law to be such a great man.

"However, you must have rarely seen him when you were young."

Spending less time with family is also one of the necessary sacrifices in this profession.

"Well, my mother was also busy when I was young, and my sister and Ai Guanshi took me all the time. Later, I saw less and less time with my sister."

Yan Yan recalled that time with a little sadness on his face.

Xia Shen was silent, even such plain language could not conceal the loneliness of her meaning.

He didn't say any bastard words like "I'm better now", but just quietly took the girl's cold little hand.

At the moment of touching, the jade-like soft and delicate hand trembled imperceptibly.

Then, he took the initiative to put it in Xia Shen's warm and big hands.

Holding hands, they walked slowly on this seemingly endless path.

------

Three days later, Xia Shen bid farewell to his parents and Yan Yan, and went to Nandu with the school team to participate in the long-prepared Jiangnan Division breakout match.

The school specially rented a luxury minibus for the school team as their means of transportation for this expedition.

Nandu is not far from Zhijiang.

As the most important city in Jiangnan Province, and even in the south of China, Nandu has naturally hosted quite a few high-level elf battles.

Including the last World Cup a year ago.

Although there is more than one competitive event in this world, elf battles, the World Cup is not only for elf battles.

But the only ones that can use this as a code name without the prefix are the only ones.

The World Cup is held every six years. It is a carnival for all trainers all over the world and a feast for the whole people.

In a generally peaceful era, the ranking in the World Cup is a symbol of the overall strength of a country.

It is also easy to understand that the strength of top trainers in various countries not only represents military strength, but also reflects economic strength.

After all, to become a top trainer, which one spent less money in the training process?
……

As one of the few countries with the most complete inheritance, Hua Guo has always been one of the strong contenders for the championship.

But in recent years, the two most important secret realms have come to the west, causing several surrounding countries to rise rapidly.

Coupled with the fact that Huaguo has been underrepresented in recent years, Huaguo's rankings in recent World Cups have not been ideal.

Of course, this is only compared to the previous results that were basically either champions or runners-up. No matter how unsatisfactory they are, they must at least maintain the top six rankings.

As we all know, if we talk about the top six, it must be the sixth.

And this embarrassing result that fell short of standards was born in the last Nandu World Cup held at home.

Of course, it is impossible to blame a city for the lack of overall level of trainers in Huaguo.

So this year's Jiangnan Division breakout competition will still be held in Nandu.

Even with the glory of the World Cup, the venues used for the breakout match and the residences of the players were all built just before this World Cup, and they were the top-level existence.

After Xia Shen's personal experience, he concluded that the two-person apartment he and Xu Chong lived in was even more luxurious than their temporary residence in Dongdu University.

Because tomorrow is the opening game, the headmaster who led the team didn't rush to do emergency special training, but let them rest in the room.

After dinner, the headmaster summoned all the school team members for a final pre-battle meeting in the living room of his suite.

……

"Coach Zhang and I went to draw lots in the afternoon." The expression on the principal's face was not relaxed, "We have drawn a difficult opponent. The second seed of the group is the strongest Yancheng Middle School in the second pool."

The competition system of the breakout competition is the same as that of the ordinary cup competition, with a total of 32 schools, first the group stage, and then the knockout stage.

So many schools are divided into four grade pools, randomly drawn and combined, and divided into eight groups.

Zhijiang Middle School, as a team that represents the Jiangnan Division in the final round all the year round, is naturally the No. [-] seed.

The principal continued: "Coach Zhang and I have always emphasized to everyone that Yancheng Middle School is a dark horse this year. Their captain Zhang Yi's main elf, the Great Sword Ghost, is recognized as the top three elves in this year's singles. In addition, their starting doubles combination should not be underestimated."

"If we lose to Yancheng Middle School and become second in the group, then we may draw Nandu Middle School, which must be the first in the group, or the High School Affiliated to Haida University in the first round. Therefore, we must win this game! "

After speaking, the expressions of everyone present became serious.

The headmaster looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "However, the match against Yancheng Middle School is the last match, and we can't take it lightly in the two matches before that. Circled."

He glanced at everyone in the school team, "So tomorrow's opening match, we must win steadily. Wang Yiyi, your Boss Kedora will be the main player in the singles. Chusi's giant marsh monster and Xu Chong's Hu Di is the deputy general. The doubles are Chen Chuan's long-haired troll and Pan Yujie's fiery red fox."

This is the strongest and most stable lineup of the school team.

He paused, then turned his attention to Xia Shen, "As for the group arena, we decided to arrange for Chu Si's Lotte Kappa, Wang Yiyi's Metal Monster, and Xia Shen's Circle Bear to appear. Do you have any questions?"

(It would be cumbersome to write out the competition system in detail, so I posted it in the author's statement in this chapter.)
ps. Once again, I wish the book friends in Sichuan and surrounding areas safe!

　A total of three singles,

　　The winner of the main battle gets two points,

　　The victor of the lieutenant battle gets one point.

　　In a doubles match, the winner gets two points.

　　In a 3v3 group arena, the winner gets three points.

　　In each game, the same elf is only allowed to play once.
　　If Boss Kedora is the main player, he cannot participate in the group arena.

　　A simple calculation of points reveals that the group arena is very important.

　　As long as you score two points ahead and win the group arena, you can reverse.

　　You ask me why I designed it this way,
　　Of course, it is to give the hero a reasonable chance to appear on the stage and pretend to be aggressive.
