There was nothing much to say about the preliminary process. After a total of twenty days of hard work, a total of eight teams that could represent a country's top combat capabilities emerged and gained the semi-qualification to enter the semi-finals.

Why is it said to be semi-qualified? Because if you really want to participate in the semi-finals, you still need to compete with the semi-seeded team that has received the invitation letter, that is, the team of fighters in the original book. Only then can the winner officially enter the global tour semi-finals.

Needless to say, the result was that seven of the eight teams were directly eliminated by their opponents who had trained for more than a year and had on average comprehended more than 60% of their absolute power.

As for the remaining team, the team that was supposed to compete with the Hungry Wolf Legend team was defeated by another team that got the invitation letter from nowhere due to the absence of Terry and Andy. rematch.

Afterwards, as an appeasement, the organizers took the initiative to use part of the money as a reward for winning the championship in each country.

Then three days later, these eight teams gathered in Tokyo, Japan, to participate in the draw for the rematch.

They were the ones who qualified for the Japanese side in the original work, and the Japanese team was led by Kyo Kusanagi.

A female fighter team composed of King, Mai Shiranui, and Kasumi Toudo who qualified for the British competition.

The extreme flow team led by Ryo Itazaki has qualified for the United States.

Obtained special qualifications from Brazil. A Brazilian mercenary team led by Liana.

The superpower team led by Zhen Yuanzhai has qualified for the competition in China.

The South Korean team led by Kim Ka-pan won the all-Korean victory with little effort.

And the Yagami team led by Yagami An, which won the right to participate in Europe with a decisive advantage.

and the ‘i’ team, which finally received special qualifications through French officials.

Under the gaze of the audience and tracked by cameras set up around them, the eight teams walked out of the special passage of the stadium and entered the stadium.

"Tsk, I didn't expect the 'i' team to be them." Ito Cheng, who was hidden in the crowd, looked at the appearance of the team members composed of unfamiliar faces in the participating teams and couldn't help but chuckled.

The team was a team of two men and one woman. Two of the men were tall and wearing camouflage military uniforms like American soldiers. And all-black trousers and tight-fitting short-sleeved T-shirt. They all have short golden hair, facial features that are much deeper than Asians, blue eyes, and solemn faces. His whole body exuded a temperament similar to that of a regular army soldier.

But the woman in the team was completely different from them. Not only is she slim and tall. Even the dress is very distinctive, a sky blue Chinese cheongsam with high side lines and long hem, and some strange patterns on the surface. The long legs wrapped in brown thick stockings are faintly exposed. She has fair skin and black hair, and her long black hair is wrapped in two small balls of white cloth on her head like a bun.

Almost as soon as he saw her dress, Ito Cheng's mind instinctively thought of the other party's name - Chunli.

By analogy, Ito Cheng also recognized another person in her team - Gu Lie, a former American soldier who was also a Street Fighter character and had also joined Interpol. Like Chun-Li, he was responsible for tracking down Vega!

But for the last person, Ito Cheng couldn't find his memory. It seemed that he was a fighting master randomly pulled out from within Interpol to make up for it.

"It's just that Interpol shouldn't be looking for trouble with the big drug lord Vega. Why did they come to participate in the King of Fighters tournament? Is it because of the boss team?" Ito Cheng, who had some future in his heart, secretly guessed.

In fact, this is exactly the case.

As members of the boss team, whether it is Giese, Clausa, or Piccolo, they are all well-known big bosses in the European underground world. They are deeply loved by people such as Interpol, FBI, MI5, and whatnot. Lingu Organization's attention, so whenever they have any trouble, these organizations will be in a state of panic, let alone when the three of them get together to do something collectively.

Therefore, in order to figure out the reason why they got together, Interpol urgently brought together Chunli and Gulie who were chasing Vega, plus another guy who served as a martial arts instructor in the organization, and used government rights to send them away. Enter the fighting tournament and investigate the truth up close!

As for the people from other organizations, because they are all agents, it is okay to have one person, and it is a big deal to give up, but to have three masters who can challenge the world at once, it will be painful for a while in any organization, and even more Not to mention that it will be exposed to the eyes of the people all over the world, and let them become Mingqi from now on. For them, it is very difficult to train talents. The price is really too high, so they still maintain the basic style of their organization and conduct investigations in secret. , I won’t join in the conspicuous excitement.

However, what makes Chunli and the others more regretful is that until now, they have not been able to enter the boss team in the venue. Obviously, the invitations they received should be at the same level as Ito, and they were all invitations that could directly qualify for the finals, so they did not come to participate in the semi-final draw ceremony.

"Thanks to the Hell Band for their passionate performance, the lottery ceremony has now officially begun." After another three or four minutes, the music that filled the stadium stopped, and a male voice came out from the radio.

Yes, it's the band Hell.

In order to increase their popularity, Ito Cheng directly used the means of relationship to send the Hell Band to the King of Fighters Conference, allowing them to perform on stage and sing as warm-up performers before the start of the rematch.

Of course, it’s not just the Hell Band. Before the finals to compete for the championship begins, Athena, who is already vaguely known as the little queen of Asian beauties, will also sing on stage to warm up before the meeting.

"We invite the Japanese team."

The words fell. Nikaido Benimaru, who debuted as a model and loves to show off, walked out of the team and walked onto the platform from the small steps on the side. The audience, especially the female fans who came to see him, screamed and exclaimed. In the middle of the sound, he waved to the crowd very proudly, then reached into the lottery box and pulled out a small ball.

"Number six."

A woman dressed very sexy, like a beauty in a traffic jam, walked to the side of a large whiteboard with branching lines drawn on it, and wrote the name of the Japanese team under the corresponding black line.

"We invite a team of female fighters." The host shouted again.

Then she dressed up in a red women's suit. King, who looks very androgynous, walks out of the team. When he came to the platform, he simply reached out and pulled out a number from the box.

"Number three."

The female staff member, who showed her waist, legs and arms, wrote the names of the team of female fighters on the whiteboard.

"We invite the extreme flow representative team."

Itazaki Ryo walked out of the team and stepped onto the platform.

Speaking of the name "Extreme Flow Team", it actually arouses hatred. You must know that the plot of The King of Fighters is not the only thing that exists in this world now. There are also Street Fighter characters appearing. Just like Akuma, Ken, and Dan are all serious extreme fans. Itazaki Ryo directly using the name of extreme style as the name of the team can certainly make the reputation of extreme style to the outside world, but it will also be due to the dispute between orthodoxy. This kind of thing brings out Ken, Dan and Akuma, the boss. It's a very lively thing to play in the gym or something like that.

But speaking of Ken and Dan, they were part-timers who teamed up with Honda to participate in the last King of Fighters tournament. Ito Shige remembers that they seemed to have been directly defeated by Kyo Kusanagi during the pre-selection. As for why they didn’t win this year’s tournament. When it comes to qualifications, it’s unknown.

After all, there are too many reasons.

Just like this, one after another, all teams drew their numbers.

They are: No. 1 - Korean representative team, No. 2 - Extreme style representative team, No. 3 - Female fighter team, No. 4 - Super power team, No. 5 - 'i' team, No. 6 - Japanese team, No. 7 - Brazilian mercenary team, No. 8 - Yagami team.

"Let's draw the competition venue." Just when everyone thought the draw was over, the host's voice sounded again.

"The venue selection rule is very simple, that is, between two rival teams, choose the capital of the country represented by one of the team members as the home court of the game, and the method is to guess a coin."

The host briefly introduced the venue selection method.

"Next, please invite the captain of the Korean team and the captain of the extreme flow team to come on stage."

Jin Jiapan and Banzaki Liang adjusted their Taoist uniform belts one after another, and both stepped onto the platform.

"Both sides, the one who guesses correctly can choose a familiar venue as the competition venue." After the two of them stood still on the platform, the host standing between them explained the selection rules again.

"Please choose, two of you."

"Front." Jin Jiapan said unceremoniously.

"Then I'll do the opposite." Itazaki Ryo said nonchalantly.

The supporter nodded and took out a brass coin with a face value of fifty from his pocket. After letting the two people confirm that there was no problem, he raised his hand and threw the coin into the sky.

During the flight, the coin quickly reached the highest point, and then quickly fell downwards.

The host reached out and slapped the coin on the back of his hand. That extremely fast speed instantly revealed that he also had good skills.

Then, the host moved his right hand away from the coin.

In an instant, a pattern with fifty-two Arabic numerals appeared in front of Jin Jiapan and Itazaki Ryo. At the same time, it was also conveyed to the audience and the audience in front of the TV outside the venue through the live camera footage.

"It's the front, let Captain Pan of the Jin family choose." the host said.

"I choose Seoul." Jin Jiapan said without hesitation.

After finishing speaking, the female staff member posted a sign on the blank whiteboard between the names of the Korean team and the extreme flow team, representing the selection of the competition venue.

"Now we invite the captain of the female fighter team and the captain of the superpower team to come on stage." After Jin Jiapan and Ryo Itazaki left, the host announced loudly again.

Then the king was too lazy to show his face, so Athena, who had obtained the right to represent, stepped onto the platform.

"Athena, I love you!"

"Athena, look inside."

"Athena!"

Seeing Athena, there was naturally another loud noise in the venue.

The host ignored the shouts of the audience. After briefly explaining the rules again, he raised his hand and tossed the coin.

This time, Athena guessed the coin and set the venue in Mount Lu, China.

Next are the 'i' team represented by Chun Li and the Japanese team represented by Nikaido Benimaru, as well as the Brazilian mercenary team represented by Lianna, and the blonde beauty Mai Zhuo who is wearing a black and white long skirt style secretary uniform. Team Yagami.

Among them, Nikaido Benimaru defeated Chunli and set the venue in Japan's Sixth Edition---well, this was Nikaidou Benimaru's choice without authorization. Lianna passed Metropol and set the venue in Brazil.

Afterwards, the host briefly explained the rules of the competition and announced the end of the entire lottery ceremony. Three days later, the competition between the Korean team and the extreme flow team and the 'i' pair and the Japanese representative team will be held.

The times were that morning and afternoon respectively.

"Let's go, Mai." King patted Mai Shiranui's shoulder, who had been a little absent-minded these past few days, sighed secretly, and said softly.

Of course she understands why Shiranui Mai is like this, and it's not all because she hasn't seen Andy. But King had nothing to do about it. He couldn't just tell her: Wu, let me tell you a very bad news. Your Andy died a year ago, and the murderer was his old enemy Jis. He couldn't say this, so until now, King had not told Mai Shiranui the truth in the spirit of being able to survive as long as he could.

"Oh." Mai Shiranui looked up again and glanced around at the members of each team who were sparsely walking out of the gym. After confirming that Andy was indeed absent, she responded with a sad face, and King and others who didn't know what was going on. Kasumi Toudo left the gym together.

Ten minutes later, near the stadium, there was a hotel specially designed to house these fighters.

"I'm going out for a moment." Yagami, who was wearing red trousers, a white long-sleeved shirt, and a coat with a white crescent moon painted on the back and long red airplane hair, stood up from the chair and walked towards the door. For the blond Mai Zhuo in the room, there is also Wei, who is also wearing a long-hem secretary uniform like Mai Zhuo, but the color of the shorts on her upper body has changed from white to red, and she has short brown hair. Si said.

"Remember to come back early." Mai Zhuo said.

Iori Yagami, who had already reached the door, didn't reply. He directly reached out to open the door and walked out.

"boom."

The doors closed together again.

"This guy." Wei Si frowned slightly and said with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

However, at this moment, the expressions of Mai Zhuo and Wei Si changed, and they looked at the spare part of the room with wariness on their faces... (To be continued...)
