Nine Star Burden

 …

With the end of the last game, the national top 16 has been decided.

However, the advanced students were asked to wait in place and were not allowed to leave.

Under the guidance of the competition staff, the defeated students and their leading teachers left the People's Stadium one after another.

The number of people in the auditorium was less than 50 people, but this time, half of them left, making the stadium even more empty.

Competition, ranking, all these are really cruel.

The winner and the loser are decided on the same field, and the winner and loser will even pass each other in the audience, facing different fates and leading different lives.

When two completely opposite emotional states of loss, depression, joy, and celebration appear in the same picture, such extreme contrast is really dazzling.

Since ancient times, there is nothing to say about success and defeat.

But if you were the person involved, would you really be so magnanimous and immediately let go?

Jiang Xiao watched a teacher leading the team comfort the frustrated students, and slowly exit the stage with his arms around the students' shoulders. The lonely figures of the two made Jiang Xiao sigh.

Jiang Xiao felt that there were fewer teachers leading the team from the Imperial Capital Xingwu. This time, all three members of the Imperial Capital Xingwu advanced, so no one left the stage. But what if one person fails and two succeed?

With Teacher Fang Xingyun's character, he should comfort the student who failed, and return to the hotel with the loser, right?

Jiang Xiao silently watched the group of people leave and disappeared into the player tunnel.

But after half of the auditorium was emptied, the voice of the staff came from below the auditorium: The top sixteen contestants!

With that said, the staff clapped their hands, attracting everyone's attention.

The staff member said loudly: You have a two-hour rest period. During this period, you are not allowed to leave your seat. If you have any situation, you can ask us for instructions. We will try our best to accommodate reasonable requests.

We will provide lunch for everyone in a while. The dining place is here. Allocate your time. After the meal, you can rest, or you can warm up with the company of the staff, but any form of battle is prohibited.

Jiang Xiao froze for a moment, what does this mean?

16 into 8? Start the game directly in two hours?

Since the competition has been kept secret, everyone does not know how this time is arranged. The only thing that is certain is that the national team selection competition is a 1V1 knockout competition strictly in accordance with the World Cup competition standards.

But in Jiang Xiao's thinking, at least tomorrow will be 16 into 8.

Staff: Anyone! Don't use any form to disclose any information about the game to the outside world. Remember this, I think you have come here, and you don't want to be kicked out of the national team for violating discipline.

Everyone, if you feel unwell, or are injured in the battle just now, please report to us immediately. We have the most professional team and will guarantee your next game status.

While the staff was still notifying, several staff members had already walked in pushing the dining cart.

For a moment, the participating students looked at each other in blank dismay.

Is it so difficult to go to the cafeteria to eat? Do you have to sit in the auditorium to eat?

Why don't you go to the locker room and sleep for a while? Do you have to rest here?

However, Jiang Xiao didn't feel that much. I believe that all the students here are not rich. After all, they are all people who have been tempered in the harsh different-dimensional space. This level of sleeping in the open air is nothing at all.

It's just that people don't understand such a request.

Staff: The draw ceremony will start on time after 2 hours, and then the promotion match will start directly, and the winner will be directly selected into the national team squad.

The losers should not be discouraged. Among the eight players in the loser's bracket, two will qualify as substitutes. Under certain conditions, the substitutes can replace the top eight starters.

Even though that is the case, everyone is not interested.

Judging from the list of members of the national team's single match in the past, the so-called substitutes are no different from mascots and have no qualifications to play at all. Only when the starting players have an accident before the World Cup can they automatically fill their seats.

Such situations are rare, especially with the company of a top treatment team, and the possibility of a starter withdrawing from the game is extremely slim.

But despite this, if the eight members of the loser group are given a chance to advance to the big list, I believe these star warriors will work hard to fight for it.

Even if the national team list is put aside, star fighters will not allow themselves to be perfunctory or give up when dealing with any ordinary game.

At least the star fighters present here are all cultivated by the country. Under the ideological education of training for war and living for victory, some concepts have been deeply ingrained.

Oh~ Two meat and two vegetables. Jiang Xiao flipped through the lunch box and found that the dishes were similar, so he took out a box and took a chicken leg...

He couldn't help but licked his lips, he was indeed hungry.

Just as Jiang Xiao was about to start with chopsticks, he felt something strange in the atmosphere.

Jiang Xiao looked up and looked around, and found that the students were all looking this way, and the chattering staff below also stopped, looking in Jiang Xiao's direction helplessly.

Fang Xingyun hurried over, grabbed Jiang Xiao's chopsticks, and raised his hand to the staff apologetically.

Staff: Good luck to everyone.

Don't eat too much, it will affect the state of the game. After the staff finished speaking, Zhao Wenlong began to persuade, It's already one o'clock in the afternoon. After eating, you may feel sleepy.

Jiang Xiao directly tore a mouthful of the chicken leg: I was sleepy and just went to sleep, why did you take a cup of tea?

Zhao Wenlong looked serious, and said in a deep voice, Hunger keeps me fighting.

Jiang Xiao was silent for a while, and then he choked out a sentence: Hunger made me lose my mind.

Zhao Wenlong: ...

The contestants have all kinds of habits. Some students really refuse to eat like Zhao Wenlong, and of course some like Jiang Xiao eat extravagantly. For example, the Southwest singled out Wang Xingyan!

The bald man was eating in full swing, Jiang Xiao became more and more appetizing as he looked at it, so he ate two lunch boxes abruptly. As for the big bald head...five servings were eaten.

To be honest, Jiang Xiao can always come into contact with competitions and the like, but such group recess activities give Jiang Xiao a very fresh feeling.

Many students closed their eyes in their seats and rested their minds. An hour before the start of the game, they asked the staff for instructions and went to the preparatory activities to ensure their fighting status.

There is no doubt that there will be at least eight games in a while, and the players in the last few games may be spectators sitting in the stands for a period of time. Maybe the students really need activities.

Since he didn't have a mobile phone, Jiang Xiao specially told Teacher Fang to wake himself up 20 minutes before the lottery ceremony.

With the help of the artificial alarm, Jiang Xiao slept comfortably this time. After going to the bathroom with the staff to wash his face, he was much more energetic and quickly returned to the venue to exercise.

In the Ruins of Disaster Shadow, Kyuubi never took a break. He thought in his heart that next time he restocks here, he should bring a clock, so that he doesn't need to bother Mr. Fang to be an artificial alarm. Kyuubi Jiang Xiao can be awakened in his mind.

However, there is no sparring master here, and Kyuubi is a little lonely. He has been sitting cross-legged on the ground for a long time, slowly digesting and absorbing the saber skills from synaesthesia. The absolutely unexpected usage method opened up the possibilities of a new world for him. door.

It's a pity that Nine Tails doesn't have Qingmang. Although his own skill level is enough to support him to complete any form of knives, but with the help of Qingmang, it will undoubtedly be even more powerful.

Hey... When will my trumpet also have a star map?

Time flies,

In a blink of an eye, the staff invited the six-year-old child up again.

Apparently, the child's freshness has passed, it seems that he is tired of playing this kind of game, and he is not as happy as he was in the morning. He pouted his mouth, and grabbed each ball quickly.

The first game, No. 77!

Xie Yan stood up and raised his right fist wrapped in a black bandage.

Some students secretly prayed in their hearts, but don't encounter this evil spirit.

Battle...No. 12! Along with the staff's voice, Jiang Xiao even heard some long breaths.

No. 12 was a male student of medium build, but he didn't show anything. He raised his hand to indicate that he had no objection.

Second session, number 58! Upon hearing the number, all the students in the arena moved again.

Come to the round of 16, everyone is a master, but there is also a distinction between masters and masters.

Obviously, Mingming, the No. 58 agent in the same city... is the student most people would not want to meet.

Fight...No. 61! The staff unscrewed the ping-pong ball from the child and revealed the cross-section.

My day... A young man raised his hands involuntarily, but it wasn't to confirm that he had no objection, nor was it to admit defeat and surrender, but the kind of subconscious body movements when he was very helpless.

Some people are secretly happy, some are snickering, but some are secretly regretful.

Hou Mingming was the one who secretly regretted it, and reason prevented her from doing things like challenging Jiang Xiao off the court, but for Hou Mingming, the sooner she had a real fight with Jiang Xiao, the sooner she would be able to end her Wish!

To be honest, in terms of Mingming's personality and past performance, she is really able to bear it, and she really can't wait.

Scene 3, No. 81! The staff shouted. In the auditorium, the bald man Xing Yan stood up abruptly. He looked at the crowd in the audience.

The overwhelming coercion swept over, and Xing Yan was majestic, domineering and fierce.

There were only a dozen people in total, and with his beast-like eyes, he could easily tell which one was the coward and which one was the opponent.

It was obvious that he had already made a preemptive strike and overwhelmed everyone with momentum. At least some players avoided his gaze.

Battle... The staff took the ping pong ball, unscrewed it, and said loudly, No. 57!

for a while,

Everyone looked to the rear left.

Jiang Xiao raised his right hand, indicating that he had no objection.

And when Xing Yan saw that the opponent was Jiang Xiao, he was stunned...

Seeing that Xing Yan's ferocious expression turned into stunned, he rubbed his bald head with one hand, and muttered: Ge Laozi...

How could it be this kid! ?

This kid is so... purely crooked!

poisonous...
