Check back in an hour.

——

Before the competition officially started, several administrative teachers and foreign team leaders took turns delivering speeches in front of the stage.

At the same time, teachers and students from the Foreign Languages ​​Department of Jinling University served as translators.

Of course, Kurosawa didn't put much thought into the opening ceremony.

The contents of the opening speech were basically meaningless cliches. Friendship comes first, competition comes second. This event is intended to promote exchanges between elf masters from various countries...

Kurosawa closed his eyes to adjust his condition. It was not until bursts of applause erupted in the venue that he opened his eyes belatedly and joined the crowd in applauding.

"here we go......"

"So nervous."

"I feel like those foreigners look quite strong and have sinister eyes. They are difficult to deal with."

There were some quiet discussions around Kurosawa.

The waiting seats on the sidelines are arranged uniformly according to regions.

The people around Kurosawa were all members of Jinling Academy. They were all young, and many were first-year students like Kurosawa.

In addition, there are the seven countries of the Southwest Alliance, Taixin, Zhuyue, Maine, Xindu...

As well as two other primary school teams from Haihua South.

Among the many "forces", the Jinling School has the largest number of landlords.

Kurosawa listened to the discussions of his peers around him, glanced at them, and said nothing.

The temperaments of the elf masters in the southwestern countries were different from the elf masters he had encountered before. Many of them had a somewhat sinister temperament, which may be related to the local culture and the dank and dense jungles.

But putting these aside, most people are probably not that strong.

Although the Jinling School is only one of the top schools in Haihua Kingdom, it has also brought together nearly one-third of the top geniuses, so its strength is not weak.

Even some "connected households" who came in through the recommendation of Earthly Branch members are stronger than most of their peers because their family conditions are better, and their parents or direct relatives often have powerful elf masters and have more abundant resources.

With the same talent, naturally those with more resources can go further.

Soon, the distribution of players in the first round was released.

Kurosawa looked at the messages on his phone.

"Tai Xinguo, Nonglan Chinawat."

Kurosawa got his wish and met a foreign opponent in the first round, a female elf master from Thailand.

There are eight arenas in the venue.

The arena is a circular venue with a radius of twenty meters, which is not too big.

Kurosawa had already fought in this kind of arena when he was in the Elemental Society, and it left a deep impression on him.

The four corners of this enclosed arena are isolated by four huge white pillars, and occasionally an aura similar to the secret realm of a meteor wafts out.

Just like the feeling in the Falling Star Training Ground, after the arena is fully opened, the elves' attribute energy will be sealed.

It can suppress the destructive power of the elf's attribute energy to approximately 20-30% of its original value.

Of course, it is said that this kind of arena can only compress the strength of high-level and lower-level elves. After reaching super level, the effect is extremely weak.

The game starts soon.

Kurosawa sat in the waiting area and waited while watching other people's matches.

The elf masters from the southwest countries did cause a lot of trouble to the elf masters from Haihua Kingdom at first.

It is different from the relatively comprehensive blessing of the mainstream mental training method in Haihua Kingdom.

Their methods of intervening in the battle are different. Some chant Buddhist scriptures silently, some use incantations, and some rely on training tools similar to bone staffs in their hands...

But we are still on the same journey, and the battle will eventually come back to the strength of the elves.

After the elves masters got used to their communication methods and fighting skills with the elves, they quickly adapted to the rhythm of the battle.

Kurosawa withdrew his gaze and looked at the time on the giant screen above his head.

It's almost my turn.

He stood up and walked slowly to a ring.

"Qiao Huai, you have been staring at him since just now, right? An acquaintance?"

At the waiting area, a young man in a blue sweatshirt turned to his companion and asked.

The Qiao Huai he spoke of was a man with shoulder-length hair, his eyes fixed firmly on a man wearing black robes.

Qiao Huai looked fascinated.

I didn’t expect to see him here!

The moment he saw Kurosawa, he was reminded of what he had experienced a few days ago.

Qiao Huai is a first-year student who just entered the Jinling School this year.

He will be twenty-one in a few months. He is a top professional. Ever since he awakened his psychic powers at an early age, he has been a man of the hour in his hometown.

It is a pity that he has not awakened his natural ability. Although there are regrets, his growth has been smooth sailing.

At a young age, at the age of twenty, he trained the core elves to the intermediate transitional level.

He has always been proud of his talent. After coming to the Jinling School, he looked down on other associations and wanted to join the elite association.

As a result, he failed miserably. His talent did not seem to be enough for the elite associations to recruit him in advance, whether it was the Elemental Association or the Transcendent Association.

After coming out of the test room, he met the young man in the distance. The association teacher specially made a special trip to send him, which left a deep impression on him. For this reason, he even remembered the other person's name and searched the Internet to find him. It's only professional level.

Unexpectedly, when we meet today, he is already wearing the costume of the Elemental Society.

Why?

He suddenly felt a little unhappy.

We are both at the professional level, and the age difference is not big. Why can I admit him as an exception, but I can't? Am I worse than him?

If possible, he really wanted to return to the Elemental Society to question the society's teachers face to face.

Kurosawa came to the ring and stayed away from the waiting area. There was only the roar of the battle around him.

Opposite him is a girl with hair tied up, his opponent in the first round, Nonglan Chinawat.

She is wearing a unique Thai-style female costume. The top is sleeveless and collarless, with a long transparent and thin shawl hanging on the left shoulder. The shawl hangs naturally from the back to the floor, exposing the right shoulder. The bottom is folded. Tube skirt, slightly cinched by a belt.

In terms of strength, Kurosawa did not feel particularly oppressive.

Noticing Kurosawa's gaze, she put her hands together and said hello in a friendly manner.

Kurosawa also responded slightly.

The battle on the stage ended not long after.

Kurosawa and Nong Lan walked to the command area of ​​the ring and took their positions.

The referee asked them to release the elves in advance to give both players some time to adapt to the arena environment.

Of course, this first round rule is more for the convenience of foreign players.

Kurosawa has already adapted to this environment in advance.

Kurosawa thought for a moment and summoned Mum.

This kind of actual combat is helpful for the elves to improve their own strength. Both Nightmare and Mumu are at the peak of the transition stage and are condensing the core of their attributes.

Considering that Mom has fought much less often than Nightmare, Kurosawa sent out Mom first.

Opposite him, Nong Lan reached out and summoned a waist-high pure white elephant. It was smooth and white, exuding a faint white halo of Buddha nature, like white jade.

Very beautiful elf.

It's a pity that the strength level is not too strong, with an emergy value of about forty points?

Considering that the other party is less than twenty years old, he is already at an extremely good level.

Kurosawa felt a little regretful. If possible, he hoped to face as strong an opponent as possible while winning the battle.

It's not that he is being hypocritical, but the stronger the opponent is, the greater help he will bring to Mumu, and from a utilitarian point of view, the more rewards he will receive after the game.

Nonglan Chinawat does not have such complicated thoughts as Kurosawa.

Her big eyes covered with eye makeup stared at the little stone giant that was over 2.6 meters tall.

There were extremely powerful golden patterns flowing on its surface. Coupled with its height, it gave her a considerable sense of oppression from being condescending.

She used her own detection methods, but the elf was like a black hole, swallowing up all her perceptions.

So strong!

Her heart tightened.
