Perhaps because they had a premonition that today's competition would be difficult, many of the contestants who came to the scene had serious expressions.

For this round of competition, a well-known commentary team was invited to the official live broadcast room to broadcast content.

Of course, the commentators did not follow the scene, but only used remote broadcasting to explain.

"Today's game will be very exciting."

"Yes, yesterday every TV station made predictions about the expected appearances of the contestants. I wonder if the contestants supported by the audience are on the popular list?"

In the professional studio, commentators in formal suits were sitting on the sofa chatting.

Today's game will give birth to the semi-finals of the Provincial Super League, so it will receive much more attention and attention than the first round of games.

In the minds of many people, no matter what kind of competition, the gold content has been rising crazily since the semi-finals.

In terms of the honors and backgrounds of general players, they are mostly champions, runner-ups, semi-finals, etc. in each category. The top eight and sixteen are generally rarely included in the honor introduction, unless the player's personal honor is really

of limited.

In addition to the official live broadcast room of Jinliang, which is responsible for hosting this event, the home team cities where some players are located have also opened stages to support their players.

Haitang City is no exception. The live broadcast room has already pushed the stream early.

Some viewers in Haitang City chose to support Kurosawa on Jinliang's official channel, while others came to Haitang's own channel.

Kurosawa's appearance allowed many viewers in Haitang to participate in a high-level event with a stand for the first time.

On the Haitang Forum, many Haitang League fans are constantly communicating.

"I missed the previous stage of the game. Today is my first time watching the Provincial Super League game. Are there any precautions to watch?"

"I've already put on my suit and tie and sat in front of the computer, ready to watch Brother Sawako's wonderful performance."

"If you are from Haitang, please come to watch the game!"

"Please raise your hands and share your luck with Brother Zezi. The drawing ceremony is really important to Zebao!"

"Forget about bad luck, please lend your bad luck to other players!"

"I'm nervous, I feel like I can't breathe."

As the contestants arrived at the venue one after another, the official staff who came to the scene to preside over completed the head count. After confirming that all contestants had arrived, the lottery ceremony started.

The person in charge of the drawing ceremony today is a well-known veteran Qiu Hong, an aging and retired elf master.

Before going on stage, he shook hands with every player in the audience.

When shaking hands with Kurosawa, the camera bird overhead took a special photo of this scene.

In the picture, the two players on the left and right respectively represent the past of Hanquan Province and the future of Hanquan Province. Just like the replacement of old and new, it is a very memorable picture.

After the old Comrade Qiu Hong shook hands with Kurosawa, he also said a few words of encouragement before going on stage to formally prepare to draw lots.

One hundred and ninety-five-year-old veteran......

Kurosawa silently lamented in the audience that his age was not even a fraction of the other party's.

The age of 185 is also an old age for an elf master who has a longer lifespan than ordinary people.

Generally speaking, the theoretical life span of a master elf master is about two hundred years old, a guardian can extend it to 250 years old, and a throne-level player can reach 300 years old or more.

Of course, what is mentioned here is theoretical life.

In fact, many elf masters of corresponding levels cannot live to such a long age.

Because although elf masters are healthier and stronger, considering their professional characteristics, they are exposed to more dangers.

It is also very common to unfortunately die prematurely, or to accumulate too many injuries that shorten your life span.

Qiu Hong used to be a guard-level player. In recent years, his physical skills have aged rapidly and his spiritual abilities have also declined significantly. He has now retired and is recuperating at home.

Time is indeed the most ruthless weapon. Kurosawa looked at the old man's arms on the stage that were like dead trees and felt

Overwhelmed with emotion.

He put his arm into the box, grabbed the ball with the player's name on it, opened it and showed it to the camera.

Kurosawa looked at it very seriously.

This time he appeared very early, after the first group group ended, and then he arrived.

Seeing the note with his name on it being slowly unfolded, Kurosawa's heart couldn't help but speed up.

Next is his opponent in the next battle.

Along with him are millions of fans.

Under his intense gaze, the opponent's ball was grabbed out of the box.

Boxes, balls, and even papers with names written on them are all made of special materials that can block outside perception.

The ball was opened, and a golden rolled note was slowly straightened and displayed.

"Zhu Xiaochuan."

The moment he saw his opponent's name, Kurosawa raised his eyebrows.

I actually picked up an acquaintance.

Kurosawa shook his head helplessly.

He didn't know most of the players at the scene, and the only one he knew, Zhu Xiaochuan, turned out to be his opponent in the next battle, which had to make Kurosawa have mixed feelings.

He and Zhu Xiaochuan met because of the elimination activities after the last provincial super league. In the deep secret realm, the captain of the team where he, Ning Yexing, and Mi Liling belonged to was Zhu Xiaochuan.

Outside the venue, among the three people who also came to support Kurosawa today, Ning Yexing and Mi Liling looked at each other.

"...Should I say it's a good sign?"

"Probably so."

Mi Liling shook her head and nodded again.

In fact, drawing Zhu Xiaochuan, who ranked fifth last time, should be considered a good draw for Kurosawa.

After all, if you don't draw the top three, you are considered lucky. You can't expect the guests to draw the weakest opponent for Kurosawa.

"It just feels like such a coincidence. I wonder how Captain Zhu is feeling now, haha." Ning Yexing laughed.

Last year Kurosawa and the others still needed Zhu Xiaochuan's protection, but this year Kurosawa is already standing on the same stage as Zhu Xiaochuan.

In fact, the other party involved, Zhu Xiaochuan, also showed a helpless smile when he saw the result.

In fact, he had a strong premonition after successfully advancing to the knockout round in Kurosawa.

I just didn't expect that the hunch actually came true.

"Rival..."

Zhu Xiaochuan looked through the crowd and saw Kurosawa.

He seems to be much more mature than last year.

Of course, the biggest change is Kurosawa's strength. If it weren't for the same elves, Zhu Xiaochuan would have thought he was a different person.

It is completely impossible to connect Kurosawa with his current level of strength to the young man who was still a little green last year.

"It feels hard to fight..." Zhu Xiaochuan muttered to himself.

Kurosawa's performance during the mission last year brought him great surprise. Now in the past year, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds. The elf energy value that was originally a shortcoming has been made up for. Now Kurosawa is definitely a troublesome person.

opponent!

There are probably few people who know this better than him.

Zhu Xiaochuan took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality.

You need to have a correct mentality and don't look down on Kurosawa just because he is young and is participating in the provincial Super League for the first time.

Since Zhu Xiaochuan has come to participate in the competition, he definitely doesn’t want to lose.

However, if you can't win despite your best efforts, that's another story.

So the premise is to try your best so that you won’t regret it.

Kurosawa was also adjusting his mental state after knowing the result of the draw.

During the last week in the deep secret realm, Zhu Xiaochuan took great care of him.

To be honest, he is not the kind of player who likes to meet acquaintances on the field, especially in this kind of competition where he wins and is eliminated.

If he wins, he will feel guilty about doing something cruel to an acquaintance, but he doesn't want to lose.

Especially when it is possible to win.

He pinched his eyebrows.

Although I'm sorry, if we meet in the arena, Kurosawa still wants to win!

Kurosawa opened his eyes, his eyes gradually becoming firmer.

In the live broadcast room, neither the commentators nor the audience knew the reason behind it. When they saw the results of Kurosawa and Zhu Xiaochuan's allocation, they and other players had strange expressions on their faces, and they were a little confused.

"Good sign! Good sign!"

"Why do you say it's a good draw? As the player who ranked fifth in points last time, I don't think the head-on collision is that strong."

"You guys, please calm down and open the champagne at halftime, right?"

"Do Kurosawa and Mr. Zhu know each other? I feel like the expressions on their faces are a little helpless."

"I feel like I haven't heard much about the connection between the two?"

"Let's cheer for Kurosawa. Rather than veterans, I hope to see more fresh blood step up."

On the barrage, there are still many fans supporting Kurosawa.

On the one hand, the fan base of veteran players is not as active as that of rising star players. What’s more, Zhu Xiaochuan himself is a very low-key player, which is even more so.

On the other hand, the league audience is also fond of the new and hates the old. It is understandable that they hope to see the rise of new and younger players. Only young people can support the future of Haihua Country.

The results of subsequent draws will be announced one after another.

As many people predicted before the game, the top three players were staggered and did not meet in advance in the quarterfinals.

There are four games today, two in the morning and two in the afternoon.

By a very coincidence, the match between Kurosawa and Zhu Xiaochuan was still held in the second game.

For the vast majority of viewers, among today's four games, the game between Kurosawa and Zhu Xiaochuan became the only interesting and suspenseful game, and it also received the most attention.

Amid such expectations, the first game kicked off.

Weng Yuanjing, the current number one player in the Provincial Super League, will play against Wu Guoyu, who ranked seventh in the previous session.

This is a game destined to have no suspense.

However, because of the appeal of the first player in the Provincial Super League, the number of people watching was still very large.

Weng Yuanjing may have other considerations and did not choose a quick decision.

Instead, he played a slow-paced game with Wu Guoyu in a half-fight, half-practice mode.

Of course, the slowness here refers to time. In fact, the process did not cause any disturbances.

Weng Yuanjing still won this round with a singles score of 3:0 and an absolute winner.

The strength gap between him and Wu Guoyu cannot be reflected by the current gap between first and seventh in the league.

The competition process can be said to be a battle, but rather a guidance.

After the end, the players from both sides shook hands in the center of the arena.

Faced with failure, Wu Guoyu didn't show much frustration on his face.

In other words, this frustration has been exhausted after the lottery results came out.

"Please prepare Kurosawa and Zhu Xiaochuan to go on stage."

After the sandstone crocodile team repaired the site, the staff reminded.

Kurosawa and Zhu Xiaochuan looked at each other, and then each used their own methods to get down to the venue.

Neither of them had much communication and both wanted to have a good game.

As they took their seats, new viewers began to pour into the live broadcast room.

"Coming, coming!"

"The only interesting game today."

"I feel like I can quit after watching this game and wait for tomorrow's semi-finals."

"The semi-finals will be exciting."

"I hope Zebao can reach the semi-finals and win a trophy."

In the Provincial Super League, in addition to the trophies for the first, second and third place, the third place also has a commemorative small trophy. As for bonuses and subsequent rewards, the difference between the top four and the 5th to 8th place is also relatively large.

Return to the field.

Kurosawa took a deep breath to adjust his breathing.

He has now entered serious mode.

Because they spent a week together during the mission last year, both of them are familiar with each other's elf lineup.

The Elf lineup will not change much within a year, even Kurosawa is no exception.

Kurosawa recalled Zhu Xiaochuan's information.

Zhu Xiaochuan is a relatively special person among the contestants in the main draw.

He is proficient in cultivating super elves.

Compared with elves with other attributes, super elves have more diverse abilities and are more unexpected.

Zhu Xiaochuan's core elf is Franken, who possesses the power of division.

It has very strong destructive power, and it is difficult to damage it by destroying its body, so its vitality is very tenacious.

Moreover, it can be flexibly divided into several parts to fight together at any time, so you need to be mentally prepared for multi-threaded response.

You also need to be careful with its splitting power, it is extremely sharp! And after it creates a wound, it will be more difficult to heal.

While Kurosawa was calculating the information, Zhu Xiaochuan was also recalling Kurosawa's information.

About five minutes passed.

The referee's voice came through the earphones, breaking the calm between the two.

"Players from both sides of the competition please be ready! If there are no abnormal conditions, the competition will start immediately."

"Everything is normal here."

"Always ready."

"The game officially begins!"

At the referee's order, Kurosawa and Zhu Xiaochuan threw out flash cards at the same time.

The flash card rotated in the air and then released a strong light.

Kurosawa still sent Flora, and Zhu Xiaochuan’s first battle elf was also Franken.

At this stage of the game, except for the top three players who have enough energy to hide their weakness, the core elves of the other players have all made their debut.

Franken was floating in the air, his head, limbs, and torso seemed to be sewn together by countless threads, and his torn clothes fluttered in the wind, making a hunting sound.

"Hiss!"

Franken's head twists and turns freely, without joint restrictions, and its body is very flexible.

It even took off the head with its hands and played with it, trying to use this method to give mental pressure to the little cutie in the distance.

Unfortunately, although Flora is young, she already has a lot of combat experience.

It was not frightened by Franken, and just released strong grass-type energy with no expression on its face.

It wants to create the glory that belongs to Blackpool.
Chapter completed!
