Compared with yesterday's lottery draw, today's Zhongtian Square is obviously a bit more chilling. Teams from various countries arrived one by one, including the four major seed teams. These teams range from eight people to more than ten people, except for the Feili team led by our Captain Zhou Weiqing, only four people came.
When Zhou Weiqing brought Shangguan Binger, Wu Ya, and Ye Paopao to the waiting room where Team Feili was, they couldn't help but arouse the attention of other teams, even the four major seeded teams.
Even for the top four seeded teams, there are five regular players and three substitute players, a complete set of eight players. From everyone's point of view, Fei Li's team is really too arrogant. Only four people are here to announce to others that they only need to play four people to win today's game.
The one with the ugliest face was undoubtedly Team Feili's opponent today, Team Mio from the Kingdom of Mio. At this moment, they were all glaring towards Fei Li.
The thickness of our captain Zhou's skin played a key role at this time. No matter how people looked at him, he looked like he had nothing to do with me, and he came to the lounge and sat down majestically.
The side of the lounge facing the competition stage was not covered by anything. Seeing him sitting there with a big horse, everyone felt that the arrogance of the Fei Li team had been raised to another level.
Not long after, all the twenty-four teams had arrived, and from a distance, the rostrum was also full of people. Zhou Weiqing just glanced at the rostrum and immediately withdrew his gaze. It's not a good thing to have too high a perception. Looking at it, he was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his back. He can't judge the specific strength of those people on the rostrum, but he can be sure that there are at least 20 or more of them who have surpassed Mingwu.
What is this concept? That is to say, there are more than 20 people on the rostrum who are above the level of Tianzong and above in Jiuzhu! That is a powerful existence that is enough to frighten the group if one is taken out at random.
At this time, on the rostrum, a middle-aged man in his forties stood up and walked slowly to the front of the rostrum. The jade belt is inlaid with eighteen pieces of snow-white jade. His appearance cannot be said to be very handsome, but it gives people a simple and simple feeling. The essence in the eyes is restrained, with a bit of lustrous color. It is impossible to see how old he really is. He was also one of the people Zhou Weiqing felt was stronger than Ming Wu.
"Hi, handsome young men from the Twenty-Four Kingdoms. I am Shangguan Tianxing, Emperor of the Zhongtian Empire. Welcome to the Zhongtian Empire to participate in the Triennial Dzi Bead Competition." His voice was very gentle, but it was like mercury pouring down the ground. Usually, it spreads everywhere, so that everyone can hear it clearly.
Everyone in the waiting room around the competition stage came out one after another, bowed towards the rostrum and saluted, "I have seen you, Your Majesty." Among them, eight players from the Zhongtian team from the Zhongtian Empire even knelt on one knee. land.
Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of people gathered around Zhongtian Square knelt on the ground at the same time, shouting: "Long live, long live, long live."
How shocking it is to have hundreds of thousands of people shouting at the same time, the huge sound waves soaring into the sky, I am afraid that even Tianzhu Island thousands of meters away can hear it. This is the power of the emperor of a great country. Even if Shangguan Tianxing did not show the slightest majesty, against the backdrop of his hundreds of thousands of subjects, he has become the only focus and center of the audience.
Zhou Weiqing also bowed slightly, but was a little surprised to find that Shangguan Binger beside him seemed to be in a daze. "Bing'er, what's wrong with you?"
Shangguan Bing'er shook her head lightly, and said, "It's nothing, I just think his voice sounds very comfortable."
At this time, Shangguan Tianxing on the rostrum had already spoken again, "The rules of the Tianzhu Competition are the same as before. Today is the first round of the competition. I hope that the young talents from all over the world can give full play to their strengths and strive for good results. The teams that will eventually enter the top four You will get the opportunity to go to Tianzhu Island for the final decisive battle, and at the same time, you will also get rewards from Tianzhu Island. The competition stage in front of you is your stage, that's all I'm talking about. Where is Shangguan Longyin?"
"The minister is here." An old man stepped forward from the side and saluted Shangguan Tianxing respectfully.
Shangguan Tianxing said: "Long Yin, you will be the chief referee of this Tianzhu competition, and supervise all the competitions. Tuoyin Palace under your command will preside over the referee."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Shangguan Tianxing glanced at the contestants from the 24 countries below and his hundreds of thousands of people, and said in a deep voice, "The Tianzhu competition has officially begun."
"Long live Long live Long live."
Under another shout of Long Live, Shangguan Tianxing retreated to sit in the center of the rostrum, and Shangguan Longyin took his place before.
Compared with Shangguan Tianxing's gentleness, this Shangguan Longyin looked extremely majestic, his face was expressionless, and his sharp eyes swept across, like a real sword.
Ye Paopao said in a low voice: "I've heard about this person. This Shangguan Longyin is the owner of the Tuoyin Palace of the Zhongtian Empire. He is also the top figure in the Zhongtian Empire. It is said that he was also born in the Piaomiao Palace. Yes. Some people say that the Piaomiao Palace itself is composed of members of the Zhongtian Empire's royal family. Therefore, although the Zhongtian Empire is large, the throne of the Shangguan family is as firm as a rock."
Zhou Weiqing was terrified by the words of the Lord of the Zhongtian Empire Ruoyin Palace. The masters of the Ruoyin Palace in the Fei Li Empire are all heavenly king-level powerhouses, so this one must be stronger. Moreover, this Shangguan Longyin must not be the number one person in the Zhongtian Empire, and there is a vast palace above his head. Sure enough, one does not know the size of the world without leaving home.
Shangguan Longyin's majestic eyes swept across, and actually made the Zhongtian Square quiet. You know, there are hundreds of thousands of people! If you look carefully, you will definitely be able to spot the fanaticism in the eyes of the people watching the battle.
"In the first round, the first match of a group, the Zhongtian Empire team played against the Tianfeng Empire team. The first players from both sides appeared on the stage, and the Tuoyin Palace referee appeared on the stage."
Under the eyes of everyone, a referee in his forties, wearing a beige robe, walked up first. There are silver thread decorations on his robe, and in the middle of his chest, the gorgeous pattern of silver thread forms a big Chinese character.
The Zhongtian Empire team had a waiting room next to Zhou Weiqing, a white figure flashed, and a tall young man stepped onto the stage. The Zhongtian Empire team uniform was white, and the pattern was similar to the referee's robe. It's similar, except that he is wearing a strong suit with golden decorative patterns, which also converge into a Chinese character on the chest.
The members of the Zhongtian Empire have just appeared on the stage, and someone from the Tianfeng Empire team has already shouted: "We admit defeat."
The referee confirmed to Tianfeng Empire: "You all admit defeat?"
"yes."
The member of the Zhongtian Empire team didn't change the expression after hearing the other party's surrender. It seemed that he had expected this situation a long time ago. After saluting to the referee, he stepped off the stage leisurely and returned to his team's waiting room. .
According to the schedule, the first four games of today's first round will be played by the seeded teams of the four groups. Then there are other teams.
Conceding defeat in the preliminaries against a seeded team is by no means a disgrace, but a smart choice. It is almost impossible to beat the seeded team. Even if there is a plan to fight, it will never be in the preliminaries. It is also the idea of most countries to avoid their edge and retain their strength to face the next opponent and strive for the second place in this group.
Sure enough, in the next three games, the other three seeded teams also won without a fight, easily winning the first round.
Next, is the second game of each group. The main event of the first round is now truly unfolding.
Zhou Weiqing sat in the waiting room and watched coldly, watching the competition between the two national teams in the first group and the second match, secretly surprised in his heart. These two teams are both from small countries, but their strength is quite extraordinary. Among the five players who participated in the battle, two of them were three-Jeweled and three were four-Jeweled. This is already quite powerful among young dzi masters under the age of thirty. And their fighting skills are also quite good. Fighting in the arena is full of wind and water, and the sky is full of power. You know, these two teams are just the bottom ones among the twenty-four teams.
In the end, the game ended with a narrow 3-2 victory for one of the teams.
When it came to the second match of the second group, Zhou Weiqing hadn't watched any more, because they were going to play the next second match of the third group.
"Crow, your first match. Bubble, your second match. In the third match, two-on-two, I will go with the crow." As the acting captain, Zhou Weiqing quickly made arrangements.
Although she didn't let herself play, Shangguan Bing'er didn't complain at all, she just sat quietly beside Zhou Weiqing, and she absolutely supported her man without reservation.
The second game ended relatively quickly, because one of them was the Griffino Empire team, whose national strength was not inferior to that of the Fei Li Empire. Zhu easily won the victory.
After each big game, the referee on the stage will change. At this time, a new referee came on stage and said loudly: "The second match of the third group, the Fei Li Empire team played against the Mio Kingdom team, the first match between the two sides The test players are on the field."
The crow had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and strode out in big strides. He stomped his right foot on the ground without taking the steps before the competition stage, and flew up and landed towards the competition stage.
Zhou Weiqing covered his ears with his hands in a timely manner, and then there was a loud bang that shook the audience.
