"Captain Zuo, your declaration is a little too early. You may not have the opportunity to have a decisive battle with us Qianlong!" Captain Qianlong smiled faintly, his eyes as sharp as a sword.
"Well said."
Zuo Xiaoduo smiled and said, "Given the current situation of Qianlong, it is very likely that we will be eliminated by other teams in the next round... It would be a pity if I can't fight with you. Captain Qianlong is more self-aware. I am ashamed of myself for not being so open-minded."
"Hehe... let's wait and see."
Qianlong’s people also stepped down.
Ma Changsi looked at Zuo Xiaoduo: "How do you feel?"
"Qianlong should still have some hidden strength." Zuo Xiaoduo expressed his opinion honestly.
To these high-level martial arts teachers, a battle of this magnitude is just like playing house. No matter how hidden it is, they can see it at a glance.
Instead of going through so much trouble, it is better to just tell the truth and you will get more information.
"Well, that's a good point."
Ma Changsi sighed and said to the judges, "Qianlong No. 1 Middle School has really taken the wrong path over the years."
The teacher with the gray beard nodded and sneered, "In order to maintain its title as the best, Qianlong No. 1 Middle School has been using more and more scheming in its fighting style over the past two years. It's all fancy and scheming... It's not worthy of a formal meeting!"
"That's right. When warriors fight, it's always best to be upright! Qianlong's mind is now off track. With too many tricks and schemes, his iron-blooded spirit will only decrease sharply."
Another middle-aged female teacher also sighed: "If a student like this continues to go to the battlefield with this mentality in the future... he will definitely not survive for more than a few days."
"So our high-level martial arts school has a heavier responsibility. We need to change those bad habits during the time when students come to the high-level martial arts school to practice... But it takes more than one day to change such bad habits, which will inevitably delay the progress of martial arts!"
Another teacher almost wanted to yell, "Is the first place really that important?"
"Or for Qianlong No. 1 Middle School... the first place is so important." Ma Changsi said thoughtfully.
"Yes, Qianlong No. 1 Middle School is a subsidiary school of Qianlong High School..."
Another teacher sneered: "Qianlong Gaowu, hehe, Qianlong Gaowu."
"Qianlong Gaowu, in the past few years, has almost fallen out of the top three colleges..."
"They are doing things against the grain. Their brains are filled with crap. They train students like this, and they are still in the top three. They are just lucky!"
"What a pity! Senior Ye Qianlong spent countless efforts to establish Qianlong High Martial Arts. What a style it was... Alas."
"What's the point of sighing? We should still respect our predecessors, but when the time comes to replace them, we will never let them go!"
"It's hard for us to surpass the romantic elders, but we can't surpass those good-for-nothings now? It's a joke!"
…
When Zuo Xiaoduo returned to his seat, Wan Lixiu and others were discussing what they had seen. The atmosphere was heated, but there was still one person who had not returned yet.
Li Changming!
The battle between Shikou No. 1 Middle School and Longfu No. 1 Middle School, which he was checking, has not yet ended!
Meanwhile, the referees and leaders have already started a meeting to discuss the future progress of the game.
I believe no one would have thought that this round of battle between eleven and the quarterfinals would be so brutal!
Of the eight teams that have been fought, four of them were directly crippled!
The remaining two teams are still fighting in an even more brutal manner!
The current result is a 3-3 tie, and the two captains are in the final battle of the seventh inning!
But no matter who wins or loses, these two teams are destined to find it difficult to participate in the next round of competition. They have very little combat power left, so what can they use to play in subsequent games!
So what should we do next
Phoenix No. 2 Middle School, where Zuo Xiaoduo is located, had a bye and its strength was intact. It can be said with certainty that no matter which of the ten teams it faced, Phoenix No. 2 Middle School was bound to win - all the losing teams, one by one, were all beaten to a pulp, and their remaining strength was only one or two tenths of what it was at its peak!
So Zuo Xiaoduo's team just needs to go through the motions and be done with it!
"what to do?"
A group of high school martial arts teachers are very troubled by the current situation.
If they take a day off before playing again, it would obviously be unfair to Phoenix No. 2 Middle School: they didn’t get the bye by cheating!
You must know that luck has always been a part of strength!
Do you really have to use time to erase other people's advantages
What’s the point of getting a bye
"Wait until the last two teams finish playing... rest for four hours! The second game will begin at three o'clock in the afternoon!"
"good."
"Call the two teachers and team members from Phoenix City to come and talk to them. I hope they can understand."
"good."
After all, it would still be unfair to the team that had a bye to rest for four more hours.
This was because, as long as there were enough resources, four hours would be enough for the combatants to fully recover their strength, or at least recover more than half of it.
Phoenix No. 2 Middle School may suffer a lot of unnecessary losses because of this rest time.
What was beyond the expectations of all the high-level martial arts teachers was that Phoenix No. 2 Middle School did not care about it at all.
"It's okay. Let's take a break. It's boring for us to play against a disabled team. We're just making fun of ourselves."
Zuo Xiaoduo and the others accepted it very readily, with such a quickness that it was surprising, even unbelievable.
The organizing committee of the competition expressed its great satisfaction with the overall situation-oriented approach taken by Zuo Xiaoduo and the entire team of Phoenix No. 2 Middle School.
After a lot of praise, the matter was finally settled.
Four hours later, the five losing teams and the Phoenix City Second Middle School, which had a bye, drew lots again to determine the final three spots in the quarterfinals.
But no one felt there would be any suspense.
Phoenix No. 2 Middle School is strong in both men and horses, but until now, they have never attacked together, and each time they have to defeat the enemy alone.
Even in the life and death competition, there was only one captain.
It can be said that they have been unstoppable all the way to where they are now, and in this kind of knockout match, no one would think they would lose.
Four hours later, the six teams finally started drawing lots.
It was not sure whether it was a coincidence or a coincidence that the team Zuo Xiaoduo drew was the garrison store.
The two captains stood on the stage for a while. The captain of the garrison store exchanged glances with the other team members and actually smiled.
"We give up!"
This decision disappointed those who were prepared to watch a big show, and caused a little unrest for a moment.
Especially the five teams that had already finished the game and won, they even gave up on recuperating and all came together to watch the game; everyone knew that Phoenix City No. 2 Middle School would be the strongest opponent.
At this moment, in addition to being the best opportunity to understand the opponent's strengths and weaknesses, we are also praying that when facing the team from Phoenix No. 2 Middle School, we should give our all and use up our last bit of strength to deplete the remaining manpower of No. 2 Middle School as much as possible.
As a result, just after the two teams drew lots, the other team, Zujundian No. 1 Middle School, gave up directly!
At this moment, the thirty people from the five winning teams cursed in their hearts: What the hell!
Tens of thousands of divine beasts in my heart were galloping and roaring at the same time.
Zuo Xiaoduo was also puzzled, and then asked: "Thank you very much, thank you for the six students from the garrison store for your kindness. If I have the honor to meet you in the future, I will definitely make friends with you all!"
The captain of the garrison store laughed loudly: "Our garrison store's established goal is to be in the top 20! Now that we have fought so far, we have exceeded our expectations! In fact, our biggest wish in the past few years is to... take down the high and mighty Qianlong No. 1 Middle School!"
"Now, we are out of strength and can't do it! Then we will place our hopes on you! As an inevitable ally, in this battle, no matter who we encounter, we will not fight to the bitter end, and we will not hold our allies back!"
He laughed loudly and began to introduce all his team members: "My name is Meng Changjun, this is the deputy captain Hao Han; this is the team flower Zhen Piaopiao, this is Zhang Haonan, this is Feng Juncheng, and this is Jia Kuang."
"There are six of us! We are all military dependents, children of soldiers!"
The six men of Meng Changjun put their legs together at the same time and saluted: "Congratulations to Phoenix City Second Middle School for their victory and for killing the hidden dragon!"
Zuo Xiaoduo's face turned serious and he shouted, "Everyone!"
Li Chenglong and others immediately lined up in an orderly formation, while performing a martial arts salute: "We will definitely go all out! We will live up to your trust!"
The twelve people saluted each other and laughed together. Then Meng Changjun waved his hand and left the field calmly with his team members, without any sign of dejection!
But on the other hand, none of the people from the five winning teams looked happy.
Especially the students in Qianlong No. 1 Middle School, their faces looked as if they had eaten shit.
"Damn garrison inn!" Qianlong's six men cursed one after another, with no trace of concealment on their faces.
When they faced us, they fought to the death, not hesitating to die together and hurt both sides, causing such great harm to us. Now when they face others, they don’t even fight back!
These bastards deserve to be killed!
That afternoon, the top eight were crowned.
The rankings are as follows: Fenghuangcheng No. 2 Middle School, Qianlong No. 1 Middle School, Shuicheng No. 1 Middle School, Yangluo No. 1 Middle School, Fenghai No. 3 Middle School, Cangshan No. 1 Middle School, Fengwei No. 1 Middle School, and Longfu No. 1 Middle School.
Phoenix No. 2 Middle School, which originally had a bye, could not return to the top of the standings according to the big competition system. However, when facing Zhujundian No. 1 Middle School, the opponent chose to forfeit the game, allowing Phoenix No. 2 Middle School to directly take all four points. Combining the previous results, the total points are still the highest among all teams, still surpassing Qianlong No. 1 Middle School. There is really no way to argue with this!
With such luck, I didn't play for two consecutive rounds, but I didn't suffer any loss and still ranked first in points.
The draw took place that afternoon.
The eight captains from Phoenix No. 2 Middle School and below took action together.
This time everyone learned their lesson and said hello to the teacher first.
But the teacher had a sullen face and said nothing. When it was Zuo Xiaoduo's turn, Zuo Xiaoduo didn't say hello, but just smiled sweetly. The teacher actually took the initiative to speak with a friendly face: "Come on! Zuo Xiaoduo!"
The other captains held their breath in their chests and felt suffocated.
What do you want from us? Say hello or not
Last time, I didn’t say hello and got scolded; when Zuo Xiaoduo said hello, he was praised.
This time we said hello first, but got a cold face. Zuo Xiaoduo didn’t say hello, but you, as a teacher, actually took the initiative to encourage him…
What do you want us to do
I'm so cold!
