Following Li Zexuan's command, the preliminary round of the Black Armored Army's first combat competition officially began. The soldiers of each battalion returned to their usual training positions and formed a large circle. The empty space in the center of the circle was equivalent to a temporary "arena" for sparring!
"Hehe! Bao Lin, Wang Rong, let's go! Let's go and meet our brothers from the Third Battalion! "
Cheng Chumo chuckled as he patted the shoulders of Yuchi Bao Lin, Wang Rong and the others.
As Qi Transformation Realm martial artists, although Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Bao Lin had just joined the Third Battalion, their strength was still there for all to see. Therefore, they successfully passed the selection and became the members of the First Battalion of the Fifth Battalion!
Although the rules of the Fighting Tournament did not explicitly state that each battalion had to place their strongest "contestants" in Team One or Team Two, but between the various battalions, they had already formed a kind of tacit understanding. Roughly speaking, within the main battalion, Team One was the strongest, Team Two was second, and Team Three and Team Four were ranked behind in that order!
The reason for this tacit understanding was closely related to the rules of the combat competition!
According to the rules of the competition, in the preliminary round, each battalion's First and Second Battalions would select their own Third and Fourth Battalions as their opponents. The First and Second Battalions of the other battalions would be the strongest team in the other battalions. If you placed your strongest team in the Third or Fourth Battalion, then wouldn't you have to go head to head with your opponents in the preliminary round? Even if you won in the "clash", your "contestants" would be greatly exhausted and would most likely affect the next round of the competition! But if they lost in the "clash", then wouldn't their strongest "seeded team" be eliminated in the preliminary round?
Therefore, in order to let their own battalions go further, each battalion tacitly placed their strongest "contestants" in the First and Second Battalions!
On the side of the Wu Battalion, the members of Team One were Shen Mu, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, Wang Rong, and Shao Ming. The team leader was Shen Mu. Other than Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin, the other three were all mid-level generals of the Wu Battalion. Shen Mu was the leader of Team Seven, Wang Rong was the leader of Team One, and Shao Ming was the leader of Team Three.
In fact, in the Wu Battalion, the strongest one should be Sun Zhiping. But according to the rules of the competition, the captains of the different battalions were not allowed to participate in the competition. After all, the main purpose of the martial arts competition was to encourage the soldiers to train well, not to let the captains of the different battalions fight each other!
As for the Wu Battalion First Team, Shen Mu was the leader not because he was the strongest, but because he was the only one who was smart and had decent martial arts skills among the five of them. In terms of strength, Wang Rong was actually stronger than him!
The fighting competition wasn't just a contest of strength. It also required the use of strategies to "arrange troops and formations"!
"Hehe! We must win the first round! Just now, Li Canjun said that as long as we can enter the top five, we can eat as much meat as we want in the next seven days! Also, we can't let the other battalions look down on us. Our team must enter the top five! "
Wang Rong waved his fist and said to Cheng Chumo and the rest as he walked towards the training ground of the Wu Battalion.
As the "seeded team" of the Wu Battalion, the members of Team One were all Qi Transforming Beginner to Middle Stage Qi Transforming Stage experts. They were indeed the most promising team to enter the finals! If even they couldn't enter the finals, then the other three teams of the Wu Battalion would have no hope at all! At that time, if none of the five teams in the finals were from the Wu Battalion, then for a long time, the soldiers of the Wu Battalion wouldn't be able to raise their heads in front of the other battalions!
"Haha! Old Wang, I like what you said! We must enter the top five. Only by entering the top five can we eat meat and be looked down upon by the other battalions! "
Cheng Chumo laughed loudly and said confidently.
In the morning, Li Zexuan told him that the teams with good results would be rewarded handsomely. Cheng Chumo didn't expect that it would be such a reward. It was simply to his liking! With this, how could he not give his all in the following matches?
"Yes, yes, yes! We must enter the top five! " “
Yuchi Bao Lin followed closely behind and said with a determined face.
To these two, the reward of "unlimited meat" was what attracted them the most. In order to be able to eat their fill in the military camp, they would give their all and defeat all the opponents in front of them!
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the usual training location of the Wu Battalion on the drill ground. Standing beside Wang Rong was a 30 years old soldier with a white face and no beard. At this moment, he was analyzing the situation with a calm face.
He calmly analyzed, "The members of the fourth team of the Wu Battalion are Xiang Peng, Wan Tao, Le Bin, Zhang Dazhuang, and Ran Xiaodong. Other than their leader Xiang Peng who is in the middle stage of the Qi Transforming Stage, the rest of them are like us, new recruits who have just joined the Black Armored Army. Furthermore, they are all below the initial stage of the Qi Transforming Stage. Therefore, we have a high chance of winning the first match!
Later on, we will be on our home ground. According to the rules of the competition, we have to send out a person in the first round. I want Chumo to go first. As long as the opponent doesn't send out Xiang Peng first, I believe Chumo will be able to help us win the first round! If the opponent is Xiang Peng first, I suggest Chumo to admit defeat and preserve his strength. We will definitely be able to win the next three rounds! "
This person was Shen Mu, the leader of the seventh team of the Wu Battalion. He was also the leader of Cheng Chumo and the others in this year's combat competition.
Although Shen Mu's martial strength was only in the early stage of the Qi Transforming Stage, he was a steady person who was good at strategizing. Therefore, Sun Zhiping not only put him in the first team, but also made him the leader of the first team!
Coincidentally, before coming to the Black Armored Army, Shen Mu used to be an Adjutant of the Third Battalion of the Right Guards. He was well-versed in both the pen and the sword, and was highly regarded by Old Cheng. Now that he had left the Right Guards, Shen Mu didn't expect that he would become a comrade in the same battalion as his "old superior"'s son!
Because of this relationship, Cheng Chumo didn't have the slightest bit of courtesy towards Shen Mu. Hearing what Shen Mu said, he glared at him and scolded angrily, "Fuck! Shen Mu, what the hell are you saying? Why do I have to admit defeat when I meet Xiang Peng? So what if his cultivation level is higher than mine? So what if he has a higher cultivation level? So what if he can win? When Xiao Xuan was still in the Qi Transforming Stage, didn't he also beat up that Snake King from the Seven Cultivators Sect until he was looking for his teeth on the ground? I will be the first to go up. No matter who the opponent is, I will not admit defeat! We, the people of the Cheng Family, don't know how to write the two words' admit defeat '! "
Cheng Chumo's words could be said to be rather unyielding, but Shen Mu felt a headache when he heard it. The reason why he arranged for Cheng Chumo to be the first to go up was, firstly, because this kid was young and full of energy, even exuberant, so he could take it a few more times. Secondly, he also wanted to try his luck. If the first person from the Fourth Battalion of the Third Battalion wasn't Xiang Peng, then they could use Cheng Chumo, who wasn't very strong, to take the first round. If they could use the two weaker contestants to take the next two rounds, then the remaining two stronger contestants wouldn't need to go up. This way, they could preserve their strength for the later rounds of the knockout round!
Therefore, facing this first round where the odds of victory were very high, Shen Mu's strategy was to preserve their strength as much as possible. As the captain, he couldn't only care about the victory or defeat in front of him. If their team wanted to advance to the finals, then they must "carefully plan" and reasonably allocate the number of matches for each member!
Of course, if the opponent's first to go up was Xiang Peng, then Shen Mu could also accept it. After all, his team could be considered to have used their weakest member (cough cough, that's right, from the surface, Cheng Chumo was indeed the weakest in their team). After using up the opponent's strongest member's number of matches, they would have a greater chance of winning the next three rounds in a row!
The reason he let Cheng Chumo directly admit defeat when facing Xiang Peng was to let Cheng Chumo preserve his strength!
"Alright then, but Chumo, you still have to act according to your ability! You must not get injured in the first round! "
Facing the stubborn Cheng Chumo who was as stubborn as a bull, Shen Mu didn't have any good ideas and could only nod helplessly.
"Hey! We still don't know who will get injured! Old Shen, you just wait and see! "
Cheng Chumo patted Shen Mu's shoulder and said loudly.
"Alright! Stop bragging! The brothers from the Third Battalion are coming! "
