In terms of Team Storm's strength among the 32 teams, they were at the bottom.
Even though they weren't last, they wouldn't be that strong.
But they wouldn't be that strong either.
The people from the Supernatural Organization that Chen Zhao had pulled over were sparring partners for Team Storm.
The strongest ones in Team Storm were probably only close to the weakest ones in the sparring team.
There was another most important factor, and that was experience.
Team Storm's battle experience was clearly not as good as the Supernatural Organization's.
In the end, the sparring wasn't worth watching at all.
The entire process was a one-on-one battle between Team Storm and Gaia.
The only thing worth watching was the duel between Captain Hakuei and Gaia.
After the sparring, Chen Zhao had to train them specifically.
After the sparring session, Chen Zhao had to train them specifically.
And it was hell!
Recently, Chen Zhao had been focusing on Team Storm too.
Even at home, Chen Zhao kept watching Team Storm's training videos.
He studied each of their battle styles.
Another three months passed.
Chen Zhao could feel that their strength had clearly increased.
He also did a few rounds of previews.
He also did the drawing of lots for the first season. Steven represented Team Storm and was in charge of drawing lots.
Team Storm would be the opening match against Team Fuji of Japan.
The entire world was waiting for this match.
The first match would be held at Tellgate in California, North America.
Tens of thousands of media from all over the world would gather at Tellgate.
As for the normal audience tickets, they'd been sold out long ago.
The opening match would start with a large song and dance performance.
Various popular stars were invited to sing a few songs on a simple stage.
Then it was time to introduce the members of both teams, as well as their general stats and their respective magic attributes.
The commentators were two experienced people in the supernatural world. They were called Frank and Ahmann.
There was also a professional host who was rather famous in the industry. His name was Dott.
The three started chatting as soon as the players entered.
"Frank, this isn't our first time working together, right?" Ahmann and Frank were clearly old acquaintances.
"But this time, we won't be working together on the battlefield, but in the hosting world," Ahmann said, smiling.
"Masters, in terms of hosting, I'm your senior, right?" Dott interrupted.
"Dott, if you want to be our senior, be careful, or we'll curse you behind your back. You'll never win the lottery for the rest of your life."
After a round of interaction between the three hosts, the three of them got down to business.
"This is the opening match of the first season of the World Supernatural Tournament. Ah Man, Frank, what do you have to say about the strength of these two teams?" Dott was the first to get to the point.
"Because it's the first round, I can't make a comprehensive analysis. However, based on the names and data released by the two teams, I can give some of my opinions." Ah Man paused for a moment before continuing, "I know the captains of both teams. They're both Japanese. Right now, there's even talk of a civil war in Japan. Shiro Baiying has an extremely high reputation in Japan's supernatural world, and he's also very powerful. I remember that his most famous action in the supernatural world was when he led the Baiying family to seal the Guandong Demon King 13 years ago."
"As for Team Fuji's captain, Shindo Yuki, although he's young, he's the most outstanding spiritualist of the new generation. Moreover, he has Daitengu, who's also known as the god's shikigami …"
The hosts analyzed from the captains of both teams to the team members.
"The configuration of Team Storm from North America is clearly a combination of offense and defense. Their battles are obviously more towards the medium and long term. There's something special about this team, and that's that they're not suited for scattered battles."
"Team Fuji from Japan belongs to the Hermit Killer Style. With three Invisibility Masters and four Kendo experts, they have extremely powerful destructive power. They'll definitely have the upper hand in small to medium team battles."
"In addition, the Telgate arena is filled with forests. Although it's the home ground of Team Storm from North America, it's very suitable for the Hermit Killer Style's configuration."
"Ah Man, if you were in their shoes, what do you think of their chances of winning?"
"Team Storm from North America has a 40% chance of winning, while Team Fuji from Japan has a 60% chance of winning," Ah Man replied.
"Now that we're done talking about the players of both teams, let's talk about the coaching teams of both teams. The head coach of Team Fuji from Japan is Zhao Tianshi from Huaxia. Basically, everyone in the spiritual world knows him. He's said to be the future leader of Huaxia's spiritual world under the Heavenly Master. I wonder what kind of price Team Fuji from Japan paid to hire Mr. Zhao."
"As for the coach of Team Storm from North America, the only information that has been released so far is that he's also from Huaxia. Speaking of which, it's very interesting. The captains of both teams are from Japan, while the head coach is from Huaxia."
"Do either of you have detailed information on the coach of Team Storm from North America?"
"Not entirely. Zhang Tianshi from Huaxia once mentioned the coach of Team Storm in an interview. He said that they've fought side by side before and that he's a very powerful spiritualist. Although most of the things said in such interviews are just commercial flattery, it's certain that the head coach of Team Storm is definitely not a weakling. The so-called fighting side by side means that they've worked together or fought under Zhang Tianshi's leadership. Even if there's a possibility of commercial flattery, he's definitely not weak."
"Team Fuji from Japan has already entered the arena. According to the rules, the away teams will enter 30 minutes earlier to familiarize themselves with the arena and deploy first."
"As you can see, Team Fuji has split their ten starting members into four teams, 2, 2, 3, and 4."
"Team North America has also entered. They've used three teams, 3, 34."
"There are 20 mana potions in the arena. These are all very important resources in a real battle. Therefore, they'll definitely explore the map first and then start looking for mana potions."
"Huh? The two teams have met on the northern slope of the forest. Team Fuji has two people, while Team North America has three. They're fighting! Team Fuji has launched a sneak attack first. "
On the big screen, a terrifying sword light sliced through the air without any warning.
The audience gasped.
This was something that could only be seen in CGI.
But now, it was displayed before the tens of thousands of people in the stadium and billions of people around the world.
Everyone cried out in alarm.
Chen Zhao stared at the big screen. He knew that his team could handle it.
Before the official match, they'd trained for surprise attacks countless times.
However, this was their first official match, their first confrontation.
Chen Zhao was still nervous.
If they lost members at the start of the match …
It would greatly affect the situation on their side.
Right now, Chen Zhao really wanted to do it himself.
Boom!
A red beam of light hit the sword light from the side.
In the smoke, no one gained the upper hand in the first attack.
After a brief silence, the audience burst into excited cheers.
