"The results of the other match are out."
After the interview, Yan Xiaoxin said to Bai Xiaowen.
"Our opponent for the next round? Who is it? "
The previous draw had already determined the flow of the competition.
Yan Xiaoxin was referring to the teams that could compete with Jinghai University for the top eight. Shandong University and Inner Mongolia University.
"It's Shandong University. I just got the news that Shandong University defeated Inner Mongolia University by 2: 0 and advanced to the top 16, "Yan Xiaoxin said.
"Shandong University … That Fatty Bao is really good. We can't underestimate him," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile.
"Yes, Shandong University eliminated us in the first round last year. This year, we finally have a chance to take revenge." After this clean 2: 0 victory, Yan Xiaoxin had a better understanding of Bai Xiaowen's ability in the competition. She spoke with confidence.
"Ability in the competition" did not only include hard skills, but also a series of soft skills such as understanding of tactics, teamwork, and control of the rhythm of the game.
In fact, Bai Xiaowen's hard skills in the competition were not stronger than Duanmu Cheng's. He was able to win by a large margin because he had drawn two modes that were suitable for his tactical brain.
If he had drawn True Slaughter Mode, Bai Xiaowen might have won in a real battle, but he would have been forced to use even more of his trump cards. Without mentioning anything else, the Bloodstone's Thirst for Slaughter passive would definitely be exposed, and the Malicious Ghost's Resentment Godly Skill would likely be exposed as well.
This was also the reason why Wannan University's team did not accept their loss. They had not been defeated by hard skills.
However, Bai Xiaowen did not care what his opponent thought when he was defeated. He was not interested in correcting his opponent's misconceptions.
"When will the second round begin? Will we be the home team or the away team? "Bai Xiaowen asked.
The first round of the national competition was a battle between the first place of one division and the second place of another division. The home team was the university that won first place in the qualifying round. However, things were different in the second round of the elimination round.
"Next Saturday's match will be decided based on the CUAA rankings. The higher ranked school will play at home," Yan Xiaoxin said. "Shandong University is eighth on the CUAA rankings, so we …"
"Visiting team, right? Understood. "
With Jinghai University's poor performance for many years, their ranking on the CUAA University Rankings was below 30. Basically, the teams that made it to the top 16 were ranked higher than Jinghai University …
The other team members who were listening, especially the newly selected substitutes, all opened their mouths in surprise.
"If that's the case … I'm afraid the next few rounds will be away games …"
"Yeah, the other side definitely has the advantage on their home ground …"
Bai Xiaowen shook his head slightly. "There's no advantage to speak of."
"The so-called home advantage is nothing more than two aspects. The first is the environment. It's hard to get used to traveling to an unfamiliar city. The second is that the live audience supports the home team. Some off-field factors will cause psychological pressure on the visiting team."
"However, when we rush to Shandong University, we'll be teleporting through space. There won't be any hard work involved in the journey. As for off-field factors, they aren't even worth mentioning. We'll be fighting in the independent space of the psionic training field. No matter how loud the home team's audience shouts, we won't be able to hear them … "
Yan Xiaoxin smiled. "Hearing you say that, I'm relieved …"
There was definitely a difference between home and away games, but the difference wasn't as big as the difference between home and away games in football and basketball.
"The second round will start next Saturday. There are still five and a half days left. I plan to go to the wilderness, "Bai Xiaowen said.
Li Shuyi said, "Ah, don't you want to continue training?"
"You stay and train with everyone. I don't need you," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile. "Don't worry, I won't go deep into the wilderness. However, ever since the Butcher evolved, he hasn't properly stacked the 'Slaughterhouse' passive HP limit. This time, I'm just stacking the HP limit for the Butcher. I'll come back when it's full. "
The Butcher's' Slaughterhouse 'skill was a very powerful skill. It could stack the HP limit by 100% without any negative effects! However, stacking it slowly took time.
Since they weren't going deep into the wilderness, Bai Xiaowen didn't bring Li Shuyi along.
Li Shuyi and Bai Xiaowen's teamwork was very good. However, their teamwork with the other three main players wasn't as good. This was also because they hadn't been training together for long. Therefore, during this period of time, Li Shuyi and Han Xu were training together to familiarize themselves with each other's teamwork.
As for Bai Xiaowen, although they hadn't been training together for long, with his battle intelligence, basic teamwork wasn't a problem. It would be difficult for him to improve too much even if they trained together. It was better to bring the Butcher out for a walk and stack the extra 300 HP limit. That was the way to go.
Understanding Bai Xiaowen's intentions, Li Shuyi nodded in agreement. He only reminded him, "You must be careful. Think about the Betu Guild last time …"
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "Zhao Yannian has already been severely punished. Moreover, the special operations launched by Sir George have been very effective. I don't think anyone would dare to commit a crime. Although the Zhao Family hates me to the core, they don't dare to act rashly now. Countless eyes are watching them. "
Bai Xiaowen was truly not afraid of the Zhao Family. If the other party wanted to deal with him, they would have to send out high-level Heroes. However, high-level Heroes were basically celebrities. They would attract attention wherever they went. They weren't suitable for this kind of assassination. In addition, high-level Heroes had a bright future. They could become big shots in the future. They wouldn't be willing to break the law for the Zhao Family like elite Heroes did.
Moreover, although Sir George and Bai Xiaowen weren't actually related, in the eyes of those who didn't know, that wasn't the case …
The prophecy effect of the Misfortune Bracelet was where Bai Xiaowen's confidence came from. As long as he paid attention to whether the smiley face on the bracelet changed, it would be very difficult for the enemy to succeed in a sneak attack.
That night, the school team organized a meal to celebrate their promotion. Bai Xiaowen's trip to the wilderness was pushed back to Monday. At night, Bai Xiaowen logged into Starlight Livestream and interacted with his fans. He also played a few teaching matches to relax.
…
The next morning.
"Xiaowen, time for breakfast," Li Shuyi called out. After living together for a long time, Miss Li, who wasn't good at cooking, could make breakfast quite well …
Well, it was actually just Wild King bread, secret ketchup, and Cliff Dragon Fruit juice …
