As a stage for college students to showcase themselves, the CUAA league received good coverage in newspapers all over the country. Of course, the newspapers all focused on the teams in their own division and made some predictions around this point.
For example, the newspapers in the Jianghai division reported on the results of Jinghai University and Jiangnan University.
Jiangnan University also advanced. After all, it was a veteran team in the top four. In this kind of BO3 elimination tournament, it was basically based on strength. Luck played a very small role, so the possibility of an unexpected elimination was not high.
However, compared to Jiangnan University, Jinghai University won more attention.

[The most dominant new CUAA star: Bai Xiaowen's interview]
…
Various media outlets sang praises and threw all kinds of praises at Bai Xiaowen as if they were free.
The main reason why he could win so much attention was because of the contrast between the expectations and the results. Jinghai University was ranked 30 +. It was indeed surprising that they could beat Wannan University, which was not weak, by such a large margin. In contrast, Jiangnan University's advancement to the top 16 was natural in the eyes of the media. They would only pay attention if they were eliminated.
Of course, Bai Xiaowen's goal of becoming the champion was also a factor. Almost every report described Bai Xiaowen's goal of becoming the champion and made a lot of analysis.
The attitude of the newspapers in Jinghai Base City was not bad. They were cautious and optimistic. However, other newspapers in Jiangnan Base City and Jinling Base City were not so optimistic. They were not optimistic about it. However, most people did not say anything definite. It was better to leave some room for improvement in the future …
Of course, there were exceptions.
[Arrogance or confidence? The champion declaration of the bottom school team]
Under this aggressive headline, there was a subtitle:
[Wannan University Team: We were ambushed!]
The content and angle of the article was very special. The whole article was an interview with the defeated team, Wannan University Team, but the winner, Jinghai University Team, was only a "champion declaration". Aside from this short paragraph, it could almost be considered an interview with Wannan University Team.
"In the first round of the CUAA knockout competition, Jinghai University, ranked 31st in the standings, unexpectedly defeated Wannan University, ranked 12th in the standings. Then, in the post-match interview, Bai Xiaowen, the new captain of Jinghai University, declared that he wanted to become the champion … "
"As a reporter in Jinghai Base City, I am worried about this. This team that just had a little bit of improvement has actually set such an outrageous goal for themselves! "
"Looking at the overall situation, the Jinghai School Team doesn't have any outstanding strength, and the captain, Bai Xiaowen, who has high hopes placed on him, has a mediocre individual performance. Of course, the mediocre here refers to his individual combat strength."
"The Jinghai School Team was able to pull off an upset because they relied on the element of surprise and the tactic of using numbers against numbers. So in the competition, we have seen the Jinghai School Team 4 against 2 or 5 against 3 more than once. This team deliberately created a situation where they outnumbered their opponents because they were not confident in their own strength! This kind of small trick might work once or twice, but when we meet a truly strong team, it will definitely show its true colors. "
"But this little trick won an upset, and it made the Jinghai School Team dizzy."
"If the Jinghai School Team thinks that they can rely on this kind of trick to advance in every elimination round, then they are gravely mistaken."
"As a local media person, I hope that the five youngsters of the Jinghai school team, especially the captain, Bai Xiaowen, can calm down, settle down, and participate in the following matches with an attitude of learning and improvement … Perhaps you don't have many matches left, so cherish this opportunity to accumulate experience."
After a short foreshadowing, it was time for the "exclusive interview" with Duanmu Cheng and the others.
The interview was in the form of question and answer. From the words, the resentment of the school team of Wannan University could be seen, and the feeling of dissatisfaction almost came out of the paper. It was unknown whether the reporter had exaggerated or not.
After the question and answer, the article also flattered the school team of Wannan University and praised Duanmu Cheng's strength. Duanmu Cheng would graduate this year and join the professional league. The author expressed his optimism about his future …
Bai Xiaowen read the article. The author of this article was called Yu Yiguang, and he worked for Jinghai Youth Daily.
"A local newspaper of Jinghai?" Bai Xiaowen was slightly stunned, then he smiled and said, "It's a bit surprising."
"This person is crazy!" Li Shuyi was furious when he saw the article. "Why did he say that your performance wasn't good? You suppressed the opponent and won two MVPs. Isn't that good enough? This isn't a bone in an egg, it's an egg in the bone! "
"Well, I can probably understand this reporter's thinking. He must think that other colleagues will praise me … In order to attract attention, he did the opposite."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and shook his head. "This kind of person seems to be unreasonable, but in fact, he has his own agenda. Don't be angry."
"I have to find out who this person called Yu Yiguang is. It's too infuriating. From now on, you can decline all interviews with Jinghai Youth Daily! It's a local newspaper of Jinghai, but you're siding with outsiders … "Li Shuyi muttered.
"Why do you have to do that … We're not from the same world."
Bai Xiaowen quickly finished his breakfast. After informing Li Shuyi, he went to the garage and drove out.
Yesterday afternoon, Bai Xiaowen's assistants came to Jinghai University to help Bai Xiaowen pack his luggage and fill up the gas tank for his off-road vehicle.
Li Shuyi watched from the balcony as the off-road vehicle drove away and disappeared around the corner behind the teaching building.
…
At Shandong University, in the spiritual ability training field at the school team training base …
"Boss Bao was right. Our opponent for the next round is Jinghai," a boy wearing a cloth cultivator's uniform said with a smile as he practiced his skills.
Bao Yiming, who was fat and strong and somewhat similar to Bai Xiaowen's Butcher, was doing deep squats with a huge black vat in his arms. This huge vat was specially made in the spiritual ability training field to complement his training, so it was abnormally heavy.
Bao Yiming was sweating profusely. After finishing two sets of deep squats, he threw down the huge vat with a loud bang. "This is normal. Jinghai's captain … is a bit demonic. I saw him at the Dead Soul Lake last time, and he gave off an unfathomable feeling. Old He, we have to be careful in the next round. "
A male warrior, who was chopping dummies, turned his head when he heard this. "Are you talking about Boss Bai Xiaowen? He is indeed very powerful. To be honest, I don't feel confident about going up against him … "
This boy was Shi Haiyan, a member of Shandong University's school team, along with Han Xu, Chen Guowei, and the others, who were brought by Bai Xiaowen into the internal space of the Nagas. It was because of this that Shi Haiyan respected Bai Xiaowen.
A fair-skinned male student frowned. "Shi Haiyan, are you scared? I've seen Bai Xiaowen before. He's carrying a head on his two shoulders. He doesn't have one more part than you! "
This fair-skinned boy was Zhang Yubin. He was also an awakened who was dissatisfied with Bai Xiaowen's strength during the formation of the Dead Soul Lake team. He was holding a curved bow and doing shooting practice.
"Zhang Yubin, what do you mean? I'm just saying that Boss Bai Xiaowen is indeed very strong, but I'm not afraid of going all out in next week's competition! Is there a contradiction between the two? " Shi Haiyan frowned. "He's a hero like Boss Bao. You should give him the necessary respect."
"Hmph, stop joking. You keep calling him Boss in the next round, and you're still saying you're not afraid? "Zhang Yubin suddenly released the bowstring and shot an arrow like a shooting star, piercing through the bull's eye.
"I've been unhappy with Bai Xiaowen for a long time. This is a good opportunity. I'll definitely shoot his head off! "
"You think you can …" Shi Haiyan retorted.
"Okay, stop arguing!"
Bao Yiming's prestige was very high. He stopped the argument as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Bai Xiaowen's strength is indeed very strong. In the Dead Soul Lake, Duanmu Cheng and I couldn't block the Boss's big move and had to escape in advance. However, he was able to kill the Boss. We lost."
"However, if Bai Xiaowen thinks that Duanmu Cheng and I are the same kind of trash and can be easily dealt with, then he's gravely mistaken … Hehehe!"
Bao Yiming's last few vulgar laughs suddenly turned his impassioned speech into a wretched one.
Zhang Yubin joined in the fun and said, "That's right. Boss Bao's throwing skills are the bane of those so-called hero classes that are weak and only rely on the number of summoned creatures! Moreover, Senior Yu is a real mage with detection skills. She's much stronger than Bai Xiaowen's half-baked mental senses … "
This was not without reason. The most effective way to deal with a summoner class was always to attack the enemy directly. Throwing players were best at single combat. They were good at controlling and attacking at the same time.
"Yes, it's true that the class counters each other, but it also depends on the competition format." Bao Yiming thought for a while. "Go and get the recording of the competition between Jinghai and Wannan. Let's study it carefully. Don't be confused by their special tactics."
