The twin stars of Taiwan University were Jing Chengwen and Zhao Zhilin.
When Bai Xiaowen saw Zhao Zhilin's name, he thought of Zhao Zhixiong. He glanced at Zhao Zhilin's information. Sure enough, he was a child of Taiwan's Zhao Family. He was Zhao Zhixiong's half-brother.
"Could it be that the older brother is avenging his younger brother?" Bai Xiaowen shook his head. That was impossible. After the heavy blow last time, Taiwan's Zhao Family had become a frightened bird. They didn't dare to have any plans against Bai Xiaowen. In addition, it was basically impossible for a hunter to really die in the arena. The Psionic Training Ground's near-death protection rule had a priority of 10 points. Even a Lord-level powerhouse's big move couldn't surpass it.
Here's the explanation of the skill stars. According to the usual rules, Commander-level creatures (spiritual world creatures or mutant beasts) usually had three-star skills, while Lord-level creatures usually had four-star skills. Very few rare Commander-level creatures would master four-star skills.
As for rare Lord-level creatures? There was very little information. Hunters who dared to challenge rare Lord-level creatures basically didn't exist. However, according to this rule, rare Lord-level creatures might have five-star skills. In that case, the total priority was 10 points, which was exactly the same as the near-death protection rule of the Psionic Training Ground. It also couldn't break the rule.
(The Wristband of Misfortune's priority was wrong by 1 point. The previous paragraph has been revised. In the author's message, Old Ya will explain in detail. Forgive me.)
So, even if Zhao Zhilin wanted revenge, he could only defeat Bai Xiaowen in the arena to vent his anger.
The other hunter, Jing Chengwen, was a child of another family in Taiwan, the Jing Family.
"All the information I collected is here. Take a look at the videos of Taiwan University's previous two rounds …" Yan Xiaoxin inserted the disk and began to play the video while distributing the information.
In the video, Zhao Zhilin and Jing Chengwen's battle did indeed show tacit understanding. Compared to Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, their tacit understanding wasn't bad.
Bai Xiaowen was distracted to look at the two's information. He found it very interesting.
[If the two of them were separated, they would be equivalent to two normal Elite Awakened ones. But when they fight side by side, it's completely different. They can exert additional combat power. The title of the Gemini Star is indeed well-deserved …]
A series of exclamations came from the lounge. It was precisely the process of the Taishan University team breaking through Qi Ruifeng's Deceit Veil. The Gemini Stars attacked Qi Ruifeng one after another. Qi Ruifeng's body exploded with black and white light.
Although Qi Ruifeng had activated Hardship Physique and had a strong damage reduction effect, he still couldn't hold on for long before collapsing to the ground and losing the match.
"Alright, that's the end of the video. Does anyone have anything to say?" Yan Xiaoxin naturally needed to brainstorm in a meeting. She started with Han Xu, who was the first to speak.
"Very powerful. We need to separate them," Han Xu said after some consideration.
"That's right. One of them is a melee fighter while the other is a ranged fighter. It's easy to separate them. Ol 'Bai can solve the problem with an airdrop," Xiang Hui said.
"It can't be that easy … They know their own weakness, so how could they not guard against it? I think they should have a skill similar to Captain's Lure … "Feng Zi-ang's thoughts were more detailed.
"We can win as long as we stay calm. Ol 'Bai is invincible!" Chen Guowei bragged irresponsibly.
After the rest of the team expressed their opinions, Yan Xiaoxin finally looked at Bai Xiaowen. "Captain, let's sum it up. What do you think our chances of winning are if we go against the bigger team? "
Bai Xiaowen pondered for a moment. "If I say 100%, won't everyone be too proud?"
"…" Yan Xiaoxin was speechless. "Just tell the truth. No joking …"
"I'm not joking … It's 100%." Bai Xiaowen smiled. "The combination of these two is known to surpass the Hero class. But in my opinion, they're completely countered by me … The trouble these two can bring me is much smaller than a meat tank like Bao Yiming."
Bai Xiaowen stretched as he spoke. "Based on their characteristics, they'll definitely disable the Challenger mode in the individual competition, while we'll still disable the Conquest mode. When the time comes, the two competitions will be decided by the team competition, and our usual training will be team battles … Tomorrow's training will be fine. There's no need to change the training plan … "
Bai Xiaowen looked at Yan Xiaoxin. "Actually, I'm more interested in who our next opponent will be … I think Teacher Yan can go and look for information about them."
Yan Xiaoxin said helplessly, "You're really confident … Well, this is a good thing. As for our next opponent, I'm not sure. After entering the semifinals, we'll have to draw lots again. This will take up an extra week. Everyone can take a break after defeating the bigger team … "
"Draw lots again?" Bai Xiaowen did not understand the rules of the competition, so he repeated it.
"Yes, because the first, second, and third place will be determined. The rules of the Spiritual Realm will reward the top three teams. If the two strongest teams meet in the semifinals, then one of the teams that could have competed for second place will only be able to compete for third place. This is definitely unfair. Therefore, the four teams in the semifinals will draw lots according to the results of the four elimination rounds. This will ensure that the two relatively strong teams will not meet in advance and leave the most exciting battle for the finals. "
"Draw lots according to the results of the elimination rounds? What does that mean? "someone asked.
"It's the order of the net wins of the previous four rounds," Yan Xiaoxin explained. "For example, we've gone through three elimination rounds. We've eliminated our opponents with a score of 2-0, so our net wins are six. In the next round of the quarterfinals, we'll fight the bigger team. If we're really stronger than our opponents, we'll have to fight for a clean sheet. Eight net wins will definitely put us in first place. Then, we'll be able to fight the fourth team … "
"The first team will fight the fourth team, and the second team will fight the third team … Seems very fair. But why do we have to draw lots again? "Bai Xiaowen asked.
"Because many times, there will be a tie in net wins. For example, Yan University has a perfect record like us. After one more round, they might have eight wins and we'll be tied for first place. When we draw lots again, the net wins will ensure that we won't meet Yan University in the semifinals. However, who the remaining two teams will fight will depend on the situation of the draw … "Yan Xiaoxin said.
Chen Guowei pursed his lips and said, "Why do we have to go through so much trouble and take up an extra week …"
"The results of the competition have to be approved by the rules of the Spiritual Realm. We can't be careless about the process." Bai Xiaowen nodded to show that he understood.
"Actually, it doesn't take up an extra week. Even if the net wins aren't tied and there's no need to draw lots, we still have to wait for an extra week," Yan Xiaoxin said. "The CUAA National Competition will be broadcasted live on CCTV starting from the semifinals. This week is mainly coordinated by the organizers and the TV station."
"A national broadcast?" The members of the school team present were a little excited.
"The school teams that are ranked at the top of the CUAA National Competition will indeed gain a lot of attention. Take Yan University's Ouyang Heng for example. During the National Competition, he's usually a B-level international celebrity. After the competition, he'll slowly drop to C-level, "Yan Xiaoxin said.
"There will definitely be a lot of media chasing after the National Competition. Unfortunately, I can't go … "Chen Guowei rested his chin on his hands and said heartlessly.
"… You'd better train hard …" Everyone didn't have the heart to hurt Chen Guowei. Generally speaking, if a standard profession didn't have any special characteristics, it would be very difficult for it to enter the main list.
According to Bai Xiaowen's decision, training on Saturday went on as usual.
On Sunday, Bai Xiaowen and the others took the teleportation portal and arrived at Taidao Base City.
Taidao Base City was surrounded by the sea.
The sea in the Era of Spiritual Ability was more mysterious and dangerous than the sea in the Christian era. Countless powerful mutated sea beasts were hidden in the sea. Currently, the dangerous mutated sea beasts that had been discovered included poisonous jellyfish, facehuggers, island-eating demon whales, and so on. Moreover, the mermaids, deep-sea snakemen, sea giants, and other creatures of the Spiritual Realm had descended to Earth's sea through space rifts. This made the situation of the sea even more complicated.
Fortunately, most of the dangerous creatures mentioned above were entrenched in the depths of the sea. It was relatively rare for them to attack the islands. With technological means of investigation and the surveillance of the coastal sentries, the people of Taidao Base City could be considered to be living and working in peace.
After Bai Xiaowen and the others arrived at Taidao Base City, their biggest impression was the abundance of seafood. Armored crabs, king lobsters, silver-skinned pufferfish, and so on had all been developed into enhanced recipes by the chefs of Taidao Base City. After a meal, the seafood of the Era of Spiritual Ability conquered everyone's stomach.
"No wonder the people unanimously wanted to take back Taidao Base City. From the perspective of our Foodie Empire, we really can't give up even an inch of land. God knows what kind of delicious food will grow there …" Bai Xiaowen wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth and said reluctantly.
As an empire of foodies, Hua Xia's psionic cuisine industry dominated the world. It was a pity that the tourism industry of this era was difficult to develop. Otherwise, just relying on the spiritual food industry and the annual tourists … or perhaps it could be said that the foreign foodies would bring an immeasurable GDP to China.
For ordinary people, this kind of eating habit wasn't good, but the Awakened didn't care.
"Eating seafood early in the morning …" Yan Xiaoxin facepalmed. "There's still an hour before the competition. Are you done eating? If so, let's go. "
Everyone wiped their mouths and got up. The place they chose was not far from Taidao University. There was still plenty of time.
Taidao University. The Zhongshan Building's Zhongzheng Auditorium on the first floor was already full.
On the rostrum on the north side, a group of hot girls dressed in bold clothes held hands and danced. Their movements were beautiful, especially the white color under their miniskirts when they kicked high. It made people's imaginations run wild …
Their slogans were also quite neat.
"Go, go, go! Go, go, go, go, go! "
"This is too much …" Feng Zi-ang covered his nose and said, "Why didn't we have this kind of benefit in the previous rounds …"
"Maybe it's because the culture is different. The girls are more open?" Xiang Hui said a little uncertainly.
"I remember that the girls are more conservative …" Bai Xiaowen recalled the Era of Common Era, Taiwan, which had yet to return …
"Okay, a group of cheerleaders made you lose your souls? Cheer up and come on stage with me! " Yan Xiaoxin was furious. Looking at the group of flamboyant and flirtatious girls on stage, she felt like she had been ambushed …
Finally, the cheerleaders of Taidao University left the stage amidst applause and whistles. The two teams went up the rostrum from both sides.
"Hello, students and reporters … I'm the host, Chen Baola. It's my honor to host this round … Next, I'll introduce the teachers in charge of the two teams, as well as the ten team members …"
What made Yan Xiaoxin feel resentful was that the girl in charge of hosting the TV show was also a voluptuous beauty... a few of the hot-blooded team members couldn't help but glance at the area three inches below the beauty's neck.
The only thing that comforted Yan Xiaoxin was that Bai Xiaowen's gaze was more upright.
"Restrain them, don't look … It's embarrassing," Yan Xiaoxin whispered to Bai Xiaowen from her seat. After that, she shook hands with the teacher in charge of the other team and walked down the rostrum together.
Bai Xiaowen coughed and lowered his voice. "Did you hear that? Don't be so perverted. Watch the game civilly, understand? "
"Yes, yes."
"You're right."
After Feng Zi-ang agreed, he suddenly realized something and whispered, "Do you think Taidao University is doing this on purpose? They're using a few beauties to wear down our fighting spirit?"
"…"
The beautiful host, Chen Baola, first introduced the away team, which was Jinghai University's team.
"… Let us once again use a warm round of applause to welcome the arrival of Jinghai University's school team …"
The sound in the Chung Zheng Auditorium was quite loud, but there was basically no applause. It was all booing and a mess of whistling.
Chen Baola seemed to be used to it. She smiled and said:
"Next, let me introduce the main team members of Taidao University. First, support Zeng Hong …"
The applause was loud. It had to be said that the Taidao University audience changed from booing to applause very quickly.
"Tank Ke Xin …"
"Caster Pang Lihua …"
Chen Baola raised her voice. "And our twin stars, Taidao University's two aces …"
"Shooter Zhao Zhilin, Captain Jing Chengwen! Applause for them! "
Waves of cheers and applause came one after another, almost overturning the roof.
Bai Xiaowen glanced at the twin stars. Zhao Zhilin and Zhao Zhixiong looked somewhat similar, but they were taller. Moreover, his occupation was exactly the same as Zhao Zhixiong's. They were both shooters …
As for Jing Chengwen, he was thin and well-proportioned with muscles. Under his seemingly thin body, there was a strong explosive force.
While Bai Xiaowen was sizing up the two of them, he was also being watched by his opponents.
It was very obvious that the five members of Taidao University's main team showed a lot of hostility toward Bai Xiaowen … The reason was very simple, and there was no need to say too much.
As for the twin stars, Jing and Zhao, their hostility was especially strong. Zhao Zhilin noticed Bai Xiaowen's gaze and very rudely returned it with a glare. It was as if he had seen the enemy who killed his father, and his eyes were exceptionally red.
