After winning the second match, Liu Zhiyuan didn't choose to continue. He led his team out of the arena.
Although they won the first match easily, Liu Zhiyuan and Ji Chae Yi had expended a lot of energy in the second match.
Although they could use expensive spirit stones to recover their stamina, it didn't make much sense. It was good enough to have two matches in a day.
The first day of the competition ended quickly. Other than Liu Zhiyuan's team, which caused quite a stir, Wan Xiong's team swept all their opponents as expected.
And they fought three matches in one go!
Interestingly, the only girl in the team, Sikong Feiyun, didn't participate in the three matches at all.
Moussy didn't make any moves. Just like Shirō Makino, he watched the matches live and did nothing.
Even Wan Xiong didn't do much. Pan Xiangwen's flying daggers and Li Qiufeng's spear were almost invincible.
No matter what kind of opponents they encountered in the three matches, they were all very easy.
The next morning, all the major media in Hundred Flowers City started to comment on this.
"A young advanced spiritual warrior is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. He will become the pride of Hundred Flowers City!"
"Last year's regrettable third place, but this time he's back!"
"Becoming famous at a young age, how far will Wan Xiong grow in the future?"
"Spiritual prodigy Moussy is fighting for the first time, but he didn't use a talisman in three consecutive matches."
Other than that, Liu Zhiyuan's team also attracted a lot of comments. Their popularity wasn't any less than Wan Xiong's team.
After all, last night's two matches were being broadcasted by the officials.
"Hundred Flowers City is full of talents. Before, there was Wan Xiong. Now, there's Liu Zhiyuan and Moussy."
"No.1 Middle School is showing its might again. It's starting to show the elegance of a young man in an adult competition like the Hundred Flowers Cup!"
"The super handsome boy made four beautiful girls stare at him and forget about the competition!"
Uh, the last one was about Shirō Makino.
After countless people replayed the recording of the first match yesterday, they all discovered a problem.
The four beautiful girls of the Hundred Flowers Art School had indeed focused on Shirō Makino from the beginning.
This gave Shan Gu the perfect opportunity to kill the three of them.
Of course, even if Shan Gu didn't play dirty, those girls were no match for Liu Zhiyuan's team.
This year's Hundred Flower Cup was still dominated by university student teams, but there were also a few very outstanding teams from the underworld.
It was the same two matches in one day, and he also defeated his opponent cleanly, attracting the attention of many people.
For the next two days, Shirō Makino and the others were quite lucky. None of the opponents they met were strong, and they easily won all four matches.
Six consecutive victories!
He had obtained a ticket to the group stage.
As long as it was their match, the officials would definitely broadcast it live.
There wasn't much to watch in the tournament itself. The rising viewership ratings were all because of Shirō Makino!
Even if he hadn't made a single move in six matches, earning himself the title of "Soy Sauce Bro."
It didn't affect his image in the hearts of countless female fans at all.
These female fans who flocked to the stream to watch the Hundred Flower Cup belonged to the group that usually didn't watch this kind of tournament.
Because of Shirō Makino, they all fell in love with the Hundred Flower Cup.
More accurately, it was because of Shirō Makino's Hundred Flower Cup.
As for the others … what was there to watch?
Si Yin didn't go on stage. Even if Shirō Makino kept encouraging her, Si Yin still couldn't break through the psychological barrier.
Wan Xiong's team only used two days to finish the six matches in the qualifiers.
Three matches in one day!
They won all six matches. Sikong Feiyun didn't go on stage, and Moussy didn't make a move either.
The bet between Xiao Peng and Dong Li also became a hot topic.
Countless people were exclaiming that Mr. Dong, who was said to lose every bet, was really going to make a comeback this time!
A group of people clamored to see Brother Niao crossdressing.
However, Brother Niao wasn't someone who would admit defeat so easily. He confidently expressed on his personal social media: It's impossible to see Brother Niao crossdressing. You guys can only put up with it and look at the crossdressing boss, Mr. Dong.
Dong Li reposted it and only replied with a smiling emoji.
Many people started to worry for Brother Niao!
Originally, no one was optimistic about Liu Zhiyuan's team.
Although stealing a mutated treasure chest in an intercity dungeon was shocking, there must have been a lot of luck involved.
However, in this Hundred Flower Cup, Liu Zhiyuan led this team of Year One students and displayed a valiant combat ability that far exceeded their age and level.
In all six matches, they won almost all of them.
This wasn't a result that a weak team could achieve!
Especially in these six matches, from start to finish, Si Yin, who was the most talented in the team, didn't appear.
The only Talisman Artist, Shirō Makino, watched all six matches without participating.
It was three against four every time!
More importantly, this team's tacit understanding was quite shocking. They were able to switch between offense and defense with ease.
They weren't any worse than those university teams that had been working together for years!
Apart from that, there was another interesting thing. In this Hundred Flower Cup, all the teams seemed to be finishing their matches quickly.
This kind of phenomenon had never happened before.
Then, someone gave the reason — Qin Ranran's concert was about to begin.
No one was willing to compete during Qin Ranran's concert!
This was also a mistake made by the organizers. They underestimated the influence of Qin Ranran's concert and didn't take this into consideration when arranging the competition dates.
Even if someone thought of it at that time, they would probably think that the fan groups of both teams wouldn't overlap that much.
In the end, not only did the audience want to see Qin Ranran, but most of the contestants also wanted to watch the concert live!
Qin Ranran's influence was far greater than they had imagined!
As a result, the competition that was supposed to last seven days was finished in only three. The organizers also suffered quite a bit of loss because of this.
Fortunately, they had broadcasted Shirō Makino's matches, and the viewership exceeded all previous competitions!
This could be considered a blessing in disguise.
At this point, all thirty-two teams in the group stage were born.
There were no middle school teams. There were only three high school teams left, all from Hundred Flower High School!
One was Wan Xiong's team, another was Liu Zhiyuan's team, and the last one was also from High School, Wan Xiong's classmates.
Twenty university teams entered the group stage. The remaining nine teams came from the people of Hundred Flower City.
In order to show fairness, the lot-drawing for the group stage was done automatically by the computer.
"Spiritual Battle Emperor, Talisman Emperor, Heavenly Gods, please let us draw the best lot-drawing. Please don't run into those troublesome teams!"
Before the lot-drawing, Shan Gu clasped his hands together, a pious expression on his face as he chanted.
Shirō Makino glanced at him and thought of the chest opening scene in the variant dungeon. He had a bad premonition.
In the stream, Xiao Peng and Dong Li were also paying attention to the lot-drawing for the group stage.
Xiao Peng laughed as he ridiculed: "Actually, I have to say that this kind of fairness isn't necessarily fair. Look, our high school team only has three pitiful seedlings left. What if these three teams are placed in the same group? Although the chances of this happening aren't high, it's not impossible. Sigh, I'm really worried that Liu Zhiyuan's team and Wanxiong Team will run into each other in the group stage, hahahaha … "
Dong Li had a calm smile on his face, but he wasn't without worry.
Because the lot-drawing was completely random, it really was possible that the three teams from Hundred Flower City would be placed in the same group.
Fortunately, this didn't happen. But after looking at the groups, the situation wasn't looking too good for Liu Zhiyuan's team.
They were assigned to Group C. The other three teams that were assigned to Group C were two university teams and one civilian team.
These three teams had all won all six matches!
One of the university teams was especially strong!
The team from Hundred Flowers Normal University was made up of a group of fourth-year students.
There were three males and two females. The three male warriors were a shield warrior, an agility warrior, and an archer.
The two girls were both assassins!
As a branch of agility warriors, assassins were usually more dangerous than other agility warriors.
They had obtained a good result of 13th place in the last Hundred Flowers Cup.
Now that two years had passed, each of them must have improved a lot.
With the existence of such a team, it would be very difficult for Liu Zhiyuan's team to get the first place in the group stage.
The other two teams were also very strong.
However, there was one piece of good news. Wan Xiong's team was placed in the lower half.
The rule of the Hundred Flowers Cup was that the teams in the upper and lower groups wouldn't meet before the finals. That way, if two teams wanted to meet, they would have to fight until the finals.
The good news was that even Dong Li, who had bet with Liu Zhiyuan's team, didn't dare to believe that they could make it to the finals.
But once youths were hot-blooded, who would they be afraid of?
After drawing lots, Shan Gu looked at the match-up chart and was silent for a while. Then, he looked at the others seriously and said, "We must fight until the finals. I hope that Wan Xiong's team can also enter the finals. I said that I would let Moussy know how terrifying a strong archer is on the battlefield! "
Ji Chae Yi nodded. "Don't think so far ahead. Just do your best in every match. We will strive to let Mr. Dong, who always loses, turn the tables! "
Shan Gu laughed. "This time, he will definitely turn the tables!"
Si Yin looked at them carefully and then lowered her head. She felt very useless.
She also wanted to stand in the arena with her teammates. As long as she could fight at the level she was supposed to, it would definitely not be bad.
But the problem was, as long as she thought of fighting with others, the scene of her weapon smashing into the opponent, and even the possibility of killing the opponent in the virtual world … Si Yin's heart couldn't help but tremble.
She was extremely afraid!
Liu Zhiyuan glanced at Si Yin and comforted her with a smile. "Don't worry, it will definitely be better in the future."
"Haha, Si Yin, just watch the show. Watch how I kill everyone!" Shan Gu said with a grin.
After drawing lots, they were about to leave when they met Wan Xiong's team at the entrance. They didn't know why they were delayed, but they came to see the results of the draw.
The two sides bumped into each other and nodded at each other as a greeting.
However, Moussy raised his chin at Shan Gu and said with a cold and arrogant expression, "You guys are lucky this time. You won't have the chance to meet each other in the arena. Otherwise, I will let you know that my talismans are not just for show! "
Shirō Makino raised his head and glanced at Moussy. He frowned and said, "You are really annoying."
Shan Gu reached out and pulled Shirō Makino. Then, he glared at Moussy and suddenly smiled. "Don't worry, we will work hard to fight our way to the finals. By then, if we meet, I will let you know what an archer is!"
