The four teams gathered at the Hundred Flowers City Competition Center.
The competition had finally reached the semi-finals. The teams from the first half of the competition were No.1 High School's Class One and a team from the private sector.
Compared to the high school students whose average age was sixteen or seventeen, this private sector team was much older.
According to public information, the average age of this team was twenty-seven.
They were ten years older than Shirō Makino and the others.
However, no one would look down on this team because of this. In fact, they were already very impressive.
To be able to reach the semi-finals in a city with a population of ten million, their strength was naturally not to be underestimated.
However, if one were to look at this match from another angle, they would have a feeling that this team from Grade One Class 1 from No.1 High School was really strong!
The team from the second half of the competition was also from No.1 High School. It was No.1 High School's Class One, led by Wan Xiong.
This time, No.1 High School was completely famous.
Although No.1 High School had always been famous, as the best high school in Hundred Flowers City, it naturally had a high status in people's hearts.
However, this time, in the inter-city cup for adults, two teams actually made it into the top four. This was a little unexpected.
The other team from the second half of the competition was from Hundred Flowers Spirit Warrior University. This was a rather mature team.
They had obtained a good result of thirty-seventh place in the Feixian University Student League.
Yes, this was what people recognized as a 100% good result.
The Flying Celestial Planet had more than a thousand third-class cities, more than a hundred second-class cities, and thirty-six first-class cities!
There were countless powerful schools!
Not everyone could be like Wan Xiong, who could lead a team all the way to the top ten of the planet and qualify for the Empire League.
Previously, there were many bets that the two teams from No.1 High School would eventually meet in the finals.
However, after the strength of the private sector team in the first half of the competition suddenly increased, there was a slight change in the direction of the bets.
No.1 High School's Class One was indeed a dark horse, and they had the Talisman Artist as their leader. However, it was not easy for them to defeat a Spirit Warrior Level 3716 opponent.
In particular, the sudden change in the rules of the competition added a lot of uncertain factors to the situation of this competition.
In the competition center, Wan Xiong greeted Shirō Makino and the others.
Although he was still a little sad when he saw Ji Chae Yi, he felt much better. At the very least, there was no unnatural cowardice.
He was, after all, a young man with lofty ambitions. He would not be restrained by love.
"I heard that the change in the rules of the competition this time was the result of the opinions of the big shots."
Wan Xiong glanced at Shirō Makino and the others, and said softly: "Important people from above …"
Shirō Makino and the others had already heard about the arrival of an important figure, but they had never heard of such an important figure interfering in this matter.
Shan Gu said, "It's been so many days, why hasn't the big shot left yet?"
Wan Xiong gently shook his head. "He came here because he has other matters to attend to. Paying attention to our match is just a convenience."
Shirō Makino felt a little emotional. An important figure could change the rules of the Intercity Cup with just a casual sentence … he was indeed an important figure!
"Therefore, I hope that you all do well. We'll see you in the finals!" Wan Xiong said with a smile, then turned around and left.
Moussy stood at the side, his expression indiscernible.
It seemed that he had matured a lot after the baptism of the cup.
But everyone still disliked him.
Without a solid foundation, it would not be easy to change other people's impression of him.
Pan Xiangwen and Li Qiufeng were still smiling, seemingly in a good mood.
Sikong Feiyun …
She seemed to be in a good mood!
Originally, this big sister was quite aloof, and rarely communicated with people other than her teammates.
But this time, she was actually by Wan Xiong's side. While Wan Xiong was chatting with Shirō Makino, Shan Gu, and the others, she was talking and laughing with Ji Chae Yi and Si Yin.
She even held Ji Chae Yi's hand and rubbed Si Yin's head.
Ji Chae Yi had known her for a long time. Previously, because of Wan Xiong's pursuit, she was only a nodding acquaintance. Seeing that she took the initiative this time, the big sister was also very happy.
Not everyone liked to be pursued, and the big sister did not like it. Since young, she had never lacked vanity, and was used to it.
While they were chatting and laughing, Sun Zhuangzhi's team was a little quiet.
While Liu Zhiyuan, Shirō Makino, and the other youths were chatting with Wan Xiong and the others, they were also secretly paying attention to the other side's reaction.
There was no reaction from the other side.
Just like before, they found a corner. They didn't communicate with others, and they didn't communicate with each other.
They didn't feel anything before, but now that they looked at them, they felt that something was wrong.
Shirō Makino also found the archer, Sun Zhuangzhi. He was a handsome man. He was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and he was sitting on a chair elegantly.
If Sister Guo hadn't said it herself, he would never have thought that such a young man would do such a thing and say such things.
Sun Heng's words to him that day were right — it's hard to draw a dragon or a tiger, but it's hard to draw a person's bones. You may know a person's face, but not his heart.
The other top four team, the people from Hundred Blossom Spirit Warrior University, seemed to be very relaxed. They sat in another corner, chatting and laughing softly. They even glanced at Shirō Makino's side from time to time.
One of the pretty girls saw that Shirō Makino was looking at them, and even smiled sweetly at Shirō Makino and winked.
Tsk, it seemed that she really didn't feel any pressure, and only knew how to flirt.
Come to think of it, there was no point in feeling pressure. Anyone would feel a little hopeless against a team like Wan Xiong's.
As adults, they knew how to relax.
Then, the officials entered and began the lot-drawing ceremony.
This had to be broadcasted live to show fairness.
Dong Li and Xiao Peng were also sitting in the live broadcast room, introducing the four teams in detail, analyzing the various terrains that could appear, and the advantages and disadvantages of each team in such terrains.
Then, the lot-drawing began.
The first group to be drawn was the upper half.
Everyone was very nervous. The whole lot-drawing process only took three to five seconds, but to the two teams, it seemed like a long time.
Finally, a huge line of words appeared on the live screen —
Ancient ruins.
The moment the words appeared, the teenagers on Shirō Makino's side were all stunned.
Ancient ruins terrain?
Who had ever fought that!
They had never even been there before!
In the virtual world's instance dungeons, they often chose jungles, grasslands, cities, and occasionally deserts, swamps, mining areas, and so on.
The creatures in each terrain were different, and the experience gained was also different.
Jungles alone could be divided into dozens of different types, such as coniferous forests, broad-leaved forests, shrubs, primeval forests, hills, snowy mountains, and so on.
It would take a long time to memorize all these terrains.
It would take at least a few years, or even longer, for him to completely understand every single terrain.
Therefore, everyone had thought that the randomly selected terrain might be relatively unfamiliar, but they did not expect it to be such a completely unfamiliar terrain!
Not to mention entering, even on the vast internet, it was difficult to find a few videos related to the ruins.
After all, exploring ruins was a very private matter, and almost no one would put such videos on the internet.
In the virtual world, this kind of terrain was considered to be especially high-end.
It was not something you could choose just because you wanted to!
You needed to reach a certain age, level, and points in the virtual world to be able to choose this kind of terrain.
In other words, even the current Wan Xiong had no right to choose the ancient ruins terrain in the virtual world!
This was getting interesting.
First, a big shot intervened and changed the rules of the Hundred Flowers Cup, then someone came to destroy the shop, and finally, they chose the damn ancient ruins terrain …
The teenagers looked at each other. Was this a coincidence?
