Guandong region, Quartz Plateau.
This was not the first time Mo Yan had been here. Compared to before, he was obviously more valued as a Heavenly King trainer. There were staff to receive him from the airport.
After registering, checking in, and getting the competition instructions, Mo Yan did not stay in the room. Instead, he wandered around the hotel slowly with the excited Pikachu.
Because the Alliance would hold all kinds of competitions here every year, there were either hotels or food streets around the venue.
Occasionally, one could see one or two elven cultivation houses opened by elven trainers. They specialized in helping the elves participating in the competition to relieve pressure and adjust their state.
Now that the Heavenly King Tournament was about to begin, a large number of tourists and contestants had come here, so the streets were very lively.
"Pikapi!"
Pikachu suddenly scratched Mo Yan's ear, then looked expectantly at a snack stall not far away. The sound of its nose twitching and saliva swallowing clearly reached Mo Yan's ears.
"Boss, what's this?"
Mo Yan walked to the snack stall and followed Pikachu's gaze to a string of yellow fruits.
"Hahaha, this is sugar-coated haws made from sour pear. It's the favorite of electric elves. Your Pikachu must have smelled it."
"Pikachu ~"
When Pikachu heard the boss's words, it could no longer agree and nodded crazily. Its saliva was about to fly out.
"Okay, two skewers, a big skewer! Is it enough, Pikachu? "
"Pikapi!"
Pikachu stretched out its small hand and wanted to make a "???" (?????)?????”， But when it saw that the whole street was selling food, it immediately nodded in satisfaction. Obviously, it wanted to leave some space for other delicious food.
"Okay, Pikachu, hold it tight ~"
"Pikapi!"
Pikachu carefully took the sugar-coated haws and then thanked the boss seriously.
"Hehe, take care. Come again if you have something good to eat!"
"Pikapi!"
Mo Yan and Pikachu continued to stroll around for a while. After they were full from the snacks, Pikachu, who was stuffed to the brim, slowly walked back to the hotel.
Back in the room, Pikachu jumped out of Mo Yan's arms and started to play the adventure game. Mo Yan sat in front of his desk and carefully browsed through the tournament instructions.
There were a total of five regions participating in this year's Spirit Alliance Quasi-heavenly King Tournament. They were Guandong, Chengdu, Fangyuan, Shenao, and Juren.
Yes, after a long period of communication, the Juren Alliance finally recognized the leading position of the Guandong Alliance. However, Mo Yan didn't care about the mutual benefits involved.
This also meant that it was very likely that Mo Yan would meet Lian Wu, Hua She, and the others that he knew from Juren. After all, according to their age, they should have broken through to the Quasi-Heavenly King Stage.
With the addition of the new and old trainers from other regions, this tournament would definitely be very exciting.
"I'm really looking forward to it!" Mo Yan mumbled to himself and continued reading.
"Group Round-Robin Tournament, Doubles Mode?"
After carefully thinking about it twice, Mo Yan quickly understood the rules of the preliminaries.
Although the number of people who signed up was unknown, in the preliminary round, everyone would be randomly assigned to 16 groups.
Then, the groups would have a two-on-two Doubles Tournament. Winning a match would earn you three points, drawing one point, and losing a match would earn you zero points.
In the end, each group would only have two people who would qualify, and the 32 people who qualified would be the top 32 of this tournament!
After the preliminary round, they would directly enter the Ranking Tournament. In the Ranking Tournament, their opponents would be randomly matched and they would fight in a "2 + 1 + 1" format. It was a mixed mode of one Doubles Tournament and two Singles Tournament.
The winners would advance and fight for a higher ranking until the top 4 were determined.
The losers would also have to compete to determine the final ranking.
In the end, the top 4 would have a 6V6 Round-Robin Tournament again. Winning a match would earn you three points, and drawing one point.
The person with the highest score would naturally be the champion of this tournament.
After thinking about the rules of the tournament, Mo Yan only had one thought in his mind. It was too difficult!
From the beginning, it was a two-on-two competition, followed by a four-on-four competition, and finally a six-on-six competition.
This meant that if a participant only had six Quasi-Heavenly King Sprites, it would be almost impossible for them to reach the end.
But similarly, if only one sprite was used to determine the strength of a Quasi-Heavenly King Trainer, it would also easily arouse dissatisfaction. After all, there was too much chance in this.
Therefore, it was a two-on-two competition, and it was a round-robin competition.
The final winner of such a competition would definitely convince everyone.
It was just that those trainers who did not have many sprites would suffer. Either they could be strong enough to crush them all the way, or they could only accompany them two more times and slowly accumulate their foundation.
And after fighting with trainers of the same level many times, the level of their sprites and their own abilities would naturally be improved by quite a bit.
Before breaking through to the Heavenly King Realm, all the Quasi-Heavenly King Trainers who wanted to become stronger were not willing to miss such a competition!
Three days later, the Quasi-Heavenly King Tournament officially began!
During this period, Mo Yan only used his meal time to meet with friends from various regions.
At the same time, he also found Joey Lixiang, who also belonged to the Brave Dragons team, and asked her to be his special medical staff for this competition.
Because of the matter of Tokiwa Force, Mo Yan still did not dare to take the risk of letting George follow him to participate in the competition.
Now that Sakaki's identity on the surface had been cleared, who knew if she would be invited to watch the competition?
It was not impossible!
Fortunately, Joey Lixiang was also an extremely outstanding existence among the younger generation of the Joey family, so it was naturally not a problem for her to be in charge of Mo Yan's medical work.
For so many years, the relationship between Mo Yan and the Joey family had always been above friendly, but not close enough.
This delicate balance made both sides unwilling to toss around any more, and instead better adhere to the principle of friendship and mutual assistance.
When the registration for this year's Quasi-Heavenly King Tournament ended, the total number of participants was finally confirmed, a total of 176 people!
If they were divided into 16 groups, it was equivalent to everyone having to participate in ten round-robin matches.
If ten groups were to compete at the same time, and each person participated in two matches a day, then the preliminary round would take at least five days!
Thinking of this, although Mo Yan was already prepared, he could not help but take in a breath of cold air.
But since he had already decided to participate, Mo Yan naturally would not shrink back at the last minute. Moreover, his sprites were not few, and could barely form two teams, which was enough!
Finally, the Quasi-Heavenly King Tournament officially began, and Mo Yan also walked into the main stadium with the other hundred or so participants.
On the rostrum, President Damaran was looking at the participants below with gratification.
These were the backbone of the Sprite Alliance, and any one of them was a powerhouse who could protect the peace of a region!
