On the rostrum.
A high school teacher from the organizers stood up. He seemed to be a leader as he began to read the rules and introduced the eleven teams that had entered the current round.
Then, it was time for the team leaders to draw lots.
This time, there were five matches at the same time. They were all held in the first district and the first arena.
The competition schedule was very concentrated, and the winning and losing principle was to win three out of five matches.
This meant that if a team of six people was lucky enough, one of them would not even need to make a move to secure the victory. Or … if they were unlucky, the other three would not even need to make a move to lose.
Of course, there had been cases of losing three matches in a row, and then the other three would win three matches in a row. In the end, it was a tragic situation of winning four out of seven matches.
The real-time ranking was as follows — —
Phoenix City Second High School.
Hidden Dragon No. 1 High School.
Fenghai No. 3 High School.
Yangluo No. 1 High School.
Water City No. 1 High School.
Southern Ji No. 1 High School.
Shikou No. 1 High School.
Phoenix Tail No. 1 High School.
Cang Mountain No. 1 High School.
Dragon Belly No. 1 High School.
Garrison No. 1 High School.
There were a total of eleven teams, and no one was absent.
Besides Phoenix City Second High School and Fenghai No. 3 High School, the other martial arts schools were all from the same city!
It could be seen that the so-called "No. 1 High School is the key" mentality was almost the same in the entire continent!
It was also the place where the geniuses gathered!
Hidden Dragon No. 1 High School. The men wore black robes, and the women wore plain long skirts. They were valiant and formidable-looking. The men were handsome, and the women were beautiful. They were all tall and slender. Looking at them, they were a scenery!
Four men and two women. They were outstanding.
Fenghai No. 3 High School was dressed in black. No matter the men or women, they were all the same. They had a unique style.
Water City No. 1 High School. Three men and three women were dressed in snow-white clothes. The sword hilts were exposed on their shoulders. They were like six sharp swords that had been unsheathed. The cold light flickered, and they were indomitable!
Yangluo No. 1 High School. They were all dressed in blue robes. The six of them were all men. They sat cross-legged on the ground with their eyes closed. They did not care about their surroundings.
The other schools also had their own unique characteristics.
The most eye-catching people from Phoenix City Second High School. The first impression they gave was only one word — — Rustic!
How uncouth!
It was probably because these guys were wearing the school uniform with the school emblem embroidered on it. Originally, if this was the end of it, it would still be passable. However, the neat words on their backs — Phoenix City's Second High School — pulled down the style of this set of uniform by a few notches!
It was as if they were afraid that others wouldn't know that they were from Phoenix City's Second High School.
A martial arts teacher walked out with a box of lots in his hands.
"The drawing of lots begins. All team leaders, please step forward to draw lots."
Zuo Xiaoduo stood up calmly, and the eleven captains took a step forward from their respective teams. None of them continued to walk forward. Instead, they swept their eyes across the faces of the other ten people.
The eleven of them felt their faces burning at the same time, as if there were ten different weapons circling around their faces.
Behind them, all the teachers in charge stood up at the same time, retreated four positions, and sat down on the spectator stand.
According to the rules, they were not allowed to stay beside the team.
In other words, from now on, all decisions could only be made by the team itself.
All the teachers in charge had a look of worry on their faces.
Even if they were full of confidence in the team they were leading, there was no weakling among the remaining teams!
No one dared to guarantee that their own students would win, take the lead, and come out on top!
Even the teachers in charge of Hidden Dragon No. 1 High School, who had always had the highest chance of winning, felt extremely uneasy at this moment.
After all, it wasn't as if there hadn't been strange occurrences before. The simplest example was that the first and second strongest teams had drawn lots together. After an extreme battle, both sides had suffered losses.
In the end, a student whose overall strength was below theirs easily took the lead and became the champion.
Although luck was also a part of strength, and a very large part of it, losing like this was still not something one could accept!
Therefore, this drawing of lots … was luck, but it was also a skill!
Zuo Xiaoduo was the first to speak, breaking the silence with a laugh.
"Hahahaha … Everyone hasn't moved yet. I guess everyone is waiting for me, who is ranked first, to move first? No problem, no problem. After all, not only is our Phoenix City No. 2 High School ranked first, but now it seems that among the eleven captains, I'm also the tallest. "
Zuo Xiaoduo laughed and took the lead to walk out: "Why don't we just line up according to height and walk over together? It'll look so neat!"
The other ten captains all rolled their eyes.
This guy … Who wants to line up with you?
Why should we listen to you?
If we were to listen to you, wouldn't we become your accessories?!
Therefore, after Zuo Xiaoduo, the ten captains all stepped out and walked towards the high platform in ten different directions.
Neither fast nor slow, their footsteps were firm, and they moved forward courageously.
The aura of the ten captains was sharp.
Zuo Xiaoduo quickened his pace and was the first to arrive in front of the lot box. He said sweetly: "Thank you teacher. Teacher, you've worked hard. When you come to Phoenix City, please let me know. This student will do his best to be a good host. Thank you teacher for your hard work today. "
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and drew the first lot under the teacher's comfortable smile.
Without even looking, he retreated to the side.
The next moment.
The ten captains came to the lot box and stretched out their hands at the same time —
The host teacher, who was originally full of kindness, frowned at once.
Originally, nothing had happened. Everything was normal.
However, after seeing Zuo Xiaoduo's sweet-talking and extraordinarily polite scene …
Why did this teacher feel that … these ten captains seemed to be a little lacking in quality?!
The teacher has been standing here for so long. You don't even know how to thank me?
You're stretching out your hands?
Are you robbing me?
What about your upbringing? What about your manners?
He couldn't help but take a step back and frowned: "What are you doing? Line up, one by one! I've already done everything for you in front. Why is it still so noisy? Where's your decency?! "
The ten captains' outstretched hands stopped in mid-air. They turned their heads and glared fiercely at Zuo Xiaoduo.
This bastard, he had unknowingly led them into another pit.
Damn, why did I say "another"?!
Zuo Xiaoduo, who was being glared at by everyone, still had an honest smile on his face. He looked at everyone with eyes full of encouragement and said with a face full of righteousness: "Why are you looking at me? Just listen to your teacher. Teacher has such a good temper. How can I really be angry with you?"
The ten captains were so angry that they almost fainted.
If it weren't for the last trace of rationality holding them back, they would have attacked him on the spot and beaten this bastard until half of his body was paralyzed.
This bastard had an innocent and honest look on his face. However, only those who were involved in the situation knew that every word he said was a trap, and every sentence had a hook!
How could there be such a despicable person in this world?!
How on earth did he train to look so simple and honest?!
Was this talent, or was it because of hard work and hard work?!
With a belly full of anger, they took a step back and took turns to draw lots. When they were drawing lots, everyone said, "Teacher, you've worked hard."
This sentence was originally very normal.
However, after this, why did it feel so suffocating when they said this sentence?
They felt suffocated, but they didn't know that the teacher in charge of drawing lots was even more annoyed than them.
If you don't want to say hello, then don't. Every one of you gritted your teeth and said, "Teacher, you've worked hard." I'm really f * cking a dog!
Are you f * cking saying hello to me, or are you venting your anger on me?!
There really was no harm without comparison. Now they knew what was gold and what was rubble!
After the drawing of lots, this teacher didn't leave immediately. Instead, he stood on the stage and said a few words.
"There's something that I didn't want to say, but I really have to say it."
The teacher held the empty lot box with a gloomy expression on his face.
"Our Central Plains' Longhu Ranking Competition is held once a year. The original intention was good, but now, there are really too many things that don't suit our Central Plains. One after another, they keep coming one after another. I have to say a few words. "
"I'm just a teacher, and I know that my words carry little weight. However, standing here, I still have to remind everyone! What kind of place is the land that we're occupying?! "
"This is the land of Ancient Qi and Guru in the ancient times. It's also the land of the saints in the legends, the land of etiquette! Not only that, it's said to be the ancient land of gods! "
"In the ancient times, when students enter the examination hall, they have to kowtow to the teacher to thank him for his efforts. An invigilator, a teacher for a day, but a father for life! This is called etiquette! "
"I don't expect you to know etiquette, and I don't expect you to be grateful for a lifetime. However, at the very least, you have to have basic etiquette, right? "
This teacher said resentfully, "But I don't understand … Now that you've learned martial arts, carried the title of a genius, and achieved great success, you can disregard respect and completely ignore etiquette? What kind of saying is this?! "
"All the teachers here have come from all over the world. Their original intention is to recruit students for their own schools, but it's also for the safety of these competitions! We don't have anything else, only the school's salary and prize money. Coming here, we don't have a single cent of profit! Then, why did we come? "
"After so many days of competition, who would first ask 'Teachers have worked hard' before going up the stage? If we disregard a few extremely rare students, this sentence is almost completely unheard of! "
"It seems that the teachers' efforts, maintenance, and everything else is what they should do! Everything is so natural and logical! Everything is fair and reasonable! "
"Is it really so? Is it like this? Is it so natural and right? Tens of thousands of miles, thousands of miles, coming here from afar, under the scorching sun, taking care of, maintaining, protecting … "
"Is it so natural and right?"
This teacher's voice was stern. "Where has your respect for your teachers gone? Where has your respect and admiration gone? Where is your gratefulness hidden? Have your manners and respect been eaten by dogs? "
"Especially you ten captains. As captains, are you supposed to set an example for others?!"
"Just because Zuo Xiaoduo came up to greet you, you are dissatisfied, and so you are collectively indignant to this extent? You feel that you are being controlled? That you are being manipulated? That you are being framed? That you are being set up? "
"This is supposed to be natural and right. How can it be a trap in your eyes? How can it be a trap? How can it be a scheme? "
"Is your self-esteem and pride so unattainable and untouchable?"
"Look at your eyes, it's as if you want to swallow Zuo Xiaoduo alive. Why? It's a very normal thing, a very ordinary greeting. How can it be worth bearing such a grudge? "
"Since you don't want to greet me, just draw a lot and get lost. Do you think I care about you calling me teacher? In the end, all of you are gritting your teeth and greeting me with an ashen face … Are you greeting me or cursing me? "
"In the future, when you come up to draw lots, other than Zuo Xiaoduo, don't greet me! I am just Xiao's teacher, and I don't deserve a greeting from you bunch of geniuses! "
On the stage, this teacher vented his anger for a long time. His face was ashen, and he left in a huff!
