Chapter 469 Knockout draw 【Subscribe】
On the morning of August 1, the New York Arena was once again overcrowded.
In the huge competition center, there are hundreds of huge advertising light boxes and a human-shaped stop sign.
The advertising light box is used to arrange the teams and players who have entered the top 16, and the other teams and players who have stopped the group stage are ordinary stop signs.
The New York Arena is free and open except for the battlefield, so tourists from all over the world are happy to enter the Arena to take photos with supported teams or players.
There were quite a few tourists lined up in front of Chen Wen's light sign, most of them were yellow-skinned, but there were also many white and black people holding Chen Wen's Q version of the profile picture.
In addition to these tourists who clocked in, many spectators who really pay attention to the event have already gathered in front of the Phoenix battle field, watching the upcoming draw ceremony through the big screen set up in front of the battle field.
…
Naturally, not many spectators were willing to pay for tickets for the lottery ceremony.
So as long as the relevant personnel of the school participating in the global competition can go to the scene for free to watch the lottery ceremony.
Everyone from Peking University, Sichuan University and Zhejiang University came.
It's Mo Da, only Gao Yuan and their team leader came.
Ever since they were eliminated in the group stage of the team competition, Moda has been under the rhythm. If Gao Yuan hadn't advanced to the top 16 of the single competition, the two of them would not want to come to broadcast live.
Among the four major colleges and universities, although Beijing University and Magic University are often out of their minds, they have also established a good relationship in the competition.
So, people from Beijing University and Magic University sat together, and Sichuan University and Zhejiang University reported to each other to keep warm.
Under the tacit "care" of both parties, Chen Wen and Fang Qing sat together without any accident.
Chen Wen grasped the void, and instantly grabbed a pear-shaped spiritual fruit out of thin air.
The skin of this spiritual fruit is golden, and a faint aura lingers around it like a cloud. It looks like a fairy fruit from the Nine Heavens.
Holding the spirit fruit, Chen Wen handed it to Fang Qing and said, "The lottery ceremony won't start until a while later, try the spirit fruit I planted."
"You grow it?"
Smelling the dense spiritual energy, Fang Qing was a little greedy, but she didn't reach out, but looked at Chen Wen suspiciously.
"Just take it..."
Chen Wen approached Fang Qing slowly, and whispered to him: "The fourth beast I contracted is a wood elf. This is the spiritual fruit of its symbiotic body. It only takes some time and aura, and it doesn't cost much."
As he spoke, Chen Wen put the spiritual fruit in Fang Qing's hand.
Feeling the hot wind blowing by her ears, Fang Qing's neck turned red, she hummed lightly, took a bite of Juling Fruit.
The pulp melted in the mouth, and the sweet taste instantly occupied Fang Qing's entire mind, and then the juice quickly flowed from the throat to the dantian, turning into warm gas, moistening every pore in her body.
For a while, Fang Qing narrowed her eyes comfortably, and a sense of transparency and comfort arose spontaneously.
Forcibly suppressing the comfortable feeling and not yelling out, Fang Qing looked at Chen Wendao with bright eyes: "Advanced spiritual fruit?"
She only took a small bite, but the rich and pure aura has already filled her whole body.
There is no doubt that this is definitely a high-level spiritual fruit.
Chen Wen nodded, and said: "It is indeed a high-level spirit fruit, but my spirit gathering fruit does not have any special effects, but the attributes contained in it are pure and have no attributes."
Ordinary high-level spirit materials have more or less special effects, which can not only improve various attributes of pets, but can even help pets awaken their talents, such as the lotus seeds that Po has eaten.
Although the Gathering Spirit Fruit is also a high-level Spirit Fruit, it does not have any useful special effects.
The only thing worthy of praise is that the aura of Juling Fruit is a non-attribute pure aura, which can restore the aura of any pet beast and help any pet beast improve its strength.
Fang Qing's eyes lit up, and she saw the value of the Juling Fruit at a glance: "There are very few medicines that can quickly restore spiritual energy. If the Juling Fruit can be stored for a long time, the value is not low."
Chen Wen shrugged and said: "It's not enough for me and Abao to eat, where can I have spare Lingju fruit to sell?"
Now he, Po, Orochimaru, and Er Zhuzi are all promoted to rare, and the two real dragon incarnations are also rare, and the daily consumption is a bottomless pit.
Mu Linger is not even an elite class now, and her result can only satisfy her appetite.
After chatting for a while, the lottery ceremony finally began.
After the brief speech and introduction by the vice president of the Global Beast Masters Association, two hosts appeared on the stage in the field, holding microphones and began to introduce the contestants and teams participating in the lottery to the audience in front of the scene and the live broadcast room.
Following their introduction, the big screen above the battlefield will show the wonderful performance of each team or player.
When Sichuan University and Chen Wen were introduced, there was a lot of applause from the audience, and He Tao even whistled exaggeratedly, the momentum was not small.
"The draw ceremony for the team competition is now underway!"
"Let us once again welcome the sixteen teams that entered the knockout round of the 2023 Global Championship!"
"they are…"
"Imperial Beast Familiar University from England—!"
The five Imperial Beastmasters stood up at the right time, and all performed a gentleman's salute.
The audience in the venue applauded, and there were countless English bullet screens in the live broadcast room.
"From the University of Paris in France—!!"
The five members of the University of Paris blew kisses at the camera in unison.
…
"It's broken, we haven't made it yet?"
Zhao Yue was dumbfounded, "Mr. Hong Bo didn't tell us to prepare for an action?"
Chen Wen and the others nodded and looked at Hong Bo in unison.
"I forgot... as long as you can win the game, what's the use of engaging in these crooked ways?"
Hong Bo was a little embarrassed at first, but he became more confident as he spoke later.
Chen Wen and others were speechless.
"Nishikawa University from China—!!"
Hearing the host's shout, Chen Wen and others stood up together, and they could only simply wave their hands without preparing to move.
Fortunately, the audience cheered and applauded, which made them heave a sigh of relief.
"The United States is still the only one!" He Jie said looking at the list of the top sixteen. "In the team competition, three teams reached the knockout round. Among them, the University of Phoenix and the University of Washington are the first in the group, and the University of Chicago even defeated the Devils. Made it to the knockout rounds."
Su Nian on the side smiled and said: "The United States is indeed strong, but our performance this year is not bad. Although only two teams from Beijing University and Sichuan University have reached the knockout round, they are both the first in the group and almost locked in the two teams. A place in the top eight."
In the top 16 of the team competition, Hua Guo took the first place in the eight groups. This result is already the best result after the United States Federation.
The lottery was drawn very neatly, and soon it was the turn of Xichuan University.
"Good sign!"
Seeing the emblem of the University of Paris appear below the emblem of Xichuan University, Chen Wen immediately applauded.
Seeing this, Fang Qing pondered for a while and said, "The University of Paris is quite strong, so don't underestimate them."
Chen Wen nodded and said, "Don't worry!"
The director was very keen, and immediately cut the camera to focus on the two.
Suddenly, the audience in the Huaguo live broadcast room exploded.
"???"
"When did Chen Wen and Fang Qing have an affair?"
"Chen Wen is still a child?"
"Female junior, Bao Jinshan, you don't know how good my sister is!"
"If Sichuan University avenges Zhejiang University, I will agree to this marriage."
"What kind of horse are you? You still need to agree to get married?"
"By the way... don't you even talk about love?"
"..."
While the audience was talking nonsense, the draw for the team competition finally came to an end.
Chen Wen looked at it, and his luck value seemed to be exhausted after entering the global competition.
In addition to Sichuan University in the lower half, the other three groups are Phoenix University, Tokyo University and Kyoto University.
Phoenix University is the favorite to win the championship, and Kyoto University and Tokyo University are also considered to have the strength of the top four teams, all of which are hard stubble.
Afterwards, Chen Wen's luck was not very good in the grouping of the individual competition.
The round of 16 encountered Oliver Arthur Charles from the United States, and the first place in the group in the same half was Adam from the Vatican, Azim Premji from India, and George Davis from the United States.
Liv Arthur Charles is the prince of England. The three beasts all have epic potential, and they all have rare mid-level and even high-level strengths under the accumulation of resources. His second appearance in the group is only because he unfortunately met the first in the United States. One LeBron Johnson.
Adam is known as a living angel, with six wings on his back, he has a speed comparable to teleportation. What's even more frightening is that so far no one knows which beasts he has contracted.
Needless to say, Azim Premji, defeating Dongfang Jue head-on twice has proved his strength.
George Davis is the beast master second only to LeBron Johnson in the United States, and his main pet, the Golden Dragon, is a beast with legendary potential.
Seeing the roster for the second half of the singles competition, countless viewers watching the live broadcast let out heavy sighs.
Hong Bo, Gong Zikun, Fang Qing and the others all looked serious.
On the contrary, Chen Wen, the person involved, not only looked calm, but also raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Facing such a poor lottery, he showed a bright smile.
