Chapter 300: That Sure Isn't as Fun as Playing Dou Di Zhu
Quickly, under the eager eyes of the audience, the draw results finally came out.
Li Chaoge is in Group B.
Xue Ming is in Group C.
Shou Jingyuan is in Group D.
Situ Yalan is in Group E.
And Ling Zhan is in Group A.
It is worth mentioning that Princess Saint Luni drew herself into Group F.
This immediately caused the players assigned to Groups B and F to wail in distress.
Princess Saint Luni's draw only assigned people to various groups.
The match information is automatically generated by the backstage system.
Now, who will fight whom in the first match is still unknown, and we have to wait for the official announcement.
However, a few minutes later, the official commentator spoke again with a smile.
"Thank you, Princess Saint Luni, for attending the draw!"
"Now the group members are confirmed, and the match tables for each group have been generated!!"
"So now let's not waste words and directly announce the first match of Group A!"
"The first contestant to come up is..."
"The fourth seed from Fusang's Eastern Emperor Academy, Ichikawa Ichiro!"
"His class is Great Onmyoji! Level 62!"
When the official commentator read out this name.
Many people clapped appreciatively.
The Fusang audience at the scene waved their hands and began to cheer loudly for Ichikawa Ichiro!
"Nagashima, do your best!!"
"Ichiro-san! The cherry blossoms of our hometown are blooming for you!"
"Don't disgrace our Eastern Emperor Academy!! Or you'll have to commit seppuku yourself!"
"..."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ichikawa Ichiro walked confidently and arrogantly onto the stage.
He wore Onmyoji robes, with a tachi adorned with gold patterns hanging at his waist.
The Onmyoji class's primary weapon is the 'Cursed Tool.'
The type of 'Cursed Tool' is not fixed; some Onmyoji's 'Cursed Tool' is a tachi, some are bows and arrows, and some are brushes.
In general, the 'Cursed Tool' is a 'weapon that can wield the power of curses.'
The production method is naturally to enchant your favorite weapon with curse power, then this weapon becomes your 'Cursed Tool.'
The 'Cursed Tool' can cast curses, seal, summon shikigami, and form Onmyoji formations, among other things.
Speaking of which.
The methods of the Onmyoji class are indeed varied, similar to the Taoist class in the Dragon Kingdom, both being multifunctional classes.
In fact, tracing back to the origins, the Onmyoji class indeed originated from the Yin-Yang family of the Dragon Kingdom.
It's just that the Onmyoji class flourished in Fusang, so it became a unique class there.
Ichikawa Ichiro being alone indicates that his contracted beast is at most a spirit beast level.
"Who will be his opponent?"
"Commentator! Stop stalling, hurry and announce the other contestant's information!"
At this time.
The audience also began to urge impatiently.
Faced with the audience's urging, the official commentator quickly looked down at the battle table information on the desk.
"Then the opponent of this Great Onmyoji is..."
The official commentator paused.
Then he widened his eyes and excitedly shouted:
"His opponent is the fifth seed from Tianyan Academy in the Dragon Kingdom, Ling Zhan!"
"To mention again! He... is the non-specialist we've all been following!!"
"The day before yesterday, this non-specialist cleared the 1 to 100 levels of the dungeon secret realm with incredible strength!"
"Moreover, he broke Princess Saint Luni's best record! Becoming the current number one in the 1-100 levels dungeon speed run!"
When the official commentator's voice fell.
Wow!!
The entire arena instantly erupted!!
They had already heard of the legendary non-specialist.
After the announcement of the contestant list, the global audience knew that the Dragon Kingdom had a freshman participating!
And this freshman was a non-specialist!
At first, everyone held a dismissive attitude toward this non-specialist.
But the amazing feat this non-specialist did the day before completely changed all the audience's perceptions!
The key is...
He actually broke Princess Saint Luni's dungeon speed run record!
Oh!
My God!!
Such an unusual and monstrous non-specialist, under the influence of fate, appeared on the stage of the opening match!
Since it was the first match, it was special.
So the other arenas did not start simultaneously.
This opening match was truly the center of attention!
"Awesome! We get to see such an exciting match right from the start!"
"Yeah! Let's see if this non-specialist is really as incredible as the rumors say!"
"The relationship between Fusang and the Dragon Kingdom has always been not so good, now meeting on the field, there definitely won't be any holding back!"
"Who do you think has a better chance of winning?"
"Nonsense! It's definitely Ichikawa Ichiro! Speed-running a dungeon and solo PK are completely different situations!"
"I think it's that non-specialist. If he can break Princess Saint Luni's record, it means he has skills!"
"..."
After a brief shock and excitement, the audience naturally started discussing the outcome.
These ordinary people had not seen Ling Zhan's performance at the banquet.
And the Eden Guild's screen was only broadcast live.
The subsequent recording was not made public.
No one at the guild hall dared to use phones or cameras to record at that time.
Even if someone did, they would only dare to watch it privately.
Anyone who dared to publish it would immediately be sought out by the Eden Guild to demand sky-high compensation for the video's copyright.
Don't think they couldn't find you.
Yes...
Nowadays, the world takes copyright very seriously; not a single bit is allowed to leak.
This has led to many audiences only hearing about Ling Zhan from word of mouth.
Including many contestants.
They hadn't seen the live broadcast at that time.
They only knew that this non-specialist's physical strength was indeed terrifying.
Because of this.
Fusang's contestants had long reminded Ichikawa Ichiro.
"If you meet that non-specialist, don't fight him in close combat!"
"Just keep your distance and fight!"
"Take your time; you can definitely wear him down!"
Even Gotou Momoka, a gentle and elegant Fusang woman, was very confident in Ichikawa Ichiro's battle this time.
Compared to Fusang's careful and cautious reminders.
The Dragon Kingdom's reminders seemed much 'rougher.'
Zhou Hongfu earnestly said, "Don't hit too hard, consider the impact on both countries!"
After saying this.
He let Ling Zhan go up alone.
As for the three beast girls...
"King Bomb!!"
Meng Shuang slammed the cards on the table and then threw the remaining five cards.
She raised her hands and cheerfully said, "Three with a pair! I win!!"
Yun Man and Chang Yue sighed and threw their remaining cards.
Situ Yalan curiously turned to Li Chaoge, just about to ask why the three beasts didn't go up with Ling Zhan.
At this moment, the nine-tailed celestial fox beside them, leaning coquettishly against a chair, lazily interjected:
"A task that can be completed in one second, you want these three beasts to go up and catch the breeze?"
Situ Yalan: "..."
Oh, that sure isn't as fun as playing Dou Di Zhu.
