Beast Tamer: The pet is just to help me build a bond

Chapter 305: Draw Lots for Grouping [Subscription Request]

June 4, 18:9 am.

The National College Students’ Beast Taming Competition officially opens.

It was not much different from the opening ceremony of the national competition for high school students. The first thing that happened was the entrance of the representative teams from each school.

Unlike the national competition for high school group, the entrance procession for the national competition for college group is very long, so there are a lot of introductions about each team, including introductions of star players.

"…The first team to enter is the Kyoto University team, which won the team championship in the previous national competition.

There is no need to say much about Kyoto University's strength; whenever they participate in a competition, their goal is always to be first.

The leader of this team is Liu Yu, a senior and the president of the Battle Club. His main pet is a red-eyed pterosaur with epic potential...

In addition to the juniors and seniors, Kyoto University also has some amazing newcomers this year.

Dongfang Jue, a sophomore student at Peking University, stood out from many outstanding students at a young age and represented the school in the national competition. This makes people marvel at his speed of progress..."

When the host introduced Dongfang Jue, the photographer next to him immediately focused the camera on his face.

In an instant, a handsome and flawless face appeared on the big screen, and was also seen by thousands of viewers watching the live broadcast in front of the screen.

The audience in the live broadcast room seemed to be stunned, so much so that the barrage of comments that were flooding the screen disappeared for a while.

After a moment, the number of barrages suddenly exploded.

"I can! I can!!!"

"Is this a brother or a sister?"

"Isn't this so beautiful?"

"At this moment, I finally realized that true love transcends gender!"

"..."

For a time, Dongfang Jue gained thousands of fans simply by virtue of his good looks.

Some of his early fans were frantically posting comments to recommend him.

"Brother doesn't make a living by his looks!"

"He won the national championship in the high school category two years ago."

"My brother is now the main player of Beijing University. Beijing University's main players have always been the strongest contenders for the championship."

"..."

There was a "riot" in the live broadcast room, but the situation at the scene was fine.

After all, it’s understandable for girls to scream when seeing a handsome guy in real life, but boys have to be reserved, otherwise they will be treated as perverts.

Many of those who came to watch the opening ceremony were respectable people with good self-control.

After the Beijing University team, the Demon University team followed.

As the defending champions of the national singles competition, they also received a lot of applause.

After that, it was the Sichuan University team’s turn.

Sichuan University is actually not weak, but unfortunately its talented people in previous years have been snatched away by Peking University and Magic University, so it can only follow behind the two famous universities.

This is also the reason why Liu Jianguo was willing to use his epic potential pet to recruit Chen Wen.

He wanted to let his superiors know that Sichuan University could produce geniuses and outstanding people.

The reason why the previous teaching results were not as good as those of the two major universities was not because Sichuan University was not good, but because the resources invested were not enough and the quality of students was not good.

"…Now on the field is the Nishikawa University team.

I believe you are all very familiar with Xichuan University. As one of the top beast taming schools in my country, it has achieved good results in previous national competitions. I hope they can achieve better results this year. …

It is worth mentioning that this year, the Sichuan University team has the youngest player in this national competition, Chen Wen, who is only 18 years old.

Student Chen Wen has made rapid progress. Last year he was competing with apprentice-level beastmasters for the national championship in the high school group, but this year he has already entered the ranks of elite-level beastmasters. It's incredible!
......"

Dongfang Jue’s age was already unbelievable before, and now when the audience heard Chen Wen’s age again, their eyes widened when they got to know Chen Wen for the first time.

The path of a beastmaster becomes increasingly difficult the higher you advance.

In the outside world, a huge number of people are stuck at each level of Beast Tamers, and countless Beast Tamers are stuck in one level and cannot break through.

And Chen Wen actually broke through to the elite level in less than two years, which made many people feel that they were wasting their time.

Listening to the exclamations from the audience, Chen Wen felt proud but also a little regretful. He sighed, "It's a pity that the shock I received cannot be converted into system points."

I don’t know if it’s because the organizer has not changed, but the procedures for the national competitions for the university and high school groups are almost the same.

After entering, the leader will give a speech and then announce the rules of the game.

This national competition is divided into individual and team competitions. The two competitions are held alternately. Although the schedule is tight, they will not interfere with each other.

The two competitions use the same competition system, which is divided into two stages: the group stage and the knockout stage.

The group stage is a round-robin tournament, in which the sixty-four schools are divided into eight groups, with eight teams or players in each group. The competition is in a round-robin format, with the winner getting three points, the draw getting one point each, and the loser getting zero points.

After the round-robin tournament, the two teams or individuals with the highest scores advance. If there is a tie, a play-off will be held until the final places are determined.

The knockout round is a single-elimination tournament. After the group round-robin tournament determines the top 16, the teams are re-drawn to form groups for the knockout round until the national champion is decided.

Chen Wen calculated that whether it was a singles match or a team match, at least seven games would be needed in the group round-robin tournament.

If the schedule is concentrated, it may even lead to a tragic situation where one person plays 14 games in two days.

Of course, this is the worst case scenario, and organizers generally won't do such an outrageous thing.

After reading out the rules of the competition, the referee said loudly: "Next, please invite Deputy Minister of Education Gao Song to continue to host the draw and grouping for everyone!"

There is only one organizer of the national competition for the university group, which is the Ministry of Education, so only leaders from the Ministry of Education attended.

The national competition is considered a qualifier for the global competition, so in order to protect strong teams and players, seeded teams and seeded players are specially set up. When drawing lots for groups, the seeded teams or players will be separated so that they will not meet in the group stage.

Sichuan University had a seeded seat in the team competition, and Chen Wen himself also had a seeded seat in the individual competition, so it was very easy for him to be grouped.

Soon, the grouping ended.

In the end, Sichuan University was placed in Group D, which included the more famous beast-taming schools Black Dragon University and South China University.

The representative teams of both schools have a good foundation and have reached the semi-finals before, so they should not be underestimated.

Unless a dark horse emerges, the rest of the teams will not pose a threat to Sichuan University's qualification.

The singles competition groups were named after the Heavenly Stems, and Chen Wen was placed in Group A.

Chen Wen didn't pay attention to the other players in the group.

It’s not that he looked down on other players, it’s mainly because he was busy with special training this month and didn’t collect any information at all.

Therefore, he was completely clueless when he saw any name. He had no idea who the other party was or what strength the other party had.

In this case, Chen Wen will not waste his brain cells.

He decided to make me the priority.

He is a seeded player, normally...

He shouldn't encounter a very strong opponent before the knockout round.
