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

Chapter 470: Move to Chicago [Subscribe]

With the conclusion of the draw ceremony, the schedule of the global competition was immediately finalized.

Online, discussions about the draw have just begun to heat up, with many experts and beastmasters taking advantage of the global competition's popularity to publicly comment on and predict the upcoming round of 16, and even looking ahead to the prospects of the major seeded teams and players.

In China, the popularity of Peking University, Sichuan University, Chen Wen, Liu Yu and others remains high.

In the team competition, Sichuan University and Peking University are both favored to advance from the round of 16.

After all, they are the first in the group, and the opponents of both teams in the round of 16 are not too strong.

However, after advancing to the quarterfinals, both teams will face great challenges.

Kyoto University, if it advances to the quarterfinals, will inevitably face Phoenix University, the favorite to win the championship.

Phoenix University can be regarded as an enhanced version of Kyoto University. It also uses a combination of pets to perform fire-attribute combo skills. In addition to the phoenix with legendary potential, Phoenix University also has two pets with epic potential in its main pet lineup.

Due to the tactical collision and the inferior strength, many people have already announced the ranking of Beijing University in advance.

Quarterfinals, can’t be any higher!

In comparison, Nishikawa University's possible opponent in the quarterfinals, the University of Tokyo, is a bit weaker, but its main lineup also has only three epic potential pets.

The only player worth watching in Sichuan University’s lineup is Abao.

As each game goes on, more and more of Po's strength and trump cards will be exposed, and he will inevitably be targeted endlessly.

As long as Abao is silent, Xichuan University will come to a halt.

A team like the University of Tokyo, which has three epic potential pets as its core, is difficult to target because it is always difficult to deal with them.

In fact, since the global competition began, the teams that won the team competition have always been multi-core teams.

Therefore, people abroad generally do not think Sichuan University can make it to the semi-finals.

Although domestic audiences support Sichuan University, they know in their hearts that the chances of defeating the University of Tokyo are not high.

In the singles competition, the four Chinese players were not very lucky either.

Liu Yu, Gao Yuan and Dongfang Jue were all unfortunately placed in the upper half.

Among them, Liu Yu was lucky, as his opponent in the round of 16 was Ares Solomon, who was defeated by Chen Wen.

Gao Yuan and Dongfang Jue are pure unlucky guys.

Gao Yuan encountered England's top college student, Baker Arthur. It was estimated that the three-headed Chimaera could not exert more than 80% of its full strength, so defeat was foreseeable.

Dongfang Jue met Ivan Rogoff, the top Russian college student, and his hopes of advancing were equally slim.

And Chen Wen...

In the round of 16, he will meet the Prince of England, and in the quarterfinals, he will most likely face George Davis, the second devil among the American federal college students.

If he continues to advance, his opponent will be either Azim Premji, who is known as the reincarnation of Buddha, or Adam, who is known as the six-winged angel, neither of whom is human.

After carefully analyzing the draw results, there was a lot of lamentations on the Internet. Some even said that there was something fishy about the draw, and that the Global Beastmaster Association secretly manipulated the draw results to suppress Chinese opponents and players.

This situation is quite normal.

Every time the draw ceremony for the global competition is over, the Global Beast Tamer Association will be slandered and cursed. Whether there is really a shady deal or not, only the top leaders of the Global Beast Tamer Association know.

……

Amid the chaos on the Internet, Chen Wen and others had already packed their luggage and boarded a flight to Chicago.

After the knockout rounds, each round of matches will be held in different cities across the federation.

Among them, the round of 16 will be held in Chicago, the quarterfinals will be held in Houston, the semi-finals will be held in Los Angeles, and the final will return to New York again.

The reason for this is mainly to use the popularity of the global competition to attract tourists, boost local economic development, and showcase the spirit of the United States... The flight time from New York to Chicago is nearly three hours.

As soon as he got on the plane, Chen Wen found his seat and prepared to close his eyes and rest.

At this moment, Liu Yu from the front row walked over.

"What's wrong?" Chen Wen asked puzzledly.

Liu Yu directly stated his purpose and said, "Do you have any training matches scheduled after you arrive in Chicago? Single-player matches."

His opponent in the round of 16 was Chen Wen's defeated opponent. Although he was not afraid of Ares Solomon, Liu Yu still wanted to know more about his opponent in advance.

In addition, the other three group leaders in the upper half were the first players from the United States, England and Russia, which made him feel Alexander.

At a time when short-term strength cannot be improved, the only way is to improve combat experience by spending more time in the training room and figure out some applicable tactics.

Chen Wen is very strong and is in the lower half of the draw. Unless both sides reach the finals, there will be no chance for them to meet in advance, so he thinks Chen Wen is the best sparring partner.

Chen Wen nodded in understanding and said, "I usually only play team training matches, not single-player matches..."

Chen Wen did not lie. The system had the function of a gambling square, and he and Abao often went in to earn points.

As the winning rate increased, it became difficult for Po and his friends to earn points, but evenly matched battles quickly improved their combat capabilities and helped them accumulate experience in fighting with various pets.

If not for this, Abao and the other pets, which are still young in terms of age, would not have such strong combat power as they do now.

When Liu Yu was feeling disappointed, Chen Wen said, "But it would be nice to play a few games in the training room."

The system has improved Po and the others’ experience in fighting alone, but their experience in team combat is average. Playing training matches with Liu Yu can improve their tacit understanding.

Liu Yu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Just agree if you want to. Why are you taking a deep breath on purpose?"

Although the lower half is also full of experts, he is optimistic that Chen Wen will stand out from them.

With a finals-level sparring partner, he believed that he and his pet would definitely learn something.

Gong Zikun, who was standing by, listened to the conversation between the two and said, "We can also make an appointment for the team competition. After all, if we really meet, it will be in the semi-finals. We don't have to worry too much about leaking tactics or anything like that."

Zhejiang University and Magic University also took off today, but their flights were to domestic destinations.

Many of them are seniors who had delayed graduation in order to participate in competitions, and now have to rush back to deal with graduation issues.

Without Zhejiang University, Sichuan University will not be able to find a good sparring partner.

Liu Yu thought about it and said, "I'll discuss it with Teacher Li later."

Not long after Liu Yu returned, Hong Bo talked with Li Qingsong, the leader of the Beijing University team, and arranged a corresponding training match.

Under normal circumstances, teams or players in the same half of the zone do not practice together.

However, if Kyoto University wants to engage in a civil war with Sichuan University, the prerequisite is to overthrow Phoenix University.

To be honest, although the people from Kyoto University appear to be full of confidence on the surface, few of them really think that Kyoto University can beat Phoenix University.

Since the probability of the two teams meeting is low, there is no problem in arranging a training match.

Moreover, by practicing with Sichuan University, we might be able to develop some tactics specifically targeting Phoenix University.

It would be extremely difficult for them to find the weaknesses of Phoenix University when their tactics are similar, but Sichuan University, as a bystander and opponent, might be able to see through the fog.

Soon, the plane landed at O'Hare International Airport.

The wind was very noisy.
