The finals were held at the largest venue in Linhai City.
After days of rain, Linhai City welcomed a rare sunny weather.
After nightfall, the cloudless sky is dotted with beautiful stars. In an era when urban light pollution is so serious, this is a rare beauty in the city.
At five o'clock in the evening, the audience began to arrive one after another.
The host began to introduce the national competition, mainly touting the results of each duel academy.
There is no doubt that the two most dazzling dueling colleges this year are Lingnan University and Tianyi College.
Tianyi College, in particular, had students enter the finals of the national competition just one year after its founding and a few months into the school year. This is truly a legend.
If Shen Sui had not already established himself as a famous player in previous competitions, those conspiracy-theorizing netizens would probably have speculated on the inside story and questioned the fairness of the competition.
Next it was Tang Lili and her team's turn to perform.
The scene instantly erupted in cheers.
All kinds of materials such as light boards and banners were taken out, and for a moment the audience seats in the venue were filled with colorful lights, more gorgeous than the starry sky.
Looking at this scene, Shen Sui had to admit that although there was still a lot of room for improvement in her dueling skills, as an idol, Tang Lili already had the demeanor of a first-tier idol. As for whether she could become a top star, it would take time to verify.
The point is, this guy has only been an idol for a few months, right?
Even more outrageous than me.
With this ability and talent, what cards are you going to play?
Shen Sui complained in his heart.
Looking up, Shen Sui's gaze passed through the stage and met Vivian's eyes.
Vivian smiled at Shen Sui, seeming satisfied that Shen Sui was not attracted to the cat girl.
"Teacher An Hai."
An Hai ultimately couldn't escape the disaster and became a guest in the national competition finals.
He wanted to refuse at first, but then he thought that if An Wei has not yet conquered the audience with her own strength, and if the fairness of her brother being a guest is still questioned by the audience, then it means that An Wei's strength is far from enough.
So he accepted the invitation.
"I heard that one of the finalists, Miss An Wei, is your biological sister." The host asked An Hai with a sly smile, obviously hiding a trap, "So do you think this final will end with your sister's victory?"
An Hai glanced at the host.
He had no expression on his face, but he knew in his heart that once this question was answered, maybe he would have a Bible passage that would be passed down in the future.
But An Hai was not at all empty-headed, and said nonsense:
"Shen Sui is a very powerful fortune teller, and so is An Wei. I believe they will give us a wonderful duel."
"Which side do you prefer?"
"An Wei." An Hai thought for a moment and said firmly.
If he didn't support her in this situation, An Hai was worried that this little girl would tear down his study room.
Chapter 367 Isn’t your commentary too unreliable?
After years of development, the pace of fate card duels has increased to an astonishing speed.
Although it was not as bad as Shen Sui who ended the duel in just three or four rounds, the duration of a duel was often not enough to support an entire tournament.
If a match only consists of one duel, the time it takes sometimes cannot even make up for the audience's round-trip travel expenses, not to mention whether the ticket price is worth it.
Therefore, in order to buy tickets, many high-end events are often organized into a party-like format, using various singing and dancing performances and exhibition matches to fill the free time. This is why idols can become so popular during the events.
Of course, some heavyweight competitions have also begun to extend the duration of duels by modifying the competition system.
After all, the audience who can come to watch the game live are here to watch the duel. If they want to watch the singing and dancing, why don’t they go to watch the singer’s performance?
Starting from the year before last, some world competitions began to adopt the BO3 final format, which is a best-of-three format.
The best-of-three finals format can, to a certain extent, eliminate the element of luck in the fate card duel.
Of course, it is impossible to completely eliminate that. If you really win two games in the final by using a gambling deck, it only means that you are destined to become the champion of this game.
Of course, it is said that the knockout rounds of the Pacific Ocean Open to be held soon will all adopt the BO3 format. This is also a world competition that will be held on a cruise ship. It is considered a relatively famous event.
This change has gradually begun to spread to China, but for now, most matches are still decided by one game.
The final of the national competition still used the one-match format to decide the winner, with singing and dancing performances and exhibition matches between big names filling the remaining time, allowing the audience who bought tickets to fully enjoy this event.
With the official support of Linhai City, the final lineup of this student competition is not much worse than that of some national competitions. In addition to emerging idols like Tang Lili, there are also many veteran singers who came to perform on the spot. It can be said that it is a feast for the eyes of many audiences.
The exhibition match will be presented by Tan Song and An Hai. The duel between the world champion and the newly promoted ninth-level fortune-telling master is also eye-catching. Many spectators did not come to watch Shen Sui's duel, but to watch the exhibition match between Tan Song and An Hai.
In order to ensure the ratings after the finals, this exhibition match will be held after the finals. Before that, the two ninth-level fortune-telling masters will participate in the finals as guest commentators.
The host setting traps for An Hai is something that guests in China don't have to experience. In fact, he also set a lot of traps for Tan Song.
There's nothing you can do about it, some viewers just like to watch this.
While An Hai and Tan Song were arguing with the commentator, Shen Sui had already started his pre-match preparations.
In addition to the inspection and final declaration of the deck, it is also necessary to tidy up the instrumentation.
Although it is just a national competition for students, it is a competition that is broadcast live nationwide, so the proper appearance and manners should be maintained.
"Don't tell me." Shen Sui looked at himself in the mirror, refreshing and handsome, "I'm still pretty handsome."
Aragaki Tanchun, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Come to think of it, your sister shouldn't have suffered any trouble after losing to me, right?" Shen Sui chatted with Aragaki Tanchun.
Aragaki Yingxue's mother is very strict. She made a very detailed plan for Aragaki Yingxue and would not allow her to make any mistakes. Although the previous defeat was an undoubted victory for Shen Sui, Aragaki Yingxue could not avoid some blame.
"It's a bit troublesome indeed." Aragaki Tanchun said, "But it's not bad. After all, it's just a student competition. As long as Aragaki Yingxue can defeat you in the future professional competition, we can restore the previous setting and even add a character setting of not being discouraged after losing."
"That woman is like that. She has a plan for everything and her desire for control is terrifying." Aragaki Tanchun complained.
At this point, Xin Yuan Tanchun seemed to have thought of something, and said to Shen Sui: "If that's the case, they will probably look for the professional competitions you participated in, and then let Xiaoxue snipe you."
"Just snipe me, I'm not afraid." Shen Sui didn't care.
"I'm scared." Aragaki Tanchun said with a roll of his eyes.
"Are you afraid that I will lose, or that your sister will lose?"
Aragaki Tanchun was silent for a long time, and finally told the truth: "It's a little bit. You are my student, and she is my sister. I will feel bad if either of them collapses."
Shen Sui did not deny that he was Aragaki Tanchun's student.
Although Aragaki Tanchun's dueling ability has been surpassed by Shen Sui, she has indeed taught Shen Sui a lot, and Shen Sui will need her help with many things in the future, such as competition matters.
There are a lot of mixed bags of competitions in China, with all kinds of names. It is difficult to judge whether an event is necessary to participate in and whether it has enough value just by its name.
Just like Xu Tianzhi won the championship of the Guangzhiming Duel Tournament. The name alone sounds very abstract, but he is indeed a top player in the domestic B-class competition. The reason for this name is entirely because the organizer of this competition is the Guangzhiming Group.
You can't ask them not to use your group's name in the title of a competition that they've spent money on, right?
On the other hand, some seemingly respectable competitions such as the Phoenix Cup and Bai Ze Invitational were actually events that the Life Card Association had purchased the qualifications to host, and they have now been included in the Exploration Bureau's cancellation list.
Shen Sui really doesn't have the energy to distinguish which competitions are valuable and which are fake, so he needs Aragaki Tanchun's help.
"Don't worry, if I really encounter it, I will be gentle." Shen Sui said with a smile.
Xin Yuan Tanchun rolled his eyes and said, "Don't be blindly confident. Xiao Xue is improving very quickly. Don't underestimate her and let her fail."
"I fight with all my strength in all my duels in competitions and never blindly." In this respect, Shen Sui is very professional.
While he was talking, a staff member came in and invited Shen Sui to come on stage.
At the same time, Shen Sui's deck has also been reviewed by the referee.
It is called an audit, but in fact it depends entirely on the contestants' self-consciousness.
The process is roughly that the player submits his deck list to the referee, and the referee confirms whether there are any banned cards in it and then conducts the final verification.
The rules require that the decks used by the players in the duel must be the same as the decks submitted for review, but if you are not caught by the referee on the spot, it is not impossible to stuff some strange cards into the deck.
If you are bold enough, you can also put banned cards into your deck.
But if you do this and are caught by the referee, you will be declared the loser on the spot and be suspended for a certain period of time as punishment.
If it were in the past, the fortune teller could still steal the game by using such small tricks. After all, not all referees have super memories and can memorize all the banned cards.
But this is no longer possible. With the advancement of technology, the life cards used by the contestants on the spot will be checked in real time on the referee's tablet device. If there is any discrepancy with the reported deck, they will be caught immediately.
In fact, Shen Sui has always been wondering what the significance of this system of reporting decks is. Later, Aragaki Tanchun told him that there was once a player ranked first in the world. His gambling wife stuffed several banned cards into his deck before the game, and he himself was completely unaware of it. He went straight to the duel, and then used the banned cards in the game, so he was judged as defeated on the spot.
His wife won a large amount of gambling money as a result, and after the game the player's defense that he was completely unaware of it was naturally unsuccessful.
All I can say is that in the real world, no matter how outrageous things are, they can happen. Who could have thought that their loved ones would do this?
So after that, professional competitions added a deck review process. Your deck has been screened before the game. If you still use cards that don't match your deck in the game, it means you did it on purpose, which is a violation. It also gives both sides a certain tolerance rate.
When Shen Sui walked to the backstage, two professional commentators had already started chatting with An Hai and Tan Song.
They were mainly discussing the strengths of An Wei and Shen Sui.
Shen Sui is the champion of the Magic City Duel Tournament, which is considered a relatively prestigious championship, and he also defeated a seventh-level destiny card master head-on.
An Wei is not inferior at all. Maybe she is not as good as the rising Shen Sui in terms of honors, but her record is very impressive.
She is known as the little witch. Whenever she sees a card she likes, she will try to start a card betting war with the other party.
Many of the fortune tellers who had gambling card battles with her were professional fortune tellers of level seven or above. There were even rumors that An Wei had defeated a level eight fortune teller.
The two commentators sang in unison, which did not make the pre-match chat seem awkward.
"She has indeed defeated an eighth-rank fortune-telling master." As An Wei's brother, An Hai stood up for An Wei.
"Oh? Is this something we can say?" The female commentator Jianjia looked at An Hai in surprise.
"Oh my God, she is worthy of being our little witch. May I ask, who is the defeated eighth-level fortune-telling master..." The male commentator Canglan looked at An Hai with gossiping eyes.
In the life card duel, it is common for higher-rank players to lose to lower-rank players. Although it sounds a bit embarrassing, it is an objective fact after all.
In the national competition, there are many ninth-level fortune-tellers who lose to seventh-level fortune-tellers.
However, if An Hai really answered the question in this situation, it would be disrespecting the eighth-level fortune-telling master.
