My Card Beast Taming Game

The lack of resources makes it difficult for them to cultivate a successful next generation, since advanced card masters and top-tier card masters are bottomless pits.

They prefer to throw geniuses into the Card Master Academy so that they can take advantage of the association and sects.

But occasionally, miracles still happen in the club.

These individuals are not athletes who have previously participated in the National Youth Championships. The National Youth Championships stipulate that an individual can only register under one organizational identity, and "external aid" athletes are strictly prohibited from participating in multiple competitions.

Therefore, intermediate card masters under the age of twenty-five are very rare in China, but not to the point of being unheard of.

Moreover, the Youth Championships are a global event.

Based on the scale of previous years, there will be no fewer than twenty intermediate card masters participating in the individual competition.

Chongxuan's requirements for Jin Siye were undoubtedly extremely high.

However, Jin Siye was very lucky. He was promoted in the first half of his senior year, while most students in other universities would be promoted in the second half of the year, that is, after the spring of next year.

He has ample time to adapt to the Gold Card and improve his combat power.

Chongxuan also specially arranged a corresponding teaching assistant for him and planned to personally help him grow in the intermediate stage.

"In both the team and individual competitions, I hope to be at least a runner-up."

When Chongxuan said this, the lecture hall was completely silent.

Team and individual competitions rely heavily on luck, much like the story of Tian Ji's horse racing strategy: top-class horses against medium-class horses, medium-class horses against bottom-class horses, and bottom-class horses against top-class horses.

But if Li Feijin can successfully advance, then they will have two top-tier horses, and second place will definitely not be a pipe dream.

"In the final team competition, the number of teams has been expanded this year, and at least one of the three teams must make it to the top four."

As Chongxuan spoke, his gaze swept over the student council members in the front row, as well as Zhou Chen and Su Xuanzhen in the middle, "The other two teams are not allowed to be lower than the top sixteen."

Su Xuanzhen's face turned pale.

In their first appearance in the Youth Championship team competition, they reached the top 16 out of hundreds of teams.

Even he wouldn't dare to attempt such a challenge lightly.

According to Su Xuanzhen's own plan, making it into the top 64 in the first competition would be a great achievement, and he could work hard to improve his ranking in the following competitions.

Unexpectedly, plans can't keep up with changes, and Chongxuan is aiming for the championship.

Of course, he also knew that Chongxuan's requirements were already very low, all of which were based on the lowest possible rankings predicted from the previous champion.

Chongxuan didn't even require everyone to come in first place...

Can a champion be considered a champion if there is no first place?

The students on the school team felt a tightness in their throats. They had come for the Youth Championship, and they knew all too well how difficult it was to achieve a high ranking in the competition.

Both strength and luck are indispensable.

Chongxuan said, "The next few months will definitely be tough for everyone, but I believe that when you come to your senses and stand on the award stage, looking back on this moment, you will definitely feel very happy."

He laughed and said, "The champion of the Youth Championship is known as the intermediate card master production machine. Do you know how many teams have gone back to try to advance after winning the championship and succeeded?"

Chongxuan didn't continue, leaving everyone with endless room for imagination.

Ninety percent of the people here are adults, and everyone wants it all. Chongxuan's words are naturally quite tempting.

"Alright, normal training will begin tomorrow. I will distribute a form next, and you can fill in the projects you want to participate in - you don't need to fill in the Formation Domain Academy."

He clapped his hands, and the teaching assistant handed out the forms.

Why don't we need to fill in the information for the Array Domain Academy?

Since most of the students from the Array Domain Academy who join the school team only participate in Array Domain competitions, and they are selected because of their outstanding abilities in Array Domain, the Youth Championship has little to do with them.

There are about five substitutes, and at least two of them will become starters, forming a five-person team with the existing three.

The remaining 25 people are the ones who will participate in the Youth Championship.

As for the special competitions, in order to achieve good results in the Youth Championships this year, the school decided to give up most of them.

Zhou Chen received the form and wrote down "team competition" without hesitation, just like Su Xuanzhen next door.

Lu Qingning chose to compete in both the individual and team/individual events.

The Chow Chow with the unicorn said, "Aren't you really considering individual or team competitions?"

Zhou Chen: "I—"

"Hengzhen, let's add one more."

Chongxuan's voice came from beside his ear. He looked up and found that the other person had been standing in the front row where no one was sitting.

Zhou Chen was taken aback. "Teacher Chongxuan."

"Just call me Senior Brother. And Hengzhen, add another one. Your strength is very important to the Divine Capital Academy this year."

Chongxuan said earnestly, "You don't have to participate in the individual competition, but I hope you can sign up for both the team and individual competitions."

Zhou Chen silently ticked the boxes for the team and individual competitions, indicating "Okay".

He had actually been planning to choose one of the two options for a long time, but he was just hesitating.

He will most likely be able to advance to the intermediate level in next year's global competition. The game panel will prevent him from encountering bottlenecks or failures, and his advancement will be very smooth.

Therefore, you can participate in both individual and team/individual competitions; you can choose one.

But if that's what they want, then there's nothing more to say.

Seeing this, Chongxuan was very happy and patted Zhou Chen on the shoulder, "I believe you can do it. Our generation is destined to have more responsibilities."

Our generation?

Oh, I forgot, he's actually from a very senior generation.

Chapter 190: Poaching Someone's Partner

The next day.

The school team members, whose classes were temporarily suspended, gathered at the arena.

Although the school does not compensate for these credits, participating in competitions is a convenient way to earn credits. Regardless of the strength of the opponent, as long as you win, you can get many rewards.

Anyone can miss out on credits, but students on the school team won't.

"I haven't come to watch the school team train for many years."

The Chow Chow stood in the somewhat disorganized line with Zhou Chen and complained, "It feels like nothing has changed except for the training location."

Now, its existence is completely tied to Zhou Chen. Everyone in the Divine Capital Academy knows that Heng Zhen, the vice dean's personal disciple, has a spirit beast by his side.

The students on the school team are so used to it that they can't be more used to it than they are to it.

After all, Li Feijin has people around her who are quite accepting of this kind of thing.

Zhou Chen then asked, "Will the school team give me time to practice array formations?"

"It's difficult to estimate."

The unicorn chow chow stuck out its tongue and said, "But you can mention it to Chongxuan, or go home and practice in the Xiangyu Palace, and take two hours out of your ten hours of meditation every day."

Undoubtedly, Bai Shounian and Fatian believed that Zhou Chen's increase in spiritual energy was closely related to his ten hours of meditation every day.

Although even if an ordinary person meditates for 24 hours, the increase in their spiritual energy is still not as great as his, geniuses are always different from ordinary people in some ways.

Although Bai Shounian is over a hundred years old this year, he was once a genius who was promoted to the Special Grade at the age of forty. Not to mention Fa Tian, ​​neither of them had any objection to Zhou Chen's actions.

"Take two hours..."

Zhou Chen began to seriously consider this possibility.

Unfortunately, the answer was no.

He absolutely must spend the time between 8 PM and 6 AM; otherwise, he won't be able to advance to the intermediate level by the beginning of next year. This is much more important than array domain training.

Forget it.

There will always be time.

Zhou Chen found himself a little impatient. Even though there were only 24 hours in a day, he felt like he could work for 48 hours straight.

While they were thinking, all the team members had assembled.

The parrot on Chief Instructor Chongxuan's shoulder spoke: "Today, you will be divided into groups according to your first project. Those who have their names called, please step forward! Jin Siye!"

Following the directions, Jin Siye, who was at the front, walked to the left.

The entire school team was divided into four groups: individual competition, team individual competition, team group competition, and formation competition.

The team with the fewest participants in the Array Domain competition was immediately taken away by the coaches and assistant coaches from the Array Domain Academy.

They have a dedicated space for practice.

Zhou Chen was categorized into the team competition, with three coaches and nine assistant coaches standing at the front of the line.

"Is everyone here? If you're all here, come with me."

The leading coach, Cao Shoushan, waved and led the group away from the arena.

Zhou Chen turned to look at Lu Qingning, exchanging encouraging glances.

The team competition has the most participants and the most registered participants. After all, it does not focus on individual strength like the individual competition and the team individual competition, but rather on team cooperation—as long as the opponent does not have an intermediate card master.

Of course, very few intermediate card masters will participate in team competitions; at most, one person will register for two events. Most of them will go for individual competitions and team/individual competitions.

However, some are less discerning. For example, at Shanghai University, there are frequent cases of intermediate card masters who would rather lose in individual or team competitions than not participate in team competitions. Apparently, they feel they're losing too many credits and might go bankrupt if they don't earn them back this way.

Therefore, Shanghai University often dominates in team competitions.

"Five starters, twenty-five substitutes... that makes six teams!" The One-Horned Chow Chow counted the number of players and stuck out his tongue. "It's a pity that only three teams can be selected out of six. Have you found your players yet?"

Su Xuanzhen glanced at Zhou Chen and nodded, saying, "It's been discussed in advance."

The words fell.

They arrived at an arena.

Coach Cao, who was leading the team, shouted, "Are there any teams that planned ahead? Step forward and let me see them!"

The crowd stirred, and more than ten people stepped out of line.

Zhou Chen and Su Xuanzhen were also among them, accompanied by a muscular boy, a petite girl, and... Wenren Shiyue, dressed in a fashionable JK uniform.

Luo Linchuan and the other student council ministers stared at her in shock, "Shiyue!"

How could she—

Wenren Shiyue remained silent, but took out a makeup mirror and tidied her bangs.

The Chow Chow stood beside Zhou Chen, looked up and asked, "How did you manage to get her to come in? You only managed to get one?"

“What do you mean by ‘deceiving’? This is called earning it through strength.” Zhou Chen expressed his dissatisfaction with the term. “Besides, there’s no harm in giving it a try.”

Teams participating in the group competition will be granted an extension until the end of the autumn season, during which time team members can be freely replaced.

"I don't care about the groups you've already formed; I'll form the rest."

Coach Cao casually began dividing the teams, then clapped his hands and said, "Today is the first day. The main purpose is to showcase each other's spirit cards. It doesn't represent the final combination. Winning or losing doesn't matter. Don't put too much pressure on yourselves."

The group entered the arena.

Real-world practice is the best way to demonstrate skills. Coach Cao stood in front of the team and asked, "In the first round, is there anyone who volunteered to play?"

Zhou Chen and Su Xuanzhen exchanged glances, then looked at their teammates and raised their hands, saying, "Coach, we're signing up!"

They spoke first, and the second group was only half a beat behind.

Coach Cao praised loudly, "Very good! You two teams go first! Let me explain the rules of the practice match: each person has two lives and can use different spirit cards, but you are not allowed to switch them during the match. If a spirit card is removed from the field, it is equivalent to losing a life."

After saying that, he clapped his hands and said, "Let's go into the arena!"

Ten people entered the venue in a scattered manner, each heading to their respective half of the venue.

Su Xuanzhen, naturally the commander of Zhou Chen's team, said, "Although today is just a practice match, I hope we can win. Are you all confident?"

"Have!"

Zhou Chen and Wenren Shiyue shouted very loudly.

Their eyes met, then quickly looked away.

Last night, during the private discussion, there were almost no difficulties, which reminded Zhou Chen of that glance from before.
