Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe
Chapter 520 The opponent is
Chapter 520 The opponent is
Soon, a male student who looked about the same age as Jiang Cheng was chosen to draw lots.
The boy’s face turned red, obviously he was too excited.
But in addition to the excitement, there is also nervousness.
Because the people standing on the field at this moment are almost the strongest people in the academy, and whether these people can enter the next round is certainly a factor of strength, but it also depends on his luck.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the boy walked onto the stage, trembling all over.
“He’s so nervous.”
Someone in the audience laughed and said.
“Yeah, it’s just a lottery, there’s no need to be nervous. If it were me, I would be so happy.”
“Hehe, that’s easy to say. If it were you, you would probably tremble even more than him on stage.”
“take it easy.”
Xu Juan smiled at him, looked at the box in the middle, and said, “Put your hand in and take out a ball at random.”
“Yes, yes, Principal.”
The boy nodded like a chick pecking at rice. When he reached the box, he looked back at Jiang Cheng and others, then he tremblingly reached his hand in.
The box is transparent, and you can clearly see a hand fiddling with more than twenty metal balls.
After several seconds, the boy finally made up his mind, grabbed a metal ball and took it out of the box.
At this moment, the entire venue was silent, and everyone’s attention was focused on the ball in his hand.
“I wonder who will be chosen first? And who will be his opponent next?”
This thought popped up in everyone’s mind at the same time.
“Open it.”
Xu Juan reminded.
The boy hummed, held the metal ball with both hands, and twisted it to both sides. After twisting it for a while, the metal ball split into two halves, and a folded piece of paper was exposed to the air.
The boy placed the two hemispheres on the table, and opened the note nervously and expectantly.
“Lin Ziwei, it’s Teacher Lin!”
The boy opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Ziwei behind him.
Not only him, but other people also looked over there.
“I didn’t expect that Teacher Lin would be the first person to be drawn.”
“I wonder who will be her opponent next?”
“Is it Teacher Yao, Teacher Shao and the others? If it is them, then the first game will be very exciting.”
“Yes, yes, but if that’s the case, it may not be a good thing for them.”
“Yes, it would be better if we could meet later. This way, the game would be more exciting.”
The students were talking in low voices, and the teachers on the stage also looked nervous.
No matter if they are at a weaker realm or at a realm similar to Lin Ziwei, no one wants to be the next person to be picked.
However, Lin Ziwei, the person involved, had a very calm expression.
“it is good.”
Xu Juan nodded, took the note from the boy, and said, “Continue to draw the second person.”
“Yes, principal.”
After the first time, the boy was much calmer the second time. After reaching into the box, he stirred it for a while and took out a metal ball.
The scene was quiet again.
As the metal ball was twisted open, the note inside was also folded open. “It’s Wang Jie, Teacher Wang.”
He said.
Hearing this name, the teachers on the stage breathed a sigh of relief.
But Wang Jie himself looked unhappy.
He is a fifth-level spiritual master. Logically speaking, there is a great possibility that he can pass this round and advance to the next round.
Who would have thought that he would start off badly and be selected in the first game, and his opponent was one of the people he least wanted to meet.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that he will definitely lose this game. After all, everyone’s level is similar, and there is still hope of winning if they really fight.
Thinking of this, he looked at Lin Ziwei who was not far away. At this moment, the latter was also looking at him like everyone else. When she saw his gaze, a smile appeared on her face.
Wang Jie smiled bitterly and nodded.
Things have come to this point. We have no choice but to face it, but it is impossible to just give in. We can only fight to the death.
Fortunately, the opponent’s strength is obvious to all, so if he really loses, it doesn’t matter.
“The contestants for the first group have been decided, let’s start the second group.” Xu Juan said.
Soon, the list of the second group was released. Compared with the first group, the strength of the two people was comparable.
This made both of them feel relieved.
In the third group, the fourth group, and then the fifth group, the boys called out Jiang Cheng’s name.
Instantly, everyone’s eyes fell on Jiang Cheng.
“It’s Mr. Jiang. I wonder who his opponent will be.”
“Yes, he is the biggest dark horse this time. He made it all the way to the finals. I wonder how far he can go next.”
“It’s Brother Jiang Cheng! Brother Jiang Cheng was chosen!” Lin Yue said nervously in a corner of the audience.
“Well, I wonder who will be picked to be his next opponent.” Qin Yu on the side heard this and said to himself.
There are more than ten people on the stage, some of whom have great hopes of winning. If Jiang Cheng draws them next, his chances of winning will be much smaller.
On the contrary, if you draw someone who is not too strong, or even weaker than Sun Tong, then your chances of winning will be greatly increased.
It wasn’t just her who had this idea in mind, but also the people from Team 7 and the Alchemy Department.
As people who are familiar with Jiang Cheng, they naturally hope that Jiang Cheng can go further and not be eliminated in the first round of the finals.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything.
At this moment, Sun Bo and Sun Tong particularly hoped that Jiang Cheng would meet a strong opponent and be eliminated directly.
Otherwise, watching Jiang Cheng advance would be more painful than killing them.
On the stage, the boy put the piece of paper with Jiang Cheng’s name printed on it aside, and then began to draw the next person.
Everyone on the stage was feeling more or less nervous.
Especially the grandmasters of level three and four.
If they were to face Sun Tong, they would not be confident of winning, let alone facing Jiang Cheng.
Even the fifth-level masters are like this.
Sun Tong’s use of telekinetic weapons should not be underestimated. If it were them, they might not necessarily win. As for dragging the battle into the close combat stage, they all saw clearly Jiang Cheng’s last battle. It is not an easy task to defeat him in close combat.
But a few people have some expectations in their hearts.
Jiangcheng is quite strong, and it is somewhat challenging for them.
However, the difficulty is not too great. Unlike the other few people, they do not feel a lot of pressure and will be eliminated if they are not careful.
