Ring Number 51, designated audience seating.
Li Fan sat there with his legs crossed, and there were many empty seats around him.
"Hello, teacher." x2
Fu Erdai and Ma He, having just completed their team's match, came to his side.
Besides Fu Erdai and Ma He, there was also their guide and leader, the first-year battle department head, Teacher Bai.
"Hello, Teacher Li. Long time no see."
Teacher Bai sat down beside Li Fan.
Gradually, Cai Yan, Yi Lunyou, and others also arrived here.
These empty seats had all been reserved by them with tickets.
The Li Pu team's start time was relatively late, and most of the familiar Western teams had already completed their first-round matches.
Except for Yi Lunyou, who faintly showed some disappointment, everyone else was in high spirits, clearly victorious in their first round.
At this moment, the Li Pu team and the masked team had begun to take the stage one after another.
"Teacher Li, what do you think about this round?"
Teacher Bai glanced around and then asked Li Fan.
To be honest, she hadn't yet formed a conclusion.
She only knew that Li Pu's combat power should be good, and Jiang Guiju was also a well-known student in the third year.
However, Teacher Bai was most familiar with Wu Guinan since he was a student from her class.
While Wu Guinan's strength was top-notch in the first year, it might not quite be enough for the Southwest Star Cup.
As for the levels of the other team members, Chang Shoushang and Wang Nuonuo, she wasn't very aware.
After all, a team battle involved four people; if there were two strong and two weak, victory couldn't be assured.
"Of course, I'm optimistic about the team I brought."
Li Fan put on a confident demeanor as if he had a knack for leading teams.
Though he had been wandering around in Zhongdu these past few days and hadn't met up with Li Pu and the others.
However, as students, they needed enough space to perform freely.
"Hohoho, it seems Teacher Li has put in quite a bit of thought."
Unaware of the details, Teacher Bai covered her mouth and chuckled, then continued.
"That... is natural."
"I'm going out for some air."
A slightly guilty Li Fan got up and headed for the corridor.
Even though both sides were already on the stage, it was expected that the procedures would take a few more minutes.
His craving for a smoke got the better of him, and he went out for a few puffs before coming back to watch.
...
On the stage, the referee was confirming the identities of the contestants to prevent any cheating like impersonation.
Each contestant's appearance and the details of their summoned creatures had to be registered upon entry.
This applies even to anonymous participants.
Of course, whether anonymous or not, the organizers would protect the contestants' privacy.
Li Pu had understood all these aspects beforehand.
As for the rules of this round, they had already been informed before going on stage.
It's a 4V4 format.
The team's four Summoners and their summoned creatures all appear to fight at once.
The Li Pu team chose: Li Pu, Wu Guinan, Chang Shoushang, and Jiang Guiju.
Li Pu and Jiang Guiju were naturally the core players.
Chang Shoushang was Li Pu's shield, temporarily posing as Bu Bu's Summoner.
As for Wu Guinan and Wang Nuonuo, after some discussion, they ultimately chose Wu Guinan.
Although Wang Nuonuo had two summoned creatures, due to Yoyo's limited combat ability and the fact that Dali Gang couldn't compete with the Gungun Turtle in level, strength, or endurance.
The opposing masked team sent: Yuyu, Feifei, Yunyun, Zhongzhong, with Chaochao as a substitute.
The stage for the team event was much larger, and after both sides were positioned at their respective ends, it was time for the summoning creatures to be released.
For Li Pu's side, there wasn't much to summon; aside from Bite Flower, which was hiding and wouldn't come out, the other summoned creatures usually followed them directly.
[Roar!]
[Roar Roar!]
[Chirp Chirp!]
As for the masked team, they released seven summoned creatures.
All appeared to be normal, conventional summoned creatures, with nothing particularly special among them.
Only Feifei summoned just one creature.
In terms of the number of summoned creatures, it was a 7 to 5 advantage for the masked team.
"Hehe, this Western team isn't up to standard, are they?"
"Except for that girl, everyone else has only one summoned creature."
Observing this, Yuyu commented.
"Don't underestimate them."
Yunyun promptly reminded his teammates.
In this team, his strength might not be the greatest, but he was the spiritual leader.
"Let's go over the tactical arrangement one more time."
Zhongzhong also felt a bit uneasy.
"Just stick to the original strategy."
"Plus, we have a numeric advantage with our summoned creatures, making it easier to tie theirs down."
"Feifei, both my summoned creatures will follow you."
"This match is in your hands."
After Yunyun finished speaking, he issued a command to his summoned creatures.
[As you command!]
The Terracotta Warrior, with sword and shield in hand, saluted Yunyun.
His Terracotta Warrior was versatile, excelling both offensively and defensively with top-tier sword and shield skills, able to take on tough tasks or entanglements.
[Croak! Croak!]
Beside the Terracotta Warrior was a large earth-colored toad with a tail.
The Great Rock Frog excelled in using its sticky tongue to control opponents from mid-range.
With these two summoned creatures in sync, Feifei could likely knock out one opponent at first sight.
"I... want to take care of the crippled one first."
Feifei seemed to hold a grudge over a minor conflict in the resting lounge.
"Alright, that's a good choice."
Analyzing logically, Yunyun agreed with Feifei's choice.
Without a doubt, among the four opponents, the crippled one was the least mobile.
Even with the ability to [Blink], it wouldn't work because Feifei could also [Blink].
Yuyu: "Be careful, I feel the other side will definitely protect him."
Zhongzhong: "A crippled one dares to compete, might be hiding some tricks."
Yunyun: "Hmm, most likely a strong supporter."
Feifei: "Don't worry, leave it to me."
Compared to the masked team's meticulous arrangements, Li Pu's side seemed much more relaxed.
"Senior, how should we play this match?"
Chang Shoushang looked at Jiang Guiju.
She had the most experience on stage.
"The opponent will definitely use their summoned creatures' advantage to prioritize suppressing our Summoners."
"Once a Summoner exits, it will inevitably impact their summoned creatures."
"Especially some relatively dull summoned creatures, if left without a Summoner's guidance, they may get flustered."
As she said this, everyone, including the summoned creatures, instinctively glanced at the Gungun Turtle.
[Roll!]
The Gungun Turtle felt a bit wronged.
"So juniors, how do you think we should respond?"
Finally, Jiang Guiju looked towards everyone.
She posed this question with a hint of testing her juniors and sparking their ideas.
Chang Shoushang: "Try to avoid getting hurt, though it's quite difficult."
Wu Guinan: "Run, just keep running, so they can't catch up."
Li Pu: "Just go for it."
