After the fourth round of preliminaries, all qualified teams will be given two days of training time. At the same time, the draw ceremony for Group Stage will also be held in the afternoon of the second training day.
After the Shrek Academy was confirmed to advance, Zhu Ziyang gave the players a day off, although there were only Jiang Nannan, Zhou Tianhe, Dai Huabin, and in the entire preliminaries. Five people, Wu Feng and Xie Huanyue, have appeared in the competition, but the pressure on others is not small, especially those from Preliminary Team, and people like Chu Hua and Ning Tian who are participating in the competition for the first time. They are very nervous.
Why are Qian Lingyi and Fifth Huan'er not nervous? These two are both Soul Saint. The people who should be nervous should be players from other teams.
During the rare rest time, Zhu Ziyang was directly taken to go shopping by the four girls Jiang Nannan and Ma Xiaotao. Mingdu, as the most prosperous shopping mall on the mainland, The city is not generally attractive to girls. The four girls walked around from day to night, but they didn't feel tired at all. Zhu Ziyang, on the other hand, was very tired, not physically, but mentally.
"Ah~ I'm so exhausted!" After returning to the hotel, Zhu Ziyang immediately collapsed on the bed, without any desire to move.
However, Ma Xiaotao didn't seem to let go of his idea. She opened the door and walked in. When she saw Zhu Ziyang lying on the bed, her face suddenly showed dissatisfaction and reproach. She said, "Why are you still lying here? Huan'er has changed clothes and is waiting for you to taste it!"
"Sister Xiaotao, let me take a breather, I'm so tired!" Zhu Ziyang said with a sad face.
"Oh, where did this go?" Ma Xiaotao came closer and forcibly pulled Zhu Ziyang up from the bed, saying, "You feel tired now because you have not experienced the fun. When you see the new clothes we bought, you will definitely feel the fun."
"Haha, I hope so!" Zhu Ziyang had no desire to resist at all, and was unconsciously pulled by Ma Xiaotao, leaving his room and coming to the rooms of Ma Xiaotao and Fifth Huan'er.
At this time, in this room, in addition to Fifth Huan'er, there were two other people, Jiang Nannan and Qian Lingyi. They were playing with today's harvest. Everyone's face was flushed with excitement or shyness, but Fifth Huan'er was nowhere to be seen.
After Jiang Nannan and Qian Lingyi saw Ma Xiaotao pulling Zhu Ziyang, they both subconsciously hid the clothes in their hands behind their backs, then looked at Zhu Ziyang with a silly smile and said, "Brother, you are here."
It was at this time that Zhu Ziyang was absent-minded and didn't pay attention to the strangeness of the two women. He just nodded towards them mechanically.
Ma Xiaotao didn't see Fifth Huan'er, so he wasn't surprised. A slightly expectant smile appeared on his face, and he shouted, "Huan'er, come out quickly!"
"Oh! Right now!" Fifth Huan'er's voice came from the bathroom, with a hint of Sisi shyness in it. Then, after about ten breaths, the bathroom door opened and Fifth Huan'er walked out.
The first time he saw Fifth Huan'er, Zhu Ziyang's sluggish mental state suddenly became excited. Both eyes couldn't help but widen, staring at Fifth Huan'er, which made Fifth Huan'er feel a little embarrassed when he showed himself so openly.
"What... what's wrong? Doesn't it look good?" she asked.
"No, no, it's very beautiful," Zhu Ziyang shook his head decisively, his eyes shining like a wolf that had been hungry for a long time, and he said, "It suits you!"
"How's it going? I'm telling you, you will definitely have fun!" Ma Xiaotao said as if he was taking credit, then walked to Fifth Huan'er and hugged the girl's exposed waist, "This little dress Huan'er is wearing is the most popular one among the Sun Moon Empire aristocratic women. Take a look, does it especially accentuate the girl's figure?"
"Yeah!" Zhu Ziyang nodded repeatedly, with a greedy and excited expression on his face, and said, "Sister Xiaotao, I remember you also bought it, right? You can also try it on and let me taste it!"
"Hahaha~" Ma Xiaotao couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, it just so happens that Nannan and Yiyi also have this idea."
With that said, she walked directly into the bathroom. Before entering the bathroom, she did not forget to wink at Zhu Ziyang to seduce his desire.
Now it's okay, the anger in Zhu Ziyang's heart has really been seduced, and Jiang Nannan and Qian Lingyi have also entered the bathroom to change clothes, leaving only outside. Fifth Huan'er, but Fifth Huan'er's outfit at this time is very tempting. Zhu Ziyang no longer wants to think about what will happen next. At this time, you should follow the guidance of your heart!
——
Early the next morning, Zhu Ziyang walked out of Ma Xiaotao and Fifth Huan'er's room. Although he didn't accomplish anything last night, he was still refreshed and comfortable. After all, he was sleeping with two fragrant beauties in his arms. How could he be uncomfortable?
You ask why Zhu Ziyang didn't get anything done last night? Uh-huh, of course it's because a certain mythical beast is eyeing him! Ahem, no kidding, the reason why Zhu Ziyang did not choose to eat Fifth Huan'er directly is very simple, the timing is wrong.
Time soon came to the afternoon, and the lottery ceremony for Group Stage began. However, Zhu Ziyang did not go. Instead, Ma Xiaotao and Jiang Nannan went to participate in the lottery on behalf of the Shrek Academy. Zhu Ziyang himself had other important matters.
He found Zhang Lexuan who was still in Mingdu city, told her the details of the assassination plan, and asked her to return to their base camp to make arrangements and come back on the eve of the finals of the competition.
This time is a little tight for Zhang Lexuan, but this does not prevent her from asking Zhu Ziyang for a short tender time. When night falls, Zhu Ziyang will Zhang Lexuan After gave away Mingdu, he looked at the direction Zhang Lexuan was leaving with a sense of melancholy. For some reason, he felt inexplicable. He seemed to be a little too philanthropic.
With such emotion, Zhu Ziyang returned to Mingyue Hotel's room. As soon as he entered the door, he saw everyone gathered in the living room. Ma Xiaotao and Jiang Nannan, who were responsible for drawing lots, had already come back and were about to inform everyone about the results of the draw and the group arrangements.
The return of Zhu Ziyang did not interrupt Ma Xiaotao's speech, and Zhu Ziyang also listened silently.
The thirty-two teams that entered Group Stage were divided into four groups, each group consisting of eight teams. Group Stage is a single round-robin competition between these four groups within the group. Each team needs to play seven games. Finally, based on the number of wins and losses, the two teams with the most wins advance to the quarterfinals.
Very good, this competition not only directly omits the top 64, but also directly omits the top 16. In a sense, it can be regarded as eliminating some of the pride of the academy.
Shrek Academy was assigned to Group One. Among the seven teams in the same group, there are only two worthy of attention. One is Holy Spirit Cult's vest, Holy Spirit Sect Team, and the other is Star Luo Empire Royal Academy. As for the other five teams, both in terms of strength and reputation, they are all average. Oh, by the way, Heavenly Armor Sect, who was defeated by Jiang Nannan, had high enough points in the first three rounds, so he also entered Group Stage, and happened to be in this group. How can I put it, I can only say that they were unlucky.
Tang Sect was assigned to the second group, the same group as Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Academy. They met Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Academy in the fourth round of the preliminaries, but they did not choose to face it. Unexpectedly, the two teams Group Stage could be grouped together. It was really destined!
Group Stage's schedule is relatively loose, with eight games a day, four in the morning and four in the afternoon. It is divided into four groups, meaning each group plays two games a day. The schedule lasts fourteen days.
Tomorrow's first game is their Shrek Academy game, Shrek Academy versus Heavenly Armor Sect.
That's why Zhu Ziyang said that Heavenly Armor Sect was unlucky, and he was unlucky enough to run into the Shrek Academy twice in a row.
