News of the Chinese Team's complete victory over the British Team in the opening match stayed on trending lists around the world for three full days, utterly eclipsing every other match.
The restrictions on Zhou Sining were announced that very evening. The internet was flooded with all kinds of opinions, and once the competition restrictions came out, the discussion about him became completely polarized.
Whether people supported him or opposed him, Zhou Sining did not particularly care.
With that much time on his hands, he would rather cultivate.
Soon, their opponent for the second round was announced: the Japanese Team.
To be fair, the Japanese National Team really was not weak. They ranked somewhere in the middle of the thirty-two teams, and in previous tournaments, they had advanced to the second-round treasure hunt competition several times, even reaching the final battle between the top four.
Compared with the Chinese National Team, though, they were nothing special.
The lineup was released before the match, and Zhou Sining was not on it, so he did not even bother going to the Arena. Ai Jiangtu was there anyway.
After finishing a day of meditation, Zhou Sining called up his system panel.
