The top 20 competitions were all concluded within this day. Kyoto University and Qingbei University, who were finally promoted to the top ten, each occupied three places. The two schools occupied a total of six places.
With the strength of Kyoto University and Qingbei University, Zhang Cheng was not surprised to be able to get six places, but Zhang Cheng was a little surprised by their Modu University results this time.
Because apart from him, Liao Wu, who has the quasi-god Dragon-type, also successfully entered the top ten. With his powerful Dragonite, Liao Wu narrowly defeated Trainer, a Qingbei University.
Apart from National Tournament, their Modu University can barely get a top ten spot.
In addition to these eight students who were promoted to Trainer, there are two other students from one of the eight prestigious schools, Yuenan University and Jiangzhe University.
The day passed quickly, and today was the match day for the top ten promotion tournament.
The competition system this time is different from the past. The ten Trainers will first compete in pairs. The five winning Trainers will advance directly. The remaining five losing Trainers will draw lots. The Trainers who drew empty draws will advance directly. The remaining four Trainers will compete against each other. The losers will be eliminated and the winners will advance.
In other words, the First Round in these top ten competitions will only eliminate two Trainer, leaving eight Trainer for the next round of quarter-finals.
Zhang Cheng has participated in many competitions over the years and knows the rules of the competition very well. In fact, it doesn't matter what the competition format is. As long as you are strong enough, you don't need to worry about these.
Referee This time, we still used a fair and transparent box to draw lots. After the draw, the schedule was quickly announced on the big screen.
In this two-by-two duel between First Round, Zhang Cheng's opponent is Lu Luan from Kyoto University, who is exactly the man in black who was with Ye Tian yesterday.
The opponent assigned to Liao Wu, who is in the same school as him, is Ye Tian. Zhang Cheng is very clear about the strength of Liao Wu. Compared with Ye Tian, there is still a big gap. Liao Wu will most likely be eliminated and compete in the rematch.
Among the five games, Ye Tian and Liao Wu are ranked in the first game, and Zhang Cheng and Lu Luan are in the second game.
Zhang Cheng was still very interested in the battle between Ye Tian and Liao Wu. After the game started, he came to the rest area to watch the game.
Under the leadership of Referee, the two came to the competition venue. After a brief explanation of the rules, the competition officially started with a whistle.
Ye Tian and Liao Wu threw Poké Ball in their hands at the same time. Ye Tian chose Butterfree as the starting elf, but Liao Wu unexpectedly sent out Dragonite directly.
"This Trainer from your school is quite clever. He knows that he is no match for a duel with hard strength, so he directly sent Dragonite to win by surprise." A hoarse man's voice suddenly came from behind Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng looked back and saw a young man in black appearing in front of him. It was his opponent in this competition, Lu Luan from Kyoto University.
"Liao Wu has played against Ye Tian before, and ended in a disastrous defeat. His Dragonite is no match for Hydreigon." Zhang Cheng said to Lu Luan Analytic:
"Liao Wu's battle should be to use Dragonite to deal with the other elves of Ye Tian, and then use the rest of his own elves to deal with Hydreigon of Ye Tian."
"Same as my idea!" Lu Luan said with a smile, "And I can boldly guess that among the remaining elves of Liao Wu, there must be elves from Fairy-type and Ice-type."
"That's true. This is also the most likely way for him to defeat Ye Tian. Use the strong combat power of Dragonite to force out Hydreigon, and then use the elves that restrain Hydreigon to turn defeat into victory." Zhang Cheng still very much approves of Liao Wu's tactic.
"Which one of them do you think will win?" Lu Luan asked curiously.
"If Liao Wu didn't arrange tactics, he would definitely lose. It's hard to say now. Liao Wu has found a glimmer of hope. It depends on the subsequent changes in the situation." Zhang Cheng made a rational decision Analytic.
While Zhang Cheng and Lu Luan were discussing, Dragonite and Butterfree had already started fighting.
Dragonite took advantage of its own Flying-type to restrain Butterfree and launched the powerful Hurricane skill to attack Butterfree.
Facing the powerful offensive of Dragonite, Butterfree chose to avoid it and used Protect Barrier to defend.
Butterfree is very powerful, and the concentrated Barrier withstood most of Dragonite's attacks. Only a very small amount of Hurricane energy Infiltrator Barrier attacked, but it was also dodged by Butterfree.
Seeing that Dragonite's offensive was skillfully resolved by Butterfree, Liao Wu was not in a hurry, but very calmly let Dragonite launch Safeguard.
After turning on Safeguard, Dragonite will not fall into an abnormal state in the next period of time.
Liao Wu knows that Ye Tian and Butterfree are very good at using various transformation skills, so they are well prepared and take precautions in advance.
Facing Dragonite who used Safeguard, Ye Tian found it a bit difficult. None of the attack skills that Butterfree was good at could restrain Dragonite. After the change-type moves lost their effect, Butterfree's effect became minimal.
"This move Safeguard used very cleverly, it directly blocked all Butterfree's ideas." Lu Luan greatly appreciated Liao Wu's operation.
"Now Ye Tian can only replace the elves. If Butterfree continues to fight, it will be in vain." Zhang Cheng Analytic said, "Ye Tian should have guessed Liao Wu's tactics, but I don't know if Hydreigon will be sent for a head-on confrontation."
"I don't think he will send Hydreigon so early." Lu Luan said with a smile, "If Hydreigon is sent now, Dragonite will definitely not fight head-on, which will become very troublesome."
"The other elves in Ye Tian's hands are basically restrained by Dragonite, a flying dragon. If Hydreigon is not sent, how should we deal with it next? Are there any other elves in Ye Tian's hands that can resist Dragonite?" Zhang Cheng asked curiously.
"You'll find out after you read on." Lu Luan didn't want to say more in this regard, so he chose to change the subject and continue watching the game.
Hearing Lu Luan's words, Zhang Cheng knew that Ye Tian probably had other elves that he didn't know about, but when he thought about it carefully, Zhang Cheng thought it was normal. He had already become Junior Champion level Trainer. How could he only have those few elves in his hand.
This is also true for Zhang Cheng himself. In the past few years, he has also conquered some powerful elves to ensure that his team's lineup will not be too monotonous.
The game is still going on. Ye Tian, like the two Analytic, chose to take back Butterfree and replaced it with Rock-type's high Physical Attack sprite Rampardos.
This is the first time Rampardos of Ye Tian appears in the game. Zhang Cheng had no idea that Ye Tian had such an elf before.
