Start with the Beastmaster Contract - Chapter 265
c265 Suspicion
This nearly one month period was not entirely for Lin Qianyu and the others to adjust to the jet lag, as necessary training still had to be carried out.
Next to the hotel accommodation provided by the event organizer, there is a training hall, which is a supporting training hall of the hotel. As long as you stay in the hotel, you can use the training hall for free.
However, although the equipment in this training hall is good, it can only withstand the daily training of the King Realm beastmasters. If a fight breaks out, it is estimated that the ceiling of this training hall will be blown off.
This is also normal.
After all, when the beastmaster’s strength reaches a certain level, no one will come to this kind of training hall for training. Generally, they have their own training grounds for training.
In other words, when this training hall was first built, it was not considered at all that high-level beastmasters would train in it.
This time, the organizer of the World Professional Tournament also drew Reykjavik, which means that this is a random event, so it is normal that some things are not taken care of.
However, the organizer of the event also seriously helped Lin Qianyu and others find a place for their daily training. They were ready to go there. That place was a little far from the hotel, so they had to go there very early and return very late.
However, because this time it was a public-funded overseas competition, the three title-level imperial envoys discussed and rented a villa near the training ground, which was convenient for training directly and did not waste time running around.
In addition, there was a holiday resort nearby, which was a bit good. They could go there to play and relax their body and mind during their free time during training.
There were no unified requirements for this training. Lin Qianyu and others were only required to maintain their daily training and maintain a good state. However, there were some taboos, such as not eating beef noodles. In the previous few times, the domestic representative team ate beef noodles without knowing the consequences, and then the overall performance was poor.
And Lin Qianyu was also doing daily training like the other four teammates. After the daily training, it was the tacit understanding training of team battles. This item was very simple, but it was very brain-wasting.
After all, it is quite difficult for five charioteers to command five beasts and cooperate with them to the extreme.
If Lin Qianyu and the other five were long-term teammates, it would be fine, but it is not easy to achieve the current situation after only a few months of running-in.
Now, they don’t expect to make any progress, just maintain the current state and tacit understanding, which is already a very good thing for them.
From the perspective of tourism, Reykjavik is a good place to go, but according to Lin Qianyu and others who came with a mission, no matter how beautiful the scenery here is, they don’t mean to appreciate it all.
In the evening, when you are free from training, you may go out for a walk, take a look, and experience the exotic city atmosphere that is different from the daytime, but you won’t stay there for long.
Always end the day with tasting delicious food.
In the past few days, the strength of Lin Yi and his beasts has fluctuated a bit. When they absorb more resources and treasures, they have a little desire to break through to the legendary realm.
However, they all resisted with their own will and the secret methods of the three titled-level beast masters who accompanied the team.
After all, if they broke through to the legendary realm at this critical moment, things would be a bit serious.
After all, the world professional competition is a competition for the world’s top professional beast masters under the age of 40. You have become a master-level beast master, why do you come here to participate in the competition? Dimensional strike? Although it is a little nonsense, this is the actual situation.
Therefore, in the past few days, Lin Yi and others dared not feed their ace beasts any resources to cultivate treasures, nor did they dare to over-train them, just to maintain their daily state.
Although the secret methods used by the three titled-level beast masters are very reliable, if the desire and strength to break through are too outrageous, they can’t be blocked.
In this way, there are still more than ten days before the start of the world professional competition, and teams from all over the world have already arrived in Reykjavik.
On the same day, all members of the national teams participating in the world professional competition were summoned by the organizers and gathered together.
Huaxia, Bald Eagle Alliance, Gaul, Western Oxen, Suxiong Alliance and other countries gathered together.
Looking at these hundreds of people, as expected, Lin Qianyu didn’t recognize any of them, and he even didn’t recognize the flags of some countries.
Lin Qianyu did recognize the flags of several famous countries.
As the representative of the organizer came on stage, hundreds of imperial envoys under the age of 40 from more than 100 countries gathered here to listen to the speech of the representative above.
When the representative above spoke, Lin Qianyu and others had real-time translation in their headsets. Otherwise, according to Lin Qianyu and others’ understanding of foreign languages, it would probably be like listening to thunder.
After the translation in the headset, Lin Qianyu also understood the rules of this world professional competition.
This world professional competition is divided into individual battles and team battles.
Among them, the individual battle is to command two beasts in a round-robin battle. There is no limit on the number of participating beasts. It depends on how many beasts the envoy has contracted. And as long as the opponent has no beasts that can continue to fight, the game is considered over.
Team battles are when five charioteers command five beasts and draw battle sites to fight. The charioteers do not need to enter the battle sites.
After all, when beasts fight, the charioteers’ weak bodies cannot withstand the aftermath of the battle, even if they have the strength feedback of the beasts.
Moreover, in the World Professional Tournament, the participants are professional charioteers under the age of 40 from various countries, and these charioteers can be said to have stepped half a foot into the master level charioteers, and are the reserve of the title level charioteers.
If they are killed by professional charioteers from some countries that they don’t deal with, it will be a big loss. After all, this kind of thing is not without precedent.
Originally, the World Professional Tournament should be the World Masters Tournament, a competition for master charioteers. As a result, in one master tournament, several master charioteers were deliberately killed by charioteers from some countries that they don’t deal with.
Although there are referees, the battles between master-level envoys make it difficult for these referees to intervene, so several master-level envoys were killed.
It is precisely because of this that the World Professional Tournament began to take shape.
After all, compared with professional-level envoys and master-level envoys, the loss of professional-level envoys is definitely less painful.
Although the rules were changed later and envoys did not enter the battle field, the professional competitions that were set did not change.
……
Individual competitions are participated by individuals, that is, five people from a national team participate together, which means they occupy five places.
It is precisely because the variables of individual competitions are large and they test the combat power of envoys more, so the results of the World Professional Tournament are calculated by adding up 60% of the individual competition results and 40% of the team competition results.
Only the top ten in individual and team competitions will score.
The champion of the individual competition scores 10 points, the runner-up scores 9 points, and so on, and the same is true for team competitions.
Regardless of individual or team competitions, players from several countries were directly promoted to the group stage without having to participate in the preliminaries.
Among them, players from six countries, including Huaxia, Bald Eagle Alliance, Suxiong Alliance, Gaul, Xiniu, and Beihu, were promoted to the top 256 in individual competitions and the top 64 in team competitions.
The reason why these six countries were promoted is that they have outstanding performance in previous World Professional Championships.
And this outstanding performance is at least the top eight.
After the rules and precautions of this World Professional Championship were explained, the real-time translation was interrupted. At this time, Lin Qianyu knew that the next words would be nonsense.
Starting from today’s meeting, the players participating in the World Professional Championship have been caught in an extremely tense atmosphere.
Among them, Lin Qianyu was naturally included. After all, this was his first time to participate in such a world-class event, and he was still representing his own country.
This is an honor, but more of a pressure.
In the remaining ten days, there will be individual and team qualifiers. When the qualifiers are over and the group stage begins, the official opening day of the World Professional Championship will begin.
During these ten days, Lin Qianyu and others went to the qualifiers to watch their games whenever they had time.
Among them, the beast control level of countries in Asia, Europe, and America is higher, but the beast control level of African countries is not as high as that of Asian, European, and American countries, but their combat effectiveness is stronger.
This should also be related to the environment they are in. Asia, Europe, and America are in a state of peace all year round. Although America often fights for freedom and shoots you from time to time every day, it is still very peaceful overall.
However, Africa is the most frequent war region in the world. Wars will break out between countries, tribes, and even ethnic groups because of some minor problems.
In this environment, some people even believe that the headquarters of Hilt, the Beast En Club, and the Tiansheng Church may be established in Africa.
After all, in such a place where wars are frequent, it is indeed suitable for Hilt, the Beast Encyclopedia and the Tiansheng Church to hide their activities.
However, because of the ranking of Africa, it is basically impossible to confirm, and it can only be said to be an assumption and conjecture.
Even in the preliminaries, the battles were extremely fierce, especially for the contestants from African countries, who basically chose to fight for their lives. Under this kind of fierce fighting style, many national contestants were beaten into a confused face, and then were forced to lose the game.
After all, some contestants from African countries, after being forced into a desperate situation, directly let their beasts use self-destruction to end the game.
Relying on the complete medical facilities around, their beasts will not be in danger of life, so they just use them recklessly.
And the contestants from other countries who have not encountered such a situation are directly confused.
In terms of combat experience, everyone may be almost the same, but in terms of fierce fighting style and fighting for life, the gap is really huge.
However, this is also related to the fact that the organizers did not clearly state that the contestants could not use the skill of self-destruction.
More than ten days later.
The top 256 of the individual competition and the top 64 of the team competition have also been determined.
At this time, it was already mid-November, which was the day when the World Professional Championship officially started.
The individual competition was the first competition to start, so the first thing in the World Professional Championship was the group stage of the individual competition.
There were 32 groups in total, with eight contestants in each group, and these eight contestants played a round-robin match within the group. The top two contestants in terms of wins and losses advanced to the knockout round of the top 64.
On the competition field, the battles were carried out one by one, and in the group that Lin Qianyu was in, there were no four of his teammates, which meant that Lin Qianyu could play freely in this group.
Because the top two in each group advanced to the knockout round of the top 64, Lin Qianyu played a little relaxed.
Let Nether and Turtle go on the field first.
After the krypton gold training and cultivation, Turtle and Nether showed the same strength as crushing the other beasts on the field.
Basically, the beasts that encounter the turtle and the netherworld are the ones that are killed instantly by the turtle and the netherworld.
Among them, Lin Qianyu also faced contestants from the African land countries. However, when he felt that the game was hopeless and chose to let the beast use self-destruction to fight, the purification power of the turtle directly made the African land contestants who wanted to let the beast use the self-destruction skill doubt their lives.
After all, for the contestants from the African land countries, what they rely on most is the ruthlessness of the beasts and the ruthlessness of the opponents.
Now, the ruthlessness of the beasts is not shown at all, and the ruthlessness of the opponents has now become the opponents’ ruthlessness towards them.
Without the threat of the self-destruction skill, the contestants from the African land countries facing Lin Qianyu have no way to deal with Lin Qianyu at all.
They can’t break the turtle’s defense, can’t withstand the attack of the netherworld, and the most important thing is that their beasts’ strongest attack method has been directly abolished.
In this situation, the group of contestants from Africa could only grit their teeth and choose to announce the failure of the competition for the country they represented.
A few days later, Lin Qianyu ranked first in his group and directly advanced to the top 64.
The time difference between the other groups and Lin Qianyu’s group was not much, and basically, they all advanced at the same time.
