Chapter 587: Stimulation
At night, in the barbeque restaurant.
Jiang Xiao was holding a pair of long chopsticks in his hand and staring at the sizzling roast meat on the pan that was emitting golden oil.
Opposite him, the two teachers were sitting together and staring at Jiang Xiao. One had a hint of playfulness in his pampering, while the other had a hint of admiration in his exclamation.
Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but pick up the roast meat with his chopsticks and take a look. He then turned it over and placed the beef on the pan. He looked up at the two of them and said,””You two are getting along pretty well, huh?”
“Hehe, that’s right. I have to thank you for still thinking about your teacher even after going to university.” Hai Tianqing looked at Jiang Xiao with a smile.
“Hmph,” he snorted. Fang Xingyun had a teasing look on her face and snorted.”Now that you’re saying this, I was the one who chased her all the way to Beijiang. It was a World of Ice and snow. Thinking about it now, my heart feels a little cold.”
Oh? There were still some twists and turns in the follow-up plot after the two met?
People would always show different sides in front of different people. For example, the current Fang Xingyun had always been gentle and generous. She was gentle and patient when she was with her students. However, in front of hai Tianqing, she acted like a little girl, which was very rare.
“Uh …” Hai Tianqing turned to look at Fang Xingyun with an embarra.s.sed expression.
Fang Xingyun rolled his eyes at hai Tianqing and picked up the public chopsticks to give Jiang Xiao a piece of roasted meat.
“Waa.” Jiang Xiao was almost drooling. He hurriedly picked up the roast meat and swallowed it in a few bites before continuing to stare at the roast meat on the pan.
Fang Xingyun continued to roast meat for Jiang Xiao while hai Tianqing looked at Fang Xingyun in a daze, unable to utter a word for a long time.
For a moment, the world seemed to have quieted down, leaving only the sizzling sound of the roast meat.
When Jiang Xiao ate the second piece of barbecued meat that Fang Xingyun had picked up, he realized that something was amiss. How long had it been since someone spoke?
Hai Tianqing, what are you doing? Can’t speak? You don’t know how to coax people? Don’t you know how to adjust the atmosphere?
As an old man in his thirties, do you need me to teach you how to pick up girls?
If I don’t force you, you won’t even know how outstanding you are!
Jiang Xiao picked up some meat with his chopsticks and hummed softly,””The candlelight illuminated the dinner, but it didn’t give an answer. Love is not a warm treat …”
Hai Tianqing was left speechless.
Upon hearing his words, Fang Xingyun couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Jiang Xiao as well. He then picked up a piece of roasted potato for him.
Jiang Xiao was full during the meal, but hai Tianqing didn’t seem to be in the right state of mind. The topic of conversation between the three of them then s.h.i.+fted to the compet.i.tion. Jiang Xiao felt that it was better to wait for the progress bar of the two teachers ‘relations.h.i.+p progress to increase for a few years before deciding.
To his surprise, when Fang Xingyun went to pay the bill, hai Tianqing suddenly leaned forward and said in a low voice,””I want to propose to you, teacher Fang.”
Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.
No wonder hai Tianqing had been in a daze all this time. He had been plotting something!
“Have you considered it?” Jiang Xiao asked.
Hai Tianqing’s expression changed from a dazed one during dinner. He said firmly,””Yes, I am.”
Jiang Xiao nodded and said,”I’m just giving you my blessings. Why are you telling me this? is it because …?”
Hai Tianqing rested his chin on his hand and said,””I think the moment you win the champions.h.i.+p will be a good opportunity.”
Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.
Ya … It’s easier said than done. You have so much confidence in me? If I can’t win the World Champions.h.i.+p, are you still not going to propose?
Hai Tianqing continued,”under such an atmosphere, she would be even happier.”
Jiang Xiao thought for a while and said,”a proposal and a confession are the same. They’re both confirming a new relations.h.i.+p.” They should be the horns of the final victory, not the horns of the charge to launch an attack. ”
Hai Tianqing was slightly taken aback, for he didn’t expect Jiang Xiao to say such a thing.
After a moment of silence, hai Tianqing said,”I’ve been with your teacher Fang for more than half a year. We both understand each other’s feelings. I’m sure the time is right.”
Jiang Xiao nodded and asked,’you want to propose to me in front of people all over the world? It’s so romantic. ”
Jiang Xiao thought to himself hatefully, oh you! ‘Oh my G.o.d!’ Oh, your face! I’ll reply with an ‘Oh’ whenever you send me a message.
Hai Tianqing smiled and said,”it’s indeed very romantic, but it’s too ostentatious. I know her. She definitely won’t like it. Besides, if you really succeed, that’ll be the moment that belongs to you.” ‘I want to …’ Well, I think it’s good to be in the locker room. ”
Jiang Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Hai Tianqing looked at Fang Xingyun, who was walking back from afar, and whispered,””No matter what, I’ll propose to her at the end of your World Cup journey.”
Jiang Xiao saw hai Tianqing’s gaze and replied softly,””Then … I wish us both success. ”
Hai Tianqing retracted his gaze and looked at Jiang Xiao, who was in front of him, before nodding with a smile.
……
On the 3rd of July, Jiang Xiao witnessed the capital Star Warriors team’s defeat under the leaders.h.i.+p of the a.n.a.lyst. In the end, the capital Star Warriors team ranked sixth in the world Cup with one win and one loss in the losers ‘category.
Such a result was already very good, and the domestic evaluation of Capital Star Warrior University was not bad.
Of course, it was also inevitable that there would be a lot of trolls who would insult Imperial Star Warriors for not achieving better results. They would target every match and criticize the mistakes and reactions of the four team members. However, these comments were nothing. The position of Imperial Star Warriors was amazing. They were ranked in the world’s top eight and locked in the sixth place in the world Cup.
Moreover, they had Shanghai Star martial arts behind them and xiangnan military school’s team in front of them was aiming for the champions.h.i.+p, so … The Star Warriors of the imperial capital suffered very little ‘cannon fire’.
As for the individual compet.i.tion, the rankings were a little more interesting. Since the rankings were from 7 to 11, after a lucky person got an empty slot, they would directly enter the next round. The 10th and 11th place were revealed, but the rankings for the top three were still unknown.
There were still empty spots in the five-person compet.i.tion. However, the three of them fought for the top spot. The World Cup did not draw a bye again, but directly started the points compet.i.tion.
But the problem was … After the three of them had fought a round, their points were actually the same, with one win and one loss.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, when the points were the same, there could be additional criteria for judgment, such as the duration of the compet.i.tion, the degree of damage done to the enemy, the degree of self-exhaustion, and so on.
But the World Cup didn’t do that. A win is a win, a loss is a loss. Since the points are the same, it’s the same. Let’s redo it!
The three of them had a total of three rounds. If the three contestants still had the same points in the next two rounds, the compet.i.tion Committee would then use other methods to determine who had the higher score.
This wasn’t a replay of the 652nd, 651St, and 650th places. Those rankings couldn’t enter the point-based compet.i.tion. There were so many people who signed up for the World Cup, and there were so many matches. One had to finish all the matches within 40 days. Therefore, the point-based compet.i.tion could only be used after the seventh or eighth round, leaving time for more important people.
Now, the World Cup was coming to an end. There were very few matches left, and they were all extremely important. Putting aside the honor, it also attracted the audience’s attention. This was a replay of the top ten in the world! 7th, 8th, 9th!
If people all over the world like it, then let’s do it again!
This also served as a reminder to the contestants who had entered the top six. After the next round, if nothing unexpected happened, the three people from the winner’s group would fight for the first, second, and third places, while the three people from the loser’s group would fight for the fourth, fifth, and sixth places.
You must have the ability and win two rounds in the group to get the highest ranking. Otherwise … A rematch! Continue broadcasting! It would be best if it could be broadcasted for all three rounds …
After the third round, they would let the judges decide the ranking …
Jiang Xiao wasn’t surprised at all. The rules of the World Cup in the past had also been the same. The closer they were to the final battle, the more difficult it would be to move forward.
However, what made Jiang Xiao unhappy was that he had an extra two days of rest time due to the rematch between the 7th, 8th, and 9th place teams …
It would have been fine if they were really taking a break. The problem was that Jiang Xiao still had to “focus on the college entrance examination” with the a.n.a.lysts in the two extra days.
Ever since he entered the top 100 of the World Cup and had a ranking, Jiang Xiao had been playing a game every five days.
Jiang Xiao was already familiar with the rhythm, and the use of the final ranking system at the end of the compet.i.tion had indeed disrupted his rhythm.
Of course, it was fair. Jiang Xiao was feeling uncomfortable, and the other contestants who had entered the top six were not any better. They were all suffering in pain …
As for the team compet.i.tion’s compet.i.tion format, it was very clear. The four-to-two compet.i.tion smoothly began.
Jiang Xiao was also fortunate enough to witness history.
In the round of four to two, xiangnan military school had encountered the strange-looking team from Jacob.
Xiangnan military school’s soldiers relied on their perfect defense system to lay out the layout, endure the intrusion, and be suppressed by the elusive a.s.sa.s.sins for 13 minutes. With the order of xiangnan’s support, a Golden Wave spread out.
A set of defensive counterattacks consisting of s.h.i.+eld, agility, and magic actually played out the rhythm of a wave of attacks, directly taking away two agility fighters and one auxiliary. The only agility fighter from Jacob, whose whereabouts were unknown, had no choice but to reveal himself when he saw that his comrade was seriously injured. He took the initiative to admit defeat and asked for help from the medical Star Warrior.
That afternoon, the battle between the northern kingdom and the ancient kingdom began. This battle of lightning and sand really shocked everyone.
The two sides fought fiercely, and it was hard to tell who was winning. In the sand, the guefharans ‘defenses and senses were greatly enhanced, and their movements were more agile.
The G.o.ds of the northern kingdom had finally met their match. It was no exaggeration to say that the G.o.ds of the northern kingdom had met an opponent that could restrain them!
This group of people who played with sand really did not fear playing with lightning …
The scene of this match was earth-shattering.
The sky and the earth exploded!
The sand exploded, and the Thunder exploded!
The sky was filled with electric currents, and the ground was filled with yellow sand …
In front of the audience, the defensive cover that was opened by more than a dozen Star Warriors made m.u.f.fled thuds and waves of shaking sounds, which could really scare people to death.
The live audience and commentators were probably regretting their decision to watch the compet.i.tion live. It was too F * cking exciting!
When the players were fighting with their lives on the stage, the audience didn’t have to do anything. As long as you were sitting off the stage, it was considered as fighting with your life!
Guay’s formation consisted of one s.h.i.+eld, two magic, and one auxiliary. On the other hand, the North team had a standard 1 s.h.i.+eld, 1 dexterity, 1 Magic, and 1 support.
In the end, the guelphans, who fought on their home ground, were promoted to pharaohs and won the compet.i.tion.
In a battle of this level, the output and control standards of the two mage cla.s.s players of Guay were completely displayed in front of everyone. It also told everyone what the core position of the Mage cla.s.s was.
The final match would be between the Chinese team and the Guay team.
This group of northern G.o.ds, who had been praised to the heavens by the European fans, had finally been nurned out of the final circle to compete with the Jacob a.s.sa.s.sins for the third and fourth place …
After the re-match of the individual compet.i.tion, Jiang Xiao received the list of opponents for the eighth round.
When the second group finished drawing lots on the big screen, the old man opened up the paper in his hand. The red flag was in the middle of the drawing. Ming Ming clenched his fists tightly.
