The next day, the competition officially started, and Cangling Ancient Country announced that Ning Tian would not participate in today’s match, so the odds at the casino remained unchanged, staying around 3:7.
Before Ning Tian was injured, the casino’s assessnt of the two countries’ strength was 4.5:5.5, with Beiming Country slightly leading, but the strength was basically evenly matched.
Now that Ning Tian was missing, the drop in odds was normal.
Lin Chen had already gotten up early, as they went to bed very early the previous night, so they were all full of energy.
Today Lin Chen was going to face Balke, and Lin Chen was looking forward to it quite a bit.
Balke’s First Spirit Beast had not yet revealed its fifth skill.
So, Lin Chen knew that today Xiaobai would face a tough battle.
In contrast, because it’s a beast battle today, Lin Chen wasn’t too worried about Little Fox.
If Little Fox was really pushed to the edge, he would just launch a True Fla Mode Demon Fire Nuclear Bomb.
If the opponent could even handle this, Lin Chen would accept it.
When they arrived at the venue, the audience was still bustling with enthusiasm. Even though many people knew that Cangling Ancient Country would lose today, they continued to give the warst support.
After all, it was a ho ga.
"Lin Chen, after the match, can your Niu Niu give a hoofprint?"
"I want a fox print."
"...."
Lin Chen was sweating.
Even in this era, there are still star chasers.
He walked slowly into the player rest area, where Fang You and Zhang Suqing had already arrived and inford Lin Chen that the third-year competition had already started.
Lin Chen sat there quietly waiting.
If both the third-year and second-year teams lost all their matches, then there was no need to continue fighting.
The essence of the Beast Fighting Conference’s rules was that this was a team competition, representing not just individuals but a team, a country, and it wasn’t about heroism.
However, history is full of examples of people making a coback at the last mont and securing a victory, leaving their na in the Beast Fighting Conference.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, soone ca over to inform Lin Chen that Wu Chen’s match was over and Cangling Ancient Country had won the first match.
Upon hearing this news, Lin Chen and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Wu Chen won, then the two countries had returned to the sa starting point.
But the good news ended there. After Wu Chen defeated his opponent, the other two students from the third-year had a tough battle, and even after playing all their cards, they only managed a draw and a loss.
This record looked decent, but it was unfavorable for Cangling Ancient Country.
Because on paper, Cangling Ancient Country was not the favored side in the second-year matches.
And indeed, when the second-year competition began, even though the two students gave their all, the final results were still very disappointing.
The captain of the second-year team managed a draw, but the second student couldn’t withstand the pressure and lost in one move.
So, the current record was a devastating blow for Cangling Ancient Country.
Currently, Cangling Ancient Country had 1 win, 2 draws, and 3 losses, with a score of 4.
Beiming Country’s record was 3 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss, with a score of 8.
Leading by almost half.
So now, all the pressure was on Lin Chen and the others.
"It’s over now, isn’t this exactly the sa as the deadlock between Beiming Country and Youlan Empire?"
"Looking at it now, the freshn must achieve 2 wins and a draw to have a chance at an extra match."
"Exactly, to win, they need a clean sweep of three victories."
Hearing this bad news, the audience buzzed with discussions.
Many people felt that the competition had gotten out of reach.
....
After the senior-level matches ended, Wu Chen and the others ca over, each with a somber expression.
Clearly, they also knew that things looked grim this ti.
This ti, they really perford terribly.
The main issue was that all their hidden strategies had been studied thoroughly, and the draw didn’t favor them.
For example, the second place in the third-year team was better at brawling, but luck of the draw paired them in a beast battle.
If not, securing two victories wouldn’t have been a big problem.
But since it had co to this, no one said much. Wu Chen, in true senior brother fashion, told Lin Chen and the others: "It doesn’t matter if we lose, after all, we seniors will take the bla, just focus on your match."
Lin Chen sighed with a bitter smile, then stood up.
Since Cangling Ancient Country was in the top three of the winner’s bracket, they could choose who to send first.
Lin Chen thought it over, intending to go first, but Zhang Suqing unexpectedly stepped up and said:
"Let do it."
Zhang Suqing was the most nervous.
Among the freshn, Lin Chen and Fang You’s strength was significantly above that of other students.
Even the third-best, Zhang Suqing, was no exception.
Lin Chen thought for a mont, then nodded.
This match for Zhang Suqing was a beast battle, so her task for herself was: one win, one loss.
As long as she could secure a minor victory, she believed Lin Chen and the others could claim the other two wins, giving Cangling Ancient Country a chance for an extra match.
"Alright." Lin Chen nodded, as did Fang You beside him.
Just as Zhang Suqing was preparing to take the stage, a thought hit Lin Chen, and he quickly went to Zhang Suqing’s side, whispering sothing to her.
Zhang Suqing’s eyes widened at Lin Chen, then she nodded.
After verifying both parties’ identities, the referee announced the start of the match.
First Round:
[Wild Boar Elephant VS Giant Beast]
Both spirit beasts were of power type, and both were quite large.
As soon as the fight started, the two spirit beasts were going all out, and the lee combat made the audience’s blood boil.
