Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

Compared to the first round, the number of people entering the second round of qualifying was reduced by half, so the time to finish was only about half of the first round.

With the end of the last group of games, everyone had a quarter of an hour of rest.

Jiang Cheng originally planned to stay in the lounge and wait quietly for the third round of draw to begin.

Suddenly, my cell phone rang and there was a text message.

Jiang Cheng took out his cell phone and looked at it. A smile appeared on his face. Then he stood up and walked outside.

"Brother Jiang Cheng!"

Seeing Jiang Cheng appear, Lin Yue in the audience waved her arms happily.

Jiang Cheng looked and saw that besides Lin Yue, Old Qin and Qin Yu were also there, so he walked over.

As he walked over, he attracted the attention of many people around him.

"Look, that's Teacher Jiang." A boy said in a low voice.

"They look so young." A girl with long hair exclaimed.

Although I could see Jiangcheng on the big screen before, it was always at a distance, not like seeing it up close like now.

"Yeah, he's about the same age as us, right? But he's already a first-level Grandmaster, and an alchemist, while we're only a few-level Force Warriors..."

"More than that." Someone nearby immediately said, "He is not an ordinary first-level Grandmaster. Didn't you see that even Teacher Fang was defeated by him? And how many first-level Grandmasters can advance to the third round?"

"Yes, yes."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

"Brother Jiang Cheng, you are so awesome. I knew you could beat everyone and win first place." Lin Yue looked at Jiang Cheng with admiration.

Speaking of which, this was the first time she saw Jiang Cheng take action.

Qin Yu, who was standing aside, seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Jiang Cheng's performance indeed exceeded her expectations.

But she really didn't believe that Jiang Cheng could beat everyone and get first place. After all, those other people were not pushovers either.

"Xiaoyue, since you said that, how can I not bring back a championship?" Jiang Cheng said with a smile.

"Don't be complacent and pop champagne at halftime."

Old Qin coughed and said, "Let's get into the final round first."

"What Mr. Qin said is true. No matter who my next opponent is, I will take it seriously." Jiang Cheng said.

"Ah."

Old Qin then nodded. Based on his understanding of Jiang Cheng, he knew that the latter was not the kind of person who would be proud and complacent. However, he still had to remind him just in case.

A few people were chatting when suddenly a familiar voice sounded from the side.

"Teacher Jiang, you are amazing."

It’s Xie Jianfeng.

He gave a thumbs up and said, "At first I thought Teacher Jiang would be the same as me, but in the end, Teacher Jiang advanced directly to the third round, unlike me, who was eliminated in the first round..."

At the end of his speech, he smiled bitterly.

That's fine.

The key point is that Fang Guo, who eliminated him in the first round, was eliminated by Jiang Cheng in the second round.

This shows what?
This means that although he and Jiang Cheng are both first-level masters, if they really fight, he is probably no match for Jiang Cheng.

"It's Teacher Xie." Jiang Cheng looked at him. "Teacher Xie, you're too polite. I was able to enter the third round, and it was also a bit of luck."

"luck?"

Xie Jianfeng shook his head repeatedly.

"Teacher Jiang, please don't be so modest. Everyone saw clearly what happened in those two battles. I won't say anything else. I hope Teacher Jiang can draw a good lot next time and successfully advance to the final round."

"Thank you."

Jiang Cheng said hurriedly. Then, several teachers from the Alchemy Department came over and greeted Jiang Cheng.

Not only that, he also said that he had already told other people in the group to come and watch the upcoming third round of the game.

Jiang Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After a few minutes, the people who had left halfway came back one after another.

Because it was the last round, more people came to watch the game.

Jiang Cheng also stood up and left the audience and walked into the lounge.

About three minutes later, Xu Juan walked onto the stage again and started the last round of drawing lots for the day.

Suddenly, the whole place was silent.

Everyone's eyes fell on the big screen behind Xu Juan.

The atmosphere in the lounge was even more tense than outside.

Many people prayed secretly in their hearts that the next opponents they drew would not be the most difficult ones. If possible, it would be even better if they could avoid the top ten from last time; top twenty would be even better.

Xu Juan pressed the pause button, and the match map on the screen was also frozen.

Everyone in the lounge also took out their cell phones.

"Sun Tong?"

Jiang Cheng looked at the phone screen, a little surprised.

Someone with the surname Sun?

There should be many people with the surname Sun in the City of Hope, but there should be no other possibility except Sun Bo's family here, right?
Unfortunately, the information did not reveal the opponent's true strength. This was also the consideration of the academy, who did not want people to have psychological pressure. Although this was useless, after all, there were only so many people in the academy, and after a long time, everyone would know who was who.

Even if you don't know, it's not difficult to ask someone around you at this time.

Jiang Cheng had no such plan.

Because there is no point in knowing it.

It's like if he met the strongest people, he would have no other choice but to face the challenge head-on.

"It's that boy?"

Not far from Jiangcheng, a middle-aged man stared at the screen of his mobile phone with disbelief in his eyes.

That’s right, he was Sun Tong, who had been instructed by Sun Bo to attack Jiang Cheng but failed two or three weeks ago.

A week ago, he returned to the City of Hope from the outside world and signed up for this competition.

As soon as he entered the lounge, he recognized Jiang Cheng sitting with Xie Jianfeng in the crowd.

However, he didn't care much and didn't even take a second look.

First of all, it was unnecessary. What was there to worry about with a mere first-level Grandmaster? This time, I signed up just to add more people.

On the other hand, he was also worried about revealing something. After all, logically speaking, he and Jiang Cheng did not know each other and had no connection.

However, Jiang Cheng's subsequent performance really surprised him. Even though he was reluctant in his heart, he had to admit that the latter did have some fighting talent.

What he didn't expect was that he would encounter it directly in the third round.

"Haha, there really is no coincidence in the world."

Thinking of this, Sun Tong sneered in his heart.

Maybe this kid really had the potential to enter the top 20 or 30 as those people said, but unfortunately, he met me and could only stop in the third round.

pity.

This is a virtual battle.

It would be nice if it were real.
