Nine fifty.
Climbing Arena.
There are only ten minutes left until the knockout round of 16 to 8.
The audience had already entered the venue, and the auditorium was crowded with tens of thousands of spectators, who were enthusiastic and looking forward to the official start of the game.
Today, eight duels will be held one after another.
Since the competition system no longer uses multiple venues for simultaneous duels, every duel now attracts widespread attention.
A large number of media reporters have arrived early and the cameras are ready.
Today's game can be described as a strong clash of forces, and it is very likely that some big news will break out.
In order to capture this news, reporters worked tirelessly and waited here early.
At this moment, the reporters all aimed their cameras at the guest seats.
The guest seat lineup has been upgraded again today.
Not only are there two rookie kings from Pengyue and Tianyu High School, but also mentors from several well-known dueling colleges in Bird City.
You know, to be able to serve as a mentor in a duel high school, especially the famous duel high school in Bird City, one must at least be a Glory One-Star Duelist!
Without exception!
What's more, among the two tutors present today, one graduated from Changda University, and the other graduated from Bird City University!
Changda High School is the top duel high school in Bird City. It is the dream school of countless students and is very powerful.
This representative mentor is a duelist with three stars of glory.
Not to mention Bird City University. A university that is qualified to be named after a city must have both strength and foundation.
Just like the status of Jiangcheng University in Jiangcheng.
It symbolizes the facade of a city!
This mentor from Bird City is also a Glory three-star duelist, and seems to be more familiar with the mentor from Changda University. At this moment, they are talking and laughing, discussing some trivial matters.
Since they were the two of them in the C position today, Su Yu and Wang Haoyun, the two rookie kings from Pengyue and Tianyu respectively, sat aside and chatted in a low voice.
"Su Yu, there should be a good show to watch today." Wang Haoyun smiled happily.
Seeing him like that, Su Yu immediately guessed something, snorted and laughed, saying, "I think you have other intentions."
"You figured it out."
Wang Haoyun was frank and said with a smile, "To be honest, the competition itself is not very interesting. No matter how strong those people are, can they be stronger than us? If they are not as good as us, then what's the point of watching them?"
"That Yuxuan girl is indeed pretty, and she's my type."
Hearing this, Su Yu couldn't help but teasingly said, "You call her so intimately, if you don't know, you might think she has something to do with you."
"Just thinking about it, why not?"
Wang Haoyun didn't think it was wrong at all. Instead, he said, "Besides, I'm a handsome man after all, a genius in Bird City. In the future, let alone Glory, I have a chance to become a Master or Legend. If a beautiful girl is with me, it's the girl who benefits, not me."
"As long as you are happy."
Su Yu didn't have time to deal with this iron-skinned man, but he was right about one thing.
The Bird City Graduation Cup is indeed not very interesting for the two of them.
As the two were talking, extremely passionate music suddenly sounded at the scene.
Immediately afterwards, a strong wind suddenly blew above the huge duel arena.
Amidst the shocked gazes and enthusiastic cheers of tens of thousands of spectators, a deep blue flying dragon fluttered its wings, circled above the duel arena, and then let out a terrifying dragon roar.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Bird City Graduation Cup's 16-to-8 elimination round. Are you ready for a wonderful and crazy morning?"
The host's highly infectious voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of every audience member present through the microphone formed by the cards.
"Ready!"
The response from the audience was also very positive and enthusiastic. The voices came together to form a deafening wave of sound, and the atmosphere on the scene directly reached its peak.
"Okay, then without further ado, let's welcome today's first group of contestants. First up is Lin You from Jiangcheng!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers from the audience. Although the sound was not too loud, it was far from dull and the atmosphere was even a little excited.
This shows that the average quality of the audience in Bird City is still very good.
Even players from other places will be cheered.
Hearing his own name, Lin You felt a little surprised and walked out of the preparation area.
In fact, today's respective game schedules were announced on the spot rather than known in advance.
Therefore, all the contestants were placed in a large preparation room at this moment. Some of them who knew each other were chatting, while more people were silent and somewhat nervous.
After finally getting this far, everyone wants to go higher and further.
Lin You had just taken a few steps when the host's voice exploded again like thunder.
"Then there's Yang Xu, a top student from Tianyu High School in Bird City!"
"Yang Xu!"
"Yang Xu!"
"Yang Xu!"
The scene suddenly became as lively as a boiling pot, with waves of noise coming one after another. Many people were shouting Yang Xu's name. These people had basically read the popular post on the Bird City Forum, so they knew that Yang Xu was one of the ace twin stars of the Bird City contestants!
Not only outside the field, but also many people in the preparation area looked at Lin You who had left first, with some sympathy in their eyes.
Poor guy, he met Yang Xu so early, it seems he will be eliminated in the round of 16.
It’s not that they look down on Lin You, but if they were in his place, they wouldn’t think they had any chance of winning.
In the entire preparation area, the only one who is truly capable of competing with or even defeating Yang Xu is Jiang Xiao.
Listening to the voices cheering for him from outside the stadium, a sense of satisfaction crossed Yang Xu's face.
This is the benefit brought by fame and strength. He has to admit that he enjoys it very much.
As for this opponent.
Frankly speaking, Yang Xu had read the popular post on the forum and also read some information about Lin You, but these information did not make him feel much threatened.
Looking at the entire Niaodu Graduation Cup, his only real opponent is Jiang Xiao.
His goal this time is to defeat Jiang Xiao head-on in this competition.
This is also the only goal.
He has no interest in other people.
In the duel arena, facing the gazes of tens of thousands of spectators, Lin You and Yang Xu took their positions fifty meters apart, quietly waiting for the supervisor to announce the start of the match.
…
Guest seats.
Seeing Lin You appear, Wang Haoyun specifically mentioned, "Su Yu, isn't that the guy you're interested in?"
"Don't talk about this useless stuff."
Su Yu didn't take it seriously and changed the subject: "Yang Xu, he is also a student of Tianyu like you?"
"Yeah, a perennial second best."
Wang Haoyun said carelessly, "I've suppressed them in the duel class for several years, but it's no problem for me to deal with these scumbags besides Jiang Xiao."
"You're quite good at flattering yourself."
"I'm just telling the truth. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
Wang Haoyun pointed in the direction of Lin You and said, "That kid can't last more than five minutes, do you believe it?"
Su Yu chuckled and said nothing. He knew that Wang Haoyun was probably not talking nonsense.
Although Lin You’s chestnut ball army was very rare in the previous game, it was definitely not very strong in terms of combat power.
Perhaps among this group of players, he has the ability to enter the quarterfinals or even the semi-finals.
But compared with Jiang Xiao or Yang Xu, he is obviously far behind.
Meanwhile, high up in the audience.
Yi Wenye's expression was slightly solemn. According to his understanding, Yang Xu seemed to be the favorite to win this competition. Facing such an opponent, Lin You was most likely doomed.
Therefore, he did not answer the question that Yi Zhiqing had just asked about the strength comparison between Lin You and Yang Xu.
But even if he didn't say it, seeing the audience in the live broadcast room posting comments like "Brother Lin You is in danger" and "You're screwed", Yi Zhiqing knew that Lin You was probably in trouble this time.
She looked at the duel arena nervously, silently cheering Lin You on in her heart.
No matter you win or lose, as long as there are no regrets!
"The duel begins!"
Amidst everyone's anticipation, the supervisor suddenly gave an order.
The moment the command reached his ears, Lin You's eyes sharpened.
I heard that the opponent is very strong?
I heard they are still the favorites to win?
Can't defeat yourself?
Let’s do it!
"Coolie~"
The chestnut ball appeared on the field in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, a dark blue light surged, and Lin You began to pour out his magic power madly.
100 points of magic power were lost at this moment.
A powerful wind pressure suddenly swept across the entire venue.
The chestnut ball inside suddenly shattered.
"roar!"
The devilish roar of the beast continued to resound, and violent energy fluctuations emerged.
A few seconds later.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd——
A monster named Baphomet has arrived!
