    Unnamed Chapter

    The top three teams are WS, GY, and CS.

    “Let fate decide.” Cen Xi spun his pen, looking at the rankings above, “Zhu Zi, we choose our opponents tomorrow, right?”

    “Yeah.” Zhu Zi looked at Cen Xi and smiled, seemingly earnestly saying, “If it’s fate, then so be it. If it’s destiny, then so be it. Anyway, you’ll hold it together.”

    This was Zhu Zi’s confidence in Cen Xi’s skills. Everyone knew about Xi Shen’s past record of taking on four opponents single-handedly and ultimately securing victory for SY in the finals.

    “Don’t flatter me.”

    Cen Xi threw the pen to Zhu Zi, who caught it smoothly. “Get serious. Alright, let’s get down to business. Let’s have a small meeting based on our recent training to see what areas need adjustment. After the meeting, we’ll start today’s training.”

    “Yan Yan, let’s start with your training plan…”

    ………

    “Captain! You’re inhuman!” After the meeting, Wu Xinming complained miserably to Luo Yan. Luo Yan had once again increased his training intensity during the meeting. Wu Xinming and Qing Lu, who held the same position as Luo Yan, had some new training plans added by Zhu Zi with Luo Yan’s training intensity as a reference.

    “Xinming, we’re aiming for first place. If we don’t train now, when will we? A moment of pain for an achievement, isn’t it great?” Luo Yan patted Wu Xinming’s shoulder earnestly, then turned to look at Qing Lu. “Qing Lu, work hard and try to kick him to the bench.”

    “Ah… okay.” Qing Lu, inexplicably brought into the conversation, replied in a daze.

    “I think you can do it too.” Wu Xinshen added from the side, “Although my brother’s strength is indeed not bad, I have more faith in your strength.”

    “No, no, bro, are you turning your elbow outwards?” Wu Xinming looked at Wu Xinshen in disbelief. Is he already prioritizing love over his brother?

    Wu Xinshen took a sip of water calmly. “How am I turning it outwards?”

    “Indeed not, a boyfriend is family, not an outsider.” Cen Xi joined the conversation, putting his arm around Luo Yan’s shoulders as he spoke. Luo Yan wiggled, finding a comfortable position to lean on Cen Xi.

    “Two pairs of lovebirds!!!”

    A cry from the depths of Wu Xinming’s heart.

    “Luo Yan, Cen Xi, Wu Xinming, Wu Xinshen, Qing Lu! Training!”

    Zhu Zi, working in the meeting room, urged them.

    “Okay, Brother Zhu Zi!” Luo Yan replied on behalf of all the SY team members, then smiled and looked at everyone, beginning to fulfill his duties as captain. “Alright, shut your mouths, return to your seats, turn on your computers, and complete today’s training plan.”

    The sun outside the window was blazing, and sunlight streamed into the room through the windows. The five teenagers looked at their computers with serious expressions. Since it was all solo training now, only the clatter of keyboards remained in the room.

    The five teenagers were approaching their goals step by step.

    “Welcome everyone to the ZD third round of the competition. Before the official match, please welcome the captains of each team to the stage!”

    The ZD third round competition took a quick-battle approach, with two competition venues. Viewers could switch venues to watch the matches of the teams they supported.

    Best of three games, with the match length randomly determined by the system. The competition lasts for three days. On the first day, teams compete in pairs to determine the winners and losers brackets. On the second day, the winners and losers brackets draw bye numbers. Teams that do not draw a bye number compete in pairs. The losing team draws lots to compete against the bye team. The winning two teams can directly enter the top three competition in the two groups (1st, 2nd, 3rd place and 5th, 6th, 7th place).

    Although the bye team doesn’t have to participate in the first round of the second day, they have to compete the most times. In this tense competition, no one wants to draw a bye.

    “Shi Shi, please choose your opponent on behalf of your team, WS.”

    Due to the tense competition, the host went straight to the point without any pleasantries.

    “FOB, we caught turtles from their team yesterday.”

    “Di Wei, please choose your opponent on behalf of your team, GY.”

    “LOF.”

    The whole audience burst into an uproar. The fans of GY and LOF had some minor grudges recently, and GY’s choice catered to the fans’ wishes.

    “Shi Hua, please choose your opponent on behalf of your team, CS.”

    Shi Hua picked up the microphone and looked at Luo Yan. “Although I really wanted to choose SY, after all, we lost the previous few matches, but, let’s follow the rules that everyone internally adheres to. I believe we and SY can meet at the top.”

    The rule that everyone internally adheres to is that the top five teams play against the bottom five.

    “We choose EST.”

    “Ahhhhhhhh!”

    The words “meet at the top” successfully ignited the enthusiasm of the whole audience.

    “Team Hua, what a ‘meet at the top’.” The host finally wasn’t just going through the motions emotionlessly. “Luo Yan, do you have anything to say in response to Shi Hua?”

    Luo Yan picked up the microphone, smiled at Shi Hua, and looked at the audience. “Let’s go through the process first, we want to play RG.”

    “Regarding Team Hua’s ‘meet at the top,’ I want to say that SY will definitely reach the top. Our goal is to participate in this year’s World Championship!”

    The World Championship is only qualified for by the top two teams in the country.

    “Team Hua, work hard, let’s meet at the World Championship?”

    The summit in SY’s heart is not just the domestic championship, the domestic championship is just their new starting point.

    “Of course.” Shi Hua nodded.

    “Team Hua, Team Yan, are you not treating us like people?” Shi Shi said provocatively, looking at the crowd on the stage with a smile, hiding a knife in her smile. “WS has never fallen from the domestic summit.”

    Before the competition even started, the air was thick with tension.

    The battle song started, and the third round of the competition officially began!
