Chapter 304
A massive battle bracket appeared in midair.
The team competition uses a points system, so each university must face off against nine other universities.
In other words, the team competition will have a total of 45 matches!!
And the schedule for the team competition had long been planned out in advance.
Aside from today, which only has half a day of team competition, the team competition will be held for another seven days.
Every day has three matches in the morning and three in the afternoon.
Among them, a few additional days will be set aside to hold the singles competition.
"This afternoon there are three team matches in total, and none of them involve our Suhang University."
"Our first battle is three days from now—one match in the morning against Jinzhong University, and one in the afternoon against Xixiang University."
Zhou Yi and his group quickly found their own school's match times and opponent universities on the bracket.
Apart from the matches against ordinary universities, the first clash against a top-tier university is five days from now, against Qingjing University......
"The match schedule will be distributed shortly to each team's and each spectator's email."
"Now, the opening ceremony of the exchange tournament is concluded. Please exit in an orderly fashion!"
Unlike football or basketball matches.
A month-long grand finals naturally couldn't keep the spectators sitting in their seats the entire time.
For the upcoming matches, the audience is free to choose whether or not to watch.
The spectators filed out in an orderly manner, while the major universities on the field also began to leave one after another.
Because they were on the Floating Mechanical Island.
To return to the ground, they still needed to take a dedicated flying transport.
Of course, there were plenty of such flying transports, so there was no need to worry about overcrowding.
In fact, the Floating Mechanical Island was similar to a small city—besides the competition venues, there were many other buildings, making it quite bustling.
Those spectators wouldn't be in a hurry to leave; instead, they'd stay and take a look around.
PS: Please send some flowers and votes—monthly tickets and tips would be even better~~~ Ji.
After the opening ceremony ended, Zhou Yi and his group boarded a flying vehicle and returned to the villa district on the ground.
"There are no matches for us this afternoon. You can choose to move about freely, or you can head to the arena to observe other schools' team matches."
In front of the villa, Wu Mang said.
As the team leaders, they would only guarantee the students' safety.
In practice, they wouldn't interfere much with the students' activities.
"This afternoon there are three team matches in total, with four universities participating. I suggest you still go take a look."
Su Mei, who stood to one side, suggested.
Although she had only just taken up the post of instructor at the War Academy not long ago.
Before that, she had already possessed extremely rich battlefield combat experience.
She naturally understood letting these students get more exposure to team matches.
Would absolutely be very beneficial for their future.
"Understood."
Song Xialan and the others gave a slight start, then immediately nodded.
Although Instructor Su Mei was young, she was quite popular within the War Academy.
Her advice could not be ignored.
"Brother Zhou Yi, are you going to the arena this afternoon?"
Jiang Churan asked softly.
She stood right beside Zhou Yi, her figure slender and charming.
A black ponytail tied high up swayed gently in the breeze.
"Mm." Zhou Yi nodded. "Nine-seven-three"
Any professional who wished to climb to the peak would, in the future, almost certainly join a legion or guild.
Going out to battle with the legion to gain leveling experience.
And the battlefield was ever-changing—one careless moment could cost one's life.
Although team matches involved few participants, the tank, support, and DPS positions were all present—it could almost be called a small-scale battlefield.
Such a close-up observation opportunity appearing now was extremely rare.
He couldn't speak for others, but he was definitely going.
"Then let's go together this afternoon."
Jiang Churan's beautiful eyes immediately lit up.
She wouldn't let slip any chance to be alone with Zhou Yi.
"Also, anyone who wants to enter the singles competition, sign up now—don't wait until tonight."
Up ahead, Wu Mang spoke again.
"Huh? Isn't everyone automatically entered in the singles competition?" Liu Yang asked, puzzled.
Unlike the team competition, anyone could enter the singles competition, including substitute members.
"Other schools' delegations have Priest-class professionals—if everyone were automatically entered, wouldn't those Priests just be going up to get beaten?"
"Also, some tank-class professionals with virtually no offensive capability wouldn't sign up to ask for trouble."
With Wu Mang's explanation, Liu Yang suddenly understood.
True enough.
The Grand Finals were broadcast live to the entire world.
Even the families and relatives of many participants would tune in on time.
Under such circumstances, with everyone participating by default, forcibly assigning a healer or tank slot into the solo match—
Getting beaten up would still be fine—after all, which professional hasn't taken a beating?
But having the scene of oneself being beaten one-sidedly broadcast live to the whole world, even seen by one's own family and relatives, was something not everyone could accept.
"Principal, I want to sign up."
Zhou Yi was the first to register.
The system achievement mission would be calculated based on the final overall results of the exchange tournament, so naturally he wouldn't pass up the solo match.
"I want to sign up too!"
"Me as well!"
"..."
After Zhou Yi signed up, Jiang Churan, Song Xialan, and the others also spoke up one after another.
In the end, all ten people chose to enter the solo match.
"Hahaha, good! I'll report all your names up in a bit!"
Wu Mang, seeing this scene, was very satisfied.
Other schools' support and tank slots might still hesitate, but their Suhang University had not a single soft-shelled shrimp!!
On the other side, the team from Han City University had also returned to the ground.
"This afternoon we have one match, our opponents are Jinzhong University."
"Although this is Jinzhong University's first time entering the Grand Finals, their strength cannot be underestimated."
"After lunch, everyone rest well, conserve your energy, and meet our first battle in the best condition!!"
In front of the villa, Zhu Yu's beautiful eyes looked at the students ahead as she urged.
"Understood!"
Everyone nodded solemnly at the same time.
"Good, everyone go eat. We'll assemble back here at 1:30 this afternoon!"
Zhu Yu announced dismissal, and the crowd also scattered in all directions.
