Chapter 1142 - The Matches Start!
Once that was over, Cassia explained, "Numbers one to ten will battle each other in order during the capture the flag matches. The same goes for eleven up to twenty. Then twenty-one up to thirty and so on... That way, you will have one battle against nine random teams. After all, you got your numbers randomly."
Rean then looked at Roan and couldn\'t help but sigh after hearing that. "This is way better than we could expect, don\'t you think?"
Roan nodded in agreement. "This is a good thing. It\'s as Cassia mentioned. It doesn\'t matter if a team has an advantage over another since the Realm of Gods isn\'t fair to start with. The fact that this test plays to our strengths just so happens to fit into this description."
Samanta couldn\'t help but ask after hearing that, "Is there even any test that doesn\'t play to your strengths in this world?"
Rean and Roan looked at Samanta in surprise. "Well... that\'s true."
Samanta felt like crying. They didn\'t even try to deny it."
Suddenly, Rean thought about something. "No, wait! There is! For example, suppose everyone could keep their own cultivation. In that case, Roan and I definitely couldn\'t do much against opponents with high cultivations. See? There are places where we\'re at a disadvantage."
Samanta wanted to give Rean a beating when she heard that. "Fuck you! That\'s a disadvantage, sure. But that\'s cultivation-related. It has nothing to do with personal skills. We\'re talking about similar level situations."
Roan shook his head in response. "That\'s where you\'re wrong. You can\'t expect to get similarly leveled enemies outside."
Milina then patted Samanta\'s shoulder as she consoled her, "Forget it. You will only become angrier the more you force the issue. They live on a different plane."
Regio, on the other hand, was more interested in the groups they would have matches against. "Tacon Country, Yugves Country, Parvin Country, another group from Parvin Country, Holang Country, Klacks Country, Kembit Country, Wasxia Country, and Vilad Country. Those are the five countries that got numbers 92 up to 100. We\'re 91, of course."
Samanta couldn\'t help but ask, "Wait, did you say Holang Country?" Obviously, Holang Country was one of the big powers that usually succeeded with quite a few participants in each recruitment. That\'s why it was easy to spot its group in their bracket.
Roan then looked at the board, which depicted each Holang Country\'s group member. "I heard from the other countries when we arrived that Holang Country\'s leader was a guy called Sinso Zubli, an Elemental Transformation Realm cultivator. His name is not on this list, though."
Samanta and Milina sighed in relief when they heard that. "Good, good! It means their strongest group isn\'t here."
Regio also mentioned the other strong country there. "Don\'t forget about Klacks Country."
"Isn\'t that the country from that Hedoi guy of the Blood Path Sect?" Samanta and Milina asked at the same time. Sure enough, he also caught their attention and the other countries, so they heard much of him.
Rean and Roan then remembered something. "We did meet him once in the Dream City test."
"What do you think of that guy?" Regio asked.
Roan didn\'t think about it. It was as simple as that. As for Rean... "Hmm...he\'s a little tall?"
Little did they know that Hedoi was close to them at that moment and overheard those words with his Divine Sense. \'I\'m... tall? Is that all you think about me? Fuck! If not because of Sect Master and that protection device, I would skin you two alive! No, I would make you skin each other instead!\' While everyone was afraid of him because of his background, the twins looked like they could barely even remember his face.
Samanta pondered in silence for a bit before saying, "Then our biggest obstacle would be Klacks Country as Hedoi\'s name is in the group that will fight against us." Samanta then pointed at the list of names. Hedoi, Gala, Funxi, Qrasclev, and Sumadia. Those were the names there.
"Oh...okay then. If things turn awry, we can simply give up on the battle," Rean said without much concern. "We just need to be in the top 60 teams to guarantee our vacancy, so we might as well focus on the not-so-powerful countries."
Milina then warned the twins. "Ahem...those might not be the top countries...but they sure are bigger and better than a small fry country like our Kamos Kingdom. We shouldn\'t underestimate them."
Roan nodded. "Obviously. I have no intention of holding back anyway."
Cassia then called everyone\'s attention in the waiting room. "As you can see behind me, there are five spatial doors. The groups I call forward should enter the designated ones.
Cassia began to call numbers after that. "Groups number one and ten, spatial door number one. Groups number two and eight, spatial door number two. Groups number three and seven..."
And just like that, the first five capture the flag matches started. It was quite unfortunate that the other competitors couldn\'t see what was happening. Then again, it wasn\'t hard to guess the results of one of the groups as it was the Tenke Country.
Fifteen minutes later, four countries got three points on the scoring board, and Tenke Country took the first position as they finished their match the quickest. There were two matches that ended up in a draw, so they got one point each. As for the last four, they obviously lost, so they continued with zero.
Roan then saw Liana and her team members exiting the spatial door. \'Pure Yin Body, huh? I still haven\'t had the chance to test it.. Guess that won\'t happen anytime soon.\'
