The person in charge never expected to have the chance to say such a thing.
Any Beast Taming competition has a death quota, but it depends on the scale of the competition and the level of the participants. ƒreewebɳovel.com
The death quota also has a specified limit. Once the limit is exceeded, the Alliance will hold the organizing committee accountable, believing they did not handle the relationship between the participants well.
After all, a competition is not a slaughterhouse.
No matter what level it reaches, the policy and principle of all Beast Taming competitions are “Friendship First, Competition Second.”
Too many casualties, after all, are not conducive to harmony.
So the Blue Sun Cup only has four death quotas.
In previous years, they didn't use a single quota. Now, before the competition is even halfway over, half of the quota has already been used.
It was unbelievable.
Mingxi also understood the organizing committee's difficulties.
“As long as certain people don't actively seek death, I won't go for the kill.”
But if someone sought their own death, she wouldn't be polite either.
So she couldn't guarantee that she would absolutely not use another death quota, as their relationship with Xiao Li Country and Yinhe Country was already very bad.
Now there were also Sri Aus and the British Empire.
The person in charge also heard her unspoken words.
He could only sigh and say, “Alright, I will convey your message to the national teams.”
After sending off the person in charge, with nothing much to do, Mingxi monitored the progress of her other teammates' matches while entering study mode.
She hadn't forgotten her identity as a high school student.
If she were to take the liberal arts exam next year, she would only have one year left to study.
If she didn't go through special recruitment, this year of study time would become incredibly precious, so she never slacked off on her cultural subject studies.
Moreover, to help her keep up with her studies, Chen Haiyan and other subject teachers had assigned her a lot of homework.
“Only at times like this do I feel like Ming Shen is a little sister,” Xia Zhizhi said, covering her mouth and chuckling as she watched Mingxi buried in her homework.
Shen Yan also smiled, “Actually, watching her do homework is quite amusing. One moment she's decisive and ruthless, the next she's like a crying little chick doing homework.”
“When has Captain ever cried?” Liu Bai quietly retorted, “Our Captain is capable of bringing peace to the world with a pen and conquering the land on horseback! Overwhelmingly powerful!”
“Liu Bai, you bootlicker, get out of here!”
“I think you're jealous that I'm the Captain's favorite!”
“You have no favorite.”
“...”
Facing the noisy environment, Mingxi was like an old monk in meditation, completely unaffected.
She heard nothing of what was happening around her, only focusing on her studies.
However, she did notice Yu Xuantong's sudden busyness. That day, she received visits from at least six national Team Leaders.
Yu Xuantong smiled wryly: “It seems Emerald Green's move this time had an unexpectedly good effect. Even Da Sili Country, which is usually so eccentric, has softened up. They actually came to me voluntarily and even gave us twelve Resentment Fruits.”
Resentment Fruit is a dark-attribute energy fruit. Ghost-type Transcendent creatures that consume it can not only enhance their perception of negative emotions but also strengthen their energy.
Resentment Fruit is a specialty of Da Sili Country because only the environment of Da Sili can cultivate Resentment Fruit.
“Mingxi, although the other party said these twelve Resentment Fruits were for our team, anyone with eyes can see that they were given out of respect for you and Emerald Green.”
Yu Xuantong took out a box and placed it in front of Mingxi, “So you distribute these Resentment Fruits.”
Mingxi didn't decline.
Because the twelve Resentment Fruits were easy to distribute.
Only six of their team members had contracted Ghost-type Transcendent creatures, so two Resentment Fruits per person would suffice.
Everyone didn't stand on ceremony either.
“This time, we definitely benefited from the Captain. Resentment Fruit has always only circulated within Da Sili, and it's not only expensive but also troublesome for foreigners to buy.”
“Da Sili Country probably doesn't want their match against Ming Shen to follow in Harry Robert's footsteps, which is why they were so generous in giving these ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) twelve Resentment Fruits. They're quite sensible. Hehehe.”
“I always thought Da Sili Country people were either crazy or eerily gloomy. I didn't expect them to understand social etiquette?”
“Anyway, thank you, Ming Shen.”
“Yes, thank you, Captain.”
“Captain is mighty!”
Mingxi looked up, “Don't think that by flattering me, I'll forget the fact that you lost your matches today.”
Unlike yesterday, today's results were not ideal.
The individual matches almost ‘collapsed completely’. Even Lu Yun Shen, due to some minor mistakes, ultimately lost 1:2 to Lina Milne, the Captain from Xiao Li Country.
Fortunately, it was a round-robin group stage, so losing one match wouldn't affect their final qualification.
And the most crucial part today was actually the team competition.
17 into 9.
One team from Sri Aus was lucky enough to draw a bye today.
And Dragonflower Country's team competition results this year were exceptionally outstanding; they secured five spots in the top 17.
Yes.
All five of Dragonflower Country's teams successfully entered the top seventeen, making them the best-performing country in the team competition track of this Blue Sun Cup, without a doubt.
However, going from 17 to 9 was not so smooth.
Xu Jiu and He Changming's two teams both encountered tricky opponents.
Both were eliminated.
Although they were eliminated, with their opponents being far stronger than them, they still contributed two brilliant matches with their tacit cooperation and exquisite tactics.
Even though they failed, they still received recognition and praise from the audience.
And Lu Yun Shen and Jia Xiaoxiao performed very steadily, successfully entering the top nine.
Most unexpectedly, Zhao Qi's team was matched against Tanzan's second strongest team.
Although the overall strength of this team didn't reach the first tier, it was definitely one of the top contenders in the second tier.
And Zhao Qi's trio was recognized as the weakest team among the top 17.
But it was precisely this weakest team that contributed the most exciting underdog victory in a team match today for the audience.
And the key to their victory lay in Zhao Qi, the most inconspicuous Captain, whose brilliant, almost artistic, tactical arrangements turned the tide of the battle.
Xu Jiu sighed, “Ming Shen's foresight is truly amazing.”
Jia Xiaoxiao also said, “If Zhao Qi's individual strength improves, his future achievements probably won't be worse than a certain Lu.”
She said, looking at the man beside her. freёweɓnovel.com
“What do you say, a certain Lu?”
Lu Yun Shen's eyes were smiling, and he wasn't angry because of Jia Xiaoxiao's provocation.
“You're absolutely right. In terms of tactical deployment, even if I train for another ten years, I might not be as good as Zhao Qi.”
He wouldn't belittle himself, but he also wouldn't be unable to tolerate the strength of others.
His mind wasn't so narrow-minded.
