Chapter 89 The finals begin

August 8th.

On this day, which is considered very auspicious by the Chinese people, the final of the seventh Chucai Cup finally started as scheduled.

After going through layers of selection, two contestants who stood out from hundreds of thousands of middle school students across the province are about to have the final battle at Jiang City Duel Center.

The final was of great significance. In addition to the leaders of the TV station and the Education Bureau, even the mayor came on stage to give a speech, and it was said that he would personally present awards to the contestants after the game.

Listening to the speech of the leader above, Xia Qing couldn't help but yawn.

Since he was sitting in the first row, the camera would occasionally scan this side, forcing him to sit up straight and force himself to be alert.

The first round is for the junior high school group, and it is not their turn yet.

As the host announced the start of the game, the two teenagers walked onto the duel stage.

One of them was particularly short, with a very childish look on his face, giving people the impression that he was an elementary school student.

The commentator introduced to the audience: "Dongyang, who uses the Xiangjian deck, just turned twelve this year and is the youngest contestant in this competition.

"It was unexpected that he could make it all the way to the finals."

Another commentator said, "His sister is the famous swordsman Dong Xue. He must have received a lot of guidance from her."

The camera swept over Xia Qing's head and landed on the face of a pretty young woman.

The woman nodded slightly towards the camera and gave a professional smile.

"The director gave the camera to Dongxue. She also came to the competition. Is she here to cheer for her brother?"

"This is her first public appearance since her loss in the last competition. It seems that they have a good relationship between siblings."

At this point, the commentator changed the topic: "Come to think of it, during the time when Dongxue didn't participate in the competition, her professional ranking dropped to outside the top 30."

"To be exact, it's 32nd. However, according to the information revealed by her team, Dongxue has been researching a secret weapon recently. I believe she will be able to return to the top soon."

“Then I’m quite looking forward to that day.”

The game officially began as the two commentators chatted.

Xiang Jian vs Hope.

However, the fighting on both sides was a bit abstract.

Moye clearly showed Tai'a, but then "Chixiao" searched for "Xiangjian Anzhuan" and covered the card to end the turn.

If you don't know, you might think that Xiangjian took the "Proliferation G" first.

In front of Chi Xiao, Hope super-produced two 4-star "Hope·Double" cards, activated its own effect and upgraded it, but it was then wiped out by Chi Xiao.

"As expected of the junior high school group."

The corners of Xia Qing's mouth twitched, and his interest in watching the game suddenly dropped a lot.

He couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the girl with long black hair sitting not far away.

The girl named Yunxi is his opponent in the finals.

The other person sat there quietly with a blank expression on his face, giving people the impression that he was not approachable.

But it doesn't look like he would do anything shady.

Xia Qing put the match-fixing issue behind him and focused on the game on the stage again.

Although the elementary school student's sword fighting is very abstract, when they meet evenly matched opponents, their strength is ultimately higher than Hope's.

With the referee's announcement.

In the end, Dongyang won the championship in the junior high school group with a score of 2:0.

There were two young men on the field, one couldn't suppress his inner sadness and burst into tears; the other one looked up with a smug expression.

The host walked onto the stage, looked at the scene awkwardly, and tried to smooth things over: "It seems that contestant Dong Yang is very excited after winning the championship."

Dong Yang raised his eyebrows and said to the microphone handed to him, "To be honest, the opponents in the junior high school group are too weak. They fell down before I even tried my best."

The male host's expression froze when he heard this. He calmly took back the microphone, cleared his throat and said, "Thank you two young contestants for bringing us a wonderful game. The next one to begin is the high school group competition."

The boy who used Hope stumbled off the stage, looking as if his soul had been sucked out of him.

In sharp contrast to this is the arrogant little kid on the other side.

Looking at this scene, Xia Qing suddenly remembered something.

It seems that after the award ceremony, the champions of the junior high school and high school groups will have an exhibition match. "Xia Qing, it's time to go on stage."

Following a reminder from the staff.

Amid the cheers of the audience and the scrutiny of the leaders below, Xia Qing stepped onto the duel stage.

At the front of the audience, a man turned his head to the middle-aged man next to him and asked, "Where did you recruit these students from? It cost a lot of money, didn't it?"

He is middle-aged and probably in his forties. His hairline has moved back and seems to be gradually moving towards the Mediterranean.

He waved his hand, squinted his eyes and smiled: "There's no need to spend money. Others just liked our school and applied voluntarily."

To be honest, when he heard that a student from his school had made it to the finals, he was reluctant to believe it at first. As the principal, he knew very well what the level of his own school was.

Bu Yiyi, the strongest student in the school, with her strength, even with extreme luck, she can only be at the top eight.

But after watching the genuine online videos, he had to believe it even if he didn't want to. There really is SSR that can be delivered to your doorstep.

This made him laugh so hard that he couldn't stop, and he called his old friends and rivals in his address book overnight.

"Lao Zhang, are you free the day after tomorrow? No problem, I just want to invite you to watch a game. I'll arrange the tickets."

"Principal Liu, how have you been recently? I heard that Lu Yiming from your high school participated in some kind of competition. How was the result?"

"Don't curse me, I really don't know about this matter...

"Shit, old Biden."

Although he was scolded, the other party was obviously defeated, and he felt relieved when he heard it.

Looking at the boy on the stage, he promised in his heart: "Come on, bring a championship for our school. If you have any requests in the future, I will arrange them for you."

The silver coin flew in the air and finally landed steadily on the back of the referee's hand.

"Front." The girl said first.

"Then I'll do the opposite."

As the referee's palm moves away, the result is heads up.

Xia Qing secretly thought it was a pity.

The referee extended his arm and announced, "Contestant Yunxi has the right to choose her side, and she chose to go first."

The duel officially begins, and both sides draw five cards from their decks.

"not bad."

Xia Qing glanced at the cards in his hand. There was a hand trap "Xiao Zha" and a "White Saint" for breakthrough.

The girl on the opposite side acted decisively and inserted a magic card into the duel disk right at the start.

"Activate 'Magic Return', select a 'Magic Return' card from your deck, and add it to your hand or send it to the Graveyard.

"I add 'Ice Demon Snow Girl' to my hand."

Yunxi picked out a card from the deck and took a monster from her hand.

"Normal Summon 'Beautiful Demon, Daji'."

[Beautiful Demon·Daji, 2-star adjustment, 1000/0. ]

A beautiful woman wearing a red and white shrine maiden costume and with long purple hair appeared on the scene.

Her eyes were red, and there was a pair of furry ears faintly visible on her head, with nine translucent fox tails swaying behind her.

As for the prototype of the card, it is naturally the famous fox demon in Fengshen, Daji.

"When there is a 'Magic Monster' monster on your field, the 'Snow Girl' you just searched can be Special Summoned."

Yunxi showed the card.

[Ice Demon·Snow Girl, 1 star, 0/1900. ]

A shy little girl in a dark blue kimono jumped into the venue.

"After that, send an Undead monster from your deck to the Graveyard.

"I sent the 'horse-headed ghost' to the cemetery."

This effect is triggered from the hand, so "Effect Masker" has no effect on it.
