Chapter 167 The group stage is over!Preview of the knockout round!
In the end, it was only under Lin Tianfan's comfort that Yin Chujiu calmed down his emotions.

Finally, under Lin Tianfan's suggestion, Yin Chujiu decided to ask the bald donkey in her mouth for advice during the two days off before the start of the second round of the group stage to see if there was any good way.

In the remaining five matches in the next first round, Lin Tianfan won a complete victory.

On the other hand, Yin Chujiu had one defeat and four victories, temporarily ranking third in the group with five points. The two people ahead of her were No.1 Wushen and Nie Yuan, who defeated Yin Chujiu but lost to Wushen.

On the other side, Zhang Wenhao also won a complete victory in Group B, and Wu Wangwei on the other side also did the same. Naturally, Xiang Zhuang also won.

Then, before the start of the second round of the group stage, all the players got two days to rest and adjust.

During these two days, Lin Tianfan and Yin Chujiu also went to visit the little monk Wushen, and discussed with this orthodox disciple of Shaolin Temple how to deal with those Pokémon who mastered martial arts routines.

From Wushen, Lin Tianfan learned that at their stage, these Pokémon were not able to fully display the power of the martial arts they had learned. In this stage, more of them actually mastered the skills of exerting force, which can exert greater power of moves and increase the balance and stability of Pokémon itself.

And Wushen is a step further than the Pokémon in the hands of these guys. The Pokémon in his hand can use the bonus of martial arts to make continuous moves more coherently, seize the opponent's flaws, and use this opportunity. Just like playing a set of moves in a fighting game, directly beat the opponent to the point of losing their fighting ability and win the battle.

Then, Lin Tianfan and Yin Chujiu, who have been here for two days, also learned that the best way to face these Pokémon is to keep a distance, and keep this distance and constantly use long-range skills to consume them, and then send a killing blow to the opponent's Pokémon at the right time, and the speed of resolving the battle must be fast.

Afterwards, Lin Tianfan and Yin Chujiu practiced against the Pokémon in Wushen's hands respectively.

The effect is still good, especially Yin Chujiu can still face Wushen with a good effect by virtue of her good special attack strength of the Fire Rock Mouse and the good double defense and durability of the Ivy Snake in her hand.

But for Lin Tianfan's side, after considering the situation of his Pokémon, Lin Tianfan felt that if the Blue Crocodile faced such an opponent, it could actually rely on the water jet move to deal with the opponent, and it also achieved very good results when fighting Wushen's Pokémon.

After the sparring, Lin Tianfan discussed with Wushen if he could teach him some Shaolin Temple martial arts skills.

But this guy Wushen refused, because he has no right to teach others martial arts, but this guy Wushen said again, in fact, if you really want to learn, you can come to our Shaolin Temple.

For this result, Lin Tianfan was not disappointed, because this was something passed down from others, and Wushen did not directly reject it, and there was still a very good chance.

The two days passed quickly, and the second round of the group stage will soon start again.

The second round of the competition was still the same as the first round, with no major changes. Guys like Zhang Wenhao, Wu Wangwei, and Xiang Zhuang were still very strong and had never lost a game. Some trainers even sometimes couldn’t even see their second Pokémon. This made some people see the difference in the world.

And there are also some guys who didn't have much popularity before the competition, but in the group stage, they forcibly showed their popularity.

Lin Tianfan was one of them, and there was also Wushen, and there were a few other people who also ranked first in the group, or were in the top four of the group, which attracted Lin Tianfan's attention.

For example, Bao Yu in Group D. The grass-type Pokémon in this guy's hands are very powerful. He lost one game in the group stage, and he lost in the first round. When he faced that opponent again in the second round, he won.

Lin Tianfan looked back and checked this guy's information, and found that this guy actually came from Senmao Gymnasium, a well-known public gymnasium officially recognized by the alliance, and he was also the successor appointed by the owner of the gymnasium.

There are a total of five Pokémon in his hand - Froggrass, Tropical Dragon, Snow Hat Monster, and a Feather Owl (an evolution of Wood Owl).

In short, this is the opponent that Lin Tianfan doesn't want to meet now, because it is a bit powerful for Lin Tianfan's lineup, and this guy has not lost twice in front of the same opponent, this guy's ability to learn and adjust is really a bit powerful.

In short, the group stage is considered to be over at this time, except for some groups that will play extra matches, it is basically over.

Since the player's information is considered semi-public, there is still some influence in the real world.

And this time the battle competition is under the supervision of the official alliance. All the players are basically novice trainers who have been in contact with Pokémon for less than a year, and all Pokémon are basically trained by Lin Tianfan and other novice trainers.

Before the start of the top 32, the tournament organizing committee also gave the players three days off, plus the days of additional matches, some players like Lin Tianfan, Zhang Wenhao, Wu Wangwei, and Xiang Zhuang, who had already determined their group rankings, had two more days of rest. If calculated this way, there would be a total of five days.

And Lin Tianfan also got the ranking list of each group in the group stage (ranking from high to low):

Group A: Wu Wangwei, Zhao Ruolan, Du Ke, An Lan

Group B: Zhang Wenhao, Lei Yu, Wei Shen, Yao Zhi

Group C: Wu Shen, Nie Yuan, Yin Chujiu, Gu He

Group D: Bao Yu, Lu An'an, Weng Anqi, Bi Fu

Group E: Xiang Liang, Bei Kechuan, Di Lu, Song Hexing
Group F: Lin Tianfan, Tang Yipin, Meng Qi, Mitty

Group G: Su Xiaoxiao, Ge Da, Kong Mao, Sun Xing

Group H: Xiang Zhuang, Ma Shuang, Ming Sen, Wang Fan

The subsequent duel will be determined by drawing lots after the playoffs.

The final result was that Lin Tianfan had drawn a fairly good opponent - Gu He, who was also a child of a fighting family, of course not as powerful as Wu Shen.

Afterwards, the official media of the league thought it was not lively enough, and the group of old men and old women in the official Middle-earth League actually asked their official media to interview these advanced players.

Lin Tianfan naturally did not escape.

"Contestant Lin Tianfan, we all know that you won the first place in the group. What do you think is your goal in this competition?" A small male reporter with glasses asked Lin Tianfan.

After thinking for a while, Lin Tianfan said: "I have seen the battles in other groups. Everyone is very capable. I can only hope that I can go as far as possible!"

Then the male reporter asked again: "We all know that this match is held under the influence of the U23 World Youth Pokémon Battle Contest, so Lin Tianfan, do you have confidence in yourself to enter the regional team to participate in the 2023 World Youth Championship?"

"I think what I need to do now is to strengthen my own strength, thank you." Lin Tianfan replied.

…………

Afterwards, the male reporter asked a series of questions, and Lin Tianfan answered them with tricks that didn't answer the questions, creating a nonsense literature.

Amid the disappointment on the reporter's face, Lin Tianfan sent the reporter away.

Lin Tianfan showed his extremely mature side, of course, the combined age of Lin Tianfan's two generations is estimated to be older than this male reporter who looks to be in his 30s, so naturally he will not leave any excuses for them.

But others have a completely different style of speaking.

In fact, everyone asked the same questions during the interview, but the way of expression was different, and the order of asking was not the same.

Faced with these questions, this guy Wu Wangwei said: "The goal was to win the championship at that time, although the bonus is only one-third of my monthly living expenses."

There are also a series of words such as "I am selected for the World Youth Championship..." and so on.

Wu Wangwei's interview highlighted "Versailles" and "arrogance", but what can you do, they have strength, and just throwing money at you can kill you.

Zhang Wenhao is much more normal.

"Aim for the championship..." "I came here to train myself..." "I hope to participate in the World Youth Championship..."

…………

As for Xiang Zhuang, he refused the interview at all, and those reporters couldn't even find him.

And some of the other contestants answered almost as soon as they asked, and they also showed a youthful vigor in their words.

After all, we are all young, aren't we?

…………

With the continuous turmoil and hype from the tournament officials and the league, some self-media on the Internet have also started to gossip, and even some spinach platforms have opened their doors, and the popularity is not low.

Some so-called professionals even conducted a wave of analysis on this, predicting who will win the championship in the end.

Wu Wangwei, who was originally popular on the Internet because he often changed girlfriends, dared to bombard various stars, professional trainers and treasurers, and was also a top rich second generation, gained a lot of fans after showing his strength.

Naturally, they also promoted Wu Wangwei.

But soon, he was ridiculed by a well-known dragon attribute trainer: "A rich second generation who knows how to play with women can achieve anything! The strength of Pokémon is piled up with money! My command level is sloppy! I am also the champion! The elimination of the top 32 is almost the same! Zhang Wenhao is still the best! You need Pokémon to have Pokémon! You need to command and command! Look! This is the trainer!"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes! You are just jealous of his wealth! This guy Zhang Wenhao still relies on his connections in the family! Otherwise, where did the dragon-type Pokémon come from!"

"It turned out to be the last player in the super ball class! What did I say! Such a poor understanding of the battle! It turned out to be a super ball class player! That's okay!"

"He's a super ball! What about you! Your Pokémon won't be the 50 yuan carp king on the side of the road, will it?"

"The per capita master ball level on the Internet!"

"Ah yes yes yes!"

"Wu Wangwei is not as good as Zhang Wenhao! In my opinion, this guy is the middle of the top 32!"

"This is not enough! At least the top three have it!"

"Hehe...he's just a playboy! Jinyu is out and about!"

"You you on the line!"

"You go for the classics! Why don't you go!"

…………

So the fans on both sides also tore up.

And because the dragon-attribute Pokémon One is a representative of powerful strength, Zhang Wenhao also has many fans.

Of course, there are even some professional Pokémon trainers who speak out for the players they are optimistic about.

For example, a high-level ball trainer named Fei Lei spoke for Su Xiaoxiao, and Su Xiaoxiao, a female novice trainer, also has a lot of male fans because of her good looks.

Looking at the hustle and bustle on the Internet, Lin Tianfan's popularity is relatively deserted. As for the reason, it is because Lin Tianfan's group is generally considered to be the weakest among the eight groups.

On the contrary, although Yin Chujiu came out as the third place in the group, her super good looks also gained the attention of a large number of fans.

Lin Tianfan was naturally heartbroken by this news. He never thought that this world is still a world of appearances, where beauty is justice!
But Lin Tianfan felt that he was not bad looking, why didn't any female fans fall in love with him?This made Lin Tianfan depressed for a long time.

However, Lin Tianfan was fortunate that Yin Chujiu was his girlfriend, hehe, he asked those male fans of Yin Chujiu if they were angry!hey-hey!

What's even more outrageous is that among the players eliminated this time, some of the trainers were from well-known universities and gymnasiums.

For example, a trainer from a well-known insect-type gymnasium won a group match, but the opponent misremembered the time and didn't feel it. The victory was won by the referee.

It can only be blamed on his bad luck.

There were also well-known colleges and universities famous for their Baoyujia major who boasted how strong their students were before the competition. As a result, the group came fourth and almost failed to qualify, which also made Lin Tianfan feel a little funny.

The group stage is over, and the next step is the knockout stage.

The knockout round is a decisive game, very cruel, but Lin Tianfan is still very confident.

In his words, if you think you will lose before you fight, then you will lose.
