Elemental card king

The national team of 8 people and the 27-member coaching team were all present.

After some notification, all the members started to set off.

The way to travel this time was not to choose to travel by plane, but to choose the way of large-scale space teleportation.

"Let's go!"

Vice President Yao Yi, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, was simply a fairy. He waved his robe, and an eight-star card [Xianyou Bafang] appeared in his right hand.

The outline of the card edge was black.

The card surface was a landscape painting like a fairyland, and the ink-faded Bagua map was embedded in it.

When it was activated.

A misty cloud full of fairy spirit completely swirled around, and a Bagua formation map covering a large area appeared under everyone's feet.

"Everyone, pay attention, you may feel a little dizzy."

After the intimate reminder, Yao Yi immediately activated this large-scale space teleportation.

Buzz!

A surge of space fluctuations also engulfed the figures of everyone, and began to teleport to the distant "Water Country" Florence, which was 30,000 kilometers away.

After an unknown number of seconds, when everyone's eyes regained their sight, they saw that the surroundings were no longer the quaint Wuwang Pavilion, but a blue sky and sea with rippling waves.

Looking around, the main buildings of the city stood tall on the vast blue waves.

On the water, water summoned beasts of various shapes occasionally swam leisurely, playing under the bridge piers or jumping out of the water, sprinkling pieces of shining water droplets.

"Welcome to Florence, the water city." A gentleman in a suit took off his top hat and bowed forward in an extremely elegant gesture.

Large-scale teleportation must always be notified in advance, otherwise it will trigger local threat identification, thereby brewing unnecessary diplomatic troubles.

After a round of greetings, the local organizers of the first round of the preliminaries began to lead the group of people from Xuanhuang Country to the accommodation.

Dong!

The clock tower sounded the hourly time.

"What a beautiful water city."

Everyone took a water boat to travel through the city's waterways. The buildings in the water city cleverly blended classical and futuristic styles. Many historical old buildings were covered with dynamic light curtains, which could change their appearance according to time, weather or festivals.

Not only that.

The artistic atmosphere was extremely strong.

There were people painting and performing on the pier, playing accordions, and bands performing. A bunch of sea otters on the waterside clapped and applauded.

"The water city was one of the main outbreaks of the humanistic return trend back then." Xia He introduced to Su Chen.

"The source of all evil, philosophy, can a brush or accordion kill the enemy? It's simply castrating martial virtue." Cao Zheng was quite disdainful of this.

At the moment.

Big Bradley, who has his own school of painting skills, was even ridiculed.

The atmosphere also changed with the world situation.

All kinds of interest classes that could not be linked to actual card combat have ushered in a wave of closures.

Not long after.

They arrived at the five-star Orion Hotel.

This is a magnificent palace in typical Baroque style, with rivers interweaving around it, creating a classic water palace atmosphere.

"You have to stay for 12 days."

Although there are only five team matches in the first round of the preliminaries, there are some individual matches interspersed among them, which may involve 54 national teams from the entire Pangu Continent, making the entire schedule a little long.

Fortunately, the accommodation hotel also provides personal meditation rooms to ensure that the players have sufficient practice time on non-match days.

"Unfortunately, other national teams are unwilling to play exchange matches before the game." A teacher who arrived at the venue a few days ago also informed a piece of news after the reunion.

"It seems that no one wants to expose their strength and leak information in advance."

Pei Xingwei is the most worried in the team.

In Cao Zheng's view, this sturdy man with a physique of nearly two meters has a girl's heart.

However.

Duan Lianqing, a special researcher who went with the team, has already analyzed the other five teams in the group.

"Most countries are not as vast as our Xuanhuang country, especially some countries have very obvious national characteristic card groups. Through trade protection barriers, some card materials are only circulated locally."

Through AI analysis and big data capture, we can get a glimpse of the situation.

"Like Florence, it is a typical example of using water cards to the extreme."

"The Papal States in the group will have very powerful order card groups and judgment knight tactics."

"And the Alfonso Kingdom, which we will face in the first battle, has a large area. To be honest, I can only find their national championship interview through online information search, and he is still a noble."

Duan Lianqing also said truthfully.

After all, the actual combat competitions in most countries are closed. In the absence of any video recording, we can only rely on the stupid method of online interviews.

And the Alfonso Kingdom, the absolute overlord of the western frontier of Pangu Continent in the past, took the lead in forming a legendary invincible fleet in the early days of the Revival Era and started the first expedition to the extraterritorial plane.

At the same time

Everyone had to face a piece of bad news. Xuanhuang State was assigned to Group A, and they would fight the first opening match of the competition.

Because the competition venue was closed, players were not allowed to enter before the competition, so everyone could only familiarize themselves with the environment by looking at the 3D preview map.

"When the enemy comes, we will fight him. When the water comes, we will block it with earth. No matter what it is." Cao Zheng still looked very morale-filled.

Su Chen has already looked at the first intelligence handed over, mainly the singles champion of the Kingdom of Alfonso.

Ovi Emerson, Tarot deck, card master talent is "Lord of Mysteries", currently can give two kinds of secret changes to contract cards, "repeat" and "resonance".

The former can make the released card effective again, for example, he can summon the summon card twice at a time.

The latter can form a subtle resonance between the released contracts, achieving a certain synchronous amplification effect.

"This guy's life experience is really legendary." Qi Hanhai also searched for the other party's information on the Internet.

"Duke Emerson's line was about to be declared extinct, but he managed to find a cousin in the family tree and let this distant orphan inherit the title of Duke."

He, the son of a thousand-year-old Jiangnan family, couldn't help but sigh: "Not only that, the other party's talent is blank in the past card history. It is a brand-new talent that has just been born, and he is the only one who has mastered it now."

The talent of card masters is also increasing day by day. In the current glorious era alone, tens of thousands of different talents have been born compared to the previous era.

Even if there were no geneticists in the past, it is generally agreed that a child's card master talent is largely related to the talent of the parents and the contract card deck.

Affected by the new contract card deck, the talent of the newborn child is also likely to mutate.

For those who have unprecedented card master talents and have the potential to impact the legendary realm or above, the outside world has given them a respected title-"Talent Navigator".

This is not only to affirm their unique and pioneering genetic contributions, but also to look forward to their exploration of the unknown.

This is indeed unusual, after all, most of the first-level talents may not be able to reach the legendary card master in the end.

"I heard that the alliance will also have special subsidies for 'navigators'." Qi Hanhai asked curiously.

"Really."

Duan Lianqing smiled: "After all, the new gene lottery is still worthy of the alliance's attention."

"Damn, what a winner of life panel." Judge Gao Jun was a little depressed. He was the first player of the former Guodu team and the eighth player of the national team now. He was somewhat resentful in his heart.

In other words.

Their first battle was against a national team led by such a monster.

What's outrageous is that their second battle was against the Papal State, which was not a soft persimmon.

On the contrary, the opponent's routine was extremely disgusting, and they had to be prepared to be silenced on a large scale.

As for the third battle of the team competition, it was against the host. Fighting at home in someone else's waters was naturally not an easy task.

"Only win, no lose."

"Only the top two teams in the group can advance. If we lose two games in a row, we will basically be eliminated in the first round. So, you must be prepared that every team match will be the last one."

Being in the Pan Guai Monster Room, they cannot let their guard down when encountering such a cruel competition system.

Stern Deputy Team Leader Lin emphasized: "The opening match will be the day after tomorrow. Don't think too much about anything in the next two days. Just practice behind closed doors and train in groups. As long as you play normally, you will definitely win."

"You are going to play your first match again." Teacher He Yun couldn't help but smile at the boy next to her.

Su Chen has gotten used to this.

In the national competition, starting from the top 32, basically all the major stages of the elimination match, Su Chen has long been accustomed to playing for the first time.

On the other side.

In the same hotel.

In the lounge where Alfonso's national team is.

They also have a coach who has compiled a list of intelligence information about Xuanhuang Country in advance, all of which are mainly news about the champion of Xuanhuang Country's national competition.

"Ovi, ​​your opponent is an elemental ruler. Although it is rare, it is not as unique as you." A team member said.

"Rarity does not represent strength."

Duke Ovi, with blond hair, seemed very modest: "The next team and individual competitions will have to deal with Su Chen. I have to trouble the teacher to help collect information."

The teacher beside him nodded and said as if he was honored: "You are too kind. It is my duty."

It must be said that Ovi Emerson, who inherited the title at a young age, did not have any arrogant behavior. On the contrary, he was polite and polite to others. In private communication, he did not let people call him the Duke.

This demeanor alone is enough to make people feel like spring breeze and be impressed.

Whether it is the son of a noble family or a civilian genius, everyone is united and there is no barrier.

"This year, we should strive for good results."

The day after tomorrow.

May 3, the weather is sunny.

8 o'clock.

The blue arena, the leading one in the water city, is officially open to the public.

This is a dreamy place of azure blue and crystal, like a bright pearl on the sea, emitting charming brilliance.

Because the stadium had been closed before, no players had the opportunity to explore on the spot, so today, other group players on non-match days also came one after another.

"Why are there ordinary people?" Someone noticed this, because each national team has a formal uniform and wears a player card, and the group of people in plain clothes in front of them even wear spectator cards.

"Wow, there are even people wearing media cards." What's more outrageous is that everyone has also discovered new changes.

Some countries have implemented the ban on underage card actual combat, which is even worse than Xuanhuang State, so most national competitions are held in closed venues and no real-time video recording is allowed.

Nowadays.

Opening the venue to some qualified people and allowing some journalists to enter is a completely new change that has never happened before.

"This is the future pillar of the alliance's military power, so of course we have to promote it positively." Once everyone realized this, they suddenly realized it.

Compared to this minor change, more people care about the battlefield.

"Damn!"

"It's even more outrageous than the 3D terrain preview."

In the center of the venue, the scattered islands are suspended above a vast expanse of water, the sun shines on it, the waves are sparkling, and the surging water vapor is filled in it.

Above this open dome, a screen like a water curtain surrounds the four directions, and the VIP audience stands that are not connected are floating in the air in a weightless suspension.

"There are many places to stay in the water, at least 62 islands of different sizes, but the problem is that the deepest part of the water can reach 350 meters. Once someone dives deep and drags the time to half an hour, this game will be forced to draw."

Many people have realized this.

As the host, Florence, the ‘Water Country’, naturally has a great advantage in the water field. However, how to maintain a draw and get 1 point without facing the opponent has become a very profound knowledge.

Once the situation on the field is not advantageous, how to use the water environment to drag a draw has become a compulsory course for many national teams.

For example, deep diving hide-and-seek, whether relying on water talents or relying on illusions to hide, can make good use of the rules to drag a draw.

At this time.

The members of the Xuanhuang national team have already arrived at the preparation room.

"The opening game must be played beautifully, Su Chen, as an elemental ruler, the water field is also your home field, and as the captain, you should always be ready to lead the team." Deputy Team Leader Lin played the role of a strict teacher as always.

Under this extremely strict attitude, everyone did not show a trace of relaxation.

As shown in the preview, in this opening game, they can only win but not lose.

Because the host team will have a great home advantage in the third game, some teachers who are not blindly optimistic have more or less acquiesced to losing in their hearts after evaluating the venue.

In this death group, losing two games will inevitably mean leaving the first round of qualifiers.

"If I lose, I will swim back to Xuanhuang Country directly from Xinghan Sea." Cao Zheng threw out a harsh word on the spot.

"I have eaten so many national resources, so I will." Pei Xingwei was about to make a righteous speech, but Qi Hanhai and Gao Jun on the side came forward to cover his mouth.

Please, don't say a word with your crow mouth.

Seeing this scene, many people laughed, and the slightly solemn atmosphere was also diluted a lot.

When the time came to 8:20, the organizers came to signal them to start entering the venue. Under the leadership of the captain Su Chen, a group of figures wearing red national team uniforms walked out of the preparation room.
