Draw a card? Sorry, I can see through

"Isn't it made public this time?" Fu Ming asked in surprise.

In the first round, everything was public and open.

"There shouldn't be much time for the draw, so it doesn't make sense to open it up to the audience, but with these media here, it can be considered open." Zhuge Yu explained with a slight smile.

These were all guesses based on his previous performances.

"Isn't this open in the past few years?" Fu Ming thought for a while. In the past few years, no matter what round the competition was, the draw was open, but this year it is not.

"It can only mean that your conscience has discovered it, and you still charge other people's tickets for such a short time." Yu Qiu started to complain directly. She had wanted to complain about this matter before.

It's really shameless to let the audience buy tickets to watch the show at such a short time.

However, no matter how much they complain, the process that others should continue continues.

"Hello, please come with me." Soon, a staff member wearing a work badge came towards Yu Youyi and the others, stopped in front of the team leader, Director Li, and said.

Director Li raised his feet to keep up with the staff member, and Yu Youyi and the others also followed.

Together they stood in the position that belonged to their team.

After everyone arrived, the leader came out.

"The first round of competition is over. No matter you win or lose, you are already very good. Please applaud yourselves!" The leader stood in front and gave an impassioned speech while clapping his hands.

Although the others felt a little embarrassed, they still clapped together.

But there were some lively people inside, who clapped their hands happily, their faces full of honor and pride.

"Then with the end of our first round, 13 teams have advanced, and we will draw lottery tickets for the second round. One of the teams will have a bye. Please be prepared." Wait for the applause to end. , the leader on the stage continued to deliver his speech.

After the first round, not surprisingly, the opponents for the second round were drawn.

There were twenty-six teams participating in the competition for the first time. After thirteen games, thirteen teams advanced.

In the second round, thirteen was promoted to seven.

This is something everyone is mentally prepared for.

"Representatives from each team are invited to come out and draw their opponents for the second round." The leader on the stage continued, solemnly announcing the start of the second round draw.

A small box appeared on the field. The small box looked ordinary on the outside and contained some number plates.

Just like in the first round, whoever draws the same number is the opponent.

Yu Youyi stood up and walked forward. She was still going to draw lots as the captain.

Not only her, but several other captains from other countries who qualified also quickly stepped forward to select their opponents.

Many of them were members of the national team that she was familiar with, such as the team leader from Sakura Country, Princess Doreen from the United States, and the team leader from Eagle Country.

But after the leader of the Eagle Kingdom saw Yu Youyi, his eyes visibly moved.

He seemed to have something to say to Yu Youyi, but he stopped talking and did not continue to speak.

He must have seen the Mother Goddess standing at the end of the line.

After all...his mark was erased by this person.

The Mother Goddess didn't even look at him, but continued to stare closely at her master. At this time, nothing was more important than his master.

Yu Youyi felt the malicious glances from all around, but she was not afraid at all. Instead, she smiled even more openly because there were many people behind her.

She walked forward quickly, and this time, she drew lots in order.

Yu Youyi stretched out her hand and touched through the narrow hole in the box. Soon, she felt her hand touch a round thing. She grabbed it and took it out.

The ball was wrapped in the palm of her hand, and the numbers marked on it could not be seen clearly.

The other people have almost finished smoking, and everyone is holding the ball in their hands without opening it.

They are either nervous or excited, confused and uneasy about the future, and even a little bit excited.

Under the influence of these people, Yu Youyi couldn't help but feel nervous and slowly opened her hands.

The number above is 5, which is a relatively low number.

At this time, other people's numbers were also opened. The Eagle Country was 3, the American Country was 2, and the Sakura Country was 4.

They staggered again and did not touch each other.

Yu Youyi didn't know what they were thinking, but she didn't care. Who was she fighting anyway?

After everyone opened the numbers on their palms, they were also displayed on the top screen.

The country that has a bye is also a relatively strong opponent. They are called the Bear Country.

There was some dissatisfaction on their faces. Yu Youyi had long heard that the people in the Mao Xiong Country were warlike. They were a little skeptical before, but now they completely believe it.

The name of the country they drew was Astoria.

And the moment she saw Astoria, information about them began to appear in her mind.

Astoria is a country located on ice and snow. Due to magic, their country is covered with ice and snow all year round. No matter when you go, you can see pure white snowflakes and snow-capped scenes.

They use magic to freeze the snow and create an ice and snow world for tourists to visit.

The scenic spot there is also a favorite place for many people to go, but the fire magic elementalists don't like it because it's too cold.

Due to its location on a glacier, Astoria's temperatures remain low year-round.

And because of these special magics, almost all the citizens of Astoria are ice magicians.

Or water magic, but always related to the magic over there.

They are very good at ice magic.

Yu Youyi met the eyes of the captain of Astoria. The captain was a man with deep eyes and handsome features. He was wearing a uniform with the national flag of Astoria and embroidered with some Snowflake style.

It can be seen that he is a citizen of Astoria.

Yu Youyi's eyes were calm, and he didn't feel guilty about being caught peeking at others.

Meeting Yu Youyi's calm gaze made Astoria's team leader a little stunned.

"Is it actually the Hua Kingdom..." He did not avoid Yu Youyi's gaze. After all, a loser never loses. Even though he was a little afraid of this powerful country, he would not give in easily.

But Yu Youyi quickly withdrew his gaze. There was no expression on the other person's face. Yu Youyi couldn't tell what the other person was thinking, so he simply stopped looking at the other person.
