Chapter 156 Time is tight and tasks are heavy
Chu Yi is not the tallest among the contestants going to Paris this time, but he definitely has the best image.

Ji Chen is actually not bad, except that his temperament is a little feminine and his physique is thin. Chu Yi, on the other hand, is quite strong, so he is the perfect person to be the flag bearer.

Perhaps it was because he was so handsome and recognizable, but Chu Yi immediately caused cheers when he appeared in the field of vision of the audience on the roadside. Many people recognized that he was the little hero who saved Huaguo Mountain three years ago.

In fact, Chu Yi is not a child anymore, he will be an adult in two years.

However, when he heard the aunties and sisters on the street shouting at him "little hero" at the top of their lungs, he still couldn't hold it in.

Fortunately, he managed his facial expressions well and did not make any strange expressions in this situation.

As the flag bearer, he now represents the face of China. Apart from smiling or being serious, it is not appropriate for him to have any other expression.

"The team coming towards us now is the Chinese team. The flag bearer is Chu Yi from Class 1, Grade 1 of Wolong Academy. He is one of the few athletes who has obtained direct qualification for the Youth Olympic Games.

Although he did not participate in many competitions during his three years in junior high school, and his personal honors were not as rich as those in elementary school, his strength is definitely unquestionable, and he is the top trump card of the Huaxia team this year!"

Without waiting for the reporter to speak, Lin Siyao took the lead in introducing Chu Yi's identity to the audience.

Although this is quite unprofessional, the audience still likes to watch this, and some even posted comments while showing an auntie smile:

"I can only say eight words: I can't wait and I know everything about it."

"They don't even want to act anymore, they are just showing off their love openly."

"I never thought I would be fed dog food just by watching the Youth Olympic Games. I thought there wouldn't be any mixed doubles matches."

"Showing affection in front of millions of viewers is unique."

"That's normal, actually. Let's talk more about the flag bearer's glorious history. After all, he will be the one to carry the flag for this year's open-ended competition."

"By the way, can any big guys analyze the winning format of this year's championship? Does Chu Yi have a chance to win the championship?"

"Let me put it this way, Chu Yi has never lost a game since he was born."

"This is what it means to be a bully at home. Do you have the guts to go out and have a look?"

"You will soon find out whether Chu Yi is invincible or just a bully."

........................

Wherever Chu Yi is, there are always praises and controversies, but he doesn't see these comments now, and even if he does, he won't care.

Strength is something that is gained through fists; verbal disputes are useless.

Accompanied by the inspiring music, the Chinese team walked through the area with the most camera shots amid cheers. They only needed to walk a few hundred meters to end this unique opening parade.

This opening ceremony actually took much shorter time than other opening ceremonies because there were no singing, dancing or rap performances. All the teams just had to walk along the Seine.

However, since all passers-by can see the contestants up close, the public’s evaluation is still good.

Of course, some people are worried that the opening ceremony is so simple that it may be outdone by the opening ceremony of the next Neon Olympics.

After all, Japan is a big country with a long history, and it has exported a considerable amount of culture to the world.

Especially in the two-dimensional world, it can be said that there are countless and inexhaustible performance materials.

Singing those familiar anime theme songs again and bringing back a wave of nostalgia is invincible.

I can't believe how wonderful the opening ceremony will be after several years of careful preparation by the Japanese. So many people on the Internet belittled the opening ceremony of the Paris Youth Olympic Games for this reason.

But anyway, the opening ceremony was completed very smoothly.

The Destruction Society that everyone was worried about never showed up from beginning to end.

A few thieves and pickpockets were caught in the act.

In the past, when these people committed crimes, they might not encounter anyone chasing them from the time they succeeded to the time they escaped.

This time, as soon as he made a move, he was immediately pinned to the ground by a dozen burly men hiding in the dark, and he shouted "I can't breathe".

Apart from these daring thieves, the Paris police did not gain anything else. They didn't know whether they should be disappointed or relieved.

After the opening ceremony, the competition officially began.

Because there are many events and contestants, the competition schedule is still quite tight even though there is more than a month of competition time.

Take Chu Yi as an example, he signed up for five projects by himself.

They are the martial arts and thunder pet open competitions, the men's singles competition and the open singles competition, as well as the team competition.

In team competitions, men and women are not divided into groups by default, so there are no men's or women's teams.

Almost all of these five events will have to complete their preliminary rounds on the first day, and some will even have two or three rounds.

Although a large number of medical staff, potions and equipment for restoring physical strength have been prepared for this competition, it is still a huge test for the physical reserves of the contestants and their pets.

If you are unlucky and encounter a strong opponent who is equally strong as you in the preliminary round and advance by a tragic victory, then the other events will probably be quite difficult.

In fact, when Chu Yi announced that he would sign up for five projects, quite a number of netizens raised questions.

In the past, athletes who were going to participate in team competitions would only participate in two individual competitions at most, for fear of insufficient physical strength or accidental injuries due to too many competitions.

Chu Yi's answer was: Do I need to worry about not having enough physical strength to fight a few middle school students? If the competition system didn't allow it, I could win the team championship by myself!
Such wild remarks are of course controversial, but Chu Yi feels that he is telling the truth.

Moreover, he had already completed a similar operation once, and it was nothing more than replicating his path to becoming a god.

When he was in primary school, he could score seven goals in a row in every game with his limited physical strength and talent.

Now his talent and skill configuration is already a musket, so theoretically there shouldn't be any difficulty.

It’s just that some truths are really not suitable to be spoken out loud, either because they are too unorthodox or too hurtful.

But in order to win the team competition, Chu Yi decided to continue to fire at full steam in his verbal attacks and hurt his opponent well, so that the opponent would not use the Tian Ji Horse Racing tactic and replace him with the worst player.

Of course, it’s a little too early to say this now.

The preliminary round has just begun. China's first round opponent is a small African country. There is not much pressure. Out of the Olympic spirit, Chu Yi, who might hit too hard, was arranged to be the last one to play.

If nothing unexpected happens, he probably won't be able to play.

This also saved him time, so he simply went directly to the open singles competition.

Unfortunately, his first opponent was a seeded player from the United States.
