Chapter 26 The Worst Class Ever
"Make sure you bring a change of clothes. Fall is here. You might have to wear a jacket tomorrow if you wear a short-sleeved shirt today. Don't catch a cold."
Zhao Yuwei opened her son's luggage bag for the third time to check whether he had brought all the clothes inside.
Chu Yi said helplessly: "Don't worry, Mom, I'm eight years old and I know how to take care of myself."
"What's wrong with being eight years old? Don't want your mother to take care of you at eight years old?"
Zhao Yuwei pouted and pinched her son's cheek, saying softly, "Remember to send a message to let him know you're safe when you get there. If anything happens, call mom and dad as soon as possible."
After saying that, she turned her head and glared at Chu Qingshan, who was lying on the sofa playing with his phone. "What's wrong with you as a father? Your son is going on a long trip, don't you have anything to say?"
"What do you want me to tell you?" Chu Qingshan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Our son is so smart. If he really encounters a problem, he can easily solve it, right, son?"
Chu Yi smiled and made an OK gesture.
"Okay, I'll just blame you for being nosy." Zhao Yuwei angrily zipped up her luggage bag and stopped talking.
"Goodbye, mom."
Chu Yi opened his arms and gave his mother a hug, then walked to the sofa and gave his father a hug.
"After we get to the finals, come and watch me win the championship!"
Chu Yi waved to his parents, turned around and left without looking back.
The couple stood at the door for a long time, and only closed the door reluctantly when their son's back disappeared around the corner...
As one of the best schools in the province, Donghai No. 1 Primary School has sufficient funds for important activities.
Other schools chartered buses or high-speed rail sleeper berths, but Principal Zhou waved his hand generously and said: Let's go by plane!
After gathering at the school, the participating team of twenty people took the school bus to the airport.
In addition to the ten contestants, the other ten are teachers and school leaders.
In the past, there would not be so many people. At most, there would be only five to six teachers leading the team, responsible for the students' safety, pet treatment, and daily food and accommodation.
Last year, the school leaders were furious because they made it to the top 32. Principal Zhou Zhiqiang hadn't led the team for many years, and this time, he joined the team for the first time since the provincial competition.
However, although people internally said that they wanted to avenge the previous shame, there was no such slogan outside.
Zhou Zhiqiang announced to the public that he would try his best this time and leave no regrets.
It sounds normal, but you have to know that the slogan of Donghai No. 1 Primary School in previous years has been to maintain the eighth place and strive for the fourth place.
Comparing the before and after, you can see how weak Donghai No. 1 Primary School is this year.
But Zhou Zhiqiang had no choice.
Everyone knows their own business. Ever since the sixth graders graduated last year, the Beast Taming Team of Donghai No. 1 Primary School has experienced a drastic decline in strength.
In fact, there had been warnings of this decline. The quality of students in recent years has not been very good, as evidenced by last year's top 32.
And this is just the beginning. If our luck in the draw is worse this year, we might end up in the top 64 or even be eliminated in the first round.
The fundamental reason is mainly because of the secret realm of Beiming.
This secret place is located in northern China, and it takes more than two hours to get there by plane from the East China Sea.
Moreover, there are many inconveniences in entering the secret realm from other places.
Whatever good resources there are, they will definitely be given first to local primary and secondary school students.
You can only take your turn after others have divided the rest. Therefore, many parents in the south who have the conditions are trying every means to send their children to study in the north for the development of their children, just to get good pets or training materials in the North Sea Secret Realm.
The outflow of outstanding students has also directly led to the sluggish performance of schools in the south in major competitions.
In fact, there are also secret realms rich in resources in the south, such as the mountain and sea secret realms and the heavenly palace secret realms, which are all in the southeast.
However, these secret realms are too dangerous and are not suitable for primary and secondary school students to enter. They are far less peaceful than the Beiming Secret Realm.
If there were a secret realm with rich resources and low danger in the East China Sea, the quality of students in the second year of Donghai City would probably catch up with that of Beijing!
But this kind of dream is best left to one's own devices; telling it aloud will only make one laugh.
In short, the elites have graduated and there is a lack of new people to take over. This team is the worst one Zhou Zhiqiang has ever led since he became the principal. It is so bad that he doesn't even dare to shout slogans too arrogantly.
If he fails this time, his bold words before the game will become a classic, passed down among schools and become an enduring amusement for everyone.
The situation is deteriorating and the heroes are losing their courage. Zhou Zhiqiang looked at the students in front of him with worry in his eyes.
Only when he glanced at Chu Yi and Qin Zihao could he feel a little relieved.
Qin Zihao was born into a prominent family. His initial pet was a cold-armored turtle with legendary bloodline, which is now level 21.
Although the attack power of the cold-armored turtle is not particularly outstanding, its defense is among the best in junior high school.
This cold-armored turtle has defeated many opponents of higher levels by simply retracting its shell and striking at them without any care.
Although his fighting style is a bit rogue, his strength is absolutely impeccable.
As for Chu Yi, he and his little fire monkey are the ones that Zhou Zhiqiang feels most at ease with.
He had seen many fire monkeys with extraordinary talents, but he had never seen one with such extreme talents.
From the first game, this little fire monkey didn't use any fire skills, it just used head-on punches and kicks.
Occasionally, when it encounters a powerful opponent, it can swing a flaming fist.
However, the flame of this move is not a supernatural flame, but a physical flame generated by the extremely high speed of the fist rubbing against the air. The real lethality lies in the shock wave.
This means that all of this little fire monkey's means of attack are physical, and it has no supernatural powers at all.
Specializing in one skill can certainly produce amazing results, but it also has great limitations.
Flying pets will always be a hurdle that this little fire monkey cannot cross, unless it can mutate and evolve into a fighting form and master the use of true qi.
Otherwise, it will be very easy to suffer losses when you meet a real master in the future.
But overall, Chu Yi and his little fire monkey are definitely the best among their peers.
As long as you put a little effort into deploying your troops, letting them avoid difficult opponents, or letting your own players help consume more energy, it is still easy to win the game.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhiqiang opened his mobile phone and started researching his opponents in this provincial competition.
The regional qualifiers for the national competition have been going on for quite some time. As last year's provincial champions, they can start directly from the semi-finals.
It is worth mentioning that each province has four to five places in the regional selection.
This year, Jiangnan Province has four quota places, so the top four of this provincial competition have successfully advanced to the national competition.
So nominally it is a provincial semi-final, but the level of competition is actually national.
This time, their opponent in the semi-finals is Boyuan Primary School, which also made it into the top 32 last year.
