Chapter 57: Thunder and Wind Rising from the Earth
Two days later, at Venue No. 2, the third round of the National Primary School Students’ Beast Taming Competition.

"You want to lead the charge?"

In the players' lounge, Zhou Zhiqiang asked in surprise at Chu Yi's request.

"That's right, Principal." Chu Yi nodded seriously, "I just want to be the first one to go."

Zhou Zhiqiang took a deep breath, then patted Chu Yi on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Chu Yi, I know that there has been a lot of pressure on you online these days, but there is no need for you to act impulsively."

"I'm not impulsive, Principal." Chu Yi shook his head slightly, "I made this decision with full confidence and absolute rationality."

"Since you say so..."

Zhou Zhiqiang originally wanted to ask several other team members to help Chu Yi consume one or two opponents, but since he didn't need it, forget it.

After all, it is no exaggeration to say that it is Chu Yi’s contribution alone that has enabled Donghai No. 1 Primary School to get to this point.

He can squander the empire he conquered however he wants.

"Okay, you'll take the lead."

Zhou Zhiqiang said with an encouraging look in his eyes, he still had great confidence in Chu Yi's ability.

Even if the opponent this time is the favorite to win the championship, no matter how strong they are, they will not be much stronger than Tianwen Private School.

Zhou Zhiqiang is actually quite inflated now, and even feels that among all the remaining teams, only Wolong Academy is capable of a fight.

This is the confidence that Chu Yi brought him, which was something he could never have imagined before.

Soon the match of 32 to 16 began, and Zhou Zhiqiang and his team members entered the venue one after another.

Today's match is a focus match. On one side is the old strong team, Peking University Affiliated Primary School, and on the other side is the Donghai No. 1 Primary School, which is known as a new champion contender for the championship.

The strength of the players on the Peking University Affiliated Primary School side is relatively balanced. Except for the captain who is in the top ten of the Wolong list, the other players are also among the top 30 of the Wolong list. The entire team is said to have no weaknesses.

As for Donghai No. 1 Primary School, there is no doubt that it relies entirely on Chu Yi to hold the scene. The strength gap between the other six people and the championship team is too obvious.

But it didn't matter. Chu Yi's height was too exaggerated. He was like a white jade pillar supporting the sky and a purple gold beam spanning the sea. He held up a piece of sky while surrounded by powerful enemies.

Although many people on the Internet do not like his domineering personality, no one can deny his strength.

He is undoubtedly one of the top three in this national competition. Don't look at Ji Chen next door who is on the hot search and giving a speech, which is causing trouble.

In fact, netizens know very well that Ji Chen will definitely not be able to perform as well as Chu Yi when facing Tianwen Private School, and it is hard to say whether he can see the second life of Phoenix.

Of course, traffic is king now.

In addition, Ji Chen’s strength is not bad. Considering the commercial value of the two, who else should the capital support if not him?
As for the officials, they certainly attach great importance to all potential stocks, but various resources, treatment, etc. are usually awarded based on performance after the competition.

Contacting the players before the game is over can easily cause some negative effects.

There have been cases in the past where the official was very optimistic about a certain player, so they contacted him before the game was over.

As a result, all the following opponents "guessed the boss's intention" and made a big move at the same time, thus creating the least valuable championship since the new century.

From then on, the official basically stopped contacting the players in advance.

Usually, a few old men stay in a small dark room, write down the names of outstanding players in a small notebook, and then contact them after the competition is over.

As for what kind of special treatment the contestants will receive later, that depends on their own potential.

In short, the iron must be strong itself

Although Chu Yi's reputation is mixed now, if he can win all the way to the finals, he may even win the championship.

Then overnight he would become the most eye-catching student among all the primary school students in the country.

From now on, there will be no more little black spots in his life, because he himself is the dazzling sun that can shatter all darkness!
"The game is about to begin, please invite the No. 1 players of both teams to come on stage!"

The referee's voice came from the radio. Chu Yi, who had already communicated with the players, stood up from the contestant seat and walked towards the competition arena. I still remember that when he played against Tianwen Private School, he was alone.

The audience yawned and just wanted to finish quickly and have lunch.

After the reporters finished their routine interviews, they were all waiting for him to lose the game so that they could take a victory photo for Tianwen Private School.

Even his teammates waved pieces of paper around, showing off the autographs they had gotten from their enemies.

But now, everything has changed.

The audience and teammates were cheering for him, the cameras were focused on him, and the flashes seemed to be made for him.

“This kind of scene is really enjoyable.”

Chu Yi stood on the stage, listening to his name being called out one wave after another in the audience, and finally experienced the joy of being a star.

No wonder those beastmasters who have some ability and good looks are willing to be stars. It really feels good to be loved fanatically by so many people.

Unfortunately, this kind of pleasure is ultimately based on superficial liking.

Now the audience will cheer for him, but if his opponent is Ji Chen, then these voices will definitely turn to cheer for Ji Chen.

If he wants loyal fans, he will have to perform better.

"It's decided to be you, Monkey Brother!"

Chu Yi patted the badge, and Monkey Brother, dressed in golden armor and looking heroic, appeared on the stage.

"Sparks sparks..."

Monkey Brother tilted his head and gave Chu Yi a blank look, then complained in a helpless tone.

What I mean is that you only have me as your pet, who else can you choose if not me?

The appearance of Monkey Brother immediately caused the audience to exclaim:
"No matter how many times I see it, I will still be impressed by the handsome appearance of the War Ape."

"The War God Bull is too big, and the War God Bird is too delicate. Only the War God Ape has the best body shape, tall, strong and well-proportioned."

"After activating the Burning Heart and Burning Soul, he will be even more handsome, like a god descending from heaven."

"I was the opponent who surrendered directly. I was so handsome that I lost my fighting spirit."

"I really want to be punched hard by the War Ape. That must be a very exciting feeling."

"Brother Monkey, I want to give birth to a monkey for you!"

"???????"

"You guys are having a lot of fun."

"Hello, are you the police? I'm reporting that there are Nantong, Furuikong, and M here. It's like an exorcist!"

"Brother Monkey: Don't come over here!"

………………

Fortunately, these outrageous remarks were just comments, so Chu Yi and Monkey Brother couldn’t see them.

If someone else howled like that at the scene, Chu Yi and Monkey Brother would probably be so disgusted that they would vomit out their overnight meals, and their fighting power would be greatly reduced.

Under Chu Yi's gaze, his opponent came on stage.

The number one contestant of Beijing Affiliated Primary School is called Lu Kai. His pet is a rare pet from the Western alien world, and its scientific name is Zelda.
