Today, the host ascended the enormous arena stage at the center of the venue.
A flock of Dream Butterflies fluttered past, and clusters of flowers blood like a dream.
At the sa ti, a dazzling and colorful electronic fireworks display exploded in the sky above the venue.
The semifinals and finals officially kicked off.
Different worlds, sa profoundness.
First, the main leaders delivered their speeches.
Next, representatives from the event organizers spoke.
Then, representatives of important guests gave their speeches.
One finished speaking, and another appeared.
Fortunately, the leaders in this world didn't seem to be particularly fond of verbose literature, so they didn't make everyone listen to an hour or two of official platitudes.
The process took about half an hour, and finally, it was ti for the semifinal draw ceremony.
Mingxi VS Peacock
Kuang Ning VS Lin Hanzhou
The nas on the electronic screen froze.
Mingxi imdiately felt an intense gaze, coming from the cool, long-haired Peacock.
She was her next opponent.
Peacock walked up to Mingxi and extended her hand, which Mingxi imdiately shook.
She marveled inwardly, "What soft, delicate hands! So tender!"
"Mingxi, in the first match, I will send out my strongest Pet Beast, Dì Jiān Jiǎ, so I hope you can also send out your Lei Yan Yu Huang."
Mingxi: "..."
Peacock's gaze was very sincere; it didn't seem like pre-match trash talk.
But no matter how sincere she was, it was useless.
Golden Yuanbao was out of commission.
(ㆀ˘･з･˘)
So Mingxi could only brace herself and reply, "Lei Yan Yu Huang, Lovenia, and Ling Tianzi are all my strongest."
The implication was that while Dì Jiān Jiǎ might be her strongest, and the other two were minor players, for , my three Pet Beasts stand equally, with no difference in strength.
So anyone could be sent out, and it's impossible to say who.
This explanation, to Peacock, naturally sounded like Mingxi was trying to evade.
And also...
"Thanks, I felt the insinuation."
Lovenia and Ling Tianzi are not bad, but they are not truly General-level Pet Beasts, and their exclusive evolution can't possibly be 100% successful, right?
Not just Peacock, but most people believed that Mingxi's strongest Pet Beast was always Lei Yan Yu Huang.
Peacock's delicate brows furrowed slightly, "You don't need to be nervous. I am absolutely not deceiving you. I genuinely want Dì Jiān Jiǎ and Lei Yan Yu Huang to have a fair and square match."
This sister was quite stubborn.
Mingxi sighed helplessly, "I am also sincere."
Peacock: "..."
This Xiao Guniang, at such a young age, why is she so guarded?
Not cute at all!
"...Forget it!" Peacock sighed. She had originally wanted Dì Jiān Jiǎ and Lei Yan Yu Huang to have a good match, but she didn't expect Mingxi to be so wary.
She didn't press the issue further.
She looked towards the central battle stage, where a guest was performing.
"Teacher Liao, Comntator Wang, the semifinals are about to begin. Would you like to predict which two contestants will ultimately make it to the finals?"
The host was already seated with the two comntators specifically responsible for comntating the semifinals and finals.
The two professional comntators were Wang Rui, who had pulled various strings for Mingxi and finally succeeded in becoming a comntator for the small regional finals.
And Liao Hongwei, a well-known professional Beast Tars competition comntator from the Jianghuai region, who transitioned from being a Professional Beastmaster.
Hearing the host's question.
The seasoned Liao Hongwei first chuckled and said,
"Xiao Han, you're not being kind. Are you digging a pit for us?"
Han Tiantian, who was today's host, quickly waved her hands in a fluster: "No, no, absolutely not. I am genuinely curious which contestant the teachers favor more.
Like , I support Kuang Ning!"
Seeing the Xiao Guniang so anxious that she was sweating, Liao Hongwei burst into laughter, "I was just teasing you."
"Actually, your question is perfectly normal. Before every Beast Tars competition begins, 99.9% of the audience will ntally predict the winner and loser."
He said, looking at Wang Rui beside him, and threw the question to him.
"Xiao Wang, isn't that right?"
Wang Rui was also smiling, like a lucky person who had found two hundred yuan.
He nodded: "Teacher Liao is right."
Han Tiantian quickly asked, "Then Comntator Wang, who do you favor the most? Is it Peacock? She seems to be from the sa hotown as you."
"No, actually, I'm a fan of Mingxi."
Wang Rui did not hide his preference. He had been following Mingxi's ngo Blog for a long ti.
He had reposted and comnted on all of Mingxi's recent ngo Blog posts.
Anyone with a bit of effort could find out he was a Mingxi fan.
Besides, there's nothing shaful about being a fan of Mingxi.
And as a comntator, there's no need to be impartial to contestants like a referee, ensuring absolute fairness and justice.
In this world, it's perfectly normal for Beast Tars competition comntators to have their own biases.
Basically, comntators for large-scale events all have their favorite Professional Beastmasters, and so even specialize in comntating only their idol's matches.
These types of comntators are also called personal exclusive comntators. Many famous Professional Beastmasters' teams will specifically have 1 to 3 personal exclusive comntators.
During the Starsea Cup, the verbal sparring among personal exclusive comntators was also a major highlight of the competition.
Previously, Wang Rui's goal was to beco a professional comntator.
But now, his goal had evolved into becoming Mingxi's personal exclusive comntator.
"I didn't expect Comntator Wang to be a fan of Mingxi; that's quite surprising," Han Tiantian said with a look of astonishnt. "Then do you think Mingxi can defeat Peacock and make it to the finals?"
Wang Rui answered without hesitation: "Of course, she will be the final champion."
Hearing this, Han Tiantian pouted slightly, sowhat displeased: "Kuang Ning is the champion!"
The two stared at each other.
Their killing intent fully unleashed, neither willing to back down.
Liao Hongwei laughed heartily again, "You two are quite interesting. One favors the most handso Kuang Ning, and the other favors the most beautiful Mingxi. I really suspect you two aren't here to work, but to chase stars."
As soon as Liao Hongwei said this, Han Tiantian's face turned slightly red.
She did indeed favor Kuang Ning because he was handso.
Wang Rui, however, shook his head: "Teacher Liao, being beautiful is Mingxi's most insignificant advantage."
"It seems Xiao Wang, you truly are a fan of Mingxi."
He had seen this stubbornness in defending an idol in many of his colleagues.
It's just that Wang Rui's idol was excessively young.
The conversation between the host Han Tiantian and the two comntators was broadcast through loudspeakers throughout.
This was considered a warm-up segnt and part of the host and comntators' job, which they were well aware of.
So everyone could hear their conversation.
Naturally, this included Mingxi.
Mingxi sighed, had her fans already infiltrated the comntary circle?
"Grandma, I've made it."
Actually, Mingxi had already recognized Wang Rui, as her mory was excellent.
This comntator nad Wang must have been captivated by her impressive performance in the Changheng Group internal selection competition.
He has good taste!
"Mingxi VS Peacock, 3V3 first match! Both Beast Tars summon their Pet Beasts!"
Mingxi and Peacock had already taken their positions «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» at their respective command platforms.
At the referee's command, both quickly ford hand seals.
Dì Jiān Jiǎ and Little Silver Flower appeared simultaneously on the battle stage.
