Chapter 27: There is a gap between the top “This will definitely be a fight between dragons and tigers!”Inside the TV studio, the host set the tone for the semi-finals of the Jiangnan Province Elementary School Student Beast Taming Competition that will take place tomorrow. "A fight between dragons and tigers? Not necessarily." An old professor with a white beard next to the host smiled. "Oh? It seems that Mr. Li has some special insights?" The host turned to look at the old professor and passed the conversation to him. "Not that I have any opinion." Professor Li shook his head slightly. "This is actually a consensus on the Internet. Most netizens think that Boyuan Primary School will easily defeat Donghai No. 1 Primary School this time. It is not impossible that they will defeat two of them in a row." The host looked surprised and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Donghai No. 1 Primary School is the eighth consecutive provincial champion. Even if they didn't perform well in the national competition last year, they shouldn't have fallen so badly, right? Besides, wasn't Boyuan ranked in the top 32 last year?" "There is still a gap between the top 32." A middle-aged man with a goatee took over the conversation and said with a mocking smile: "Everyone knows how Donghai No. 1 Primary School made it to the top 32. In the first round, they played against Tianshan Martial Arts School, which is recognized as the last in terms of strength. In the second round, their opponent was Hangzhou Experimental Primary School, which is also from Jiangnan Province. What's the value of winning two games against a weak opponent? On the other hand, Boyuan played against strong teams in the central region in the first two rounds, and lost to last year's champion Wolong Academy in the third round, and even took two points from the champion, so I think they are at least at the level of the top 16!" "I agree with Xiao Zhang's point of view." Professor Li nodded in agreement. "In fact, it was very difficult for Donghai No. 1 Primary School to win the provincial championship last year. They won both the semi-finals and the finals by 7 to 6, which is completely different from the crushing performance in previous years.
The most crucial point is that the slogan of Donghai No. 1 Primary School in previous years was to maintain the eighth place and strive for the fourth place, but this year it has become to try our best and leave no regrets. A team that doesn't even dare to shout a slogan loudly, doesn't it show that they are strong on the outside but weak on the inside? " As soon as these words were spoken, the guests in the studio all showed expressions of deep agreement and began to praise Boyuan Primary School. “Is the situation at school so bad?” Chu Yi turned off the TV and frowned involuntarily. At this moment, he has already got off the plane and checked into the hotel. I turned on the TV when I had nothing to do and wanted to watch some funny variety shows to relax. In the end, I didn't see the variety show, but I did see an old man severely disparaging their school. However, seeing that Principal Zhou had a frown on his face along the way, it seemed that the situation was indeed not optimistic for them. The most important point is that mobile phones were confiscated. The principal said that he did not want them to be distracted and asked them to rest early and stay in good condition. Now it seems that the internet is full of mocking and pessimistic voices. I collected the phones because I am worried that my classmates’ mentality will be affected. However, Chu Yi felt that this bad situation was actually quite good. If everyone was pessimistic about him, but he slapped everyone in the face, wouldn't that be the highlight of his life? He had always guessed that the system would pop up an achievement when he was experiencing the highlight of his life. Now it’s all right. Tomorrow I’ll know if my guess is right or not… As soon as the sky in the east began to lighten, Zhou Zhiqiang got out of bed. It wasn't because of his biological clock, but because he didn't sleep at all. The classmates don’t have mobile phones and cannot contact the outside world, but he can always see the comments online. The four words "new king ascends the throne" have become a hot search. Who in the entire Jiangnan Province doesn't know that they are in great danger this time? Zhou Zhiqiang actually knew this clearly, otherwise he would not have asked the students to hand in their cell phones.
However, as the principal, he must not show any panic at this moment. Even if the final result is a loss, he must lose with dignity and grace. Walking into the bathroom, Zhou Zhiqiang washed his face with cold water, then slapped himself hard several times, finally suppressing his inner anxiety. When he raised his head again, the momentum of Jiangnan Province's eighth consecutive championship returned to his eyes. An hour later, the contestants from Donghai No. 1 Primary School, who had finished their breakfast, were led by their teacher to the competition venue - Hangzhou Pet Battle Center. This is a fully enclosed indoor venue that can accommodate up to 30,000 people at the same time and is equipped with all kinds of equipment. Although today is the semi-final, everyone knows that this is the final being played in advance, and whoever wins will be the champion. So the venue was packed today, and there were more than 500,000 people watching online. After the people from Donghai No. 1 Primary School entered the contestant area, they found that the people from Boyuan Primary School had arrived earlier than them. Boyuan Primary School is a private primary school. The school directors are all well-known wealthy people in Jiangnan Province who are willing to spend money. Therefore, less than ten years after its establishment, Boyuan Primary School has already possessed a foundation that many old and famous schools cannot match. Pet eggs, cultivation fruits, evolution potions, skill books, these beast-controlling goods, Boyuan not only purchases top-quality goods in the domestic market, but also spends a lot of money to import them from abroad. It was under such a financial offensive that Boyuan achieved such outstanding results in such a short period of time. "Principal Zhou, long time no see." When Principal Wang Heng of Boyuan Primary School saw the people from Donghai No. 1 Primary School, he took the initiative to walk up to them and say hello. Even though Zhou Zhiqiang was very upset with Wang Heng, he still said with a smile: "Principal Wang looks good." "I've always been like that. My students are so outstanding that I don't even have the chance to worry about them." Wang Heng shook his head with emotion, and then he said in surprise: "Oh, look at the dark circles under Principal Zhou's eyes. I'm afraid he must have been worried sick this year." Zhou Zhiqiang shook his head and sighed: "There is no other way. After all, our school does not have any big sponsors, so we can only work harder on our own. It is a bit tiring, but being down-to-earth also makes people feel more at ease." "Your ideas are all outdated." Wang Heng laughed and said with a slightly sarcastic tone: "What's the point of just working hard? Aren't talents and resources the most important things in the art of taming beasts? Principal Zhou, you and your school are old, it is time for you to step down. " "You have no say in this matter. If you want us to abdicate, it depends on whether you have the ability to do so!" Zhou Zhiqiang snorted coldly and glared at Wang Heng's asking-for-a-punch smiling face. Before the game even started, the two principals were already on edge. "The game is about to begin, both players please prepare to enter the stage!" The host's reminder sounded on the radio. Wang Heng turned his head to look at his group of students who were already impatient, and shouted with a smile: "Li Mingyang, go grab the first prize for everyone!" "Okay!" The boy who was called immediately jumped up from his chair excitedly and rushed to the stage happily. "Yu Xiaoguang, you take the lead in the first match." Zhou Zhiqiang also made arrangements. Hearing that he was not the first to appear, Chu Yi clenched his fists, feeling a little disappointed. (End of this chapter)
