"This mode tests the students' individual combat capabilities, endurance, and the captain's strategic deployment of troops!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience was in an uproar.
"So, which mode will each match adopt?"
The Prime Minister smiled slightly and pointed to a large golden drawing box on the stage:
"All of this is left to fate—that is, decided by drawing lots."
"After the groups are determined, the first seed team drawn for each group will have the right to represent that group and draw the format that will be used for all matches in that group during this round of the round-robin!"
The explanation of the rules was finished.
The atmosphere on the scene instantly became tense.
This wasn't just about sorting opponents; it was about sorting 'destiny'.
If a team that excelled at team battles drew the Individual Elimination Match, it would be a total disaster; and vice versa.
"Alright, enough talk."
"The drawing ceremony begins now!"
At the Prime Minister's command, staff members brought out the giant drawing box.
"Will the representatives of each academy please come up to draw lots in order, according to their rankings from the first round of matches!"
One by one, the captains or leaders of the academies walked onto the stage with apprehensive hearts.
"Group One... Team Battle!"
"Group Two... Team Battle!"
"Group Five... Individual Elimination Match!"
As the results were announced one by one, some were joyful while others were worried.
Soon, it was the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's turn.
"Next, the captain of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Liu Yuan!"
As the Prime Minister called out this name, the eyes of the entire audience focused instantly.
In the preparation area, Liu Yuan slowly stood up.
He straightened his cuffs, his expression calm, and walked toward the stage.
As he passed the Shrek Team's area, he could clearly feel Xuan Zi's almost predatory gaze, as well as the complex stares of Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao, and the others.
But his pace did not falter as he walked straight onto the high platform.
Standing before the giant drawing box, Liu Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest and reached his hand directly inside.
A few seconds later.
His hand was withdrawn, holding a white sphere.
He handed the sphere to the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister glanced at it and then announced loudly:
"Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy—group six!"
group six!
At this moment, the column for group six on the large screen was still empty.
This meant that the Sun Moon Team was the first team to enter group six, making them the seed team for group six!
"Given that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is the first team selected for group six."
The Prime Minister looked at Liu Yuan and made a 'please' gesture:
"Captain Liu Yuan, please draw the match format for group six for this Round-robin Tournament."
Another smaller red box was pushed forward.
Inside, there were only two options: Team Battle, or Individual Battle.
The entire audience held their breath.
For a Soul Engineer team like the Sun Moon Team, the outside world generally believed they were better at team battles.
This was because spirit tool battery tactics could form terrifying fire coverage in team battles, whereas in individual battles, if they encountered agility-attack system or Defense System experts in close-quarters combat, Soul Engineers would often be at a disadvantage.
Below the stage, Xuan Zi stared fixedly at Liu Yuan's hand, sneering inwardly:
'Hmph, Soul Engineers fear one-on-one duels the most. If he draws the Individual Elimination Match, they're finished!'
Under the watchful eyes of the multitude, Liu Yuan's hand reached into the red box.
Everyone craned their necks.
Finally, Liu Yuan's hand came out.
It was a folded golden card.
He flipped the card over, facing the entire audience, and also facing the direction of Shrek Academy.
The Prime Minister saw the words on the card clearly, his pupils shrinking slightly. He then took a deep breath and roared loudly:
"group six Match Format—"
"Individual Elimination Match!!"
