Chapter 593 8 Masters Grouping

Chapter 593 Eight Masters Grouped

After the intense and exciting qualifying battle for the eight masters, the brutal first round of elimination matches came to an end.

Eight highly skilled players ultimately claimed the title of "Master Eight," and they are:

The strongest champion from Galar, Leon, who crushed his opponents with a sweeping attack;

Wataru, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto, is a veteran with a wealth of experience in countless battles.

Also from Kanto, the champion duo, Crimson and Blue-Green, emerged from nowhere and stole the show in just one month.

To defend Hoenn's honor, Steven and Wallace stand on the tournament stage as champions;

Cynthia, the genius champion of Sinnoh, is both a champion and a mythologist.

as well as----

The audience is very familiar with him and is eagerly anticipating his outstanding performance, hoping that he can upset a group of champions!

After the match, silhouettes of the eight masters who held this year's title flashed across the stadium's big screen.

Just by looking at their average age, you can clearly feel that an exciting youth storm is sweeping across the field this year.

"Teacher Yu, you must win the Masters Tournament and make us viewers in the live stream proud!"

"Mr. Leon, let us uphold this supreme honor for Galar once more!"

"I don't care who wins, I just want to see rivers of blood!"

T

Even after the competition ended, the audience remained in their seats, enthusiastically expressing their most fervent expectations.

The reason is simple: the eight masters have been selected, but the schedule for the next rounds has not yet been announced.

The results of the quarterfinals draw are just as anticipated by the audience as a thrilling match.

Moreover, the upcoming battles will be held at the highest level of the tournament, with 6v6 all-out battles taking place in the arena.

For some of the newcomers, being able to field six main players might already be their limit, making it difficult to have the same flexibility to change formations and counter opponents as in 3v3.

Of course, veterans also face the dilemma that their tactics are more easily interpreted by their opponents, and they must make more unexpected choices to break the opponent's established tactics.

At this stage, the outcome depends not only on raw skill but also on the trainer's ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

As for which of the eight masters has the most "champion potential"?

I believe most viewers would blindly choose Teacher Yu.

There is no other reason.

So far, it seems that no one has truly tested the depth of Qingyu's outrageous tactical skills.

Even the other eight masters, after watching several of Qingyu's matches, found it difficult to accurately grasp his mentality during battles, and naturally found it difficult to counter him.

Teacher Yu is unfathomable!

This unique advantage might actually help him easily make it to the finals and challenge for the glorious title of "World's Strongest," which countless trainers yearn for.

but----

There is also a segment of the audience who would rather see a "customized" match than watch Qingyu win the championship.

If Teacher Yu and Zhu Lan were in the same group, wouldn't the domestic violence match be more interesting than the other matches?

Although the two have not officially announced their relationship, it seems that everyone has already accepted it as fact.

Perhaps this “domestic violence incident” that is destined to be recorded in history will really be an important turning point for their relationship to go further?

I don't really care about the dog food; I just want to see if Teacher Yu will go easy on me.

After all, her future status within the family will likely be closely related to this battle!

With various expectations in mind, the audience eagerly watched the upcoming lottery ceremony.

Soon, all the contestants who had advanced returned to the stage, and Lorz, the president of the Galar Alliance who was in charge of the draw ceremony, also walked onto the stage with a smile and greeted each of the contestants.

"Teacher Yu, I really look forward to seeing you again soon."

As Lorze went to draw the prize, Mikoli, who had just been wearing a businesslike smile, suddenly came over and nudged Qingyu with her elbow.

"I still haven't had a chance to get my revenge on you for what happened with Pokémon Champions."

"To achieve a magnificent revenge that's a year overdue on the Masters stage—doesn't that sound elegant?"

"."

'

Qingyu raised an eyebrow, a playful look on her face.

"I hope so. Anyway, if the goal is to win the championship, then I'll have to defeat all the strong opponents sooner or later."

"You really dare to say that."

Michael smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"But you're right. If you're not prepared to beat everyone, it's impossible to become the strongest."

"As for when we'll meet, that depends on how Chairman Loz draws the lots."

After Mikoli finished speaking, he turned to look at the middle-aged man from Galar who was stirring the lottery pool, his eyes full of anticipation.

The other contestants shared his sentiment, however—

Most of them have their own ulterior motives.

"————"×2

Although the crimson and cyan stood together, they did not utter a single word.

Even when their eyes met, they made no attempt to hide the fighting spirit in each other's hearts.

Especially Qinglu, his eyes seemed to speak volumes.

Even Qingyu could translate his thoughts—

"Hey, you're not allowed to lose to anyone else before facing me!"

Compared to the two newcomers who were full of fighting spirit, Wataru and Daigo were clearly less interested.

Although he had successfully advanced to the Eight Masters, A-Du's face showed no joy whatsoever. He remained expressionless, focused solely on waiting for the draw results.

As for Daigo—

He seemed more interested in the miracle stones and special stones that had absorbed ultimate energy surrounding the arena than in the competition itself, and was walking around the others, looking down at them with great interest.

Qingyu's gaze passed over the serious-looking Dan Di and went to Zhu Lan on the other side.

The two looked into each other's eyes and smiled at the same time.

Qingyu remembered the promise he had made to Zhulan, and believed that she should also remember it.

I wish I could have a chance to face off against them head-on.

Perhaps his idea worked, because soon President Loz began the lottery drawing process—

The first one he acquired had the words "Qingyu" written on it.

After seeing this through the Rotom camera, the audience immediately went wild, exclaiming, "Teacher Yu, you're so fast! Is that even possible?!"

"Teacher Yu is in first place in the upper bracket. Looks like a fierce battle is about to begin."

"He's already a master of the Eighth Master, so it doesn't really matter who he fights. I believe Teacher Yu can definitely create a miracle!"

"Please, President Rose, the next one has to be Orchid Bamboo!"

As a man accustomed to grand occasions, Lóz's expression did not change when he saw the results of the draw. He simply smiled at the camera and then continued the drawing ceremony.

When Zhu Lan's name appeared in the second draw, the entire palace arena instantly erupted in cheers.

"Oh my god! Is this fate's arrangement? Teacher Yu is destined to have a battle with Mengmengda to determine their family status!"

"Did President Rose really not make a signature? This is hilarious!"

"I asked if I won or lost, and what did Teacher Yu mean when she replied, 'I'll marry you'?"

"I want to see rivers of blood flowing right now!"

Not only the audience, but also the other contestants in the eight masters group who were waiting for the draw results cast gossipy glances at this dramatic outcome.

Even the Dan Emperor, who was sandwiched in the middle, took the initiative to move aside so that he could directly observe the reactions of Qing Yu and Zhu Lan after their eyes met.

Compared to the champions and elite trainers, the trainers on the field at this moment seemed like a group of mischievous friends stirring things up, with playful smiles on their faces.

But the result was somewhat disappointing for them.

When the two looked at each other, they didn't say anything, but just smiled gently at each other.

Zhu Lan looked at Qing Yu with a gentle smile, and only slightly raised her left hand, seemingly symbolically indicating the missing middle finger on her hand.

Qingyu nodded in agreement, everything understood without a word.

With President Lóz quickly completing the draw, the schedule for the upcoming knockout stage has been released.

Upper half.

The "domestic violence match" between Qingyu and Zhulan is a topic of much discussion among viewers.

On the other side is Mikkelsen vs. Dante, with the winners of both sides meeting in the semifinals.

In the lower half, the first match is the Kanto civil war between Crimson and Watari.

Finally, it was Blue Green vs. Daigo.

When he saw the draw, A-Du's expression was noticeably subtle.

Why are the three people from Guandu in the same group?

Moreover, these two were also his juniors who had defeated him on the road to the championship and successively won the Kanto championship title.

Whether they are red or green, their strength absolutely deserves the title of champion; it's just that they haven't made a name for themselves in international competitions yet due to their short time in the industry.

but----

At the same time, A-Du was also somewhat relieved.

Qinglv wasn't the only one seeking revenge at the Masters!

This time, let my Dragon Legion dominate the arena once again!

A-Du was clearly fired up.

Crimson and green hues also ignited.

Green took the initiative to reach out and make a fist, placing it half a meter in front of Crimson.

"See you in the semifinals. I'll beat any opponent and come after you for revenge."

'

"Crimson pressed down on the red and white baseball cap on his head, revealing a rare smile full of fighting spirit."

Although he hasn't spoken yet, his expression says it all.

"I never expected this competition schedule to be so interesting; I'm already looking forward to it!"

Upon seeing the event preview scrolling on the big screen, Akin burst into unrestrained laughter.

"Both sides are so much fun, and the first match is with Teacher Yu!"

"Tsk—"

Xiao Yin shook her head helplessly, completely unwilling to pay attention to this lively character who had suddenly become so engrossed in something she didn't know.

His expression now seemed somewhat conflicted—

Teacher Yu is indeed my master, but according to seniority, shouldn't I, as the champion of Zhulan, also address her as my master's wife?

Who should I cheer for then?

Having grown up almost entirely alone with little exposure to human relationships, Silver realized for the first time that this skill seemed far more difficult than raising Pokémon.

the other side.

The Diglett in Sinnoh are facing the same problem.

"The civil war between Sister Zhulan and Teacher Yu—"

Da Ye rested her chin on her hands and leaned against the railing, looking down at Qing Yu and Zhu Lan who were exchanging glances. Suddenly, she clicked her tongue.

These two in-laws are such nagging mothers-in-law!

The Sinnoh Elite Four had heard something about the "battle agreement" between the two.

Having never been in a relationship, he couldn't quite understand.

After all, nothing beats the thrill and excitement of Pokémon battles when it comes to dating.

However, if Cynthia wins, will there be a chance to bring Yu back to Sinnoh in the future?

After hesitating for a few seconds, Da Ye immediately made a decision: "I will support Sister Zhu Lan!"

"What nonsense are you spouting—"

A-Liu scratched her head, feeling unable to understand Da-Ye's sudden words.

"We're the Sinnoh Elite Four, so we definitely have to support Cynthia, right?"

"Hard to say."

Denji, a temporary member of the "Three Moles" group who hadn't said much, suddenly interrupted him.

At the same time, she unconsciously smoothed her flowing golden hair.

Is it possible that, regardless of winning or losing, Sinnoh is always the one who wins?

"Teacher Yu was born in Shenhe Town. If she really marries Sister Zhulan, she will most likely return to Shenhe Town to settle down in the future."

"Therefore, winning or losing is no longer important!"

"Whether you're cheering for Teacher Yu or Sister Zhu Lan, it doesn't really matter~"

"As expected of you, you've already thought this far ahead???"

Da Ye looked shocked, but felt that Dian Ci's words made a lot of sense, so he nodded repeatedly.

"Just as Wusong was about to join them after losing the game, he suddenly stopped in his tracks."

Doesn't Da Ye know that Denji is actually a die-hard fan of Yu-sensei?

What I just said seemed like an attempt to find a reasonable explanation for my support of Teacher Yu.

Can't you even see that?

Being around these three idiots makes me feel like my IQ is being assimilated.

However, it seems like I'm also a fan of Teacher Yu?

Who should we support?

What a happy problem!

Wusong shook his head.

Of course, it would be even better if I could stand on the stage of this highest level competition.

"There are a lot of young people in this competition. It seems that the future of this era really depends on these young people."

In the audience, Professor Oak, dressed in Alola attire, looked up at the big screen and suddenly remarked.

"Isn't that a good thing? This generation of young people is more capable than us old folks, which just means it's time for us to step down!"

Master Ma, with his hunched back and bright, piercing eyes, responded with a smile.

His gaze shifted between Qingyu and Dandi, then turned to look at the crimson and green figures to the side.

As inheritors of their will, both of these little guys have been performing quite brilliantly lately.

It is definitely a fortunate thing for an era to have multiple equally powerful individuals at the same time.

If someone stands at a high position for too long, it's only a matter of time before they lose interest in Pokémon battles.

Just like he and Daiki back then.

But at least for now—

At least in this Masters tournament, there's no shortage of opponents.

Dan-je, facing the rising younger generation, can you still defend your honor this time?

After scanning the area below with his cloudy eyes, Ma Shide looked back and resumed his usual cynical demeanor.

"This old man is so excited!"

Amid the audience's eager anticipation.

Time quickly came to the day of the Eight Masters elimination tournament.
