Net King: Black Glory

Chapter 150 Paris, World, Rules
Sixteen hours later, the plane landed slowly at the Paris airport.

The sleeping people were woken up by the coach and got off the plane together.

What comes to mind when you think of Paris?
Blonde girl, flaming red lips, the banks of the Seine, a palace of artistic attainment?
In this city that has not yet been occupied by another color and has a hint of romance, it can indeed satisfy a large number of people's fantasies about Europe.

But for Zong Yan and others in this age group, none of this is very attractive.

……

"Is this the romantic Paris?"

The third graders were okay, after all, they had been on many expeditions, but the first graders, even Zong Yan, seemed a little too excited.

It was his first time to participate in such a grand competition. He didn't expect that he would not be able to participate in Neon's domestic competition, but he would be able to compete with masters from major countries in the world. Naturally, he couldn't hide his excitement.

And this is France. As a tennis player, there is no one who does not know this place.

There are four major tennis tournaments, also known as the four major tennis tournaments, which are also the highest level tennis tournaments.

These include the Australian Open, Wimbledon, Roland Garros and US Open.

It is one of the largest tennis tournaments in the world.

Although the U-17 World Cup is not comparable to this kind of professional Grand Slam event, the place where it can be held is the same as the place where professional events are held.

Their U-17 World Cup this time will be held at the Roland Garros Stadium in Paris, France.

This is the most famous clay court. The clay courts Zongyan encountered in Spain before are simply incomparable.

Just as Zong Yan was thinking excitedly, Mifune Iridou said:

"Little devils, cheer me up, don't lose the face of our representative team."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Zong Yan and Irie looked at each other, and they all understood the meaning expressed in each other's eyes.

With this sloppy outfit and drunken appearance, who is embarrassment?
"Hey, look at that group of people over there, they are also participating in the U-17 World Cup competition."

At this time, Zong Yan saw a group of people similar to them coming out of another platform, and asked curiously.

The people opposite were also carrying tennis bags. They were obviously World Cup participants, but Mongyan didn't recognize their national flags.

"That is, the Governing Republic of Summer that I met during the previous expedition."

At this moment, Ghost Sun, who was walking on Zong Yan's left, recognized the country at a glance.

It was one of the opponents of the previous expedition.

"Oh, it turns out they are the Xia Zhiguan Republic."

Zong Yan understood that this was the country ranked at the bottom in the original work. Anyone could defeat it if it was not strong enough.

"Okay, stop talking and go to the hotel quickly."

Under the constant urging of the fellow staff, everyone boarded a chartered car and headed towards the hotel.

"Taneshima-kun should come to pick us up today."

After getting in the car, Irie Kanata walked beside Oni Jujiro and asked in a low voice.

"Well... Xiuji should have arrived here three days ago, but I just asked the staff who came first and it seems that his condition is very bad."

Oni's expression was a bit wrong, but he still explained to Irie in a low voice.

"Xiuji seems to have contracted a serious cold while drifting at sea..."

"what!!"

Suddenly hearing the news, the smile disappeared from Irie's face.

Zong Yan, who was sitting across the aisle from them, also heard the news, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly with a strange expression.

Even if he got rid of the fear of airplanes, Shuuji Tanejima still couldn't get rid of the patronage of his illness...

At this time, Mifune Ido and Byodoin Phoenix also knew the news, and their faces suddenly darkened.

I received such bad news as soon as I got off the plane, which also cast a shadow over the Neon team's World Championship journey from the very beginning.

……

The biennial U-17 World Cup is one of the top events, no matter in terms of popularity or popularity.

Since it is a competition, business and sponsorship are naturally indispensable.

Also because it has attracted a large number of sponsors, the World Tennis Association and the organizers can make a lot of money every time.With this kind of funding, the organizers also provided comprehensive hospitality to the participating countries.

The representative team of each country lives on the first floor independently, and there is also a spare room for the players to use as a conference room.

However, Zongyan and his party did not pay too much attention to the luxurious living environment.

Instead, as soon as he arrived at the hotel to put down his luggage and asked Shuuji Taneshima's room number, Zong Yan, Irie Kazuki immediately came to visit.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a dark-skinned young man with white curly hair leaning on the bed, dripping in his hand.

At this moment, Shuji Taneshima lost all the high spirits he had before. He was very depressed, and he was still sweating on his forehead.

The sound of opening the door alarmed Tanejima on the bed. Seeing those familiar figures he hadn't seen for more than a week, he unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth, pulled out an ugly smile, and said in a somewhat labored tone:

"You guys... are finally here. I've been waiting for a long time."

"Tanejima, how is your body?"

Oni heard some difficulty in Taneshima Shuji's tone and asked directly.

Shuji Tanejima pointed to the needle and thread on his hand, looking weak, and told them clearly that his condition was very bad without saying a word.

This situation made the three of them frown. Zongyan did not expect that Shuji Taneshima was so seriously ill.

He is an indispensable force for the Neon team. Looking at it now, he can no longer be counted on?

The three of them didn't stay in Zaneshima's room for too long. After closing the door, they didn't look very good.

They came to this stage with great interest, but they didn't expect that Zaneshima's incident would give them a blow.

"Senior Oni, Senior Irie, you've worked hard all day, let's go to rest first, Senior Taneshima will get better."

Looking at the two frowning people, Zong Yan, the youngest, acted as a lubricant to reconcile their emotions.

The two nodded. There is really nothing to do about illness. They can only pray for Zhongjima to get better soon.

……

Neon meeting room.

After a short break, everyone except Shuji Tanejima was summoned to this temporary meeting room.

After all the people who should be there were present, Kurobe Yukio opened the door and walked in with Mifune Imito.

"Give me peace!"

Seeing the mess in the conference room, Mifune Irido, who was already in a bad mood, yelled, and everyone fell silent instantly.

Even high school freshmen who didn't know him well were overwhelmed by Mifune's ferocity.

"The new rules for this World Cup have come out."

"This World Cup competition adopts the cruelest round of challenge elimination system."

"The 32 teams that came to participate will divide the eight representative teams with the highest points into eight groups based on their previous points. The other teams will then conduct a group draw. After everything is confirmed, the group knockout round will take place."

"Select the team with the lowest points in the group to challenge the other teams in the group, and the winning team will continue to challenge the other teams until the final winner is determined, and then there will be a second round of quarter-finals!"

The three boats entered the road and said in a deep voice.

"Challenge the knockout round? Does the eliminated team still have a chance to participate in the resurrection?"

Zong Yan asked out loud.

"No!"

Kurobe shook his head: "Except for the organizer's French team, if the other teams are eliminated, they will be completely out!"

"Don't think of the weak!"

Mifune glanced at Zong Yan.

"Remember it all, this is the world! The world is very cruel!"

Zong Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't expect that the rules of this year's World Cup would be completely different from those two years later. Compared with the points system, this competition system is more cruel.
