"call--"
When Qian Kailei said he was going to give up, the spectators on the sidelines sighed and exclaimed in disbelief.
Although they felt despair for Qian Kailei in their hearts just now, they thought that Qian Kailei might just give up the game.
But when they really heard Qian Kailei give up, they still found it hard to accept.
You know, the city they are in now is Shanghai, which is one of the cities with the highest level of tennis in the entire Dragon Country.
Qian Kailei is also one of the representative players of Shanghai.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would have been hard for them to believe that the top four contestants from Shanghai were forced to surrender the game by an eliminated contestant from another city without even having to play two games.
This kind of thing is simply too unbelievable.
But because they had seen it with their own eyes, even if they didn't want to believe it, they could only admit that Zhou Ran's strength was indeed strong enough.
At the same time, more and more spectators on the sidelines began to pull out their phones and search for Zhou Ran's city to find out who the 04th player in the semi-finals would be.
They really wanted to know why a player of Zhou Ran's strength had to come to the Magic City to participate in the challenge competition.
As the spectators on the sidelines continued searching, they discovered something that shocked them.
That is, they saw that Zhou Ran was not the unsuccessful contestant from his city, but the champion from the neighboring city.
They also saw that in the previous competitions, Zhou Ran used many more powerful moves.
A brown bear caught in a net, a white whale, and a missing serve...
One trick after another kept appearing on the spectators' mobile phone screens, and the effects of each trick shocked their eyes.
"This...this guy is so strong..."
"Haha, it seems Qian Kailei's loss wasn't unfair!"
"But why is Zhou Ran so strong? How did he come up with these special moves?"
"Yes, Zhou Ran not only came up with these tricks, but he was also able to use them on the court... Genius! I actually looked down on a genius just now... I really am a clown..."
"But then again, Zhou Ran is clearly the champion of Lincheng City. Logically, he should be representing Lincheng City in the competition. Why did he come to our Magic City to participate in the challenge?"
When everyone was shocked by the power of the moves Zhou Ran had demonstrated before, someone suddenly asked a key question.
As the champion, why did Zhou Ran come to Shanghai instead of representing his own city in the competition?
After someone asked the question, no one continued to discuss the answer.
As people from Shanghai, they had seen many challengers coming to challenge before, and the reasons for the challenges were naturally varied.
After everyone became so knowledgeable, they could naturally guess that a genius like Zhou Ran would definitely not be willing to act according to other people's wishes.
However, relationships in small cities are often complicated. Perhaps the local leaders wanted to force Zhou Ran to do something he was unwilling to do, so Zhou Ran gave up Lincheng City and came to the Magic City in anger.
However, regarding these speculations, everyone only dared to think but not speak out.
This kind of thing is a bit sensitive and too private.
If Zhou Ran didn't want to say anything, they would definitely not ask any more questions. They still understood the social etiquette.
"Who will be challenged next?"
When Qian Kailei admitted defeat and Zhou Ran won the first challenge, he saw that all the spectators on the sidelines were playing with their mobile phones and the referee was slow to announce the start of the next challenge, so Zhou Ran hurriedly urged them to hurry up.
According to what Zhao Qianguang said before, in order to successfully represent Magic City in the competition, he must win two challenge games.
Now that he has defeated Qian Kailei, he still needs to defeat another representative player from Magic City, and then he can officially represent Magic City in the competition.
In order not to waste time, he wanted to finish the game quickly.
After Zhou Ran finished asking, the spectators who were playing with their phones on the sidelines quickly put away their phones, their eyes dull, looking at each other.
If Zhou Ran had only shown the strength he had just shown on the court, perhaps the people on the sidelines would still think that there should still be a second challenge match.
But now, after they learned about Zhou Ran's past competition history and strength, they only had one thought in their minds.
Next?
What a ghost!
If they had known that Zhou Ran possessed such terrifying strength, they would definitely not have sent Qian Kailei to compete, and would have directly let Zhou Ran replace one of the top four players to become one of the official players of Demon City.
The fact that Qian Kailei competed with Zhou Ran without knowing it only meant that Qian Kailei was unlucky.
At this time, the other three contestants from Demon City on the sidelines had the same thought in their minds.
Now they are very lucky, but also very scared.
If they had not held back and rushed onto the court to compete with Zhou Ran before Qian Kailei, they would be the ones eliminated now, and they would also be the ones experiencing the same despair as facing Zhou Ran on the court.
So now they were extremely grateful that they had resisted the urge to compete with Zhou Ran first.
After all, after seeing the strength Zhou Ran had just displayed on the court, as well as Zhou Ran's past strength, they all thought that the strength they showed in front of Zhou Ran might not be as good as Qian Kailei's just now.
"Hahaha, contestant Zhou Ran, your strength truly impresses us. On behalf of the Magic City Education Bureau, I formally invite you to represent Magic City in the upcoming national competition. Are you willing?"
After Zhou Ran asked the question, the 833 spectators on the sidelines were stunned at first, and then a middle-aged bald man with a big belly came up to Zhou Ran quickly with a smile on his face and extended an invitation to him.
This person is obviously a staff member of the Demon City Education Bureau.
He came here today on behalf of the Magic City Education Bureau to inspect the strength of the challengers on site.
If there is a challenger with extraordinary strength, then he will formally invite the challenger to represent Magic City in the competition on behalf of Magic City Education Bureau.
However, this staff member did not think that such a challenger would appear before coming.
Because he has been doing this job for several years, and in all these years, no challenger has been able to replace the contestants from Magic City to participate in the competition.
After all, the high level of tennis in Magic City is not something that the tennis players who failed to be selected from other cities can covet.
But today something unexpected happened, and he actually discovered a genius like Zhou Ran.
According to the regulations, two challenge matches are indeed required, but at this time the staff member can be 100% sure that even if there is another challenge match, Zhou Ran will still win.
He also didn't want to miss out on a strong player like Zhou Ran.
He seemed to have seen that in the upcoming national competition, Zhou Ran would represent Demon City to defeat the Imperial City, which they had never defeated before, and win the championship in one fell swoop.
That's why he quickly extended an invitation to Zhou Ran.
Chapter 59 The list is announced, where is Zhou Ran?
"call--".
When the Magic City staff officially extended an invitation to Zhou Ran, the spectators on the sidelines once again exclaimed in amazement.
Before this, not only had the staff of Magic City never seen a challenger successfully obtain a spot to represent Magic City in the competition.
Even ordinary audiences have never seen it.
So when they saw that Zhou Ran could actually represent Demon City as a challenger in the upcoming national competition.
This was also a witness to history for them, so how could they not be surprised and surprised.
Of course Zhou Ran did not refuse the staff's invitation and quickly agreed.
He originally thought that there would be a second challenge, but now the second challenge was skipped, which made him feel a lot more relaxed.
So he quickly accepted the invitation from the staff of the Education Bureau of Magic City and officially became one of the four representative players of Magic City.
When Zhou Ran officially obtained the place, the expression on Zhao Qianguang's face next to him could not calm down for a long time.
You have to know that before this, he just wanted Zhou Ran to come to the Magic City to give it a try. Of course, he also knew that although the challenge competition has always existed, no one has been able to succeed.
So before, he just provided Zhou Ran with a method, and did not think that Zhou Ran would definitely succeed.
So when Zhou Ran finally succeeded, he was still a little dazed.
But after a moment of trance, he quickly regained his composure.
Because Zhou Ran has brought him too many surprises, and now Zhou Ran has made history by successfully representing the Magic City as a challenger. Although this is exaggerated, Zhao Qianguang is slowly accepting it.
After accepting it, Zhao Qianguang became very excited.
Because he knew that with Zhou Ran's strength, he would definitely show his prowess in the upcoming national competition.
Before, he didn't dare to hope that Zhou Ran could win the national championship, but now he thinks that there might be a slight possibility of such a thing.
Then, he will accompany Zhou Ran to witness Zhou Ran's journey in the national competition, to witness whether the possibility he has in his mind can be realized in reality.
Although the summer vacation lasts for three months, the process of the national competition is also very complicated.
So after Zhou Ran officially obtained the spot to represent Demon City in the competition, he spent the next few days going through the procedures.
The process of designing team uniforms, taking makeup photos, submitting quotas, etc. even made Zhou Ran feel a little tired.
But during this process, Zhou Ran still had to sigh that the unspoken rules of this world were so powerful.
In just a few days, the staff of the Demon City Education Bureau issued a transfer certificate for him.
Now, he is an official transfer student of a high school in Magic City, and he can also represent Magic City in the competition openly.
If it was just an ordinary transfer, Zhou Ran would not think it was such an exaggeration.
The key point is that now that the college entrance examination is over, he should have graduated from high school.
But after graduation, he could actually transfer schools. He had never heard of such a thing before.
Although this kind of thing is exaggerated, Zhou Ran doesn't care.
As long as he can participate in the next national competition with a legitimate reason, he will not think too much about anything exaggerated.
After all, he knew that there were many more unspoken rules in this world that were even more exaggerated than this kind of thing, and it was just a matter of transferring schools, so it was not worth paying attention to.
After all the procedures were prepared, the Education Bureau of Magic City announced to the public the relevant information of the next four players who would represent Magic City in the competition.
This is a normal process. Before the national competition begins every year, each city will announce the information of the next players to participate in the competition to the public on its official website.
However, the information of players from most cities will not be paid attention to.
However, in big cities with high tennis levels, especially Shanghai and Beijing, whenever the players' information is released every year, it will attract considerable attention and sensation at the social level.
So when the official website of Magic City just announced the relevant information of Zhou Ran and other four contestants in the upcoming national competition, many marketing accounts and news reporters immediately reposted it.
Similar to the Magic City, the information of the four players in the Imperial City was also being circulated crazily.
In previous years, the popularity of news in this area in the capital was much higher than that in the Magic City.
Because although the Magic City and the Imperial City are known as the two cities with the highest level of tennis in Dragon Country.
But the strongest is still the imperial capital.
In the past few decades, all the champions of the national competitions came from the Imperial Capital. The Magic City always came in second and had never defeated the Imperial Capital in the national competitions.
Therefore, as the second-largest city for a thousand years, the news about tennis is naturally not as good as that of the big brother, the capital.
But the situation this year is somewhat different. The number of reprints of news related to Shanghai seems to have surpassed that of Beijing.
Because netizens discovered that the information of the four players announced by Magic City this year is different from the four semi-finalists of the Magic City High School Tennis League that just ended.
There was unexpectedly a new contestant named Zhou Ran.
The high school tennis league in Shanghai is very popular, and many viewers have watched it before.
There have even been live broadcasts in some live broadcast rooms.
Therefore, netizens were very familiar with the information about the top four contestants in Magic City before. They were very surprised when they saw a strange contestant named Zhou Ran suddenly appear.
As for the sudden appearance of this additional player, the official website of Shanghai gave the following explanation.
Because of Zhou Ran's family reasons, he needs to transfer to Shanghai.
Zhou Ran was also a champion in his previous city. After the selection competition in Demon City, it was discovered that Zhou Ran's strength was enough to replace one of the original top four.
That's why Zhou Ran became one of the players who would represent Magic City in the national competition.
Netizens certainly did not want to believe the explanation given by the official website of Magic City at first, and they had all kinds of speculations.
However, the authorities often remain silent on such criticism.
As long as there is no official response, any speculation by netizens will be in vain and will not change any results.
Therefore, no one can change the fact that an unfamiliar player like Zhou Ran will represent Magic City in the upcoming national competition.
Seeing that the official had not responded yet, netizens' discussions about Zhou Ran gradually changed direction.
Everyone began to speculate, with Zhou Ran joining, can Demon City defeat the Imperial City this year?
