Chapter 879: Chapter 862: The Fish Hunter Club’s Unexpected Calamity

When everything was ready, the referee asked, "Next, will the representatives of the top-ranked clubs please come up to select the opponents for today’s captains? Twelve teams, the top six come forward!"

Hearing the announcement, Niu Ben walked up to the stage and stood together with the others.

The teams below the stage saw this scene and felt somewhat bitter; being chosen is like admitting you’re weak.

However, this mood didn’t last more than a few seconds before Niu Ben broke it.

He was the first to select an opponent, not choosing the expected twelve, but instead surprising everyone by naming Fish Hunter.

Upon hearing Fish Hunter Club being called, Fish Hunter Club’s captain Yu Wensheng felt his vision blur and his mind suddenly went blank.

The other clubs were in chaos; can selections be made like this?

"Aren’t the top six supposed to select from the bottom six? Can selections be done like this? Is this even following the rules?" Fish Hunter team’s leader Qian Bo couldn’t help but complain.

Hearing this, the referee confirmed the choice with Niu Ben, then nodded and said, "According to the rules, the team ranked first has the right of first choice,

as to who to choose, there’s no strict rule, as long as the other side agrees, choosing even the team ranked second is possible, the selection rights pass on in sequence!

If you have any objections to the competition, you can wait until it’s over to find the arbitration group to submit it!"

Now Yu Wensheng was silent, originally calculating that a weak team would remain, allowing a greater chance to advance, but being chosen at the start by Yuefeng’s Demon King team threw all plans into disarray.

"Alright, we accept the challenge from the opposing side!" Yu Wensheng helplessly nodded and stood aside.

With the selection right lost, nothing else could be done, the grouping completed, only waiting for the subsequent draw.

Except for Yuefeng team’s surprising choice, the other teams chose more predictably, mostly counting upwards from the last rank, a quick pairing of six teams was completed.

Once the lists were confirmed, the staff entered the challenge details into the computer, and soon the team leaders received a reminder on their WeChat to click for the draw.

Niu Ben clicked to confirm the draw, a few seconds later, a number appeared.

Number 6!

This determined the match location for Yuefeng Club versus Fish Hunter Club, situated at area number six, with the challenger on the left, and the challenged on the right.

After the first day of competition, the second day’s PK challenge spots were pre-planned.

Fishing spot number six overlaps with spots number one and two, located near the southwest corner entrance of the south bank, in fact, the six PK team spots were all chosen on the south bank, allowing comfort with tailwind and shade during the competition.

With their seat numbers confirmed, both competitors quickly began entering the arena.

As the first to enter, Zhao Ran, with a fishing box strapped and carrying equipment, confidently arrived at the seat and began pre-match preparations.

Compared to Zhao Ran’s composure, Fish Hunter’s team member Zhang Qiang was fairly nervous, watching Zhao Ran on stage for more than a minute before snapping out of it and frantically starting his preparations.

In fact, Fish Hunter Club isn’t exactly a professional club, the captain Yu Wensheng and leader Qian Bo merely dabble in competitive angling,

Yu Wensheng is originally a fishing gear shop owner, and Qian Bo is his senior brother, normally participating in nearby competitions and grabbing a few achievements here and there, the team only has five members,

the remaining three, Zhang Qiang, Liu Wenhua, and Zhou Qigang, are friends from recreational fishing at Black Pit, casually created the club, happy to qualify on the first day, but facing immense pressure on the second day’s competition.

Below the stage, Yu Wensheng felt regret seeing Zhang Qiang’s nervousness, wishing he had or let his senior brother Qian Bo start, having saved strength only to encounter Yuefeng Fishing Tackle, throwing yesterday’s meticulously planned strategies into chaos.

Still preparing on stage, Yue Feng started the live broadcast early.

Live stream title, Club League Divisional Second Day, Twelve Advances to Eight!

"Wow! Live now, early bird!"

"Saw the results in highlights yesterday, truly ruthless!"

"Amazing Brother Feng, club ranked first, overall weight ahead of second place Hua Clan by so much, ruthless!"

"How is the draw position today? Has the competition started?"

Yue Feng: "Good morning everyone! I’m Yue Feng, we drew position six! Actually, the position doesn’t matter much, results are only compared horizontally against the challenging team! Currently on the starting lineup is the club’s second-level competitive fishing master, Teacher Zhao Ran! As for the opponents from Fish Hunter Club, I’m not too sure about individual names!"

"Fish Hunter Club? How come we’re competing with them? According to the rules, we’re ranked first, shouldn’t we have priority choice? Isn’t Fish Hunter ranked fifth! Aren’t we supposed to choose from the bottom group?"

"Upstairs +1, were the rules changed? After yesterday’s results, we even discussed selecting the bottom-ranked Ju You Club in the group chat last night! Does Brother Feng have ties with them, letting them off?"

Yue Feng laughed: "Choosing Fish Hunter was because they’re a non-professional wild team, facing them early, after winning they’ll need to compete in the revival tournament, allowing us to learn more about the opponent!

Actually, this round as long as we qualify it’s good, not as crucial as everyone thinks! I’m not even participating today! Their five members continue competing!"

"Wow! Brother Feng is kinda harsh! Fish Hunter seems to be ranked fifth or sixth, chosen to face you, isn’t that tantamount to early elimination?"

"I bet Fish Hunter’s players felt like dying hearing this! Brother Feng is a bit ruthless!"

"Calling it ruthless might be an exaggeration, but it’s definitely difficult, failing to perform in the revival tournament might even prevent entry into the top eight!"

"I know Fish Hunter’s captain, Yu Wensheng, he’s a fishing gear shop owner here, really skillful, competes too! The club’s base is his shop, last time I visited, I even saw the sign hung up!"

"Honestly, the players from Brother Feng’s club, whether veterans or young anglers, are formidable!"

Yue Feng laughed: "Okay, it’s not as dramatic as envisioned, competition is all about results, collecting opponent’s information without taking more risks is crucial for victory!

The competition is about to start, today’s match will use a rare alternation relay mode, if anyone has questions, feel free to leave inquiries in the public chat, I’ll answer anytime! Additionally, during the broadcast, I’ll regularly offer raffles and other benefits, wishing the interested brothers good luck!"

A few minutes later, preparation time ended, upon the referee’s command, the second round’s first match, target fish weight competition officially began!
