Chapter 376 The Competition Rules Suddenly Changed
Patricia and Matilda replied in unison,"Don't worry, Lord Enzo, we will give it our all."
Enzo then turned to Kosor, saying, "Kosor, make sure the prize money and rewards for the competition are arranged in time. We can't let them have any concerns."
Kosor reassured him, patting his chest,"Don't worry, Enzo, I'll take care of it."
After everything was arranged, Enzo finally let out a sigh of relief. He looked up at the sky and noticed it was growing darker. He turned to everyone and said, "Alright, it's getting late. Let's all get some rest. There are more challenging tasks awaiting us tomorrow."
With that, Enzo turned to leave. However, just then, a voice suddenly came from behind him. "Lord Enzo, please wait."
Enzo turned around and saw a middle-aged man in magnificent attire walking toward him with a smile. This man was Stephen Curry, the Chief Marshal of the Star League.
Enzo asked in confusion,"Mr. Stephen, is there something I can help you with?"
Stephen Curry smiled and said, "Lord Enzo, I've heard that the talented youth from Alfa Planet performed excellently in the competition. It's truly admirable. As a gesture of respect and thanks, I would like to invite you all to a celebration banquet. I hope Lord Enzo will honor us with your presence."
Upon hearing this, Enzo's heart stirred slightly. He knew that the banquet might not just be a celebration of victory. There could be other motives behind it. However, given that it was Stephen Curry's kind invitation, Enzo didn't want to outright refuse and simply nodded. "Alright, thank you for the kind invitation, Mr. Stephen."
Stephen Curry was delighted when he heard this. "That's wonderful, Lord Enzo. Please follow me."
With that, he led the way, taking Enzo and the others to a luxurious banquet hall. Inside, the hall was brilliantly lit, with a cacophony of voices. Guests from various planets had gathered to celebrate their victory.
Enzo and the others were seated in a prominent position, surrounded by participants and spectators from various planets. They were greeted with congratulations and respect from everyone, leaving Enzo and his companions feeling both honored and slightly overwhelmed.
The banquet proceeded with great joy and enthusiasm. Enzo and the others exchanged stories and experiences, learning about the cultures and customs of different planets. They felt the warmth of friendships from across the galaxy, further solidifying their resolve to bring honor to Alfa Planet.
However, just as the banquet was nearing its end, an unexpected announcement was made— the next round of the competition would adopt a brand new set of rules and format! The news shocked and stunned everyone present.
A sudden silence fell over the banquet hall as all eyes turned to Stephen Curry, waiting for an explanation.
Standing on a raised platform in the center of the hall, Stephen Curry smiled down at the crowd, exuding an air of confidence as though everything was under his control.
Stephen Curry began slowly, "Ladies and gentlemen, I know this news may come as a surprise, but please trust me, this decision has been made to ensure fairness and enhance the spectator value of the competition. In the next round, we will be introducing a completely new set of rules and a new competition format."
"A new set of rules and format?" Enzo frowned, feeling a mixture of confusion and unease. He couldn't help but wonder how this sudden change would affect the talented youths from Alfa Planet.
Stephen Curry nodded and continued, "Yes, a new set of rules. The next round will no longer be the traditional one-on-one duels. Instead, it will be a team competition. Each planet will send five contestants to form a team, and these teams will compete against one another."
Patricia exclaimed in surprise, "Team competition? Doesn't that make the competition even harder and more unpredictable?"
Stephen Curry smiled and nodded. "Exactly. The team format increases the difficulty and uncertainty of the competition. But it also tests the contestants' ability to work together as a team and adapt to changing circumstances. I believe this format will make the competition even more exciting and thrilling."
Enzo fell silent for a moment before asking, "What exactly are the rules for the competition?"
Stephen Curry took a document from a staff member nearby and handed it to Enzo. "Here are the detailed rules for the next round. You can take a look at it."
Enzo accepted the document and began to read it carefully. He quickly realized that the rules were complex and intricate, covering aspects like team coordination, tactical arrangements, and skill usage. A sense of worry filled him as he wondered whether the young talents from Alfa Planet would be able to adapt to these changes.
Looking at Enzo, Stephen Curry asked, "Lord Enzo, what do you think?"
Enzo set the document down and took a deep breath before replying, "The rules are definitely challenging, but the talented youths from Alfa Planet will give it their all."
Stephen Curry smiled and nodded. "I believe you will. However, I must remind you that these rules require a high level of overall ability from the contestants. You'll need to prepare thoroughly."
Enzo nodded in agreement. "We will. Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Stephen."
After the banquet, Enzo returned to the accommodation with the talented youths from Alfa Planet. They immediately began to carefully study the rules for the next round and discuss their strategies.
Scratching his head, Jordan said, "This rule is definitely a bit complex. But I believe we can overcome it."
Bruce Brown said firmly, "That's right. We are a team, and as long as we stay united, there's no challenge we can't face."
Kehl nodded as well. "Exactly. Not only do we need to improve our individual strengths, but we also need to strengthen our teamwork and coordination."
Raynaud furrowed his brow and added, "The rules demand a lot in terms of tactical planning. We need to study this carefully."
Liliana smiled and reassured everyone, "Don't worry, I believe with Lord Enzo's guidance, we will come up with the best possible tactics."
Enzo looked at the determined expressions on everyone's faces, feeling a warmth spread through him. He knew that, although this team was young, they were full of energy and potential. As long as they stayed united and worked together, they could overcome this sudden challenge.
Enzo said,"Alright, everyone, get some rest. Tomorrow, we'll start training for the new rules."
Everyone nodded in agreement and went off to their rooms to rest. Enzo remained in the living room, continuing to study the rules for the next round of the competition. As the team leader, he knew he had to fully understand the new rules to devise the best possible tactics and strategy.
The next day.
Enzo woke up early and headed to the training grounds. When he arrived, he found that the rest of the team was already there. They were gathered together, discussing the new competition rules, and the atmosphere was charged with excitement and determination.
Enzo greeted with a smile,"Good morning, everyone!"
The team members turned toward him, their faces lighting up with happy expressions.
"Lord Enzo, you're here!" Jordan was the first to approach. "We were just discussing the new competition rules."
Enzo nodded and walked over to join them. He picked up the rules document and began reading it carefully.
Enzo mused, "The team competition rules are indeed a bit complex. But if we study them well, we should be able to find a way to tackle them."
Patricia stepped forward and said, "Lord Enzo, I think we should start by analyzing the strengths and characteristics of the other planetary teams, then devise targeted strategies."
Enzo agreed with a nod. "Patricia is right. Knowing both ourselves and our opponents will ensure victory. Let's begin by analyzing what we know about the other teams."
With that, everyone gathered around Enzo and began discussing the other planetary teams in detail. They used the information they had to assess the strengths and weaknesses of each opposing team.
Bruce Brown said,"Betta planet's team specializes in fire magic and close combat. We need to be especially cautious of their flame attacks."
Kehl added,"The Gamma planet team is known for their long-range attacks and speed. Their archery is incredibly precise, so we have to be wary of their ambushes."
Raynaud analyzed, "The Delta planet team is famous for their shadow magic and stealth abilities. They might strike at us from the shadows with a deadly blow."
Liliana then spoke up, "And then there's Zeta planet's team. Their earth magic has strong defensive capabilities, so we need to find a way to break through their defenses."
Enzo listened closely to the team's analysis, his mind working through the possibilities. He stood up and said, "Alright, everyone's analysis is spot on. Now, let's move forward and develop our specific tactics."
Under Enzo's leadership, the team began to devise strategies for each opponent. They discussed how to allocate tasks, how to coordinate their offensive and defensive moves, and ran through simulation drills to practice their plans.
After a full day of hard work, the team finally devised a relatively complete tactical plan. Although time was tight, they were confident that, with unity and determination, they could overcome the challenge.
Looking at his exhausted team,Enzo said, "Alright, everyone, great job. Let's call it a day for now. Get some rest, we have one final simulation practice tomorrow."
The team nodded in agreement and went to their rooms to rest. Enzo, however, stayed behind at the training grounds, continuing to study the new competition rules. He knew that, as the team leader, he had to fully understand the rules to guide the team to victory.
The next morning, Enzo led the team to the training ground for their final simulation practice. They went through the planned tactics repeatedly, refining the details and making adjustments along the way.
"Everyone, focus on communication and coordination!" Enzo constantly reminded his team during the drills. "Only by working together can we defeat our opponents!"
