There is nothing to say about the KOF97 knockout stage in other countries. The Yinnan organization, which had the idea of ​​casting a wide net, gave a considerable number of formal quotas according to the population and national strength of various countries. After the knockout stage was finally completed, all the formal teams gathered in Tokyo had a total of 320 participating teams.

As the boss who just became the sound nest, Liu Qi was also happy to see this situation. By the way, the organizer of the King of Fighters Competition began to make detailed arrangements to collect relevant combat data and blood genes of these fighters in the "King of Fighters" world, etc.

Yin Chao and Liu Qi, who are not short of money, are of course treated excellently by these thousands of fighters who are guinea pigs and test subjects. Except for local snakes and wealthy people like Kusuko, Kagura Chizuki, Yagami, and Sakaki, other contestants from all over the world provide free food and accommodation during the competition in top luxury hotels in Tokyo.

Of course, if you personally feel dissatisfied, you would rather go out and live and see the customs of Heguo. No one will stop you. As long as you arrive on time after the official competition begins, it will be OK. But so far, it seems that apart from the Three Artifact Family, the Banqi Family, and the Superpower Team, few teams choose to live outside, and even the special participating teams and the Hell Band have chosen to be in the hotel.

Following a large number of well-known fighters from all over the world is a large number of tourists. The government is happy and worried about hundreds of thousands of fighter enthusiasts and wealthy tourists from all over the country entering their country to drive economic consumption, but it is also a headache for the subsequent public security issues. The world-renowned main venue, such as the world-renowned main venue, can bring about economic benefits and invisible political benefits, but that refers to something that can only be considered when the King of Fighters Competition is successfully held and come to an end. If something goes wrong or something unexpected happens in the competition, it will be thrown into the international community.

So in Tokyo, all the police stopped taking vacations and began to work hard around the event of the King of Fighters 97!

***************************

After auditions and knockouts, the King of Fighters 97 finally held a grand opening ceremony in a giant stadium in Tokyo that can accommodate 100,000 spectators.

At the opening ceremony, after fireworks, band parades, speeches from the Prime Minister and representatives of the organizers, several faces and good talkative hosts began to announce the opening of the King of Fighters 97 competition to everyone on the central platform of the stadium!

After a brief opening speech, the hosts announced to the team of fighters and audiences on the stadium that the first day of the battle began half an hour later, and took the opportunity to announce the relevant rules of this King of Fighters Competition!

There are 320 teams in the King of Fighters 97 this time. Due to too many contestants, they are divided into 16 groups in the official competition. Each group randomly draws twenty teams of fighters, and then each group selects opponents by drawing lots. The group stage adopts the method of two wins in three games. Players can choose whether to continue fighting or substitute battles according to their own situation - of course this is for the winner. After two victories, the defeated side is eliminated, and the winning team advances to fight with the other winning team in the group until the last sixteen winning teams are selected to enter the finals below.

Because there are too many teams and the ability of the surrounding audiences to bear, there is also a limit on the time of the battle. A game only has ten minutes at most. As long as ten minutes arrive, no matter what level the players in the battle play, the game will be forced to end. Then the referee of the King of Fighters Competition will judge which team wins or draws based on the performance status of both sides in this battle. If there is a situation like one win, one loss and one draw, there will be an extra match to determine the team that advances to the next round.

After deciding these sixteen group winners, the next finals will be held, and the finals will be held based on 16-8, 8-8-4, 4-2, and finally the finals will be held to determine the team of King of Fighters.

The participating teams in the first three King of Fighters competitions were exempted from the initial auditions and knockout matches, and they only officially started to participate after the opening of the competition.

"No. 12 of Group 13, it seems that there is no one I know..." At the contestants' rest seat, Magong Athena looked at the group and team numbers that Liu Qi had just drawn, and then looked at the situation of the members of Group 13 displayed on a large screen recently. When she found that there was no one she knew, she couldn't help but mutter.

"Well, they are all separated..." Zhen Yuanzhai, who was drinking in small mouths, looked at the distribution on the big screen, and found that the teams of the previous three King of Fighters competitions did not appear in the same group but were scattered into various groups and understood something, but they didn't say much.

This secret operation trick that claims to be randomly assigned by computers can obviously not be hidden from anyone with discerning eyes, but I didn't even tell you "Qingren". After all, it's enough to know this kind of thing. There is no need to yell at the world. Anyway, it's in their interests. No one wants his team to face such powerful players as Kusukkai, Yagami, Sakazaki Ryo, etc., right?

"Who will come to us later?" Wang Yuyan didn't answer the words and said to the people around her.

"It doesn't matter, but my husband must be the first to go up..." Magong Athena was very sure of this question, because there were two females and an old senior in the Superpower Team. Who would be the first to go up? As for whether Liu Qi could beat him or not... This is very confident, including Zhen Yuanzhai. Even Wang Yuyan, who has the least combat experience, is sure to sweep, let alone a human-shaped monster like Liu Qi.

"Of course, we are the third game of the thirteenth group, at least an hour later..." Liu Qi, who had just returned from the lottery site, heard what Magong Athena said, and said directly and affirmatively, this is something he must do.

After all the groups were allocated, the formal competition began. A fighter who was famous for fame or money began to fight in the arena in the gymnasium, and everyone basically tried their best to fight! As for keeping up or giving in, who would be willing to fail and withdraw from the field that was so popular that he could stand in such a globally esteemed field? Therefore, the battles were extremely fierce. The losers were basically the lightest, all covered in bruises. It was the best result to be able to walk off the ring by themselves. There were many contestants who were carried out by medical staff while lying down...

Of course, the situation of the dead did not happen. Even the Three Heavenly Kings and others who had awakened to become the gods of the heavens did not kill people - killing the opponent directly deprived them of the next game.

Perhaps the more important reason is that the opponent I face is too weak and I really don’t want to kill him... Looking at a screen showing Chris in the Hell Band directly beat a wrestler’s opponent to a comminuted fracture and was rushed to the hospital, Liu Qi thought silently.

Now on the court, the legend of the Hungry Wolf in the original "King of Fighters" has become a Thai team composed of two Muay Thai masters led by Together, the members of the female fighter team have also become KING, Kagura Chizuru and Fujido Kamen. Apart from that, there are no other changes, at least most of the other teams have maintained their original lineup without substitution.

"Please go to the 6th arena in Group 13..." Suddenly, the voice of the members of the King of Fighters Competition Organizing Committee came from the liaison machine on the seat of the Superpowers, and the voice was repeated three times before stopping.

"Come on...husband..." Wang Yuyan shook her hand at Liu Qi with a smile, intending to watch the fun.

"Husband, come on..." Athena Mamiya looked at Liu Qi without any worries and said.

"Don't worry, it will be done soon..." Liu Qi shrugged, stood up and said to the two girls and Zhen Yuanzhai, then turned around and walked towards the scheduled competition venue.

*********************

"The rules of combat are that one party admits defeat or loses combat ability. The battle time is up to ten minutes. No hot weapons or killing is allowed. Are there any other rules... Ready? OK, 3, 2, 1! The game begins!!"

After seeing that Liu Qi was the only one on the ring, he was not surprised or inquiring anything. He just told the two people on the ring that they had said a line that they had said long ago, and then announced the start of the game.

"Fight!"

"Call it!"

"Kill that guy!"...

Because of the fierce competition for more than an hour before, the battles that looked extremely exciting and exciting made the atmosphere on the scene extremely enthusiastic. When the referee announced the start, the audience on the 6th arena or the audience staring at the TV are shouting, cheering for the party they are watching from time to time.

"Ha——" In this atmosphere, the first player sent by the fighter team that Liu Qi faced was the first black man who seemed to be African-American, directly carrying a steel chain as thick as an ordinary person's wrist, shouted, and directly stimulated the absolute domain. Then, while sprinting, swinging the steel chain shining with white light at Liu Qi.

Woo--

The steel chains poured into the absolute domain made a harsh whistle at high speed, and directly waved towards Liu Qi's shoulder.

"Bored..." Liu Qi ignored the ferocious black fighter opposite, and then squirted out two words and waved his hand.

Bang—

The black fighter was suddenly forced to stop when he was at least five meters away from Liu Qi, and then he flew backwards with a look of horror and fell heavily on the ring.

"Next..." Liu Qi looked at the other party who was still breathing and shouted directly to the referee who ran under the ring at some point.

"...Please let the next player of the No. 11 Lions team appear!" After a moment of froze, the referee, who did not expect the battle to end so quickly, rushed to the ring. After looking at the situation of the black fighter who foamed at the mouth, he began to shout to the two people from the South American fighter team named Lions.

Obviously, the remaining two fighters realized that they were definitely not Liu Qi's opponent after seeing their companions fail so easily. However, they were not willing to give in. So after a brief discussion, a fighter who knew that he was a typical South American mixed-race descendant jumped onto the ring and continued to fight against Liu Qi. For this guy who jumped up to die, Liu Qi said that it was the best way to put the other party early, so that he would save himself from being like bullying a child.

So a few seconds later, the member of the Lions team who came on stage fell to the ground and fell into a coma like the first black fighter. After a brief examination, he found that he had suffered a severe head injury and was sent to the hospital for free treatment. Yinchao also collected their genetic samples when he was free to provide medical services to injured fighters participating in the King of Fighters Competition.

After easily solving this passerby in the Lions team that did not appear in the "King of Fighters" series, Liu Qi returned directly and chatted with the beauty, and did not continue to pay attention to these three unlucky guys who actually reached more than 60% of the absolute field.

The official game lasted for three days before the teams of sixteen groups of the finals were decided.

There is no doubt that the teams of Kusachikyo, Yagami, and Kagura Chizuru were directly shortlisted for the finals. Then there were the three kings of the Hell Band, the Dragon and Tiger Boxing of the Sakaki family, the Korean team led by Kim Jiapan, the Thai team led by Dongjo, the Rage Team led by mercenaries, the "I" team led by Billy and the Superpower Team replaced, and other familiar teams.

The other six teams entering the finals are the Cavaliers representing England, the Giant Bears representing Russia, the Athletics representing the Americans, the Continentals representing the Celestial Empire, the Gauls representing France and a team called Nordics.

Unlike the "King of Fighters" game and comics, there are almost no national forces (except for the first session of the 94 King of Fighters) participating, the five major gangsters are unwilling to be defeated by such competitions, and at least they all sent a strong team to participate. After all, this is a matter of revealing their country's strong strength at the entire world level. How could the five major gangsters fall behind?

Both Yinchao and Liu Qi expressed their pleasure in this regard. After all, as the five major gangsters in the world of "The King of Fighters", how can they do without the bottom of the box? Even the United States, which has the deepest power in the sound nest, has the highest force that Yinchao cannot reach, and the other major gangsters also have their own ace troops. In this case, it would be good to see the quality of the force of each country.

Of course, Liu Qi's biggest goal this time to go home with Athena Mamiya is to see the Orochi, one of the top bosses in the world of "King of Fighters", rather than just fighting fighters from various countries. So after Liu Qi thought about it, the protagonist team, Hell Band, Eighth God Team, Female Fighter Team, etc. among the sixteen teams were separated and not encountered at the first time. At least they had to wait until the semi-finals to meet these teams.

"Tsk tsk...Gonitz's blood sample has been obtained, and the remaining three Heavenly Kings blood must be obtained, and the guy Big Snake..." Liu Qi looked at the battle table arranged under his instruction and sighed loudly, and at the same time, a very unscrupulous smile appeared on Liu Qi's face.

*********************

After deciding sixteen teams participating in the King of Fighters final, the organizing committee of the King of Fighters Competition allowed these teams to rest for two days to accumulate strength and do a good job of publicity, and then the highlight of the King of Fighters 97 competition - the final!

Although it was still held in the stadium during the official competition, the entire stadium's combat venue changed tremendously in just two days! The venue where more than ten small rings were originally placed was completely flat and emptied by the staff within two days, and replaced by a super-large ring with steel base marble floor.

At the same time, the battle time has been extended to fifteen minutes. Each team has now become an elimination after all three of them fail or abstains. However, other rules remain unchanged.

With countless cameras live broadcast, the final of King of Fighters 97 begins live broadcasting around the world!

The finals will be decided according to the progress of the first and second days, the semi-finals will be decided on the third day, and the candidates for the semi-finals will be decided on the morning of the fifth day. The team will first decide the third third team, and the finals will be decided in the afternoon.

Of course, according to Liu Qi's personal estimate, there is no need to wait until the day of the finals. As long as he makes a little move, he will arrange to meet Kusato Kyukyu or Kagura Chizuru with the Hell Band, Brother Big Snake will probably have to come early and stage a big drama of killing the world boss pretending to be X. Liu Qi did not advance this stage with a bad taste, but planned to kick out the unknown teams and then pass the real version of King of Fighters fighting, and then let the protagonists such as Kusato Kyukyu face the bleak life.

So under Liu Qi's arrangement, the Superpowers team members watched the fighting field play in the first day directly from the players' seat. As a result, the three Kura Zhijing, the South Korean team, the Hell Band and the Thai team, who ranked No. 1, won the promotion quota, and their opponents left after compensation of one million meters per team in the quarterfinals.

Liu Qi arranged for the Superpower Team to be the No. 9 team, and the opponent was the famous Dragon and Tiger Boxing Team. When Ryo Sakazaki saw this result, he deliberately waved his fist at Liu Qi, indicating that he must make good progress this time.

Liu Qi also accepted the invitation to the battle of Sakazaki Ryo and said that he would not show mercy.

So on the next day, Liu Qi, as the starting lineup of the Superpowers team, just walked on the ring under the referee's greeting, saw Sakazaki Ryo already standing on the ring with his eyes looking at him excitedly.
