Under the dual combination of hard training and actual combat, Edil Hyde, the son of Lucar who was a little sad, finally survived more than five months of hard training under the hands of Le Yuan, and when the time came to the end of May 1997, Le Yuan had already used his ability to use his ability to fight 7 percent of the contestants in the KOF competition against Edil Hyde.
Although Edil Hyde has never participated in a KOF tournament, his experience against enemies is no worse than those of his predecessors, and he may even have more experience against enemies.
However, after a long time of hard training, it still needs to come in handy to be able to show the results of many days of training, and the stage that can test the effect is the KOF competition.
After more than half a year, at the end of May, the enthusiasm that had already calmed down due to the end of the KOF96 tournament was once again ignited, and the news of the upcoming KOF97 tournament was spread around the world in just a few days, hosted by the Kagura Foundation and with the assistance of many other foundations around the world.
This time, the publicity efforts are directly expanded ten times compared to 96, and although the Kagura Foundation is the organizer, there are quite a few financial support consortia this time, and many consortia have seen so-called business opportunities at the KOF competition.
After KOF's regulars became known, there was basically no shortage of money for these martial artists, and all kinds of advertisers would automatically come to the door, and some would even be able to accept the advertisement.
Among them, the most famous is probably the clothing provider of each competition team, such as Athena Asamiya as a star, she is the most famous one, every piece of clothing she wore in the KOF competition was sponsored by a sponsor with a large amount of money, and even the company she signed with also vigorously packaged her during the KOF competition, and packaged her into the world's hottest singer in a short period of time.
And other advertisers are looking for a lot of business opportunities, Terry has already made a lot of money with a hat, and there is even a certain winery looking for Zhen Yuanzhai to represent the liquor brand, even Shijiquan Chong has a well-known bun for him to promote This kind of advertising is naturally not suitable for everyone, after all, people like Chen Guohan and Cai Baojian are criminals serving prison sentences, but their master Jin Jiapan and Sakazaki Takuma are very powerful people who open a gym, taking advantage of the current momentum to develop the original gym to ten times the original is not a problem, and even Kim Jiapan has become a national hero in South Korea, and Kusanagi Kyo has also become an idol of Japan's new generation, and the champion of the three-time King of Fighters competition is not a joke, his fame has broken through the sky.
However, after the announcement of KOF97, the global martial arts circle has already made a fuss.
For more and more martial artists, not participating in such a grand event would be a shame for their status as a martial artist.
And when they wanted to sign up for KOF97, they found that there was no way at all.
KOF97 has been held under the leadership of the Kagura Foundation, but it has not been explained what form of selection will take place.
"Hey, can the beauty give me that invitation behind you, it's a big deal that I will raise you for a lifetime, how about it" While Le Yuan put down his wine glass, he said to the boss Jin who had just returned from the back door, and in Le Yuan's perception, he had found the invitation letter of the female fighter team that had just arrived in the gold trouser pocket.
"Can you really afford to raise me" Jin didn't have the slightest shyness about Le Yuan's joke, as a bar owner, she is not the kind of little girl who will be made red by rumors and jokes, Jin is far more mature and stable than most people, "Besides, I have already made an appointment with someone, I don't plan to break the trust of others" "Then, you always have other channels to get this invitation" The person Jin said Le Yuan already had a guess, but more concerned than that person Le Yuan was about other channels to get the invitation to participate, "Don't tell me that all the contestants for this year have been decided, if that's the case, this time the competition will be much more disgraced" But after all, Kagura is a woman who is proficient in business, and she was the one who was appointed as the head of the Kagura family long before she became a shrine maiden of the Kagura family to replace her dead sister, and if it weren't for the mission to seal the Great Snake for her dead sister, I'm afraid she wouldn't have set foot in the fighting circle now.
The selection of KOF participants for this year's tournament is divided into two parts, one of which is the teams designated by Kagura, the organizer of the tournament, who can directly enter the main competition, and the strength of these teams has naturally been tested by time and recognized by the public.
All the teams that have participated in the main tournament of the previous KOF tournaments can get special invitations, such as the Japanese team led by Kyo Kusanagi, the angry team under Hardiran, the Kim team of Kim Jiapan, the Dragon and Tiger team of Ryo Sakazaki, the female martial artist team of Kim, the superpower warrior team of Jinmotosai, the hungry wolf team of Terry, and even the athlete team, Jace, Crowsa and other powerful people have received invitations to enter the official competition, but I don't know how many actually agreed to participate.
And to say that Kagura is proficient in business and quite skillful, it is because she has given enough face to the consortium that funded the independent KOF97 to do so.
It is naturally not possible to give these consortiums the same invitations as the official teams, but at this time, it involves another way of the selection competition, that is, the global audition.
Anyone who is willing to participate in the KOF competition will be able to participate in auditions held in June around the world, and those with good combat power will naturally be able to enter the official competition if they can pass the selection.
Each consortium has an invitation letter that allows the team they select to skip the initial audition stage and advance directly to the qualifier stage after holding the invitation letter.
When the audition is over, the organizer will gather the veterans who have passed the qualifiers to start the half-month preliminaries, and only the three teams that pass the final selection will have the right to compete with others in the official round.
"How about it, have you found a teammate, but you can't fight alone in the King of Fighters tournament?"
"That's not necessarily, strength is fundamental, 1v3 is not impossible.
But when it comes to teammates, I already have two candidates."
One is Edil Hyde, and the other is Gornic.
There are such two characters, Le Yuan doesn't feel that anyone can stop them before entering the official competition, but thinking of the troublesome audition Le Yuan has a headache, don't think about it, you know that even if the level of the people participating in the audition is not high, but it is also a very troublesome thing to go down the field, in the end, the invitation will be in hand anyway, this is a good thing to save trouble.
But without waiting for Le Yuan to make a move, Rose, the girl, did get the invitation first, and she got an invitation with the help of Bernstein's connections, and the 97 Demon Team was officially established.
The captain is naturally Le Yuan, and with Le Yuan's strength, it is no problem to sweep the current martial artists, and after a year of rest, his activity limit has been relaxed to 30 minutes, which is enough for him to solve all his problems.
Team members Edil Hyde and Gao Nike are also not dry meals, and for Le Yuan, there is no suspense before the entire 97 competition has even started. t1706231537:
