What's more, if it was a match like before, it would just be an exchange of pointers regardless of the outcome. However, the nature of the match had changed. If they were to lose under such circumstances, it would only make Tianjing Academy feel even more ashamed.
Regardless of the opponent or the timing, it was simply unreasonable to the extreme.
Other than Laura, even Leo, who had always been interested in Wang Zhong, felt that Wang Zhong's suggestion was slightly inconceivable. However, at the same time, this matter was getting more and more interesting.
A faint smile appeared on Paul's face.
"Alright." In a casual manner, he said to Sully, "You can choose 4 squadron members to play with the Tianjing Squadron."
Leo could not help but sigh. Paul was still a very experienced person. However, if it was him, regardless of whether he had any prejudice against Tianjing Academy or Wang Zhong, he would definitely not choose to accept Tianjing Academy's challenge at this moment. That would be akin to sending them to their deaths, leaving no way out for them. This Wang Zhong seemed to be a little too impulsive. Or did he really have some sort of trump card?
Without a doubt, Paul's move was beautiful. Even if he won, he wouldn't say that they were bullying others. If they lost, it would be because he hadn't gone up on stage. At the very least, Tianjing Academy still had a chance. After all, they had defeated Adolf not too long ago. This was also one of the reasons why everyone was unwilling to spar with Tianjing. Other than Copperfield Academy, Austin Academy, and Saxon Academy, the other squadrons might not dare to pat their chests and say that they had a 100% chance of defeating Tianjing. There was no glory in defeating them, and if they were to capsize in an easy task, it would be a huge loss of face.
"So it's like that." Wang Zhong chuckled and rubbed his chin. "For the sake of fairness, I won't go up on stage."
Fair, fair …
Other than Laura, who was on the verge of bursting into laughter, everyone from the other squadrons felt speechless.
Sully rolled his eyes. This fellow was truly blindly narcissistic. That's Saxon Academy we're talking about, the boss of Eastern Area E, while you guys were only ranked 10th in Eastern Area A last year. Since the other party was giving way to you out of humility, yet you're unwilling to accept it and want to talk about fairness with them? You're fucking retarded!
You need strength to act pretentiously, brother!
Paul nearly laughed out loud.
Did this lowly thing not understand the situation?
He was a vengeful person. During the previous party, Wang Zhong's appearance had nearly ruined his future, causing Paul to hate him to the bone. Even after Cadillac contacted him and signed a sponsorship contract with the Saxon squadron he represented, it did not lessen the hatred he had for Wang Zhong.
Some people could bear a grudge for a lifetime over a small matter.
If it weren't for his tacit approval, did these people really think that Sully would have dared to act so presumptuously and provoke the other teams?
Even if Wang Zhong hadn't mentioned it, Sully would have found an opportunity to do so!
"Haha, it's just a spar. Captain Wang Zhong, feel free to do as you please." Paul smiled as he waved his hand. "Do I need to give you some time to prepare?"
"There's no need for that. The Tianjing squadron is ready for combat at any moment." replied Wang Zhong.
They're fighting! They're fighting!
In the short span of half an hour, news of the bet between the Tianjing and Saxon squadrons had already spread throughout the entire Copperfield Academy.
The usual exchanges between the squadrons of the various academies weren't hidden. Copperfield students who wished to spectate were free to do so. Due to there being quite a number of celebrity members in the various squadrons, there would be quite a number of people who would choose to spectate during their spare time. However, the maximum number of people would only be a few hundred.
But this time, it was different!
Saxon, who was known as one of the strongest academies, was actually going up against Tianjing, who was known as the lowest ranking academy. It was said that both sides were going to fight to the death!
For the students who had been painstakingly stuck in their boring classes, it wasn't easy to find something interesting to do. With such an interesting topic suddenly popping up, anyone would be interested in it.
Thus, from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, the entire Copperfield Academy became lively.
It was already evening and classes had ended. However, the students who heard the news quickly rushed over in twos and threes.
"Tianjing Academy is challenging Saxon Academy. I heard that the losing side will have to run three laps around Copperfield Academy naked!"
"What nonsense! Tianjing Academy has quite a few girls! Naked your sister! Normal people wouldn't think like that, alright? I've clearly heard that the captains of both squadrons bet ten thousand credits! "
"That's nonsense! It's definitely impossible for them to openly bet money. I've heard that someone from the Tianjing squadron was beaten up by the people from Saxon. The two groups are just looking for an excuse to start a group fight! The loser will have to kowtow a hundred times! "
"It doesn't matter what they're betting on. Is there something wrong with the brains of those people from Tianjing Academy? How amusing! That's Saxon, a powerful squadron that isn't much weaker than our Copperfield squadron! "
Tens of thousands of students quickly filled up the several entrances to the Copperfield Academy's group battle arena to the point that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
After all, this was the warlike Copperfield.
The arena was sufficiently spacious, with a few small hills standing horizontally across it, with a large pond dug deep in the middle. There were even some removable barriers set up within the arena. A clear Skylink projection hung in the air above the arena, displaying data and analysis from various aspects, providing the students with the most intuitive reaction to combat.
Although the decision to fight was made at the last minute, it could be seen that Copperfield Academy's efficiency was extremely high. Through the dissemination of information from the student union, almost all of the students who had free time arrived in a short period of time. Naturally, everyone's focus was on Saxon. After all, they were the tyrant of the eastern region.
At this moment, the entire arena was filled with endless buzzing noises. Truthfully speaking, as long as one had a slight understanding of the various squadrons of the eastern region, they wouldn't think that Tianjing's challenge to Saxon would be an evenly matched fight.
"Whether a squadron is strong or not doesn't depend on the sudden appearance of a powerful newcomer, unless it's a quasi Sanctuary Division expert like All Mouthy King. However, Tianjing clearly doesn't possess this point. Since they were able to defeat Adolf, it can only be said that Adolf is too weak."
"That's right. It's just the 3rd place of a small region. I've heard that the score is very close, 4: 3. Saxon isn't something that trash like Adolf can compare to."
"Haha, don't say such things about others. I'm just here to watch the excitement. Speaking of which, exactly what did they bet? I'm more concerned about that. "
"This sis is here to see a handsome guy! Ah, look, Garen! A bespectacled guy is the most gentle! "
"Captain Paul is the handsome one! Just sitting there gives off such an aura!"
"His figure is also good. Look at our Saint Paul's slender fingers. Oh my god, this sis feels like she could play with them for a year. He's not like that gorilla."
"Fuck, what kind of aesthetic standards do you bunch of bitches have? Captain Leo is clearly more manly!" A plump girl holding onto a large bag of popcorn, her eyes blazing with passion and fire. With great difficulty, her 150 kilogram body squeezed to the front, howling like a pig being slaughtered, "Captain Leo! I love you! You're the most handsome! "
Beside Leo, Burnell Barton couldn't help but snicker. Leo gave a violent knock on the head, causing the plump girl behind him to quickly turn into a love-struck fool. Shrieking, she said, "You're so handsome when you hit people! So manly! Captain Leo, please go out with me! "
"It's not easy, Old Lei. There's finally someone to confess to you! Take this! As a hot-blooded man, you must look straight at a beauty's request! "Garen couldn't help but laugh heartily.
Paul smiled faintly as he sat to the side. The atmosphere was very relaxed. Although he didn't feel that it was necessary, Tianjing Academy should be able to understand the disparity between them in the eyes of others, right? This invisible pressure was much stronger than the pressure brought about by the 'cheers' of the enemy. He looked at Wang Zhong, who was not far away from him.
Wang Zhong was also in the viewing gallery. Laura was unexpectedly by his side. In fact, from the moment Wang Zhong had returned, Laura had been following him like a specter, making the two appear to be very familiar with each other.
"Wang Zhong, can you really not go up? Although Sully is a little annoying, he still has some strength." Laura sized up Wang Zhong with interest, as if she was looking at a big toy.
Wang Zhong rubbed his nose. "Captain Laura, it's fine to just wait and see."
"How confident. Then I'll wait and see." Laura didn't know where Wang Zhong's confidence came from.
Paul's eyes flashed. His opponent doesn't seem to be serious. Is he going to go all out? What if all five of them are crippled?
Paul really wanted to see if Wang Zhong would still be able to laugh at that time.
"They're coming out!" Someone shouted. The two squadrons participating in the group battle walked out from the preparation area.
This kind of group battle was different from the main competition. It didn't follow the rules of the main competition. Instead, both squadrons would send five people each and engage in a five-on-five group battle.
As soon as the Saxon players walked out, the viewing gallery erupted into cheers. As the third place in the eastern region last year, Saxon had many opportunities to show their faces in various official events. Due to the celebrity effect, almost everyone knew who they were. Just randomly pick one out and everyone would be able to recite their name, occupation, and other characteristics with great familiarity.
Vice-captain Sully, second year, an extremely powerful assassin with the wind attribute. He was an absolute genius and one of the strong contenders for the Rookie King of the eastern region last year. It was under his strong support that Paul had the opportunity to rush to the third place in the eastern region.
Tamir, third year, Saxon's main assassin, and the last of the three great figures in the squadron. He didn't have much of a genius aura and was mediocre when he debuted in Saxon Academy. It was only last year that he began to shine. His foundation as an assassin was incomparably solid, and he was also a top-notch expert in the areas of trap making, reconnaissance, and anti-reconnaissance.
Yan Dong, Feng Zhan, third year, Saxon's Twin Assassins. They were extremely proficient in teamwork. It was said that being pincered by these two was no less dangerous than going head-on against the strongest Paul! They had entered the Saxon squadron at the same time as Paul and had always been the main assassins of Saxon Academy. The squadron's famous Phantom Dance Formation was largely driven by Yan Dong and Feng Zhan as the core of the Twin Assassins.
The fifth was Man Lu, third year and the only substitute. An assassin with a pair of black-rimmed glasses was a rare sight. He was the best sixth player in the squadron, a jack of all trades who excelled in coordinating with anyone.
"They've actually sent out such a strong lineup. Although Paul isn't participating, such a lineup is already able to display 80-90% of their strength." said Leo with a smile. "Saxon makes it sound so easy, but it looks like they're really serious about it."
"That's for sure. Strategically, they'll look down on their opponents, while tactically attaching importance to them. That fellow Paul won't make any low-level mistakes." said Galen as he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "Compared to them, Tianjing's side is much easier to guess. Captain Wang Zhong isn't participating, and that heavy soldier called Barran is injured and definitely won't be able to participate. Coupled with that healing special ability, there's only six people left in the squadron of nine.
"Speaking of which, the Tianjing squadron does indeed have quite a few members, and few choices. That's right, there's a lot of women!" said Captain Andy of Laeanne Academy with a hearty chuckle. "Look, they've come out!"
The captains continued to chat as if no one else was present. Laura sized up Wang Zhong, who still had an expressionless face. Could it be that he didn't want to refute her words? This caused Laura to feel slightly anxious for him. This fellow's patience was just like an old man's.
Wang Zhong didn't care about it. It wasn't that he was patient, but that he was extremely clear about the current situation. Trying to explain would just be a struggle, a display of weakness. Combat was the best answer.
The Tianjing squadron walked onto the stage. In an instant, the originally noisy arena turned completely silent.
The audience's understanding of the Tianjing squadron was extremely shallow. Other than the various squadrons that were in the same class, the majority of the Copperfield Academy students had never seen the members of the Tianjing squadron before.
However, it was easy to imagine. Tianjing was ranked tenth in last year's eastern region A region. Furthermore, they were from a place like Tianjing that focused on logistics and combat. No matter what kind of weird looking fellows they sent out, no one would be too shocked. However …
Walking at the front of the five-man squadron was Grai.
"This boy …" All of the girls in the arena turned silent.
There was a type of handsomeness that could shake one's soul, and a type of handsomeness that was carved into one's bones and heart!
If Garen was a handsome guy, and Paul was a super handsome guy, then the current Grai could no longer be described as handsome. He was the perfect prince in the hearts of women!
That tall and straight figure, that handsome face, that calm demeanor, that enchanting smile, and most importantly, the way he walked. Every single one of his movements radiated the aura of a prince that possessed an outstanding bloodline. This was definitely something that could only be nurtured for three generations!
At this moment, everyone felt that the legendary Yan Jing Four Young Masters, Skylink Fresh Meat, OP's Romantic Bro, and even the legendary Kaiser Empire's Prince Solomon, who was said to be so handsome that it could shock the entire Federation, would all be turned into dregs in front of Grai!
Beside Wang Zhong, Laura could not help but ask, "Wang Zhong, where did you find such a handsome freshman?"
Student Wang Zhong felt helpless. Grai really was able to kill everyone no matter where he went. Was he really that handsome? Fortunately, Laura wasn't the love-struck type. If not, he would have a slight headache.
Beside Grai were the other four members of the Tianjing squadron. Dressed in Tianjing Academy's silver uniform, Scarlet, Milami, Emily, and Lily … instantly ignited the fervor of the male Copperfield compatriots.
"That girl's chest isn't small either …" said someone as he stared at Milami's chest while drooling. "Her face isn't bad either!"
"Fuck, I like that little loli! What a cute expression! Who's that little loli? "
"Isn't that Scarlet at the front? I've heard that she's the granddaughter of Tianjing Academy's headmaster Greene. Other than her chest being slightly smaller, I feel that she's on the same level as our goddess Laura! "
(Comrades, have a good weekend! I'm begging for a monthly ticket! Thank you!)
