This was what Milami's father had always said: Diligence is also a type of talent! Furthermore, it's the most permanent talent!
She had always wanted to prove this point, but in this world filled with geniuses, it was impossible. That was until Wang Zhong's appearance.
Who was the most important person in this duel?
Without a doubt, it was Milami. She had come to Tianjing alone for three years, and had always been serious. Who would have thought that she was also the successor of the Apollo Family? Regardless of what others said, she had always persisted in her own hard work.
Now was the time to reap the rewards!
Some people were suited for duels, while others were suited for group battles. That was Milami!
To a large extent, the combination of Milami and Scarlet was a notch higher than Wang Zhong and Scarlet.
The two of them only needed a single glance to know what the other party wanted to do.
On the large screen in the stadium, a large red cross had appeared above Feng Zhan and Yan Dong's names.
The question was, why didn't Milami or Scarlet have the slightest intention of interfering with Grai? The two of them were actually supporting Emily and Lily. That was because, at this moment, Tamil had started to shamelessly wander around after realizing that he was unable to fight against the two of them. However, was this really alright?
Laura was almost unable to restrain herself from asking. What kind of squadron was this? Why were they so 'emotional'? Why did they look so highly upon Grai?
Nevertheless, Sully and Man Lu's combined attack seemed to be unable to take down Grai. This prince-like boy continued to gracefully restrain Sully and Man Lu. Although the situation on the stage had changed drastically, Sully and Man Lu were completely unable to extricate themselves.
Sully was very clear about the situation on the stage. He was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. How did this happen?
Did those two bastards play too much yesterday? How did they get eliminated in a single exchange?
With the four of them surrounding Tamil, this fellow had become a grasshopper in autumn. His only 'advantage' was him and Man Lu. However, why was this frail-looking fellow so difficult to deal with!
The Copperfield girls in the viewing gallery were all shouting out Grai's name, as though they were mocking Sully. Sully cared about his face and reputation. What he couldn't stand the most about women was this.
Acting cool in front of a woman was supposed to be his right! Once upon a time, when he appeared, he would often be surrounded by screams of women. Along with the halo and titles of 'Rookie King Contender', 'Strongest Rookie', and so on, he was also the focus of all the spotlights. But now, he had become a foil to someone else. Furthermore, it was a man who suppressed him in all aspects, be it looks, strength, or temperament!
No wonder! No wonder Hymin had an indifferent look on her face when she heard about his reputation! No wonder she would like this pretty boy! Such a person was basically the public enemy of all men in the world!
Sully wanted to go crazy! He wanted to go crazy! At this moment, he simply didn't have a path of retreat! He really wanted to devour Grai's flesh and blood!
"Man Lu, join forces and send him on his way!"
His attacks, which had become a little messy due to Manlu's provocation, were quickly retracted. They turned into disorderly cold glints that danced in the air, as if they were easy to dodge. Together with Man Lu, who was charging towards him, they instantly formed a pincer attack.
At the same time, Man Lu brandished his shuriken, adding a strange supplement to Sully's seemingly easy to dodge attack. At the same time, Sully and Man Lu's left hand simultaneously released a black light that filled the sky.
Heaven and Earth Net — Death Killing Array!
Naturally, hidden weapons were one of the specialties of assassins. However, hidden weapons were forbidden to be used in a normal duel. This was something that was commonly agreed upon. Yet, Sully and Man Lu had actually used extremely lethal hidden weapons in a normal duel …
Gasps of astonishment rang out across the entire stadium as everyone's gazes converged onto the stage. Not a single one of them had imagined that Saxon would actually drop his status to actually use hidden weapons in a duel against Tianjing. Just how much of a coward did he have to be to have such little confidence in himself?
Indeed, Leo and the rest were expressionless. Grai's strength had already attracted their attention, and could even be considered as a hindrance. Sully's move could be called preemptive extermination. This special steel needle, coupled with Soul Power stimulation and technique, could break through Soul Power defences. Even if Grai didn't die, he would still be heavily injured.
Although it was a little 'despicable', it couldn't do anything to Sully and the rest.
However, at this moment, Grai's figure suddenly started to rotate. Not only did he rotate, he even seemed to sway, forming an illusion of extreme distortion. It was as if there was a problem with the space he was in.
In an instant, countless banging sounds rang out across the entire stadium … Grai appeared to be enveloped in a white spiral of light. Suddenly, a dazzling white light blossomed out, instantly blossoming into millions of sword rays!
In an instant, countless banging sounds rang out across the entire stadium … Grai appeared to be enveloped in a white spiral of light, before instantly blossoming into millions of sword rays!
Sword slash combat technique — Soaring Dragon Flash!
Snowy light like a ray, hidden dragon soaring into the abyss!
The dazzling brilliance blossomed, enveloping the entire stadium. Other than a few people, the majority of the audience could not help but close their eyes due to the intense light. By the time the intense light dimmed down, the duel had already ended.
Sully and Man Lu's bodies were riddled with holes, especially Sully, whose face looked like a porcupine, covered in steel needles. Man Lu's situation was slightly better, but only slightly better.
Grai pointed the tip of his longsword towards the ground, appearing abnormally calm. A sliver of gentleness could be seen in his gaze, though he didn't hold back in his attacks. In a duel like this, one would have to bear the consequences of using hidden weapons. If not for Grai's strength being sufficiently strong, his fate would not be as simple as disfigurement.
Having ended the duel, Grai didn't pay any attention to the two. Instead, he confidently looked to the side. This group battle was about to end.
Laura had a look of disbelief on her face. There weren't many people who were able to clearly see Grai's moves. That gorgeous eruption at the end didn't count for much. What was frightening was his opening move. He had used his Soul Power and physical skills to form a spiral in an instant, and was actually able to pull all of the hidden weapons and attacks together. This fellow's control over his Soul Power was absolutely top-notch. Just this move alone was something that not many people in the entire Eastern Academy were capable of. What's more, his opponent had used their hidden weapon killing array first, while Grai had taken the initiative to strike first.
That was an assassin's combined hidden weapon killing array, and its activation speed was extremely fast. From the moment the attack was launched to the moment it landed, not even a second was needed. Yet, that frightening fellow was actually able to execute such a perfect counterattack even after his opponent had made the first move. This reaction speed, coupled with his perfect control over his Soul Power, would not be a problem for him to kill his way into the top ten of the Eastern Academy!
Surrounded by the four girls, Tamil was already dumbfounded by what he saw. In the blink of an eye, he had given up all resistance. Only when the names of the 5 Saxon Academy squadron members were crossed out by a red cross did the entire stadium erupt into excited screams.
Their opponent was Saxon, yet Tianjing Academy had actually won. What's more, they had won in such a clean and direct manner. That's why they were able to defeat Adolf. It wasn't luck, but Tianjing's strength!
Tianjing's counterattack, and Saxon's fall from grace. Fortunately, captain Paul did not take action, allowing Saxon to retain some of their dignity.
Furthermore, Grai's performance was too dazzling, so much so that it caused people to overlook the fact that Saxon, who was supposed to be the main character, had lost this match. While everyone was discussing Grai and Tianjing's backstage duo, Saxon's embarrassment had been reduced to the lowest point.
"Is that fellow really a freshman?" Arnold Teuton could not help but ask.
Just based on Grai alone, any academy would be able to immediately rise to the ranks of the powerful squadrons. What's more, they still had such an explosive backstage duo. That's right, they even had a captain that even Arnold couldn't understand. If someone were to say that Grai was a rookie, Arnold wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death. How could a rookie cause such a terrifying freshman to be so respectful and courteous in front of him?
Fuck! Why didn't my academy have such luck? Grai seemed to be a freshman, right? If he had joined Copperfield Academy, coupled with Laura and myself, then …
At this moment, Laura was slightly dazed.
Had her brain gone haywire? Why did she feel that this Grai was slightly similar to All Mouthy King? His superhuman reflexes, perfect control over his Soul Power, and especially that final big move. Laura clearly remembered that Grai had made some movements with his feet. That was All Mouthy King's signature Ghostly Steps!
Brother King's Ghostly Steps were currently very popular within the academies. There were many people who wanted to imitate it. However, none of them had succeeded in adding the swaying feeling of brother King into the orthodox Ghostly Steps! Ghostly Steps were Ghostly Steps. It was extremely difficult to maintain one's balance while moving at an incomparably fast speed. Under such circumstances, you still want to sway? You might as well go and play rock and roll!
However, Grai had done it just now.
What's more, when All Mouthy King was fighting in the OP today, this Grai wasn't in the Wild Beast Society. He had only rushed over after receiving Scarlet's Skylink after Barran was injured.
There were two main reasons why she had determined that Wang Zhong was All Mouthy King. The first was because Wang Zhong had evaded her Soul Bear's Ghostly Steps. The second was because he had appeared at the right place at the right time. Originally, she had firmly believed that Wang Zhong was All Mouthy King. However, from the looks of it … this Grai seemed to be a possibility as well!
"Captain Wang Zhong." Laura looked at Wang Zhong with a serious expression. "Exactly how did you guys find such a fellow?"
Wang Zhong smiled but didn't say anything. It seemed that this matter had nothing to do with him. Wang Zhong's expression, which seemed to be asking for a beating, caused Laura to feel slightly discouraged. She had already 'crossed swords' with Captain Wang Zhong three times, yet she hadn't been able to get anything out of his mouth. She had relied on her identity and other such things, but they were completely useless in front of this captain Wang Zhong.
However, Wang Zhong's smile stimulated Laura. She was probably thinking too much. There was still a huge difference between Grai and All Mouthy King. Just a single Ghostly Steps didn't mean anything. There were quite a few people who could imitate it.
The key was temperament!
Grai had the air of a prince, exuding an air of elegance and superiority. All Mouthy King, on the other hand, had a silent and domineering air. The two's styles were completely different. On the contrary, when Wang Zhong had mocked Paul and said he wanted to be fair, thinking about it, he did give off a slightly domineering feeling.
As she thought about it, Laura shook her head. Recently, All Mouthy King had almost made her go crazy.
At this moment, the people in the arena had already started to leave.
Feng Zhan, Yan Dong, and Man Lu were still in good condition, having only fainted from the powerful attacks. The one in the worst condition was Sully. Not only was his face disfigured, both of his arms had been broken at some point in time, causing him to howl miserably in pain. Tears and snot flowed all over the ground, causing anyone who saw him to feel their blood run cold. Those with trypophobia didn't even dare to look at him. It seemed that this CHF would be a difficult match for them.
Did that Grai do it on purpose?
Even if he did, Sully deserved it. Although the Saxon squadron was filled with jealousy and hatred, they didn't voice it out. After all, this was Copperfield. If they said that the other party was ruthless, they would only lose even more. After all, they were the ones who had unleashed those hidden weapons. It was already good enough that the other party didn't make a fuss about it.
In fact, Paul didn't have a sour expression on his face. On the contrary, he had a smile on his face. It wasn't a fake smile, but it wasn't a happy one either. It was just a calm smile, as though the group of people who had lost weren't his squadron members.
"Captain Wang Zhong, that Grai of yours is very outstanding. I haven't seen such a strong freshman this year." Paul took the initiative to walk over, instantly attracting the attention of quite a few people.
Being the captains of both squadrons, Paul and Wang Zhong were undoubtedly the targets of much attention.
It had to be said that Paul's actions had changed quite a few people's impression of him. Even after losing the group battle, he still took the initiative to greet them in such a calm manner. Just this demeanor alone was enough to subdue people.
Only Leo and Galen, who had played with him for a few years, understood that Paul's smile and actions meant that the grudge between him and Tianjing had truly grown. Although he might not care about the lives of Sully and the others, he definitely cared about the golden name of the Saxon Academy squadron.
"Every single one of us is very strong. We're a whole." Wang Zhong replied with a faint smile.
"Ha ha, is that so?" Replied Paul with a faint smile, before saying in a profound tone, "The group battle this time has left a deep impression on me. I'm looking forward to your performance in the CHF. I still have matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
Wang Zhong directly ignored Paul's pretentiousness. Perhaps some squadrons would pay attention to this. However, for Wang Zhong and the Tianjing squadron, the only thing they needed to do was to become stronger, even stronger. From the very beginning, Wang Zhong's sights weren't limited to just the Eastern region. It was precisely this special trait that had attracted Laura's attention. "Captain Wang Zhong, are you free tomorrow? Why don't you join our Copperfield squadron for an internal training session? I feel that our two squadrons can have a deeper cooperation. "
"That's right, that's right!" Arnold started to jeer from the side. "Ha ha! Your backline formation is truly too amazing! Coincidentally, I'm also a ranged soldier! Scarlet and Milami's performances are truly breathtaking! My partner and I would like to learn from them!"
Copperfield was also in a 3-2 formation. Being the group's main ranged controller, Arnold's position in the group battle was roughly the same as Scarlet's. He was also accompanied by a cannoneer, and his individual strength was definitely a level higher than Milami's. Be it in terms of firepower or frequency of combat, he was stronger. However, when paired with Arnold, their might didn't seem as smooth as Scarlet and Milami's.
They were one plus one equals two. However, for Scarlet and Milami, one plus one was greater than two.
