Matters like the dimensional storm that involved the 'frontlines' were clearly limited to the Federation's management.
The citizens who felt that Earth was the sole territory of mankind would definitely not know about this. The Skylink was still engulfed in the earth-shattering news regarding the CHF, which was abnormally explosive.
The five great assassins that the Mo Family had sent out had already attracted a considerable amount of attention yesterday. Experts like Gui Lie and Eddie were already well known by everyone. However, Yingmei Assassin, Napier Mo, and even Wu Li, whose fame was limited to the Stuart Family, were considered to be complete newbies in the eyes of the public.
Therefore, the discussions surrounding these newbies continued to spread. There were also people who raised doubts about the Mo Family's list. The one that attracted the most attention was undoubtedly Cole Joseph. He had been selected as the best assassin lineup of the Federation's CHF last year, and had always thought highly of himself. Yet, he had unexpectedly failed to make it.
Being a former celebrity participant, and a soldier that was about to graduate, shouting at the Mo Family was clearly an unwise choice. Therefore, he used another method, and publicly issued a challenge to one of the five great assassins, Wu Li, in the OP.
Originally, people had assumed that this would continue for a few days. However, what surprised people was that Wu Li quickly gave a reply. This slightly skinny and small girl had an extremely unyielding character.
The moment her reply appeared, a wave of excitement instantly erupted within the Skylink, with countless people spreading the news in a frenzy, wanting to spectate the match. The degree of popularity was almost comparable to All Mouthy King's matches.
However, just as everyone was waiting for the announcement of the duel, not even 20 minutes after the reply was sent out, a video of the kill had already been posted by the little girl called Wu Li under Cole Joseph's post. The entire duel took less than a minute. Cole had done his research and found out that Wu Li possessed a fog special ability. However, he was an assassin that possessed the ability to break through illusions, which made him the perfect counter to assassins that relied on camouflage. This was also the reason why he dared to challenge her. With his normal combat prowess as a fourth year student, dealing with her was a piece of cake.
However, reality was always cruel. This fog was not a regular illusion, nor was it a mental interference. In any case, his Insight was useless. Not only that, there was not even the slightest trace of aura or smell. He was completely blind. When he thought that the opponent would show an opening in an instant, he had already fallen.
Wang Zhong and Scarlet had watched the short video together, and were slightly shocked by it. Not only was there a strange fog special ability, there was also the biting cold attack, which belonged to the type that would hit its target in a single strike. Terrifying assassination capabilities. However, this was only the tip of the iceberg. After all, he was one of the 5 great assassins. Although it wasn't absolute, as long as the Mo Family sent him out, he would definitely be able to withstand the test. If not, the Mo Family would have destroyed their own reputation.
"Could it be that this fog is real?" Si Jiali asked.
"It's very possible. Furthermore, it's not just a simple concealment of aura. I'm afraid that it has other functions," said Wang Zhong with a smile. "However, no matter how strong a move is, there will always be a weakness. He hasn't been defeated yet because he hasn't encountered it yet."
"Those words sound really familiar," said Si Jiali as she thought about it. She could not help but laugh out. Wasn't this the words that the OP analyst, Ruo Zhi, would often say? What's more, it was specifically used to attack and destroy All Mouthy King.
Wang Zhong smiled and did not reply. Fishing out a wooden box from his bosom, he said, "This is for you. It should be of some help to your special ability."
"Ah?" Si Jiali gawked. The relationship between everyone in the squadron wasn't bad, but it was still rare for people to send gifts. That kind of thing was limited to Hymin and Grai. Wang Zhong's gift was too sudden.
"What's there to be surprised about?" Wang Zhong was amused by her expression as he handed the box over.
Si Jiali finally regained her senses. Giving an embarrassed smile, she took the box and asked, "What's this?"
She flipped open the box.
A faint blue glow shone on her face.
It was a sparkling and translucent crystal necklace, with a long rhombus pendant radiating with a faint sapphire glow. The platinum chain appeared even more delicate and beautiful under the blue glow.
It would be fine if it was any other gift. However, it was actually a necklace! A guy giving a girl a necklace …
Could it be that he was going to confess?
What's going on? This is too sudden! I'm completely unprepared for this.
Si Jiali was usually considered to be a rather magnanimous girl. However, at this moment, her breathing had suddenly turned hurried, while her face seemed to turn slightly hot. She felt as though the entire world was about to come to a standstill. She could clearly hear the thumping of her heart. Nervousness mixed with expectation, along with a sliver of apprehension and disbelief. Her heart was in a mess.
"It's made from a frozen dimensional crystal. If you wear it for a long time, it will increase your ice attribute special ability." said Wang Zhong in a serious tone. "You're our most important ranged soldier. The heavy burden is on your shoulders."
Only then did Si Jiali realise that this was a dimensional accessory …
It seems, I'm thinking too much.
Hastily arranging her emotions, she looked towards the faint blue necklace once again. Although her emotions had already calmed down, she was quickly given a fright.
From the cold glint radiating from the pendant, Si Jiali could very easily feel the familiar ice element flowing within it. Vigorous, rich and full. This was a quality that could only be achieved by a 3A grade frozen dimensional crystal. Furthermore, from the size of the pendant, if it was placed on the market, it would be worth at least several tens of millions of credits.
"This … is too precious!" Realizing the value of this necklace, Si Jiali was slightly shocked. "I can't accept such an expensive gift."
"You see, you've always said that I don't need to be polite with you. Now, you're being polite with me. We're friends!"
"But …" Si Jiali was still slightly shocked, yet her heart felt warm. She had never cared about such things before.
"No buts. I'll listen to captain." said Wang Zhong with a smile. After spending so much effort, he definitely had to make Si Jiali accept it.
She could not help but take a few more glances at the necklace in her hand. If she said she didn't like it, she would definitely be lying. The necklace's workmanship was sufficiently exquisite, and was able to satisfy all of Si Jiali's understanding and pursuit of beauty. Furthermore, it was made from a frozen dimensional crystal, which would have an immeasurable effect on her special ability. Naturally, the most crucial point was that this was a gift from Wang Zhong.
Si Jiali finally put down the burden in her heart. Just thinking about how this was a gift from Wang Zhong made her feel an indescribable fondness towards this necklace.
With a sweet smile, she suddenly had a rather bold idea. Taking the necklace out from the box, she undid the hidden clasp on it. Blinking her eyes at Wang Zhong, she said in a mischievous manner, "Can you help me put it on?"
"It's my pleasure!" said Wang Zhong with a smile as he received the necklace. In a very natural manner, he walked behind Si Jiali.
Only to see Si Jiali gently push aside her beautiful hair, revealing her white and fragrant neck.
Wang Zhong's hands circled around her neck from behind. The fragrance of a young girl wafted out from her beautiful hair and fair skin. It rushed into Wang Zhong's nose, causing him to feel a sudden heartbeat. Just as he was feeling slightly absent-minded, the door to his room was suddenly pushed open by someone.
