As for that Flame Palm, other than the fact that it was as sharp as a knife, there was nothing special about the palm technique itself. It also could not prove the identity of an assassin.
He really … had no clue at all.
If one were to talk about motives, then … with his current situation, a mere captain of the Tianjing squadron truly didn't seem to be worth such a huge amount of effort.
Wang Zhong sat on his small bed in his dormitory, racking his brains over and over again. However, he was unable to come up with an answer no matter how much he thought about it. All of a sudden, his skylink rang. Opening it, he saw that it was unexpectedly Ma Dong.
"Dear, quickly take a look at the Mo Clan's new top ten experts list. There's a surprise!"
During this period of time, the Mo Family had continuously released the five great assassins, five great ranged soldiers, and five great heavy soldiers. Indeed, this had allowed people to have a deeper understanding of the overall strength of this CHF. The so-called ten great experts should be the final wave, and the selection criteria should be all-rounded soldiers. This was also the highlight of the CHF. It could be said that those who were able to make it onto the list had an extremely high possibility of becoming the backbone of the Federation in the future. They were all-powerful figures, and it was said that the probability of them becoming generals was extremely high. Even Wang Zhong was extremely interested in them. The previous experts of the various occupations were already extremely astonishing, so these ten great soldiers should be the pinnacle of the CHF. For example, the Sanctuary Division wasn't the only one in the OP, but it was still an important criterion.
Opening the video page of the Skylink, one could see that the video of the ten great experts had already been pushed to the first place without a doubt, leading by a wide margin. All the other videos, just like the person on top, belonged to the crown jewels.
Still, Wang Zhong was filled with anticipation. Divian's name should be on the rankings, right? In terms of strength, Divian could be considered as the strongest person he had encountered among his peers.
He clicked on the video, and when the passionate music ended, the first thing that appeared on the screen was a delicate longsword. Against the hazy background, the slender sword that was less than two fingers wide was particularly clear. The sword was covered with silver snowflake engravings, and the end of the slender hilt had a golden sword tassel that symbolized royal power.
It was a standard rune sword. However, due to the unique carvings and decorations on its surface, it was extremely recognizable.
It wasn't the sword that was famous, but the owner of the sword. Even before the owner appeared, the bullet screen was already bouncing crazily.
"The Stuart clan's Snow Cross emblem!"
"It's Her Highness Carolyn!"
"Goddess!"
Carolyn of the Stuart clan?
Perhaps, only she had the qualifications to be the leader of the 10 great experts. What's more, the Stuart Family was also one of the organizers of this CHF, as well as the host of the most important competition.
The Federation's proud daughter, little princess, goddess. Being the number one successor to the Stuart Family, Carolyn's reputation amongst the citizens was even higher than that of the Federation's parliament. After all, there weren't many citizens that knew the names of those big shots sitting behind the scenes.
However, to be honest, Wang Zhong really didn't know. It was mainly because they were too far apart that they didn't have any interaction at all. What he cared about wasn't his identity, but the fact that he was the leader of the top 10 experts. He definitely had something unique about him!
The black shadow holding the sword quickly moved on the screen. His steps were like a dance. It looked elegant, but it was astonishingly fast. The thin sword in his hand turned into a series of light and shadow like a silver screen, shining on the screen. It was impossible to see the trace of the sword with one's eyes. It was like a gorgeous dance with special effects.
This was the disparity between a video and a live fight. When one's combat standard reached a certain level, a video would no longer be able to capture the feeling of the fight. Regardless of how many times one increased the frame count, or how many times one slowed down the footage, it would still be the same. Those fragmented images were simply unable to allow one to truly experience the seriousness and threat of a fight. Take the sword dance before him for example. The video gave people an astonishing sense of beauty and elegance. However, if one were to truly face an enemy, Wang Zhong felt that it would definitely result in a suffocating chain of oppression.
This Carolyn, was very …
Whoa, wait a minute!
All of a sudden, Wang Zhong gawked slightly. He felt as though he had seen this figure in the video before. Every single one of her actions gave off a peculiar feeling that caused Wang Zhong's heart to race.
After finishing her sword dance, she stopped her rhythmic steps, causing the blurry figure to gradually become clearer under the adjustment of the camera.
This was an astonishingly beautiful girl. She had a head of long, jet-black hair, her fair skin brimming with a faint blush, and a pair of clear and bright eyes beneath her feather-like eyelashes. A faint smile hung on her face. She wasn't ostentatious, nor did she deliberately keep a low profile. Instead, she appeared casual and natural, yet she possessed the aura of a king that seemed to be born naturally, causing people to bow down to her.
This is!
Wang Zhong's mouth gaped wide open.
It's her? She's Carolyn?!
This face was all too familiar. It had appeared in Wang Zhong's beautiful dreams many times, yet there was still a slight unfamiliarity to it. During this period of time, Wang Zhong had subconsciously forgotten about this blurry figure.
The girl in his memories was youthful, passionate, bold and unrestrained, and brimming with vitality. Regardless of whether it was her sweat-dripping martial arts training, or her casually tied up hair, all of them gave Wang Zhong an incomparably intimate feeling. The Carolyn in front of him was still her, yet her eyes had uncontrollably revealed a domineering aura. Dressed in a soldier's attire, she appeared even more heroic and beautiful. Compared to the impression he had of her in his memories, there seemed to be a slight difference.
When the image froze, the Carolyn in the video had her right hand raised in front of her chest, while her left hand was elegantly placed behind her back. The graceful aura she exuded was enough to make countless people pale in comparison. At this moment, Carolyn's information appeared on the screen.
Stuart Academy. Carolyn Stuart. 16 years old. 172cm tall. 50kg weight. OP Sanctuary Division.
The bullet screen had already exploded, yet Wang Zhong wasn't able to see a single word. He didn't know what Ma Dong's so-called surprise was, as he didn't know much about Carolyn's matters. However … this truly was a pleasant surprise.
Wang Zhong's mind wandered for a good ten seconds before he regained his senses. A sliver of a smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth, before quickly turning into a bitter one. He seemed to have understood why Carolyn hadn't contacted him all this time.
Wang Zhong didn't care about her identity, whether it was the successor of a great aristocratic family or one of the ten great experts. However, that didn't mean that others wouldn't care about it. Even Carolyn herself didn't care about it. Perhaps that instant was a beautiful feeling, but what would happen after that?
Wang Zhong didn't have an answer. He didn't want to undervalue himself, nor did he feel that he possessed that much charm. Nevertheless, he was still extremely happy. At the very least, he knew who she was. That blurry image of him had also become clear. Regardless of the outcome, he wouldn't run away. CHF, very good!
It had to be said that Wang Zhong was brimming with fighting spirit. Under this kind of excitement, he didn't even care about matters like assassination.
