"Get into formation. Tai, pay attention to your vision. We absolutely can't let it slip away."
The dragon fish beast was extremely strong. Furthermore, it possessed a certain Earth Shield ability and was extremely sensitive. Even if it couldn't defeat it, it could still run away. To the various great squadrons, this period of time had truly been filled with suffering.
Tai excitedly grabbed hold of the dragon fish beast that was about to burrow into the ground. Following the activation of his special ability, a strange spiritual link was formed. His Origin Energy radiated with a faint purple radiance, appearing just like a rope as it lit up between him and the dragon fish beast. This radiance possessed the power to penetrate through the thick fog.
The dragon fish beast roared furiously as it rushed out from the ground. Exceptionally furious, it rushed straight towards Tai, who had exposed its position.
"Shield formation!"
The four heavy soldiers roared furiously as they joined forces once again. As for the soldiers possessing long-range attacks, they rapidly spread out, forming a standard formation against a powerful enemy. "Attack!"
The crisscrossing net of firepower bombarded the enraged dragon fish beast. Finally abandoning the heavily protected Tai, it lunged towards the soldier closest to it. The soldier rapidly switched from attacking to defending. This was the correct decision. BANG! The sharp spike of the dragon fish beast pierced into the inner thigh of the soldier, causing a gigantic wound to appear. Blood spurted out like a fountain, as the artery had been severed.
"Damn it!"
Grasping this opportunity, the three captains led the four heavy soldiers over to surround the dragon fish beast. The bait had been eaten, and the price had been paid. Next up was the harvest.
Ten minutes later, with injuries of varying sizes present on the bodies of seemingly every single person, the dragon fish beast collapsed unwillingly.
Success!
Just as everyone was about to celebrate, a laughter suddenly rang out from within the thick fog.
"Tsk tsk. Everyone, this dragon fish beast is our prey. I'm very unhappy that you guys are stealing it like this."
In the thick fog, a neat team that looked like they were on an outing walked out. What was strange was that there was a lotus-like palace lantern floating above their heads. Under the illumination of the lantern, the thick fog dissipated like a shadow in the light.
"Divine Dragon Academy!"
The three captains held their breaths as they looked at the ridiculously clean group of people, before looking at the ones riddled with scars … no, even without the great battle from before, they would absolutely not be able to display such a relaxed and carefree atmosphere.
"Let me explain. We've already injured the leader Ichthyosaur long ago. We've been chasing after it. If not, you guys wouldn't even be able to touch a hair on it," said Zhao Tianlong coldly.
"Sky Dragon, why are you wasting your breath on them? Hurry up and pack up. I don't want to stay a second longer in this godforsaken place."
Said a female student from the Divine Dragon Academy in annoyance. Explaining so much to a bunch of weaklings was just a waste of time. Time was life.
Zhao Tianlong ignored the woman and continued walking towards the Dragon Fish Beast.
The three B rank teams watched on with their eyes wide open. They clenched their fists tightly. This was f * cking robbery. Moreover, even if they fought half of it, they would still have some credit. At the very least, they were the ones who caught them. However, the people from the three battle teams were very hesitant. This was because these people were from the Divine Dragon Battle Team.
However, just as they thought that this matter would end with the law of the jungle, an ice-cold voice suddenly rang out from another direction. "Zhao Tianlong, don't find excuses if you're inferior to others. If it's a robbery, then just say it. Doesn't this mean that everyone who sees it has a share?"
The requirements for the Heaven's Fate battle zone were slightly higher. The S rank squadrons had to obtain a leader. Although combat prowess wasn't a problem, the disgusting thing was that these mutated beasts appeared and disappeared unpredictably, causing these aristocratic family members to have a headache.
In an instant, Zhao Tianlong's movements came to a halt, as an extremely sharp aura locked onto him.
Within the Divine Dragon Academy, the aloof and composed Zhao Yilong, who appeared as though nothing had anything to do with him, suddenly narrowed his eyes as he looked towards the depths of the thick fog. "I was wondering who it was. So it's Vladimir. You want to decide who's superior here?"
"Haha. If brother Yilong is interested, it's not like I can't do it."
A group of people suddenly broke through the thick fog and walked out. Tall and imposing figures brought along a fierce aura akin to the northern wind.
Zhao Yilong gripped the heavy spear in his hand, while the atmosphere between him and Vladimir appeared as stifling as the arrival of a storm.
The morale of the squadron members from the 2 great academies surged as they locked onto their opponents. The close relationship between the Zhao Family and the Gui Family meant that they were enemies with the Vasilyevich Family. Being one of the 10 great families, Zhao Yilong did not dare to offend them.
By the side, the 3 B rank squadrons appeared just like small boats in the midst of a storm. Sandwiched between the auras of the 2 powerful squadrons, they were barely able to hold on. Bitter smiles appeared on the faces of the 3 captains. If they had known about this earlier, they wouldn't have had any thoughts about that damnable dragon fish beast. So what if they were defeated? They were 3 squadrons, while there was only a single dragon fish beast. The only way out for them was to cooperate and cooperate with one another to advance forward.
However, the fight between the Vasilyevich Academy and the Divine Dragon Academy would definitely be an apocalyptic one. Therefore, they were more than happy to sit on the mountaintop and watch the tigers fight.
Just at this moment, the eyes of Zhao Yilong and Vladimir suddenly flashed simultaneously, before the auras that they had unleashed were retracted back at the same time.
With a sigh, a third voice suddenly rang out. "Are you guys men or not? All talk and no action!"
Divian!
Just like specters, the Seer Academy squadron suddenly surged out from the thick fog. Naturally, they were able to walk straight to their destination. However, the S rank squadrons still cared about their face. Since the organizing committee had given them the choice of the leader dragon fish beast, they would naturally take this as their main priority. However, they never expected that this mutated beast would be so much more troublesome than they had imagined, causing them to waste a large amount of time. Now, it was already too late for them to rush over.
What's more, everyone wanted to be the first to complete the mission. Vladimir, Divian and Zhao Yilong. The 3 top-class experts had already made their preparations to take action at any moment. However, who wouldn't be willing to be the first to take action and allow a third party to reap the benefits? Most importantly, this was just a elimination round, and no one was willing to reveal too much of their strength. Even without Divian, Vladimir and Zhao Yilong would not take action for real. At the very most, they would just probe each other a little.
"It's too shameful for us to snatch prey from 3 B rank squadrons. Why don't we have a competition to see who can catch it first?" Said Vladimir with a smile. These 3 squadrons were from the northern regions. Since they were unable to obtain it, it would naturally be better for them to give it to "their own people".
"I'm fine with it. I've already grasped the movement patterns of those little fellows." replied Divian with a smile.
A frown appeared on Zhao Yilong's forehead. These 2 fellows were clearly trying to stir up trouble. Clearly, they were trying to harm others without benefiting themselves. It was still alright if it was a 1v1. However, he didn't even want to think about a 1v2.
"Since you've said that, our Divine Dragon squadron will naturally accompany you. However, the 2 of you have to remember that it would really be shameful if I were to take the lead again." Zhao Yilong replied in a straightforward manner. This was a small matter, and there was no need to lose the bigger picture over a small matter. However, a few words of mockery were definitely needed. The Seer Family and Stuart Family were on the same side. With 3 squadrons and 3 influences, they were natural opponents.
Very quickly, the 3 powerful S rank squadrons disappeared within the dense fog, leaving the 3 B rank squadrons dumbfoundedly looking at the dense fog that had enveloped them once again. Looking at the dragon fish beasts on the ground, they suddenly felt as though they had been reborn.
Even this is possible???
They had advanced to the next round.
At this moment, similar scenes were playing out in the various competition zones. Not only was this elimination round for elimination, it was also an in-depth test for the top squadrons.
It was already evening by the time they arrived at Grozny City. Other than Grai, the entire squadron was riddled with scars. In reality, Grai was the one who had sacrificed the most. After losing their two pillars, Wang Zhong and Scarlet, Grai had shouldered all of the responsibilities of the squadron, acting as both a father and a mother, as well as a psychological counsellor. It had to be said that Grai's calm and unperturbed demeanor had caused everyone to truly believe that Wang Zhong and Scarlet would be fine. Not only that, under Grai's lead, everyone had actually managed to rush to Grozny City a day earlier. Naturally, this was also due to Wang Zhong and Scarlet. Everyone had unleashed their full potential, with no one saying a word, as they only had a single goal, Grozny City.
Upon reaching Grozny City, the other members of the Tianjing squadron were already on the verge of collapsing. Coupled with the mental pressure from their frantic sprint, they had indeed reached the limits of what Lily, Hymin and the others could do. The squadron's badge was on Grai's body. Wang Zhong had only felt that he had a lot of matters to deal with, and that he might have to move out by himself at any moment. Therefore, placing it on Grai was the safest choice. However, never did he imagine that he would actually give the Tianjing squadron a chance.
However, they were unable to send out any reinforcements, as the hurricane had yet to disappear. At this moment, even soldiers would be unable to search for them. With such weather, they could only wait for the hurricane to end. Not only were Wang Zhong and Scarlet missing, there were a dozen other people missing.
Everyone could only wait for news. Even without the hurricane, searching for a single person in such a terrain would be akin to searching for a needle in a haystack. Sending people out now, even if they were Heroic Soul Stage soldiers, would just be sending them to their deaths.
After Grai had completed his verification, he was considered to be at the very back. The majority of the stronger squadrons had already arrived, with only a few C rank squadrons still struggling. The elimination rate for the D rank squadrons was extremely high. In fact, there weren't many D rank squadrons within the entire CHF, with the majority being C rank squadrons. As long as Wang Zhong and Scarlet were able to return before the start of the 2nd test, it would be fine. It wasn't rare for members to be separated from each other.
After completing his verification and walking out of the great hall, he suddenly heard someone calling out his name. Looking over, he saw that it was actually Dicaprio. The Giant God Peak Academy had completed their CHF relatively early. Furthermore, all of their members were present. A mere C rank squadron had attracted quite a bit of attention during the past few days in Grozny City.
"What's going on? From the information released by the CHF committee, Wang Zhong and Scarlet have gone missing?" Dicaprio was rather concerned about this matter. Every squadron that had passed this test, as well as their losses, would be announced at the first possible moment. "Could they have encountered the absolute ice hail storm? However, there's no need to worry. I've read Wang Zhong's fortune before. He doesn't seem like the kind of fellow that would die young. "
With a smile, Grai asked, "Does senior Dicaprio know about fortune reading?"
Fortune reading. That was an extremely ancient ability, and wasn't a scammer. Clearly, Grai was asking about it in an extremely professional manner.
Pushing up his spectacles, a chilling glint flashed across his lenses. In an instant, the concern he had shown earlier had turned into one that was brimming with arrogance. "With regards to this, I can say with full confidence that I'm a rather professional in this field. I'm the 268th successor of ancient fortune reading, and I'm known as the Divine Eye Ripples!"
People who didn't know what was going on would feel that Dicaprio was acting too pretentiously, not forgetting to boast about himself in every single sentence he spoke. If one didn't know what was going on, they would even assume that he was the captain of an A rank squadron.
"Seeing that you guys weren't able to reach the CHF after so long, I had assumed that you guys wouldn't be able to complete it. Truly worthy of being the squadron that I have high hopes for, to actually be able to rush through the absolute ice hail storm." While speaking, Dicaprio handed over a set of information. "This is the information I've gathered on the squadrons that have completed their CHF. Originally, I had wanted to give it to Wang Zhong. However, since he has gone missing, I'll give it to you."
"Thank you." Grai did not stand on ceremony. Although he was very good in some aspects, he was rather lacking when it came to dealing with people.
The content of the information wasn't too much, with most of it being about the squadrons that had advanced to the CHF, as well as some recent happenings. After all, Dicaprio and his group had arrived a good few days before the CHF, and had already had sufficient rest.
Although Grai had confidence in Wang Zhong, since the latter was temporarily not present, he would have to shoulder all the responsibilities of the squadron. Truthfully speaking, he had already seen the so-called Mo's List for this CHF. Indeed, it was extremely interesting. Regardless of how far the Tianjing squadron was able to walk, it would still be an extremely great experience for them.
To Grai, the most important thing was never the destination, but the mood to enjoy the scenery along the way.
After bidding farewell to Dicaprio, Barran returned to the living quarters arranged by the CHF organisers. The large group of Tianjing squadron members had already fallen asleep, with Barran's snores shaking the heavens. The last 2 days had truly caused him to be utterly exhausted. Being a man, and a heavy soldier at that, he had to shoulder even more burdens. However, he was only a single person. Nevertheless, he could not let down his senior's trust in him, and had to persevere till the end, just like how he believed that Wang Zhong and Scarlet would definitely return!
Grai took a delightful bath, before looking through the information provided by Dicaprio in detail.
Within the entire Grozny City Competition Zone, there were actually close to 70 squadrons that had completed this elimination round, including Tianjing. This was a number that had greatly exceeded Grai's estimation before the deadline. Clearly, the elimination rate wasn't considered high, as the large amount of killings between the squadrons did not appear as he had expected.
In terms of completion rate, the S and A + ranked squadrons were definitely the first tier of squadrons, with all of them not choosing to take any shortcuts or rely on their strength to snatch. To the other squadrons, this training was a form of competition. However, to them, it was a form of training. It was impossible for them to waste such a training opportunity. Furthermore, the arrogance within their hearts would not allow them to choose such a method. This allowed quite a few squadrons to escape from this calamity, with all of them completing the elimination round within 15 to 20 days. This was more than sufficient to prove how tyrannical these squadrons were.
The second tier consisted of a large number of A- and B ranked squadrons. There was a considerable portion of these squadrons that had chosen to complete the entire CHF according to the rules, with the majority of them completing the elimination round within 25 days or above. Nevertheless, all of them were somewhat problematic, as fights occurred the most in this tier. Although they possessed some strength, they did not possess absolute strength. However, the problem was that despite the high frequency of fights occurring, there were extremely few life and death battles occurring. That's because it was too difficult to take down a squadron without suffering any losses, as everyone was rather wary of each other. Therefore, it wasn't that easy to fish in troubled waters.
Finally, there was the third tier. The C and D ranked squadrons were more chaotic, and had indeed suffered more losses. However, due to them knowing that they were lacking in strength, the phenomenon of them forming groups was extremely serious. Therefore, the squadrons that had suffered losses were of this tier. There were also 3 special C ranked squadrons that were rather conspicuous in this list. Tianjing, Adolf and Giant God Peak.
