Just like a bird, Napier Mo shot through the air in a relaxed manner, before turning his entire face towards Caliban Crowe. Sending a grin towards him, his body stretched out in a manner that completely defied the laws of physics. Forming a large Chinese character, he made a funny face and said, "Ha!"
This …
Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded. Stepping into the Lightning Array was akin to playing with one's life. However, not only was this fellow playing with his ball, he actually had the spare energy to joke around with the people around him?
This joke was a little too much, appearing just like a sudden clap of thunder from a clear sky appearing amidst the sound of a broken gong. Caliban Crowe could only feel his breathing coming to an abrupt halt, while his advancing body instantly took a half a step wrong.
Pa!
A bolt of lightning flashed across Caliban Crowe's path, causing quite a few people to cry out in shock. It would be a good show if the S ranked squadron was unable to complete their goal. However, the expected fainting and collapsing did not happen. Instead, his body turned slightly stiff, before unexpectedly clenching his teeth and enduring it. Continuing to advance forward, he looked to the side, where Napier Mo had already rushed past the finishing point. Tossing his coloured ball around, he looked over with a grin.
In the end, Caliban was still able to complete the entire course. Even though there was a split second of stiffness and pause, his completion time had already crossed the 16 second barrier, locking in at 15.9 seconds. However, there was an even more perverted record.
Napier Mo, 14.1 seconds!
Time was secondary, with the most important factor being the entire process … being too easy. The demonic appearance of the coloured ball being tossed around in the air appeared to have been carved into everyone's minds. At this moment, the face that everyone had thought to be a joke was only left with respect and shock.
The entire stadium was deathly silent, while the other members of the various great squadrons were also incomparably silent. The moment Napier Mo took action, everyone felt as though they could go home. It had to be said that he had successfully created a shadow in everyone's hearts, causing any assassin from any squadron to have to consider carefully before facing him.
This was the strength of a Mo's List ranker!
Even if he didn't display any special skills, just his basic skills were enough to make everyone feel a little suffocated.
It was already the last round of the competition. Although the results of the competition were clear, the scores would not be announced. The scoring was also based on one's performance. Being faster and further was obviously an important criterion, but there were also some options to deduct points. For example, the lightning ability user who crossed the field in fifteen seconds would definitely not score higher than the group of people who completed the course in seventeen seconds.
"That fellow from the Mo's List is indeed slightly frightening." It was rare for Dicaprio, who would only praise himself, to praise someone else. "This should be the standard of the OP's so-called Quasi Sanctuary Division."
"His control over his muscles is very interesting." Grai nodded his head.
Wang Zhong also smiled. Napier Mo's performance was indeed breathtaking. Not only did he possess the basic qualities of an assassin, his observation, judgement and control over his body were all top-notch experts. Indeed, the Mo's List rankers were extraordinary. Crossing hands with such a person would definitely be an extremely delightful thing.
Wang Zhong and Grai were able to see through each other's thoughts. The previous confrontation was, in fact, Napier Mo's probing of his opponent. Such a confrontation was far more frightening than a head-on confrontation. It had to be said that Napier Mo was a level higher than Wang Zhong, and Emily might really not have any chance of victory against him. Furthermore, this was just the tip of the iceberg for the Mo Family. Usually, everyone would want to make a name for themselves in a single fight, and topple the 10 Great Families. If the 10 Great Families were that easy to topple, they would have long left the stage of history.
The 2nd round, Sealed Room. The conditions for the test were extremely simple. They would be placed in a completely sealed small room, where the participants would have to think of a way to escape.
There were props within the room that could be used, but there were also terrifying dangers: poison gas and hidden mechanisms. Of the hidden mechanisms, there was one that was the key to open the room, while the rest were countless traps, which the participants would have to identify by themselves.
Be it assassins or scouts, being the vanguard of a squadron, encountering various kinds of dangers was basically a common occurrence. Various survival and escape abilities were all skills that they had to grasp.
Not long after the start of the competition, there were already batches of assassins being carried out of their rooms. Although the poison gas within the room wasn't fatal, it possessed an extremely strong hallucinatory and fainting effect. A box of antidotes was placed in every room, with only one of them being able to detoxify the poison. The first thing the participants had to do was to identify the true antidote. If they were unlucky enough to consume the wrong one, it would be over for them.
Not only were the participants grumbling incessantly, even the squadron members watching via Skylink were looking at each other in embarrassment. Any academy's assassin class would definitely have a class on medicine. Poisons, antidotes and healing medicines were all covered. However, truthfully speaking, the standard taught by the academy was completely insufficient to deal with the identification of poison. There were quite a few people who had consumed the wrong poison and were carried out. However, it was clear that there were some experts amongst them. Emily was one of them.
The Assassin Family's achievements in the field of medicine weren't just for show. Be it various poisons or antidotes, Emily had grown up smelling them. Even if she was just relying on her senses, it was impossible for her to make a wrong choice even with her eyes closed. She basically didn't waste any time. Furthermore, her body was different from ordinary people, and had been quietly nurtured by her family since she was young. It was just that she wasn't aware of it. However, when these details were put to use, one would discover how precious they were.
The only things she lacked were her mechanical skills and luck. There were a total of 10 mechanisms in the room, and she spent quite a bit of time searching for them. She only managed to find the exit after trying the 6th one, placing her above average results amongst the 19 participants who had completed this round. Napier Mo had once again broken everyone's record by 3 rounds.
In fact, this fellow didn't even consume any antidotes. After walking into the room for a mere 5 seconds, he had opened the exit mechanism and walked out. A mere 5 seconds … caused everyone to be dumbfounded.
It was one thing for his speed and combat prowess to the point that he had no friends. However, he was also that ridiculously strong in these aspects?
"This … isn't this cheating? Could it be that he already knew where the exit mechanism was? "
"Don't talk nonsense. The positions of the mechanisms in every room are different. Furthermore, the rooms are randomly selected. What's more, he's one of the 5 great assassins! How could he possibly cheat? Do you think he's a newbie like you?"
"However, this is too exaggerated! How is it possible for him to find the correct position of the mechanism with a single look?"
"There might be a certain amount of luck involved …"
"They're out!"
After being shut for over 5 hours, the doors of the training hall were finally opened, before a large group of participants walked out from within.
There were quite a few people who were slightly dejected. Only 9 people had passed the Lightning Array, and there were only 19 sealed rooms. The overall difficulty of this test was too high, causing those originally prideful and arrogant young assassins, who felt that they were experts, to suffer quite a bit of a mental blow.
It had only been a short while since noon had passed. Although the exact score wasn't announced, there were only minute adjustments made to the scores, with the fluctuations not being too large. Having completed both rounds, Tianjing Academy and Giant God Peak were clearly the winners. They had completed the tests that the vast majority of B and even A- ranked squadrons were unable to complete. Their results were considerably towards the front. Other than Napier Mo's incomparable limelight, these 2 C ranked squadrons were the most eye-catching.
"Emily! Your cousin loves you! Come, let me give you an older brother hug! "Ma Dong was already impatient to rush over.
