Emily was already waving her hand towards the Tianjing squadron while she was still within the crowd. She was clear about her own strength, and being able to match the elite assassins of those A ranked squadrons, she had basically performed perfectly in this test. Her final result might be around the top 10, and was definitely a good start for her squadron.
Colby knew that if he were to go up, he might be carried off the stage in the first round. There was indeed no way to make up for the disparity in strength. Frankly speaking, after a holiday's worth of training, he felt that he had made sufficient preparations. However, upon arriving on the stage, he discovered that he was still far from being able to do so.
Wang Zhong rubbed Emily's head. This lass had indeed matured by a lot.
While the Tianjing squadron was filled with cheers and laughter, Casio's face appeared slightly dark as he led his men away.
Camus's 2 results could only be considered as average amongst the participants. This was something that Rennes Academy had expected. However, upon seeing that even the Tianjing squadron that he had always looked down on had achieved such results, Casio felt exceptionally unhappy in his heart. There were such people in this world that were used to building their happiness on the pain and suffering of others. Even if others were more miserable than them, it would still make them happy.
Naturally, Tianjing didn't have the time to care about them. Such a good start was more than sufficient to establish a good foundation for the Tianjing squadron. In fact, it had even caused some A ranked squadrons to start paying attention to Tianjing. Naturally, most of them were paying attention to Emily, as there were still people who knew of her identity. However, everyone felt that it was a pity, and were even unable to understand what the Assassin Family was thinking.
After accompanying Scarlet to eat dinner in her room, Wang Zhong browsed through the videos of the first round of the competition in the various competition zones on Skylink, as well as the results of the competition. Indeed, the 5 great assassins on the Mo's List were ranked at the top of the various competition zones. Taking the lightning formation test as an example, the fastest participant was Yingmei Assassin, with a completion time of 13.4 seconds, placing him at the top of the competition zones.
This fellow's movement style was completely different from Napier Mo's lithe and graceful style, appearing slightly cold and gloomy. Even when he was leaping, he gave people a feeling as though he was a weightless specter floating through the air, appearing slightly stiff, yet exceedingly quick.
Next up were Gui Wulie and Wu Li, both of them at 13.8 seconds. Furthermore, both of them belonged to the category of explosive acceleration. Finally, Eddie Brooks and Napier Mo were at 14.1 seconds. Their relaxed and leisurely stances gave people a feeling as though they were taking a stroll, with not the slightest bit of fiery atmosphere present in them.
None of the five of them had really exerted their strength. No matter which one of them or which way they moved, it could be clearly seen in the video that they were moving with ease. The only thing that could be said was that the figures on the Mo's List did indeed possess extraordinary statuses. Speed was the most basic standard to judge an Assassin. In the world of Assassins, there was a saying that speed was the only thing that could not be defeated, whether it was Movement Speed or Attack Speed. Other than the 5 people on the Mo's List, there were also a few assassins with rather eye-catching performances. Those that were able to run within 15 seconds of the lightning formation could be considered as top class. There were approximately 15 people present in the 4 competition zones. Other than the Copperfield Academy, the rest of the 10 high and mighty S ranked squadrons had all reached this standard. Even Copperfield had managed to run within 16 seconds. Their representative was Vallance. Originally, their squadron was an all-rounded soldier, and possessed a considerably high standard.
"If our brother King were to go up, you might be even faster than them." Scarlet could not help but tease Wang Zhong as she watched from the side.
"I'm not too good at this." replied Wang Zhong with a smile. "Everyone has their own specializations. It's impossible to compete with those top-class assassins in speed and agility."
"You're being modest. When are you going to tell the others?"
Scarlet was in a good mood. If it was someone else possessing Wang Zhong's strength, god knows how arrogant they would be. However, Wang Zhong was different. He was able to see the strong points of others, learn from them, and surpass them.
"Ma Dong knows about this matter. However, there's no need to do it on purpose. Our targets are those top-class squadrons. Revealing it too early would be extremely disadvantageous for Barran and the others." said Wang Zhong with a faint smile. "This is a very difficult opportunity to improve."
"Barran's heavy soldier training with you. Why are you so lacking in confidence?" Scarlet nodded her head. If one wanted to wear the crown, one would have to bear the weight. The others might really not be prepared for this.
Wang Zhong spread his hands out. "If we're talking about heavy soldiers, Barran is, in fact, extremely qualified. Although he's unable to compare to those top-class heavy soldiers, there's no need to doubt his strength and talent. In the current Grozny City competition zone, I feel that he's able to rank in the middle. However … that fellow truly isn't the type to take tests."
"What do you mean?"
Wang Zhong shook his head. Thinking about a matter, he could not help but feel that it was laughable. "Today, when I was waiting for Emily outside the training centre, that fellow had actually gone to the toilet 7 times in just 3 hours. Furthermore, he was only waiting for someone. If he were to compete tomorrow … I'm afraid that saying it would make him even more nervous."
"I feel much more energetic after a day of rest." said Scarlet with a smile. "Tomorrow, I'll go and cheer for Barran!"
Indeed, Barran was slightly nervous. Accurately speaking, he wasn't 'slightly nervous', but extremely nervous. As a result, he wasn't able to sleep for the entire night!
This was especially true when he was outside the training centre, where he saw over a hundred different squadrons and participants, causing him to feel a suffocating feeling.
It appeared as though every single one of them was stronger than him. Every single one of them had a confident smile brimming on their faces, while remaining calm and composed. He was representing Tianjing Academy, so he couldn't drag everyone down, and he couldn't lose face for the academy …
Messy thoughts churned within Barran's mind like glue, causing him to subconsciously shake his legs, while rubbing his palms against each other.
"Hey hey hey, relax a little." Ma Dong continued to massage Barran's shoulders as they waited for him to enter the arena. Even Emily hadn't received such treatment yesterday. Clearly, everyone could see the nervousness written on Barran's face. "It's just 2 tests. Just treat it as your usual training with Wang Zhong!"
"Okay, president!" Barran forced himself to take a deep breath, though his face truly wasn't looking good. However, there was nothing he could do about it. Other than a limited number of people, who would dare to say that they weren't nervous?
Replacing Barran at this time?
If that happened, Barran would become a cripple. This would definitely become an eternal obstacle in his heart, something that Wang Zhong would absolutely not do.
Emotions were the hardest thing to control, and would also affect one's performance the most.
Barran was extremely clear about this. He had already pinched the web between his thumb and forefinger a few times in an attempt to use the pain to calm himself down.
"There doesn't seem to be any particularly strong heavy soldiers in our competition zone. The 5 great heavy soldiers on the Mo's List aren't here."
"I don't know about the others, but regardless of anything, the mainstay heavy soldiers of Heaven's Fate Academy and Torres Academy should be considerably strong."
"Who knows, Heaven's Fate Academy might send Mo Ling up."
"Mo Ling? Isn't that a summoner? "
"Summoners can also be used as heavy soldiers. Take Laura's Explosive Bear for example. If she were to summon it to be a meat shield, who would be able to deal with it …"
"Sigh. Experts are just so inhumane. They're able to toss us tens of thousands of miles away with just a casual move!"
"It won't be Mo Ling. The Heaven's Fate Academy has their own official heavy soldier. I've heard that he's extremely strong … look, it's that big fellow."
A 2.4m tall giant appeared in everyone's line of sight. Many of the heavy soldiers present in the arena could be considered to be giants, with each of them towering over 2 metres. However, compared to this giant, all of them appeared just like little kids.
