"I told you to be careful. This competition involves many aspects, and it's hard to avoid some underhanded tricks. Small details will often affect the overall situation. However, don't worry. I'll think of a way to deal with this matter. However, I don't dare to guarantee when it will come out. Don't let it affect your emotions.
It's more important to remain calm at this moment. "said Carolyn. With a smile, Divian replied," This situation isn't enough to cause me to lose my balance. However, I'm always holding back my anger. Don't let me bump into them. Speaking of which, how did your test go? "
"I should be able to get first place." Replied Carolyn with a faint smile, causing Divian to shrug her shoulders in helplessness. This lass had always been this confident. Would it kill her to be a little more modest? However, it was true that Carolyn's results had always been first place. Furthermore, she was rather deep in the field of theoretical research, with a wide range of knowledge. This test was basically tailor-made for her. Most likely, only Gui Hao could pose a slight threat to her. However, as long as Carolyn was serious, Gui Hao shouldn't be her match.

The season where absolute ice storms and hail storms swept across the icy plains was also known as the wind season. The majority of the nomads of the northern regions and the people from the various towns and cities would intentionally reduce their travel to avoid encountering unpredictable natural or man-made disasters. After all, even the railway tracks had the possibility of being attacked by the hail storms.
In previous years, the city would always be relatively deserted at this time. However, during these 3 days of leisure, the Grozny Empire was exceedingly lively. Every single squadron was anxiously waiting for the final results to be released. This would determine whether they lived or died. Would they continue to achieve their dreams on a higher stage, or would they pack up and return home? At the very last step, everyone basically felt that they had a chance of being selected.
The atmosphere was completely different. Some of the confirmed selected squadrons appeared exceedingly relaxed as they chatted cheerfully and wittily. As for those who had already lost their chance, those who had been confirmed to be eliminated had basically adjusted their mental state. At the very least, they had participated in this extremely awesome CHF. Naturally, there was still a bit of luck involved. Who knows, there might even be a pie falling from the sky. Those who did not speak were basically those who had a chance of entering the CHF. This was the most worrying aspect.
Tianjing was still alright, as everyone was still extremely confident in Wang Zhong. After all, he was Tianjing's famous "King of Examinations". Even if he wasn't able to enter the top 10, obtaining an A wouldn't be a problem. After all, Tianjing's theories were still ranked amongst the best in the Federation, and they had never planned to compete with Heaven's Fate City.
Over the past few days, Wang Zhong and the others had also made some new friends. For example, Quinn, who had competed with Emily on the same stage as her in the New Holy City Academy, had taken the initiative to come over and befriend them. He was also from an aristocratic family of assassins, though he didn't have as great of a reputation as the Assassin Family. Quinn seemed to have an exceedingly good impression of Emily, who was younger than him, yet had managed to defeat him in the Lightning Formation. However, he would always be stopped by Ma Dong, who would pull him over to chat about all sorts of things. Emily's love and indifference caused Quinn to feel slightly hurt. It had to be said that Tianjing's performance in the elimination rounds had attracted the attention of some people. At the very least, a squadron that they had never placed in their eyes had obtained the qualifications to enter the CHF, and was no longer a weakling.
An all rounded soldier that was able to "insta-kill" a Heroic Soul Stage instructor, an assassin that could stand toe to toe with the A ranked squadron's mainstay, and a super heavy soldier that could unleash an S rank attack. It would be hard for such a squadron to not be taken seriously.
"It's just 2 A's. Don't flatter them. Their ranged soldier scores aren't that great, and their heavy soldier score is seriously biased towards other subjects. It's impossible for them to obtain a high score. Whether they're able to advance to the next CHF will depend on their performance in the captain arena."
"Ha ha. There's a reason behind the evaluation of information. Even if there's a slight error, it wouldn't be too much of a difference. It's just a squadron that excels in examinations." Said Casio in an indifferent tone. Their situation was even worse than Tianjing's. The advancement of both squadrons would depend on their performance in the captain arena. Casio could only say that he had to rely on his luck. However, the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he felt. Looking at the fawning appearance of Tianjing, he could not help but want to say a few words. As for offending them, they had already offended them before. Therefore, it wouldn't matter if they did it again. If they wanted to play, they had to play it big. If they lost, they had to lose cleanly. If they won, they had to win as much as they could.
"That idiot's jumping out again." replied Ma Dong with a grin. He was already used to this fellow's foul mouth.
"Just ignore him." replied Dicaprio in a rather calm and collected manner. "Our Giant God Peak will definitely advance to the next CHF. Naturally, I believe that Wang Zhong and you guys definitely won't have any problems!"
If these words were said before the elimination rounds, there would definitely be people who would feel disdain towards them. However, at this moment, no one dared to refute him. On the contrary, there were quite a few congratulatory voices ringing out.
Strength was the best proof. As of now, Giant God Peak's results were 4 A's in all of the squadrons. Although the results for the captain arena had yet to be announced, one only needed to look at Dicaprio's heaven-shattering gaze to be able to guess the results. There was basically no difference between such a squadron and being able to advance to the next CHF.
Amidst the clamoring, Cole Joseph arrived late.
"Before announcing the final results, I'll say one more thing." Appearing on the rostrum, Cole Joseph held a list of names in his hands and pushed it towards the surroundings, causing the clamoring in the surroundings to instantly die down by quite a bit.
"The 2nd elimination round will be the final results for the entire CHF. There are a total of 23 squadrons that have advanced to the next CHF, ranking at the bottom of the 4 great competition zones. For the past few days, I've heard that there are people who feel that the cold weather in Grozny City has affected your performance. However, I'd like to tell everyone that don't find excuses for your failures. A loss is a loss, and a win is a win. This is a grand event that's open to the entire world, so don't use such low level arguments to embarrass the Federation."
The atmosphere in the great hall, which was originally filled with the buzzing sounds of discussions, instantly turned slightly awkward. Indeed, there were quite a few people who had found excuses for their failures over the past few days. However, they were just casually saying those excuses, which were slightly shameful when they thought about it.
However, nervousness was also brewing within the awkwardness. There were a total of 128 squadrons that had entered the final CHF. Everyone had assumed that there would be 32 squadrons from each of the 4 great competition zones that had advanced to the next CHF. However, never did they imagine that only 23 squadrons would advance to the next CHF. Squadrons like the Heaven's Fate Academy would definitely not care about this. However, the faces of the Lightning Dragon Academy instantly changed. Based on their own calculations, they were only hovering around the 30th place. Originally, advancing to the next CHF was already an extremely big problem for them. Now that only 23 squadrons had advanced to the next CHF, the chances of them being eliminated was even greater.
Amidst the silence, Cole Joseph swept his indifferent gaze across the crowd. "Let's talk about the situation of the captain arena. There's nothing to write home about in the Grozny competition zone, with the exception of a single person. Due to his existence, our competition zone has an additional 3 slots. He obtained the 1st place in the captain arena, and is also the only person in our competition zone with the highest score, S +, and full marks."
Whispers instantly rang out across the entire competition grounds. Who was that amazing? The captain arena test was a headache for a bunch of people. However, all of the captains had a certain level of mental preparation for it. After all, the Federation had always required their captains to be all-rounded, especially in the area of command. This was also the difference between the Federation and the empires, where intelligence was extremely important.
