Upon seeing their opponents, the Tianjing Academy students all sucked in a breath of cold air. Bierlia Academy was a classic combat type squadron, and was an existence second only to S rank squadrons. The students who were originally harboring a bit of hope felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their hearts.
Most importantly, Bierlia Academy was famous for their "vicious and merciless" style of combat. After all, they mainly focused on assassins. If they paid attention to being tactful, they would have long fallen.
For the students of Bierlia Academy, being matched up against Tianjing Academy had indeed exceeded their expectations. … their opponents were too weak.
To an expert, they wouldn't mind their first opponent having some strength. This would allow them to warm up. However, Tianjing didn't even have the qualifications to warm up. It had to be said that the changes to the competition system for the elimination rounds were a little too great. Although it was comprehensive, it was too one-sided in terms of combat, allowing some squadrons to sneak in.
Among the squadrons that Wang Zhong was familiar with, Giant God Peak's luck wasn't bad. They were matched up against the Kostan brothers' Oleg Academy. Oleg was undoubtedly a tyrant of the northern regions, but they didn't possess the strength to suppress their opponents. In the fight for the top 64 spots, one shouldn't hope to meet a soft persimmon.
Compared to them, Saint Mongols Academy's luck wasn't that good. They were matched up against the popular Stuart squadron. It could be said that they had already declared their despair. The only thing they could do was not to lose too badly.
Blazing City's opponent was the Austin squadron, while Copperfield's opponent was the PGF squadron. With their powerful strength, it wouldn't be too much of a problem for them to win the first round. This was the difference in their foundations. For those first-rate squadrons, they would only be able to meet their opponents in the second round.
In the eastern competition zone, some of Tianjing's old friends, Adolf, Lennon and the other academies, had already been eliminated. This was especially true for Adolf, who had been patiently waiting for a good performance. In the end, they didn't get the chance to enter the stage. However, there was nothing to regret. After experiencing the elimination rounds, the squadron members of Adolf could already feel the difference between them and the past. They could only sigh in admiration at Tianjing's strength.
That's right, it was strength, not luck. Sometimes, the person that understood you the most was your opponent.
This was especially true for Adolf's captain, Cecil. He had crossed hands with Wang Zhong before. Although he might not be able to reach Wang Zhong's level, his keen observation skills had already told him that Wang Zhong was concealing his terrifying strength. This was the true reason why Adolf had gone into closed-door training, and not because of a simple defeat. All of them felt boundless pressure.
Wang Zhong and Grai were top class. Barran was a very unstable heavy soldier, or rather, he was an emotional player. Wang Zhong's frightening strength was the most. However, Wang Zhong's terrifying point was that he was able to control the emotions of his squadron members. of.
Emily's strength had clearly increased by leaps and bounds. The only thing that could be said was that the Assassin Family was truly extraordinary. This had also allowed them to strengthen their assassins. As for Scarlet and Milami, they might be the weakest link in Tianjing's squadron. Nevertheless, the cooperation between the two was extremely unique. If their tyrannical vanguard was able to obstruct their opponents, it would be sufficient for them to unleash their full potential. It could be said that Tianjing was definitely an underestimated squadron, and they had the strength to enter the 2nd elimination round.
Nevertheless, not everyone was of the same opinion. At this moment, the 10 training grounds in the outskirts of Stuart City were already bustling with noise and excitement. Within the training grounds, the top 64 squadrons had already started their matches, while the live broadcast via Skylink had also started.
The warriors had the needs of the warriors, the Federation had the demands of the Federation, and the citizens also had their own interests. Such a competition would undoubtedly satisfy everyone.
Different matches would be taking place in different arenas, with the audience clearly having the freedom to choose which matches to watch. Matches with seeded squadrons would definitely be incomparably popular. Take the match between Stuart and Assassin for example. It was said that the ticket prices had already been tripled due to the scalpers, yet it was still unable to meet the demand. There were also some matches, such as the match between Tianjing squadron and Bierlia squadron, that clearly belonged to the category of dark horses.
Although one could be considered a grassroots counterattack in the preliminaries, and the other could be considered a little famous, once placed in the main competition, they would fade into obscurity.
There weren't many people watching this match in the viewing gallery. After entering the main competition, Tianjing had already organized students to come and cheer for them. However, they wouldn't be able to arrive so quickly. Furthermore, no one knew if Tianjing would still be able to advance by the time they arrived. To the ordinary supporters, such a long journey was still too extravagant. Even the wealthier cities in the eastern regions wouldn't be able to afford it.
However, the Skylink was absolutely bustling with noise and excitement. The people from Tianjing and Bierlia City, especially the students from the 2 great academies, had already turned the skies upside down. Basically, Bierlia Academy's intention was to beat Tianjing into smithereens. Although they weren't as strong as Tianjing, Tianjing Academy couldn't just stand at the front and lose their momentum. Both sides were happily arguing in the Skylink.
In the stadium, the reporters arranged by the organizing committee ignored the Tianjing squadron, and directly interviewed the members of Bierlia squadron. From the perspective of Tianjing, this was absolutely "unfair". However, quite a few of the audience didn't care about it.
Other than the people from the 2 cities, there was also a group of people that had come to watch the "noobs pecking at each other". There were those that liked high standards, while there were those that liked low standards. Coupled with Adolf and the others that had some relationship with Tianjing, they would more or less pay attention to this match.
As the members of both squadrons entered the stadium to make their preparations, Ma Dong opened up his Skylink and entered the live broadcast. As expected, the earlier scene was being broadcasted live. The entire world had seen how the host had ignored them, while the comments below the live broadcast were already blooming with laughter. All of them were comments that slapped Tianjing Academy's face. What was even more hateful was that the backstage management staff of the live broadcast had unscrupulously given a poll question: "Are C ranked squadrons worthy of being interviewed?"
The votes below seemed to be overwhelmingly in favor of "not worthy".
There was basically no need to understand too much about a mere C ranked squadron. They should be satisfied with just their luck in entering the top 128. Furthermore, there were quite a few people who expressed that Tianjing Academy was unlucky to have bumped into Bierlia Academy. At the same time, they were also fortunate. If not for the fact that they were from Bierlia Academy, no one would pay more attention to a squadron like Tianjing Academy.
Compared to them, the Bierlia Bierlia Academy squadron was undoubtedly the strongest squadron that represented the Federation's strength and muscles. Furthermore, they possessed a long and glorious history, and were the focal point of the live broadcast.
As for what Tianjing would think? Without talking about the empires, even the Federation wouldn't consider it!
Ma Dong's entire body was about to turn green from anger. However, turning his head around, he saw Wang Zhong and the others making their preparations for the match, causing him to suppress his anger.
However, what was even more excessive was about to happen. In the live broadcast, the host was currently interviewing Bierlia Academy's Yingren Brooks.
"… Student Yingren, I wonder if you have any words to say to your opponents for this match?"
"No, they aren't our targets. We've already made our preparations for the next match." replied Yingren in an indifferent tone.
’
The host could not help but laugh out loud. What a young man! He didn't even need to be so direct to pick a fight. "The match is about to start. Let us wait and see!"
In the end, Ma Dong didn't manage to wait for the host to come over to interview him. However, he believed that everyone who looked down on Tianjing would be shocked. Furthermore, this was just the beginning!
