Although Grai was very strong, Yingren should be able to win. His defeat meant that he wasn't vicious enough, and wasn't attentive enough. Since they were in the main competition, they had to give it their all in every match, and not let their guard down. This was the creed of an assassin.
They had never expected that they would have to choose their first opponent.
The lineup of the participants was extremely important in the duelling phase. Different occupations had a certain degree of restraint. If their opponents were to make use of this, it would be very normal for 2 squadrons with a similar disparity in strength to end up with a score of 4: 0 or 4: 1. Therefore, under such a competition format, it was extremely crucial for both squadrons to snatch the first victory. Whoever managed to snatch the first victory would have the advantage of striking first. As of now, the advantage belonged to Tianjing.
"Dan Dong." Eddie didn't even need to think about it, before choosing his opponent for the next duel.
Dan Dong was the mainstay of the squadron's heavy soldier, a occupation that wasn't easy to counter. In terms of restraint between occupations, only ranged soldiers could barely be the nemesis of heavy soldiers. The other occupations could only be said to be evenly matched. Furthermore, Tianjing's ranged soldiers were rather lacking in strength, which would greatly reduce the possibility of being countered. What's more, with Dan Dong's strength, ordinary ranged soldiers would be completely useless against him. This was also the most stable move. Since Grai had already been sent out, the only remaining threat was Emily.
Heavy soldiers were the greatest counter to assassins, and this was their foundation! As for the heavy soldier Ba … he was a complete noob. Although he had an inexplicable offensive power, people weren't wooden dummies. With his weak mental fortitude, he would be even more trash on the battlefield. From the very beginning, Eddie had never considered his opponent as a threat. Furthermore, how could his opponent give up on the advantage that he had obtained with great difficulty?
"Alright, Bierlia Academy has sent out their mainstay heavy soldier Dan Dong for the 2nd duel!" Said Wind God as he wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead. He had nearly been left speechless by the awkwardness. "In the duelling phase, sending out a heavy soldier is undoubtedly a rather safe move. Now, it's time for Tianjing to make their choice. They've given us too many surprises in the 1st duel, creating such an opportunity. They definitely won't miss it. I boldly predict that Tianjing will send up a ranged soldier. Facing against a heavy soldier … cough cough … "
Before the host, Wind God, could finish his sentence, the Tianjing squadron had already made their choice.
Tianjing had sent out their heavy soldier, Barran Gestalt, causing Wind God's face to instantly turn black. That motherfucker's way too unconventional! At this moment, many people in the Skylink live broadcast room were laughing out loud.
However, the host also had a temper. It was already quite awkward earlier on. Since it was already dark, he had to continue down this path!
"The Tianjing squadron is extremely 'arrogant'. They didn't cherish the opportunity that their participant had fought for with great difficulty in the previous round. Instead of sending out a ranged soldier to counter their opponent, they've sent out their mainstay heavy soldier! A very young freshman! " The Wind God suddenly had a feeling. At this moment, Brother Ruo Zhi's soul was attached to his body. His thoughts surged. "This is a terrible and unwise decision! Were they hoping for a second miracle by not seizing the opportunity that was already in their hands? Leave my fate to God? I've heard that Tianjing Academy's captain, Wang Zhong, had obtained full marks in the theoretical test. However, from the looks of their current formation, I have to say that he's really just an armchair strategist! With such a completely idealistic captain, it was no wonder that even with a soldier like Grai, they were only classified as a mere C rank! I personally feel that there shouldn't be any suspense in this heavy soldier VS heavy soldier duel! Without talking about experience and fame, just by looking at the results of the elimination rounds, Barran's score is only a B-, while Dan Dong's score is an A +, ranking 37th out of the 4 great competition zones! What astonishing strength! With this duel, the Bierlia squadron will still have the chance to eliminate Tianjing with a 4: 1 score! "
Wind God's saliva splattered in all directions as he stood on the podium. Passion soared in the air, while the supporters of the Bierlia squadron on the Skylink once again took control of their position. However, at this moment, Tianjing's counterattack had started to show its might. Regardless of what was said, he had won the 1st duel in a clean and direct manner. Now, he finally had the confidence to launch a counterattack. Furthermore, all of the Tianjing students who had seen Barran's performance in the duel against Adolf were brimming with anticipation. He had already created a miracle, and there would be a second, and a third time!
On the Skylink, the supporters of Bierlia Academy had finally come back to life.
"Isn't that the Eastern Region's Nervous bro from the TOP5 Comedians?"
"Seven seconds of real man!"
"Don't be too careless. This heavy soldier still has an extremely astonishing performance on the offensive stage. His offensive strength is extremely outstanding."
"What's the use of just having an outstanding offensive strength? If you can't defend against your opponent's attacks, before you can even land a single punch, your opponent will have already sent 10 punches at you. Aren't you just a live target? Regardless of how much strength you have, it's just a decoration!"
"Do your best, senior Dan Dong! Rise up Bierlia Academy! Don't give any more chances to the weak chicken squadron! "
"4: 1! 4: 1! "
At this moment, Dan Dong's attention was completely focused on the rather young and inexperienced heavy soldier opposite him.
Dan Dong wasn't Yingren, and didn't possess such terrifying and exaggerated talent. However, he was the absolute cornerstone of the Bierlia squadron. What he possessed was a solid heavy soldier foundation and outstanding stability. He was a man that even Eddie could trust his back to. Such a man that could make others feel at ease would never underestimate anyone, regardless of who he was up against.
Back when he had confirmed his match with Tianjing yesterday, he had already done a detailed analysis of the members of the Tianjing squadron. His impression of this heavy soldier, Barran, was especially deep.
From the elimination rounds, Dan Dong could see that his opponent's S rank performance in the aspect of offensive strength was only due to a single charge. Frankly speaking, he was extremely ordinary in other aspects. Even though he could see that he had lost control due to nervousness during the defensive duel, a heavy soldier that didn't even possess any defensive instincts would absolutely not be able to completely use nervousness to cover up his weaknesses.
Dan Dong understood heavy soldiers all too well. Barran's physique didn't make him appear like an outstanding heavy soldier, while his strength was rather unstable, fluctuating to such a degree. This wasn't an ordinary case of a heavy soldier being biased in certain areas. It could only mean that his overall standard was weak. If one wanted to unleash the might of his charge, one might need to overdraft one's strength and explosiveness. However, all of these were short-lived. Therefore, as long as one was able to block this attack of his, his opponent would definitely be out of tricks.
He appeared to be casually carrying a thick runic shield. It wasn't very large, being only half the size of a tower shield. Nevertheless, it was more suited to defend against sharp and explosive attacks.
"Come." Said Dan Dong in an indifferent tone, his tone giving off a feeling as though he was giving pointers to a junior. His opponent was an emotional type. Therefore, it would be extremely advantageous for Dan Dong to take the lead in his mental state.
However, Barran's expression was extremely resolute, completely unlike the awkward and childish nervousness he had shown during the elimination rounds. He could be considered to have experienced quite a bit of things, so he wasn't constantly nervous. Nevertheless, he still felt the pressure of combat.
Just as he was about to step onto the stage, Wang Zhong suddenly spoke out. "There's no need for the shield. Let's go all out!"
In terms of defence, Barran's standard was definitely the weakest amongst the heavy soldiers. In such a situation, the only way to obtain victory was through offence. Barran's speciality lay in group defence, while his body was more suited for offence. Although emotional type soldiers weren't stable, they could still create miracles if used properly.
At this moment, Wang Zhong wasn't just here to train his troops. Instead, it was time for Barran to truly prove his strength.
Upon seeing Barran putting down his tower shield and stepping onto the stage, intense cheers immediately rang out from the surroundings, with the Skylink exploding into an uproar. This was a naked ridicule! One had to know that his opponent, Dan Dong, was a heavy soldier ranked within the top 40 of the Federation!
"Please advise me!" For some unknown reason, Barran, who had put down his tower shield, suddenly felt enlightened.
Grai, who was seated beside Wang Zhong, gave a faint smile. Using simple methods to deal with simple people was a unique trait of Wang Zhong's.
There was no one else present in the eyes of the 2, with absolute focus and solemnity present within them. Heavy soldier VS heavy soldier. Unlike other occupations, heavy soldiers didn't have as many variations in the details. Instead, they focused on both offence and defence, causing various small tricks to become unimportant. Offence was offence, while defence was defence! What would affect the outcome of a fight was absolute strength, as well as absolute vigour! Playing tricks? It was extremely difficult for small attacks to directly knock down one's opponent. On the contrary, it would only weaken one's vigour, allowing one to be dominated by the opponent!
As their gazes met, a thick and heavy aura started to condense between the 2 heavy soldiers, appearing as though an invisible wall had appeared between them, causing the entire stage to turn solemn.
"Both sides are exceedingly full of vigour. When two sides meet on a narrow path, only the courageous will emerge victorious! The contest between heavy soldiers is determined by the difference in strength. However, it has to be said that defensive techniques are of utmost importance. Being partial to one aspect isn't good. This heavy soldier from Tianjing is still a little too immature. "
Dan Dong took a deep breath. His squadron had lost the first duel. Snatching this duel would allow Bierlia Academy to regain the initiative, and was also a necessary condition for them to eliminate their opponents 4: 1.
Ding! The bell rang, signaling the start of the duel!
The muscles on Dan Dong's entire body instantly swelled up, causing his heavy armour to expand by a notch. At the same time, his entire being appeared just like an armoured tank as he charged forward at high speed! His steps caused the entire stage to faintly tremble!
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Just like a terrifying giant beast, rumbling sounds rang out from the stage! However, the heavy and terrifying momentum of his charge was completely unable to affect or frighten his opponent.
Frankly speaking, Barran appeared just like a newbie in comparison. That's right, he didn't know how to use any of the heavy armour techniques. His control over his muscles was also much weaker. Regardless of how one looked at him, he appeared just like a freshman. Such a person was actually able to stand on the main stage of the CHF!
His empty hands caused Barran to subconsciously grope around. In the next instant, he started to focus. There was only one path left for him to take, and that was to knock his opponent over!
His heavy and solid body galloped across the stage, causing the sound of his charge to be not the slightest bit weaker than Dan Dong's!
If Dan Dong was like a giant bear-like beast, the sprinting Barran was like a purebred Tutankhamun Golden Bison. Although his physique wasn't as strong as Dan Dong's, the indomitable aura and drive radiating from him was far superior!
The entire stage faintly trembled, with even an amateur heavy soldier being able to feel exactly how astonishing the unparalleled force of his charge was!
Regardless of the stadium or the Skylink, everyone started to tense up once again. Despite the majority of people favoring Dan Dong, who was ranked far higher than Barran in this elimination round, they were still rather shocked to see the force of Barran's charge with their own eyes.
"Both sides have started their charge!" Wind God's commentator followed up in time. "A showdown between heavy soldiers is usually decided in an instant! The first charge is at its peak, the second charge is at its weakest, and the third charge is at its peak! The first exchange of blows is when both sides are at their peak in terms of physique, stamina, strength, techniques and other aspects. It will directly affect the outcome of the entire fight, and is of utmost importance! Wait a minute, Dan Dong has actually stopped?! "
Suddenly stopping in the midst of a high-speed charge???
Everyone was left speechless. This was an extremely foolish move in a showdown between heavy soldiers. Why would it appear on Dan Dong?
Nevertheless, a confident and resolute expression appeared on Dan Dong's face. His charge was originally a feint. His opponent had given up on defence, giving up on the foundation of a heavy soldier. Therefore, there was even less of a need for him to face his opponent head-on. As long as he could defend against his opponent's attacks, what use would this Barran have?
Below the stage, Eddie gave a faint nod of his head. That's what a rational soldier should be like. This Barran's strengths and weaknesses were extremely obvious. Clearly, he was trying to use an all or nothing method to allow himself to erupt with power. Who knew if he had any hidden killing moves? A stable and stable defence would ensure absolute success!
Once his attacks were ineffective, all of Barran's weaknesses would be completely exposed!
This was a fight! The process wasn't important, but the outcome!
This was Dan Dong's plan. Messing up Barran's rhythm was the first step. This was a gamble on a psychological and technical level. It had to be said that his opponent was indeed very immature, as he was unable to see that Dan Dong had been holding back during his charge.
As of now, his opponent's rhythm had already been messed up. At the very most, he would only be able to maintain 80% of his peak strength. Even if he was an S rank heavy soldier, Dan Dong had a 200% chance of defending against 80% of his strength!
Once a heavy soldier went all out in defence and made preparations for a counter attack, a brainless frontal charge like this would completely result in death.
At this moment, no matter how stupid Barran was, he had already realised his opponent's plan. However, he already had no other path of retreat. The only thing he could do was to crush his opponent. If not, he would be the one being crushed!
Ever since he had arrived at Tianjing, he had been smashing his opponents every single day. Every single training session had continuously increased his confidence. He wanted to fight a fight without any regrets!
ROAR ~ ~ ~
The heavy force smashed against Dan Dong's runic thick shield with a loud bang, causing a deafening explosion to ring out. A shockwave spread out in all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye, with the location where the two of them had collided. It was like a gigantic shockwave!
Although he had the runic shield to defend, Dan Dong could still feel the terrifying force behind the shockwave. The first wave was still alright, but the hidden force behind the second wave nearly caused him to vomit blood. Fortunately, he had an abundance of experience, and was able to tell from the videos that his opponent's attack wasn't as simple as it seemed.
He was the shield of Bierlia Academy! He could withstand it!
As the shockwave dissipated, Dan Dong grimaced in pain. It was finally his turn. His opponent's only method of attack had already been neutralised. He wanted to properly let this brat who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth experience what a heavy soldier was!
Seemingly everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, while secretly sighing in pity. This Barran had a slightly stupid brute strength. The might of his attack could be felt from the vibrations of his runic shield. However, he didn't have a single shred of brain. Now, he's finished.
The Tianjing students could only sigh in regret. They too wanted Barran to create a miracle. However, everyone knew that Barran was too easy to counter and counter. Frankly speaking, as long as his opponent paid a little more attention, he would be fine.
However, just as Dan Dong was about to counterattack, a warning sign appeared. RUMBLE …
