Although they might not possess absolute suppressive strength in individual battles, their captain, Papada, with a flaming whip in his hand, was actually crazy enough to add 3 long ranged cannons to the group battle lineup! After all, the combined firepower of 4 people was even more terrifying than Sharmie's firepower. Furthermore, the defence was completely handled by Oli alone. The A + New Holy City squadron had a 3: 2 lead over the Blazing Angels in the individual battles, and possessed top-notch strength. However, they were basically beaten to the point of not being able to find their bearings in the group battle. Even with the combined strength of 5 people, they weren't able to break through Oli's defensive barrier in the slightest, before turning into ashes under the terrifying firepower of Oli.
As long as they were dragged into the group battle by the Blazing Angels, they would become a headache for the Stuart squadron. Everyone for me, I for everyone! Never give up!
64 out of 128. Although it seemed like a lot, with the 10 arenas simultaneously exerting their strength and rotating the number of matches, the final match of the afternoon of the 3rd day, which was the match between the Blazing Angels and the New Holy City, ended. The entire 1st round of the CHF had come to a successful conclusion.
There were some that were happy, while there were some that were sad. Not all of the strong and powerful squadrons would definitely have the opportunity to enter the 2nd round. Strength wasn't absolute in a CHF, and there were times where a little bit of luck was needed. However, the weak squadrons definitely did not have the chance to advance to the 2nd round through luck. Although the seemingly random drawing of lots had, in fact, followed a certain set of rules.
After the end of the CHF, the TOP10 highlights released by the officials immediately dominated the entire Skylink. What was surprising was that there weren't many Mo's List members among the S ranked squadrons that had received much attention. Naturally, this was due to them not having to display too much of their strength against weaker opponents.
Two C ranked squadrons with extremely astonishing performances had obtained 5 spots in the TOP 10, with Tianjing taking 2 spots, and Giant God Peak taking 3 spots.
In summary, Giant God Peak was indeed the most glorious squadron in the 1st round. This was largely due to their opponent, Dicaprio.
Ever since the rise of brother King, there were quite a few people that followed his lead in the real world and the OP. However, there wasn't a single person that could be considered as an expert! At the very least, there wasn't anyone before Dicaprio.
It had to be said that Dicaprio's control over the cross wheels was indeed breathtaking. Regardless of whether he was All Mouthy King or not, he had already attracted sufficient attention and displayed absolute strength. The difficulty in controlling the cross wheels lay in the connection between the retraction and attack. Dicaprio had indeed achieved this.
The other Giant God Peak member that had entered the TOP10 was also exceedingly breathtaking. The offensive type heavy soldier, Pilas Labilla, wasn't chosen due to his great strength. Giant hammers were the favourite weapon of choice for many strength type heavy soldiers. However, there weren't many that could swing them like him. Not only did he have a peak attack, there seemed to be something else contained within it. Once one's combat techniques reached a certain level, it was impossible to analyse it just by watching videos. Personally experiencing it was a completely different matter. As for the assassin Fernandes, his Petrification special ability was even more impossible to defend against. It was said that he lived by the sea, and had been bitten by a sea snake in his youth.
In the face of such an opponent, perhaps anyone would have a headache. This was the most practical and direct kind of special ability.
Therefore, the unknown Giant God Peak immediately became a first rate powerhouse.
Indeed, Tianjing's performance was breathtaking. If not for Giant God Peak's performance, they would have been unrivalled. Their exploding double layered lotuses, as well as their domineering subduing of a Mo's List assassin.
This was especially true for their captain, Wang Zhong. All along, Wang Zhong had the impression that he was the brains of the squadron, as well as a ranged soldier. However, from the looks of it now, he was indeed an intelligent person. He had merely used a smokescreen to conceal his true identity as an assassin!
Within the current CHF, there were already 7 to 8 people that had the possibility of becoming All Mouthy King. Amongst them were aristocrats, as well as commoners. After the first round, everyone was more inclined towards commoners. This wasn't due to their reasoning, as they felt that commoners should have a spokesperson.
"Support Dicaprio! He's the only man I've ever seen who can use the Cross Wheel like Brother King! "
"It doesn't look like it. Would Brother King wear such thick glasses?"
"Primary school student? The OP only scanned one's combat strength and physical fitness. Things like myopia could be ignored in the OP. Furthermore, don't you guys feel that it would be more interesting if Brother King was a bespectacled guy? "
"It feels a little wretched …"
"On the contrary, I feel that Wang Zhong is more like him. Although his moves are different, he has the bearing of brother King."
"It's mainly about temperament. That's subduing! Furthermore, his opponent is the Mo's List assassin, Eddie! "
What was subduing? In fact, many commoners had blank expressions on their faces when they heard Wind God shout out this term, as it was too rare to see such a thing.
In a duel, both sides would be able to completely suppress and restrict the movements of their opponent in close combat to obtain victory. That was called subduing!
Regardless of whether it was a low-end duel or a high-level duel, such a scene was truly too rare. Unless both sides were actors, or the disparity in strength was too great, it was basically impossible for one to completely restrict the movements of one's opponent in an actual combat. Even if there was such a scene, it would usually only appear on the battlefield of heavy soldiers. A giant the size of a small mountain would have his head firmly pressed against the ground, his hands and legs pressed against the ground, unable to move even after digging a deep hole in the ground! Subduing through strength. This was already a term used in heavy soldier battlefields.
Assassin? Subdued?
A speed-type assassin with lethal weapons all over his body. The possibility of being subdued was infinitely close to zero! Unless one had absolute confidence in oneself, and had absolute control over the entire duel, no one would dare to do such a thing to an assassin. Compared to such a dangerous move, people would be more willing to knock their opponent unconscious if they had the chance!
However, that captain Wang Zhong from Tianjing had done such a thing! What's more, he had accomplished it! What's more, the opponent he had subdued was actually the Mo's List assassin, Eddie! Be it the sealing of one's 5 senses, grabbing a blade with one's bare hands, as well as the final subduing, no one would believe it.
"How domineering! He has the style of brother King, and even has the word 'King' in his name! Compared to captain Dicaprio, I'm more optimistic about this Wang Zhong! "
"Save it, all of you! Our Grai is the king!" Those supporting Grai weren't convinced. The double layered lotus was similarly an upgraded version of brother King's move. An all-rounded soldier using an assassin's dagger did give off a slight resemblance to brother King's random choice of weapon. However, the most important factor was that he was handsome.
Regardless of the otaku Dicaprio or the overbearing Wang Zhong, both of them were definitely unable to match up to Grai in terms of handsomeness. Reality had proven that little fresh meats were the favourite in the hearts of the female audience. This had already surpassed the topic of brother King, as Grai was now a complete mess of fame.
"Shut your mouth, love-struck fool! Is there an expert that has crossed hands with brother King to come out and talk about it? "
"Where's brother Yingren?"
"I'm begging for brother Lan's analysis!"
Divian did not stand out to give her analysis. However, that didn't mean that she wasn't paying attention to it. If one were to talk about feelings, she wasn't able to analyse it. All Mouthy King's growth rate in the OP was too fast. She was already unable to see through him during his duel with Papada. If one were to talk about unique points, brother King's greatest unique point was that he didn't have any unique points. He was truly too all-rounded. It was basically impossible to determine which of the 3 was All Mouthy King based on a single fight. However, if they were to bump into each other, she would definitely be able to tell.
Standing at the height she was at, no matter how great a god was, there wasn't too much of a mystery to Divian. Although she was curious and attracted to them, they weren't that important. What truly caught her attention was the fact that Wang Zhong had actually killed Eddie. What's more, he had even subdued him.
Divian could not help but think back to the time in the coffee shop, where the male had turned around with a faint smile on his face. Although the feeling he gave Divian at that time was straightforward, there was still a slight feeling of contempt in her heart. Generally speaking, only weaklings would give up so easily, as they would feel the disparity between them that they would never be able to overcome no matter how hard they tried. However, at this moment, Divian was truly unable to understand what was going on.
A person that was able to write a thesis in the monthly journal of the Institute of Sciences, and was also able to subdue Eddie on the battlefield. How could a man like him, who had both strength and intelligence, be a weakling? How could he not have confidence in himself?
"Thank you. Also, goodbye."
At that moment, the lowly self-esteem that Divian had seen as a weakling had changed. At this moment, he felt rather free and at ease, as though he had been freed from his burden.
Although Divian felt that the decision made by Carolyn and Wang Zhong was extremely correct, the disparity between their statuses was like the heavens and the earth. It was destined that the 2 of them would not be on the same level in the future. Regardless of how outstanding Wang Zhong was, a ruler was a ruler, while a commoner was a commoner. Regardless of how outstanding a commoner was, his thoughts and pursuits would never be able to reach the same level as a ruler.
However, frankly speaking, Wang Zhong would most likely cause some trouble for Carolyn.
This was a rather mysterious feeling.
Regardless of whether he was All Mouthy King or not, as well as the matter between him and Carolyn, what kind of position would he be able to reach in this CHF? What kind of person would he become in the future? Would he be a true dragon that would soar to the heavens, or a short-lived flower?
All of a sudden, Divian really wanted to know the answer.
Just as she was thinking about this, the door to her room was pushed open, as a bearded Karl returned. From the looks of it, he had not washed his face for a few days.
Carolyn had done quite a bit of help to get Karl out so quickly. However, despite his return, he had been given a 3 match ban by the organizing committee of the CHF. Therefore, they had to wait for this scandal to blow over first.
"I'm starving to death! I'm starving to death! Captain, do you have anything to eat? Hurry up! The feeling of being able to see the light of day has instantly whetted my appetite! " Karl rubbed his hands together, a cheeky grin appearing on his face. At this moment, there was not the slightest bit of shadow in his heart from being schemed against. "That's right! Where's my girlfriend? Captain, you didn't make things difficult for her, right? "
"I don't want to make things difficult for her, but I want to kill her!" Seer's voice was rather rude. Originally, she was in a rather good mood. However, after seeing the cheeky grin on that fellow's face, she started to feel infuriated.
"Don't, don't, captain. A goddess like you can't do such a cruel thing."
Although he had been schemed against, flies wouldn't bite a seamless egg. This fellow had a huge pile of problems, and it wasn't easy to get him back. Yet, he still had to be temporarily banned from the CHF. The first 2 matches were still alright. However, being one of the absolute mainstays of the squadron, if he were to be absent from the later matches … Just thinking about it caused Seer's head to swell. Not only did this fellow not have the slightest intention of reflecting on his actions, he actually had the cheek to ask about his troublemaking girlfriend. "I just want to ask. You're actually able to smile after causing so much trouble? Furthermore, you're actually treating a woman who can sell you off the moment she turns around as your girlfriend? Do you have any brains? Don't you know how to learn your lesson, you idiot? "
"How can you say that I'm selling her off?" Replied Karl with a deadpan expression. "I believe that Carma definitely has her own difficulties. She's definitely being coerced by someone. Just thinking about it makes me feel terrible …"
"Are you purposely trying to disgust me? Are you a casanova? " If not for the fact that this fellow had already suffered for a few days, Divian would have almost taken action. "Is there nothing else that interests you other than women?"
"Captain, you're making me too sad! You're the one who told us to protect our female friends more, and to be more loving! " Karl hammered his chest and stamped his feet, feeling a heart-wrenching pain. "I've completely listened to your commands and arrangements to rescue them from the abyss of suffering. Even if I've caused trouble and caused trouble, I have no regrets. However, you're going to deny it now!"
Divian finally could not bear it any longer and took action. "Scram!"
Karl ran off in a flash with a grin. Not long after, a head popped in. "Captain, there's actually a different flavor when you're angry!"
Bang …
The pen holder smashed against the door, while Karl's laughter rang out from outside.
The investigation quickly revealed that Karl's matter was indeed not a big deal. His opponent's goal was just to disgust them. Clearly, the Federation was happy to see such a matter happen. Just as Carolyn had said, the checks and balances between the great families were extremely important to maintaining the balance within the Federation.
Although they understood this balance, they could not be overly concerned about it. They still had to do what they needed to do. The reason why their families had dealt with this matter so quickly was due to how important this CHF was to them. Something seemed to be about to happen.
As the smoke of gunpowder settled from the top 64, the fights for the top 32 became even more intense. As long as one managed to get through the first round, there would be no strongest, only stronger ones. There was no longer much room for them to try their luck.
Once the CHF had passed the first round of the official CHF, the previous rankings would no longer be important. At this moment, strength represented everything. At this moment, the honour and glory they once held would become a burden. If they were not careful, they would become the cornerstone of other squadrons.
However, even so, there was still hope, as well as despair. In the 2nd round, the Tianjing squadron had actually bumped into an S ranked squadron, Bella Dean.
That's right, S ranked. There were only 64 squadrons left in the CHF. Of these, there would definitely be 10 squadrons bumping into an S ranked squadron. This was unavoidable. After the 1st round, although Tianjing's overall strength wasn't too balanced, there were still a few extremely unique positions within their squadron. Therefore, they definitely had the strength of an A ranked squadron. If their 2nd opponent was also an A ranked or even an A + ranked squadron, they would have a very high chance of making history for Tianjing Academy and entering the 3rd round. However, their good luck had run out, as they had bumped into an S ranked killing god, Bella Dean!
It was human nature. Once they discovered that they were strong, hope would definitely be born within them. After sweeping their opponents 4: 0 in the 1st round, the students of Tianjing Academy had already ignited their hopes. With such strength, not advancing a step further would be akin to missing out on a golden opportunity bestowed by the heavens. However, just as they were filled with hope, with a few hundred of them forming groups and heading towards Stuart City, they received this "nightmare".
