He wasn't afraid of being matched up against Gaden or Adam, as this was different from the fight against Bierlia Academy. It was nigh impossible for Tianjing to defeat their opponents in the duel phase. Therefore, a group battle was inevitable. If possible, the best scenario would be to preserve Grai's strength for the group battle.
Therefore, Wang Zhong was making a bet. If he was right, it would be much easier for them to enter the group battle phase. If he was wrong, Tianjing would still have the strength to fight. Based on this train of thought, there was no difference between Grai's participation in this duel or the next one. Tianjing still had a chance.
Wang Zhong shot a look at Barran, who nodded his head and stood up. He knew that this was the time to face the test!
Every single member of the squadron had a special meaning to Barran, and Colby was the same. Although Colby and Barran didn't have much interaction, Barran could already feel a clump of fire burning in his chest when he saw Barran's limp appearance.
"It's Barran!" The eyes of quite a few people watching via Skylink lit up. In the previous duel, the scene of the heavy soldier, Dan Dong, who was able to squeeze into the top 40 of the CHF, being crushed by Barran had left a rather deep impression on quite a few people. If Wang Zhong and Grai were the trump cards of Tianjing, this Barran could at least be considered as one of their celebrity participants.
"Barran, the TOP5 heavy soldier in the elimination rounds! The offensive strength of an S rank heavy soldier! "
"We've only let you guys win a duel earlier. This time, it's not a substitute! Tianjing's starting to show their strength! "
"Go Barran! Take back a duel!"
"Ha ha. What an ignorant fellow. What TOP5 heavy soldier. Only people from Tianjing would care about those rankings that don't have any value."
"The eyesight of the country bumpkins is worrying. They actually want to rely on such a youngster to take back a duel. Do they think that Bella Dean is trash like the Bierlia squadron?"
"Haha! I don't know about the TOP5 for brilliance, but this Barran from the TOP5 for comedy is really eye-catching. Brother Nervous of the Eastern Region, a real man in 7 seconds! His endurance is so weak. What a waste of that big head of his. "
The Bella Dean fans mercilessly retaliated, causing the smell of gunpowder in the Skylink to grow thicker and thicker. Frankly speaking, Wind God felt that these bullet screen comments were geniuses in creating topics. There were some jokes that even he couldn't think of. Indeed, there were experts amongst the masses.
Divian was also paying attention to the situation over here.
Sitting in the spacious little VIP room, Divian sipped on her orange juice in a rather leisurely manner. The Seer squadron also had a match today. However, it clearly wasn't much of a challenge for the Seer squadron. In fact, Divian didn't even plan on showing her face. She would just leave it to those fellows, while she had the time and energy to look at the things she wanted to see.
"They're actually sending that heavy soldier out?" Other than Divian, Karl was the only person in the squadron who was free. His ban from the CHF would only end after the next match. For the past 2 days, he had been forcefully grounded by Divian, who had forced him to not take a single step out of her sight. Fortunately, watching the match between Tianjing and Bella Dean wasn't too boring. "Or do you want to deal with the king and king of the other party? That Wang Zhong's thinking a little too much. Bella Dean isn't a squadron that only has 2 to 3 members. "
"The sorrow of a weak team." A smile appeared on Divian's face. Things like tactics would become meaningless once they were made transparent, especially against an S ranked seedling squadron like Bella Dean. Wang Zhong was too naive! Did he really think that the others wouldn't have any ideas?
What was an S-rank seeded team? Just because he possessed the Mo's List? Or was it just because he had the title of one of the 10 Great Families?
All of these guesses were wrong. A genuine S ranked seedling squadron's strength lay in the depth of their bench, as well as their balanced strength! Even if they were to randomly pull out an unknown substitute, such as the substitute soldier of the Seer squadron, that person would be Divian's sparring partner every single day. Furthermore, he would be able to block at least a dozen moves from Divian! One would be marked by the company one kept, and one would be marked by the company one kept. There was not a single weakling in any S-rank squadron. Just like the assassin Du Lei who had subdued Colby. Others might not know about him, but Divian knew that he was an amazing person who had nearly obtained the title of Quasi Sanctuary Division 2 years ago.
Using tactics against an S ranked seedling squadron? Trying to counter them?
That's basically a dream! A strong squadron wasn't afraid of any counter! If they wanted to defeat a stronger squadron, the only way to do so was to cut straight in. All of their tricks would be useless. At the end of the day, they still had to rely on Wang Zhong and that Grai. That was the fight that Divian was truly looking forward to.
She believed that they would understand this point after this match.
Entering the arena, Barran quietly waited for his opponent.
Bang!
A pair of gigantic leather boots stepped onto the stage. Standing on the stage was a figure the size of a small mountain, with a height of 2.45 metres. Dense hair and dark skin covered his entire body, causing him to appear just like a thick and sturdy black gorilla! His fists smashed fiercely against his palms, causing a bang to ring out. Just like the sound produced by a pneumatic compressor, the Soul Power shockwave that surged out from the collision blew towards Barran's face.
"You're finished, brat." With a cheeky chuckle, he made a thumbs down gesture towards Barran with his left hand.
"Paulista! Paulista! "
A wave of cheers instantly rang out from the viewing gallery. Bella Dean's chief heavy soldier!
Barran could be considered a big fellow. However, regardless of height or girth, he was clearly a size smaller than this fellow. Furthermore, his aura was also far inferior.
"It's Paulista! He's ranked 7th amongst all the participating heavy soldiers in the elimination rounds! He's Bella Dean's chief heavy soldier! Looks like Tianjing's plans have failed. Genuine strong squadrons have experienced many trials and tribulations. There's no way to deal with them. They'll just have to deal with whatever comes their way. Naturally, such an outcome is definitely within Tianjing's expectations. They should have already made sufficient mental preparations when they sent Barran out. They're probably hoping that this young general, who had unleashed an S rank attack, would be able to create a miracle. However, I want to say that they're thinking too much! "
Including the host, various kinds of wantonly clamouring noises filled the entire viewing gallery. Everyone was here to watch the show, and Wang Zhong's little tricks were completely useless. It was truly childish of him to hope that Bella Dean would be able to become the king of kings after sending out an 'A'.
With a smile on his face, Wind God said, "Looks like our Tianjing captain Wang Zhong is still brimming with confidence. Let's wait and see."
Ma Dong closed his Skylink. If he was here, he would definitely use his shoe to thrash that Wind God to death. What the fuck! Could it be that Tianjing was raised by a stepmother that he couldn't bear to see?
Everyone likes to flatter the stinky feet of aristocratic families. Sooner or later, I'll let them know who's the real expert!
Ma Dong did not waste any more words. He knew that Wang Zhong was All Mouthy King. However, Wang Zhong was only a single person, and his opponent was Bella Dean. If it was a 1v1, Ma Dong believed that Wang Zhong would definitely be able to enter the semifinals. However, Tianjing was truly a hindrance in the group battle. Being a member of the Assassin Family, Ma Dong still possessed this bit of foresight. Furthermore, being from an assassin family, optimism wasn't part of his nature.
Barran wasn't too affected by Bella Dean's words. After experiencing so much, he had grown quite a bit. Everyone had seen Bella Dean's performance during the elimination rounds yesterday. This chief heavy soldier by the name of Paulista was a considerably outstanding S rank in both offence and defence. It was definitely impossible for Barran to compete in terms of fundamentals and defence. The only way he could contend against his opponent was through offence.
Staring tightly at his opponent, Barran's Soul Power had already started to condense. Discarding all distracting thoughts, he was going to go all out against his opponent!
Treat this as his final fight! It's either you die or I die!
The goal of training was to allow one's body to develop a reflexive habit. Barran felt as though he had already returned to the training grounds, with everything he was familiar with.
Stabilising his breathing, adjusting his rhythm …
Hu … Hu …
Fight start!
Barran's eyes instantly turned scarlet-red. With a ferocious stomp, he shot forward like a cannonball!
At this moment, the iron tower-like figure had already transformed into a collision machine in the training grounds in Barran's eyes.
The 2nd drive that he had tempered tens of thousands of times was the capital that he would be relying on in this CHF!
All the blood in Barran's body started to boil, with only his opponent present in his eyes!
Now's the time!
Whoosh ~
A soft sound rang out, accompanied by a gust of wind. In the next instant, the rapidly approaching opponent suddenly disappeared from his line of sight.
Barran instantly lost his target, causing him to forcefully come to a stop. With nowhere to go, he stomped on the ground between his legs, causing creaking sounds to ring out from the thick stage.
His opponent had dodged?
Paulista's gigantic body had only taken a step back. This step was just right, yet it was the limit of Barran's attack. Calm and unruffled, he looked towards the strange heavy soldier before him.
Without any hesitation, Barran attacked, attacked, and attacked again. With a ferocious burst of power, he charged forward once again!
However, the same thing happened for the second time.
His attack had missed once again. This feeling was extremely unbearable, as his opponent was just a little outside of his attack range. Despite increasing the range of his charge, his opponent was always outside of his attack range.
Paulista looked towards Barran with a grin, a teasing and disdainful look in his eyes. Crossing his arms, he waited for Barran to turn around once again, before hooking his finger at him with a grin.
"Ha ha ha! Paulista's bullying a little kid! He's basically going to be played to death!"
"This Barran can't do it. His charge feels rather imposing, though he's too clumsy. His reaction speed is also completely unable to keep up. Could this fellow really be a newbie?"
"He only has a little bit of brute force, that's all. To think that he's actually being praised so highly. Ha ha! He can only fight against trash like Bierlia Academy. If he really bumps into an expert, he's simply not enough."
The roaring laughter of countless people had already filled the entire Skylink, while the entire stadium was filled with roaring laughter.
Some of the experts from the various great academies watching via Skylink could already see that they were on a completely different level. Barran only knew such a move. However, Paulista had already completely seen through this move. Such a simple and crude attack could only be used to deal with targets or brainless people. Although it appeared to be a simple act of increasing the distance between them, Paulista's strength was displayed from his rhythm, steps, and control of his movements. He was at least a level higher than Barran.
"Roar!"
The successive defeats did not affect Barran's fighting spirit. He had never felt that he was an expert, and had long gotten used to being teased. At this moment, Barran only had a single thought in his mind, and that was to smash into his opponent!
If the first time wasn't enough, then the second time! If the second time wasn't enough, then the third time! Regardless of how nimble his opponent was, if they wanted to knock him down, they would need to make physical contact. That would be the time for his counterattack!
A heavy soldier's aura would first flourish, second decline, and third exhaustion. This was common sense. However, this didn't seem to apply to Barran.
Barran ~ ~ Tu ~ ~ Lu ~ ~ ~
With a loud roar, Barran's aura grew even stronger. Just like a tank, Soul Power gushed out from his four limbs, causing his condition to rise to an unprecedented level!
However, in the next instant, a flash appeared before his eyes, before the majestic figure disappeared once again. In the next instant, a howling wind pressure rang out from behind him.
Bang!
The heavy giant shield smashed fiercely against the back of Barran's head, causing his head to spin and his entire body to fall forward. However, before he could land on the ground, a gigantic whirlwind assaulted him. Paulista had already arrived by Barran's side. Swinging his giant shield once again, he smashed it fiercely against Barran's head.
Bang …
Just like a spinning top, Barran was smashed back once again. However, Paulista appeared to be addicted to this, as he repeatedly used a soldier's dashing skill. As the giant shield swept out in a seemingly weightless manner, it caused Barran to bleed profusely.
It wasn't that Barran didn't want to retaliate. However, just as he was about to unleash his strength, he was suppressed by the wave-like force. Like a lone boat in the middle of the ocean, he lost control of his body, causing it to sway continuously. This time, he was just a punching bag.
However, he refused to fall. He knew the difficulty of this duel, and wanted to obtain victory. At the very least, he needed to exhaust his opponent. His face had already been smashed into a bloody mess by the giant shield, yet Barran still wanted to retaliate.
A sliver of a sneer appeared at the corner of Paulista's mouth. If this goes on, this idiot will die. He didn't want to have a bad record for killing someone. After all, the absolute disparity in strength would cause some trouble.
With a nimble spiral turn, Paulista's gigantic body didn't appear the slightest bit cumbersome, before smashing his giant shield directly onto Barran's back.
Bang!
Barran's limbs landed on the ground, his head smashing violently against the arena's floor. With a single hand pressed against the back of Barran's neck, Paulista pressed his knee against Barran's back!
Bang …
Barran's head smashed heavily against the ground, causing him to faint, while blood slowly flowed out from his body.
Spitting out a mouthful of saliva, Paulista stood up, shooting an indifferent look at the Tianjing side. What bullshit dark horse! With this level of strength, they actually dare to provoke the mighty Bella Dean!
In the Skylink, all of the Tianjing supporters instantly turned silent. The same went for the Tianjing Academy. The miraculous Barran had been thoroughly beaten like a dog in this duel. How laughable was that little bit of luck when faced against the powerful Bella Dean?
Colby, who had been subdued in the first duel, could be said to be a substitute. However, even Barran had been so easily defeated … Originally, everyone had believed that Tianjing possessed the qualifications to cross hands with any powerful squadron. Could it be that everyone was too full of themselves?
There's no hope for the weak!
No, there shouldn't be any hope!
While Tianjing remained silent, Bella Dean's tempo had already soared. At this moment, the Skylink bullet screen had already been completely occupied. "Paulista 6666!"
"Looks like this Tianjing is just so-so. Even their Wang Zhong and Grai are just so-so. As long as they dare to step out, they'll be taught a lesson!"
"Haha. A squadron that doesn't know the immensity of the heavens and earth after winning against a Bierlia Academy. Aren't they going to call it that now?"
"It's already 2: 0? I've just bought breakfast. It can't be that the duel has already ended before I've even finished eating, right? "
"Haha. The duel has ended rather quickly. Perhaps the Tianjing squadron should wake up a little. Without talking about an opponent like Bella Dean, it's impossible for them to rely on a strange move to obtain victory in the 2nd round, regardless of who they face. Coming to this stage, what's tested is one's solid foundation. Being able to take a beating is also rather important. This young heavy soldier from Tianjing has already received a pretty good lesson.
