Karl's eyes continued to stare at the screen, completely ignoring Divian's words, as he had discovered yet another interesting matter. "That fellow's actually using a sword and shield? Ha, this is interesting. Could it be that he's really the All Mouthy King that killed our captain, like what the Skylink said? "
Divian shot a cold glare at him. "No one will treat you as a mute if you don't speak!"
Not only was Karl shocked, even the host, Wind God, as well as everyone else watching the match, were slightly stunned.
Wasn't that fellow an assassin? He's actually using a sword and shield? What the hell was that? Acting pretentious?
"His opponent is Gaden. There's no reason for him to choose this place to act pretentious. Could it be that the dagger he used in the previous match was the real smokescreen?"
"Does he really think that he's All Mouthy King?"
"Regardless of who he is, facing Gaden will only result in death! That laughable halo of Tianjing Academy's should come to an end! "
In an instant, discussions rang out from all directions, causing Wind God to regain his senses. At this moment, he had a bad premonition. What a familiar rhythm. "That's a little unexpected. The Tianjing squadron has finally started to pull some tricks. This seems to be their usual style. In the previous match, Grai, who had appeared as an assassin, had actually chosen to use a sword and shield to face off against Gaden Bella Dean! Frankly speaking, soldiers and assassins are both occupations that swing between the two. Therefore, both occupations should have dabbled in the most basic and conventional weapons. However, everyone knows that the elusive assassin is the nemesis of a ranged soldier. However, Grai, who originally possessed astonishing strength as an assassin, has chosen to use a sword and shield. Is he planning to face Gaden head-on? Although I don't know exactly how strong he is as a soldier, not taking advantage of one of the 5 great Mo's List ranged soldiers, Gaden, I personally feel that such a move is truly too rash! "
As they spoke, both sides had already taken their positions.
Grai's expression was as calm as an ancient well. Faced against the most mysterious ranged soldier on the Mo's List, he did show some excitement and interest before stepping onto the stage. However, upon stepping onto the stage, his heart immediately became as calm as still water.
Excitement might be able to increase one's fighting spirit and aura, but it wasn't something that a soldier like Grai needed. At this moment, he was faintly radiating an aura that was as deep and bottomless as an abyss, causing people to be unable to see through him.
Gaden narrowed his eyes as he sized up the opponent in front of him. He had already seen the video of his opponent's first duel with Yingren. It had to be said that he had hidden his strength quite well. Weapons were not important, as his strength was definitely not limited to what he had displayed in the first duel. This was especially so for Gaden to feel a sliver of excitement in his heart. Coupled with the screams and screams of the surrounding women, that sliver of excitement would turn into a frenzy. He loved this kind of setup too much. Such a perfect and formidable opponent, struggling and trembling in his hands. What he loved the most was to appreciate this kind of despair!
Gordon's eyes narrowed into slits.
What he hated the most in his life were gigolos, especially these kinds of gigolos that were popular with women! If such a fellow could be made into a specimen, it would definitely be an interesting collection.
Four pairs of eyes stared at each other. For a moment, the scene was as silent as a painting. The clamor around them did not affect the two of them at all.
Ding!
The competition bell rang out. With a light tap of his feet, Grai shot forward like an arrow.
In a fight between a close combat soldier and a ranged soldier, everything depended on distance. The former needed to do all he could to get closer, while the latter needed to maintain a safe distance from the latter.
Grai's dash was fast and swift, appearing just like a gust of wind.
Gaden flipped his wrist that was hidden under his loose grey robe, and a black crossbow appeared in his hand.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
No one saw him raise his crossbow. In fact, no one even saw him aim his crossbow. With a flick of his wrist, 4 to 5 crossbow bolts streaked across the sky.
These were clearly crossbow bolts condensed from Soul Power. Any ranged soldier would be able to do this. However, to be able to shoot 4 to 5 crossbow bolts in an instant like Gaden was slightly hard to imagine.
The crossbow bolts left the bowstring at a high speed, while a faint green glow could be seen.
Grai's eyes appeared behind the small round shield. Although it was relatively easy to use the round shield to block the crossbow bolts, the rhythm of his dash would definitely be messed up. In a fight between a close combat soldier and a ranged soldier, distance was the key to victory.
Taking advantage of the momentum, he slid to the left, causing his body to flutter like a willow leaf.
A swaying figure rushed through the barrage of crossbow bolts at a high speed. A few crossbow bolts appeared to have pierced right through Grai's body. However, they did not leave a single scratch on him. In fact, there wasn't even the slightest bit of hindrance to his momentum.
50 metres! 40 metres!
Countless Bella Dean fans watching via Skylink held their breaths. He actually dares to ignore Gaden's rapid fire? This Grai seems to be slightly different from the previous Barran. With such a speed, could he really close in on me in an instant?
In the distance, Gaden's rat eyes narrowed once again, with not a single trace of panic present on his face.
Peak rank Ghostly Steps? What a free and easy move! Coupled with that handsome face of his, it truly caused people to hate him even more!
Heh …
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
What appeared to be the same rapid fire barrage appeared to be slightly off course, with 7 to 8 crossbow bolts completely dispersing in all directions. However, in the next instant, just like a gaping mouth suddenly closing, all of the crossbow bolts abruptly changed their trajectories, intertwining with one another as they flew around each other. In an instant, the trajectories of all the crossbow bolts had become unpredictable, intertwining to form an arrow net that no one could clearly see!
Arced arrows! What's more, it was 7 arrows fired at the same time!
The entire competition grounds turned silent. Everyone knew that despite being a Mo's List expert, Grai's strength was absolutely capable of putting up a fight against him. However, they did not know how far he could go.
Although Grai was an assassin, the soldier's equipment he was equipped with was more stable against a Mo's List ranged soldier. Wanting to rush to the side of a Mo's List ranged soldier at such a distance was truly a fantasy.
Grai's figure no longer swayed about. The unpredictable trajectory of the arced arrow formation was basically the bane of Ghostly Steps.
He seemed to have thought things through too simply.
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!
The arced arrow formation was incomparably crafty, with the runic sword and the small round shield simultaneously parrying left and right. With a flick and a flick, a few of the crossbow bolts narrowly brushed past his body. Although he had neutralized this wave of attacks, his forward speed had clearly been hindered.
As the crossbow bolts flew across the competition grounds, mixed with the sounds of Grai's parrying, the rhythm of the competition appeared to have instantly slowed down.
Only at this moment did many of the audience regain their senses. The exchange of attacks and defences between the 2 was too quick, with every single detail causing people to be entranced.
"I'm not boasting, but this Grai does have some skill."
"I'm so worried! I nearly hit him just now! That ugly freak's too wretched! He only knows how to shoot arrows from afar!"
"Fuck! He's a ranged soldier! Can you girls not talk like that!"
"Grai's momentum has been hindered. In the face of a professional ranged soldier, it'll be extremely hard for him to get a second chance to advance if his first wave doesn't succeed. Their combined attacks will definitely seal the soldier to death." Wind God's analysis was clearly more professional than the laymen in the audience. "The main theme is still the distance between both parties. However, at this moment, it'll be a competition of their fundamentals. Is the soldier faster, or is the ranged soldier more tightly sealed! We can see that Gaden's movements are considerably quick. While maintaining the frequency and accuracy of his rapid fire, he's actually able to move at such a high speed. With such fundamentals, he's truly worthy of being one of the 5 great Mo's List ranged soldiers! It'll be rather difficult for Tianjing's Grai to close in on Gaden while being sealed. However, as long as he makes the slightest mistake and gets hit by Gaden's arrow, it'll be no laughing matter. Sigh. From the looks of it, he's doing pretty well … "
