The first day of the round-of-32 was, without a doubt, a festival for the black horses. After Giant God Peak's powerful advancement in the 1st round, they had turned even more violent in the 2nd round of the CHF, eliminating their equally powerful A rank opponent with an unbelievable 4: 0 score. They had already completely displayed the strength of an S rank. Not only that, the balance of their various positions, their talent, as well as their coordination in group battles were all given extremely high evaluations.
Nevertheless, all of the limelight on the first day had been attracted by a squadron called Tianjing.
Most importantly, their team leader's domineering stance had already been imprinted into the minds of countless people, and they would never be able to forget it.
Compared to Wang Zhong, Dicaprio's cross wheels were indeed child's play. That was the truly frightening Laforgue Infinite Revolving Slash, a ranged soldier that could cause any close combat soldier to tremble in fear.
Especially since this person was a terrifying melee fighter!
This was a terrifying existence that could give any team a headache.
When he linked it with the title of All Mouthy King, he instantly attracted a lot of attention, suppressing all the S ranked squadrons. Naturally, they would not be able to avoid becoming the target of public criticism. From this moment onwards, Tianjing could no longer pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger. Their weaknesses would be targeted limitlessly, while the pressure from both inside and outside the stadium would come crashing down on them.
They would definitely be able to defeat an S rank. However, at the same time, they would definitely have to welcome an even stronger challenge. An established system would definitely not crumble so easily. With Stuart as the leader, the traditional powerhouses would definitely give a thorough analysis of the Tianjing squadron.
Despite the fact that Wang Zhong had given the same reply as Dicaprio during the interview, with neither confirming nor denying it, it didn't matter anymore, as 99% of the people believed that he was All Mouthy King.
Looking through the battles in the OP, the nimbleness of an assassin, the formidable close combat capabilities of a soldier, and the omnipotent cross wheels, who else could possess such an all-rounder other than All-Mouthy King?
A hopelessly lousy squadron had actually defeated the S ranked king squadron. Other than All Mouthy King, who else could it be?
Who else?!
Night fell. Despite the end of the CHF, the smoke of gunpowder still lingered in the air. Within the taverns, Skylink, and even the streets, one could hear the voices of discussion regarding the CHF. To the citizens of the Federation, this was a show of strength. Although they might not possess the strength to determine the standard of the CHF, they could at least watch the liveliness.
There were many debates, especially towards the Tianjing squadron!
In the CHF section of the Skylink, one could see all sorts of questions related to the Tianjing squadron!
"What kind of academy is Tianjing Academy?"
"How did the Tianjing squadron fight their way into the top 128?"
"Is Captain Wang Zhong really not a disciple of an aristocratic family?"
There were a lot of questions that had yet to be answered. Many of them were still in a state of confusion, with some of them not daring to believe that the unknown Tianjing Academy would actually be able to eliminate a powerful S rank seeded squadron! That was Bella Dean they were talking about! One of the top five families in the top ten!
"I have a feeling that even God has fallen. I don't know if you guys feel the same."
"That's not all. I feel like a kid in the countryside shooting a slingshot into the sky and shooting down a soaring eagle."
"This description is spot on. I also feel like a slingshot has shot down an airplane!"
"Previous poster, have you considered the feelings of Eagle and Airplane?!"
There were quite a few people who were extremely shocked, as all of them were born in the vicinity of Bella Dean City. Since young, they had lived under the shadow of Bella Dean. They were protected, and also exploited by them. Therefore, they had the most feelings and right to speak about how powerful Bella Dean was. In this CHF, Bella Dean's reputation wasn't very high, with some saying that they were a declining king. However, having lived in the shadows of Bella Dean since young, all of them were clear about one thing, or in other words, the truth!
When Bella Dean was underestimated, that would be when "it" was at its most dangerous and terrifying!
In this CHF, Bella Dean was the most terrifying, and the one that was looking forward to their counterattack!
Therefore, when the most terrifying Bella Dean had fallen, they were even more shocked. Unconsciously, they started to ask questions on the Skylink, replaying the recordings over and over again, not daring to believe the outcome that had already become reality.
A terrifying fellow and his omnipotent wheel.
On the other side, Tianjing Academy, no, the entire Tianjing City, was celebrating. At this moment, the few great families that controlled Tianjing City had banded together and made an announcement to the entire city. Tonight's celebration, bars, nightclubs and entertainment venues would be booked by the few great families, and the entire city would be celebrating for free!
In a brightly lit apartment building, Hymin's parents were currently entertaining their friends and family, appearing extremely happy.
The surrounding gazes were filled with envy and jealousy as they looked towards Hymin's parents. With a daughter like this, they truly couldn't ask for anything else. What's more, it was certain that Hymin's future was bright and limitless. It's been a long time since Tianjing City had such a glorious time. Their daughter was a hero, and their parents were heroes!
Just thinking about it made them feel excited. However, it was a pity that it wasn't their own child.
Under the current Federation system, families were bound together, and citizens were treated differently. Once one's children made an outstanding performance or contribution, the entire family would be promoted. Not only would they gain face, they would also gain benefits in terms of survival.
By the side, the Skylink was connected to the projection, and was currently playing the highlights of the Tianjing squadron in the CHF. Quite a few of them were of Hymin giving treatment to everyone. Naturally, the most important one was her super support role in the crucial moments of the squadron. Everyone said that without her special ability to protect and position them, Tianjing would ultimately fall short of success. Although Wang Zhong was strong, he wasn't a god.
Just at this moment, at 8: 15, someone shouted out, "It's here, it's here! The timing is just right! The TOP10 for the first day of the competition is out!"
The entire room immediately turned silent, with everyone's faces filled with nervousness. The Skylink projection turned jet-black, before a fiery glow broke through the darkness, before a row of glowing words appeared. "TOP10 — —"
Starting from the 10th place, the highlights of the spectacular fights caused people to cry out in surprise, causing the atmosphere in the room to turn slightly anxious. It was confirmed that the Tianjing squadron would definitely be included in the TOP10 highlights.
…
"Rank 5, Tianjing squadron, Grai, the most handsome trump card, my Grai!"
In an instant, the entire room was filled with applause, with some of the young girls shouting out in excitement. Although they were somewhat lacking in manners, at this moment, no one would blame them for not maintaining their image. In fact, everyone was the same.
On the screen, Grai really was extremely handsome!
Invincible in terms of looks, invincible in strength, and refined and courteous. Compared to the Tianjing captain, he had formed a completely different style, and was extremely pleasing to the eyes.
Grai's entry into the TOP10 was an obvious matter. He had countered one of the 5 great ranged soldiers, Grai, and was fully deserving of the title of trump card. What's more, he was genuinely handsome. He was handsome, had a handsome personality, and was even more handsome in terms of temperament. Even men had no choice but to admit that he was a true lady killer.
The TOP10 continued to be ranked. Rank 4 … the captain of the Asuna Ocean Goddess squadron. During the group battle, she had displayed her terrifying offensive water attribute special ability with her "Boundless Ocean" to defeat her powerful opponent. In fact, there were already no longer any so-called newbies in the round-of-32. Even the S squadron had to show some of their true abilities. The Federation's nearly 20 years of balanced strategy was currently displaying its effects. After all, other than the aristocratic families, there was still a vast population base. Therefore, there would definitely be a greater proportion of geniuses being born.
Rank 3 was the captain of the Barbarian squadron, DiMarco. Being a soldier in the group battle, he had unexpectedly withstood all of the attacks coming his way like an undying body, before finally establishing victory in a single move.
After all, humans were made of flesh and blood. Although possessing Soul Power gave them a different kind of strength, the so-called undying and unrivalled were just exaggerated descriptions. However, DiMarco seemed to truly possess a miraculous special ability. Although he wasn't as dark a horse as Tianjing, he had still displayed a powerful strength. The Barbarian squadron had once again become the squadron closest to the empire's style.
Rank 2 belonged to Oli of the Blazing Angel squadron. This squadron seemed to be the first powerful squadron to pay attention to Tianjing, to the point that they actually had the time to watch Tianjing's matches before the start of the group battle. This had also greatly stimulated their opponents. However, upon entering the group battle phase, it was time for the Blazing Angel. The powerful Mo's List female heavy soldier possessed an impenetrable defence and savage control-type attacks. Radiating brilliance in all directions, she appeared just like a goddess of war, causing her opponents to feel despair.
Finally, the 1st place was the one that everyone was looking forward to. At the same time, it was a miraculous man!
The screen flickered, and in the dark screen, the first place of the finale was displayed.
"1st place!"
"Tianjing squadron, the first appearance of a king!"
Humm … thunderous applause rang out.
The temperature in the room seemed to have risen by a few degrees. Everyone was cheering, while Hymin's parents were hugging each other. This was an extremely wonderful feeling. Although the one on the TOP wasn't their daughter, the two of them knew that the greater the fame of the Tianjing squadron, the brighter and more distant Hymin's future would be.
At this moment, the Skylink's comment section instantly exploded with activity, with over 10,000 people posting their posts within a second. What's more, the numbers were still increasing in an exaggerated fashion, causing the Skylink's servers to nearly collapse due to the explosive amount of data.
Without a doubt, everyone was paying the most attention to Wang Zhong, who was ranked 1st. The evaluation given by the officials was still extremely low profile. This squadron no longer needed any exaggeration to attract the attention of the masses. Furthermore, the evaluation given by the officials was also extremely objective.
However, All Mouthy King's supporters were considerably dissatisfied. It was as though they had already felt satisfied before the climax, as they felt that something was missing.
Such a magnificent match that could shock the world, yet they were giving such an evaluation?
"It's definitely All Mouthy King! The officials actually don't dare to confirm it!"
"Wang Zhong is All Mouthy King, the 5 great pieces of evidence …"
"This Wang Zhong is All Mouthy King! If you take a closer look at his style, it's exactly the same! His cross wheels have sold him out."
"All Mouthy King is in the Mo's List. Looks like it's Wang Zhong, not Dicaprio, and not my Lai."
Many people left comments, expressing that Wang Zhong was All Mouthy King!
"All Mouthy King, hurry up and come out to acknowledge your relative! There's a fake king here! "
"If it's my great brother King, he would definitely admit it during the interview. What did this Wang Zhong say? I'll guess that you're a fake king!"
However, such superficial comments were quickly drowned out. All Mouthy King's name had been forcefully accepted. Not only that, the frightening aspects of All Mouthy King had been dug out once again.
The 1st place in the written test that had been ignored by everyone had suddenly become lively.
He had basically walked the same path as the other experts. He was able to engage in close combat, ranged combat, and possessed a rich foundation in theory. Although it was a little belated, it was truly the best method to defeat Bella Dean.
It had to be said that the power of the melon-eating group was limitless. Once again, the Skylink had become the hottest topic in the Federation's Institute of Sciences, the discoverer of life runes!
In an instant, it had ignited the passion of countless people. How could the descendants of those top aristocratic families compare to him?
What's more, Wang Zhong really didn't count for much!
This was a true idol!
Tianjing Academy had already become the centre of revelry! Headmaster Greene had announced that there would be a day off tomorrow, so that everyone could party to their heart's content!
The initial activity room of the Prodigy Society had now become a sacred place. The training equipment and tools within had all been protected. Although everyone knew that their seniors didn't become strong because of these things, this was a spiritual symbol that had ignited hope in their hearts!
The students had started bonfires in the school grounds. At the beginning, the seniors were still present, with everyone still restraining themselves. However, as the teachers tactfully left the grounds, everyone started to play crazily. Videos were projected on the Skylink, with everyone replaying the Tianjing squadron's fights over and over again. No matter how many times they watched it, they wouldn't get sick of it. This was their senior, their idol, and the direction they would fight towards in the future! They had never felt so proud to be a student of Tianjing Academy!
However, the happiest person was none other than Greene. He had already gone crazy from happiness. If he wasn't crazy, why would he announce the suspension of classes for a day off? The wine that he had kept for decades, and had planned to be opened for his granddaughter's wedding, had been brought out to drink, cup after cup.
He had gone crazy because he was too surprised. Grai had originally been given the face of the donations, and had been treated as a backdoor to put on a show!
As for Wang Zhong, he was even more surprised. He had originally thought that Wang Zhong was a test maniac who only knew how to take tests, and a theorist who had no use in actual combat. In the end, he had suddenly exploded, and had even become the captain of the CHF. He had brought everyone together, allowing them to display a formidable strength. This was the top 32 of the CHF!
Furthermore, the aristocratic families had interfered, and the Federation had hidden their political motives. This was the most prestigious CHF in history!
What made Greene even more pleased was the fact that he had already received emails from a few Heroic Soul Academies in the nearby cities, hoping to allow them to bring their students to Tianjing Academy for a tour.
Towards this, Greene only had a single sentence to say: Ha ha ha ha ha!
In an ordinary residential building on the outskirts of Tianjing City, Barran's parents were excitedly watching the news on their Skylink. His mother twisted the corner of her sleeves. She was extremely excited to see the news of Tianjing's victory, but was also worried about her son's poor performance.
Never did they imagine that they would obtain such a victory. Both of them were so touched that they couldn't speak.
Just at this moment, Ding dong! The doorbell rang.
Opening the door, they were greeted by the sight of their neighbours. They had brought along gifts, wine, food, and even some handmade items. Upon entering, they were filled with happiness as they loudly congratulated Barran.
"Barran's really too promising. I knew that he wasn't an ordinary person when I first saw him. Don't forget about us when he soars to the top."
"Ha ha, Barran's not an ordinary person. You can tell from the moment he entered Tianjing Academy. Didn't I say that before? Now, he's really promising, and the entire Federation knows about it. Tsk tsk, a heavy soldier that has entered the TOP ranks will definitely have a boundless future! "
"That's right, a true future. He's different from ordinary graduates."
"When that time comes, you guys better not forget about us."
"I won't, I won't! That brat Barran's still a long way off. "
Hearing the congratulations and envy from their neighbours, Barran's parents beamed with joy. Although their mouths were filled with modesty, their hearts were filled with honey.
As they celebrated, everyone continued to eat their meals.
Just at this moment, the doorbell rang once again.
Upon opening the door, Barran's mother, Mia, was greeted by the sight of a middle-aged man dressed in a western suit and leather shoes. His face was filled with smiles, however, one could tell that his suit was the extremely expensive kind. This person was from the upper echelons of society.
"Hello, is this Barran Gestalt's house?"
With a smile, the middle-aged man replied. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Cahill, the butler of the Bernie Family."
Upon hearing those words, everyone in the living room sucked in a breath of air. The Bernie Family!
"Is it the Bernie Family of the Bi Fang Conglomerate?" someone asked in a low voice.
"Why did the Bernie Family send someone here?"
Barran gawked, before quickly replying, "Hello, may I know why you're looking for us?"
"It's like this. Lord Bernie has watched the match. After all, Barran is from our city, and his success is our pride. Lord Bernie would like to invite the two of you over to his house for a chat, and learn from the two of you on how to nurture an outstanding child."
Cahill was extremely courteous. His smiling face and deep voice caused people to uncontrollably have a good impression and trust towards him.
The neighbours all stood up, looking at Old Barran and his wife with admiration. Indeed, the saying that a father would rise in status due to his son was correct. Barran had a bright future ahead of him. Tsk tsk, this was the Bernie Family! For the head butler to personally pay a visit, this face was simply too heaven-defying. One must know that under normal circumstances, any one of his subordinates would suffice.
With a smile, Cahill continued, "This time, the main reason for my visit is to get in touch with you, and hope that you know the sincerity of the Bernie Family. Furthermore, I would like to know if you're interested in going to Stuart City to watch Barran's match? Coincidentally, the Bernie Family has two train tickets to Stuart City. First class, and all other expenses will be covered by the family. "
In an instant, the living room turned so quiet that not even the sound of breathing could be heard.
Bi Fang Conglomerate, within a magnificent gold-walled hall.
The head of the Bernie Family, Yang Burney, was carefully entertaining an esteemed guest. "The matter is already half done. In fact, they're just some commoners. As long as we put in a bit more effort, we'll be able to sign them into the conglomerate. When that happens, we can do whatever we want."
"Ha ha. Doing that would be too conspicuous. The higher-ups want us to do it more naturally. A good chess piece needs to be carefully polished."
With a smile, Yang Burney nodded his head. "Yes, I'll remember that."
Life was full of variations, and not everyone would play their cards according to the rules and routines. Factors outside of the arena would often be able to determine many things. The firmest fortress would usually be broken through from within.
Stuart City … At this moment, the Tianjing squadron had already started watching the TOP10 ranking video produced by the authoritative officials.
Everyone was extremely excited. Having advanced into the top 32, Wang Zhong and Grai had both appeared on the TOP10 rankings!
This great counterattack had completely established their confidence, especially with Wang Zhong's status as All Mouthy King, which had become the spiritual pillar of support for everyone. After a great victory, a round of ridicule and bombardment was inevitable. Although they had kept a low profile, Wang Zhong had revealed everything he knew within the squadron. His prestige as the captain was deeply rooted in everyone's hearts, with the only person who wasn't sensitive to it being Grai.
Emily was extremely happy. Although the next match might be even more difficult, who cares! What's more, she had to be happy now!
Although Ma Dong and Scarlet had long known about this, their hearts were still filled with immense strength and happiness. Admittedly, the final victory was due to Wang Zhong's tyrannical strength. However, everyone had contributed and worked hard. Furthermore, experiencing such a battle would be extremely beneficial to their future growth. It was an indescribable increase in strength.
At this moment, Ma Dong's Skylink suddenly rang. Qian Duoduo!
Ma Dong gawked for a moment, before deciding to answer the call. Upon opening it, he gawked once again. A large group of Tianjing Academy students were crowding around Qian Duoduo. Upon seeing Ma Dong answer the call, they shouted out in unison, "Senior, we've formed a group to watch your match!"
"What?"
"We're already in Stuart City!" Qian Duoduo was extremely excited. Just as he was about to set off, he received the grievous news that Tianjing had bumped into an S ranked squadron. Many people had almost wanted to return home halfway through the journey. However, they had managed to endure it. In the end, just as they were about to reach their destination, they saw the Tianjing squadron's promotion through the Skylink! Top 32! The entire train had gone crazy. Even after alighting from the train and arriving at the hotel, everyone was unable to stop their train, forcing him to call Ma Dong's Skylink.
This night was destined to be a wild celebration for Tianjing.
