"There's no need to pay too much attention to Tianjing. Their flaws are obvious. That Wang Zhong is very flashy, but he's unable to flip the heavens. Without any support behind him, he won't be able to go far." Said Zhao Yilong, clearly filled with disdain. The 10 Great Families were getting old. Bella Dean was no longer fit to be one of the top 5 families. Some rankings needed to be changed.
"You guys seem to have underestimated the influence All Mouthy King has in the hearts of ordinary people." Said Vladimir in an indifferent tone. "Perhaps he was just a small figure in the beginning. However, he has already become a phenomenon."
Everyone looked towards Divian and Laura. Both of them had crossed hands with All Mouthy King before, and thus had the right to speak. Truthfully speaking, Laura wasn't too willing to participate in such an event. However, being a member of the Potter Family, she couldn't ignore it. After witnessing that absolutely stunning and terrifying fight, Laura had already confirmed that Wang Zhong was All Mouthy King.
A girl's intuition was very useful. However, she was still extremely shocked when she confirmed it. Wang Zhong was actually All Mouthy King!
Clearly, everyone was more concerned about Divian's words. After all, Laura's strength was still a notch lower than Wang Zhong's.
Divian shrugged her shoulders. "If it was in the past, this person wouldn't be my match. However, it's hard to say now. His increase in strength is obvious, though it isn't as exaggerated as the rumours say. There are many things that we are able to do. However, the status of a family has allowed everything to happen naturally. However, it's exceedingly miraculous for an ordinary person. We can't underestimate him, but there's also no need to exaggerate it. The decline of Bella Dean's strength is obvious for all to see."
Everyone nodded their heads. After debating for a while, they were unable to come to a consensus. Gui Hao's opinion did not gain the approval of others. After all, the CHF had just started, and it was hard to say what would happen in the future. Therefore, no one was willing to be the subject of gossip.
After the short meeting ended, Mo Wen and the rest left. Gui Hao and Vladimir chatted with Carolyn for a while in an extremely gentlemanly manner. Finally, only Divian remained.
Divian sized Carolyn up and said, "There are times when I admire your eyesight."
Naturally, Carolyn knew what she was talking about. In fact, she had never imagined that Wang Zhong would actually be All Mouthy King. Most importantly, due to fate, they had no choice but to discuss about such a person.
However, there was still a qualitative difference between the OP and the CHF. Although it appeared to be limitless, it was, in reality, a castle in the air. As long as one lost a single match, they would immediately return to their original state. The higher they climbed, the harder they would fall.
Carolyn had seen too many of such people. Due to Wang Zhong's perseverance and hard work, these shining points appeared even more lowly in the eyes of aristocratic families. This was the pitiful aspect of the Phoenix girl and Phoenix guy.
Carolyn suddenly felt that her decision was correct.
The popularity of the first day made people even more excited for the second day. Facing the counterattack of two grassroots teams, as well as the strong performances of some super A ranked teams, how would the traditional powerhouses respond?
The answer was yes!
The battle between the Martial Ghost Divine Emperor squadron and the A ranked Waltz squadron was the prelude to the second day of the battle. Being the first tier of S ranked squadrons, the Martial Ghost Divine Emperor squadron, which had a more flamboyant style, what sort of reaction would they have?
Bella Dean's elimination from the CHF had more or less affected the other S ranked squadrons, especially those in the Skylink, as discordant voices rang out and ridiculed. "What S rank? That's all there is to it. I, the Big Mouth King, am still the most awesome. I can even kill gods if I stand in my way. What's an S class to me? He's going to blow them away with a single breath! "
There were also rational people analysing the situation, though none of them were very friendly. "In fact, there's no need to doubt the strength of an S rank squadron. The main reason is that All Mouthy King is too strong. That cross wheels are completely unbreakable. Wang Zhong is able to support an S ranked squadron by himself. What's more, there's still Grai, an anomaly that we can't see through."
The various discussions had clearly stimulated the various S ranked squadrons, with many people feeling extremely excited. They had rushed over early in the morning to watch the match, all for this! At this moment, they felt that they hadn't come in vain! From the looks of the Martial Ghost Divine Emperor squadron, they were definitely going to do something big. However, everyone was extremely curious about how an S ranked squadron would prove themselves.
On the other side, the members of the Waltz squadron, who had just stepped onto the stage, had stern expressions on their faces. Looking at the Martial Ghost Divine Emperor squadron brimming with killing intent, everyone was cursing and swearing in their hearts. Fuck! Based on what? They're not All Mouthy King! What's the point of venting his anger on them?
During the time for both sides to prepare, Gui Hao suddenly stood up. With a leap, he landed on the stage, appearing indescribably cool and handsome. Instantly, a group of little fangirls could not help but shriek out. Gui Hao! Gui Hao! Gui Hao!
Although the Skylink might be All Mouthy King's territory, the arena was undoubtedly the domain of the S ranked squadrons. There was no need to doubt Gui Hao's popularity.
Nevertheless, everyone was still somewhat stunned by the scene before them. It wasn't time for Gui Hao to step onto the stage. Wasn't Gui Hao being a little too hasty?
With a faint smile, Gui Hao swept his gaze across the entire arena. In an instant, all the voices turned silent, as everyone understood that Gui Hao had something to say.
Everyone in the Waltz squadron stared tightly at Gui Hao, causing the atmosphere to turn tense.
Gui Hao gave a cool smile and said, "A match without any suspense is too boring. I'll give you guys a choice. You guys can come at me together, and your opponent will be any one of the 5 of us. As long as you guys win, victory will belong to you!"
Gui Hao's smile was filled with provocation, yet it also appeared to be the enticement of the devil. Although the Waltz squadron was very strong, they were filled with despair when faced against Martial Ghost Divine Emperor. Such an opportunity had clearly ignited their desires!
The desire for victory!
Would they take the bait?
Humm …
The entire arena instantly exploded. What? Direct group battle? What's more, only one person? They're even allowing their opponents to pick any of their opponents!
Captain Walker's face instantly turned the colour of a pig's liver, as an intense feeling of humiliation gushed out. His pride as a soldier made him want to reject such an obviously "unfair" method of group battle.
However, just as he opened his mouth, he stopped himself …
It wasn't easy for their squadron to reach this stage. Along the way, they had experienced so many difficulties, while their squadron had slowly fused together. Therefore, no one wanted to return home just like that. This was only the round of 64!
They wanted to win!
They wanted to win!!!
Furthermore, if they were to win, they would obtain glory, while also making the arrogant Gui Hao pay the price!
In fact, this thought surpassed everything else!
We're all A rank experts, and none of us are noobs. 5 vs 1!
We'll definitely win! Walker's heart was roaring.
Any Heroic Soul Academy student would know that the strength of a group was greater than that of an individual. At the same time, arrogance was the source of failure!
Waltz agreed to Gui Hao's suggestion, and the 5 mainstay soldiers walked up the stage. In the end, Walker had chosen Gui Hao as their opponent!
Although they wanted to win, they still needed some face. Since it was Gui Hao's suggestion, they would use him as an example!
Regardless of how strong Gui Hao was, he was still in the Casted Soul Stage. Since he wanted to slap their faces and use them to show his might, Walker and Walker had also decided to reverse the situation. After the results of the draw were out, they had already designed a killing formation specifically to deal with Gui Hao. They wanted to deal with Gui Hao in the event that they were able to enter the group battle phase and obtain some honour and glory by getting rid of Gui Hao. However, they never imagined that the heavens would really give them such an opportunity!
The commentators of the Skylink live broadcast were also screaming their lungs out to stir up the atmosphere, as they had all been suppressed by Gui Hao. He was truly too arrogant, too arrogant, and had completely disregarded his opponent.
Without a doubt, such an overbearing attitude was extremely popular on the Skylink. Such arrogance and conceit had also suppressed All Mouthy King, as All Mouthy King clearly wasn't that overbearing.
"The Waltz squadron has still left a little bit of face by choosing Gui Hao as their opponent. However, I believe that they've also thought about this carefully, and not purely for the sake of face."
"That's right. It's already a 5 vs 1, so there's no need to care about face. They definitely had a strategy to deal with Gui Hao, and have just used it to turn the tables on him. In any case, I'm very worried for Gui Hao. If he's really turned around by the Waltz squadron, I don't even know how I'm going to commentate on this."
"However, such a match is more interesting! Alright, you can see that the referee has already entered the stage. The match is about to start. "
The referee remained cold and detached. At the instant when Gui Hao had raised his suggestion, he had already communicated with the higher-ups, and received a definite answer. Under the circumstances where it didn't violate any of the rigid rules, the organizing committee would welcome anyone to step up to the challenge!
The CHF was a test, as well as a form of entertainment for the entire nation. Furthermore, if anyone wanted to court death, the organizing committee would clearly not stop them.
Following the referee's order, the main competition began!
Bang!
The Waltz squadron instantly spread out, taking their positions as they proceeded to surround Gui Hao.
However, Gui Hao did not move. He stood quietly in the middle of the stage with an unruly smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. It was as if he was mocking his opponent, but also as if he was hiding a deep story. The fangirls below the stage screamed again!
"Gui Hao, Gui Hao! Invincible Gui Hao!"
Gui Hao tilted his head slightly. That action of his was akin to that of a prince. His eyes sparkled as he looked towards the area where the screams were the loudest. Lowering his head, he gave his thanks to his little fangirls!
"Wa ah ah ah ah ah ah!"
The crowd was dominated by the girls' voices.
The majority of the male compatriots, especially the single men, felt as if they had been ravaged by ten thousand bullets, or trampled by ten thousand dogs.
Chris and Byron stared at Gui Hao. At a time like this, he still had the time to interact with the girls cheering for him? His footsteps were light as he widened the distance between them. The heavy sniper rifle in his hand flashed with the luster of runes.
The other four were also infuriated by Gui Hao's actions. However, it was precisely at this moment that they became even more calm. The four of them took turns to advance forward. They wanted to create an opportunity for their captain's sniper!
Now's the time!
Rushing to their predetermined positions, the four surrounded Gui Hao from all directions. Their 4 longswords coordinated with each other, stabbing towards Gui Hao from top, middle, bottom and back!
Against experts, sword formations were undoubtedly an extremely good choice. Many students had researched on combined attacks. Naturally, their original targets were extremely powerful mutated beasts or dimensional life forms.
Only at this moment did Gui Hao's gaze turn back from the stage. With a faint smile, he said, "Now, let the show begin."
"My body is like the wind, breaking through the waves."
With a soft cry, Gui Hao's figure appeared like an illusion as he gently crisscrossed past them. The 4 longswords that had sealed off all of his paths of retreat appeared to have fallen into a mirage, as they landed on thin air.
"Riding the wind and gazing into the sea, blade moves with the shadows."
Without waiting for any response, Gui Hao suddenly cut forward, while the rhombus blade that had been in its scabbard was gently pulled out.
Clang!
What should have been a soft sound of a blade being unsheathed rang out, yet it was clearly heard in the hearts of everyone present. The entire world appeared to have lost its colour, with only the snow-white brilliance of the longsword remaining.
In Gui Hao's hand, the blade appeared like an illusion. Holding it horizontally before his chest, he proceeded to cut forward. Appearing like a drop of water falling onto a lake, it gently knocked against the longsword of a Waltz soldier. Nevertheless, the power behind the blade instantly engulfed him like a tsunami, causing him to lose all defence. Opening his eyes wide, he saw that Gui Hao was right in front of him. As long as he thrust his sword forward, he would be able to stab right through. However, he had already lost control of his body, and could only watch helplessly as Gui Hao spun around like a gust of wind, before a blade flash chopped down on his chest!
Wah! Screams rang out from the audience. However, they quickly reacted. Gui Hao had used the back of his blade. Nevertheless, the soldier who had been struck instantly had his ribs shattered, causing him to spit out blood as he collapsed to the ground.
"Again and again."
Like an illusion, Gui Hao appeared before another soldier. With a horizontal sweep of his blade, dripping water and breaking stone, he smashed through his defence, before spinning his blade around and chopping down towards his chest!
"Again and again."
The third person fell to the ground like a crop of wheat that had been cut down!
Only the last soldier remained. His face was pale white, his eyes filled with unfathomable shock and disbelief, as his lips trembled. "Why!"
His sword had clearly pierced into Gui Hao's body multiple times. He had clearly grasped the opportunity created by his teammate. However, all he had pierced was air! Piercing air? Absolutely impossible! He had confidence in his own sword arts. Having started training at the age of 10, he had been training with the sword for exactly 10 years. With 10 years of sword arts, even if it was a sesame seed, he would still be able to pierce it with his eyes closed.
"Engulf!"
Gui Hao did not reply, and only gave a faint smile. His face still had that sliver of unruly expression, as though he was mocking and ridiculing Gui Hao. With 3 consecutive strikes towards his chest, the long blade in his hand had already reached its saturation point.
Facing the disbelieving soldier, Gui Hao gave a light stab with his long blade. It didn't seem like a killing move, but more like he was giving pointers to the wind and clouds.
The warrior roared in rage as he tried to retaliate in a frenzy. However, he had only taken two steps when an invisible force smashed into his body. Amidst the whistling sound of the wind, he was blown out of the arena as if he had been hit by a bomb.
In the short span of a few breaths, 4 people had disappeared! Outside of the audience, everyone was dumbfounded by what they saw. What kind of blade art was that? What kind of footwork was that?
However, the fight still wasn't over!
"Gui Hao!"
The final person was also Waltz's greatest killing move, their captain, Chris Byron!
Being a ranged soldier, and being the captain, Chris Byron's heavy sniper ability could be ranked within the top of the younger generation of the Federation. Although his overall strength couldn't compare to the 5 great ranged soldiers, he was recognised to have the qualifications to be ranked within the top 5 in terms of heavy sniper.
"As long as I'm given enough time, there's nothing my heavy sniper can't break. Even if he's a god, I'll kill him for everyone to see. Furthermore, Gui Hao is just a human. At best, he's just a ghost!"
Csu Byron's lips were trembling as he stared blankly at his 4 comrades being chopped down one by one by Gui Hao. However, he did not open fire from start to finish. That was because he only had a single shot. As time passed, his aura had finally locked onto Gui Hao!
This shot was his ultimate shot. Relying on the heavy sniper rune, he had compressed all of his Soul Power into this shot.
Now! Chris Byron thought in his heart.
Bang!
This was a tracking sniper. Even a Heroic Soul Stage expert would have to bear a grudge against this shot. Furthermore, with his aura locked onto Gui Hao, regardless of how he dodged, this shot would …
"Wind rises, the despair of the soul."
The long blade in Gui Hao's hand slashed upwards.
Bang! Streaks of wind scars appeared in front of him like a wall of wind. As the wind surged, that sliver of aura was completely cut off.
