At this moment, Scarlet's marksmanship was displayed to its fullest, with various kinds of attacks converging and rumbling out in a fluid and flowing manner!
However, the corner of Zhao Wuying's mouth curled up slightly.
Admittedly, Scarlet was aware of the explosive range of the Kalam pistol. However, how could Zhao Wuying not be clear about it? Her opponent's previous restraint in her attacks was unable to escape her eyes.
"I'm just playing along and giving you a little bit of hope, stupid lass."
Seemingly at the instant when Scarlet had formed her barrage, Zhao Wuying had already disappeared from her original position with a weird cackle!
She had seen assassins with high speed. However, other than those few people on the Mo's List, it was basically wishful thinking for anyone else to be able to surpass the speed of a bullet, even if it was just a burst of speed!
However, Zhao Wuying had done it.
Her sudden burst of speed was so fast that it was hard to believe. In an instant, her berserk figure had formed a 'Z' shape in the air. There was no need for her to block the incoming bullets, nor was there any need for her to move about nimbly! Her wide range of movement had caused all of the incoming attacks to miss!
A distance of 30 metres was as easy and casual as crossing a small ditch for Zhao Wuying. In her eyes, the barrage appeared to be a still image, with the trajectories of every single bullet appearing in a panoramic view!
Close combat! Scarlet's control over distance was basically useless in the face of this top class assassin. Previously, when her opponent had deliberately 'restrained' her movements, Scarlet felt as though she had been toyed with. However, at this very moment, an assassin had already closed the distance of 50 metres, yet was unable to put up any effective blockade. At this moment, all of the Tianjing supporters could feel was despair!
Whoosh!
A chilling glint flashed past. Before Scarlet could even react, a bloody gash had already appeared on her arm. The sharp barbed hooks on the hooks did not cause any cuts like those caused by ordinary sharp weapons. Instead, it was a lacerating wound!
"Hahahaha … little girl, your bullets are too slow." Zhao Wuying's voice continued to ring out in Scarlet's ears, while her sky-blue figure appeared just like a specter, circling around Scarlet's body at high speed.
Frankly speaking, a ranged soldier could already give up on any form of resistance after being closed in by an assassin.
However, Scarlet's fingers, which were holding onto the two guns, were still continuously pulling the trigger. Her footwork was rather stable, and she was constantly moving.
She had learned a lot from Wang Zhong. Not only had she been improving her spear techniques, she had also learned how to use her footwork in close combat. Frankly speaking, Scarlet's footwork and agility could already be considered pretty good for a ranged soldier. Admittedly, she couldn't be compared to those top experts. However, even if she was placed in an A rank squadron, she would absolutely have the qualifications to fight in the main lineup! Just like what Ruo Zhi had said, compared to a top-notch ranged soldier, the only thing she lacked was the eruption of Soul Power and the intensity of her attacks. In terms of technique, Scarlet was indeed above the standard.
If she was up against an assassin from an A rank squadron, this combination of footwork and her Gun Fu might allow her to display her splendor. However, it was a pity that she had bumped into Zhao Wuying!
That ghostly figure was at least two to three times faster than Scarlet! In the time it took for Scarlet to turn around, she could even run a lap around Scarlet's back!
Whoosh whoosh …
"His footwork is too slow!"
Yet another 2 chilling glints appeared on her back! Two bloody grooves appeared on her spotlessly white body, the scarlet wounds forming a sharp contrast with her snow-white skin. Zhao Wuying's expression was extremely rich, as she really liked such prey. Even for her, it was extremely difficult to find such prey. Clearly, this Scarlet was a fair, rich, and beautiful woman. Her temperament and appearance were precisely the characteristics of those in the Parliament. Elite, intelligent, and possessed the so-called ideals and beliefs, yearning for miracles and a new world. Being able to openly tear her apart like this was Zhao Wuying's hobby.
Scarlet's movements were still as nimble as ever. However, her face had clearly twitched a little, causing the hearts of the Tianjing squadron below the stage to tense up. The disparity in strength was truly too great.
Not long after, Scarlet's body was already riddled with injuries. Although none of them were fatal, they appeared extremely frightening. The information regarding Zhao Wuying was provided by Wang Zhong. This person had a sadistic fetish, and was able to satisfy herself through the pain and suffering of others. Now, this was her chance!
If she was a man, those injuries might cause him to appear rather unyielding. However, when those injuries appeared on a woman's body, the only thing people could feel was pity and heartache.
Scarlet's footwork had already started to stagger slightly. Her lack of explosive power and offensive strength were her most fatal weaknesses. In fact, there were countless times when she had sensed the existence of an opportunity, and had even unleashed a perfect attack. However, those weak frost bullets were not even enough to repel her opponent's silver hooks.
Her Soul Power did not possess any suppressive effects. Most importantly, she did not possess a special ability that could lock in victory. Her weak frost effects could only slow down her opponent's speed. This was already the greatest effect she had in this group battle. In fact, even if Zhao Wuying had given her the opportunity, she did not have any moves to secure victory.
The number of injuries on Scarlet's body grew, with dark red blood splattering all over the stage. Nevertheless, she still continued to persevere.
Although she might not have any chance of victory, she still needed to fight. Every single member of Tianjing was fighting with their lives on the line. Be it Wang Zhong, Grai, Barran or Hymin, every single one of them had contributed their strength. Being the vice-captain, she had to shoulder the responsibility, and not be a coward!
She had never neglected anything during her training, nor had she stopped thinking about it. In fact, the resources she possessed were much better than the others. However, she did not manage to make any significant breakthroughs in her strength. She was the one who had requested to participate in this duel. At this moment, there was no longer any strategy that could be used against Tianjing, other than to obtain a victory and snatch an opportunity for Wang Zhong to enter the group battle phase.
This was something that she, the vice-captain, had never been able to do.
The injuries on her body had already reached an unbearable stage for a woman like her. However, Scarlet still continued to persevere. Her squadron members had not given up, and she would not give up either.
Her opponent was indeed strong. However, it wasn't that she didn't have any flaws. Her arrogance and blindness were all problems. However, to Scarlet, breaking her opponent's defences was the most crucial factor!
Accumulation? That was more than enough! The thirst for a breakthrough? There was no one more thirst than Scarlet! The pressure of life and death? Could it be that this wasn't enough?
Clenching her teeth, Scarlet continued to put up a final struggle with the pistols in her hands.
Although there were still buzzing discussions going on in the arena, compared to the tens of thousands of people present, it was already considered to be exceedingly quiet. Clearly, Zhao Wuying was toying with her opponent. At this moment, Scarlet could already admit defeat, as there was no meaning in her perseverance.
Finally, there were people on the Skylink, including in the arena, who could no longer continue watching.
"Stop fighting! Just give up! "
"Scarlet, you've already done well enough! Your spirit is commendable! "
"This girl from the Divine Dragon Academy is a complete pervert! There's no need to persevere! You're just a girl! "
Pervert?
A faint smile appeared on Zhao Zimo's face. He really liked to observe human nature from behind, the reactions of the people around him, as well as the reactions on the Skylink. The reason why he had sent Zhao Wuying up for this duel wasn't because he wanted to make her happy. Instead, with Zhao Wuying's character, she would definitely not be able to control herself from toying with a prey like Scarlet. This would definitely infuriate some people.
Victory was inevitable. However, Zhao Zimo also wanted to do some research on Wang Zhong. He wanted to know exactly how a person like Wang Zhong was constructed, and how he would react in the face of defeat, despair and anger.
What kind of changes would occur in Wang Zhong's heart after seeing Scarlet's miserable state?
Zhao Zimo was currently observing the duel. He liked the feeling of being a spectator. Clearly, Wang Zhong's eyes were already filled with anger and unwillingness, though he was doing his utmost to control it. Very good, as it would be meaningless if he collapsed so easily. A talented grassroots had relied on various kinds of hard work and opportunities to reach this stage, believing that he could reach the heavens with a single step. However, reality had forced him to understand everything. What kind of effect would such a change have on a person like Wang Zhong?
To Zhao Zimo, this was an extremely good experimental subject. He would be able to gain a lot of experience from this, allowing him to have more experience in dealing with "such people" in the future.
As for the other Tianjing squadron members, they were already feeling dispirited. The disparity between them and reality had allowed them to clearly understand themselves. Within their despair, there was also fear. At this moment, a sliver of a sneer appeared at the corner of Zhao Zimo's mouth.
Not only did the Divine Dragon Academy want to win today, they wanted to win in all aspects! Being the spiritual leader of their squadron, Zhao Yilong would definitely step on All Mouthy King's halo and ascend to the apex! Regardless of whether Tianjing accepted or made any other arrangements for this duel, Zhao Zimo would definitely allow it to happen. Since he had already obtained this baby experience, it would be too much of a pity if he did not eat it up.
Admittedly, he had absolute confidence in Zhao Yilong. However, he was, after all, All Mouthy King, who had defeated Divian, who was equally famous as Zhao Yilong in the OP. If he did not do anything, and only bet on his trust in Zhao Yilong, that would not be Zhao Zimo's style.
He wanted to infuriate Wang Zhong, and cause the invincible All Mouthy King to lose his cool. He wanted him to be filled with rage when he faced off against Zhao Yilong!
He wasn't hoping for Wang Zhong to perform abnormally under the influence of his rage, as that would be underestimating his opponent too much. Instead, a person filled with rage would generally choose to fight in a rather ferocious manner. Although All Mouthy King might become stronger due to his rage, one mustn't forget that Zhao Yilong was the most ferocious representative of the Federation. What he was least afraid of was a head-on confrontation!
If Wang Zhong gave up on his multi-faceted specialties and chose to fight head-on against Zhao Yilong, the Divine Dragon Academy's victory would already be in the bag.
If he wanted to ignite Wang Zhong's rage, the best starting point would be this Tianjing vice-captain, who had an ambiguous relationship with him!
Zhao Zimo's mood was exceedingly carefree. Once again, he had killed many birds with one stone. He loved this feeling.
A truly intelligent person would always have a goal in every step he took. Devising a strategy, they would be able to determine victory from a thousand miles away.
This seemingly one-sided fight was no less significant than Zhao Tianlong's victory over Grai in his heart. Just like how he had used pollen to deal with Grai, there was no need for others to understand his actions. All he needed to do was to satisfy himself. This was also the style of the Zhao Family, and also the reason why they were able to grow stronger.
"Look, you've lost too much blood. Are you feeling dizzy? Your shooting speed has slowed down, and your accuracy isn't as good as before. Looks like it's time to serve the main course." Zhao Wuying's chuckles sounded incomparably horrifying. "Cut off that pretty face of yours. Do you think your All Mouthy King will still like you?"
Scarlet was completely relying on her last breath and willpower to hold on, using her ice attribute special ability to seal her wounds as much as possible. At this moment, her body had already turned numb. She had truly given her all, and wasn't afraid of death. All she wanted to do was to win this fight. However, her opponent was too strong. With her calm and analytical mind, she had absolutely no chance against the absolute disparity in strength.
BANG …
Scarlet's body had taken a kick from Zhao Wuying's heart, causing her body to feel as though it didn't belong to her anymore. It's time to end this. Floating in the air, Scarlet could only see Wang Zhong below the stage. She didn't know why, but at this moment, she really felt that perhaps she was too weak. Thinking back, she had never been a very strong person. She had only continuously followed his footsteps, wanting to see how far he could go …
At this moment, Scarlet saw Wang Zhong's gaze, which was filled with unwillingness, worry, fury, and … trust!
In an instant, Scarlet felt a surge of warmth gushing out from her ice-cold body, spreading to her four limbs, before converging together and rushing straight into her Soul Sea. The necklace Wang Zhong had given her had unknowingly disappeared. Pure elemental Soul Power gushed forth, causing Scarlet to feel as though a storm was surging out from the icy plains!
Whoosh …
Zhao Wuying's lethal twin hooks had already arrived. Furthermore, their target was Scarlet's face. This time, it was too late for Scarlet to admit defeat!
A gorgeous ice crystal instantly condensed, forming a transparent wall between Zhao Wuying and Scarlet!
BANG … the silver hooks smashed against the ice wall, instantly causing cracks to appear all over it, before shattering into pieces in a mere second!
However, Scarlet, who was supposed to be behind the ice wall, had already retreated a few metres back.
Her eyes blazed with a raging fighting intent, while the two pistols sparkling with ice crystals were aimed straight at Zhao Wuying.
It was the same gun, the same person. However, there was a different aura and gaze, giving Zhao Wuying a completely different feeling!
Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!
Two terrifying white tongues of flame shot out from the muzzles of the pistols, instantly interweaving together to form an astonishing and gigantic net of bullets!
Every single bullet sparkled with a pure icy brilliance, and was on a completely different level compared to the previous attacks. In the past, Scarlet's attacks were only infused with a little bit of her Soul Power special ability. However, at this moment, the conversion rate of her special ability had exceeded 50%. If she was hit by such a bullet, she would definitely experience a significant delay.
If there was a slow-motion replay, one would be able to see that every single bullet that shot out from the muzzle was incomparably pure and transparent! They appeared just like pieces of ice crystals! Furthermore, the shape of the bullets were no longer pure and smooth, with the pursuit of flowing lines. Instead, they were filled with patterns that appeared just like frost! As the bullets pierced through the air, they pulled out arcs of ice crystals, appearing so beautiful that it could cause people to feel suffocated!
Hearing this, Zhao Wuying was overjoyed. In the past, she had only heard of such a thing happening. Never did she expect that such a breakthrough would actually happen! Interesting!
Scarlet's marksmanship was originally above average, with her calculation of bullet trajectories as well as her ability to organise her bullets. It was only due to her weak and powerless Soul Power foundation that caused her excellence to be overshadowed. However, once she had resolved the issues of her eruption and consumption of Soul Power, people were able to see the rise of a shooter with the potential of an S rank!
A frown appeared on Zhao Zimo's face, while the Divine Dragon Academy fans turned mute. In fact, even the Tianjing supporters, as well as Wang Zhong and the others, were all dumbfounded.
The entire stadium was deathly silent, with only the crazed sounds of bullets intertwining and exploding!
Without even coming into contact with the ice crystal bullets, Zhao Wuying could already feel an earth-shattering threat enveloping her!
The range of the bullet trajectories had increased, and the speed of the bullets had increased!
BANG …
Unable to evade, Zhao Wuying started to defend. Although the bullets were blocked, the chilling air had unexpectedly started to invade her weapon. Dammit!
Zhao Wuying could feel the crisis looming over her. Her opponent's special ability was no longer the type that she could casually dispel. Both of them were in the Casted Soul Stage. Once one's understanding of special abilities reached the rudiments, no one could completely ignore the other.
Zhao Wuying could no longer act pretentiously like she did at the start.
Countless Tianjing Academy students, who were already on the verge of tears, clenched their fists tightly as they prepared to teach this damnable fellow a fierce lesson!
However, just at this moment, an earthen yellow colour suddenly appeared on Zhao Wuying's face.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
Countless bullets instantly struck empty air, as Zhao Wuying's body appeared to have melted, instantly dissolving into the ground.
"Burrowing?!" Wang Zhong's relaxed expression changed slightly, as he could sense Zhao Wuying's aura rapidly burrowing through the ground with his Heart's Eye.
In an instant, her aura had already covered the short distance of a few metres.
2 icy-cold hooks suddenly pierced right before Scarlet's eyes. Chilling glints intertwined, while ear-piercing metallic sounds rang out, as the 2 hooks shot towards her throat!
