The increase in her special ability had not only strengthened her attacks, but had also strengthened her reflexes and sixth sense. Having long sensed the incoming attacks, Scarlet raised her head furiously, causing 2 chilling glints to sweep past her cheeks. At the same time, the 2 spears in her hands shot backwards!
A chilling glint flashed across Zhao Wuying's eyes as she did a backflip.
Ding ding ding ding!
Blocking her attacks with her silver hooks, the terrifying firepower caused one of them to fly out of her hands. However, at the same time, a vicious kick had already rushed towards the sky!
Bang!
It struck the back of Scarlet's head.
The terrifying strength of the kick sent Scarlet flying 7 to 8 metres away, with blood spurting out in a rainbow-like arc in the air!
The frost covering the entire stage instantly melted away, while Scarlet's entire body turned limp as she slumped on the stage, unable to move a single inch.
Silence filled the entire stage, with even the commentators momentarily forgetting to say what they were going to say.
This was supposed to be her game, yet this woman had actually forced her to take action. Just as she was about to take action again, the referee's countdown rang out.
"Ten!"
Not only was one of the Lifesaving Hooks sent flying, even the remaining one … a thick layer of frost was now covering her hand that was holding the silver hook, freezing half of her arm! She felt her entire arm turning numb!
"Six!"
How could a mere Casted Soul Stage freeze attribute special ability be so strong???
"Three!"
The limp Scarlet lying on the ground had already become incomparably hateful in Zhao Wuying's eyes. A mere kick was utterly insufficient to vent the rage in her heart. Instead, she hoped that this lass would be able to stand up once again, so that she would have the chance to slash that hateful face of hers!
"One!" The referee crossed his hands and waved them.
2nd duel, Divine Dragon Academy victory!
Not only did it come from the supporters of Tianjing Academy, there were also those from the neutral audience. Admittedly, chasing after the strong was a type of mentality. However, Scarlet's performance was more than sufficient to deserve such applause. Frankly speaking, a member of a C rank academy was too ordinary within the entire CHF. However, she was able to display her splendour in the face of an S rank opponent, with her resolute and stubborn gaze subduing quite a few people.
In Tianjing Academy, before Wang Zhong had made a name for himself, Scarlet could be said to be the only hope and symbol of the academy. Even after arriving at the big stage that was Stuart City, even if she did not perform well, she was unable to shake the position that Scarlet held in the hearts of the students of Tianjing Academy. Admittedly, Wang Zhong was more formidable. However, who was the one who had discovered him? Who was the one who had helped All Mouthy King when he was still a noob? Who was the one who had given him a chance, and even given him the position of captain?
Was it just because Wang Zhong was outstanding? There were so many outstanding people in this world, but why hadn't anyone been so humble?
Scarlet was the crux that allowed Tianjing to walk this far. Without Scarlet, Wang Zhong would still be hiding in some unknown place, bemoaning his own fate, or finding some psychological comfort in the OP!
When Wang Zhong had shaken the heavens and earth, Scarlet had not forgotten her original intentions, and had still quietly given her all for this squadron. Frankly speaking, at the instant when Grai had fallen, 99% of the people present had already fallen into despair. Was Emily the one who should have stood up? Barran? Or perhaps someone else. However, Scarlet was the first to stand up. She did not necessarily want to obtain a victory, but wanted to tell everyone that Tianjing would not give up!
However, even after giving her all, she was still unable to obtain a single victory. The entire Tianjing Academy was silent as they looked at the blood-covered Scarlet with bloodshot eyes, unable to utter a single word. Old Greene had persevered to the end of the match. Although he could not bear to do so, he was truly proud of Scarlet!
This was the backbone that Tianjing had once possessed!
"Contestant Scarlet is still very hardworking. However, in the face of the powerful Divine Dragon squadron, she can only make herself appear even weaker. It's a pity that after Grai's loss, the Tianjing squadron has become slightly flustered. They've actually taken the initiative to send their ranged soldier up. Looks like there are times when Wang Zhong makes a miscalculation." There were some feelings that not everyone would be able to feel. At the very least, this was the case for Wind God. He could only feel the might of the Divine Dragon. As for the breakthrough and will, they were just the struggles of the weak.
"However, the mental state that Scarlet has displayed is exactly what we need in this CHF. Positivity, progress, struggle, and never give up! All miracles are born from such persistence, including the continuation of our human race in the Age of Darkness! " Ruo Zhi continued to speak. "Okay, let's return to the match. As of now, the Divine Dragon Academy has a 2: 0 lead, while Tianjing's situation has already reached a precarious state. Whether or not they're able to stop their decline and reverse the situation, the next duel will be the absolute key! If we allow the Divine Dragon Academy to take a 3: 0 lead and obtain the match point, be it the mental pressure or the imposing manner of their opponents, I'm afraid that all of them will deal a fatal blow to Tianjing! "
"Captain Wang Zhong! Captain Wang Zhong! "
"All Mouthy King!"
"Brother King, let's go!"
Countless fans in the viewing gallery and Skylink had already started to shout out spontaneously.
The shouts for All Mouthy King grew louder and louder. However, in the Tianjing preparatory area, Wang Zhong did not stand up.
Hymin was currently treating Scarlet's injuries. That kick to the back of her head was too vicious, as it was originally a rather fatal spot. Furthermore, she had not held back at all. If not for Scarlet's Ice Crystal special ability protecting her body, allowing her to instantly dissipate the majority of the damage, her entire head might have been smashed into smithereens!
"I, I can't do it …" Hymin shook her head, her voice sounding slightly choked. At this moment, she once again felt how useless she was. Originally, she had assumed that it would be enough to treat Scarlet's injuries. However, the range and standard of her treatment wasn't enough.
The medical team by the side of the stage stepped in once again.
As she was being carried onto the stretcher, Scarlet's hand moved. Stepping forward, Wang Zhong held onto it. He could feel the powerlessness and coldness of her hand. However, when he held onto it, it instantly regained some warmth.
"You've done very well. Relax, we'll definitely win. I guarantee it!" Wang Zhong whispered softly into her ear.
Not knowing if she had heard or felt his words, a sliver of a smile hung on Scarlet's face as she was carried off the stretcher.
However, no one else was able to smile.
This was only the second duel, and this was already the second person being carried to the emergency room by the medical team.
"This isn't a competition! This is murder!" Milami's eyes sparkled with flames of fury.
"Don't be childish." said Ma Dong in a deep voice. "This isn't a friendly match between academies. The competition stage is the battlefield! No one will show any mercy! "
When the usually subjective Ma Dong said such words, it meant that he was truly angry. At this moment, all the pressure was on Wang Zhong. However, the current problem was that it was useless to rely on Wang Zhong alone. Even if he won the next duel, he wouldn't be able to salvage the situation. Defeat Zhao Yilong? That would depend on whether or not Tianjing would give him the opportunity to do so. The Divine Dragon squadron could totally choose a substitute to send up, causing Tianjing to be eliminated in an extremely cowardly manner.
The current situation was that everyone needed to help Wang Zhong obtain victory in the next duel. If Wang Zhong were to go up first, it would mean that he had used up all of his trump cards, leaving only a small hand of cards for Tianjing to play with.
"Tianjing is currently in a predicament. Should Wang Zhong go up or not? If he does, it would mean that he has lost all hope. The Divine Dragon squadron can completely allow him to win this duel. If he doesn't go up, there's a high possibility that this great trump card will die in his hands." said Ruo Zhi.
"Let's go! If we don't go now, when will we go? If we don't stop our declining momentum, there won't be any hope left." Wind God continued the conversation.
Ruo Zhi shook his head faintly. If he went up, it would truly be equivalent to giving up. Even if he managed to put on a good performance, it would just be a elegy.
Said Wang Zhong as he cast his gaze towards Emily and Barran. Frankly speaking, the chances of them winning were extremely slim. However, only the two of them had the slightest chance of winning. Only then would he be able to fulfil his promise to Scarlet.
However, who would go up first?
"I'll go."
A clear and melodious female voice rang out, filled with calmness and strength.
It was Emily.
Just like what Ruo Zhi had said, if Tianjing wanted to win, there was no need to talk about Wang Zhong's defense. The 3rd duel was the most crucial duel! If they were to lose this duel, and allow the Divine Dragon Academy to obtain the match point, the predicament that Tianjing would face, as well as the mental pressure that they would face, would be countless times greater than what they were facing now!
This wasn't the time to be modest. Compared to the fluctuating Barran, Emily was the one who truly possessed the strength to put up a fight. She was also the one that Tianjing had a slightly higher chance of winning this duel. Leaving the immense pressure in their hearts for the next duel, they would focus all of their attention on the present duel and bet on Emily. This was the only choice Tianjing could make. What's more, Emily had yet to unleash her trump card to its fullest.
