This CHF would test the strength of an entire squadron. The depth of the bench would be the fatal weakness of the Tianjing squadron. After defeating the Divine Dragon squadron, they were no longer a dark horse. Their opponents would be able to arrange more reasonable strategies. Everyone wanted to know if the omnipotent All Mouthy King could continue his miraculous feats, especially when his only knight, Grai, was suffering from hay fever.
It had to be mentioned here that Zhao Zimo was actually a fool. A person who was used to using underhanded methods would not be able to see the light of day. In fact, it would be fine to just cover his body with perfume. Once his weakness was exposed, everyone would be able to counter it. In other words, Zhao Zimo had made a wedding dress for the other squadrons.
This was also the main reason why the Tianjing squadron was ranked 8th.
No.9 Copperfield … a squadron with Laura as its core. With the addition of one of the 5 great ranged soldiers, Karkel, they had completely made up for their previous weaknesses. The combat strategies and strategies that they could choose had been enriched. Laura's improvement, as well as that of the other squadron members, were obvious. Coupled with the powerful Karkel, Copperfield was able to enter the top 16.
No.10 Blazing squadron … the powerful dark magician Mario had given everyone endless surprises. If not for Giant God Peak and Tianjing's overly astonishing performances, they would have created a huge wave. In reality, Mario's combat style had already attracted the attention of the Federation's Institute of Sciences.
The duo of him and Sharmie was extremely astonishing. This was a frightening squadron that would be able to create endless miracles as long as they were dragged into the group battle phase.
No.11 Blazing Angels squadron. Under the leadership of Papada and Oli, they were a squadron with an iron will. Their faith was the driving force behind their advancement. However, the prerequisite was that they were able to enter the group battle phase.
No.12 Eye of the Hurricane squadron … the sudden emergence of a new force. At first, they were thought to be a weak version of Soul Beast Masters, but in reality, they were the newest Beast Tamers. They possessed the ability to tame mutated beasts, as well as a mysterious runic array that allowed them to store a large amount of mutated beasts. This caused the Eye of the Hurricane squadron to become the focus of countless people. However, their captain, Kelleres, had kept an extremely low profile, and had rejected all interviews. Nevertheless, his peak 5th rank mutated mantis was more than enough to cause his opponents to tremble in fear. In the round-of-16, the Eye of the Hurricane squadron had opened Pandora's box. The current problem was whether their mutated beasts would be able to enter the stage in the round-of-16, and whether there would be any other restrictions.
The No.13 Asuna Ocean Goddess Battle Team was a team of Water Special Abilities led by Misa Asuna. Every member of the team possessed powerful Water Special Abilities and self-healing abilities. They were known as the Healer Legion, and if one was unable to defeat them in a short period of time, they would fall into a hell of attrition.
The No.14 Mammoth squadron … all of its members possessed the special abilities of the giant bloodline. During combat, they were able to stimulate their giant bloodline through their special abilities, instantly transforming into terrifying giants that were over 4 metres tall. Regardless of whether it was in terms of offense or defence, their captain, Panta, possessed the bloodline of the Golden Giant. Although he was unable to match up to Divian, he was still a rare and valuable existence.
No.15 Highland Knights Battle Team … a tyrannical battle team that carried the spirit of chivalry. Their leader, Murphy, possessed an outstanding area-of-effect gravitational ability, which allowed the team to reach this stage.
The No.16 Barbarian Battle Team … the squadron that was closest to the empire's style. Their combat style was savage and brutal, and their individual strength was extremely strong. However, their flaw was that their group combat tactics were very simple. Their captain, Hoffenheim, was known as the Thousand Man Killer, and possessed the strength of a Mo's List ranker.
Very quickly, the rankings of the top 16 squadrons were announced by the officials. The first 4 squadrons clearly belonged to the first tier of squadrons, with basically no flaws at all. Their benches were extremely deep, and they were squadrons that had the possibility of becoming champions. The next 4 squadrons had a definite chance of entering the top 4, though that would depend on their luck. Nevertheless, being able to enter the top 8 was guaranteed. As for the other 8 squadrons, if they wanted to take another step forward, or even create a miracle to enter the top 4, it would all depend on their trump cards and luck.
Drawing lots was extremely important. There were some that were happy, while others were sad. The Tianjing squadron was so excited that they were slightly dizzy. They had actually been ranked 8th by the officials!
Qian Duoduo had also gone crazy. Not caring about his capital, he brought the Tianjing Academy students that had come to watch the match to play and celebrate. He was very clear that the investment he made now would be repaid a hundredfold in the future. At this moment, he was going around telling everyone that his eyesight back then was extremely accurate, and that he was able to see through Wang Zhong's great strength with a single look.
On the Skylink, the Giant God Peak squadron, ranked 7th, had received an unprecedented amount of doubt. Did they really have the qualifications to be ranked above the Tianjing squadron? From the looks of their current combat results, the Tianjing squadron had defeated 2 S ranked squadrons in a row. Therefore, they shouldn't be ranked 8th.
Naturally, such discussions weren't too intense. In fact, everyone was extremely clear that the official rankings were just a matter of intent, and had a certain degree of accuracy. However, when it came to actual combat, many things that were accurate would become blurry. In other words, from the very beginning, the various great squadrons had displayed a facade that would confuse the audience. Only when they encountered a truly formidable opponent that could threaten them would they display their true strength.
"Tianjing being ranked 8th is already quite a bit of overestimation. Furthermore, it's due to them defeating the Divine Dragon squadron. Logically speaking, the 8th place should belong to the Divine Dragon squadron."
"Haha. I'm thinking, could the top 8 be the same as the top 8 of the official rankings?"
"You're thinking too much. This still has to depend on the drawing of lots. What's more, the Blazing squadron is truly terrifying. With Mario's great awakening and the mysteries of his super special ability, Hellish Flames, I feel that Divian might not be their match even with her Dragon Crystal Armour."
"Copperfield has yet to display their strength. Defeating the Hell City squadron still isn't enough to let you guys see through the fog. Copperfield is the squadron that has been underestimated the most. I feel that they should be ranked 7th."
After various discussions, the main event finally came to the drawing of lots.
After the announcement of the rankings, the organizing committee organized a grand drawing of lots that night.
The chairperson of the organizing committee, Long Mei 'er, attended the ceremony, passionately announcing the names of the top 16 squadrons, encouraging them to continue their hard work and create even greater achievements. Following that, she announced that before the quarterfinals, the 16 squadrons would have 5 days to recuperate. If there was a need, they could apply for medical treatment from the organizing committee. The organizing committee had plenty of experienced water attribute special ability users who specialised in recovery and recovery, ensuring that all squadrons would be able to welcome the intense fights in their peak condition.
"It doesn't matter if you're not injured. A water attribute special ability is extremely beneficial to one's mental state." Long Mei 'er announced in a joking manner, causing the entire stadium to erupt into laughter.
In the next moment, under Long Mei 'er's announcement, the leaders of the 16 squadrons took their turns to attend the draw for the quarterfinals under the principle of fairness, impartiality, and openness. The entire draw was broadcasted live via Skylink, while the various large video and media platforms were also broadcasting it.
The atmosphere of the quarterfinals was already completely different, with every single person that had walked up the stage having extremely solemn expressions on their faces.
