At this moment, Tianjing's atmosphere was much better, as no one had underestimated their opponent or become conceited due to their victory. Scarlet was currently flipping through Alasi's information in an extremely serious manner, and could not help but sigh in admiration. This was a genuine ranged soldier, with comprehensive techniques and various combat techniques. She still had a lot to learn.
"There's still the most important one, Bobo Torres. Without a doubt, he's the strongest expert of Torres."
The video showed the fight that had been pinned at the top of the official discussion forums for a long time. Amidst the orderly shouts of "Heavenly King Crushes Earth Tiger, Bobo 1.5 metres tall", a robust heavy soldier had used a wolf tooth club to smash fiercely onto Bobo Torres's head. However, the result was that the wolf tooth club had shattered, while his head remained unharmed. Bobo Torres's frightening defence, as well as his frost-like gaze, caused the Tianjing squadron to involuntarily shiver in fear, even though they were separated by a screen.
What followed was a series of combat information regarding Bobo Torres. It had to be said that he was a super famous person within Torres. Alasi was undoubtedly the practical type, calm and wise. There was nothing wrong with him being the captain. However, Bobo was the strongest. Even without using his dimensional beasts, his close combat capabilities were unparalleled.
"Perhaps, his only weakness is his fluctuating emotions, which makes him easily angered." Said Ma Dong. Everyone looked towards Wang Zhong. Clearly, this was Wang Zhong's cup of tea. Alasi might not dare to face Wang Zhong head-on. Currently, the outside world had already treated Wang Zhong as the best dueling soldier. There was no need to doubt this, as he had a 50% chance of winning against anyone.
"Being able to reach this stage is already something that all of us, including the academy that has been looking forward to our performance, as well as those concerned about us, are already extremely satisfied." Said Scarlet with a smile. "Therefore, let us enjoy this competition together. Regardless of victory or defeat, we just have to give it our all!"
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. Frankly speaking, having reached this stage, no one would lose their fighting spirit. Just like what Scarlet had said, Tianjing's performance in the round-of-16 had already exceeded their usual standards. For the upcoming matches, they would fight in their own style. At the same time, they did not wish to see Wang Zhong shouldering all of the heavy burdens on his own shoulders.
"We're the Tianjing squadron!" Everyone's fighting spirit soared.
As for what Scarlet had said about enjoying combat, this was his original intention for participating in the CHF. Overly utilitarian thinking and stubbornness towards victory might not be suitable for everyone.
Compared to the liveliness in Tianjing, the atmosphere of the losers in a secret room in Stuart City was completely different.
Zhao Zimo silently sat on the chair that had once made him high-spirited.
The lights in the room were not turned on. In the green recovery cabin, a figure who had been in a coma all this time was emitting a dim green light under the reflection of the water in the cabin.
Just now, the clan's elder council had sent him another message. Apart from the routine scolding, more importantly, the clan had brought a piece of even worse news. Several of the important rewards involved in this CHF, including the quota to enter the Starting Ground, as well as the family's various activities, had all ended in failure.
The quotas that were under the control of the Parliament were no longer as easy to talk to as they were under the control of the 10 great families. The unwritten rules and the distribution of benefits were no longer applicable. What's more, even the circle of the 10 great families had already excluded their Zhao Family. Naturally, this was only related to the distribution of benefits in this CHF. However, this was already an extremely vicious beginning and precedent. The collapse of a sturdy building would usually start from the first brick. All of this was due to the stupidity and incompetence of the Divine Dragon squadron!
Zhao Yilong was lying in the recovery cabin beside him. It had already been a few days, yet there was not the slightest trace of him waking up. In the instant he had lost to Wang Zhong, not only had his body been knocked down, his soul had also been knocked down.
He wasn't the family's designated successor, and had some flaws in his identity. Losing to All Mouthy King in such a humiliating manner had caused the family to suffer an enormous humiliation, while also causing the family's status within the 10 great families to drop. The clan's elder council had already been thoroughly disappointed in Zhao Yilong.
Zhao Zimo continued to sit in a dark corner, a sliver of brilliance sparkling within his eyes.
Frankly speaking, ever since he had lost the competition, Zhao Zimo had been constantly reflecting on himself.
Why did he lose?
Admittedly, Wang Zhong's strength and Barran's performance were the greatest reasons why the Divine Dragon squadron had suffered such a crushing defeat. However, was there no reason for him to do so?
There was! Of course there was! Not only was there, it was also the main reason!
He wasn't vicious enough, not vicious enough to his enemies, not vicious enough to his own people.
If he was vicious enough to his enemies, he definitely had an even more vicious move up his sleeves, allowing him to completely destroy Tianjing before they even stepped onto the stage. If he was sufficiently hateful towards his own people, he would basically not have considered Zhao Yilong's feelings. In the 4th duel against Barran, he would have directly sent Zhao Yilong onto the stage. That would have resulted in a complete 4: 0 suppression, with Tianjing not even having the slightest chance of making a comeback!
He had already quietly stayed in his room for 3 days. This silence was absolutely not due to him being dispirited or depressed. Instead, it was due to him pondering over some things, as well as abandoning some of the conscience and humanity that still remained in his heart. He had discovered a fatal weakness, which was that he did not control his own strength, which made it extremely difficult for him to make the correct judgement. This thought had existed in his mind in the past. However, it had recently grown like weeds. Luring Zhao Yilong to use his forbidden power was one of his moves.
All for the sake of becoming even stronger!
The only person that could be trusted, was himself!
Now, all he needed to do was to wait for the limelight to subside, before convincing his family to transplant Zhao Yilong's genes into his body. Although the success rate was only 30%, it was already more than enough.
In the past, he could only stay behind the scenes. Regardless of how much authority he was given, he was still unable to walk to the front of the stage. As for Zhao Yilong, he was just a simple-minded person with a well-developed body. Frankly speaking, neither of them had the qualifications to do so.
He did not hate Tianjing for bringing defeat to the Divine Dragon squadron. On the contrary, at this instant, Zhao Zimo suddenly felt extremely grateful towards Tianjing and Wang Zhong. If not for Wang Zhong, he did not know how long he would have to wait to realise this point.
Zhao Zimo slowly stood up. After sitting quietly for 3 days, his legs had turned somewhat numb. Nevertheless, his mind was abnormally clear, while the gaze in his eyes was frighteningly cold.
Step by step, he walked out of his room. Opening the door, he did not spare a single glance for Zhao Yilong, who he had once treated as a brother.
There were no longer any feelings of brotherhood present in his eyes, nor was there the dispirited and bewildered expression from 2 to 3 days ago.
The only thing present now was a bone-chilling coldness and calmness.
It was time for him to abandon those feelings that he had once valued, yet were not worth a single cent.
There was no need to play those childish games anymore. The younger generation of the Zhao Family did not need a scholar and a fighter. All they needed was a unified voice, an absolute overlord!
Goodbye, Zhao Yilong. To the Zhao Family in the future, you'll just be a shameful piece of history!
