1st duel, Haunted House Divine Emperor squadron, victory!
"Oh my god! What ability is that?"
"Is that … a ghost?"
"A ghost? Only he can hit people, while others can't hit him? "
"Physical objects, special abilities, all of them missed! Could Gui Wulie really be a ghost?"
"Those who talk about ghosts can go and face the wall! That's definitely Gui Wulie's true core special ability! Damn, he's invincible! "
The Skylink erupted with activity!
"It's fortunate that Mario wasn't sent up. Gui Wulie's a complete counter to Mario! Regardless of how invincible his black flames are, they're useless if they can't burn him."
"Fortunately, fortunately. Sigh, the Blazing squadron still has Mario! Let's see Mario unleash his revenge in the next duel! Being able to win a duel against the Gui Family is a victory! "
The hearts of the Blazing City audience palpitated with fear and trepidation, while feeling pity and rejoicing. However, they had to admit that Sharmie had truly done her best. Only, Gui Wulie's special ability was too frightening. The title of the number one assassin in the Federation was well deserved! As one of the upper 5 families, the Gui Family's inheritance was truly invincible.
Ma Dong sat down on his butt. "Fuck! Are all of the Martial Ghost Divine Emperor so perverted? There's no way to counter that! "
"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone must be very curious as to why Sharmie's final attack was completely ineffective. Let me explain it to you all. That's the legendary dimensional combat technique, one of the criteria for an S + rank. Ordinary special abilities and Soul Power are unable to produce any effect on dimensional combat techniques. Naturally, dimensional combat techniques aren't invincible, just that it's extremely hard for people below that rank to comprehend them." Ruo Zhi's explanation caused the entire stadium and Skylink to erupt with even greater fervor. "This is the first time that an S + rank squadron has displayed a top-class combat technique after Napier Mo's Spiritual Soul combat technique!"
Gui Wulie did not pay any attention to it. Dimensional combat techniques would no longer be a secret in the upcoming duels. This was also the reason why the Zhao Family was considered to be inferior. Zhao Yilong had not even comprehended any Dimensional or Spiritual Soul combat techniques, and could not be considered as an expert.
Traditional techniques, precision special abilities, and incomparably tyrannical Soul Power were all like floating clouds in the face of dimensional combat techniques.
The over 100,000 people in the stadium erupted into world-shaking cheers. Not only did they want to watch the match, they wanted to see the mysterious and unimaginable power displayed.
Today, Gui Wulie had done it!
This was the powerful Haunted House's Emperor God Squad!
Looking at the silent Wang Zhong, Ma Dong's heart started to tighten slightly. This meant that Wang Zhong's cross wheels, Overlord Spear and everything else would become like floating clouds. Without talking about dimensional combat techniques, Wang Zhong's special abilities were his weak point. Why did he feel that the round-of-16 was causing people to tremble in fear?
He wasn't the only one who had sensed this, as even those watching via Skylink had felt the same way. In the morning, Napier Mo's display had caused countless people to start to doubt All Mouthy King's demeanor as a king. In the afternoon, Gui Wulie had revealed his hand, causing people to feel that a genuine expert would absolutely not waste his time in the OP.
Sharmie's defeat caused everyone to be astonished by Gui Wulie's strength, while there were many voices of pity. Truthfully speaking, Sharmie's duel was already extremely perfect. Against Gui Wulie, she did not make a single mistake. Indeed, she lived up to the reputation of the Blazing City in terms of her special ability. However, her opponent was even stronger, and she could only sigh helplessly.
"Sharmie, it's really a pity. But this is a competition. The charm of victory is cruel and resplendent." Ruo Zhi concluded, saying, "Following this, the Blazing squadron has fallen into an absolutely passive state …"
Mario! Mario! Mario!
Just at this moment, a wave of shouts suddenly rang out across the stadium! They were the supporters of the Blazing squadron, as well as Sharmie's fans. Sharmie's defeat had caused them to feel dejected. However, they still had Mario!
We come from the Blazing City! We have a passion like fire!
A temper like fire!
We have a clear distinction between love and hate! We have the Blazing squadron! We have Sharmie! We have Mario! We never believe in fate!
That's because we burn fate! We never believe in defeat! That's because we have Mario! We are the Blazing City! We have the black flames!
Singing voices rang out. There weren't many people in the audience of the Blazing City, with a thousand people appearing just like a drop of water in the vast ocean of a hundred thousand people in the main arena. However, when their singing voices rang out, the breathing, discussions, shouts, curses and laughter of the hundred thousand people in the main arena were all suppressed by them.
This wasn't only due to the volume of their voices. This was the Blazing City! Their emotions, their passion, were just like flames! They infected, they infected, and they ignited.
Mario walked calmly onto the stage. There was no longer any need for him to consider any tactics or tactics. Frankly speaking, he really admired Wang Zhong, especially his ability to endure pressure. However, he was unable to bring out such tactics, nor was he able to bring them out. He had to participate in this duel, as there were some moves that could only be used by certain people.
Raising his sword and shield, Mario sent his greetings towards the singing voices floating in the air!
"We come from the Blazing City!" Mario replied to his supporters.
Hearing the singing voices coming from the Blazing City, Gui Xinying stood up expressionlessly. She appeared extremely cold and detached, appearing as though nothing in this world had anything to do with her. Step by step. Unknowingly when, the sky had suddenly turned dark.
As Gui Xinying stood on the stage, the last sliver of sunlight in the entire main arena was devoured by the shadows.
"Gui Xinying! The 2nd member of the Martial Ghost Divine Emperor squadron is actually the little princess of the Gui Family. "
"This should be the foundation of an S +. Against Mario, Gui Hao is still able to remain calm and steady."
"The flames of hell aren't necessarily invincible. Spiritual Soul combat techniques and dimensional combat techniques are the truly awesome ones. The flames of hell are still within the category of special abilities."
"Looking down on women? The Stuart Family still has Carolyn! The Seer Family also has Divian, one of the 4 princesses. Gui Xinying's strength is definitely not weak! "
There were many supporters of Gui Xinying. Although she had an ice- cold personality, there were many people who liked this sort of thing. Of the 4 princesses, Divian and Carolyn had the most exposure. Mo Xingchen wasn't a combat type, while Gui Xinying was the most low profile. Nevertheless, her reputation as a genius had long been heard of. In terms of appearance, Gui Xinying was different from Carolyn's gorgeous appearance and Divian's passion. She appeared just like an orchid in an empty valley, with a slightly narcissistic appearance. Nevertheless, she made people want to understand and possess her. Although a rose had thorns, it was currently in its blooming period.
This was a fight that could be fought. Mario had defeated a Mo's List soldier, and possessed sufficient strength. What's more, Gui Xinying was also a top-class expert. From the looks of it, it was a 50-50 fight.
Gui Xinying appeared extremely indifferent, with not a single expression present on her face. Her coldness wasn't ice cold, as it was, in fact, a type of emotion. However, there wasn't any extraneous emotions present on Gui Xinying's body.
"2nd duel, start!"
The referee gave the order.
Whoosh …
The ramrod straight Gui Xinying instantly disappeared from her original position. After an explosion of power, her movements left afterimages behind as she floated towards Mario without a single trace of smoke or fire. Mario was already prepared for her. Although he had defeated Tianqiong in the previous duel, not a single shred of arrogance could be seen from him, and he still maintained the stance of a challenger.
Mario had never underestimated the strength of an S +, especially with 2 people using combat techniques that he was unable to comprehend. Therefore, he didn't feel that his special ability was invincible. However, he also didn't feel that his Dimensional combat techniques and Spiritual Soul combat techniques were truly invincible. It was just that there were some tricks that he had yet to discover. This was due to his lack of vision. If he wanted to deal with Gui Xinying, he would have to prepare for the worst case scenario, which was to stabilize his defence and wait for an opportunity. He believed in the strength of his hellish flames.
Wang Zhong was extremely serious as he watched the match. The round-of-16 was extraordinary, and had brought him many things. Mario's choice was undoubtedly correct, as his thoughts were extremely clear. With Gui Xinying's current situation, there was an 80 to 90% chance that she knew Dimensional Spiritual Soul combat techniques.
It had to be said that the 10 Great Families of the Federation were truly out of the ordinary with regards to the hyperdimension. Accurately speaking, Dimensional techniques were the use of Soul Power to allow one's fleshly body to temporarily connect with the hyperdimension, allowing one to form a shuttle effect for a short period of time. Naturally, there would be a special effect depending on the talent of each person. Although it appeared to be just a simple move, in terms of comprehension, there was actually a huge gap between them. This was something that even Heroic Soul Stage experts were unable to use.
Spiritual Soul combat techniques were, in fact, interconnected with Dimensional combat techniques. There was no absolute difference between the two, with the only difference being the focus. The Soul Sea was a huge discovery made by mankind, and it possessed many possibilities. Having seen the Fate Stone since young, Wang Zhong's Soul Sea was also different from the rest. The usage of the Soul Sea was definitely not limited to the production of Soul Power, as it was as natural as breathing.
Gui Wulie's Dimensional combat techniques should be able to use some sort of connection, allowing his body to exist on the boundary between reality and the hyperdimension. Therefore, physical attacks would be ineffective against him. Similarly, he shouldn't be able to attack others. Therefore, he would definitely reveal himself when attacking. However, it was a pity that Sharmie wasn't aware of this point. Furthermore, even if she was aware of it, she might not be able to grab hold of such an opportunity.
Napier Mo's 5-coloured explosive doppelganger leaned towards the usage of his Soul Sea. Although it appeared corporeal, it was, in fact, a Spiritual Body. The greatest effect of his explosion was to directly attack his opponent's Soul Sea. Clearly, his Soul Sea was extremely special.
This also meant that the top aristocratic families had already completely surpassed the academies, as their knowledge structure was built upon the Soul Sea and the hyperdimension.
At this moment, Gui Xinying had occupied the absolute upper hand on the stage. Her fleeting movements and incisive attacks had caused Mario to appear like a tortoise that had shrunk its head into its shell. However, in reality, Mario's defence was extremely wretched. Having lived under Sharmie's "shadow" for many years, he was rather proficient in the aspect of defence. Coupled with his extremely powerful earth attribute special ability, it caused Gui Xinying to be unable to deal with him for a period of time. What's more, Gui Xinying clearly had some fear and dread towards him. Although she appeared to be on the defensive, everyone knew that Mario's hellish flames were the most difficult special ability to deal with in this CHF.
Just a little bit of it would spell the end for her. The members of the Blazing squadron were sweating profusely for Mario, while an anxious expression appeared on Sharmie's face. Although she had given her all, Sharmie still wanted to win this duel. No one wanted to lose without a fight. Therefore, all of this depended on Mario.
There were quite a few people from the various large financial groups present in the VIP podium. Although the strength of the Parliament had increased by leaps and bounds, wanting to break through the blockade of the upper 5 families truly wasn't that easy.
Gui Xinying's attacks were extremely graceful. However, once Mario was unable to defend, he would immediately unleash a circle of hellish flames. This move was extremely shameless … it could basically be said to be a shameless fighting style, yet it was extremely practical.
Using the hellish flames to attack was simply unable to catch Gui Xinying's movements. However, what could she do to him if he used it to defend?
The Gui Family side appeared extremely calm, appearing as though they weren't the slightest bit worried about Gui Xinying. Gui Hao was even chatting with the people beside him.
On the stage, Gui Xinying appeared exceedingly calm as she continued to rush over. A solemn expression appeared on Mario's face from the start to the end. Although he appeared relaxed, he could feel the terrifying Soul Power coming from his opponent's attacks with every single one of his defences. If this continued, he would definitely be the one to be finished.
He needed to break this duel!
Gui Xinying's runic sword came rushing over from his side once again. Raising his shield, Mario put up an extremely accurate defence. However, a strange change occurred.
Mario's runic shield exploded apart!
Many people did not understand what was going on. However, quite a few experts present in the stadium could see that every single one of Gui Xinying's attacks seemed to have landed on a single point. Mario's runic shield wasn't indestructible.
The sudden change clearly caused Mario to be slightly flustered. Gui Xinying's runic sword shot straight towards him. However, Mario did not evade or retreat. Instead, he took the initiative to meet it head on. The runic sword pierced right through his chest, causing blood to spurt out. However, Mario's hand tightly grabbed onto Gui Xinying's runic sword, while a resplendent radiance blossomed from his eyes.
This was his chance!
BANG …
The heavens and earth collapsed, a fiery hell!
In an instant, a grave-like earth wall enveloped the 2, while surging hellish flames rushed towards the skies. This was his only chance!
How would Mario not know that his runic shield wouldn't be able to hold on? He was putting on an act. When his opponent's sword struck him, it was also when he would relax the most. That was his only chance. He knew that under normal circumstances, his hellish flames would definitely be unable to hit Gui Xinying. His opponent might not even be able to use 70% of her strength.
The entire stadium turned deathly silent. Who would have thought that such a change would occur in the time it takes for a spark to fly off a flint? Everyone in Blazing City clenched their fists tightly. This was Mario's final move in exchange for his life, and was also the final move taught by the academy — Life Sacrificial Combat Technique.
Even a Heroic Soul Stage would be done for if they came into contact with the hellish flames. Blazing City was finally going to obtain victory for this duel. Although this might not have anything to do with the final result, it was a victory for their dignity!
However, the Gui Family was still chatting cheerfully and wittily …
This …
In what seemed like a blink of an eye, the earth wall formed by Mario exploded apart, causing black flames to scatter in all directions. Other than his heavily injured self, there was nothing else present …
Gui Xinying's figure appeared not far away. Appearing as though she had broken through the void, she appeared to be brimming with mystery and elegance.
"You're really not bad. Coming to the Gui Family will allow you to unleash your full potential. You shouldn't stop here." said Gui Xinying in an indifferent tone.
Mario looked at the sword embedded in his chest. Truthfully speaking, his opponent could pull it out, and he would definitely die. This seemingly cold and emotionless girl was, in fact, just a cold exterior.
With a bitter smile, Mario shook his head and said, "My life isn't mine!"
After saying that, the black flames around Mario's body started to burn, unexpectedly melting the runic sword embedded in his chest, causing his face to turn even paler.
The black flames grew increasingly dense. If the initial hellish flames were said to have caused people to be shocked by its might, the current hellish flames actually brought about a dense evil aura, death, decay and countless other negative effects.
"Mario, that's enough!" shouted Sharmie from below the stage.
Within the black flames, a smile appeared on Mario's face. He knew that Sharmie wanted to win, and how important this victory was to her. Therefore, he definitely had to win this duel, regardless of the cost!
All of a sudden, an illusory figure appeared behind Mario, appearing at the position where Gui Xinying had been trapped. Yet another Gui Xinying had appeared, her fair right hand piercing through the black flames, before chopping straight towards the back of Mario's neck.
Mario's flames came to a screeching halt, as he stared in disbelief at the completely silent Gui Xinying that had appeared behind him. However, there was still another Gui Xinying in front of him.
The black flames traveled along his arm, instantly burning the entire body of "Gui Xinying". Not long after, Gui Xinying's body turned illusory once again, before disappearing along with the hellish flames.
At this moment, Mario had already collapsed onto the ground. From the start to the end, he was still unable to understand what had happened.
The entire stadium turned deathly silent. What the fuck … was this???
This was the little princess of the Gui Family???
The dark magician had basically been beaten into a jet-black little kid.
2nd duel, Martial Ghost Divine Emperor squadron, victory!
The members of the Blazing squadron had already rushed up. As Sharmie passed by Gui Xinying, she whispered a word of thanks to her. She truly didn't have the slightest bit of temper in her loss.
Gui Xinying continued to walk down the stage with an emotionless expression on her face. At this moment, the healer was already treating Mario. Seeing the anxious Sharmie nodding her head, Sharmie felt relieved. This was definitely Gui Xinying showing mercy. If not, even if Mario didn't die, he would be crippled.
In the viewing gallery, the 2 legendary chief judges looked at each other and shook their heads. "Kids these days are too impulsive. Do they really think that they're invincible?"
"Only this little lass from the Gui Family is slightly different."
"Stuart and Martial Ghost Divine Emperor are too far ahead of the others. The Parliament doesn't have much of a chance this year."
On the other side, Mario vomited out a large mouthful of black blood, before regaining consciousness. At this moment, Sharmie had already sent a slap flying towards him. "You bastard! Without this old lady's permission, see if I don't beat you to death!"
Mario was stunned by the slap. "Cough cough. Captain, I'm in the wrong. Can you wait for me to recover a little before you hit me?"
Sharmie hugged Mario's head and placed it on her heaven-defying chest, while her eyes turned slightly red. At this moment, the other squadron members no longer felt that Mario was pitiful. All of them wanted to give this fellow a slap.
The loss of the 2 great core members had led to the Blazing squadron's utter defeat. In the end, they were eliminated 0: 4, while the Martial Ghost Divine Emperor squadron easily entered the top 8.
At the end of the first day of the CHF, the S + squadrons had once again defended their position as the absolute leader. At this moment, people had discovered that the showiness and magnificence of the earlier stages was due to their opponents being too weak. Only by facing a true test would one be able to see their true strength.
The popularity of the Tianjing squadron, which was originally the leader, had dropped by quite a bit. Replacing them were the 4 great S + squadrons. Even the Stuart and Grozny squadrons, who had yet to take action, were able to see the disparity in strength between them.
As of now, super dark horses like the Tianjing and Giant God Peak squadrons could only be considered as sideshow squadrons that still needed to prove themselves.
On the first day, the S + squadrons had crushed their way into the top 8. If there were a few matches with greater suspense, the match between Copperfield and the Blazing Angels on the second day would undoubtedly be one of them.
Of the 10 great S ranked squadrons, even including the already eliminated Divine Dragon squadron and Bella Dean squadron, Copperfield had always been considered as the lowest ranked S ranked squadron. On the surface, they barely had the support of a Mo's List ranged soldier, Karkel. Although Laura was fortunate enough to be ranked on the Mo's List, this summoner ranking was more due to her fame, as well as the Mo Family's evaluation of her future potential. Being a summoner that could only hover around the Elite Division in the OP on the Skylink, she couldn't be said to be weak. However, when it came to the top 8 of the CHF, she was truly somewhat unable to keep up.
