His footwork could confuse the eyes, but it was unable to confuse the senses of genuine ranged soldiers. Many ranged soldiers would always impatiently take action to suppress their nimble close combat opponents, for fear that their opponents would seize the initiative. In fact, this was a huge problem with their mentality. Only with self-confidence would one be able to truly suppress their opponents.
This was the last defender of ranged soldiers in this era, Alasi Torres!
The atmosphere turned heavy. Alasi's technique had actually caused Grai, who was famed for his footwork, to be unable to move an inch. Was he just going to wait for his death?
BANG …
The third shot was fired!
Grai's runic sword was placed horizontally before his chest, while a faint silvery glow radiated from his left hand. His hand, which would cause even women to be jealous of him, drew a circle with the tip of his sword, before Soul Power blossomed from the runic sword.
A runic shield formed from Soul Power appeared out of nowhere!
Illusion? Self-hypnosis? What the hell was that? How could he block the third shot from the powerful Mogren's Wheels?
The high speed third bullet had already reached the point where it had completely run out of trajectory. This was a shot formed from the runic array of the Mogren's Guns. The formidable aspect of this divine weapon was that each shot was stronger than the previous one.
The high-speed bullet had already arrived before Grai in an instant, appearing as though it wanted to pierce through everything!
However, with the preparation he had made, Grai's runic hand seal had just ended when the third bullet had arrived before him.
BANG …
The bullet smashed into the dazzling "runic shield", causing it to explode. However, the invincible third shot from the Mogren's Wheels had been blocked.
Grai's miraculous combat technique had shocked the entire stadium!
Everyone was dumbfounded. What kind of combat technique was that?
Using Soul Power as the core to construct a runic shield that possessed such defensive capabilities?
Every single academy had such a thought, but no one had ever heard of anyone actually being able to do it!
Was this the legendary "turning nothingness into reality"?
Even Ruo Zhi and Chen Yu 'er were dumbfounded by what they saw. It was fine that Grai was handsome, but how did he have such talent?
The idea of using Soul Power as the core to construct runic patterns had existed since a long time ago. However, the time it took to construct the runic patterns, the strength of the runic patterns, etc., were all problems. In the end, it wasn't as practical as using actual weapons.
However, today, on this battlefield, Grai had created a runic shield with a single hand, causing the Federation to gasp in admiration.
Silence filled the VIP lounge. Although no one spoke, everyone could feel the strange atmosphere in the room. Even the 10 Great Families had just started to dabble in runic techniques that could turn illusions into reality. This Grai … was truly heaven-defying. How did Tianjing possess such talent and character?
Grai was different from Wang Zhong. With a single look, one could tell that Wang Zhong was a "wild child" or something similar. However, Grai possessed the aura of nobility. This was something that quite a few people present were willing to accept. On the other hand, Wang Zhong was incompatible with them. They definitely had to obtain such an outstanding talent!
If this Grai was able to obtain the support of the Gui Family, he would definitely be able to become an outstanding figure. In the future, he would also become a great help to Gui Hao. If one were to say that Grai's unique characteristics weren't considered outstanding, then this move of his was sufficient to prove that Grai possessed the talent to reach the Sanctuary Division.
How could a mere Wang Zhong possess such assistance!?
In the stadium, Wang Zhong gawked. Indeed, this move of Grai's had caused him to be extremely astonished. Some time ago, he had unintentionally chatted with Grai about this concept. This was the inspiration he had received from Aioros. The true usage of living runic patterns should be ever-changing. Ever since he had come into contact with this domain, Wang Zhong had never given up on exploring it. Frankly speaking, other than grasping the small spatial bag, he truly did not have any further comprehension.
Never did he imagine that Grai would actually possess such a learning ability. Although it was only the most basic construction of a familiar weapon, it was already rather miraculous for him to be able to take this step.
This was the first time such a combat technique had appeared in this CHF. The entire stadium was filled with discussions, especially since it had appeared in Grai's hands.
"I feel like I'm watching a fake CHF!"
"Is this a movie?"
"Oh my god! Exactly who is this Grai? How can he know everything!"
"I simply can't believe my own eyes! Frankly speaking, I feel that this is an impossible matter! However, this has indeed happened!" Ruo Zhi was also sighing in admiration. "I don't dare to make any rash comments on this, as this has already exceeded the scope of my understanding. Perhaps, there might be an expert that will give an analysis and answer to this question after this competition!"
"It doesn't seem like a Spiritual Soul combat technique. It's more like a runic technique." Carolyn was also somewhat shocked. Frankly speaking, including her, the apex experts of the S + ranked squadrons, as well as the people behind the scenes, were more interested in Tianjing's Grai than they were in Wang Zhong.
All along, Grai had displayed an unfathomable level of strength, appearing as though he had no limits. Although he had yet to display any unique talents or big moves, he was able to obtain victory just by relying on his foundations. Why would he need to display such things? No one would believe that an expert with such foundations wouldn't have any trump cards up his sleeves. Now, something that could truly shock everyone had appeared!
"There are some experts from the empires that specialize in this." Gui Hao nodded his head. They definitely had a lot of experience and knowledge. Rather than calling this a Spiritual Soul combat technique, it would be more accurate to call it a man-made runic pattern.
"It's slightly different from that of the empires. The runic patterns of the empires are closer to the essence of totems. However, from what I can see, Grai's structure is more similar to our Federation's structure." Said Vladimir in an indifferent tone. "This brat's slightly interesting. It's no wonder that Tianjing is able to reach this stage. I'm afraid that Torres won't be able to pass this stage so easily."
"That's too inconceivable! Wang Zhong has actually done it …" Laura could not help but blurt out, immediately attracting everyone's attention. "Wang Zhong was the one who discovered the living runic pattern. Perhaps, he has found a way to use this technique in combat."
Clearly, Laura had a slight misunderstanding. She had assumed that Wang Zhong had taught this technique to Grai. In reality, Wang Zhong had only given a hint, and using it to this stage was Grai's own comprehension.
The VIP room instantly turned silent. … Wang Zhong again … Divian could not help but shoot a look at Carolyn. Exactly what kind of person had she fallen for? In the past, she had always felt that Carolyn's eyesight was better than hers. However, this time, Carolyn might have truly been wrong. She had completely underestimated Wang Zhong. In fact, even if they weren't able to become boyfriend and girlfriend, they could still become friends. With Wang Zhong's character, he would definitely become a great help to the Stuart Family. However, from the looks of it, Wang Zhong's calmness and decisiveness in leaving the VIP room showed that he wasn't the kind of person that would drag things out. What a pity.
Not only was this group of people shocked, Alasi was also shocked.
Frankly speaking, other than those top class heavy soldiers, any other soldier, even if it was someone at Carolyn's level, Alasi was confident that his subsequent attacks would cause all of them to despair!
Before both parties had a clear understanding of each other's strength, Alasi's spear drawing combined with the Mogren's Guns seemed to be an invincible move on a certain level. However, his opponent's runic shield was indeed extremely surprising. Pure Casted Soul Stage Soul Power was basically unable to defend against the Mogren's Guns. However, it was a different story after being mixed with a runic array. Just like the Mogren's Guns, only technique and intelligence could turn something rotten into something miraculous!
A sliver of brilliance flashed across Alasi's eyes, while the Mogren's Guns blossomed with brilliance. This was the strongest spear attack contained within the runic array, with its might far surpassing that of the previous 3 spears. This spear was also known as the "spear that could pierce through the world". It was just that arrogant even in the dark era, possessing a terrifying defence-breaking ability. It could be said to be invincible within the Casted Soul Stage!
Bang!
The 4th spear had already been fired!
The powerful recoil caused Alasi's entire body to jerk backwards violently. Nevertheless, his face was brimming with curiosity. Being a ranged soldier, he wanted to know exactly if there was anyone that could truly block the 4th spear attack from the Mogren's Guns.
Grai did not evade the incoming spear. Instead, he used his pure white hands to construct another runic shield around his runic sword. However, what was different this time was that he had constructed it 3 times in a row.
3 miraculous shields appeared before Grai. Clearly, Grai had chosen to receive the 4th spear attack head-on. Perhaps, this was the greatest respect one could give to a ranged soldier.
Bang … Bang … Bang …
The 4th spear attack from the Mogren's Guns brutally smashed apart the 3 runic shields that Grai had erected, before smashing against the runic sword without any decrease in power. The runic sword exploded into pieces. This was the terrifying might of the Mogren's Guns. At the instant that the sword was destroyed, Grai had already taken action. Clearly, Grai understood the unique characteristics of the Mogren's Guns. If Ma Dong couldn't even obtain this information, he could really retire from his position as a squadron leader.
Grai's speed was so fast that he appeared like a ray of light, shooting straight towards Alasi like an arrow.
Upon seeing Grai construct 3 runic shields, Alasi had already guessed the outcome. This combat technique could be said to be at the forefront of the Federation's academies. The audience was only there to watch the show, and did not realise that this technique could lead to a revolution in the Federation.
Although Alasi's excellent situational awareness and judgement caused him to sigh in admiration, he wasn't intimidated by his opponent. The Mogren's Guns had already returned to his waist. Being the best ranged soldier in a squadron, there would usually be other soldiers to buy time for him. However, such a thing clearly did not exist at this moment.
There was no lack of theoretical experts in the various great academies. Upon seeing this spectacle unfold before their eyes, Alasi had very rarely used the Mogren's Guns' 4 Divine Slaughter. However, whenever he did, no one would be able to block it. This was the first time he had made a miscalculation. With Grai's strength, Alasi would be finished if he continued on like this, and Tianjing's legend would continue!
The problem was that Alasi appeared to have given up on any form of resistance just like Grai, and could only watch on helplessly as Grai rushed towards him. Even if he couldn't unleash any powerful attacks, he could still use ordinary attacks. Even though ordinary attacks were completely useless against Grai's movement techniques.
Quite a few people in the participant viewing gallery looked towards the Torres squadron. Isn't this too casual? Did they just allow Alasi to go up and fire 4 shots?
Who the fuck would be able to stop Tianjing?
Although Grai did not reduce his speed, he could feel that something was different. Could it be pollen?
Was it purposefully allowing him to get closer?
However, in reality, as long as he held his breath, pollen would be useless against him. Quite a few people had the same thoughts. However, Grai quickly rejected this idea. Not everyone would be as unscrupulous as the Divine Dragon squadron. The Torres Family still cared about their face. Alasi's expression was exceedingly calm as he watched Grai approach.
His intuition told him that there was a problem. However, this wasn't the time for hesitation. Grai wasn't the type of person that would be frightened by an empty fort strategy.
In the blink of an eye, Grai had arrived. His Spectral Steps were only 2 metres away from Alasi, with the Hundred-Fold Palms ready to be unleashed. At this moment, even a Mo's List heavy soldier would be scared witless. However, Alasi was still as calm as ever.
No pollen …
Grai's heart calmed down slightly. However, it was at this instant that a strange change occurred. A gigantic shadow suddenly appeared in the narrow space between the 2 …
Accurately speaking, it was a gigantic mouth …
Grai's reaction was also at the pinnacle, with his instantaneous explosive power comparable to a Mo's List assassin. His Spectral Steps rapidly changed in an attempt to break free. However, just as he was about to make a move, the gigantic mouth had already swallowed Grai whole with lightning speed. It was at this moment that the gigantic mouth revealed its true form.
Dimensional Summoned Beast — Giant Void Mouth!
A mysterious dimensional life form. It only had a floating head, and would spend the majority of its time in a dormant state. When prey appeared, it would swallow them whole. It could swallow anything …
This was a life form that possessed the fastest instantaneous attack speed amongst all the known dimensional life forms. Within a hundredth of a second, any prey that entered its attack range would never be able to escape.
The entire stadium turned deathly silent. Those beauties that were prepared to cheer for their prince charming Grai, and were about to stand up and take off their clothes, came to an abrupt halt. Their prince charming had been swallowed by a frightening head …
Removing his hat, Alasi gave a salute towards his surroundings …
1st duel, victory for the Torres squadron!
The entire stadium turned deathly silent. This … was a complete and utter suppression from both sides!
From the very start, Alasi, the strongest ranged soldier in the CHF, was actually a Soul Beast Master! This immediately caused people to feel a slight sense of despair. From the very beginning, Alasi did not feel that his Mogren's Guns would be able to settle this duel. It wasn't that he wasn't confident, but that he understood the differences between occupations. Being an old-fashioned ranged soldier, his main use was in group battles, and not duels. However, his dimensional beasts were able to catch opponents off guard. Compared to Grai, he might be more afraid of Wang Zhong's cross wheels.
After a few seconds, the entire stadium rang out with enthusiastic cheers, as the Torres supporters finally breathed a sigh of relief. It had to be said that the dark horse Tianjing was always filled with various uncertainties. However, Torres had won in a more beautiful manner. Most importantly, they had not targeted Grai's hay fever, causing them to appear even more imposing!
If a ranged soldier did not have any life-saving trump cards, it would be impossible for them to be ranked on the Mo's List, regardless of how powerful they were. This was also the reason why Alasi was able to be ranked on the Mo's List, as he was also a Soul Beast Master.
Possessing a dimensional life form, the Void Mouth. This trump card had truly been hidden for a long time. God knows how the Mo Family was able to make such a judgement.
A sliver of a smile appeared at the corner of Alasi's mouth. In fact, the Mo Family had only made a guess, and did not have any concrete evidence. However, they had to go all out against the Tianjing squadron. They could not afford to lose this duel. If not, not only would the Torres Family be placed in an awkward position, the benefits of the entire aristocratic family would be affected. No one had expected for such a vanguard to appear in the Parliament. Most importantly, the Tianjing squadron had absolutely no relationship with the Parliament. However, it was now hard to get off the back of a tiger, and no one had the energy to care about Giant God Peak. If they did not deal with Tianjing, how could they talk about the future?
Regardless of who their opponent was, Torres would definitely not be able to pass this trial!
