Frankly speaking, Cabel was rather interested in this Barran, as he was the one who had requested for this duel.
During the elimination rounds in Grozny City, this Barran had left a deep impression on him, as he had actually surpassed both him and Mo Zhong. Although Cabel and Mo Zhong weren't truly serious, the performance of an S rank attack in the arena was still rather shocking to everyone present.
Naturally, this alone wasn't enough. What Cabel truly admired was Barran's performance in the previous duel against the Divine Dragon Academy.
Strength and explosive power were secondary. What was most important was the unyielding spirit of fighting to the death. Every time he fell, he would stand up, even if he was covered in wounds, even if he was bathed in blood! Cabel liked this kind of thing, as it was in line with his taste and aesthetics. In fact, it even reminded Cabel of the time when he was still a rookie.
The same unyielding and unyielding nature, the same unwillingness to believe in heresy. The halo and willpower that enveloped Barran's body had once belonged to Cabel!
At that time, he pointed at the screen and confidently told everyone around him, "Did you see that? That's what a man should do! I like this guy! "
"Hi!"
Upon stepping onto the stage, Cabel did not give Barran the cold stare that everyone had expected him to give Barran. Instead, he displayed a rather friendly smile, and even took the initiative to greet Barran. "I've seen your performance in the previous duel. Brat, you're pretty good. Do your best in this duel, and bring out your strength. Let's see if you can create a miracle from me!"
In an instant, the noisy Skylink and stadium quietened down.
Who is Cabel? Bobo Torres's elder brother. Frankly speaking, the laymen in the audience might not have a clear idea of how strong he was. All they knew was that he was very strong. However, his temper had already spread throughout the entire Federation. Just like his younger brother, Bobo Torres, it wasn't the first or second time that he had gotten into conflict with others and caused a huge commotion because of that untouchable reverse scale of his.
In everyone's mind, this was definitely a man with the most violent temper. It was already good enough that such a man didn't go up on stage and humiliate the newbie, but he actually took the initiative to greet her? Moreover, he was greeting me with a smile and his tone was so gentle? Like a kind senior giving pointers to a junior?!
What happened to being irritable? What happened to the topic we agreed on? What happened to being rude and unreasonable?
I've already taken off my pants, and you're showing me this?!
"I understand! Cabel was definitely doing this on purpose! For a player like Barran, if you were to speak to him in a slightly nicer tone, he would be so touched that he wouldn't be able to find his bearings! That kind of emotional outburst would not have appeared! "
"Is that so? Fuck, look at Barran's expression! "
"Aiya! Oh my God! This is what it means to be old and cunning! "
Barron's expression showed that he was rather surprised.
Ever since he had entered the CHF, every single opponent he had met, regardless of whether they were strong or weak, had either looked down on him and humiliated him, or had beaten him up. In any case, there was no room for discussion. This was the first time someone had treated him so warmly!
Frankly speaking, Barran would be slightly more used to his opponent's attitude towards him. However, being treated with such gentleness was something that he wasn't used to. Nevertheless, he still felt slightly touched.
No one would like to be treated roughly. Respect was something that everyone longed for.
Barran was indeed very touched. "Senior, I will fight seriously!"
Senior? Cabel was a little dispirited. Was he that old?
All of the Torres fans present in the stadium, including the Torres preparatory area, instantly started to laugh crookedly. Alright, this could be considered as breaking a taboo!
Faced against the weird brothers, Cabel and Bobo, the Torres squadron was suffering unspeakably. Words like "old", "small", "big" and "young" were words that absolutely could not appear in their daily conversations! Caliban Crowe instantly recalled the joke he had told everyone in the training room. In the end, Bobo Torres, who was training next door, had heard it as a "small" joke, causing him to rush out and give him a beating!
Now, everyone would do their best to not speak when they were in the training room. God knows when they would accidentally break a taboo! Now, there was finally someone to share everyone's pain!
"You can just call me Cabel. You can also call me Heavy Artillery." Cabel's face sank. Heavy Artillery was the nickname he had given himself. However, it was clear that his taste wasn't good, as no one in the squadron would call him that.
"I'm sorry, senior Cabel!" Barran replied in an extremely earnest manner.
Instantly, the Torres squadron members burst out laughing. They had seen honest people, but never had they seen someone as honest as Barran. Truthfully speaking, Cabel was the only one who admired Barran. If it was someone else, he would have long exploded. Torres wanted to obtain victory, but they weren't anyone's lackey. They had their own style.
The veins on Cabel's forehead had popped out. "Brat, bring out your full strength. If not, don't blame me if you die!"
The stage instantly turned silent, as the killing intent that had suddenly spread out caused Barran to immediately focus his attention on the fight.
Cabel had left a deep impression on Barran during the elimination rounds. Frankly speaking, Barran had assumed that he would have a shadow in his heart. However, only after facing Cabel head-on did he discover that this wasn't the case.
Shouldn't he be afraid or nervous in the face of a powerful opponent? However, he wasn't.
He wasn't nervous, nor was he afraid. In fact, Barran felt a sliver of excitement, as though he was itching to give it a try!
Different from the state he had been in during the previous matches, Barran had an inexplicable self-confidence that he had never felt before.
That life-or-death match seemed to have given him an epiphany. Over the past few days of training, he had been unable to suppress the pleasant surprise he felt every single day! Frankly speaking, the changes he had undergone were huge, to the point that Barran didn't dare to believe it. In fact, there were even times where he suspected that he was hallucinating. Right now, facing Cabel was definitely the best way to test it out!
Both of them were empty-handed. Barran had originally brought a shield up to the stage. However, upon seeing that his opponent was empty-handed, he tossed it to the side.
Although a shield might be suitable to deal with a heavy soldier's greatsword, it was absolutely not suitable to deal with an empty-handed opponent. That's because a heavy and inconvenient shield would cause one's movements to slow down. Furthermore, an empty-handed attack would cause a greater degree of impact damage to one's opponent. That wasn't the defence that a shield excelled in.
A gentle breeze blew over, causing the corners of the clothes of the 2 to flutter about.
"Barran seems to be different from his previous matches. His expression is rather calm and confident!"
"That's right. The previous match had caused him to undergo a complete transformation. However, the insufficiency of his foundational strength is still a sore point. This is something that can't be changed in a short few days. What's truly worth watching is the big move that Barran had used in the previous match. That move was rather breathtaking. Will he use it right from the start of the match? Taking advantage of his peak condition to go all out is, in fact, a pretty good strategy. There might be a chance for him to do so! "
Ding!
The competition bell rang, appearing to be the signal to charge forward. Cabel's eyes flashed with brilliance, appearing just like a ferocious beast that had been released from its cage!
The incomparably heavy and glossy black armour emitted heavy 'kuang kuang kuang' sounds as he sprinted forward. Although his speed wasn't considered fast, it was absolutely not considered slow amongst heavy soldiers. As he sprinted forward, he appeared just like a black hurricane.
Violent advance!
The distance between the 2 of them wasn't far from each other, being only a few meters. However, in the blink of an eye, Cabel's fist had already arrived before Barran's chest!
Barran appeared to be completely unable to react in time, unexpectedly forgetting to block the incoming fist as he stood there foolishly.
Frankly speaking, the speed of Cabel's fist wasn't considered fast, nor did it come from a crafty angle. However, the momentum and aura behind it was astonishing. Even for the majority of heavy soldiers, this fist should be extremely easy to defend against. However, Barran wasn't able to defend against it. Furthermore, the fact that he didn't block it made many people feel that it was normal!
The surging explosive force smashed right into his chest!
Bang!
Barran was sent flying 14 to 15 metres away, before smashing his butt onto the ground!
It's over just like that? Fuck! Walking up to the stage with such confidence, coupled with the explosive force from the previous match, Cabel had assumed that he had improved a little. Who knew that he would be even worse than before! Can't he even raise his hand to block? Could it be that the explosive force from the previous match had blown him into a retard?
"Stand up!" Cabel didn't give chase. Anyone who had seen Barran's performance in the previous match would not believe that a single punch would be able to easily finish him off. Without talking about the other aspects of this fellow, his ability to take beatings and desire for victory were absolutely top-notch in this CHF. What's more, Cabel didn't see shock and bewilderment in the eyes of Barran, who had been sent flying. Instead, there was a sliver of excitement present in the latter's eyes.
