It was extremely difficult to make a breakthrough within a short period of time. However, Barran was able to familiarize and fuse his defensive techniques, his gravity attribute special ability and his killing move, the Barbaric Charge. Although this move had definitely been thoroughly analysed, as long as he maintained his calm during combat, he would still be able to seize the opportunity to obtain victory. This was also what Barran had been persisting on all this while. As long as he didn't give up, there would always be an opportunity.
On the other hand, Scarlet and Emily hoped that they would be able to take on more responsibilities. Top notch experts basically all had special abilities that could guarantee certain kills, as well as combat techniques that surpassed the Casted Soul Stage after fusing them together. This was something that Scarlet and Emily lacked. Although Scarlet had displayed an astonishing performance in the previous duel, such an intelligent move could only be used once.
Frankly speaking, it was already a luxury for such a miracle to occur once. It was impossible for them to appear again in the duel against Martial Ghost Divine Emperor. It was just that the two of them had yet to give up.
Wang Zhong and Grai didn't show any signs of pressure on their faces. "That composition of yours really has a lot of thought in it. In fact, composition is easy. However, the final move of turning illusions into reality has a slight hint of a Spiritual Soul combat technique."
With a faint smile, Grai replied, "Senior, don't you think that the so-called dimension is just a reflection of illusions into reality?"
Wang Zhong nodded his head. Indeed, there were many things in the hyperdimension that had a slight hint of reflecting illusions into reality. Therefore, the understanding of Dimensional combat techniques was also related to this aspect.
Although Grai had lost to Alasi in the previous duel, Alasi wasn't able to defeat Grai. However, the Void Mouth was a vicious move. With this move, Alasi was basically invincible. Even if he couldn't beat Grai, he could always run away. Being able to match with such a dimensional life form wasn't just a matter of strength, it was also a matter of luck.
"There isn't a single position in the Martial Ghost Divine Emperor squadron that's weak. From the information we've gathered, the bright cards are Gui Hao, Gui Xinying and Gui Wulie. As for the other 2 mainstays, Rassen and Ville Monla, they're the elites that Martial Ghost Divine Emperor had recruited over the past few years. With the Gui Family's eyesight, it wouldn't be strange for them to have a Dimensional combat technique." Said Wang Zhong. Ma Dong had already passed the data to him. In fact, after looking through the data, it was only the surface. Basically, Tianjing's combat tactics were already extremely extravagant. On paper, there was a huge disparity in their strength. Therefore, there wasn't a need for any special tactics for the quarterfinals. Barran and the rest just needed to do their best.
Clearly, Wang Zhong wasn't like Ma Dong, as he yearned for an even stronger opponent. Truthfully speaking, the competition had only just begun.
"Senior, do you want to win?" Grai suddenly asked. "I want to win!"
Wang Zhong looked at Grai and smiled. "Then let's give it a try!"
Having reached this stage, although the other squadron members wanted to do their best, in reality, they were already unable to do so. Even Barran found it extremely difficult to do so. Naturally, being the captain, Wang Zhong could not destroy the morale of his squadron members.
Unexpectedly, he was finally able to see a sliver of fighting spirit within Grai's eyes. It could be said that they would only be able to enter the group battle phase if they managed to win 2 duels against Martial Ghost Divine Emperor.
Even Wang Zhong did not believe that he would be able to get lucky in his fight against Martial Ghost Divine Emperor. The people before him had already done their utmost. As for how far they could walk, it would depend on him and Grai.
Similarly, to Gui Hao, meeting Tianjing in the quarterfinals was exactly what he wanted. He did not want to let this treasure of experience to land in the hands of others. This was especially so after defeating Wang Zhong and suppressing Wang Zhong. This would allow Gui Hao to gain a psychological advantage over Carolyn.
The relationship between him and Carolyn was one of competition and gambling. Different from the pursuits of other men and women, they were involved in too many things, causing both of them to have restraining fear towards each other. However, both of them wanted to cooperate with each other. If Martial Ghost Divine Emperor and the Stuart Family were able to form a marriage alliance, they would be able to become the strongest family in the Federation. If they developed well, they would be able to unify the entire Federation!
This was what Gui Hao wanted. Not only did he have to face the interference and destruction of the other families, he also had to conquer Carolyn. From the big picture, if he was able to conquer Carolyn, he would be able to achieve at least half of his plan. The entire family would revolve around him, and everything would be for him.
Although this might be pressuring for others, with Gui Hao's character, such challenges were something that he loved.
Naturally, he wasn't any ordinary man. He knew that sending flowers and other romantic things was completely meaningless to Carolyn, as psychological warfare was extremely important.
The better Wang Zhong's performance was, the more openings he would leave in Carolyn's heart, which he would then be able to make good use of.
Therefore, the match between Martial Ghost Divine Emperor and Tianjing was obtained through the use of his family's strength.
As for the match between Stuart Family and Giant God Peak, it was another match of compromise.
He really wanted to know if Tianjing would despair upon knowing that they were their opponent. Or would they want to make a comeback like they did in the past?
This feeling was extremely comfortable, and also extremely miraculous. It was precisely because of their strength that there was no need for them to worry, as long as they enjoyed the process.
"Captain, Zhao Zimo's here. Do you want to see him?" said Gui Wulie as he walked in.
Gui Hao rapped his knuckles on the table. The Zhao Family … wanted to borrow the strength of the Gui Family to rise up, while the Gui Family also wanted to use the Zhao Family as a chess piece. Both sides were making use of each other. However, the Zhao Family's performance this time was too poor, and had actually been eliminated by Tianjing, not being able to enter the top 8. This situation was extremely disadvantageous to both the Zhao Family and Zhao Zimo, especially with Zhao Yilong being seriously injured, with seemingly no possibility of recovery. Using a Divine Weapon without even entering the Heroic Soul Stage was simply too childish.
Weapons were, in the end, external objects. How could one grow if they were overly reliant on them? This was also the reason why the Zhao Family was so much weaker than the Mo Family.
"Let him come in." Gui Hao decided to give Zhao Zimo a chance. Frankly speaking, Zhao Zimo had not done his job well during this period of time. Although he had chosen to cooperate with the Zhao Family, he did not have to choose Zhao Zimo.
Zhao Zimo walked in. Unlike his usual calm demeanor, an exceedingly humble expression appeared on his face.
"Brother Hao …" Just as Zhao Zimo opened his mouth, he was rudely interrupted by Gui Hao.
"Cut the crap. Give me a reason to use you," said Gui Hao in an indifferent tone. Although the members of the aristocratic families were glorious outside, the internal competition was even more intense. There were times when the greatest enemy wasn't external, but internal.
Zhao Zimo's reputation wasn't good. This time, Zhao Yilong might have fallen into a crisis because of him. Therefore, Gui Hao didn't care whether or not he used such a despicable person.
The pressure that Gui Hao gave Zhao Zimo was extremely great. Being an ordinary person, Zhao Zimo was already feeling slightly exhausted. However, he knew that he only had one chance.
His entire plan required a powerful external helper. If not, he only had a 40% chance of victory within the family. Once he failed, he would become the biggest scapegoat for this CHF. Zhao Yilong was already done for, and he couldn't bear it anymore. The scapegoat had to be carried by someone alive, and Zhao Zimo was very likely to be that person.
Zhao Zimo looked towards Gui Hao. In the next second, he knelt down without the slightest bit of hesitation. "Master Hao, give me a chance. I'm your man!"
Gui Hao looked towards Zhao Zimo with a grin. On the surface, he didn't appear to be surprised. Nevertheless, there was still some astonishment in his heart. He was just trying to take advantage of Zhao Zimo, but never did he expect that Zhao Zimo's moral integrity was far lower than he had imagined. With his acknowledgement and help, the Zhao Family would lean towards him when it came time to deal with Zhao Zimo. In fact, it could even allow him to completely turn the situation around.
Gui Hao gently rapped the table, while Zhao Zimo, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't move a single inch. He didn't say anything, as his actions had already explained everything.
"Zimo, what are you doing? Hurry up and get up. We're all friends here, so you can say whatever you want." Gui Hao smiled as he raised his hand.
"Master Hao, I'm sincere. In the current Federation, only Master Hao can complete the unification. I, Zimo, am not talented, but I'm willing to follow you and do the odd jobs." Zhao Zimo didn't get up. He wasn't a fool to be able to get to where he was today. If he really got up, then he wouldn't have any sincerity left.
Gui Hao smiled. "Tell me about your plan."
Zhao Zimo lowered his head, a glint flashing across his eyes as he told Gui Hao about his plan. Even Gui Hao felt that this fellow was a little too ruthless. He had even schemed against his own brother. Not only did he want his brother's life, he wanted to strip him of his talent and walk to the front.
Clearly, this fellow didn't care about the interests of his family as much as his own. Such a despicable person would still be of help to him. If Zhao Zimo's plan succeeded, then he would have another lackey. With Zhao Zimo's support, it would be easier for him to walk to the position of God. In a situation where the 10 Great Families were all very arrogant, this might be a breakthrough point.
Most importantly, Zhao Zimo telling Gui Hao all of his plans was equivalent to handing his life into Gui Hao's hands. If not, the Zhao Family would make his life a living hell if not for him.
"Actually, I feel that with you, the Zhao Family will develop even better. Get up. As long as you perform well, I'll give you another blessing after this CHF!"
This time, Zhao Zimo didn't decline. He respectfully stood up. As long as one knelt down once, one would feel nothing.
"Master Hao, you're talking about the one in the hyperdimension, right? Wasn't it taken by the Parliament?"
"Haha. Just because they took it doesn't mean that they can make the decisions. There are many things that are just negotiations. However, before that, you have to finish what you need to do."
"I've already prepared everything. As long as Master Hao is willing to support me, I have a 99% chance of success." said Zhao Zimo.
Gui Hao nodded his head. Zhao Zimo gave a humble smile and said, "Master Hao, there's still some time left. Do you want me to find trouble and start from the periphery of Tianjing? Barran's parents and Hymin's parents are both ordinary people, while the two of them have very good relations within Tianjing …"
Zhao Zimo's right hand gently cut downwards. Clearly, there were still some problems with Scarlet and Milami's identities. If he wasn't careful, the Parliament would be able to use them against him. Colby and the rest were useless, as they were drifting about outside. However, Barran and Hymin were different.
Gui Hao stared coldly at Zhao Zimo, causing him to have a dumbfounded expression.
"Does my Gui Family need to use such tricks? Don't act on your own! I can let you live, but I can also let you die!"
Zhao Zimo shivered. "Master Hao, I was wrong. My direction was wrong. That's why I thirst for power. I also feel that I'm unable to understand the feelings of experts. Their horizons are too narrow."
Gui Hao's expression turned slightly warmer as he nodded his head. Lowering his head, a sliver of pity flashed across Zhao Zimo's eyes. He didn't know if this bastard really cared about his face, or if he had seen through him. If Gui Hao had really agreed, that would be equivalent to letting Gui Hao enter into his plans. Naturally, he would also be able to grasp more of his secrets.
After all, he wasn't a nameless nobody. Once he stabilized his position in the Zhao Family, all of these matters would become his strength.
Looking at Zhao Zimo's humble figure, an arc rose at the corner of Gui Hao's mouth. Could such a person be trusted?
Of course not. He had never believed in such a person. However, this was an extremely important matter for the Gui Family. A person who only cared about benefits would be much easier to control.
As for that suggestion, it was pretty good. However, it was a pity that it could be used at any time, except for the upcoming battle with the Gui Family.
A petty person would always be a petty person. Their horizons were too narrow.
As for Wang Zhong … he was really looking forward to it. He definitely had to personally deal with this opponent of his!
In the Tianjing training room, Wang Zhong gave a sneeze. Although he and Grai had taken a look at their opponents, they did not do much research on them. Clearly, both of them had their own opinions. What's more, it was still hard to say who they would be matched up against. As for the information provided, with the current situation of the CHF, it was basically impossible for them to enter the quarterfinals.
Barran had worked very hard, and had awakened his Gravity attribute special ability. He wanted to take on a greater responsibility and contribute to the quarterfinals. With the support of the official healers, as well as Hymin's meticulous care, Barran had recovered extremely quickly. He would definitely have the strength to fight in the quarterfinals. Therefore, the atmosphere in Tianjing was still extremely good.
Other than Ma Dong, everyone had switched off their Skylinks. Truthfully speaking, the news from the outside world was of no use, and could only affect their mental state. What Tianjing needed to do was to focus.
Giant God Peak squadron.
Dicaprio had just started a speech, fiercely rousing the emotions of his squadron members. Without a doubt, their match against Stuart would be the only tough fight they would face in this CHF. Under the protection of the Parliament's influence, their journey had been extremely easy. Naturally, they definitely possessed the strength to do so.
Giant God Peak was a great killing weapon that the Parliament had spent a very long time selecting talented youths from various cities to nurture. Even the smallest of cities had the possibility of giving birth to a genius. The crux was whether or not they could be discovered. For the sake of realizing this opportunity, the Parliament had spent a lot of resources, unearthing over a thousand people from the various great cities of the Federation. In the end, they were eliminated to form this squadron. Every single member had unique talent, and was only able to stay after undergoing training.
Everything they had invested would be completely displayed in the match against Stuart. The Parliament had also placed high hopes on them.
Ever since the start of the CHF, Dicaprio had not paid much attention to Tianjing. Frankly speaking, Tianjing had become an obstacle for them. However, Tianjing would stop here. Indeed, Wang Zhong was an extremely interesting fellow. However, the discussion of Wang Zhong being the representative of the new generation within the Federation's academies still made Dicaprio feel somewhat uncomfortable. After all, he had invested more, and shouldered more.
Only by winning would the ordinary students of the Federation be able to stand out. Only then would they be able to break the monopoly of the 10 Great Families, and truly have a future!
What was Wang Zhong? At the very most, he was just a disruptor.
Looking at the vast view outside, Dicaprio pushed up his spectacles. His future was extremely vast, and there was no need to look down. He would become another epoch-making figure of the Federation, breaking the monopoly of the 10 Great Families, and leading the Federation towards greater democracy and freedom!
One day, there would definitely be a statue of him at the gates of the Federation's parliament!
