Not only was Dicaprio brimming with confidence, his squadron members were also brimming with confidence. Their confidence stemmed from their continuous hard work. Furthermore, they had never stopped obtaining information about the 10 great families. Stuart had only found out about them during this period of time, while they had already treated Stuart and Martial Ghost Divine Emperor as opponents since a few years ago. Know thyself and thy enemy, and you will never be defeated!
Even if the outside world was optimistic about Stuart, they definitely wouldn't have stage fright in their hearts. On the contrary, they were filled with anticipation. From the very beginning, their goal had been to topple Stuart and Martial Ghost Divine Emperor. It was only a matter of which came first.
Unlike Tianjing and Giant God Peak, the other squadrons were more relaxed in their preparations for this CHF. The Mo Family continued to follow their usual routine, with Napier Mo continuing to joke around.
Stuart's training was the same as usual, with nothing special happening. Carolyn didn't mobilize anything, as there was basically no need for her to do so.
Grozny's internal training was still as fiery as ever. Noriba and Pomo were currently arm-wrestling under the cheers of the crowd. The northern regions had a heroic style. Naturally, it was strange. Compared to a bunch of muscular men, Vladimir's icy cold style was the complete opposite. However, it didn't seem out of place here.
Perhaps, cold and hot were the greatest characteristics of the northern regions.
Laura truly never imagined that her squadron would be able to fight their way into the top 8. The competition in this CHF was truly too intense. From the very beginning, Copperfield had been extremely humble. In fact, there were even quite a few A ranked squadrons that were clamouring to drag Copperfield down. However, they were all done for, while Copperfield was still standing.
Naturally, the family's Karkel was the absolute killing machine, which everyone was extremely convinced of. Karkel didn't speak much, and was very modest. However, he didn't interact much with others, and only followed Laura's arrangements.
He had always been outside. Although they were of similar ages, their life experiences were completely different, and they felt as though they weren't living in the same world. In fact, Karkel was extremely envious of Arnold, Anlor and the rest's noisiness, as these were luxuries that he couldn't even imagine in his world.
Although he didn't speak much during this period of time, his attitude had also changed. From casually completing missions at the beginning, to now, he really wanted to do something for this squadron.
Laura's strength … was average. However, she was an extremely good captain, and loved to cause trouble. She was filled with the vitality of youth, and didn't have the temper of a great family's successor. Furthermore, she was extremely respectful towards him, and was the same type of person as her brother.
This world wasn't suitable for him. However, that didn't stop him from doing something.
The Thunder Emperor … perhaps others might fear him, but to him, everyone was the same.
For Divian, the fact that Seer was going up against Heaven's Fate wasn't good news. Frankly speaking, anyone would be better off than the Mo Family. However, they just had to bump into them.
There was no other way about it, as too many things were involved in the quarterfinals, and the Seer Family did not have much of a say in this matter.
However, regardless of who it was that wanted to defeat Seer, there wouldn't be that much glory. This was the fourth time that the Seer Family and the Mo Family had crossed hands in a major competition, with the previous three times ending in defeat.
However, this year, the Seer Family was definitely the strongest! She, Jormungar, and the hidden Karl! Karl was the real killing machine! Things couldn't be done more than three times! This was the chance for the Seer Family to wash away their previous humiliation!
On the eve of the quarterfinals, the eight strongest teams from the Federation already had a clear goal and state of mind.
Carolyn, Gui Hao, Mo Wen, Vladimir, Wang Zhong, Dicaprio, Divian and Laura. The 8 great captains of the CHF were currently walking the path of heroes!
Seven days later, at 7 pm, the quarterfinals would begin. The venue would be the Stuart Dimensional Arena, the most famous arena in the Federation!
That's right, only the Stuart Empire would dare to use such a domineering name. Ever since mankind had walked out of the dark era, especially with the rapid development of the Federation over the past few years, the 3 great empires had naturally played a huge role in this. The main 100 cities of the Federation were also doing extremely well economically. In this era, the main form of entertainment was combat. There were regular competitions, as well as underground competitions. The largest arena under the light of the Federation was the Stuart Empire's Dimensional Arena. Not only had the CHF been held here, only the finals of the CHF had the qualifications to be held here. This time, it had expanded to include the semifinals, which was an unprecedented event in history. One had to know that this was the place where the Heroic Soul Stage soldiers of the Federation were held, as well as the duels between legendary soldiers.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what we're looking at now is the temple of warriors — Stuart's Dimensional Arena Stadium!" Chen Yu 'er shouted out in an extremely excited manner. This was also the first time she had sat in the Dimensional Arena Stadium's live broadcast booth.
On the first day of the quarterfinals, the arena was officially opened, allowing the people of the world to see what was called shock and awe.
The oval shaped building occupied a total area of 20 hectares, with a construction area of an astonishing 200,000 square metres. The eaves were 90 metres tall, a height that exceeded the walls of life in many large cities! It was 330 metres long from east to west, and 302 metres from north to south. There were 3 bowl-shaped viewing platforms within, with the capacity to hold 100,000 people. This was just the standard seating arrangement within the building. If one were to consider the standing viewing platforms, staff and other personnel, the total capacity would reach an astonishing 150,000 to 200,000 people!
From the overall appearance of the building, there were numerous gigantic square-shaped steel plates densely packed together, stacking on top of one another. The stacked space appeared just like the concept of different dimensions, brimming with a hard sci-fi sense of déjà vu. That was the reason why it had such a domineering name — Dimensional Arena!
Without a doubt, the field of architecture had always been the pride of mankind. Being the symbol and symbol of Stuart, this arena was the embodiment of too much honour and glory. Even the people of the Federation would feel shocked upon seeing it, what more the citizens of the empires, who were staring wide-eyed and drooling. They were simply unable to imagine how such a building was formed!
It was as though they were living in 2 different spaces. It had to be said that the prosperity and power of the Federation had a further impact on the audience from the empires. Frankly speaking, they did not like the style of the competition at all. That's because the fights in the empires were much more bloody, with basically no rules to speak of. The loser was the slave of the winner, unlike the Federation. Nevertheless, everything here caused people to yearn for it. It could be said that after this CHF, the Tutankhamun Empire would start another wave of immigration.
"Survival and living are 2 different concepts. All living creatures are working hard for the former. Only those who stand at the top of the food chain, as the rulers, have the qualifications to talk about the latter! Being the centre of the Earth, and the continuation and convergence of human civilisation, the Federation has always shouldered the legacy and dreams of mankind. In the past, we had to struggle bitterly for the sake of survival, with every single one of us in a precarious situation. Where did we find the energy to build such a building? Now, we've finally taken this step! This is a symbolic transformation! " Ruo Zhi's Skylink was rather emotional, his voice impassioned. Some of his lines were required by the government, while some were his own. "That's right. In the eyes of some people, it might just be a building, just that it's a little bigger. However, in the eyes of every single human with dreams and pursuits, it's a unique symbol!"
"I suddenly feel that I'm a member of the Federation! I'm bursting with pride!"
"Boohoohoo! I really want to go to the stadium! Mummy won't let me! I beg the tycoon to sponsor me with 2,000 yuan for the bus fare! "
"Forget it! 2,000 yuan is just enough for you to get there. After that, you can just eat dirt over there and not go back."
"Don't be afraid, baby! The Federation won't let me starve to death!"
"The refugee camp has been blocked."
"The citizens of the empires have expressed that they're still living in an abyss of suffering! Those who want to live, please conduct yourselves with dignity! "
"The citizens of Tutankhamun send their congratulations, requesting for a smuggling route!"
The Skylink instantly exploded with activity. The quarterfinals had finally arrived, and the feeling was completely different.
"Just a moment ago, the backstage has sent out some data. The number of people watching the live broadcast through the Skylink has reached a new high! Before the start of the competition, it has already reached an astonishing 16 million! Furthermore, it's still growing! The signals from the other continents are also increasing!"
"That's right! Be it the Federation or the various great empires far away, the eyes of the entire world have seemingly gathered here! There are close to 200,000 people in the stadium! This is the first match of the quarterfinals of the CHF, Heaven's Fate VS Seer! The outcome of this match will determine the birth of the first semifinalist squadron of this CHF! "Chen Yu 'er pulled back the topic.
The Skylink and the big screens in the stadium continued to switch, with the crowd in the stadium appearing extremely berserk. Clearly, the Stuart City audience had already gotten used to such a huge spectacle. This was also the pride of the citizens of the number one city in the Federation. At the same time, a large number of people had already gathered in the public square outside the stadium. Although they were unable to enter the stadium, they were able to experience the competition along with the rest of the audience.
Just at this moment, the main lights of the stadium dimmed, before a 3D image appeared on the left side of the stadium.
It was a frightening dimensional life form with the height of a dozen storeys. It was currently wreaking havoc within the ruins of a city, massacring the innocent.
Be it the Federation or the empires, this was an exceedingly common sight. As of now, the Federation possessed an even more complete system of spatial node detection, allowing them to prevent the majority of spatial cracks in advance. On the side of the empires, even the most advanced Kaiser Empire was utterly unable to possess such technology. Therefore, the sudden descent of dimensional life forms wreaking havoc in human gathering grounds was a common occurrence.
Upon the appearance of the image, it immediately attracted the attention of many people. In the next instant, a spectre-like figure flashed across the screen, appearing over a hundred metres away from the dimensional life form. However, in the blink of an eye, the figure had already rushed to its side. A dagger sparkling with a chilling glint sliced into the neck of the massive dimensional life form, before being pulled down vertically. A gigantic wound had appeared on its body, causing its skin and flesh to split open!
Feeling both pain and fury, the dimensional life form sent its gigantic claws furiously swiping out. However, they were easily evaded by Napier Mo. Immediately after, Mo Ling appeared on the screen, with the illusory form of a majestic eagle sparkling behind him. Spreading his wide wings, he soared through the air, rushing towards the head of the dimensional life form. In the next instant, the illusory form behind him changed, transforming into a malevolent and ferocious bear as it descended from the sky!
The heavy attacks instantly caused the dimensional life form to stagger, causing it to trample countless buildings.
Furious, the dimensional life form unleashed a loud roar, causing terrifying sound waves visible to the naked eye to ripple out in all directions! Just like an ultrasonic wave, the originally dilapidated buildings were easily shattered by the sound waves, before turning into ashes!
However, at this moment, a heavy shield had appeared!
Mo Chen!
All of the muscles on his body bulged, while surging Soul Power poured into the wide runic shield. Countless runes sparkled with brilliance, while Soul Power rippled out, materializing from the void. Extending out from the runic shield, it transformed into a gigantic 3-metre tall and 3-metre wide transparent shield, forcefully blocking all of the incoming attacks!
At the same time, the squadron members behind him unleashed their full firepower!
That was the Heaven's Fate squadron's mainstay ranged soldier, Mo Shang. In his hand was a strange weapon that no one had seen before. Appearing to be a ranged weapon, he poured his Soul Power into it, causing a dazzling golden runic array to appear. Rumble rumble rumble …
Berserk Soul Power cannons rumbled out like a tidal wave, unleashing a power that could topple mountains and overturn the seas. Most importantly, Mo Shang had a calm expression on his face.
This time, the dimensional life form had truly gone berserk. Unexpectedly, it used a single hand to block the dense barrage of bullets as it charged forward! It wanted to trample this group of ants into pieces!
However, just as it was about to charge forward, a god-like figure appeared out of thin air before it. His upper body was bare, while his muscles weren't that big. However, the perfect outline of his muscles was basically comparable to that of the popular All Mouthy King!
With his body facing the gigantic dimensional life form, the exaggerated size of the 2 of them made him appear like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
With a bright red runic eye-patch covering his eyes, he maintained a calm and indifferent expression on his face as he extended his hand in a steady manner.
A circular brilliance blossomed furiously from his body.
Bang!
The gigantic life form that had already charged forward, towering over a dozen metres in height, was actually easily blocked by a single hand of his! Its gigantic body trembled violently from the impact, causing dizziness to fill its head, while its legs were lifted off the ground by the impact! Despite this, the figure with a bare upper body did not move a single inch!
In the next instant, with a slight bow, his body suddenly shot forward like a rocket, before sending a heavy palm smashing against the chin of the gigantic life form.
Bang!
The terrifying gigantic life form was unexpectedly sent flying, before its body dissipated into nothingness!
The 3D projection disappeared, before the entire arena returned to darkness!
A few seconds later, battle cries rang out, before a 3D projection slowly appeared. Wave after wave of mutated beasts were smashing against the towering life wall, while countless Federation soldiers were fighting a bloody battle atop the city wall.
The battle had reached a critical juncture. Small yet nimble wolf-type mutated beasts had already trampled over the corpses of their comrades and climbed up the city wall. Tearing at the bodies of the ordinary soldiers, they tore a hole in the defensive line!
Just at this moment, a wave of berserk flames ignited in the air, covering the entire screen! As the flames burned, motorcycles, weapons, steel, and even the mutated wolves that had rushed up the city wall started to burn and melt! However, this wasn't sufficient to stop the berserk wolf pack, as they continued to advance wave after wave. Just at this moment, a tall and big figure rushed out from the sea of flames. Appearing just like a frightening human tank, he instantly knocked over a large group of wolf beasts that had rushed up the city wall!
A gigantic red shield that seemed to merge with the flames. Behind the shield, the destructive heat wave that burned his body was like a gentle breeze caressing his body. His explosive muscles flickered with a luster that was hard to ignore in the flames.
"Roar!" With a loud roar, he had unexpectedly intimidated the berserk wolf pack, causing them to not dare to take a single step forward. He was just like the king of beasts!
Jormungar!
