"Could he be an outstanding assassin like Emily? With his age and the strict requirements that the Assassin Family have for their disciples, I feel that this Ma Dong might be the other trump card of Tianjing! "
"That's possible!" Ruo Zhi nodded his head. "Just look at the calm and composed expression on his face when he walked up to the stage, and you'll know that he has a clear idea of what's going on. Faced against the mainstay soldier of Martial Ghost Divine Emperor, he didn't show the slightest bit of fear or worry. Only when a person possesses sufficient confidence would he be able to do so!"
Ruo Zhi's earnest analysis nearly caused the Tianjing preparatory area, as well as the Tianjing Academy students thousands of miles away, to burst their bellies in laughter. All of them were extremely clear about Ma Dong's background. Before the CHF, Ma Dong had become a celebrity within the academy.
"Great Marshal Ma has walked up to the stage!"
"Careless, right? Hahaha! Brother, please open your eyes! Our school's mascot has graced the stage! "
"There's really no one else who can act like this president! Ignorance is bliss! "
On the stage, Rassen's expression gradually turned solemn as he secretly raised his guard. He wasn't able to feel a sliver of threat from this calm and composed opponent.
However, the lack of threat was the greatest threat!
Like Mo Wen, Wang Zhong, Grai … concealing one's strength was a skill that wasn't something that any random so-called expert could achieve! It was extremely easy to see through such deliberate disguises. However, this Ma Dong …
He couldn't see through him, nor could he see through him!
Frankly speaking, it was an extremely easy task for Martial Ghost Divine Emperor to obtain information on Ma Dong. However, before the start of today's match, who would have guessed that their leader would suddenly appear as a mainstay? From the start, Martial Ghost Divine Emperor had basically not done any detailed research on Ma Dong's strength.
However, it was different from Rassen's point of view. Faced against a fellow that didn't even have any detailed information on his family, it would definitely be a lie if he said that he didn't feel the slightest bit of dread.
Perhaps, this might be a considerably difficult fight … however, no matter what, he had to obtain victory!
Taking a deep breath, Rassen cautiously raised his runic sword before his chest.
Match start!
However, before Rassen could rush forward, his opponent opened his mouth.
"Hello." Ma Dong's voice was rather calm, without the slightest bit of hostility. It was as if he was a senior preparing to ask a junior something.
Rassen's expression turned slightly stiff, as he didn't know whether to reply or not to reply. He wanted to rush up and fight, but the unfathomable and unfathomable performance of his opponent had caused him to feel some fear. However, a moment of melancholy had caused him to be unable to take that first step forward. Instead, he looked at Ma Dong with vigilance, intending to listen to what he had to say.
However, President Ma's next sentence caused everyone to vomit blood.
"I've greeted him." With a faint smile, Ma Dong replied, "Then, goodbye. Hi, referee. I didn't sleep well last night, so I admit defeat."
Admit defeat?
Rason was a little dumbfounded. It wasn't just him. The countless cheering and expectant audience members were also a little dumbfounded. The fiery atmosphere quickly cooled down.
What does that mean?
"What do you mean? Is it hard to understand? On paper, admit defeat! " President Ma elegantly turned around. Without thinking, he directly jumped out of the arena. When he came up, he had been standing at the edge of the arena. He was afraid that his two legs wouldn't be fast enough. He only needed to take one step to get out of the arena.
Admit, admit defeat? He even recognized it as a matter of course! This, this, isn't this too shameless?!
Shameless? Shameless my ass! This is called a strategy!
President Ma had returned victorious, concealing his achievements and fame in front of the demonic claws of Milami, who was on the verge of tears from laughing.
Countless people in the arena had their mouths agape. In the blink of an eye, the anticipation they had for this newcomer had turned into deathly silence, before turning into roaring laughter.
Frankly speaking, if this had happened to any other squadron, there would definitely be no lack of curses and curses. Even for Tianjing, if not for Wang Zhong and Grai's earlier performance and victory, Ma Dong would have been cursed like a dog by people.
However, at this very moment, all the audience could feel was a sense of humour and happiness. Tianjing had indeed fought all the way to the very end. Even their captain, Ma Dong, had come up to make up the numbers, causing this victory to be even more precious.
"This … I had assumed it to be a hidden BOSS. In the end, it's just a fucking clown! Seeing how flashy he's dressed, I thought he'd be the same as Napier Mo. What kind of character is he! "
"Ha! He's actually someone from the assassin family, Assassin! Is he here to embarrass them?"
"Moral integrity! Where's your moral integrity?"
"This is our great Tianjing! We never walk the normal path!"
Pomo was about to cry from laughing. "I never imagined that there would actually be a fellow in this world that's even more shameless and thick-skinned than Noriba! He's the ancestor of clowns!"
"You're the clown! Your entire family is a clown! " Noriba could not help but roll his eyes as he retaliated. This fellow was just here to show off. He could just admit defeat and leave the stage. Why did he have to come up and cause trouble? The faces of the Gui Family had already turned jet black. Not only had they lost, they had even been pushed into a corner. That idiot Rassen didn't even have that bit of judgement. He should've just come up and beat that fellow half to death.
At this moment, a thousand miles away, there was someone raging with rage. It was Ma Dong's 5th uncle. Asuma seemed to be roaring as he said, "What kind of nonsense is this! Everyone knows that he's a member of our Assassin Family! Is he purposely bringing shame to our family! If it's just an exchange, why not let someone else go up? Exactly what is he trying to do! "
Due to their loss in Tianjing, his nephew Teslan had been completely banished to the cold palace by the old master. Not only had he lost his benefits, he had also lost his prestige and weight within the family. Although Asuma was congratulating the family for their rapid rise, it would be absolute nonsense to say that he didn't have any enmity towards Ma Dong. Now that he had seized the opportunity, how could he not give a good scolding?
Frankly speaking, Asuma's roars weren't without reason. Indeed, Ma Dong's actions had brought shame to the Assassin Family. If he was just an outer disciple, it could be said that he had no relations with the family. However, at this moment, he was in control of at least half of the decision-making power for the development of the new city. Being in such a high position, his words and actions represented the entire Assassin Family. Regardless of whether they were purely against such actions, or were envious of them, quite a few elders had voiced their support.
However, Tumo Assassin merely pressed his hand down gently, before saying in an indifferent tone, "If you're able to get your hands on the Golden Stone Slab, if you're able to get your hands on the development of the new city in Tianjing from Stuart's hands, if you're able to get acquainted with an expert like the Fate Master, then you guys can do whatever you want outside. I'll be responsible for cleaning up after you guys."
With a faint smile, he swept his gaze across everyone, before finally resting his gaze on Asuma. "However, if you guys can't do it, then you better watch your mouths. The Assassin Family only needs a single voice and absolute unity. Looks like the family rules haven't been changed for a long time, causing all of you to forget about them!"
His indifferent words caused the entire stadium to turn silent out of fear. Beads of sweat appeared on Asuma's forehead as he lowered his head in a submissive manner, while a flash of jealousy and fury flashed across his eyes!
Tumo did not pay any attention to those people, as his gaze was focused on the indifferent figure in the Skylink video feed. It appeared as though he wasn't too satisfied with the victory of this duel. Was this an ordinary youth from Tianjing?
To the Assassin Family, they didn't want to be an assassin family for the rest of their lives, mingling around in the world of darkness, and never being able to stand out. If they wanted to stand out, they needed an absolute expert to back them up. However, those super experts wouldn't have any interest in a "small family" like them, as they were basically monopolized by the 10 Great Families. Either that, or they would become general-level existences within the Federation. Wang Zhong might be able to give his family an opportunity, and all of this was pinned on Ma Dong. That's because the only advantage they had over the other aristocratic families was their relationship and trust. The more experienced and ruthless a person was, the more clear they would be that playing tricks in front of an expert was no different from courting death. If there were people in the family who didn't know what was good for them, he wasn't afraid of cleaning up the family.
The outcome of the duel had already been decided. The 2: 2 score had already determined the start of the group battle. The 5th duel was no longer important.
If it was any other squadron, they might have to give it their all for the sake of displaying their tenacity and face for their squadron. However, Tianjing was Tianjing, and they wouldn't do anything meaningless. There were some matches that Wang Zhong clearly knew would be a loss, and wouldn't affect the overall situation, yet he still sent people up. This was because Wang Zhong had assessed the risks involved, as well as considered the purpose of training his squadron members. However, there was truly no need for Colby and Ma Dong to put their lives on the line.
At the start of the 5th duel, faced against Martial Ghost Divine Emperor's mainstay ranged soldier, Colby had straightforwardly admitted defeat. That's because he could truly feel the dense killing intent radiating from his opponent. If he wanted to drag for even a little bit of time, even if he didn't die, he would still be heavily injured. There was no need to doubt the ruthlessness of the Gui Family. After Gui Hao's defeat, the Gui Family had already turned irritable.
Despite admitting defeat for 2 consecutive duels, not only did they not attract any curses from the fans, a wave of praises rang out instead. Frankly speaking, this was the charm of brother King. To his true fans, even a fart from brother King would be fragrant. Regardless of what decision he made, they would support him unconditionally. Furthermore, reality had proven that Wang Zhong's decisions were basically not wrong.
The score was fixed at 3: 2. Although Martial Ghost Divine Emperor had the advantage of a small point, the fans in the stadium, as well as the entire squadron, all of them had dark clouds hanging over their heads, with solemn expressions present on their faces, as though they had lost.
Gui Hao had already woken up. However, he appeared as weak as if his body had been hollowed out, while his eyes were filled with emptiness.
From the moment he was born till now, this was the first time Gui Hao had suffered such a setback. In the past, regardless of the occasion or place, he had always been an existence akin to a king that people would look up to. Only he had the right to trample on others. However, today, he had been the one being completely trampled on.
His martial prowess, dignity, pride and even his body had already been trampled to a pitiful degree.
The flames of fury blazed within him. However, it appeared as though he had lost the oxygen needed for his flames to survive, causing him to be in a half-burnt state of torment.
Gui Hao's mind had turned completely blank, as though he had lost his soul.
As the buzzing sounds of discussion filled the entire stadium, the majority of the squadrons already had a clear understanding and judgement of the upcoming group battle. This was especially true for Stuart, Vasilyevich and the Heaven's Fate Academy, who had a rather good understanding of Gui Hao.
That fellow was too arrogant and conceited. He had never encountered such a setback before. Wang Zhong's suppression, as well as the final humiliating fart. One could imagine how hard it would be for Gui Hao to stand up. Not only was it due to his injuries and the state of his body, the most important factor was that his inner world had definitely collapsed.
Coupled with the collapse of Gui Wulie, Martial Ghost Divine Emperor would be facing Gui Xinying with 2 substitutes and 2 mainstays to deal with Wang Zhong and Grai.
Did they have any chance of victory? Naturally, it wasn't absolutely impossible.
Firstly, Tianjing's Scarlet and Emily were similarly unable to step onto the stage. Other than Wang Zhong and Grai, there wasn't anyone else that could pose a threat to them.
Furthermore, the Gui Family was extremely proficient in small group battles. If they were able to arrange a formation, they might be able to entangle Wang Zhong, allowing Gui Xinying to free herself up. With the strength of Gui Xinying's ten great soldiers, it wasn't impossible for her to eliminate Grai in a duel. After all, the combat techniques that Gui Xinying had displayed were truly godly. After Gui Hao's duel, everyone had understood a principle. Gorgeous and exaggerated moves were just performances, while a good combat technique was able to deal a fatal blow.
However, this was only an extremely ideal situation. In reality, with Wang Zhong and Grai's level of skill, it would be extremely difficult to separate the 2 of them on the battlefield! What's more, what if Wang Zhong used his cross wheels? Would the Gui Family's substitutes and quasi-masters still have the chance to entangle him?
It felt like the Gui Family was really going to kneel this time!
The ominous premonition and the terrible situation they were in caused the Martial Ghost Divine Emperor fan section to be filled with a pessimistic atmosphere. Unlike the imposing appearance they had displayed when they had just entered the stadium, the Martial Ghost Divine Emperor fans were no longer able to muster up the energy to cheer for Tianjing. Thinking back to the process of Tianjing's journey to this stage, their hearts turned cold. Although they didn't have the numerical advantage, the combined combat prowess of Wang Zhong and Grai was truly not something they could compare to. The Gui Family's only hope was for Gui Xinying's terrifying Dimensional Spiritual Soul combat techniques to turn the tables. However, thinking back to Wang Zhong and Grai's individual combat prowess, that was only a theoretical possibility.
Time ticked by, causing the Gui Family and their supporters to feel extremely tormented. Compared to them, the Tianjing supporters were more calm and filled with anticipation. It was rare for Wang Zhong and Grai to maintain such a good condition. Naturally, it was extremely important to rest before the group battle, especially for Wang Zhong. Grai should have more or less rested by now. However, he had just engaged in a fierce battle with Gui Hao, as well as summoning that mysterious dimensional beast. All of these might have placed a considerable burden on his body. However, everyone believed that with the tenacity of All Mouthy King, he wouldn't have too much of an impact on the group battle!
Finally, under the anticipation of the masses, the group battle was about to begin. Of the Gui Family's lineup, the half-dead Gui Hao was unexpectedly walking at the front, appearing to have fully recovered. Regardless of anything, this gave the Gui Family supporters sufficient confidence and caused the entire stadium to cheer for them. Regardless of what methods were used, the addition of Gui Hao would completely change the flavor of the group battle!
Gui Hao, who was still in a dazed and listless state when he left the stage, appeared to have recovered some of his previous elegance.
His dark and ice-cold expression was filled with fury and killing intent, while Gui Xinying, Rassen, mainstay ranged soldier Wilmona, as well as the substitute assassin Gui Eighteen, followed closely behind him.
