Gui Xinying did not bring up the Gui Family, nor would she look back. People who could not face defeat head-on would never be able to become experts. The topic was shifted to Tianjing's opponents, the Grozny squadron. Similar to Laura's view of Vladimir, Gui Xinying felt that the Ice Prince of the North was equally frightening, and might even be more difficult to deal with than Mo Wen.
With the intelligence and ambitions of the Gui Family, Gui Xinying clearly had a greater understanding of Vladimir. "In the fight against Laura, Vladimir was most likely unable to use any of his strength at all. Among the special abilities of our generation, the one with the greatest might in the Casted Soul Stage is Vladimir. Ice and fire are two common special abilities. However, their might can't be compared to each other once they are divinized. At the very least, he was able to extinguish those hellish flames with ease."
Wang Zhong had never underestimated his opponents. However, Vladimir might not give him any chance to display his abilities.
"Do you have any countermeasures?" Gui Xinying discovered that she had become exceedingly open in front of Wang Zhong, and was even more talkative than usual. A large part of the reason for this was due to Wang Zhong having defeated her. However, people like her were exceedingly prideful in their hearts.
Wang Zhong swirled his wine cup. This wine was indeed delicious, especially for a soldier's physique, which allowed him to absorb it easily. "We'll only know after we fight. I really want to see his ultimate ice attribute special ability."
Gui Xinying looked at Wang Zhong's expression, and knew that he had a plan in his heart. This included his fight with her, where Wang Zhong had always been holding back. This meant that Wang Zhong had sufficient confidence to deal with and turn the tables around. Before Wang Zhong, there was another person who frequently did this, and that was Mo Wen.
Truthfully speaking, after All Mouthy King's appearance, there were many people in the upper echelons who suspected that it was Mo Wen, as only Mo Wen was capable of such a feat. However, the problem was that with Mo Wen's character and the Mo Family's style, he would never do such a thing. Nevertheless, no one believed that such a powerful person existed.
However, Wang Zhong had appeared just like that.
"That's right, do you also have a spatial physique?" Gui Xinying asked. In fact, this was an extremely presumptuous question, but she was extremely calm when she asked it.
Wang Zhong smiled and shook his head. "I don't know what a spatial physique is, but I'm also extremely sensitive to dimensional energies. It's just that I'm lacking in combat techniques. I've gained a lot from this CHF, and learned a lot from you guys."
In an instant, Gui Xinying felt slightly unwell. Such a terrifying person was still thinking about learning from others all day long. Really …
"In the past, I thought that Mo Wen was the most frightening. Now, that fellow finally has another opponent. Naturally, the prerequisite is that you're able to get past Vladimir."
"Oh? Has Vladimir crossed hands with Mo Wen before?"
"Nope. However, both of them have the intention to have a duel. However, even if they were to cross hands, there might not be much of a difference in their comprehension, as both of them are walking different paths. Vladimir has walked the path of his special ability to the extreme, while Mo Wen has walked the path of a soldier to the extreme. Therefore, a duel between you and Mo Wen would definitely cause the greatest sparks to fly. Many people are looking forward to it."
Even Gui Xinying was unable to imagine what kind of showdown the two of them would create. Ever since the end of the dark era, there had never been 2 such heaven-bestowed geniuses in history. Furthermore, they were in the same era, with their ages not being too far apart.
Her understanding and yearning towards the martial dao had caused Gui Xinying's mood to turn much better. Making it simpler had allowed her to break free from many restraints. All of a sudden, she understood what she wanted. Since she wasn't willing to participate, why should she force herself to do so?
There would definitely be opportunities for her to do so.
Naturally, Gui Xinying wasn't able to represent the Gui Family. However, he was able to clearly distinguish between gratitude and grudges. As long as one lived in this world, one should really be able to settle gratitude and grudges as quickly as possible!
… … …
The 7 days of rest quietly passed by amidst various miscellaneous matters. Despite the earth-shattering commotion outside, the Tianjing squadron's villa remained calm and tranquil. Naturally, the same was true for the other 3 great squadrons. They had already reached the most critical juncture, and there was no need for them to follow the public opinion. Naturally, the public opinion would definitely explode. The CHF could be said to be the greatest occasion in the Federation, and was even more exaggerated than the Olympics in the radiant era. That's because the entertainment in this era wasn't as plentiful as it was in the past. What's more, it was mostly focused on the aristocrats.
Finally, the day of the semifinals had arrived. The first semifinal match, Heaven's Fate squadron VS Stuart!
It was the focus of the entire world!
The gazes of the entire Federation had converged onto this flourishing city. Ever since last night, the entire city had entered a state of carnival and sleepless. The promotional videos of the 4 great squadrons had already been broadcasted countless times on the streets. Even the least famous substitutes of the 4 squadrons had become stars that people were familiar with. Take Tianjing's Milami, Lily, Colby and the others for example. Although their combat strength and performances weren't that great, and they were basically unable to make it into the rankings in this CHF, they had borrowed the spring breeze of their squadrons to satisfy their celebrity addiction. Receiving honour and glory would similarly bring about various kinds of admiration. Clearly, their family members would receive various kinds of treatment from the city. This was also the rule of the Federation. There was no need to talk about Barran's parents. With Barran's potential, his citizen rank would immediately rise to the bottom. As for Hymin and her family, who were born and bred in Tianjing, they had truly become big stars. In fact, they even had some distant relatives.
The colourful lights that filled the streets of the city lit up, while various kinds of balloons with the logo of the 4 great squadrons or the CHF started to float in the air, causing the entire city to sink into a sea of balloons and lights.
The entire city was boiling with excitement, as various kinds of cameras could be seen everywhere within the city. Appearing as though they were celebrating a festival, people had already walked out onto the streets. Other than the railway tracks that were always clear, the streets, roads and other traffic had already sunk into a state of paralysis. Tens of thousands of large screens of all shapes and colours were flashing in every corner of the city, with only one image being broadcasted, the Stuart Dimensional Arena Stadium!
Looking down from the sky, the entire Dimensional Arena Stadium was already filled with a sea of people, both inside and outside of the stadium.
Zooming in from the wide angle, one would be able to see countless heavyweight figures seated in the VIP podium at the centre of the stadium!
The Federation Speaker, the heads of the various great families, the bigwigs of the Federation's Institute of Sciences, the high ranking officials of the Federation's military, generals … any one of them were figures that could shake the entire Federation with a stomp of their feet. However, at this moment, all of them were gathered in one place, whispering into each other's ears and chatting merrily with one another. This was unprecedented in the history of the CHF. Without talking about the CHF, it could even be said that none of the previous competitions in the Federation could compare to this!
Long Mei 'er and the other 4 great head judges were busy at the frontlines. Today, they would be personally judging this match, as they could not afford to have any problems in the semifinals. What's more, with so many big figures present before them, only those few people from the organising committee would not feel their legs turn to jelly.
Below the VIP podium, some of the seats were absolutely sparkling with stars.
There was no lack of high ranking officials and rising stars in the political world, as well as celebrities like the heavenly queen Laura. It was not the slightest exaggeration to say that at least half of the elites of the entire Federation were gathered in this small stadium. If one were to randomly throw a brick into this crowd, one would definitely be able to produce an awesome big figure.
As for the surrounding audience, there was even a sea of people present. However, the number of people present had already reached the limit. Outside of the stadium, the fans of the 4 great squadrons had completely surrounded the Stuart Dimensional Arena Stadium. Only Stuart City had the ability to host such a competition. Furthermore, they did not intentionally suppress the number of people present. On the contrary, the aristocratic families had taken this opportunity to offer various kinds of benefits, such as discounts on armoured railroads, to boost the economic situation of the city.
"Heaven's Fate Revival! Ancient martial arts will shock the world! Captain Mo Wen is invincible! "
"Long live the king of Stuart, her highness Carolyn!"
Dong dong dong dong dong …
Pa pa pa pa pa …
Applause, drums, shouts, and cheers madly intertwined with one another, not stopping for even a moment. Countless spotlights swept down from the top of the Arena Stadium, while fans would occasionally appear on the large screens holding hands, shouting slogans as they moved up and down from their seats, creating a beautiful, wave-like scene.
"We can see that the fans in the stadium are rather passionate. Be it Heaven's Fate or Stuart, both of them have an extremely high level of support amongst the citizens. However, from the looks of it, the silver-robed Stuart fans are slightly more numerous." Ruo Zhi's voice appeared to be filled with excitement. Being able to commentate on such a match was already a lifetime's worth of regrets for a host. "After all, this is Stuart's home ground! Being the most valuable squadron in all of the CHF's history, Stuart has obtained 19 championships in the past CHF! This is a frightening record, as well as a frightening number! Without a doubt, they are the kings of this CHF! They are also the seeded team that has the highest chance of winning the championship! "
"Carolyn is everyone's goddess. However, her opponent, the Heaven's Fate squadron, isn't one to be trifled with. Although they have only obtained 6 championships in the past CHFs, there's something that has to be mentioned. They have only participated in 8 CHFs. That's to say, out of all the CHF competitions that the Heaven's Fate squadron has participated in, they have only lost the championship to someone else twice! Their chances of winning the championship is even higher than Stuart, who have participated in 31 CHFs. Coupled with the powerful leadership of the so-called number one Mo Wen, Heaven's Fate is definitely the greatest obstacle that Stuart has encountered this year! "
"There's no doubt about that! Although the number of Heaven's Fate fans in the stadium is slightly less, the number of fans supporting both sides is rather close on the Skylink! At this moment, there are already 7,983,624 people participating in the voting for the final victor. 50.3% support Stuart, while 49.7% support Heaven's Fate. At the same time, the total number of people watching on the Skylink has already broken through the 20 million mark, and is still increasing at a crazy rate! "
"This is a match that will truly attract the attention of the entire world! I believe that regardless of Heaven's Fate or Stuart's victory, it won't be a result that will surprise the audience. Today's match isn't just about strength, but also about mentality, and even luck! If they want to walk further and obtain a ticket to the finals, both sides will have to put in their utmost effort! "
"The match is about to begin! Chairwoman Long Mei 'er of the organizing committee will be the main referee for today's match! She will be the one to announce the lineup of the mainstays of both sides, and announce the start of the match! Let's turn the camera to Chairwoman Long Mei 'er! "
At this moment, Chairwoman Long Mei 'er was already standing in front of the microphone. Upon seeing her raise her hand, the promotional videos and explosive rock music playing on the stage instantly came to a halt.
Turning towards the VIP podium, Long Mei 'er gave a deep bow, before taking over the control of the stadium, before reading out the names from the microphone.
"Stuart squadron, Carolyn."
As Long Mei 'er's voice rang out, Carolyn took the lead to appear on stage. Dressed in a swordsman's light combat armour, with a long cape fluttering behind her. Her hand was placed on the hilt of her sword. Coupled with her flowing beautiful hair, she appeared extremely heroic, domineering, yet beautiful. Carolyn's various stats and information were rapidly displayed on the large screen.
Being the famous rising political star of the Federation, Carolyn's fame and reputation in the international arena far exceeded that of anyone else in the CHF. Being able to achieve such accomplishments as a female definitely wasn't due to the glory of her family. At this moment, there were many people in the VIP podium paying attention to this girl. Frankly speaking, a competition of this level could at most be considered as a "show" in the eyes of these bigshots. Perhaps, in the future, the world would belong to these youths. However, at this moment, only Carolyn possessed the qualifications to make them treat her seriously.
While the VIP podium was filled with whispers, the ordinary viewing galleries immediately responded with extreme enthusiasm. Cheers and applause gushed out from the viewing galleries, reverberating across the entire stadium. As Carolyn walked up the stage, she appeared just like a monarch that had descended from the heavens!
"Rennes, Wu Li, Yi Luo, Borhachi!"
The main lineup of the Stuart squadron followed closely behind Carolyn. Every appearance of every single one of them was accompanied by crazed screams and shouts, while the Skylink was also exploding crazily.
Being one of the squadrons with the most potential to become champions, the 4 great Mo's List rankers were unrivalled existences that caused others to despair. Only the Stuart squadron would be able to form such an all-star squadron.
There was no lack of stars from the various squadrons that had been eliminated from the CHF. Although they were once favored by the heavens, truthfully speaking, they might not even be able to fight in the main lineup of the Stuart squadron.
"This year's Stuart squadron really causes people to feel despair." Bobo Torres shook his head. The knot in his heart from losing to Tianjing had already disappeared along with Martial Ghost Divine Emperor's defeat. These 4 squadrons were truly stronger than them, and had also made more ample preparations. What's more frightening was that they didn't even seem to have brought out their true trump cards.
"Ah, who says otherwise? Having an old man in the family is akin to having a treasure, what more 2 of them? Rennes and Yi Luo are both former mainstay members of the CHF that had won the championship before. They were already so heaven-defying a few years ago, what more now? "
"Even such people can only be Carolyn's assistant. What chance do the others have?"
"We were born at the wrong time. There are too many freaks in this CHF. If it was in the previous CHF, we would definitely have the chance to stand on the stage of the finals. However, our loss isn't unjust. "
"Only a squadron like Heaven's Fate can contend against them."
"Heaven's Fate squadron, Mo Wen!" Long Mei 'er's voice continued to ring out.
Heaven's Fate had stepped onto the stage.
Being one of the strongest contenders for the title of number 1 in this CHF, not only did he possess the strength he had displayed in the CHF, it was also due to his legendary experiences. He was the youngest instructor of the mechanized squadron in the history of the Federation, and was praised as a genius that could truly bring ancient martial arts to greater heights. Mo Wen's strength had long been deeply ingrained in everyone's hearts.
Only a legendary figure was worthy of the title of a legend. Despite this not being Heaven's Fate's home ground, the cheers and applause that rang out in the stadium weren't the slightest bit inferior to Carolyn's when Mo Wen stepped onto the stage.
However, the second name that Long Mei 'er read out wasn't Mo Ling or Napier Mo.
"Mo Xingchen!"
When Long Mei 'er read out the name, everyone in the originally incomparably bustling stadium could clearly feel the entire place turning slightly silent.
Mo Xingchen? Wasn't that the captain of the Heaven's Fate squadron? She was reading out the name list for today's mainstay! This was …
The petite Mo Xingchen walked out. Dressed in a pure white muslin dress, her exquisite facial features and otherworldly temperament caused people to feel as though she was a pure and holy goddess.
The eyes of quite a few people in the VIP podium lit up. However, there was basically no need to think about it. Mo Xingchen's marriage partner was definitely within the Mo Family. Heaven's Fate Seers would never marry outsiders, unless they were willing to marry into their family.
Compared to Carolyn, Mo Xingchen's fame and reputation within the international upper circle was not one bit inferior. There were truly too many people interested in her. Unlike Carolyn, who was political and wielded authority, Mo Xingchen's status was transcendent.
"That little miss is the Mo Family's Heaven's Fate Master of this generation? I wonder what kind of accurate predictions she has made? "
"Haha, a Heaven's Fate Master taking action? I remember that the last time I saw a Heaven's Fate Master take action was 30 years ago. That's a rare occurrence. "
The bigwigs in the VIP podium were all engaged in spirited discussions, with their interest piqued. Naturally, they did not feel that the current Heaven's Fate Master was of any use. Generally speaking, a Heaven's Fate Master would need to enter the Heavenly Soul Stage before being able to make any big predictions and judgements.
Of the 4 princesses of the Federation, the other 3 all had distinct figures. Naturally, they would love them to the point of going crazy. However, there would always be those that didn't like them. Only Mo Xingchen was truly the type that attracted men and women, young and old, from 8 to 80 years old.
However, why would Mo Xingchen appear in the mainstay? Could it be that she was really going to take the stage?
After a short period of silence, the stadium erupted with cheers, applause, screams and whistles that were about to rip the roof off the Dimensional Arena Stadium.
Being able to see 7 Mo's List experts in the same competition, 2 of the so-called CHF's number 1 experts, 2 former champions, and even 2 of the 4 princesses of the Federation standing on the same stage … if one were to talk about dazzling stars and gold content, this would definitely be the best in this CHF.
"Mo Ling, Napier Mo, Mo Shang!" Long Mei 'er read out the remaining names in a single breath, before all of the Heaven's Fate members appeared on the stage.
Just like Stuart, Heaven's Fate's lineup could be said to be extravagant. The addition of Mo Xingchen had injected even more mysteriousness and anticipation into this already all-star squadron.
The atmosphere in the stadium was raised again and again. Not only were the ordinary commoner fans cheering and cheering, there were also many CHF participants that had clearly been eliminated from this CHF. There was also a disparity between celebrities. To them, Mo Wen, Carolyn, Mo Xingchen and the likes were the idols and goals in their hearts.
"I hereby announce the official start of the CHF semifinals!"
“hohoho！ Do your best, Heaven's Fate squadron! "
"Stuart will definitely crush you! Descend from the heavens! "
As Long Mei 'er's voice rang out, the atmosphere in the entire stadium was pushed to its peak, with countless cheers and shouts completely drowning the entire stadium!
Wang Zhong was seated right below the VIP podium. Although they weren't the main characters in today's CHF, they were still able to occupy the best seats in the participant podium. Occupying the first row, they were also the focal point of attention, which made them stand out even more from the crowd.
Wang Zhong and Vladimir were seated on one side of each other, with not much distance between them. From the looks of it, they were seated right next to each other. However, no one knew if this was a deliberate arrangement, or if this was just how it was, as neither side had any intentions of moving. Compared to the overbearing Gui Family, Vladimir appeared much calmer. Furthermore, he did not have any intentions of opposing them. He had taken the initiative to sit on the left, beside Wang Zhong, who was seated on the right. This was the bearing and self-confidence he had.
It had to be said that this prince from the northern regions possessed a demeanor and elegance that was hard for people to reject. The faint smile that hung on his face was neither stiff nor fake. "Ah.
If every single member of Heaven's Fate has a heaven-defying foundation, then Stuart has a heaven-defying talent. The 2 squadrons have completely different styles, so it's very hard to say who can restrain who. "Vladimir took the initiative to speak up.
"The tempo of the fight will become extremely important." Replied Wang Zhong with a smile. Shooting a look at the handsome fellow beside him, he felt that he was indeed slightly dazzling. Most likely, only Grai could be compared to him, though Grai did not possess the aristocratic aura that Vladimir possessed.
"I also feel that way." Said Vladimir with a faint smile, bringing with him the confidence that only aristocrats possessed. "Stuart will send Yi Luo."
"The Mo Family will send Mo Xingchen." If not for the unique special ability that countered Yi Luo, there was really no need for Mo Xingchen to appear. The most frightening ability amongst Soul Beast Masters was the ability to control dimensional plants. Furthermore, the range and control of dimensional plants were the best in this CHF. Some of Stuart's special abilities were brainlessly used to restrain their opponents.
A wave of astonished cries erupted across the stadium, as both sides revealed their vanguard selection. Yi Luo VS Mo Xingchen!
The Tianjing and Vasilyevich squadron members were dumbfounded. Those 2 people were too freaks! Although both of them had their own reasons, how were they able to guess each other's choice with a single sentence???
The entire stadium and Skylink had completely exploded into an uproar. To the majority of people who did not know the truth, how could Mo Xingchen fight, and against the savage Yi Luo?
Once Yi Luo went berserk, she would definitely not treat her opponent as a human.
"Oh my god! How could Mo Xingchen be the vanguard?!"
"Could it be that the big miss isn't going to be like Tianjing's Ma Dong? Isn't she just going through the motions and acting as a mascot? Can Heaven's Fate Masters also fight? "
