Chapter 418 I Fell
Translator: Yorasu | Editor: Fireclaws
Five consecutive battles?
Was this possible?
Five consecutive battles might sound amazing, but when you looked carefully, something was amiss.
The matches would be held in reality!
Not the virtual world!
Energy consumption would be a huge hindrance. To achieve five consecutive battles, how could they solve their energy deficiency? It was very likely one would have to tap out after one battle.
Su Hao started analyzing.
In the previous battle of Su Hao with Jin Kang, even though he emerged victorious in the end with his Xinghe Arrow, he still suffered serious injuries while emptying his gas tank. If another esper appeared at that time, he would literally be finished!
The rules had made Su Hao realized the problem he was facing. With the current strength of the Jianghe Team, it was still difficult to win the battle for the capital city.
Forget about the formidable Baiwu Team; the current Fenghui Team was already an obstacle.
“Can we win?”
Su Hao was unsure in his heart.
The matches weren’t a personal battle, but a battle as a team!
Trust in his teammates?
To be frank, Su Hao wasn’t even confident in himself. Jiu Hefeng’s capability was unknown. In contrast, his own strength was clearly known due to the exam. Under such circumstances, the odds were even smaller. However, Su Hao was clear on one point. No matter how big the odds, they had to win!
Su Hao stood up in an unstable manner.
He wanted to keep training but noticed that his body couldn’t cope with it.
“Bang, bang!”
Many currents pulsed through his body.
Body Forging Technique was once again activated, and his inner force quickly vanished. His body slowly became better as one unit of inner force was consumed to recover his body. He could feel his body was getting better.
“Phew, if I can’t train, how about I do some scouting. Even though everyone knows of our team’s strength, we are still clueless regarding the other teams’ strengths. Let’s go and gather information on their origin techniques and ability talents. Then I will be able to make better preparations.”
Su Hao's mood became brighter as he carefully planned out his following actions.
His plan was simple. By using his model analysis, he would read his opponents’ cards. Based on their ability talents and origin techniques, he would then roughly estimate their strength.
Fenghui Team’s rest area.
The team was examining data regarding Su Hao’s team. In fact, they did not need to do this as they had seen everything during the exam. The general strength of Su Hao and the others were clear from the exam clips.
“What do you all think?”
Jiu Hefeng casually looked at his own teammates and asked.
“Not much of a problem.”
A young man sitting left of Jiu Hefeng voiced out, “To be frank, they are all geniuses. They might even have more talent than us. This fact can be seen from his battle with Tian Zi. Their potential is unimaginable. Given two years, we might not be able to compete with them. Too bad, they’re too young right now!”
“True, I agree with Li Yan’s opinion.”
A man with rather a huge body said, “Su Hao has learned many techniques, but few of them are offensive techniques. Although that is because he is still in high school, overall it won’t be enough to compete with us.”
“As for the others… nothing worth mentioning about them.”
“Li Tiantian was able to score high in the exam which was all because of his ability talent. As for his actual combat ability, it seems to be ordinary. Meanwhile, Zhou Wang seems to be capable of using many powerful origin techniques, but his level is too low. Even if he faced me, I bet he would not be able to break my defense!”
“Li Xin, he is just a joke in the eyes of espers. The one called Chen Yiran is unknown. She wasn’t even attracting any attention during the exam. Probably she was pulled into the team due to the sudden team reformation.”
“Yup.”
Jiu Hefeng listened attentively and didn’t express any opinion before looking at the others, “What about you two?”
“I agree with them.”
“Me too.”
The remaining two nodded in agreement.
“Really?”
Jiu Hefeng smirked and casually stood up. Inexplicably, he released some invisible pressure on the others.
A virtual screen was brought out.
He then pointed on top of the screen, “First, let’s talk about Su Hao whom you all think isn’t strong. It was this man who killed a third-year Zhanzheng College’s student named Jin Kang two days ago.”
“What?!”
Li Yan exclaimed.
Even if they hadn’t enrolled in university, they knew about this fact.
They were well aware of the strength a third-year student at Zhanzheng College possessed. Yet such an individual was killed by Su Hao? They suddenly felt worried about this match. Could it be that Su Hao was still hiding his strength during the exam?
“You really think this is it?”
Jiu Hefeng coldly sneered, “You know why Jianghe City is having Su Hao and others who are mostly 18-year-olds as their representatives?”
“Well…”
They scratched their head, “Isn’t it because their reputation is so good that the city can’t take any others?”
Jiu Hefeng continued, “If you think so, then you have done something terribly wrong! If you get any news from Jianghe City, you would understand! The original participants of Jianghe City were second-year students of Zhanzheng College!”
“Second year...”
Everyone had their face turned grave.
Indeed, second-year students at Zhanzheng College would have pretty much the same strength as them except their leader. But why did Jianghe City not proceed with that team?
“Did they have something urgent to do and go back?”
Someone made a smart guess.
“Nope.”
Jiu Hefeng calmly revealed the truth, “In front of the Origin Ability Association’s main door, those five students from Zhanzheng College were beaten the hell up by Su Hao.”
“What?!”
They were all stunned.
Was that a joke?
