The entire field was dead silent.
Regardless of whether it was the surrounding onlookers who were watching the fun, Cen Xuan, the staff members in charge of registration, or Sai Lei; all their mouths were wide open staring in a daze at the blurry yet majestically blue silhouette in the middle of the flying dust.
Their minds were a complete blank.
“Excuse me, did I pass?”
The deep voice permeated the dust and reverberated throughout the set.
The staff members were jolted awake. They hurriedly turned their heads, saw the timer at the side, and appeared as though they had seen a ghost. 17.6 seconds!
How… … how could it be… …
The fellow had wasted 10 seconds earlier. Does this not mean that he only used 7.6 seconds?
To pass the Grade A Preliminary Test in 7.6 seconds, this must be a joke. This definitely was a joke! They stared in daze at the digits on the timer. In that moment, they were all absent-minded.
“Erm? Are there any problems?”
The deep chilly voice was akin to a slow prowling tiger. It suddenly paused in its steps, and turned back slightly.
A wave of hideous and murderous intent swept over.
The staff members felt as though a basin of ice water was poured over them. The blood in their entire body almost froze, their faces turned as white as sheet. The elder leader was the most experienced. The murderous intent revealed by the opposition was aggressive. And their behaviour just now had already brought trouble upon themselves. At the slightest hesitation, it was feared that… …
The elder suppressed his wildly palpitating heart, and hurriedly replied with a tremor in his voice, “No problem, no problem! Pass!”
The trace of blood in Tang Tian’s eyes faded. The raging fire in his heart had been nearly extinguished, and he regained his usual demeanour.
“Well done, ThunderSnow!”
He encouraged ThunderSnow.
ThunderSnow’s motives made Tang Tian slightly surprised. ThunderSnow seemed to have changed as well.
However, Tang Tian did not take it to heart and took his strides.
Hua la hua la.
The sound that came from ThunderSnows rags no longer seemed funny to the ears of the crowd. They no longer thought that ThunderSnow was a big walking hanger with numerous rags on him. The piercing ‘hua la hua la’ sounds were filled with deadly intent, and everyone involuntarily connected it to the sound of valiant warriors in armour charging onwards.
The slowly approaching ThunderSnow, hua la hua la, was suppressive and stifling.
The torn and tattered ThunderSnow, people no longer found him ugly. No one found him torn and tattered. The numerous wounds, the dents, were the mark of an elite who survived numerous wars.
Those torn and tattered wounds seemed to have an unspeakable magic, involuntarily attracting everyone’s gazes.
It was fearsome.
“May I know Senior’s name and the mechanical weapon’s name?” The elder respectfully said, “According to the rules, Senior, you will be the 99th seeded player.”
He did not forget his duties. Although his previous behaviour could highly possible bring trouble upon him, but now, the birth of an absolute record-breaker made him truly proud instead.
He hurriedly explained, “There are 98 seeded players before you. As it was long prearranged, Senior has to rank 99 for the time being. Seeded players need not take part in the preliminaries, and would directly enter the main round.”
“I am Thunder.” Tang Tian’s voice diffused throughout from the mechanical weapon, clearly for the entire set to hear, “This is Snow.”
ThunderSnow’s thoughts were full of protest. It was rather unhappy with Tang Tian for separatingand occupying half of its name. And the half of the name that he left for it was so feminine!
Of course, the protests was directly ignored by Tang Tian.
In the midst of the silence, Tang Tian controlled Thundersnow, took the proof of seeded players from the elder’s hands, walked to Sai Lei’s side, picked up the dumbfounded Sai Lei, and vanished from the field of sight of the crowd.
To Tang Tian, as this was just a preliminary test, he was not too bothered about it.
He was completely clueless that the uproar caused by this preliminary test was far beyond his imagination.
On the same night.
The grounds of the Grade A Preliminary Test was full of people. The staff members at the side were respectfully guarding at the side.
As a silvery white-as-snow mechanical weapon flew to the destination, a handsome young man alighted, and he shook his head with a grave expression, “No, I can’t do it.”
Although they had already personally witnessed the result, when the young man personally confessed, it still caused a commotion.
This man was the 23rd seeded player in this friendly match, Jia Ming Wei from the Phoenix Constellation, and his mechanical weapon was named White Phoenix. Jia Ming Wei’s prowess was widely famed. In the entire Southern Sky’s 42 Constellations, he was highly reputable.
Jia Ming Wei glanced at the time on the timer, the amount of time he spent, was 18.3 seconds.
If it was a normal day, he would have been satisfied with this result. To pass the Grade A Preliminary Test was definitely a proof of his prowess. But upon thinking of the fellow named Thunder, who only spent 7.6 seconds, he could hardly be happy about it.
