Chapter 540 - The strongest clown (2 in 1) (1/2)

“Let’s see how Heaven’s Fate responds to that. Brother Ruo, did you think that they would send Mo Wen up? From the combat styles and occupations present on both sides, Mo Wen will definitely have an advantage against Jormungar. Being the 2nd core figure of the Seer squadron, him being defeated might possibly spell a complete defeat for the entire match.”
“There’s that possibility. However, we also have to consider about Heaven’s Fate’s freshman ranged soldier. If he really is a hidden card, it’s possible for Heaven’s Fate to have an occupational advantage in a showdown against Jormungar. The strength Heaven’s Fate has shown in the form of Mo Ling has already shocked everyone. If they were to obtain victory in the 2nd duel, their freshman ranged soldiers will become a textbook example of an overnight celebrity. As of now, Heaven’s Fate has complete control over the selection. Even if they were to lose the next duel, using a freshman to remove Seer’s super heavy soldier out of the equation would be as easy for them as making a name swap. The momentum for this match will still be present in the trump card possessing Heaven’s Fate, while they will take no loss at all. It’s time for them to make their selection. Heaven’s Fate’s selection is…whoosh…it’s unexpectedly Napier Mo!”
Everyone knew that a.s.sa.s.sins were naturally countered by heavy soldiers. Although that wasn’t absolutely true for all cases, as it was more dependent on the realms both parties were in. However, if they were of the same realm, the counter would be present.
However, even though Napier Mo was truly strong, was Jormungar weak? Both of them were Mo’s List rankers! Even if Napier Mo wasn’t afraid of the latter, was there any reason for him to fight against his natural counter?
Peculiar expressions appeared on countless people as Napier Mo appeared on the stage.
Unlike the comical and funny expressions that were present in people’s minds, the Napier Mo of now was markedly different from before!
At this moment, he was looking towards the s.p.a.cious stage with incomparable earnestness, while a look of incomparable seriousness was plastered on his face.
Those among the audience who felt like laughing the moment Napier Mo’s name was announced could not help get attracted by his level of concentration.
In the past, his comical and silly antics might either be due to him being too relaxed of that his opponents were too underqualified to be his opponents. Truly worthy of the quarterfinals stage. Look at him! He’s basically treating the stage before him as a holy ground present within his heart! He has even forgotten about the “giant” Jormungar standing before him!
Even a person like him has a pristine holy ground in his heart!
The laughter and flabbergasted responses immediately dropped by a few marks, while a mark of respect for Napier Mo surfaced in the hearts of many. The quarterfinals had resulted in the invisible weighty feeling in everyone’s hearts.
At this moment, the incomparable solemn Napier Mo took a deep breath, before moving his body!
Running forward, he did a small hop and rushed up the stage!
Using his hands to lightly grip the side of the stage, he performed a Yurchenko vault, doing a front somersault, spinning forwards 640 degrees, before followed by 9-and-a-half tucked!
His graceful figure carved a perfect arc in the air, before landing lighting right before Jormungar. Nevertheless, not a change was present on the latter’s expressionless face. Divian’s loss had already sent every Seer member into a life or flight mode. As for the audience, who had been infected by Napier Mo’s earlier solemn moment, all of them had subsequently turned completely silent.
This…
Before everyone could regain their senses for the “something’s not right” state, Napier Mo suddenly knelt down on the ground, before covered his forehead and mouth, appearing to resist an impulse rather strongly. “How many rounds did I spin? My, my heads, urgh…”
The audience immediately felt an impulsion to leave gush out from their hearts.
“Can Napier Mo have a serious moment? I think pigs can climb trees too!”
“The Federation people really are humorous! If he’s dizzy, can’t he just spin fewer rounds?”
“Those from the empire watching who don’t understand please sit in a circle and watch!” naturally, there weren’t any people from the empire watching. Nevertheless, those words have already become a way people would use to ridicule others.
“Is that clown purposefully humiliating our Seer squadron?!” on the losing side of the stadium, with their G.o.ddess falling, the Seer fans were already considerably unhappy, and were already looking for a place to vent their frustrations.
Ma.s.sive amounts of such comments filled the Skylink live feed chat, while an ear-shattering noise coupled with the smell gunpowder had already overwhelmed the entire stadium.
Such a joke had appeared in the ever so strict and conservative Mo Family. This scene had caused quite a few Mo Family elders to start doubting whether this was the retribution their Mo Family deserved for revealing too many of Heaven’s secrets, as Napier Mo had thrown their face in front of the entire world!
As for Jormungar, he continued to shoot a cold glare at this shameful and cheeky fellow. Frankly speaking, he knew that Napier Mo had done all of that just to irk and p.i.s.s him off. Divian’s loss had not only turned the Seer squadron into a pa.s.sive stance, their morale had also taken a beating. What’s more, with Napier Mo’s shameless acts, they would really feel too wronged if they were to lose.
At this moment, killing intent gushed out from his heart. Seer urgently needed a clean and easy victory. To achieve that, he was already determined to bet his life on the line in his fight against Napier Mo. However, after being provoked by that clown-like fellow, his killing intent had unexpectedly turned into a blooper.
Without any useless nonsense said, Jormungar took the initiative and made his move!
Flames immediately swept out across the stage, while his broad s.h.i.+eld swept out in a horizontal direction!
Whoos.h.!.+
Stilling continuing his shameless acts, Napier Mo disappeared from his position in an instant. Despite it being just a casual sweep of his hand, there’s no one that dared to ignore Jormungar’s heavy attack.
Remnant shades appeared across the stage.
On the aspect of speed, Napier Mo was at the apex even among the 5 Great Mo’s List a.s.sa.s.sins! His venomous fang-like dagger drew rapid arcs radiating with a chilling glow as turned a big round in the air, before hurtling right at Jormungar’s nape.
In an a.s.sa.s.sin VS heavy soldier matchup, the only advantage an a.s.sa.s.sin has was speed. Be it the unique traits of their occupations of the contrast in preparations, the difference in speed between the 2 was undeniably clear.
Defence? Ward off attacks?
Those weren’t the best methods a heavy soldier could use against an a.s.sa.s.sin! It wasn’t to say that heavy soldiers weren’t fast. However, if they were to trade moves and challenge a.s.sa.s.sins of the same realm in nimbleness, they would really be played to death! Even if they wouldn’t be beaten to death, they would be burnt out first!
It appeared as though he had swung his giant s.h.i.+eld out after being provoked by Napier Mo. However,
His steel-like muscles gave people the impression that it would stop the dagger right at its track! The torrent of Soul Power pouring out from his body appeared just like air currents that swept across the stage in all directions, stopping everything in their tracks, including his opponent’s actions. It was at this moment, the Jormungar’s left fist came swinging from the side!
Although his counterattack wasn’t as fast as Napier Mo, it was definitely not too much slower. At the instant when the latter’s dagger had pierced forward, he would use his muscles and defence to inhibit the latter’s movements just for a tad bit before his punch sweeping across would absolutely reap his life!
Blazing with flames, the boiling red fist brought along a terrifying amount of Soul Power as it rumbled out. Coupled with a wave of pressure, it felt as though it would warp and distort the surrounding s.p.a.ce!
Trade injuries!
The only course a heavy soldier should take against a.s.sa.s.sins! As long as one has a formidable defence, one could just eat 10 blades and not die, before exchanging that for a life rending punch!
Using the unchanging to counter the myriad of changes!
The a.s.sa.s.sin, who was clearly able to use speed to endlessly juke the heavy soldier around, was now believed to possess a life-threatening disadvantage. They could clearly hold the initiative in combat, yet were forced into a pa.s.sive state. This was the pain and misery a.s.sa.s.sins would have to go through when matched against heavy soldiers.
