Chapter 545 - For Honour and Glory (1/2)
Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations
A Mo Wen so strong there was nothing else to be said had easily destroyed Karl’s defence. Exactly what kind of attacks were those? Even 2nd drive infused attacks won’t have such an effect, right?
However, no one present within the entire stadium could notice that problem.
For the 4th duel, carrying the final hope for the countless Seer fans. Lancelot Seer walked up the stage.
Frankly speaking, just his movement and actions could allow one to know that he was an extremely strong ranged solder. Despite him not having the comprehensive all rounded strength on the level of the Mo list’s 5 Great ranged soldiers, his fundamentals did not have any disparity with the Mo’s List ranged soldiers. Coupled with a Wind attribute special ability and a crossbow, he was a rather unique ranged soldier.
Faced against him was the freshman ranged soldier, Mo Shang. Originally, it would be a matchup with equal odds, with ranged soldier VS ranged soldier. In a scenario where both parties were on the same realm, the fight would become one of mental state and the ability to maintain one’s calm. The most likely possible flow of this fight would be a ranged battle, with both sides using the wretched fighting style of dragging the fight one to as long as possible and obtain victory by patience and how calm one remained.
However, this equilibrium present in the minds of countless people were immediately broken.
At this moment, Lancelot wasn’t lacking in anything except patience and a cool head. With Seer having lost the 3 earlier duels and carrying the possibly last duel of this match on his shoulders, he was Seer’s only option left. Despite having already repeatedly reminding himself that being anxious towards victory would only affect his mental state for this fight, he had advanced prematurely into the attack radius his opponent had prepared for him. With his powerful attacks unable to achieve anything, he was easily countered and defeated.
4:0!
Basically, everyone had foreseen this outcome. However, no one had guessed how it was formed. 4:0. Looking back at the expressions on the members of the Heaven’s Fate squadron, all of them appearing calm and undisturbed by anything, as though no one had cared about this outcome or process. At this moment, they were just chatting about, and in fact, were saying a few ridiculing words about their captain. It was hard for him to become serious, yet it had ended in such a fas.h.i.+on.
The victory was predetermined.
Keeping a low profile did not mean that they were cowardly or weak. On the contrary, they were genuinely strong, as being aloft in this world required strength!
弱队的心态一直是饱受诟病的问题,强队被人们无限神话,似乎他们的心态也同样强大,可事实上,那只是因为他们没有遇到比自己更强的对手而已.
The mentality of a weak squadron had always been their problem, while powerful squadrons were turned into unlimited legends by people, with their mentality being similar powerful. However, truthfully, that was due to them having yet b.u.mped into stronger opponents.
Seer’s loss, especially the 4th duel with Lancelot Seer’s, had cemented this point rather deeply.
The entire stadium gave a standing ovation for their winners, Heaven’s Fate. No one blamed Seer. In fact, Karl Seer had already showcased the Seer Family’s honour and dignity. Nevertheless, they had faced against Heaven’s Fate, the gargantuan monster that had no weaknesses, and was unstoppable!
As of now, the Heaven’s Fate squadron has taken a step forward and become the hottest favourites to clinching the champions.h.i.+p and being fully worthy of the No.1 spot. Mo Wen’s fame had soared to the point of no equal, with w.a.n.g Zhong having no choice but to contend for 2nd place. The style of this immeasurable general gave people a feeling as though he could overlook the entirety of the CHF.
Being able to defeat one of the great aristocratic families, Seer with such ease. Was a glory solely held by the Heaven’s Fate Mo Family, or all of the S+ ranked squadrons?
Exactly how strong were those S+ ranks?
Many of such discussions sprung up on Skylink. However, truth to be told, this question wasn’t had to test and validate.
There was one point that could be confirmed, was that the various aristocratic family squadron would have to bring out some of their genuine abilities for this quarterfinal.
After the end of the match, w.a.n.g Zhong b.u.mped into Mario by accident on the way back. The latter had come over to remain the Tianjing squadron to be careful, as his experience had almost cost him to miss out from his match. Frankly speaking, although the Blazing squadron was eliminated from the CHF, everyone still hoped for the Tianjing squadron to be able to walk further within this CHF. Although the Gui Family was very, very powerful, that did not mean that Tianjing didn’t stand a chance at all.
Although he wasn’t willing to do so, Mario still brought over Sharmie’s greetings, and that if Tianjing’s able to defeat Martial Ghost Divine Emperor, she would definitely invite them over.
Though truthfully speaking, Mario could not help but underrate Sharmie’s request, as what has Tianjing’s victory got to do with their Blazing squadron? Although that would be quite admirable, however…
WIth there being another match before theirs, the atmosphere was still rather relaxed. In reality, the fight against Martial Ghost Divine Emperor rested completely on the shoulders of w.a.n.g Zhong and Grai, while the other squadron members could only be cheerleaders for the 2. For people on the level of Colby, that was basically akin to living in a dream. Even though they had won the earlier matches without the need to lift even one fight, they had personally seen miracles being made. As for the question of whether they would be able to defeat Martial Ghost Divine Emperor, that was one that they had basically not go and think about it at all.
At the same time, Giant G.o.d Peak did not waste their time in a carefree and leisurely state. Dicaprio was no longer in the carefree and leisurely att.i.tude he had earlier in this CHF. Instead, he was looking solemnly at each and every member of his squadron in the training room. At this moment, all of them also had solemn expressions on their faces, as their upcoming match against Stuart would be the determining factor for their fate and future. As long as they could cross the hurdle that was Stuart, they would be transformed from carps into dragons, with their momentum becoming unstoppable! They would become a new aristocratic family. They would become ranked in the middle of the pack, and would obtain progress in all fronts. Honour, glory, strength and status would be readily available for them to obtain. Everyone’s eyes burned with the thirst of battle, with all of them making ample preparations for the upcoming match. Remembering their humiliation to maintain their resolve, all of them had been waiting for this day, to take their shot at Stuart!
The 2nd second day of the quarterfinals, Stuart VS Giant G.o.d Peak!
The Dimensional Arena Stadium was even more lively than before, as the Stuart squadron had greater fame and popularity that the Heaven’s Fate squadron. As of now, the rankings of the top 10 most popular people were :
1. Mo Wen 2. w.a.n.g Zhong 3. Carolyn 4. Gui Hao 5. Vladimir 6. Napier Mo 7. Karl Seer 8. Gui Xinying 9. Divian Seer 10. Bobo Torres
Naturally, this ranking would change alongside as the matches progressed. Take Mo Wen and w.a.n.g Zhong for example. Due to their successive splendid fights, they have risen rapidly to the first 2 places. However, following the later matches, the other people had their own splendid performances. A large factor on one’s performance was the opponent one was matched up against. If one’s opponent was too weak, one would not have leeway to show off any of their abilities. At this point of time, doing something like a one-man show would be too stupid of a choice, with Noriba being the most likely one even to consider this possibility.
The stadium was packed full as usual. However, compared to the previous match, the Stuart fans were of the super crazy type. This was the home ground for Stuart City. They made up 80 to 90% of the 150 to 160 thousand people present here. Dressed in silvery uniforms similar to that of the Stuart squadron, they appeared as a silvery sea that saturated the stadium. Although there were some Giant G.o.d Peak supporters present, they appeared to be overwhelmed by the pa.s.sionate cheers and shouts from the other party. As of now, there was already 200 thousand present in the stadium that was split into 4 uniform viewing areas.
The Parliament influence had blocked entry to a few fan groups. Nevertheless, their plans were smashed into bits in the face of the gargantuan formation of Stuart fans. It had to be said that the Start Family had viciously suppressed their opponents once again. This was seen by many cities through the live broadcast, with quite a few in the higher levels of the Federation knowing the hidden significance of this match. It had to be said that the aristocratic family influence was showcasing a completely suppressive dominance.
However, this was after all the Stuart home ground, thus that suppression was pardonable. One’s strength still decided everything. Regardless of whom, there was a limit to the amount of interference they could do in a compet.i.tion. In the end, everything rested on one’s combat strength. If Giant G.o.d Peak was able to have a tyrannical performance, Stuart’s preparations for everything would be foiled.
