Chapter 351: Little Emily, have a good life
Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations
The escape of the Giant God Peak Academy had already left him in an exceedingly unhappy mood . To his shock, another one in the form of the Tianjing squadron had sprouted up at the end of the first elimination round .
He had planned to humiliate that trash squadron that had slipped out of his net . However, who would have thought that a Cheng Yaojin(1) would pop out along the way! In an absolutely dangerous region that was surrounded by the absolute ice hail storm, that fellow even managed to carry a person on his back and run all the way to Grozny City? What bullshit luck was that! The gods were truly not giving Casio any face!
Emily and the others from the Tianjing squadron stood all around Wang Zhong and Scarlet . Only after their initial excitement and elation had worn off did they realize the injuries presented under the thick cloth strips wrapped tightly around his hands . Upon undoing them, tears immediately fell from Emily's eyes . On the contrary, Scarlet appeared rather calm and collected as she took into the scene . Enduring the fatigue and exhaustion she had accumulated across the past few days, she proceeded to seek Milami out to administer first aid for Wang Zhong .
The main reason that led to shock appeared in people's eye was due to the appearances of the frostbite and abrasions present . On his hands, especially the back of his arms, they were entirely covered by stretches of purple . There were quite a few spots where the skins had been ripped apart, though no blood dripped out from them . At this moment, the torn blood vessels beneath those patches of skin had already been frozen into ice .
Scarlet proceeded to treat them, doing so with incomparable concentration carefully . At this moment, the intense pain she had suffered on her head was more or less already healed up . The only other injuries on her were merely superficial, unable to affect her as she tended to Wang Zhong's wounds . Standing beside her, Hymin was using her recovery attribute special ability to aid in Wang Zhong's recovery . This caused envy and jealousy to rise within squadrons present in the surroundings, as indeed, being taken care by such beautiful girls was an extremely blissful matter .
Some of the people standing around Wang Zhong had started to ask the course of matters than the duo had experienced over the past few days . However, before Wang Zhong could say more than a few sentences, the gathering bell had already been rung .
"The time frame to submit your name lists has ended!" the person announcing was the same one that people had seen before they had set off to their respective competition zones, senior colonel Lun Nong . He was the person in charge of all of the matters pertaining to the first elimination round . At this moment, he stood on a little platform propped up by the side as he continued his announcement . "There are a total of 78 squadrons that have qualified for the second elimination round . There will be a detailed list ranked in accordance to the times taken to complete the first elimination round . First up, I'll announce the top ten results . The other squadrons can enquire about their rankings after this announcement . "
"1st place, Heaven's Fate Academy! Time take, 16 days and 7 hours!"
"2nd place, Stowe Luge Academy! 16 days and 9 hours!"
As Lun Nong continued with his announcement, the low voices of people holding discussions with one another continued to ring out from the surroundings . The 2 S ranked squadrons had completed the mission at frighteningly fast timings . To them, this elimination round that had posed life-threatening dangers for other squadrons, was as easy as drinking water .
. . .
"8th place, Giant God Peak Academy! 23 days and 15 hours!"
Having just arrived, Wang Zhong was not yet privy to the spectacular results that Dicaprio and his squadron had obtained . Upon hearing that announcement, he could not help but to give a big thumbs up sign to the latter . Seeing this, Dicaprio pushed his spectacles up as a rather resolute expression appeared on his face . "That's an expected result . Truthfully speaking, if we wanted, we could have arrived with an even better timing!"
Fortunately, having known him for so long, Wang Zhong had become habituated to Dicaprio's way of speech . If not, that fellow would genuinely be considered to be a person who would die if he was unable to speak any praise for himself .
" . . . 10th place, Lightning Dragon Academy! 24 days and 7 hours!" Lun Nong completed his announcement of the top 10 squadrons on the ranking list . " The squadrons in the top placings will get 10 extra points for the second round of eliminations!"
"2nd round of eliminations? Extra points?" the various squadrons present here were slightly bewildered by those words . "There's a point system?"
"What's this about? Do these 10 points matter? Won't it be too disadvantageous for the other squadrons?"
"Next up is the rules of the 2nd elimination round!" senior colonel Lun Nong shot a sweeping cold glare at every squadron in the surroundings, squashing those voices in discussion down immediately . "The 2nd elimination round is split up into 5 parts . "
"Scout arena! Ranged soldier arena! Heavy soldier arena! Soldier arena! As well as the final captain arena! There can be no repeated participating in those arenas! Squadrons will be eliminated based on the points they receive from those 5 evaluations!"
Only 32 squadrons would be able to participate in the final competition of the CHF . If this was the final elimination round, won't there be approximately 50 squadrons that would be eliminated???
All of a sudden, the looks everyone sent to each other weren't that friendly anymore . There was a participation limit, with some moving on while others fall . After passing through the first elimination round with much difficulty, no one wanted to be eliminated here . Every single squadron wanted to return to that eye-catching and glamorous stage in Stuart City, letting the whole world see how awesome they were . Absolutely no one wanted to be eliminated!
The entire ground instantly turned quiet as everyone was still in the process of comprehending the news that they had just heard . After all, instead of the most clear-cut and straightforward method of elimination through combat, such an elimination method seemed to have never been employed in all of the past CHFs . However, in this CHF, such a method had been employed for the 1st, and even 2nd elimination round .
Some people found it hard to understand the rationale behind these changes . However, those with even the slightest bit of intellect would be able to understand that this was the method the competition committee employed to maximize the preservation of the entire strength of the various participating squadrons, and to avoid the occurrence of too many injuries before the final competition . This included the 1st elimination round, which appeared to be an extremely cruel test for survival . Truthfully speaking, the degree of difficulty of it was just on the level of a wilderness training exercise for the genuinely strong squadrons . At the very least, they treated it as a warm-up for the final competition, as it would be broadcasted worldwide, where one would be able to showcase themselves on the beautiful stage prepared by the federation . If only a ragtag bunch of squadrons were to appear during the final competition, it indeed would truly be too big a blow to the reputation of the federation .
"Finally, I have to remind all of you . " keeping the information sheets in his hands, senior colonel Lun Nong spoke out in an earnest manner . "It's best for all of you to give it your all, as there's a certain level of variability in the points system for the 2nd round . It isn't absolute, and the points allocated to the squadrons would not be released before the final tabulation . However, don't assume that you would be able to make it to the finals when you're around the 20 to 30+ rankings! People who hold such thoughts and treat that as their goals would most likely be unable to meet the other criteria and will be eliminated!"
