This Grai was very strong . However, Yingren should still be able to obtain victory . This defeat showed that he was not vicious enough and did not treat his opponent with sufficient regard . Since this was the final competition, one should always go all out in every match, and should never, ever become lax . This was the creed of an assassin .
Now, the Bierlia side was actually forced to make the first choice . This was something that they had honestly not expected .
In a duelling phase of the match, the order for selection for the match-ups was essential, as different occupations possessed specific counters to other occupations . If this advantage was given to one's opponent, it's extremely common for a 4:0 or 4:1 result to occur between 2 equally matched squadrons . Therefore, under such competition rules, clinching the first victory in the duel phase was utterly critical for both squadrons . Whoever manages to do so would gain the advantage of making a selection after their opponent makes theirs . Now, the advantage was in Tianjing's hands .
"Dan Dong" Without even the need to think, Eddie made his choice for the next duel in a rather straightforward manner .
Dan Dong was the mainstay heavy soldier for the Bierlia squadron . A heavy soldier is an occupation that is considered hard to counter against . Ranged soldiers were the only occupation that was a counter to them, abet a soft one . As for the other occupations, they could only maintain an equal playing field . With Tianjing's ranged soldiers being rather lacking in firepower, Eddie's choice had reduced the possibility of being counter to the lowest degree . Despite Dan Dong's abilities being absolutely useless against ranged soldiers, this was the best choice he could make . With Grai already appearing in the 1st duel, the only one that could threaten Dan Dong was Emily . However, a heavy soldier was the best counter against an assassin! This was the strength of their Bierlia squadron!
As for Tianjing's heavy soldier by the name of Ba-something . . . he's a complete noob . Although he possesses an almost defence level of strength, Dan Dong wasn't going to be a stationary target waiting to get hit . With that weak mind of his, that Ba-something will become a piece of trash in the battlefield . Since the beginning, Eddie did not even give a care about the former . What's more, from a mental aspect, how could his opponent be willing to give up the advantage they had to obtain after that much difficulty!
"Okay! Bierlia has chosen to send out their mainstay heavy soldier, Dan Dong, for the 2nd duel!" announced Wind God as he wiped the cold sweat off his brow . He was almost unable to continue his job after the earlier bout of embarrassing actions he had made . "In the current situation, sending a heavy soldier out for the duelling phase is undoubtedly a considerably sound choice . It's now Tianjing's turn to make their selection . Having brought to us such an upset in the 1st duel to gain this advantage, the Tianjing squadron will definitely not waste it . I can boldly predict that Tianjing would select to send up a range soldier of theirs . When facing a heavy soldier, . . . cough cough…"
Before the host, Wind God could finish his prediction, the Tianjing squadron had already made their selection .
They had chosen their heavy soldier Barran Gestalt to participate in the 2nd duel . This caused Wind God's face to turn black with anger . "Those bastards really want to walk the untrodden path, huh!" When the news of this decision was broadcasted on the Skylink, a lot of people immediately guffawed in laughter .
Nonetheless, the host was already fuming . After being embarrassed by the outcome of the first duel, his face had long turned black with anger . Now, he wanted to find a way out of this predicament he was in!
"Looks like the Tianjing squadron's really "arrogant", huh . They r6
eally don't value to advantage they had gained after so much difficulty . Instead of sending out a ranged soldier to counter their opponent's heavy soldier, they have actually sent out their own mainstay heavy soldier! Who's an extremely young freshman!" all of a sudden, Wind God felt that brother Ruo Zhi's spirit had entered his body, causing his thoughts to flow out freely .
"What a horrible and intelligent choice! They've not held on tightly to the advantage they've gotten, and have instead betted on the second coming of a miracle? Are they leaving their fate up to the heavens? I've heard that the Tianjing squadron's captain, Wang Zhong, had gotten full marks for the theoretical test in the 2nd elimination round . However, from the looks of their choice of selection, I've got to say that he too much of an armchair strategist! With such completely daydreaming captain, that's why they were evaluated to only be of C rank, even with a soldier like Grai in their ranks! I personally feel that there will be no suspense at all in this duel between heavy soldiers! Without even talking about experience and fame and just looking at their results from the elimination rounds, Barran's score was a mere B-, while Dan Dong obtained an A-, and is also ranked 37th among all of the 4 competition zones! A considerably astonishing result! By taking the next duel, the Bierlia squadron still has the chance to defeat Tianjing with a score of 4:1!"
Standing on the announcement podium, Wind God sent his spittle flying in all directions, his emotions soared through the roof as he loudly proclaimed his standing . At this moment, the supporter of the Bierlia squadron started to reclaim their lost territory on the Skylink live broadcast chat . However, Tianjing's counter-attack now possessed some force behind them . Regardless of what the Bierlia squadron supporters were sprouting, Tianjing had cleanly won the first duel . This caused their supports to have some confidence to lead a counterattack . What's more, those students who had seen Barran face off against Adolf were now brimming with anticipation . The latter had already created a miracle during that time . Who's going to say that it won't happen for the 2nd and 3rd time!
On the Skylink live broadcast chat, the supporters of Bierlia Academy finally regained their life back .
"Isn't that the eastern region's brother nervous from the TOP5 laughs?"
"The 7-second real man!"
"Don't be too fast to beat him down . That heavy soldier had an astonishing performance in the offense test in the heavy soldier arena . His offensive strength is very outstanding . "
"So what if he has an outstanding offensive strength if he can't defend against his opponent's attacks! His opponent would have pummeled him with 10 punches before he can even return a single punch! He's just a live target! No matter how powerful his attacks are, it's just a decoration!"
"Go go senior Dan Dong! Stand up, Bierlia Academy! Don't give that weakling squadron any more chances!"
"4:1! 4:1!"
tage, Dan Dong had already locked all of his focus on the seemingly young and immature heavy soldier standing before him .
He was not Yingren, and did not possess any terrifyingly ridiculous talent . However, he was the definitely the centre pillar of the Bierlia squadron, possessing a solid and sturdy heavy soldier foundation and outstanding stability . This was the reason why even Eddie would feel relieved to trust his back to the former . Regardless of his opponent, a man that could make others feel at ease would absolutely not underestimate anyone .
Yesterday, after confirming that Tianjing would be their opponents for the first round, he had already started to analyze in detail on the member line up of the Tianjing squadron . While doing so, this heavy soldier Barran had left an especially deep impression in him .
From the footage of the elimination round, he had taken notice of the S rank performance his opponent had made in the offense test . What's more, he had only relied on a shoulder slam . As for his other aspects, they were frankly extremely ordinary . Despite it being undeniable that he had lost his calm due to nervousness in the defense test, a heavy soldier that didn't even have any defensive skills wouldn't be able to use the excuse of nervousness to plug all of his weaknesses .
Being all too clear about heavy soldiers, Dan Dong knew that the various aspects of his opponent's physique all did not point to him being an outstanding heavy soldier . What's more, his strength also wasn't stable . Such a degree of undulation wasn't normal . Therefore, all of this evidence pointed to him being weak as a whole . Wanting to unleash the might of his shoulder slam might be a result of him possessing some kind of explosive special ability . However, special abilities like that were considered to be of the fanciful tyle . Therefore, if Dan Dong could block a strike from his opponent, that would equate to the latter having exhausted all of his abilities .
Although Dan Dong appeared to be casually hoisting a heavy runic shield, one that wasn't large, about half the size of a tower shield . However, it was more suitable towards defending against explosive types of incisive heavy smashes .
"Come . " said Dan Dong in an indifferent tone, sounding as though he was giving advice to a junior . With his opponent being an emotional tyle, setting himself as the lead would be extremely beneficial for him on the mental standpoint .
However, Barran had a resolute expression on his face, appearing completely unlike his embarrassingly childish and nervous self during the elimination round . Having gained quite a experiences in his journey of this CHF competition, he was no longer constantly nervous about everything he was about to do . Nonetheless, the pressure from the impending fight was still present
As he prepared to walk onto the stage, Wang Zhong suddenly shouted out . "Disregard the shield, and put your all into this fight!"
In the aspect of defense, Barran's standard could be considered to be the absolute weakest amongst the heavy soldiers within the CHF final competition . In such a scenario, focusing on offense was the only way that he could obtain victory . Barran's unique advantages were in group battle defense and an offensive orientated physique . Although emotional type heavy soldiers don't possess stability in their strength, it was good enough to attempt for the creation of a miracle .
Having reached this stage, there was already no need for Wang Zhong to continue his training of Barran . What he required the latter to do now was to show his strength for the world to see .
Upon seeing Barran ditching his shield before walking straight up the stage, it had immediately caused an intense wave of debates to rise from the audience gallery . At his moment, the Skylink live broadcast chat feed had exploded in naked ridiculement . One had to know that his opponent, Dan Dong, was one of the TOP 40 heavy soldiers in the federation! That was the tried and tested rankings!
