Chapter 452
As for 1 vs 5 . Oh please, that's the Divine Dragon Academy for goodness sake . They weren't Stuart, or the A rank squadron that was wrecked by Gui Hao . They had two Mo's List existences, with one of them even being among the 10 great soldiers that stood at the highest peak within the CHF . In a 1-on-1, no one dared to say they held an absolute guarantee to obtain victory over him, what more with 4 of his squadron members by his side .
Furthermore, did they really think that the Divine Dragon Academy was that stupid? Even if Wang Zhong did really propose such an inconceivable request, the Divine Dragon Academy would never accept it . They had the pride as one of the S rank seedling squadrons, and would also disapprove of such an offer . Being poised for victory, there was no reason why they would accede to such a rude and brazen request . That indeed was a far-fetched daydream .
Naturally, if Wang Zhong were to really do it, Gui Hao would feel extremely pleased .
Even though Carolyn had yet to accept himself, in Gui Hao's point of view, he already viewed Carolyn as his woman . There was no man out there who would be willing for any media gossip or scandal to happen between his woman and other men! It wasn't acceptable even if it were fake!
If not for the ongoing CHF, and if it weren't for Tianjing receiving the focused attention of so many people, Gui Hao would have already used some methods to vent his anger and resentment . However, he could only keep it in and simmer . Now, it seemed that he did not need to wait that long after all . As long as Tianjing lost today's match and fell from the god's altar, they would no longer be in the spotlight of the millions . Wanting to sort out a mere commoner at that time would be as easy as squashing an ant under his feet .
"What's the matter with that Grai? Poisoned?" a wrinkle formed on Divian's forehead as she sent those messages to Carolyn . Although her bosom friend had yet to respond to any of her messages, Divine knew that Carolyn was definitely paying attention to this match . Grai's peculiar actions during that instant had indeed confounded her . She absolutely refused to believe that it was due to a problem with his body . However, something like poison would be going slightly too far . Once the organizing committee found out about it, even the Zhao Family would be unable to bear the consequences . That Zhao Zimo shouldn't be that stupid .
"Pollen hyper allergy . "
Carolyn quickly replied Divian's questions .
"Ah?" Divian clearly didn't expect a such an answer . Looks like the other great families were truly more incredible on the aspect of intelligence gathering than her own . If that was Grai's weakness, although it would not result in too spectacular of a win, it was a weakness that could be exploited .
"There's a record of it on the medical team's information on participants . What's more, it's too easy to obtain information on Tianjing . There's a record of him being hospitalized in Tianjing's public hospital to be treated for hyper pollen allergy, and there's utterly nothing done to conceal this fact . Anyone who wants to find out can easily pull up this information up . " replied Carolyn while shaking her head . "If Tianjing had better luck, they might have been the ones to create history… what a pity!"
Before becoming famous, no one paid attention to Tianjing . However, once they had entered the view of the great families, all the weaknesses of their squadron members would be dug up . If the great families really wanted to be vicious, they would definitely not stop at something as simple as pollen . The only reason why Tianjing could win in the past was due to the various great families not placing them in their eyes . Such an invisible and untouchable counter could be said to be the most frightening of counters .
"Now, it's time for Tianjing to make their selection! With them losing the right to select later, who will they send up for the next duel!"
At this moment, everyone had focused their attention on the Tianjing squadron preparation area . From the looks of it, Tianjing had already settled on their strategy, as not long after their huddle, a female walked out from there .
"The one going on stage now is their vice-captain, Scarlet!" Wind God shouted out . "The hot 1 vs 5 challenge that many of the fans on Skylink were clamouring about did not happen . "
"That's a given . Tianjing's arrogance isn't that ridiculous, and they would not underestimate the intelligence of their opponents . " said Ruo Zhi with a smile . "Vice-captain Scarlet . I've heard a past rumour of her originally being the appointed captain for Tianjing Academy, before she had personally given up her position to Wang Zhong . This decisive choice had allowed for Tianjing to obtain its current results . "
"I've also heard that she and Wang Zhong had something ambiguous going on between them!" Wind God spread the gossip with a mischievous look on his face .
"It's just some unconfirmed media gossip . There's no need to mention it here, little Wind . " said Ruo Zhi in a faint smile as he put a stop to Wind God's ridicule . Frankly speaking, Ruo Zhi did not have much of a good impression towards this fellow, who had relied on roasting Tianjing to skyrocket his fame . When one's popularity shot up too quickly, it would only lead to a worsening bottom line when casting . No one understood this more clearly than Ruo Zhi .
Even after tossing away his neutral standing for this match, Ruo Zhi still had rather good impressions about Tianjing and All Mouthy King, both who had risen up from the commoner masses . "Vice-captain Scarlet plays a rather important role within the Tianjing squadron, and has contributed significantly to Tianjing's promotion during the elimination rounds, especially in the group battle against Bella Dean . Her control over the combat range is one of the critical factors that allowed their simultaneous multi-target strategy to succeed . With the current situation of this match, if Tianjing chooses to give up on the second duel, they would definitely send a substitute up, and conserve Scarlet's strength for the group battle . However now, she has come up and participated in the duel phase . Tianjing's intent is already clear for all to see . They really want to go all out!"
"The Divine Dragon Academy has already made their selection . Seems like there's no hesitation on their side . From the looks of it, they have already made various sorts of preparations against every member of Tianjing . The person walking on stage now is their mainstay assassin, Zhao Wuying, and she's also the only female member in the Divine Dragon squadron!" Ruo Zhi felt like sighing in sorrow . "This is a match of an assassin against a ranged soldier . . . I've to say that the Divine Dragon Academy is indeed not leaving any chances for Tianjing after gaining the advantage of personnel selection . They already have the advantage in the duel phase, yet they have actually gone all out to make a counter towards their specific combat roles!"
"An S rank assassin, against a ranged soldier who only managed to obtain a B ranked evaluation during the elimination rounds despite going all out . Frankly speaking, even before the start of this duel, I feel that I can already announce the final results!" commented Wind God with a smile . "Since there's still a little bit of time before the start of the second duel, let's review the popularity polls on Skylink for the two squadrons . The portion of audience members who are predicting Divine Dragon Academy's victory has risen greatly to 84%, and this number is still rising! As for this matchup of assassin against ranged soldier, Zhao Wuying's personal popularity votes has reached 97%! Everyone, please ignore the remaining 3%! There are all kinds of people on Skylink . However, even the fans of Tianjing can only choose to discard their votes for this duel!"
As the voices of the commentators continued to ring out from the casting podium, the humming din within the arena continued to ring incessantly in everyone's ears . The increasingly loud cheers for the Divine Dragon Academy had already become the standard background noise in the arena . They had a good opening, and had even dealt with their opponent's prince . They already seemed to have victory in their grasp; in contrast, the Tianjing fans appeared to be in a slump .
Although Scarlet stepping onto the stage had caused quite a few Tianjing supporters to shout their supportive chants, regardless of how they roared out, all of their cheers seemed to lack confidence . Mixed alongside with the cheers for the Divine Dragon Academy, they appeared even weaker and powerless .
Nonetheless, all of these weren't able to affect the emotions that Scarlet was currently feeling .
She had made the decision to step out onto the stage for this second duel . Frankly speaking, the chances of Tianjing obtaining victory were rather bleak . Regardless of how much confidence Wang Zhong had, they needed a victory from one of their remaining squadron members in the duel phase for Tianjing to have any possibility of continuing on in this match . Faced with the current situation where they had the disadvantage in personnel selection, wanting to oppose their opponent via an occupation counter was impossible .
Just now, Hymin had proposed for Wang Zhong to snatch the victory for the 2nd duel, allowing them to get back the advantage of personnel selection, in order to obtain a chance to counter the occupation of their opponent's selection . However, that was honestly quite meaningless .
Firstly, Wang Zhong needed to oversee the duels all the way to the final one, as he was the only one who would be able to endure the humongous pressure that came with protecting Tianjing's last line of defence . If not, an easy victory by him would result in the massive pressure of "winning would bring us hope, losing would remove us for this CHF" to the other squadron members, which the others were absolutely unable to shoulder . Without even talking about this match, their minds and spirits might instantly collapse .
Furthermore, with their understanding of the other three members of the Divine Dragon Academy's main lineup, none of them, be it Barran, or Emily, or Scarlet felt they had the capability to counter any of those three .
It appeared that choosing anyone would have the same result . Only by fighting in the face of mortal danger, without leaving anything to luck, and giving their utmost, would they have a sliver of hope for victory .
