Chapter 537
Nevertheless, Dicaprio was brimming with confidence, and so too was his squadron members . Their confidence stemmed from their continuous hard work, and the information pertaining to the 10 great families, which they had endlessly sifted and research through . Although Stuart had only known about them during this CHF, they had already treated Stuart, and Martial Ghost Divine Emperor as their opponents since a few years back! When you know yourself, you know your enemies! That way, you came come unscathed through a hundred battles! (2 quotes from Sunzi's "The Art of War")
Despite the world favouring Stuart, Giant God Peak knew in their hearts as they would definitely not have stage fright . Instead, they had some anticipation within their hearts, as from the start, their goal was to overturn the dominance Stuart and Martial Ghost Divine Emperor had in this CHF . The only factor right now was which one they would flip first .
Unlike Tianjing and Giant God Peak, the preparations undergone by the other squadrons were comparatively more relaxed . The Mo Family was still keeping to their own training schedule as though nothing as changed, while Napier Mo was still creating amusement wherever he was .
Over at the Stuart side, training was going as usual, with no special changes made . Carolyn did not mobilize any addition members from her family, as there was basically no need for her to do that .
On the side of Grozny, the training currently going on in their training grounds was still as fiery and explosive as ever . Under the cheers of the crowd, Noriba and Pomo were currently locked in a bout of arm-wrestling . People from the northern regions were always that bold and opened-minded . Naturally, compared to those muscularly built males, Vladimir's icy-cold style was comparatively different . Nevertheless, when placed within this atmosphere, it was not the only bit of the picture .
Perhaps being cold and hot-blooded were the greatest unique traits of the northern regions .
Laura really didn't expect for Copperfield to be able to enter the quarterfinals, as this fights in the CHF were truthfully too intense, even for her . Therefore, Copperfield had very low expectations for themselves . In fact, there were quite a few A ranked squadrons that were clamouring about pulling Copperfield down, dethroning them from their S rank status . Nevertheless, all of them were eliminated, while Copperfield still continued progressing through this CHF .
Naturally, Karkel, who was arranged by the Potter Family, was Copperfield's WMD(weapon of mass destruction) . Everyone was extremely accepting of this decision, with Karkel being quiet, yet extremely amiable . Nevertheless, he did not interact much with the other squadron members, with the only thing he did being to follow with Laura's arrangements .
He had always been living abroad . Despite being in the same age group as the other squadron members, his life experience was completely different from the others, causing him to appear as though he was living in a different world than the rest . Truthfully speaking,Karkel felt extremely envious of noisy banter that always happened between Anlor and Arnold, as that was a luxury he was incapable of imagining in his world .
Despite not speaking much during this period of time together, Karkel's attitude had started to change . In the beginning, he had treated everything he did as merely missions he had to complete . However, at this moment, he really wished to do something more for this squadron .
Laura's strength . . . was average . Nevertheless, she was a very good captain, and really loved to create a din . She was brimming with youthful vitality, yet did not possess the awful temper that great aristocratic family successors possessed . She was extremely respectful to him, and even treated him like her elder brother .
Such a world wasn't suitable for him . Nevertheless, he did not stop her from doing all of that .
Grozny . . . might cause fear in other people . However, in his eyes, everyone was the same .
Seer going up against Heaven's Fate wasn't good news for Divian . Frankly speaking, anyone would be better than the Mo Family . Nevertheless, they still bumped into the latter in the end .
There was no helping it, as there were too many matters that were implicated by the results of this quarterfinals . Nevertheless, there too many curses that were said within the Seer Family .
The only gripe was that anyone who wished to defeat Seer would not gain much of any honour or glory . For the record, this was the 4th time the Seer and Mo Families had faced off against each other in an important competition, with the previous 3 times ending in complete defeat .
However, the year, the Seer squadron definitely possessed the strongest lineup they had in years . They had her, Jormungar, as well as the hidden trump card Karl . Bad things can't happen for more than 3 times! This time, it was an opportunity for the Seer Family to wipe their embarrassment clean!
Before the start of the quarterfinals, the 8 strongest squadrons hailing from the Federation had already made clear cut goals and entered into their own individually decided mindsets .
Carolyn, Gui Hao, Mo Wen, Vladimir, Wang Zhong, Dicaprio, Divian, Laura, the 9 great CHF captains, were currently walking on their path towards becoming a hero!
7 days later, at 7 pm, the quarterfinals officially started, with the venue being the most luxurious arena within the entire Federation, the Stuart's Dimensional Arena Stadium!
That's right! Only the Stuart Family dared to give such a domineering name to their arena . When mankind walked out of the dark era, the Federation had undergone rapid development, especially in the past couple of years . Naturally, it had a great effect on the side of the 3 great empires . The economic situation of the Federation's main 100 cities was extremely good . Furthermore, the greatest enjoyment of this era was fighting . There were official competitions, as well as underground ones . As for now, the greatest official arena within the whole of the Federation was the Stuart's Dimensional Arena Stadium, which basically was the holy grounds for soldiers . Now only were the past CHFs held here, only the CHF finale had the qualifications to be hosted in this place . However, the magnitude of this CHF quarterfinals was if an unprecedented level . One had to know that this arena stadium also hosts the great meet between the Heroic Soul soldiers of the Federation, as well as duels between legendary soldiers! It could be said that not anyone possessed the qualifications to stand within it .
"Ladies and gentlemen, we can see before our eyes the holy grounds of brave soldiers---The Stuart Dimensional Arena Stadium!" Chen Yu'er shouted out in excitement, as this was the first time that she was able to sit on the caster's podium within this arena stadium .
Today was the first day of the quarterfinals . People around the world finally knew what it felt to be shocked when this arena stadium was officially opened to the public .
The entire oval construct spanned over 20 hectares, occupying a staggering 200 thousand square metres, while towering at 90 metres high . This was a height that exceeded the protective walls of many great cities! The east and west areas were 330 metres wide, while the north and south were 302 metres wide . Its interior was separated into 3 different levels of viewing galleries, and was able to house 100 thousand people . This number was just the number of seats present within . If one added in those that stood to watch as well as the working employees, that number would reach an astonishing 150 to 200 thousand!
From a bird's eye view, the entire stadium was laced with a dense array of gigantic steel plates which formed up its many layers . This layered space appeared just like the view one would get when looking at a different dimension, a view that was filled with a borderline science and illusionary feeling . This was how it got its name---The Dimensional Arena Stadium!
Without a doubt, architecture and construction have always been one of mankind's pride . Being the symbol and icon for Stuart City, countless honours and glory have been bourne by this arena stadium . Even people from the Federation would get shocked if they were to see it, much less the more illiterate, currently dumbfounded empire citizens . They were utterly unable to imagine exactly how such a construct was created!
It was as though they were living in 2 different times and space . It had to be said that the Federation's wealth and prosperity had left a great impact in the hearts of the audience from the empires . Frankly speaking, they did not like the competition style one single bit . With fights at the empires being much more violent and bloody in nature, they were simply unable to understand the CHF rules . To him, the losers would become the slaves of the victors . How could there be anything as good as the Federation! Nevertheless, everything shown about the Federation had fascinated them . It could be said that after this CHF, yet another wave of immigration flood would rise from the Tutankhamun empire .
"Existing and living are 2 separate concepts . Every living creature would always put in effort on the first one . However, only those sitting at the top of the food chain to become rulers would possess the qualifications to talk about the second! Being the capital of Earth, where mankind's culture is continued and propagated, the Federation has always shoulder mankind's inheritance, hopes and dreams . We used to struggle bitterly to live on, with everyone living in a precarious state . Where did we ever have the time and strength to develop and build such a construct? However, in these present times, we're finally able to make this step! This is a symbol of our transformation!" Ruo Zhi continued to fan the flames on Skylink, his voice continuing to rise as he spoke . A few of those words were requested by the officials, with the others being his heartfelt ones . "That's right! In the eyes of some, it might just be a construct, one that's merely bigger than others! However, in the eyes of anyone that's pursuing their dreams, this is a one-of-a-kind symbol!"
"I suddenly feel myself brimming with pride for being a member of the Federation!"
"Boo hoo hoo! I really want to go to the arena! My mother's not will to let me go! Looking for some rich person to help sponsor the 2000 credit ticket fee!"
"Let go of it, would you! 2000 credits are just enough for you to reach there . After that, you'll have to eat dirt due to being unable to return . "
"Don't be afraid, baby! The Federation won't let me starve to death!"
"Refugee camp application rejected . "
