Chapter 609: 609
Naturally, the audience weren't just the only main characters here, as the cameras broadcasted via the various large screens present in the stadium panned across the VIP podium and the participant's viewing galleries from time to time .
The was no lack of bigshots present in the VIP podium . If they were here to watch the match between Heavens' Fate and Stuart for the sake of cheering for the elites of the Federation, their attendance for today's match was solely for the purpose of observing the performance of Tianjing . All of them knew how popular and formidable Tianjing had become . However, their exact degree of strength was yet to be determined . Now, everyone's perception rests on this upcoming match .
The star mainstays of the various squadrons have all turned up in full force . S ranked squadrons like Seer, Torres, Bella, A and A+ ranked squadrons like Blazing Angels, Mammoth and Asuna Ocean Goddess were all present . Even Martial Ghost Divine Emperor, with the exception of Gui Hao, had arrived in full force .
Leading her squadron, Gui Xinying sat in a rather conspicuous location . There wasn't much of any nail-biting, tooth clenching expressions of pain on the faces of most of the Martial Ghost Divine Emperor squadron members . Due to the new shuffling of resources among the youths hailing from the Gui Family, these youths had obtained quite a substantial amount of resources allocated to them . With Gui Hao's overly independent behaviour and bombastic ego, he had dipped his hands into quite a bit of the resources originally allocated to them . It would be alright if that was all to it . However, not only did he have a short temper, he would flare out and beat people from time to time . On the contrary, Gui Xinying clearly was markedly different from him . Therefore, other than a few of Gui Hao's stanch subordinates, the majority of the members present didn't hold too much of a grudge against Tianjing, the perpetrator for their loss and the reshuffling of resources, though some level of uncomfortable was understandable .
Among the audience, there were many who were keeping a neutral stance for this match . Despite that, everyone was extremely curious to see exactly how black of a black horse this Tianjing really was .
Naturally, the Gui Family wasn't the biggest shots present in the viewing gallery .
Just like yesterday, the best seats within the viewing gallery were left for the 2 other semifinalists .
Heaven's Fate and Stuart .
After the end of yesterday's match, there were many obstinate Stuart fans that made declarations that their beloved squadron would never rest after their loss, and that they would definitely find ways to take revenge for their defeat .
However, from the looks of it now, Stuart did not do anything that actions that would warrant restlessness . In fact, Carolyn was currently engaging in a hushed conversation with Mo XIngchen while having a faint smile on her face, with them laughing merrily from time to time . Clearly, they appeared to be having a rather delightful conversation . One had to admit the formidable might of Carolyn from this display, as she had turned a disadvantage into an advantage of her own . Naturally, she had already made ample display of her talents and strength, with the potential might of her Heart's Sword giving her a high possibility of surpassing Mo Wen in the future, After all, Mo Wen was a year older than her, and a year at their age was exceedingly important towards the cultivation of a person's Spiritual Soul, not that he cared about it at all .
The rumours of Stuart's so-called narrowmindedness was defeated by this atmosphere hanging in the viewing gallery . Frankly speaking, despite being eliminated in yesterday's match, Stuart was still able to maintain an extremely high degree of sportsmanship in their behaviours and actions . Not only did they appear genial in front of the audience, they also seated themselves in the shoes of the average citizens while viewing this match . Clearly, there was no conclusion to be made from their actions .
Although such displays have incited slight disappointment in the hearts of fans that were thirsting for some action, the actions of the Stuart squadron, especially with Carolyn's magnanimous behaviour, had caused the more intelligent people among the audience to remove their gaze from yesterday's match and place them full on the upcoming one .
At this moment, some of the statistics of Tianjing and Grozny were being displayed on the big screens . With this, those among the audience who were incomparably worried about Barran's injuries were finally able to get an answer to their questions in the form of the name list of today's participants .
Barran's name had appeared on the namelist .
"Looks like there's no problem with Barran's recovery . 8 whole days of rest and adjustment is ample time for him to recover and adapt to his current form . I've heard that vice-captain Mario from the Blazing squadron had put in quite some effort to aid in this . Ha ha . I believe that the Tianjing squadron, and even Grozny, are extremely appreciative of this . "
"That's right . To the honest and frank Grozny squadron, it is obviously not their style to take advantage of other people's difficulties . Using brute strength to subdue their opponents is a favourite activity for soldiers hailing from the northern regions . "
"That brings to the question . Are you favouring the Grozny squadron over Tianjing for this match, brother Ruo?"
Now hailed as the emperor of predictions of this CHF, Ruo Zhi's prediction had been somewhat of a hot interest for many people . With a faint smile, he replied, "That's not the case . Frankly speaking, I'm personally more inclined towards Tianjing . After all, I'm also an All Mouthy King fan . Furthermore, everyone knows that when it comes to a life-or-death elimination situation, the final victors rests heavily on the captain VS captain duel . Clearly, everyone here is extremely interested in the possibility of Wang Zhong and Vladimir clashing head-on . In most situations, the squadron that wins the captain VS captain duel will clinch victory for the match . I believe that there's no one out there that have any reason to doubt the personal strength of All Mouthy King . Although captain Vladimir's extremely strong, I'm still inclined towards a 50:50 odds situation should a duel breakout . "
"Ha ha . Victory being dependent on the captain VS captain duel appears to be the iron fast rule of the CHF . However, one cannot place too much emphasis on this . Although Tianjing's twin stars have surmounted all the difficulties they have encountered thus far, they have to deal with Grozny now! Furthermore, all of Grai's moves should have been researched through by Grozny . Frankly speaking, although he is extremely strong, he isn't on the same dazzling level as captain Wang Zhong . If he loses as in the vanguard duel, it's nigh impossible for Tianjing to bring this match into the group battle phase . Nevertheless, all in all, Tianjing still has some disadvantage going into this match . "
Chen Yu'er proceeded to look through the provided information and statistics while continuing with her commentary . "These can be seen from the prediction polls for this match . From the polls conducted throughout the various military academies, Grozny squadron holds more than 50% of the votes . As for the internal polls between the participants and experts, I believe the odds are more than 70% for Grozny's victory . This is shared with the polls from some of the media outlets . The only exception to this is the one conducted on Skylink . That's a mysterious place, with a different polling result . In that poll, Tianjin has an 80% odds advantage over Grozny . "
"Ha ha . After all, Skylink's the domain of our captain Wang Zhong, our All Mouthy King . From my latest checking, Tianjing's odds have now risen to 85%! That's basically unreasonable . " Ruo Zhi took over with a chuckle . "There's too many brother King fans present over there . Such a result isn't astonishing at all, owing to successive miracles Tianjing has created over the past few matches!"
"That's right! In the end, a prediction is just a prediction . Everyone's waiting for the start of this match, waiting for the real victor to appear! I can see the enthusiastic expressions hanging on everyone's faces! The viewership numbers on the Skylink has already passed 2 . 4 million! What a terrifying number, even before the start of the match! And there's even the possibility of breaking yesterday's record! The stadium is already as packed as yesterday's match! The only thing that can be said, is that All Mouthy King is unmatched in his popularity on Skylink!"
"Okay! Ladies and Gentlemen, the match is about to start! Our head referee for today's match will be our chairwoman of the CHF organizing committee, Long Mei'er, who will now announce the participants for today's match! Let's give our hands together for our head referee, Long Mei'er!"
Upon the announcement, Long Mei'er had already stood up . Seeing her raise her hand, the propaganda clips playing across the various large screens, the rumbling, loud background music, as well as the berserk cheers and roars from the audience turned into silence in an instant, as countless fans looked emotionally towards her, as well as the Tianjing and Grozny namelist in her hands .
With a faint smile, Long Mei'er read out the first name of the list .
"Grozny Academy, Vladimir . "
Vasilyevich was the first squadron to grace the stadium . Be it the overall or individual strength of its members, Vasilyevich clearly possessed the absolutely superior position in this match .
Taking the lead, Vladimir stepped onto the stage . The reputation of the Ice Prince was well known among every household of the Federation . His heaven-defying appearance was unlike the genial and pretty boy looks associated with the southerners, yet was filled with incomparable handsomeness . With his radiant skin and smile coupled with his explosive musculature, he gave people the impression of being the blessed son of the heavens!
A quick moment later, various statistics, as well as handsome images of Vladimir, appeared on the large screens .
Being one of the 5 upper families of the Federation that followed their inheritances from the golden era, Vasilyevich, Vladimir was the sole legal successor to the family . Unlike the other families where the strongest take all, Vladimir had an incomparable stable status and position within the Vasilyevich family, so much so that his status would not even shake should he make any mistakes . This was something that was decided since his birth! He was born to become the next ruler of the northern regions! Outstanding genes coupled with outstanding authority as well as his frightening talent had shaped him into a real king!
Quite a few bigshots present in the VIP podium were here due to their great interest in the future king of the northern region . Although he was at present just a future "feudal lord", with his scope of influence being weaker than Carolyn's, he trumps her with his incomparable firm and unshakable position in Federation . Naturally, the powerful might of his family was also one of the biggest reasons being the dread and high regard shown to him .
"King of the northern regions! King of the northern regions!"
Ho Ho Ho Ho~~~
At this moment, the brother King fans in the audience remained largely silent, with most of them engaging in whispered discussions among one another . However, incomparably loud howling sounds suddenly erupted from the viewing gallery situated in the northern section!
Although the roars from the northerners were united as one, it wasn't quite like the loud chants that came from the cheering squads that came to support Martial Ghost Divine Emperor . Nevertheless, there wasn't any of the mechanical stiffness in their emotional filled berserk roars! Roars that penetrated right into one's soul! Roars that was filled with might, so powerful that it would reverberate throughout the world!
This sudden eruption of roars almost scared the shit out of those weaker-hearted people in the audience .
"Noriba, Pomo, De Gea, Leninski!"
The main force of Vasilyevich followed closely behind Vladimir, with each of their appearances being followed up by those terrifying roars . The cheers have already past the level of support, so much so that it made people feel as though there were innumerable wild beasts roaring and howling at them . Despite it being a single viewing gallery with 30-40 thousand people seated in them, they appeared to create a level of commotion equivalent to over 200 thousand people, causing the tens of thousands of Brother King fans to turn pale in shock!
Frankly speaking, this was just like the northern regions .
Many brother King fans proceeded to look at each other in shock, as all of them had always felt that they, being brother King fans, were the most craziest of fans out there, something that they pride themselves rather highly for . However, compared to the northerners, the word crazy cannot be tossed around casually, as their raging hormones were capable of causing one to question their lives in an instant .
"I really don't know the bottom line of how strong Vasilyevich's lineup is this year . We might be able to get a glimpse of it today . Let's see how Tianjing reacts to this . "
"Indeed,Grozny's very strong . If they chose an appropriate strategy, it's possible for them to sweep Tianjing in complete victory . "
The majority of the stars from the various eliminated squadrons present in the participant viewing galleries maintained their stance towards this match . This included the people who had lost to Tianjing, like Bobo Torres, Alasi and Brooks . Despite having good impressions of Tianjing, the majority of them did not look favourably on them winning this match . Nevertheless, this wasn't a firm prediction, as firstly, there's no absolutes in combat . 2ndly, they were going along with the majority . Despite that, there was one voice that was clearly distinct from the rest .
"I still feel that Tianjing will win . " the one making this claim was Papada, saying those words with a tone that indicated his unwavering stance, as though everything he said was something obvious to everyone .
"Ha ha . Those words are subjective, captain Papada . I feel that…"
