Chapter 610
Nevertheless, there was no visible change to Carolyn's expression . Of course, she knew about the matters her family had made, though she made no reactions to Mo Xingchen's probing . It would be extremely beneficial for Stuart if she was able to obtain Wang Zhong as her subordinate, especially as a method to counter Mo Wen with .
Her personal emotions were there for the sake of the family . Naturally, that didn't mean that absolutely nothing had gone on between Wang Zhong and Carolyn . It was already a big favour from her to allow Wang Zhong this opportunity to join her .
With a faint smile, Carolyn replied, "There's a possibility for him to send anyone . Both captains Wang Zhong or Vladimir are extremely intelligent experts in strategic planning . Be it traps of counter traps, it was extremely hard to fully predict another's tactics . Therefore, it will most likely result in their luck . "
Mo Xingchen responded with a faint smile of her own . As of now, the Mo Family still had a somewhat amicable relationship with the Stuart Family . In fact, both families have identical views on certain aspects for the future, and would collaborate to ensure the stability of the Federation . Conflicts were there for unity, which wouldn't happen in the absence of the former .
The preparatory work for the stage had already been completed . After reading out the names of the participants, the head referee Long Mei'er proceeded to step down from the podium . With the signal given by the panel of referees, no hesitation was shown by Wang Zhong and Vladimir as they send out their vanguards .
The stadium instantly turned much quieter as everyone opened their eyes wide to see the 2 participants stepping forward .

A flurry of astonishing cries rang out upon the announcement of the 2 vanguards, as a large number of people had believed that Tianjing would give up the first duel . After all, Grai and Wang Zhong were the only 2 people from Tianjing that were able to stand toe-to-toe with the mainstays of Grozny . Before the start of this match, a great deal of people believed that they had already understood Wang Zhong's character to be extremely unorthodox and rule-bending . The word "everchanging" was the most apt word to describe Tianjing .
Perhaps, this was the "one size fits all" strategy .
On the other side, Vasilyevich had clearly gone with the more orthodox choice by sending out Pomo and keeping their other 2 trump cards, Vladimir and Noriba, to deal with Wang Zhong and Grai . After all, being the most stable mainstay within their ranks, having Pomo snatch the vanguard duel victory was clearly the most reasonable choice .
However, Tianjing appeared to have gained an advantage with this selection . Unlike Vladimir and Noriba, Grai clearly has a slight combat advantage over Pomo, who was a defensive-type heavy soldier . A soldier like him excels the most in group battles, though they would appear slightly lacklustre in solo duels .
However, there was no a single shade of surprise present on Vladimir's face . The Ice Prince was always brimming with confidence . Regardless of how Wang Zhong or Vladimir felt with each other's vanguard choice, the Tianjing fans were rather happy with the former's choice, showing it in the form of excited shouts and roars upon the announcement of Grai's name . As the latter walked up onto the stage, his elegance and grace caused a berserk atmosphere to descend upon the stadium once again, as shouts and roars rose into a crescendo .
"The most handsome male in the universe has graced the stage!"
"There's nothing out there that our Grai's cannon can't solve! If not, 2 cannon shots will do!"
"A single shot's enough to take down a dumb elephant!"
"No! Do waste our Grai's shots! Why not fire it towards me! I beg you! Please fire towards me!"
The shrieking coming from Grai's fangirls caused the entire stadium to descend into chaos .
AHHH . . .
A sneer appeared on Pomo's face, before unleashing a fierce stamp .
BOOM!
Red light sparkled as a giant shadow descended from the sky, landing heavily before Grai . Dust and rock chips flew out as cracks extended out from the spot he had landed on in all directions!
The massive figure before Grai appeared just like a small hill of muscles . Having just landed, Pomo still maintained a lowered stance . Although he was muscular as any ordinary top-class heavy soldier out there, his muscles were incomparably sturdy, appearing to be literally carved out of stone! Put together, he appeared to be carved out from a slab of granite!
WA . . .
Standing up slowly, he raised the massive, slightly-oversized shield in his hand . Despite looking extremely heavy and unwieldy, the shield was hefted around by Pomo as though it was as light as a toy . The flames appeared to burn within his eyes as he sent a deep and intense gaze towards Grai, so much so that it appeared to spew out from his eyes . In the next instant, a ferocious wave of suffocating intent shot out, causing people to feel an intense feeling of threat!
Standing before him unarmed was Grai . Clearly, using his bare hands was the most awkward choice he could make against a heavy soldier . Even sharp weapons would stand an extremely low chance of breaking Pomo's terrifying defences, what more so being unarmed?
However, none of the audience, and Ruo Zhi seemed to have any desire to ridicule Grai's choice . This was Tianjing! This was Grai! He was one of the 2 strongest members of the most miraculous squadron in this CHF! Without talking about going up empty-handed, people wouldn't have any issues if he were to wield an embroidery needle into combat!
"It appears that Grai has chosen to go bare handed to focus on speed . As for the issue of offence, the Hundred-Fold Palms he used to break Zhao Tianlong's defence doesn't seem to be lacking in that aspect . " Ruo Zhi started to rapidly commentate about the happenings for this duel between vanguards . "However, he is up against Pomo, a heavy soldier on the same level as Zhao Tianlong, a super defensive-type heavy soldier and his heavy shield! Of course, he is physically stronger, as well as possessing a defence above that of Zhao Tianlong's Indestructible Body . Therefore, I feel that Pomo's stronger in both offence and defence as opposed to Grai . Furthermore, strength will be useless if the attacks don't connect! Clearly, Grai possesses an absolute advantage in speed!"
"That's right! Tianjing are relying precisely on Grai's miraculous performance to defeat Martial Ghost Divine Emperor in the quarterfinals! One can just imagine how incredible Grai's speed is to be able to keep up with a top-class assassin like Gui Wulie! I believe that this will be the most troubling aspect that Pomo will have to deal with . "
Shrieks filled the stadium and Skylink while the 2 people on stage instantly entered into their combat state .
Pomo could feel a gaze coming from Grai that penetrated right into his bones . Vladimir had said that Tianjing was the most miraculous place he had ever known, and that appeared 2 people that hailed from there of whom he was unable to see through . Wang Zhong naturally was one of them, while the other was now standing right before him . Many people felt that Pomo had the capability to counter Grai . However, both Pomo and Vladimir were exceedingly clear that Noriba wasn't quite stable in combat . His fighting style was extremely offence-orientated, extremely unforgiving towards mistakes, and was extremely influenced by his emotions . Admittedly, he had created some miracles due to his hot-bloodedness, a small mistake in a duel against an expert like Grai would cause him to lose the entire fight .
A sliver of red energy started to sparkle across Pomo's granite-like muscles, causing his already formidable aura to continue to rise . If one were to close their eyes to get a feel of the stage, one would not be able to sense Pomo's presence! Instead, one would just feel as though a massive piece of rock had appeared on the stage!
Rock-transformation?
Grai's eyes sparkled with interest . Earth attribute special ability? That doesn't seem like it? Compared to the dense earth that would appear when that ability was activated, Pomo's Rock-transformation was more akin towards the rock-solid ice created from an ice attribute special ability . This also could be from a fusion between ice and earth attribute special abilities! Despite him not blasting his aura out, Grai was about to feel the convergence of a high level of power within Pomo .
His opponent definitely was an expert . Furthermore, that rock-transformation wasn't something as simple as raising his defence . With a slight bow, Grai placed his left hand behind his back and his right before him .
"Please . "
A gentle wave of Soul Power instantly rippled out from Grai . As soft as a gentle breeze, it blew out right towards Pomo .
"Hu . "
A rock-like pair of eyes suddenly narrowed, before Pomo took a left step forward .
Bang!
As though the signal to start fighting has been given, a terrifying burst of pure power surged out from his foot . Instantly shattered the rock-hard ground beneath him, the wave of invisible power rapidly expanded out from the cracks formed .
Whoosh…
Grai instantly disappeared from his standing position as the competition bell rang . The speed of an assassin, coupled with the physical strength and spiritual soul of a soldier! Despite his slender and delicate looks, Grai's body appeared to possessed inconceivable power, taking him only an instant before appearing right before Pomo!
What speed was that??
Despite taking the speed Grai had displayed in the earlier matches into consideration, Pomo seemed to be shocked by what he had just witnessed!
As shown the various large screens, Pomo appeared to be utterly shocked by Grai's speed, to the point that he had not even mustered any defences up! The audience stared dumbfoundedly as Grai sent a punch rumbling towards Pomo's chest! The latter did not even care about raising his heavy shield to defend himself!
As his punch landed, he could feel the tyrannical sturdiness of his opponent's body . Despite that, Grai did not give up this opportunity, instantly sending 13 strikes from his fair, yet powerful palms, each one able to rip wild beasts apart, right into Pomo's body! After the final strike, Pomo was sent flying over ten metres back, before rolling on the ground with his large shield still fastened to his hand .
The entire stadium was dumbfounded by what they saw . Was Pomo joking around?
Did he really think that Grai was faking his speed?
This duel had come to an end like that?
Silence hung over all of the viewing galleries, while the muscular men in the northern viewing gallery that were here to support Vasilyevich were utterly incapable of believing what they had just seen .
Despite all of the stunned reactions, Grai responded with a mere faint smile . His opponent appeared to be extremely confident with his defence, and was rather skilled in dealing with his punch . The strange rock-like texture over his muscles had negated at least 60% of the incoming force, ending up with a punch that wasn't even able to harm his skin .
Rumble . . .
Without waiting for the audience to let their jaws hang lower, Pomo had already stood up . Flicking away the dust on his body, he sending a smile towards Grai while saying, "Interesting . However, this attack is useless against a northerner soldier . "
This fucker . . .
"That's right! That's a real man!"
"Hey, sissy! Use some strength! That's not painful at all!"
A large number of bald-headed Grozny fans in the northern viewing gallery started to jump up and down, banging against the metal railings before them as they roared crazily in reply .
"Fuck, did that fellow learn from brother King?"
"The fighting clan of the northern regions really are terrifying . " The brother King fans were all in shock by what they saw . This was the CHF semifinals, and he was up against the prince of Tianjing! Yet, Pomo still dared to treat this duel like a game! Before talking about his strength, his guts alone was, without a doubt, formidable!
With a smile hanging on his face, Grai proceeded to clench his left hand, while Soul Power rippled out from his body . In the next instant, Grai took action!
Despite being dozens of metres away, the people in the viewing gallery were already capable of feeling the terrifying pressure coming from Grai's fist . This time, Pomo no longer decided to take this fist with his body, as he waved his 2-metre tall heavy shield nimbly before him .
BANG!
Grai's fist collided with Pomo's heavy shield! Everyone could clearly see that Grai's punch was multiple times stronger than his earlier punch! The frightening eruption and clash of power from both sides shoved both of them backwards .
Thump .
Grai appeared to be sent flying back, while Pomo only took a heavy step backwards, despite both of them enduring the same rebounding force . If he didn't use a move similar to the Hundred-Fold Palms, it would be extremely unlikely for Grai's barehanded attacks to break through Pomo's Rock-transformation-enforced defences .
Choosing not to wield any weapons showed the absolute confidence Pomo had in his close combat abilities . Looks like Grai had underestimated his defences! However, before Pomo could think about this, he felt a dangerous attack about to slam down towards his head .
