Chapter 1434: Chapter 1146 Targeted_3
The battle held almost no suspense, and no one was able to ultimately stand out and stop Henki’s advance. Thus, Henki once again advanced to the sixth squad with a victorious record of all wins.
When Henki advanced, the people of the seventh squad actually all breathed a sigh of relief as if a disaster had finally passed. At this moment, as they looked at the members of the sixth squad, their eyes were filled with schadenfreude.
Who else could stop him? At this time, the entire recruit camp was filled with this question.
The next day it was the fifth squad’s turn for promotion matches. To prevent La Sang from immediately holding promotion matches to help Henki ascend, the instructor of the fifth squad made a last-minute decision for this promotion match. However, after reflecting on it, he realized that he had indeed been impulsive at that time; there was absolutely no need to rush the promotion matches. It would have been possible to wait for La Sang’s move, but since the order had been issued, it naturally could not be retracted.
The promotion matches were held as scheduled.
And at this time, Elsa was in this fifth squad.
Compared to Henki, the role that Elsa played was much more normal. Her family had always been from the military, and her strength was not bad either. It just felt like she was lacking a little bit of opportunity, and now was the time to push this character to the real pinnacle!
The battle began, and compared to that perplexing Greatsword, Elsa’s energy sword didn’t have any remarkable features. However, even though both used energy swords, the level of swordsmanship could vary greatly. For Elsa, not to mention these new recruits, even the veterans didn’t merit her attention. The Forgotten Ones relied too much on their alloy energies, and while piloting their Alloy Armor, they never considered that one day a race might suddenly appear to become their enemy. Hence, their combat experience, even with regular internal training, was actually quite limited.
But Elsa was different. As a member of the Celestial Clan, she had borne the name of a prodigy since childhood and received elite education. Although she later had her Light Wing severed and was thrown into the Human Realm, that knowledge wasn’t lost. Then, Elsa encountered Long Yi. Long Yi was a true fighting expert on Earth back in his days, a master whose techniques were comprehensive and thoroughly integrated. And under the name of Giant, he taught Elsa the most straightforward and practical skills without any superfluous moves. Building upon the foundation that Long Yi had established, Elsa, once grown up and returned to the Heaven Realm, directly participated in two major battles: one against the Ghost Spirits and the other against these White-skinned beings. If we talk about combat experience and skills, ten thousand White-skinned beings could never be Elsa’s match.
Moreover, Elsa’s combat skills were particularly well-suited for wielding an energy sword.
In terms of sword speed, she surpassed everyone; in terms of predicting the enemy’s movements, she surpassed every one of them; in terms of body control, she was even better than each of them. Under such overwhelming superiority in all aspects, it could be said that if Elsa did not fear her performance being too exceptional, she could have eliminated all the enemies before her in under a minute!
In the face of such an enormous power disparity, even thinking about losing was completely out of the question!
So, without a doubt, Elsa advanced to the fourth squad with a flawless battle record.
Though they had lost, all the soldiers of the fifth squad did not feel dejected; on the contrary, they congregated to congratulate Elsa on her victory and even wished her an early entry into the regular army. This is the difference in treatment between the powerful and the weak. For The Forgotten, powerhouses are not to be surpassed but admired; whereas the weak are to be scorned.
Elsa’s victory naturally led her into the fourth squad. After the viewing of the match had ended, just as La Sang was about to speak, the instructor of the fourth squad suddenly said loudly, "Everyone prepare, we start promotion matches tomorrow!"
The fifth squad’s instructor chuckled coldly in his armor cockpit. Although he couldn’t see La Sang’s expression, he could imagine La Sang stomping with frustration. Clearly, La Sang was supporting the idiot Henki for his schemes and goals. With La Sang’s family’s mediocre position, they must be desperately hoping for any opportunity to save their family. Perhaps this fool Henki is part of their plans for family revival. But no matter what, they would absolutely not allow La Sang’s plans to proceed smoothly. By delaying Henki’s ascent for long enough, until their family behind the scenes figured out La Sang’s conspiracies, by then, Henki would no longer be valuable—who would care about his affairs?
La Sang did not speak, but from his body language, it was evident that he was very displeased.
But what bothered him even more came afterward.
"We’ll have our promotion matches the day after tomorrow," said the instructor of the third squad.
"And then we have our promotion matches," said the instructor of the second squad.
"After that, we hold the regular army promotion matches!" announced the instructor of the first squad.
At this point, almost everyone had understood that this was a concerted action against La Sang. Aside from the members of the sixth squad, almost everyone looked at La Sang with a sense of schadenfreude. La Sang was stunned for a moment, paused for a long time, and then with a frown said, "Free training today! Henki, follow me!"
This act almost confirmed the relationship between La Sang and Henki, providing evidence for various investigations and speculations. And now, the intelligence systems of every family were frantically operating, trying to obtain all sorts of information about La Sang and Henki. Everyone wanted to know, what was really going on. How could an idiot suddenly grow strong, and what role did La Sang play in his growth? Who truly made Henki strong? (To be continued.
