147 One Punch a Person (Part 2)
When the drawing of lots ended, Ning Shi had already arranged the order of the participants. Luo Yao was first, Jiang Bichao second, and Zong Shangren third.
As for Miao Xinyue, because she was already over 18 years old, she was destined not to be selected for the national team. Therefore, she was only here to accumulate actual combat experience in this competition, and the order of her appearance would be later.
Seeing Ning Shi’s arrangement, although Jiang Bichao and Zong Shangren did not say anything, they were a little unhappy. After all, they had been cultivating hard for so long and had endured the pain and torture of the extreme body forging method. Everyone wanted to go on stage to compete.
With Luo Yao’s strength, Jiang Bichao and Zong Shangren probably wouldn’t have had a chance to fight if she were to fight.
Ning Shi said, “Luo Yao will go first in the first round. After that, Zong Shangren will go first. After that, Jiang Bichao will go first. We’ll take turns. All of you must fight for a one-versus-three victory and make a name for our school!”
Hearing Ning Shi’s words, the two of them suppressed the restlessness in their hearts.
On the commentary platform, as the results of the previous program were not bad, the four of them – Huang Jian, Liu Yunshi, Mou Zhenjiang, and Luan Limei were still partners in the competition.
Huang Jian took the lead to say, “The results of the drawing have been confirmed. The first match will begin soon. It will be a match between the number one school and the number one school. Coincidentally, the names of these two schools are very similar.
“Yunshi, which side do you support?”
Liu Yunshi was wearing a low-cut dress today. Unfortunately, it was too small, and her cleavage couldn’t be squeezed out. However, she still covered her chest to prevent herself from being exposed.
When she heard Huang Jian’s words, she played her supporting role. “I saw on the news that the First School is very powerful. I like the strong, so I support the First School.”
“Great minds think alike,” Huang Jian laughed. “The performance of strength-type awakeners in the National Awakeners’ Competition is too poor. I’m also optimistic about the First School.”
At this moment, the matchups for the first match were announced.
Luo Yao began to make her appearance.
She was 1.5 meters tall, and with her delicate and lovely face, it was hard to associate her with a strength type.
On her back was a long saber that was taller than her. The hilt of the long saber was already one foot above her head.
Luo Yao looked even more petite and adorable under the contrast of the long blade.
Huang Jian immediately took out the contestant’s information and began to introduce, “The first contestant sent by the First Strength School is called Luo Yao. She is 16 years old this year and has only been a strength-type awakener for two months.
“I’m going to announce that I’m going to change my stand. I support the First Strength School. Dear audience, it’s not that I’m not firm on my stand, but contestant Luo Yao is too cute.”
The live audience and live stream viewers were all amused by Huang Jian’s comedic commentary. However, everyone also agreed with Huang Jian’s words that Luo Yao was indeed very cute.
Huang Jian continued, “The person standing across from Luo Yao is one of the Gemini twins from the First School, Yan Guangxun.”
Yan Guanghe was 17 years old this year. According to the information, he was a fire-type ability awakener, and his aptitude had reached an astonishing A+ grade. He had become a Tier 3 awakener in less than three months.
“Professor Mou, could you please introduce us to the abilities and characteristics of Tier 3 elemental awakeners?”
“After an elemental awakener reaches Tier 3, not only can he release his special ability multiple times in a row, but he can also master at least one skill,” Mou Zhenjiang said.
The so-called skill was a high-level use of the ability.
For example, Yan Guangxun was a fire-type Awakener. When he was at Tier 2, he could only use the ability of fire crudely and simply throw fireballs.
After reaching Tier 3, he would be able to release the fire element in a specific way to form powerful skills, such as chain fireball, fire phoenix impact, and even defensive skills like the flaming sun armor.
The strength of a Tier 3 special ability user was determined by the speed at which they could release their skills, their ability to adapt, and the number of skills they had mastered. The more skills they had, the stronger they were.
However, learning skills required a lot of energy. Learning too many skills was not conducive to the advancement of an awakener’s level. The student had to grasp the scale well.
“Generally speaking, a Tier 3 special ability user who can master 3 skills is already very powerful!”
“As far as I know, Yan Guangxun has four skills,” Mou Zhenjiang added. “He’s the strongest among the Tier 3 awakeners.”
Before listening to the commentary, the audience only knew from the media that Yan Guangxun was very good, but they didn’t know why he was good.
After listening to Yan Zhenjiang’s explanation, everyone instantly understood that Yan Guangyan was indeed awesome.
Huang Jian was good at finding topics. Hearing Mou Zhenjiang praising Yan Guangxun, he immediately said, “Professor Mou, between Luo Yao and Yan Guangxun, who do you think will win?”
Mou Zhenjiang and Luan Limei looked at each other and said in unison, “Luo Yao!”
Huang Jian was shocked by the answer. For a moment, he didn’t react and didn’t quickly respond.
The live audience was also in an uproar.
Many of the audience members had watched the National Awakeners’ Competition all the way and had a deep impression of the overall low performance of strength-type awakeners.
Under such circumstances, the two experts were actually both optimistic about Luo Yao’s chances of winning against a top genius in the elemental type.
Liu Yunshi helped Huang Jian out of his predicament by asking the question that the audience wanted to ask.
“Why?”
“Because she’s Principal Ning Shi’s personal disciple,” said Luan Limei.
Ning Shi’s performance in the battle against the Zong family was at least at the level of a Tier 9 awakener. As military personnel, Jin Rongzhi had already reported this to Commander Ou.
