"The final selection is about to begin, so the 'lying down' teams, get ready!"
"The final selection is about to begin, 'Crazy Grasshoppers' team, get ready!"
The announcer's voice came through, signaling the conclusion of the sequencer's grand event in a straightforward and brutal manner.
There are no second chances; the competition has determined the winner.
The strong always get stronger; this is the simplest and most direct Principle of the jungle, and it is acknowledged and followed by many sequence Lineage.
"Brother Xuezhou, should I stall my opponent again this time?" Wang Li asked in a low voice.
"I'm a useless person now, how can I make the most of my limited strength?" Song Sijia asked.
"Should I continue taking what I've stolen?" Song Fengying asked.
"I don't think I've ever heard of the name Xu Zhihui before," Zhang Manqian asked doubtfully.
"She's from Mingdu university in the capital, the eldest daughter of the Xu family in Mengzhong Province. Besides being quite strong, she's said to be skilled in tactical coordination," Zhang Xuezhou shrugged. "This information was sent to me by Zhu Kuang."
"You and Zhu Kuang are such good friends?" Zhang Manqian asked in surprise.
"Having more friends is never a bad thing," Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand and said, "Our family doesn't make enemies; friendship comes first, competition second!"
Zhang Xuezhou led the group forward. His tactics were flexible and improvised: fight as much as possible if they could win, and stall for time if they couldn't, trying to avoid being ganged up on.
"Brothers, I'm back here wearing protective gear again. This time, we've decided to take the initiative and utterly crush the teams trying to steal our roles in the film!"
During the live broadcast, Song Fengying, as usual, made up random stories.
Song Fengying is known for her proactive approach. Her speed was already quite good, and after mastering the "Flying Sheep Walking on Walls" technique, it reached an even higher level. She never held back in the competition at the Sequencing Conference.
His usual remarks triggered a flurry of random comments in the live stream chat.
Song Fengying's live stream focused primarily on her own perspective, which meant that many viewers saw Song Fengying running and doing parkour in dangerous building areas, with little footage of the interactions between the sequencers.
"I'm sure I'll get a good gun this time!"
Why are firearms included in a martial arts tournament?
"Just playing around, we have to have some fun!"
"Besides, this is a casting call for a film crew, not a life-or-death struggle!"
Our main focus is on the joy that a prop brings!
"Brothers, I'm running! Charge!"
As the countdown reached zero over the loudspeaker, Song Fengying, holding up her visual device, leaped over the descending barrier and took the lead.
"This is four airdrops now, everyone choose a direction!"
Watching the four aircraft drop off supplies, Zhang Xuezhou pointed in a direction.
In this match, no matter how hard everyone charged and intercepted, they couldn't prevent the opposing team from having a supply pack.
Song Fengying chose one direction, Zhang Xuezhou chose another, and Zhang Manqian accompanied them, while Wang Li and Song Sijia chose yet another direction.
The five people split into three groups and each went their own way.
"Brother, is Mom's problem really resolved like that?"
Although she was in the middle of a match, Zhang Manqian wasn't too worried about the outcome of this round.
Zhang Xuezhou was right. Once Zhang Manqian entered the True Spirit Realm, she would have the power to determine the outcome of the battle.
Regardless of whether her opponent has a gun or something else, her perception and agility are enough for her to jump and dodge the shots.
To defeat Zhang Manqian in her current position, it might require the likes of Zuo Teng and Luo Gaogao to join forces.
As her confidence grew, Zhang Manqian watched Zhang Xuezhou stroll leisurely, and her tense mood also relaxed. Instead, she became more concerned about the current situation facing Feiyu Live.
"A couple of administrative warnings are inevitable behind the scenes," Zhang Xuezhou said. "And it will certainly be accompanied by new laws and regulations, but they won't go too far. After all, to truly resolve this issue, we'll have to rely on long-term enforcement!"
Zhang Xuezhou pointed to the monitor on her chest, indicating that Zhang Manqian should be careful with her words.
After they put on the monitoring devices, their every word and action will be recorded by the monitoring equipment and seen by others.
When responding to Zhang Manqian, Zhang Xuezhou's words were equally ambiguous.
He grinned and pointed to a building about a hundred meters away.
"Let's secure a spot in the championship group first!"
"Alright," Zhang Manqian nodded and said, "Then I'll go first!"
"All five of them seem to be there. Can you handle it?" Zhang Xuezhou asked with a smile.
"Let's give it a try first, and if all else fails, you'll be there to cover our retreat," Zhang Manqian replied.
Zhang Xuezhou and Zhang Manqian were not moving very fast; the direction he indicated clearly indicated that an opponent had taken cover and was preparing to launch a sneak attack.
This gave Zhang Xuezhou a general idea of the strategy employed by Xu Zhihui's team.
Regardless of whether they secured the airdropped supplies, the opposing team focused on stealth attacks and even coordinated group assaults.
If a team is split up, the opposing team will inevitably lay off members, leading to their elimination.
Objectively speaking, Zhang Xuezhou believes that this kind of team composition is bound to be tacit and is an extremely effective model of overcoming the strong with the weak. However, the biggest drawback of this team is the lack of top-notch sequencers.
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
"Four!"
"Five!"
A dull thud followed, accompanied by screams of command.
But the screams subsided after Zhang Manqian counted off for about ten seconds.
When Zhang Xuezhou arrived at the ambush site of Xu Zhihui's team, the discussion in the referee's room also erupted.
"Xu Zhihui's team has always employed a surprise attack strategy. Their physical fitness and genetic abilities are extremely well-preserved, so there is no issue with their combat capabilities!"
"Under normal circumstances, the Tiger and Crane Dual Forms can gain a certain advantage in a one-on-one situation, barely maintain balance in a one-on-two situation, and then break its limit!"
"It's too fast! They were almost always defeated in one move when they clashed!"
"Five against one and this is how they ended up?"
"The team name 'They're Lying Down in Large Group' is really interesting!"
"This contestant, Zhang Manqian, seems to be even stronger than before!"
In the referee's room, many researchers stared at the monitor screen, then at Zhang Manqian waving, and many of them gasped.
"Professor Luo Hui, your student can take on five opponents at once!"
Did you provide her with special instruction on the Tiger and Crane Dual Forms?
"Given such overwhelming individual strength, this year's sequencing conference is already decided!"
"Everyone, please think carefully about the needs of these individuals!"
"This time, we should focus on advancing five types of martial arts: Tiger Form Fist, Crane Form Fist, Kunpeng Fighting Technique, Dragon Might Dragon Might Combat Technique, Shield and Armor Fighting Technique, and Flying Sheep Walking on Walls!"
"Where did that Kunpeng fighting technique come from? I've never heard of it before!"
"It's said that this is Professor Ren Yisheng's first draft of a bird deterrence technique. Although the foundation is quite solid, it can only barely be considered a five-star rating at the moment!"
How strong of a deterrent effect can avian genes exert?
"Deterrence techniques have always been studied in relation to large-sized creatures. Even the Dragon Might Combat Technique chose extinct large-sized creatures like the Mosasaurus as its hypotheses. How can we possibly hypothesize about the Kunpeng?"
Even before the winners of the sequencing conference have been announced, many researchers have already sensed the troublesome entities involved in this research.
Many researchers even sensed that the other party's needs were blatant.
If Tiger Form Fist and Gene Fighting Technique still possess completeness, and other fighting techniques can replace them at a higher level, then this Kunpeng fighting technique has only laid the foundation. Its further development will obviously require the efforts of many researchers.
