Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Friendly Match

The Mercenary Corps’ assessment rules primarily focused on friendly matches, prohibiting attacks on opponents who had surrendered or were incapacitated, a provision Jiuhui carefully considered before adding.

Although Han Jin didn’t quite agree, believing competitions should be a matter of life and death with participants responsible for their own consequences, Wei Junhao agreed.

“Our goal is to rank, not to let Special Ability Users excessively pursue victory. I think it’s fine,”

Wei Junhao said.

Since Jiuhui was also one of the assessment officers, Han Jin had no choice but to agree.

Wei Junhao indeed admired Jiuhui’s thoughtful consideration. To be honest, at those previous bases where life and death were not considered regulations on the assessment field, many Special Ability Users not only lost the matches but also their lives, and it didn’t stop there. According to his knowledge, team enmities formed due to the mercenary assessments were not uncommon within those bases.

Many teams, in order to win, even resorted to sly tricks before the matches, keeping the management of those bases extremely busy. Jiuhui’s regulation might alleviate this situation.

The stands quickly filled up, with Jiuhui also spotting Su Jin and Lu Hao’s team, and even the base’s Guard Squad Members and trainees arriving at the stands.

Liao Yifan and Xue Wanyi among other training instructors also brought their teams and found appropriate spots to watch.

“Everyone keep an eye out. Take note of any useful moves or strategies; learn from others’ strengths,”

Xue Wanyi told the Wind Element Ability Users.

“Yes!”

Deng Shuwei didn’t expect that they wouldn’t have to train or go out to kill zombies these past few days; just watching the matches at the assessment field was enough. It was practically a holiday, and they could even discuss strategies with teammates, which was truly awesome.

“Xiao Wei, if our instructors formed a team and joined, what rank do you think they would get?”

asked Yan Honghua who was nearby.

Yan Honghua was Deng Shuwei’s close friend and teammate in the team, both sharing similar ideals and personalities, which made them fast confidantes.

“They could at least get an A, with Instructor Guan being so powerful,”

Deng Shuwei was an avid fan of Guan Hong, thinking that among the Metal Element Ability Users in the base, Guan Hong’s Metal Element Ability was the most formidable.

“Yeah, and Instructor Xue and Instructor Liao are also formidable, and I heard they both belong to the Heart Talk Team now, working part time,”

Yan Honghua felt somewhat regretful; it would have been nice if the Guard Squad Members could also participate in the assessment. Although she wasn’t particularly interested in the Mercenary Corps, an assessment involving the whole base sounded very exciting.

“You, you’re just too fond of combat. Let’s focus on being proper spectators,”

Deng Shuwei said.

The assessment began shortly after, and the two stopped chatting to watch intently.

At the front of the stands, there was an electronic screen which displayed the names of the two teams, and below it, a few lines of small text detailed the matchup information of the team members set to compete.

The first match: Wyvern Team against Feihong Team.

Su Jin and the others had not heard of these teams, but that did not prevent them from enjoying the spectacle.

The referee was Li Haochu, who blew the whistle, and instantly, both sides entered the combat state.

The competitors on the field were a man and a woman.

“Starting right away with Fire Element against Fire Element?”

Lu Guanhai noted as he watched the battle between the two Fire Element Ability Users on stage.

“Perhaps this way it’s a bit fairer?” Su Xiangzhe speculated.

Wyvern Team and Feihong Team each brought out four members for the contest, with Wyvern Team eventually winning with a score of 3-2.

“It was quite thrilling…”

Su Jin said. Although neither of the teams inflicted severe damage on their opponent, it was evident they were already trying to prevent severe injuries. Yet, both sides did not easily concede. In her view, the strengths of the two teams were actually quite comparable.

Among low-rank teams, the winners can advance to compete among middle-rank teams. So, many people from middle-rank teams started taking notes with pen and paper on the features and special abilities of the members of the advancing teams.

“It’s a pity for the Feihong Team,”

People in the stands started discussing fervently.

“Yes, but their strength is not weak. If the team is stable, it’s certain they can move up to middle-rank next year,”

one person analyzed after listening.

The pace of the matches was quick, and Li Haochu had already blown the whistle for the second match.

“That person, is that Wan Peng?”

Lin Xiuyuan pointed to a man on the field and asked.

“It really is him,”

Su Jin smiled as she spoke, it looked like those two had really come here. She would have to go back to Heart Talk Space and tell grandma; she would be very pleased.

“Wow, Wan Peng is actually battling a Metal Element Ability User,”

Nie Qing said. Wan Peng was of the Wind Element. Why would he choose to face a Metal Element user? As a Wind Element Ability User himself, he felt that Metal Element should also be considered a nemesis of the Wind Element.

One is intangible, the other tangible; naturally, the tangible side would have the advantage.
