The Evil Lord was dumbfounded, greeted by the water pillar as it washed over his flaming body.
A large amount of white smoke rose as the flames on the Evil Lord’s body were extinguished in an instant, and the person drooped and fell from the sky, looking very embarrassed for a moment.
Seeing this scene, the seniors on Rosen’s side were all dumbfounded, feeling different levels of shock!
"What is his hero template? He actually can use water attribute attacks besides wind attribute!"
It’s known that elemental heroes have a strong advantage in attributes, and usually only have one attribute. Being able to wield two attributes simultaneously is rare, usually among special heroes like ninjas, who possess blood limit to perform two attribute ninja techniques.
But since they aren’t elemental heroes, the power wielded is also discounted.
Like the wind and water attributes Rosen just used, both were extremely powerful.
This is also why they were shocked and fell into great confusion!
The Evil Lord struck down with a single move, his eyes widened in disbelief. How could such a formidable lord be encountered in this backwater: "Able to wield wind and water attributes simultaneously, with power enough to defeat me, he might be a renowned seasoned lord!"
Thinking this, the Evil Lord dared not continue facing Rosen and quickly opted to flee.
But before he could turn around, two scarlet tails suddenly pierced through, strangling his neck and dragging him back directly.
Flying backward in the air, the Evil Lord had already become a corpse, falling heavily into the deep pit below.
Rosen looked at the Evil Lord in the pit, now a corpse, muttering, "I told you, it wasn’t certain who this pit would bury, and now it’s your pit."
Then, with a tail push, the soil around the pit covered the Evil Lord’s body.
And at this moment, the seniors behind Rosen suddenly felt chills.
They saw Rosen transform into Tang Xuanze!
How is this possible, Tang Xuanze should be fighting on the frontline, how can he appear here?!
Yeah, how could Patriarch Tang stoop to disguise as a new identity and join the Guard Team?
None of them understood what was going on.
"Idiots, this is clearly not Tang Xuanze, haven’t you yet realized who he is?!" someone suddenly said.
"He is...the one who assisted Tang Xichen to win the championship at the contest — Xiaozhang! He is the second place in the contest!"
With this comment, all eyes turned toward Rosen, filled with shock and admiration.
They understood they weren’t strong enough to participate in the contest, one needed to be at least an A-level hero to have that confidence.
Hence, those who could join the contest, in their view, were all master-level.
"It’s hard to imagine that Xiaozhang would join our Guard Team?!"
The crowd, upon processing this, exclaimed in amazement.
And they apologized for the previous disdain.
"Mr. Xiao Zhang, why would an S-level hero of your capability join our Guard Team and disguise as a C-level hero?"
"Are you sure I disguised myself? I never said I was a C-level hero; it was you who strongly believed that, wasn’t it?" Rosen said, somewhat speechlessly.
"True, given we never considered that an S-level hero would voluntarily join our Guard Team!"
"Being forced in is more like it, who would willingly join the Guard Team without reason?"
"What, Mr. Xiao Zhang, do you mean...your territory was ruined?!"
"That’s right, reluctantly joined the Guard Team under such circumstances."
They immediately felt astonishment; for a lord second in the contest, superior in troop deployment, to still succumb to having his territory destroyed, it was indeed shocking news.
"Don’t be surprised, couldn’t withstand the foreign forces sending assassins to siege my territory, especially when I wasn’t there to defend it." Rosen said helplessly.
"I see, so worthy of a top-tier figure to attract foreign forces’ siege! Respect! Respect!"
Instantly, they showed great reverence towards Rosen.
"Cough, cough. The matter here is resolved, should return now, right?" Rosen said.
"Certainly, we originally planned to negotiate with the other side for concessions, unaware that your intervention would end it directly, rendering further hassle unnecessary, the issue resolved."
The group turned back again.
Now the second team members responsible for case assessment knew Rosen’s background, knowing Rosen was the hidden master from the contest.
Implying they suspected Rosen, by exposing his strength at the contest, drew foreign assassins which led to his territory’s downfall.
This was actually easy to grasp.
While sympathizing with Rosen, they also viewed him highly, for it’s the first hearing one being too dazzling at attracting numerous foreign assassins, leading to territory destruction.
Yet the second team leader Wang Cheng was still unaware of Rosen’s situation.
With a bruised nose, Wang Cheng touched his nosebleed, saying irritably, "First team leader, you have become increasingly outrageous, thinking I can’t beat you; you think you can do whatever you want and disregard rules?"
"Hahaha, second team leader, aren’t you aware of the situation? You thought I bullied your first team members, came to challenge me, how has it turned into me bullying you?" First team leader sneered.
The other first team members laughed heartily below the stage: "As the second team leader, is this all the strength you have, falling flat after a mere few moves, thinking I can easily solve you if I take action!"
"First team, don’t be too arrogant. Our leader didn’t eat lunch; that’s why he lost. Wait till our leader eats, we’ll come again!" The second team members were infuriated, grasping at straws for excuses.
"Alright, after you eat meanwhile, we can fight again." The first team leader said coldly, laughing.
The second team leader Wang Cheng’s face turned dark.
He really didn’t want to fight again, merely resisted to show as the leader defending team members’ rights, not wanting members to think he was inactive.
Having a nosebleed was enough; further fighting risked hospitalization.
"Stop fighting, please!"
The second team female member who was bullied advised.
"No way, must fight, the leader must get justice for us; we all saw the first team leader lift your skirt, that act outraged humans and gods alike! Must retrieve justice!" Second team members said angrily.
"But it seems our leader can’t win, how about letting this slide?" the female member voiced fearfully.
"How could it slide like that?" Wang Cheng stood tall saying.
Already feeling despair.
Originally he intended to just embody the leader protecting team members’ image; however, unexpectedly team members seemed full of energy today, insisting he remains accountable until the end.
This was nearly a dead end for him.
"Come on, first team leader, even if I haven’t eaten, fight again, do you dare believe I won’t lose without food?" Wang Cheng said.
This remark made the first team leader feel somewhat reluctant to fight.
Yet, being thick-skinned, the first team leader delivered a punch directly.
Wang Cheng flew out, spewing copious nosebleed on his face, with a nose fracture.
Huge loss indeed, to maintain team leader’s responsibility, truly a miserable outcome.
