Chapter 929: Chapter 868: Study Exchange

The eliminated contestant from the previous day had already been decided that evening.

The selection ultimately happened among the students of Mentor Franken and Mentor Sean Grant, with a participant who hadn’t contributed at all and had spread positive energy in front of the camera sadly leaving the stage.

At this moment, the advantages of Song Lan’s "elite" path became apparent.

Veronica and Valerian had performed exceptionally well in last night’s operation, assisting Sean Grant with the arrest of a member of the Civil Assassin Organization who had been trapped in the "Cream Rain".

This sudden "Cream Rain" incident had caused trouble for the students of Sean Grant’s team. The perimeter of the Exceptional Case Investigation Bureau, which they were responsible for, was meant to be their claim to achievement. Yet, the "Cream Rain" left them stranded mid-way.

As one of the only three mentors, Song Lan attended the elimination ceremony that evening.

Seeing the contestants ascend the PK podium to speak about their dreams and fighting spirit for the first time in person was quite novel for him, even making him think that the young people of today are all full of vigor and vitality.

Before he could even make it back to the Eden Hotel after the ceremony, Guan Lili excitedly ran up to him and couldn’t wait to play the edited footage on her phone.

"You really didn’t disappoint me, Vadin, not turning to run, but instead moving closer to me," she said.

A familiar voice could be heard in the video.

With the addition of post-production music, even without carefully watching the screen, one could easily fill their mind with the anticipation of an intense battle to come.

Although the filming equipment they set up in the monitoring zone had experienced signal interference the night before, this precious piece of footage was preserved. Guan Lili knew this could definitely become one of this season’s classic scenes of "Master of Rescuers".

That’s the benefit of inviting Song Lan to participate in the program’s shooting.

Apart from maximizing the safety of the crew, they could even save a sum of money for special effects production. In the past, special guest mentors had to go through team planning before taking action, and based on their combat characteristics, they would create as grandiose a scene atmosphere as possible.

But Song Lan was genuinely skilled, he didn’t need any post-production special effects at all.

In Guan Lili’s opinion, no special effect could surpass the kick that guy delivered in Zone 2.

Even now, the process from the splitting to the annihilation of the Iris Consortium’s castle is still widely circulated online, reposted periodically, and even Kolo Film Industry’s special effects team has drawn inspiration from it. They use this real-life footage as a research material, preparing to apply the same expression to their upcoming special effects production.

Guan Lili said, "We are very satisfied with this footage, but there’s room for improvement, and we might need your help with that."

"Help?"

"Yeah, mainly about the part after Vadin activated his ’Overload’ system during your duel. The audience might find those shots hard to follow."

To put it more plainly, because of the unique combat styles of both parties, the actual showdown ended in less than a second.

The staff also slowed down the footage and reviewed it several times before realizing Vadin was kicked out and smashed through the dome of the building, turning into an afterimage that vanished among the stars.

Previously, they always thought that such expressive power only existed in exaggerated portrayals within fictional works; from a real-world physics perspective, it’s hard to calculate just how much force it would take to kick someone with a full-body subdermal ballistic coating and a high degree of prosthetic enhancement into the sky with one blow.

"Simply put, we think the process of your exchange ended too quickly. There’s something missing in the middle, like some more tense and exciting fighting sequences... Don’t worry, the special effects and the fight can be completed during post-production. You just need to give us a detailed explanation of the details during your duel, yes, start by talking about what was going through your mind at the time," she explained.

Fellow countryman, I believe you could withstand that blow and live on strongly.

The edited video footage made Song Lan recall that thrilling night.

Indeed, he was far less composed than he appeared in the video. At the moment of sending Mr. Vadin flying, his heart was filled with concern for his compatriot, fearing the fall might result in a fatal injury.

Thankfully, Mr. Vadin had the purest bloodline of the Seventeenth District. He was strong, pure, and sincere, not betraying Song Lan’s expectations.

Him visiting the food street this morning was a sign that Vadin was recovering well.

Of course, Song Lan knew he couldn’t reveal his truest thoughts on camera because doing so would not only lead the audience to question Mr. Vadin’s strength but also make them doubt his sentiments for worrying about the wellbeing of a criminal.

"Contestant Vadin is a very strong opponent. Among those I’ve encountered in my career, he could be ranked in the top ten. Last night was an extraordinary match, and I look forward to crossing fists with him again," he said.

While saying the polite words, Song Lan also retained his sincerity to the greatest extent.

Rob Lucci has not encountered ten opponents to date; ranking Vadin in the top ten was undoubtedly a choice that aligns with objective reality.
