Chapter 365: Victory
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
Bi Yuyan was creeped out by Yan Xiaosu's gaze."What's your problem?"
Tyrant Su immediately shook his head."It is just an example of men's passion. You wouldn't understand it even if I explained it to you."
Bi Yuyan turned over to the other direction."You talk as if I want to know."
Ye Zisu laughed and said, "I remember. Lie Guang promised to introduce you to a Martian beauty, right? Is it because of this?"
"Cough, cough. Little girl, don't expose others like that. I'm your second brother, you know?"
Yan Xiaosu instantly shut up.
Bi Yuyan instead became elated."I thought that was why. A lady, and a beauty from Mars at that? Do you want me to introduce an Aslanian beauty too?"
"Really?"
"Watch the match first." Bi Yuyan immediately changed the topic."Your Solar System team is indeed strong this time around. This Lie Guang, it looks like his chances of winning are rather high, and he looks handsome too."
"I'm handsome too, you know? And regarding the Aslanian beauty..."
"Shut up and watch the match."
At the preparation area of the Solar System team, Lie Xin was looking at the Flaming Mountain with a smile. Lie Guang had finally walked out of her shadow. In fact, he was even more talented than her in certain aspects. However, solely relying on one's talents was not ideal to remain strong. Although she was still the strongest within the Lie family, he could still be considered her right-hand man.
On the other side of the preparation area, the Hurricane planet analysts were constantly replacing their pairs of glasses. Each pair of glasses had different lenses, and were able to scan different Ability Xs.
"It's not a true fire, but a spectral phenomenon, with a fixed degree of offensive power, weaker than that of Lie Xin. However, the mech has undergone an abnormal strengthening process, and the volume of fluctuations emitted by the G material is huge.
"After analysis... it's not a direct attack type, but a type of penetrating power. The energy shield is unable to block this fire, and it is able to directly burn the pilot!"
"Captain Dongyang hasn't activated his Ability X."
"Not yet..."
Boom!
Before he finished his sentence, the Hurricane Razor rushed towards Flaming Mountain, its speed rapidly changing, feinting left and right.
The attack had begun!
Lie Guang's flaming sword swung forward. The blade was still burning with the G material, sending the flames that were generated from the Ability X straight ahead.
Boom...
It was evident that Lie Guang had no inkling of the word "fear." If the enemy wanted a fight, he would directly meet him head on. However, his attack was not a simple assault, but had been carefully panned.
The opponent was the captain of the Hurricane team, and his strength was obviously high. His only chance was to attack and grasp the rhythm of the battle. Then, in order to grasp a chance at victory, he had to constantly oppress his opponent and utilize his ability to directly scorch his opponent.
The plan was proceeding successfully, as Li Dongyang seemed to be considering the actual situation first. He had not immediately gone on the offensive, allowing Lie Guang to gain the upper hand. This was indeed an expected development in Lie Guang's plans. If Li Dongyang lost, the Hurricane team would be absolutely destroyed. Hence, once he was up, he would definitely first analyze the situation, and not rush into an offensive like the previous combatants. After all, he was still the team captain.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
The Flaming Mountain continued its frontal assault, and the Hurricane Razor was unexpectedly being suppressed. Once an assassin-type mech was in this state, it was unable to showcase its offensive potential, and would simply lose.
Lie Guang's eyes flashed for a moment, and after a wide swing, the Hurricane Razor's reaction time had slowed down for a second.
An opening!
However, Lie Guang suppressed the desire to attack into it, and stuck firmly to his strategy. By continuously maintaining an offensive, his flames were slowly entering the opponent's mech and were directly burning the pilot.
Perhaps it was an opening, or perhaps it was a trap. A man had to stick to his own path and not be tempted by others.
"Not bad, he didn't bite the bait. However, it's a pity. If he took the bait, at least he would have a chance of victory. Now it's impossible."
Li Dongyang's voice suddenly sounded in the public comms.
Boom!
A flash of light was emitted from the Hurricane Razor. This light was even more dazzling than the burning flames.
And in addition to the light...
Li Dongyang's Ability X - Light Burst!
This had an impact on both the visual and spiritual, a truly fatal blow!
Boom! The Hurricane Razor utilized a strange type of speed boost, and the whole mech had distorted and slipped past the center torso of the Flaming Mountain Eighth Generation.
Mech explosion!
Hurricane planet team WIN.
Roar...
The true victory celebration arose from the Hurricane team.
The captain was invincible!
Threes cheers for the captain!
Go to hell, Earthlings!
After hearing these cheers, the Solar System team directed their gazes at Lear. Obviously, they were called the Solar System team, yet why were they only scolding Earth? Lear simply sipped his water. What did this have to do with him?
However... Wang Zheng had to take responsibility for his choice. In the blink of an eye, the score had been tied two to two.
As the captain, Wang Zheng was quite incompetent!
Since Masasi and Lie Guang had both fought, all the members of the Solar System team had participated in a match. However, following the two losses, they had wasted a such a good chance. Being tied at two each, the competition had entered a decisive stage.
The only thing worth rejoicing was that the Hurricane team captain had competed, and Wang Zheng still had not.
"Wang Zheng is too conceited. He should have gone up for the third match and directly ended the match. Now he's give the opponents the chance for a comeback. Victory or loss is hard to determine; we might have lost the chance."
"That might not be true. Wang Zheng must have wanted to let the members warm themselves up and find their own rhythm and state of mind. Even though it is the fifth match, he must still be confident in his own abilities."
"This is the IG, and the so-called warm up has just exposed their own shortcomings. This is a waste of a good situation, and the captain has to be accountable!"
It was obvious that the current situation had brought about a fierce debate.
"Sigh. What's the point in doing this? This is simply playing with fire!" Indigo clenched his fists. The skill level of Lie Guang was obviously lower than Lie Xin's, and the usual problems of the Solar System team had once again resurfaced. After winning a point, they had begun to show off.
Old Ghost did not say a single word. He simply looked at the Solar System team, who were still relatively calm. It was obvious that they were disappointed in the losses of Masasi and Lie Guang, but they understood that they had lost to the Ability Xs of the Hurricane team.
Only, the competition had not ended. In many cases, it would only be a defeat if the king fell. Perhaps Wang Zheng was simply training his guys, but if they lost, he was just playing with fire.
However, from the perspective of the overall situation, the Solar System team still had the upper hand because the next player was the Shovel King, while the opponents had sent out their ace and captain in the previous matches.
Therefore, from an overall strategic point of view, Wang Zheng may have made a few embarrassing mistakes, but they could not say that it was entirely his fault.
At this moment, Li Dongyang's lips had curled into a smile. Although he did not expect such a tough fight from the Solar System team, victory was always a joy.
"Hesselink, it's your time to shine! Let those dunces from the Solar System witness the strength of our Hurricane team!"
Quietly sitting in a corner of the Hurricane team's area was a member that was wearing a hat. As he had remained silent throughout, the others on the team thought that he was only here as a cheerleader.
Hesselink?
To be honest, they all thought that at this crucial moment, with Wang Zheng personally coming out to fight, the Solar System would have a definite advantage. However, the Hurricane team was still full of confidence, and "Hesselink, " this name was rather special as it was a type of name that was commonly seen on one specific planet.
Atlantis!
Hesselink took off his hat and revealed the pointed ears of Atlanteans. It was no wonder his face looked surprisingly delicate.
Hesselink was of mixed blood!
And from Hesselink's appearance, although he wasof mixed blood, his genetic heritage from the Atlantean side was rather large. This meant that the Hurricane team had a member who was able to control an Atlantean mech.
At this moment, a flurry of discussion arose within the crowd. No one had imagined that the Hurricane team would reveal such a card for the final match.
There were very few mixed blood Atlanteans, and those who had inherited the genes and were able to pilot a mech were even fewer in number. Yet the Hurricane team had one such member.
This was the final trump card of Li Dongyang. Honestly, he had not intended to use this card, but he simply did not have a choice.
Yan Xiaosu was using his Skylink to carry out a text broadcast. However, even he had no idea how many people were watching his broadcast at this time.
In reality, the Ares College students, as well as countless CT fans, had almost crashed the Ares College campus network.
Under the advantage of two to zero, the score had been reversed to two to two. For the final round of the decisive battle, it was thought that the Solar System team would win with certainty, yet the descendant of Atlantis suddenly appeared.
Everyone knew that the level of Atlantis was generally higher than that of the Milky Way Alliance, but Atlanteans were absolutely prohibited to be citizens of other countries, unless they were... of mixed blood.
At the same time, a mixed blood Atlantean was the most direct way for humans to study Atlantean civilization.
Li Dongyang's face was full of confidence. What spinning shovel? Spin till your head falls off! The Atlantean mech will just destroy you!
When Hesselink was on stage, everyone looked at Wang Zheng. Now the Solar System's captain had to be responsible for his choices!
Initially, they had the chance to go three to zero. Yet now they were staring elimination in the face.
Who would have thought that the Hurricane team would have hidden such an expert? It was said that on the battlefield, you should never give the enemy a chance to breathe, as they would never provide you with the same opportunity!
Wang Zheng stood up. For this match, he would be more assured if he went up in person. Even Zhang Shan, who wanted to test his strength against the Atlantean mech, had wisely remained silent. This atmosphere was extremely uncomfortable. So what if it was an Atlantean? Was there a need to be so worked up?
For the average mixed blood Atlanteans, they could at most start up the mech, or had a certain degree of success in piloting, which was ultimately rather useless in the IG competition. However, if the opponent was willing to allow Hesselink to go up, it was likely that his lineage was rather pure, and at least he would be able to showcase the might of the Atlantean mech.
At the thought of this, everyone couldn't help but shudder. No matter the situation, an Atlantean mech would be able to render everyone helpless, as if they had been trapped in a dream.
Ares College, which had just gotten this news, was silent. Although it was only in a text form, it had still brought tremendous pressure to them.
No matter from which angle you looked at, the performance of the Atlantean mech could suppressed all others.
"Using an Atlantean with mixed blood is too shameless. If you're good enough, use your own people!"
"What does a mixed blood count as? Have no fear, just beat him up all the same!"
"Do you think he's a pig? A normal mixed blood is useless against him. Hasn't Skeleton exploded one of those mecha before in CT? However, in order to pilot an Atlantean mech in real life, Hesselink's genes have to be at least 70% Atlantean, and he could probably be considered a true Atlantean in that case. Together with the ability to learn human tactics, that's the part that is truly terrifying."
Huang Shi was also completely stunned as he had never imagined that the Hurricane team would drop such a bombshell, revealing such a trump card in the final round.
