The Hail Cloud Alliance might be superstitious or following blindly, but once their higher ups issued an order, all of them were to give comprehensive assistance to help Snow Li improve her Ability X. And Snow Li’s speed of improvement was also really rapid.
Facing such a situation, Snow Li already had no hope left. No matter how awesome Wang Zheng was it would also be useless. If there was a Golden Wheel Battle King, perhaps there would still be some hope, as Snow Li really had a superstitious belief about Wang Zheng’s Golden Wheel Battle King. It was exceptional and using the word handsome would not be sufficient to describe it.
However, when she saw Wang Zheng, Snow Li was shocked. Wang Zheng’s expression was very calm, and he seemed to have no intention of giving up at all.
“Snow, later when the battle starts, retreat to a corner and subdue your breathing. This chap is very sensitive to Ability X.”
Wang Zheng said. His gaze was fixated on that scary insect that was emitting gloomy rays of light, while that insect was also staring at Wang Zheng with a kind of strange light.
A pair of small eyes staring against a pair of extremely large eyes.
Bang…
There were flames that suddenly burst out from Wang Zheng, and it instantly lit up the whole place. This also caused the Zerg to look especially fierce. The most scary thing was its gaze, it was full of cunningness.
Snow Li still obeyed and retreated backwards. However, Wang Zheng’s Ability X was only at C rank and not as good as Redington…
His was best at operating mecha, but unfortunately there would be no mecha over here.
However, just not long after, Snow Li’s expression was filled with an indescribable sense of admiration. It was precisely this type of expression.
Regardless of what was the situation, or who was his opponent, Wang Zheng just had this type of captivating expression.
Even if he failed, he must also be a hero who had died standing.
Actually, there was desire in Snow Li’ heart. It was an unrealistic dream of a girl.
And as it happened, Wang Zheng was the type who existed to satisfy her dreams in her life.
Wang Zheng started to move towards the spider Zerg, and the spider Zerg also started moving. The speed of both parties were both abnormally quick and violent.
Snow Li was also a powerful pilot. Naturally, she knew that if someone was good at operating mecha, his physical standards in battles would also not be bad. However, mecha masters did not equate to battle masters, and battle masters also did not equate to mecha masters. There were areas of interoperation among them, but they definitely did not equate to each other.
However, Snow Li became stunned very quickly.
The attacks of the spider Zerg were very quick and very ruthless, that strange pace was even more so deadly. As the movement of spiders was not like the movement of mankind, hence they had no blind spots. And especially for this type of abyss Zerg, they were even more unfathomable. Dealing with mankind was no difference from catching small insects.
Outside, Redington also had not forgotten to show off a bit of his experience with his two schoolmates. “In the abyss, the spider Zergs were relatively quite hard to deal with as they have no blind spots for their movements, and this had caused huge inconvenience to us as mecha warriors. When us human warriors are in battles, we tend to seek weakness in the enemy. However, they would not be blind spots at all for this type of abyss spider Zerg.”
A student from the first class was indeed different. Those in Class Xuan-3 were already very powerful, however, they still did not have any opportunity to get in touch with all these information. De Fulei and Ai Xiaolu naturally found it very admirable, but they already knew that the person whom Redington liked was Snow Li. Hence, unless they were looking for a lover, De Fulei and Ai Xiaolu were obviously not going to be so self-degrading. But they still admired him as Redington was really quite brilliant.
“Weird, why aren’t they out yet?
Ai Xiaolu took a look at their team’s situation. And as the mission was still ongoing, it was also reflected on their side.
“… Could it be that Snow Li is still fighting?” De Fulei was also stupefied. With the fighting strength of that insect, it was definitely at the level where the enemy would be crushed instantly.
On the other hand, Snow Li was not fighting. She finally understood that Wang Zheng’s expression did not originate from a brainless lack of fear, but rather, it was because he was just not scared of his opponent at all.
It was simply not possible to confront this Zerg directly. Its speed was quick and violent, its defense was astonishing, and moreover, its strength was not something that the physical body could contend against. For this type of fighting strength, even if you wanted to dodge, you would also not be able to do so. But for Wang Zheng, he could.
The steps of the spider Zerg were really strange. Snow Li knew very clearly that if it had been her, she would surely not had lasted for even 10 seconds. However, this Zerg had already been chasing after Wang Zheng for a few minutes, and it had not even hit his sides.
Wind Ability X!
What Snow Li knew was that Wang Zheng possessed fire and cold ice abilities, as those had also brought him fame during IG. However, it had just been a short while, and now he had managed to grasp the wind Ability X.
Wang Zheng’s own speed was absolutely not high enough for him to contend against the abyss Zerg. However, his steps were actually much more nimble and sharp as compared to the spider Zerg. But at the crucial moment, he also needed to use his wind ability to speed up, and to start his attacks instantaneously.
This was actually a good opportunity for him to practice his control of his Ability X, and Wang Zheng had to begin with his wind attribute.
Snow Li’s eyes were wide opened. What kind of dodging method was this? She had never heard of it. Could it be a secret technique of the Earth’s military?
There were many movements, but Wang Zheng did not turn his head back at all. It was like there was a pair of eyes on the back of his head, and it was extremely hair-raising every single time he dodged slightly. Snow Li’s heart was thumping fast and hard as she looked on. However, every time the abyss Zerg just kept missing by a bit, and it had nearly cut Wang Zheng into halves.
But nearly and missing by a bit meant that it was just not enough.
Wang Zheng did not pull apart the distance. This was not reality, the further you tried to pull apart, the faster you would die. For gigantic body types, close range would actually become an obstacle. However, the movements of this abyss Zerg were really shocking, it basically did not gave Wang Zheng any chance to strike back.
Snow Li was starting to get nervous. She knew that Wang Zheng still had a unique skill, the hybrid abilities of wind and fire. And perhaps it would be possible for them to win by surprise!
After feeling it out for several times, Wang Zheng had already found out that the outer shell of this d*mn insect also possessed defense against Ability X. Hence, for attacks to be effective, you must first destroy its shell. If there were mecha at this moment, it would have been a much better situation. The tyrannical attacks of mecha could split open the defense of the Zerg and allow the Ability X to cause fatal injuries or deaths. But now, he could only try to think of a way himself.
Wang Zheng already had an idea. Under continuous teasing, the spider Zerg had finally been driven mad. An insect would always be an insect. Even if it was the most intelligent insect, it was still an insect.
And once it became mad, it gave Wang Zheng an opportunity to attack. The ground was pricked and it became a hole. In an instant, Wang Zheng stepped on the leg of the spider and soared into the air, and flames suddenly engulfed it.
There was a loud sound, and Wang Zheng explosively jumped backwards.
There was a sudden upsurge of whirlwind from his body. He waved the both of his arms, and two fire wheels started spinning. However, the flame attack just now was not to kill or injure, but it was to create a blind spot. After his continuous attempts to feel it out, he had discovered that flames would still adversely affect the eyesight of the Zerg.
Snow Li knew what Wang Zheng was trying to do, and now what she had to do was to fight for time. She was a super genius born in the year of the Ice Dragon Dance, how could she had attempted nothing and accomplished nothing at this point in time.
The tactics were very clear, a direct battle was not necessary but one merely had to restrict it.
The abyss Zerg was already charging over frantically, but Wang Zheng was clearly not yet ready. Snow Li had already used her unique skill once, and it probably would not be of much use on this monster anyway.
But she was Snow Li.
She pressed the both of her hands onto the ground, and in an instant, a path of smooth ice mirrors was formed.
They were basically a work of art produced by Snow herself!
And sure enough, the spider Zerg started to slip. Naturally, this place was suitable for the formation of ice mirrors. Snow Li’s reaction could not be said to be slow, utilizing Ability X at the right moment was childs play. If one only sought to learn that skill, there would be no need to come to the Elite Academy. To learn to adapt to the situation was dependent on one’s strength and this was also the difference between mankind and the Zerg.
Bang…
This spider Zerg was also ruthless. Its claws slammed downwards, and the ice mirrors immediately broke. However, immediately after that, Snow Li used it once again. But by using it twice in a row to create such large-scale ice mirrors, Snow Li was already close to exhausting her full strength. The ice mirrors this time round was clearly thinner than the previous time, and the most crucial thing was that the learning ability of this abyss Zerg was really astonishing, it immediately scratched it with its claws.
As for Wang Zheng’s side, he was ready with his Windflame Wheels. In the World of Saints he could indeed do it routinely and with ease, it was much easier.
“Attack!”
Two huge Windflame wheels were rolling over towards it. The abyss Zerg also stared blankly. Generally, insects would not run away, the fiercer it was, the more it would charge forward. However, this Zerg leaped into the sky instantly, and the huge Windflame wheels swept directly across, it missed!
Snow Li’s face became even paler. It was an uncontrollable twinge of pity, it was so close.
The spider Zerg who had dodged the fatal attack descended from the sky. There was a noise of explosion on the ground. And at this moment, the abyss insect seemed especially fierce, and it was crashing and charging towards the both of them.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Wang Zheng’s mouth. You idiot, did you think that I am a mere rookie.
The two Windflame wheels that were in the air made a u-turn. There was a slight collision, but they actually returned to attack the Zerg!
The abyss Zerg really did not think much of it. Even though insects were different from mankind, but they also had their own way of thinking. Missed attacks would mean that they were harmless. At this moment, the insect was charging towards Wang Zheng frantically, however, Student Wang swayed his finger relaxedly.
Bang…
In the midst of the disorder, the two Windflame wheels hit the spider Zerg right in its middle section.
Snow Li’s snow-white face was somewhat bright red with excitement. What a tyrannical controlling power was this! The use of hybrid abilities was inherently classified as of the most difficult level. To be able to use it was already not bad, but Wang Zheng could actually go as far as to control it, this was simply amazing!
And the confident expression Wang Zheng had when he swayed his finger lightly made Snow Li’s heart thumped rapidly again. That was too cool!
All these while she had despised those girls who were love-struck and chasing after celebrities, but now she would no longer despise others. This was because if one really met someone whom you liked and admired, one would really not be able to control your emotions.
Bang…
A violent explosion and air billows swept across. Both Wang Zheng and Snow Li were also blown away and flew backwards.
Snow Li dashed over happily. However, Wang Zheng’s face suddenly changed. He almost catapulted out. And holding Snow Li they promptly started rolling on the ground.
Boom boom boom boom…
There were rows and rows of navy blue spurs on the ground.
These were spurted out from the abyss Zerg’s mouth, that guy was still alive!!!!
At this moment the abyss Zerg was really pretty battered. It had lost two legs, and a dark green liquid was continuously dripping out. On its back could be seen two huge cracks. It was this frightening defensive ability that had actually blocked the attacks.
Snow Li heaved a deep sigh. This was no longer a problem about Wang Zheng’s ability, it was impossible for mankind with no mecha to defeat this type of abyss insect. If there were mecha, even if it was an ordinary mech, just now that hit would definitely have been able to defeat this insect.
Just that there were no ifs, and now they were going to be the ones who would be defeated.
Snow Li was being embraced by Wang Zheng. And somehow, there was actually a romantic atmosphere.
But unfortunately, Wang Zheng did not felt the romantic atmosphere, and there was actually a type of burning passion in his heart that was rushing out. The more dangerous and extreme the situation was, the more his blood boiled which became harder to restrain.
