It was correct. Zhang Shan was courting death!
Big brother wanted to let you understand what a man’s promise meant!
Zhang Shan appeared behind the Hunting Demons. Montero stared at him savagely. This a**hole was trying his dirty tricks. How childish!
Growling… Growling… Shing…
The Hunting Demons had transformed into human form again. The four claws that had turned into wings did a reversal lock instantly. The steel claws pierced straight into the Wind God.
A claw pierced right into the cockpit. Blood was splashing everywhere.
The two mecha were intertwined and disappeared at the same time!
It was then that Montero realised that he had not been transferred out. This was not an exchange of places, but they were being dragged into a crack in the space.
The defence of the mecha was extraordinary pale despite being torn apart by the power of space.
“Lunatic! Lunatic! Lunatic!” roared Montero. He did not want to die. He had never thought of dying. He would be a champion. He would be the general of the mightiest empire. “I’m actually perishing together with you, you piece of crap.”
Without its energy shield, the rate of destruction of the Wind God was even faster. With blood covering his face, Zhang Shan was still smiling. “Wrong. Big Brother, me, is going to be the best man!”
Spatial Teleportation!
Zhang Shan did not have the strength to transport the mech out, so he only transported himself out.
The Lights of the Knight arena was in total silence. Many had thought that it was going to be an exchange of places. But now, everyone realised that it was Space Devour.
Entering space forcefully. Anyone with a slightly advanced knowledge of physics would know that subspace was a level, just like the stratosphere of the general atmosphere, it was relatively safe. However, the other locations were flooded places of death storm. There was just death, no possibility of living.
Zhang Shan was perishing together with Montero.
Was this a victory???
Would Saruman Snake w actually go all out to such a stage???
What about the clowning Zhang Shan?
Dendi took a deep breath. As someone who possessed the same ability, or maybe and even more refined version, he knew all too well how fatal it was to stay forcefully in the crack of space. Thus, he had never attempted to try it. Was this really necessary? This was just a competition.
Wang Zheng and the rest all held their breaths. Their minds had all gone blank.
The entire arena was debating. Was this perishing together?
No one had imagined that this battle of the best would be so brutal.
Kashawen stole a glance at Aina. Aina was a little pale. This was just the beginning. If Wang Zheng were to continue, Zhang Shan would not be the only one to die. They would not be able to take this. People were not as strong as they believed.
Pain would numb a man, and he would eventually forget about love. Love has never been the most important emotions of the human race.
Ares Academy was dead silent. A draw. But the price was death. Could this even be considered a victory?
Yao Ailun could no longer hold back his tears. He was indeed not resilient enough. He was just a physicist. He could not understand the heart of a warrior.
Suddenly, the entire arena was debating again. There was a ripple of space in the centre of the arena. Boom…
Two men fell out…
Dear God! God!
It was Zhang Shan and Montero!
Zhang Shan was bleeding profusely from his abdominal. The Hunting Demons had still managed to scratch him when it tried to stab him. If it had managed to stab him, he would have been severed into half. But his current situation was no better.
Zhang Shan has used his last strength to bring Montero out as well.
What the Hell! His compassion was aroused at the last moment…
Zhang Shan was on the verge of collapsing. Montero, who was beside him, held him up. Looking towards the sky in the arena, Montero was at a loss for words. He thought that he would be dead for sure, but this fellow had saved him. The very person who had tried to kill him…
Montero raised his hands. “I admit defeat.”
Upon finishing, he lowered his head and looked at the smiling Zhang Shan. Montero did not know why he had done it. Maybe he would never know the reason. However, only a person who had faced death would truly understand how lucky it was to be alive. The ability to give another person the opportunity to live was truly a great thing.
This was the first time in close to twenty years that an Arbiter had voluntarily admitted to a defeat in a major competition.
The person who had accomplished such a miracle was Zhang Shan!
“Zhang Shan WIN!”
The big screens showed the last scene of space. Just as the mecha were on the verge of destruction, Zhang Shan dragged a defeated and sluggish Montero out of the crack of space.
The people in the arena stood up. The cheers went straight into the sky. Even the clouds in the sky had been shaken apart.
This might not have been the most exciting battle, but it was definitely the greatest battle. Humans were human because of their kindness.
This was the most glorious part of them!
“Let us all remember this great warrior! He’s Zhang Shan from Earth!” Si Jiali sounded a little hoarse as well. Aslan was a humanistic empire. Faced with such a glorious moment, they lost control as well.
“The greatest non-Earth-rank Warrior is born! Such a warrior deserves our respect!”
Jondi Lilick gave an earnest Manalasuo military salute!
In the faraway Earth, Ares Academy had gone totally crazy!
Zhang Shan… Zhang Shan… Zhang Shan…
Everyone was chanting his name crazily.
“Miss Shan, Mighty!!!!” Chen Xiu roared hysterically.
“It’s Master Shan! Earth’s true man. Kudos to you! Mighty!!!’ roared Yao Ailun.
Zhang Shan could not hear any of this. The emergency response team was already rushing towards him. His injuries were very serious. Montero had been holding on to Zhang Shan all this while. He had also given him first aid immediately. He had given him a shot of adrenaline-enhanced liquid. As an Arbiter warrior, this was a normal occurrence. Although the emergency response team had been very quick in their response, they still needed time as the arena was huge after all.
However, the few minutes were critical. Zhang Shan had saved Montero’s life. But he did not expect that in these few minutes, Montero would save his life too.
Montero walked down. It was a long walk. He knew that he had done a humiliating thing. The first Arbiter to admit defeat.
Aragorn patted Montero on his shoulder. “You have done nothing wrong. We Arbiters haven’t reached a stage where we need others’ compassion to achieve victory. Dignity. Only strength could achieve this. Saruman Snake is a worthy opponent!”
The applause from the entire arena was resounding. It did not stop for a long time. The cheers spread from Aslan to other nations in the Milky Way Alliance.
No one could forget Saruman Snake, and the man named Zhang Shan.
Aina looked at Kashawen quietly. “Even if there is only a one percent chance, if you try hard enough, you could still receive a one hundred percent result. This is the reason why there are miracles.”
Kashawen could never have dreamt of such an outcome. If Zhang Shan had come out on his own, what would the outcome have been? The Arbiters would have gone crazy. The hatred was not something that Saruman Snake could have endured. This was not a reasonable world.
But Zhang Shan brought back Montero too. In so doing that, Zhang Shan did not die.
Was this a result of a one in a million choice?
“The competition is not over yet,” said Kashawen coldly. “I have said this before: this is just the beginning.”
Just as Kashawen said, this was indeed just the beginning.
