The Asura battle team, which had high hopes placed upon them before the match, had been defeated in the battle between the top 16.
The Dynasty battle team had staged a huge reversal!
This battle had established a fatty named Luo Fei. He was absolutely the most compelling contender for this year’s SIG’s Strongest Scout.
After the match, Lear was surrounded by the relevant media. On the side of Aslan’s Royal College, they were especially filled with curiosity with regards to Luo Fei. Of course, that also included Lear, who was the captain. Aslan was always interested when it came to people who had defeated Arbiter people.
Luo Fei did not accept any interviews as he had already gone back. The honour was solely Lear’s. Lear calmly and gracefully dealt with all sorts of questions. This was all a tactical arrangement, but, of course, he felt that Asura’s defeat had originated from underestimating the enemy. Anything could have been possible.
In the dormitory, a strange sound came out from Luo Fei’s room. Luo Fei was rolling around the floor in great pain at this moment. His entire body emitted a red glow while his blue veins violently emerged. His whole person was like a swelling balloon, and his chubby face had changed beyond recognition. Energy flow, resembling worms tunneling throughout his body, could be seen by the naked eye, and he was even emitting some strange sounds.
His Ability X was indeed formidable. It could fearlessly “eat”, but such vital energy and mental strength could not be easily digested. It would be easy if the victim were an average level warrior, but warriors like Mars were an entirely different concept. Whether it was the vital energy from the Heavenly Overlord Attack or Mars’ mental strength, they were unique. Even if they were removed from the original body, they would not change forms. Both of them were originally of the same rank, so Luo Fei would not be able to consume it. It was like doing a blood transfusion using blood of a different type. There would not be any immediate reaction upon entering within Luo Fei’s body, but once it had been fermented for a period of time, it would erupt thoroughly.
Luo Fei’s hands grasped onto the table leg, dragging himself over little by little. He bit down on the table’s leg. He must not produce any sound.
At the moment, he also did not know how to solve it, because ever since his strength had been awakened, he had never met an opponent like Mars. Maybe it would be best to immediately head to the hospital, but the best choice was usually never the option that could be done.
Luo Fei gradually lost consciousness, and in a haze, he seemed to have seen Lear return.
Lear had indeed returned. The interview time was not too long, but he had quite an abundant harvest. He also had a few things that he wanted to understand. He did not expect Luo Fei’s Ares Art to actually have an unusual change, which could possibly provide a pretty good experience.
Seeing Luo Fei’s appearance, Lear was not very surprised. It would, of course, be a better choice to send him to the hospital. After all, it had been vital energy of the same rank – how could it just be consumed so easily? It was impossible to transfer the energy. Once it entered the body, it would inevitably wreck the body. However, even if they were to go to the hospital, this was not the time. This was the disadvantage of this ability.
The method was simple. Lear gave him a kick, causing Luo Fei to lose consciousness completely.
It was just that Mars’ mental strength and vital energy were still damaging Luo Fei’s body. Sitting on the side, Lear was taking into consideration the battle of the top 8. There should still be enough time…
It was just that it would feel a bit long for Luo Fei.
In the afternoon, the Zero Degrees battle team led by Ai Zhengyang had also successfully achieved victory. The Hail Cloud Alliance’s capabilities were publicly acknowledged, and no chance was given to the opponent as the final score came up to four to one. They were still relatively stable.
It was only that this was not what everyone was paying attention to. At night, within all their rooms, everyone was studying the Dynasty battle team and the Asura battle team’s video. Saruman Snake, as the more well-known team, had also not expected such an outcome. If they were to unluckily encounter Dynasty battle team, how should they resolve this issue of Luo Fei?
His weakening and eating ability could simply control any aggressive offense. This was the most typical show of using a soft approach to control the tough. He had already reached the pinnacle, yet someone like him still had a wretched battle tactic where he did not confront the enemy head on. It was hard to find someone so wretched even after having reached such levels.
The pressure on Zhang Shan was extremely huge. He used to think that he was about the same as Luo Fei, but upon seeing Luo Fei’s true ability, his head started to hurt. It was not just a question about the Ability X world, but also about skills.
He himself specialised in teleportation, and not just merely at the level of the movement from the box. But how had Luo Fei of such an offense method and with such a fluent flow?
The video tape had been obtained by Ai Xiaolu in the first minute. All the major battle teams were studying Luo Fei, while everything on Lear had become fleeting.
This fatty’s fighting skills were relatively valiant. Everyone had completely been cheated by his outer appearance.
The Wind God’s continuous pursuit in offense, including that fatal roundhouse kick, had all been executed in one go. It was simply the prime example of a textbook attack.
“Wang Zheng, why do I feel that there is something wrong here…” Zhang Shan bit his fingers. After meticulously looking, he discovered what the problem had been.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. “I feel that Sweeney’s reaction was a bit slow. Even if she had been hit by the weakening ability, it could not be to the extent that there would be no reaction at all.”
Achilles also wrinkled his eyebrows. “Maybe it was his Ability X. It’s a pity that we have not experienced it. We do not know how to handle it.”
Luo Fei’s type of ability could also suppress Achilles, who did not know how to defend himself against “eating” at all. Even the strong, forceful offense of Mars had been weakened to the point of being dissolved and slowly eaten away. What about the rest then?
Perhaps only an even more unique ability could prevail with a surprise move, not allowing him to have the chance to display his strength. Or perhaps they could rely on the sniper to deliver a blow, allowing them to strike first and gain the advantage.
The problem was that this fatty’s fighting skills were formidable and he was wretched as well, unlike Mars, who was very firm. Fatty had also never felt that he needed some expert demeanour, simply leaving him invulnerable.
Wang Zheng watched it again. “He did not do a roundhouse kick after he teleported. Look, after the magnetic source arrived, and he took a step. In midair, the mech already had a turning force. This was a roundhouse kick followed by teleportation. In that moment of his appearance, his actions followed through habitually. As such, Sweeney could not react in time.”
Upon hearing Wang Zheng say that, everyone discovered the small detail in between. It was a completely powerfully controlled execution. In that moment of appearance, it was like a tightened bow that made an explosive shot in an instant.
Zhang Shan himself felt that his research on the Wind God was very thorough, but this move had blinded his alloy dog eyes.
Naturally, this was only the comprehension of his fighting skills and techniques. The problem that remained was still with regards to Fatty’s eating. That was the crux. No one would be able to stand having their mental strength eaten away.
“It was not just mental strength. Look at how Mars’ Heavenly Overlord Attack weakened after being enveloped by Luo Fei’s Ability X. His weakening ability had already started, which means that Luo Fei was eating the mental strength directly. There was no contact needed. I fear that it can also suppress fighting skills,” Lie Xin stated.
“Actually, you guys don’t need to be too worried. Putting the matter of encountering them aside, abilities are frightening only when they are unknown. Since he has already exposed himself, he certainly could be countered against.” Ai Xiaolu mentioned, “I will further investigate on the specifics, to see if there are any similar abilities, as well as the method to break it.”
Ai Xiaolu was obviously not referring to SIG, but Aishi Financial Group’s related information on abilities.
Any ability that had appeared for the first time would seem invincible, but in actuality, those that had been deemed invincible had all been taken down. Only the unknown could be unrivalled.
The more troublesome issue was that Luo Fei was only a scout and not the captain. The key was with what was happening with Lear. Had the two of them been acting dumb together? Or was it just Luo Fei?
People like Wang Zheng, who had battle experience, would be curious. There were always two sides to any ability. There was no such thing as an unrivalled ability in the world, there was only even stronger strength. The more unique an ability was, the more attractive it was. In actuality, the best method would be to exchange notes with Mars. It was just that the situation now was not suitable for it.
Wang Zheng and the rest did actually get along with Luo Fei. There were only a few of them who had come out of the Solar System. He had a genuine temperament, but from the looks of the final attack, where he had placed killing Mars as his motive, Luo Fei ultimately was biased towards Lear.
The genuinely frightening enemies were never the formidable ones, the ones that were high above, but those who could not be dispersed.
