Everyone’s focus was on Wang Zheng and Jondi Lilick. As the most noted young representatives of this tournament, they were both symbols of invincibility. Jondi Lilick had gained fame when he at a young age, and a leader amongst the Milky Wat Alliance X Youth class. He did not falter through time, but instead became more mature and stronger.
This was an extremely important battle for both of them. This was definitely a battle worthy of the finals, and no one could take it lightly.
Jondi Lilick was the first to make a choice, Manalasuo’s God of Warfare!
After years of research and development, the new series of Manalasuo mecha were finally going to be showcased. Jondi Lilick’s choice revealed that he was prudent. Saruman Snake was definitely a worthy opponent, and there was no need to wait till the last moment to use this.
Bolet was not surprised at all. It was a necessary choice whilst confronting a little monster like Wang Zheng. Of course, this new mech would require a fierce and commanding battle in order to reveal its true supremacy, and this was the perfect battle.
Aslan should not be the only one to enjoy the limelight, Manalasuo needed to demonstrate that they could offer some new tricks too. As the whimsical designers of mecha, the Manalasuo people had never given up on innovation.
This was the maiden international battle of the God of Warfare.
It was up to Wang Zheng now — The Phantom King!
Once again, Wang Zheng chose the dreamlike Phantom King. The use of this mech brought sighs even to the Atlanteans.
All eyes were on Sea Queen battle team. The Atlantean Dina Atlas was very calm, revealing nothing but focus in his eyes.
It was hard to believe that the Atlanteans seemed to be the least ambitious. Even the Mayans were ambitious, let alone primitive nations like the Ghana Star, with unruliness flowing from their core. Only the Atlanteans remained ever so calm.
Wang Zheng’s Phantom King could be used for attack or defense, a choice made in full preparation for the team battle.
Both warriors entered the battlefield. The Saruman Snake Battle Team from Elite Academy X battling the Manalasuo’s Golden Wheel Battle Team for a winning battle.
This was, without a doubt, a battle of the titans. Both teams’ confidence were at the peak. Once the mecha entered the battlefield, they moved quickly forward into the center of the arena.
A major competition like the SIG was different from the battle of the titans. The difference was in the pace. Even though intel had been collected and they might even have fought before, there were still a lot of differences. The pace was much faster than the battle of the titans. It was very important to ascertain your pace in order to get ahead of the game.
The essence was still between Wang Zheng and Jondi Lilick. These two Earth-rank 2 warriors had plenty of power to destroy everything, and would change the entire course of the event. In terms of the overall tactics, it was either Wang Zheng or Jondi Lilick determining their victory or defeat directly, or wipe out the opponent’s team members first. The outcome had to be either one. Battles between the aces of Earth-rank were not something that an average person could stepped into. However, if both opponents were of the same Earth-rank level, it would be a completely different scenario.
Both Wang Zheng and Jondi Lilick had absolute confidence in themselves as well as their team members respectively. Hence, in terms of the match up, both had chosen the formation that they were most confident in, attacking from the middle.
Both of the mecha had adopted a compact type of thrust. As both teams were well aware of the opponent’s abilities and the lineups of the mecha, they were unlikely to launch an attack from the rear or fight using speed.
Kashawen poured herself another glass of red wine. The poorer you were, the bolder you were. Her own “persecution” seemed to have contributed to Wang Zheng’s determination. Jondi Lilick was the super genius of Manalasuo’s new generation. To put it bluntly, the pride of Bolet. This fellow could not wait for everyone to boast again. She was well aware of Bolet’s character. Although it was unclear what the hidden power was, but his expression echoed that of invincibility. Suddenly, Kashawen was regretting somewhat. She should have arranged for an actual fight. This was because when facing death during a battle, everyone would perform differently, and it could reflect the humility of human nature. First love and adoration were undoubtedly beautiful, Aina had not seen the ugly side of it. Tsk, tsk, pity. It should had been an actual fight. In confronting Jondi Lilick, death or serious inquires were a certainty that awaited Wang Zheng. Regardless of the outcome, Qiqin Nacchai had died in vain. If Wang Zheng really advanced through to the next round, he would not let pass an opportunity to Lya Sphinx. It was better to mourn alone than to mourn collectively.
Aina was watching this match too. She was distracted after a day full of activities involving foreign affairs. Her apparent composure was merely a performance. She could not reveal her imperfections. Kashawen should not even sense any imperfections. Confidence, even if it were a pretense, was required to mount pressure on the opponent.
She did not know if her indifferent aunt had left herself any room for escape, but up until now, everything had been smooth sailing.
Jondi Lilick… was able to catch her aunt’s attention. This person had to be one of the best, comparable to Aragorn and Dina Atlas. Abilities were invincible, but many a time, luck played an important role as well
Having witnessed Wang Zheng’s abilities during the qualifier, and even giving up the opportunity, showed that there was sufficient confidence. Aina had faith in Wang Zheng, but she was not as blind as Huiyin. She could only choose to pray at this moment.
A sense of nervousness filled the room of the four little beauties. This was the moment when destiny would be decided. If Wang Zheng lost, he would be out. Jondi Lilick would then become the best candidate to marry the princess. Kashawen had already spread the word, and under such circumstances, it was difficult to go back on her word. Could Aina go against her wishes?
Only if she gave up being a princess, but it would mean betraying the trust of countless numbers of people of Aslan. Could both she and Wang Zheng take such pressure?
There was probably no place for these two in the vast wide world.
Victory was the only way!
It was a treacherous road in the search of justice in an unjust world.
Ouyang Ruoliu was very excited. This was not pity for the weak. She hated the weak because she was strong. The world belonged to the strong, but the world was too dull. Her life was dull too. She would like to see interesting things. Hence, she hoped that Wang Zheng could continue on, and not allow the game to finish so soon. Even though the longer he lasted, the more miserable he would be. But not everyone could appreciate such secrets of the royalty. This would then be a vivid life drama.
Huiyin and Yuan Donger were really nervous, holding their small hands tightly. Amongst the four ladies, they were the least shrewd. Qian Xuedie was different. The most charming Xuedie was the most thoughtful. No one knew what was good about this lass who loved to eat.
On the battlefield, the pace of both mecha was slowing down as they edged closer to centre of the battlefield.
With a wave of Wang Zheng’s Phantom King’s hand, the mech warriors dispersed, seeking their own positions. From the perspective of Saruman Snake, spreading out would be easier for better control. This was especially true for Achilles’ choice of the Sky Dragon Knight. This mech was suitable for sudden combat, so the two warriors were not worried about being separated
Snow Li’s Ice Bird was already on the high ground, on the roof of a building in the distance. Snow Li felt a reflection, it was Millis!
Her opponent was dazzling lights on her deliberately. This was a whirling! This was a match of the snipers.
Wang Zheng’s Phantom King turned and appeared in the center block. Jondi Lilick’s God of Warfare also appeared, seemingly having the same idea.
Jondi Lilick wanted a one-on-one confrontation with Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng had demonstrated his strength many times. The only reason for Jondi Lilick to do this was that he was better than Wang Zheng.
An opportunity was required for the rise of Manalasuo. Thus, this political marriage with Aslan was crucial. Although Aslan did not divulge the signals of this battle, the major military schools of Manalasuo had received them anyway. SIG was not a matter concerning Aslan alone. Often times, Manalasuo was competing against Aslan.
The focus of defeating Saruman Snake was to show Princess Aina that regardless of what relationship she and Wang Zheng had, it would come to a pass with the end of this battle. Princess Aina was obviously not Jondi Lilick’s first love. Frankly, he had had a few women too, but it was like the fleeting clouds. Jondi Lilick was not too concerned about women. He had bigger goals!
Still, despite such character, Jondi Lilick had to admit that if he possessed Aina Aslan, he would have no regrets in life. A good woman could make a man struggle for less than a few decades. Having Aina would make him struggle for less than a hundred years, and make it possible for him to achieve his goals.
Man. A man with power and ambition longed ultimately for the final moment, having state power and beauty all within his grasp!
Aina was not present at the arena, but Jondi Lilick knew that she was watching very closely. He knew what attracted Aina to Wang Zheng – stubborn and solemn, and the ability to constantly create miracles. His humble origins could arouse the Princess’ compassion. But this would all be be gone following the defeat of Wang Zheng, and the petty pain would all disappear. The people from the most inferior origins were not as strong as they seemed, because they were doomed from birth.
Jondi Lilick wanted Aina to clearly see Wang Zheng for who he really was. He was the epitome of a man from the working-class background!
Wang Zheng was not as much of a philanderer as Jondi Lilick. His thoughts were very simple. With regards to his love for Aina, he would eliminate whoever was in his way!
The battle began with the tanks. Mu Zhen’s Giant mech was up against Battuta’s Desolate Steel Beast.
Undoubtedly, Battuta lost the first round. With his enormous strength and powerful Ability X, Mu Zhen had the advantage during the confrontation. But this was the first time he had ever faced an Earth-rank warrior.
Earth-rank tank!
Battuta licked his lips. He could not afford to lose again. He would use Mu Zhen as a sacrificial flag. His main task was to finish off Mu Zhen quickly and help Hinrich. Although Hinrich’s energy attacks were outstanding, Achilles was not easy to deal with.
Boom…
Battuta’s Ability X exploded, and his momentum was imposing and majestic. The power of the earth sweeping wave after wave. This was the crux between the tanks. Once the tank was chosen, be it tactics or character, there was the desire to give it all.
There was an additional aura, like the power of Saturn’s aura surrounding Battuta’s Desolate Steel Beast.
Mu Zhen’s Giant mech held up the Alloy Big Blade. The surging winds blew violently. A battle between the brave warriors. For the people of Tita, retreat was not an option, no matter how strong their opponents were. Charging forward bravely was the only thing their bodies and souls understood.
Both snipers locked in on each other. The mecha of both Snow Li and Millis were not moving. They wanted to end everything above the city.
Achilles’ Heavenly Dragon Knight appeared before Hinrich. Hinrich seemed to be waiting for him quietly. Hinrich did not seem to feel inferior at all even when confronted with an Earth-rank warrior like Achilles.
Lie Xin was up against Hu Ya. Another Wind God versus Wind God, a Fire Wind God versus an Ice Wind God. Both had faced defeats recently, and both wanted to regain their confidence through their opponent. There was no way back in this battle!
