Chapter 1276: The beauty of a single spear
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shing, shing, shing…
Ouyang Chuanyun’s spear was spinning continuously. He got into a stance, channeled his energy, and the spear and mech fused as one.
If it continued as it is, victory would be in sight.
The Ouyang family, as one of the five main families in Aslan, was a pillar of support for Aslan, and as a representative of the Ouyang family, the only glory that he could bring today was victory!
Achilles’ expression was calm, and he assumed his stance with his spear. When he was at the age where he could understand words, his father put a spear in front of him and began telling him about Doyle family’s history and mission. To live was for this. Hence, he had sacrificed a lot, and today was the day he would reap the rewards.
In this moment, nothing else was important to these fighters. And in this world, all that was left was each other.
“Achilles!”
“Ouyang Chuanyun!”
BOOM! BOOM…
Both mecha started up at the same time. However, after the first step, Ouyang Chuanyun vanished.
Sky Dragon Spear… Meteor Slash!
The moment the mech vanished, the energy could not be controlled. This is an effect from pushing Ability X to the limit. In that moment, normal physical attacks and Ability X would have no effect on Ouyang Chuanyun, and it would not be possible to track him due to high speeds. This was Ouyang Chuanyun’s Holy Light Extreme.
Achilles’ eyes were basically shut. There is no need for sight – this strike was based on his senses. Since young, wielding a huge spear, killing one enemy after another, getting used to it until it became a part of him.
This was the moment!
Achilles unleashed his spear. The mech was still there, but the spear vanished!
Heavenly King Void Strike!
Buzzing…
Ratatat, ratatat, ratatat…
Space seemed to have collapsed. Following the direction of Achilles’ strike, an uneven disturbance appeared…
Boom… a loud explosion could be heard.
Ouyang Chuanyun’s Holy Light mech appeared, and the two mecha passed by each other…
The whole arena was quiet, the backs of both Knight of the Holy Light mecha were facing each other, motionless, not being pretentious. And everyone knew that this was the moment the victor would be decided, and the other person would have lost.
Everyone’s hearts were beating wildly. Who won?
Hope of the Moon, Achilles? Or was it the Knight of the Holy Light, Ouyang Chuanyun?
The huge screen showed the cockpits, the expressions of both of them… seemed not too well… unless they ended up mutually destroying each other?
Achilles sighed, while Ouyang Chuanyun’s face revealed a bitter smile, from the final strike, he knew the conclusion, the difference between their spear skills, were far too great.
Bang …
Ouyang Chuanyun’s Knight of the Holy Light collapsed, its chest shattered, while Achilles’ Knight of the Holy Light remained standing. It casually spun the spear,stuck it into the ground, and saluted. It was the Moon army’s salute.
After a short moment of silence, the whole arena erupted in cheers. In contrast to the dejected Aslan citizens, those that supported Saruman Snake were crazily celebrating. Back on the Moon, Achilles’ victory brought countless people to tears. The people of the Moon had waited for far too long – they have desired such a perfect victory, a match’s victory that fits the “standard of beauty” of the people of the Moon. Who knew how many talents from the Moon had been lost. And today, Achilles had finally stood out. In this moment, Achilles won over all of the people of the Moon.
On Earth and Mars, if this was the past, when the people of the Moon won, they would have despised or completely ignore them. However, in this moment, the students from Earth and the Moon where enthusiastically cheering, chanting Achilles’ name. He was the brain of the Saruman Snake battle team!
The commentators from various countries went crazy as well. “It was really unexpected. Who would have thought that the disadvantaged Saruman Snake battle team would beat their opponent in the first match with such a huge margin. And once again, this demonstrates the strength of physical techniques!”
“It really is unimaginable. Against Ability X that is one level lower, Achilles managed to overwhelm his opponent using physical techniques. In that last attack, the spear managed to strike the Knight of the Holy Light, which was hiding in the void. It is simply unbelievable!”
The big screens of various countries showed a slow motion replay of the match, and even made use of energy analysis to better view the match.
Was this really the age of physical techniques?
All along, the mainstream idea was humans using spiritual control to manipulate energy from the outside. To simply put it, it was used as a guide. However, Saruman Snake went against that logic. Absorbing energy and completely manipulating it, wouldn’t this method result in backlash? How had they managed to do it? How do you manipulate it?
Guiding and borrowing a form was fixed yet flexible. Using one’s fist to deliver a punch could result in unlimited variations and complete control over the punch.
The victory of the first match caused Saruman Snake’s supporter to be extremely excited. Even though they were excited, they gradually calmed down. The competition had just begun – it would be unsightly to be this excited. You must know, Achilles was the second strongest in Saruman Snake after Wang Zheng, and other than them, each member was worse than the other. While in the Sword Shield Rose battle team, all members were on the same level.
The second match was about to begin. The Sword Shield Rose battle team seemed prepared. It was Eve Litt’s turn!
Fiery Eve Litt, it could be said that her battle strength was not the strongest, but Lin Feng had decided for her to fight.
Everyone was looking at the Saruman Snake battle team. Lin Feng appeared to be exceptionally calm. He knew what Wang Zheng’s would be. Hence, he let Eve Litt up on stage.
If it was anyone else, Wang Zheng would have plenty of choices. However, against Eve Litt, he only had one choice.
And Lie Xin was raring to go.
Wang Zheng looked over to Lie Xin and nodded his head. It was Lie Xin’s turn!
This match belonged to the Solar System’s trident. Snow Li’s ice would not be able to go against Eve Litt. Mu Zhen’s life force going against fire was simply sending him to his death. All that was left was Lie Xin.
Moreover, this was the match that Lie Xin desired the most. From the start till now, she hoped for a chance like this, to have a true battle with no regrets, so as to not be bothered by it.
From that day onwards, she decided to take a huge step forward, to break free and be Lie Xin!
Fire against fire, this was a battle of their grasp of the attribute, Woman against woman, making it a fair fight.
Before the start of the competition, no one would have anticipated Saruman Snake’s line up. Would Lie Xin continue Achilles’ miracle, or would it be back to square one?
Achilles departed the stage with whole arena cheering for him. Ouyang Chuanyun’s severe injury was due to being struck out of the void, causing a backlash from the energy. As for the mech, most of the damage was superficial.
When the energy struck the mech, it was Ouyang Chuanyun’s loss. Achilles focused his energy on physical techniques and manage to fully understand it, hence making him superior to Ouyang Chuanyun.
It could be said that when facing obstacles, what Achilles had done was break through.
Without any words, Wang Zheng and Achilles gave each other a big hug.
