It was only then that everyone started cheering. Everyone was whispering to one another, and it was without a doubt that they were all amazed by the spectacular performance earlier on. Notably, Wang Zheng and Olivios were the stars of the match. Regardless of their individual capabilities or Battle Team tactics, their performances were remarkable.
“As expected, the four masters of the Solar System.”
“Hmmph, that’s nothing. They’re an established federation for goodness sake. After several decades, it is normal for them to produce four capable masters.”
“One can chase Asura Battle Team to the edge of a cliff, and the other can crush the Federal Republic of Manalasuo. Tsk tsk, looks like this is the end for Manalasuo. I guess we can rename Eagle Battle Team to Little Chicks Battle Team. ”
“Eagle Battle Team is strong too, it’s just a pity that the Golden Wheel Battle King was a little beyond the ordinary this round. The moment one performs poorly in a particular segment, it will affect the final outcome, it’s still too early to determine who’s the final winner at this point.”
“There will definitely be a mainstay for each and every Battle Team.”
Everyone was engaged in their little conversations and debates. From the looks of it, based on the two rounds, individual capabilities played a crucial role. In the case of Dendi, who had relied on his Battle Team capabilities, it did not work out well for him.
And what had seemed like a weakness for Saruman Snake Battle Team, had turned out to be a game-changer this round. Well, Wang Zheng had really trusted Zhang Shan enough to put him in the lineup. He had put on a terrible performance in the previous match, and to think that Wang Zheng would let him take part in this round. And Zhang Shan had managed to prove his worth with his performance in this round.
On the screen, there was a list of key points of the match. The movements of the Wind God was really shocking, and he even squatted down for a short while to ensure that his opponent had not noticed him. For a scout to be able to do this, it was already an amazing feat.
Inevitably, everyone’s focus was on Wang Zheng’s Golden Wheel Battle King, regardless of whether they were at the match to watch the bustle or had hoped to learn some skills and tricks through observation. This included all the military schools who were watching the livestream of the match as well, as they watched on attentively. It was obvious that Wang Zheng was just being humble and kind with his words about practicing consistently, there was certainly some tricks and secrets to this.
The trajectory path upon collision of the wheels, the maneuver of the mech, was beyond one’s expectations.
The slow-motion replay was even more astounding. Everyone was in awe. Not only did Wang Zheng’s Golden Wheel Battle King control the trajectory path of the wheels with high precision, it was accurate in predicting collisions. Besides, while avoiding the golden wheels, he did not seem to have any signs of fear, and acted calmly. It was as though the wheels were not enemies, but one of its own.
Who can cultivate such a state of mind?
That avoidance was at close proximity, it would have turned into a huge mess if there was a little mistake in the movements. And when his back was facing the golden wheels, there was no signs of hesitation, and such confidence had the ability to crush the opponent.
With regards to the amazement of the general public, Wang Zheng did not care much about it. It was necessary for the Golden Wheel Battle King to have an output environment, and the Battle Team had put on a splendid performance. As for the techniques, honestly speaking, it was only until the IG where Wang Zheng had gotten to know about the Golden Wheel Battle King. When one had entered a state of extreme fatigue, he would try to do some calculations and predictions as he came from a spatial physics background. But as the match progressed, his movements were based on his instinctive abilities. And towards the end it was a matter of his reflexes, also known as one’s intuition.
That battle was evidently a breakthrough for Wang Zheng, and the battles that followed were way easier to handle. Neither Zhou Yu nor Vincent had experienced such a predicament, hence their degree of mastery were limited as compared to Wang Zheng.
Such a level of mastery could not be attained through working behind closed doors away from reality. Even if it were to happen a million times, it might not have possibly achieved the same results.
The more one had seen it, the more terrifying it was. As a free fighter, Wang Zheng and Olivios had once again demonstrated to the masses what it takes to be an all-rounder.
Similarly, all the more the other opponents had to be on their toes. Saruman Snake Battle Team was not a loach, but a genuine venomous snake. Once bitten, it would be fatal.
The Battle Teams from the Solar System were not a flash in a pan. When faced with the Asura Battle Team, Dynasty Battle Team had fought hard and managed to show their unique style of battle. And the Saruman Snake Battle Team had turned up a notch as they showed tremendous improvement in their performances. Of course, Saruman Snake Battle Team was up against two weaker opponents, and the real challenge had yet to come.
Yan Xiaosu had gotten himself a girlfriend!
…. Well, this was not something new. Ever since he was hurt by Yue Jing, he had issues with his viewpoint regarding relationships. And after hanging out with Jasper often, honestly speaking, he did not believe in love anymore.
But God has his ways of playing around with people. Yan Xiaosu, who was kept busy with work, had attended a business conference over at the Moon. It was a hectic schedule nonetheless, and the moment the meeting had ended, he slipped out alone. Well, it turns out that he had overestimated the security over at the Moon. Being decked out like a tycoon, his wallet got stolen. And for fear that people would contact him while he was there, he did not even bring along his Skylink, which could potentially help him in such a situation.
And this was how he had met Elin Zhao. Back then, he was squatting at the roadside, watching the ants as they moved along and smirked. Elin had though, he was just a dull-witted youth who had lost his way.
But it turns out….
At that moment, Yan Xiaosu felt that his world had lighted up. When an elegant lady like Elin had offered him assistance with a wide smile, his heart raced. Everyone knew what would happened next. Taking advantage of the lady’s kindness, pretending to be pitiful, innocent, dull-witted, he eventually won over the heart of the kind-hearted lady.
Their love for each other developed just like a wildfire, making all the dull business talks warm as though spring had came. After his meetings, he would go and look for Elin. Their relationship evolved quickly, but Yan Xiaosu was still a little shy and only pulled Elin’s hand along, and even that was initiated by Elin herself.
This was not the first time Yan Xiaosu had entered a relationship. He had a discerning eye, hence he was able to distinguish between a false display of affection or genuine feelings. All along, he disliked it, for it would be happier if he had not known all these. But Elin had changed him. It was rare for a girl to like him not because of his wealth but her true feelings for him. He had very much wanted to inform his band of brothers about this new relationship, but he did not have the confidence to do so and hence he had to keep mum about it. Well, this was because he had thought of An Mei’s demanding mother. It was because he did not want to play around any longer, and wanted to settle down for good.
The timing was just right! Elin’s father’s birthday was coming up, and this was a great opportunity to meet her family!
“What gift should I get for him? Does your dad have any hobbies of interest?”Although Tyrant Su had seen much of the world, he was extremely nervous.
“He doesn’t smoke, neither does he drink. In my father’s words, your presence is enough. Our family isn’t lacking in anything, so don’t waste your money on buying items that might not be useful to us. Why are you sweating so profusely, my dad ain’t going to eat you up.” Elin smiled, and touched Tyrant Su’s chubby face.
Yan Xiaosu touched his chin, how could he appear empty-handed in front of the elders? What’s more when it was her father’s birthday? He asked Elin, “How about getting two fruit baskets?”
“Well, if you’re talking about fruits, it’s fine.” Elin smiled and rubbed Xiaosu’s round belly. Her friends around her had opposed to this relationship due to her family background. Elin was from the Moon, and came from a middle-class family. On the other hand, Fatty Su was average in looks, and did not seem to be wealthy either. But what Elin liked about Yan Xiaosu was his gaze, it was very sincere, and that was the most touching part about him.
In front of Elin’s house, Yan Xiaosu kept blinking his eyes. He could not believe he was in a rich estate, in front of a villa that was three storeys high, equipped with both front and back yards and a pool… This was certainly not what he had imagined a middle-class family to be.
With such an extravagant and huge house, how can a retired high school teacher manage to afford these? Were the benefits on the Moon really that great?”
“Elin, didn’t you say your dad was a retired high school teacher?”
“Yes I did, why?”
“Then this house is…?”
“I did hear about this from my mother. This was her dowry. Don’t worry, my parents are nice people and they’re easy to get along with. Oh yes, don’t talk frivolously.” Elin smiled. Even though Yan Xiaosu was a few years older than her, she still felt like he was a small child. In fact, Elin was going to graduate from the missionary college only this year.
The moment they stepped in, they saw Elin’s parents watching television in the living room. The decorations and furniture in the rooms were not lavish and elaborate, instead it was rather simple. And even though it was her dad’s birthday, there were no excessive decorations.
“Dad, mum, this is Yan Xiaosu, my boyfriend.” Elin introduced with her flushed cheeks.
“Happy birthday uncle! Hi aunty, here are some fruits, it’s just a little gesture I hope you’ll like it.” Yan Xiaosu quickly greeted Elin’s parents. Honestly speaking, he had a phobia and could not speak fluently.
“Hello, come in quickly. Don’t stand on ceremony, you can treat this like your own home.” Elin’s mother said, after scanning through Yan Xiaosu with a smile. She had also glared at Elin, seemingly blaming her for only revealing the relationship now.
“Uncle and Aunty, you can call me LIttle Yan,” Yan Xiaosu said as he wiped off his sweat. He knew where he stood in terms of looks, and looking at the qualities of others, he just could not follow their footsteps no matter how hard he had tried.
“Come, Little Yan, sit down. Don’t be nervous, let’s have a talk.” Zhao Zhe smiled. Elin’s father had maintained himself really well, for he looked like he was only in his early forties, and he was amicable.
But Yan Xiaosu was still unsure about him, and barely took up half of his seat.
“Hey, Dad, don’t bully him,” Elin said, as she went to prepare for the birthday celebration together with her mother.
Yan Xiaosu was worried. But the whole time, her father had just briefly understood the situation, and did not probe into private matters. This was assuring to Yan Xiaosu and he was overcome with emotions. Gradually, he opened up and was not as tensed as before. He could see that, the parents were only concerned over their daughter’s relationship and nothing beyond it.
