Tempest of the Stellar War

Panda Novel

At the same time, it opened up a whole new discipline for those who were experts at energy. Some people were simply not skillful at physical combat. The lack of skill in physical combat could not be made up through training. Ultimately, it was impossible to compare with those who were skilled at combat. However, although their Ability X was outstanding, they could not unleash their full potential during battle. Now, the Maya’s Mantis had shown them that warriors who were skilled at energy could still achieve this.

Completely suppressing physical combat.

Confidence and arrogance flashed on Hinrich’s face. This was what he brought with him, complete suppression.

Lie Xin was out too, her face flushed red, body soaked through. When the energy shield shattered, the system determined that she had lost. The energy was beyond what the mech could handle. Dammit! Why did she have to meet such an opponent as soon as she came on? There had never been such a situation before. It was just impossible to defend against. The power exerted by the instantaneous attack was simply terrifying too.

It meant a lot for the Golden Wheel battle team to have won this round. Honestly, it was impossible not to feel pressured to have to face Saruman Snake. If they had lost this round, the Golden Wheel battle team would be on the defensive. Not only was Jondi Lilick composed, he also had a lot of faith in his team.

It was impossible to advance to the quarter-finals so easily.

At least not in this match.

Lie Xin was a little upset. Ai Xiaolu quickly helped Lie Xin to the seats.

“Can you still hold on?” Wang Zheng asked. It was totally unexpected that their opponent would have such a trick up their sleeves. But victories and defeats were not unusual. He had not expected to win all three matches against the Golden Wheel battle team. He just wanted his team members not to be injured.

“Not dead yet, sorry!” Lie Xin said with a bite. Utterly beaten at fire, something that she was an expert at, was indeed infuriating for Lie Xin.

Wang Zheng patted Lie Xin and smiled. “Don’t worry. Just unleash your capability during the team battle. Take a break and recharge!”

Lie Xin nodded, calming down. Did Wang Zheng mean that she would still be taking part in the team battle?

As the team captain, he needed to have full control of the situation, including the mentality of the team and insight of the situation.

There was no excuse for Lie Xin’s loss. The opponents’ new battle tactic was a total surprise, and they had a good gasp of Lie Xin. However, after this round of battle, Lie Xin would have gained some understanding of the opponent as well.

Round three, the Saruman Snake battle team entered first. It was everyone’s guess as to what other cards they had in their hands. Regardless of who came on, Wang Zheng or Achilles, there was definitely a chance for victory.

However, the outcome of this battle was obviously irrelevant. The possibility of the team battle ending in a draw was highly unlikely. As such, instead of wasting resources here, it was undoubtedly a better tactic to conserve all energy and efforts and concentrate on the team battle.

“Zhang Shan!”

“Yes!” Zhang Shan sprinted up almost instantly. He loved showing off at moments like these.

Jondi Lilick was not at all surprised. It took rationale to reached this stage. If it was him, he would not have gone up either. They had to conserve all their strength for the final team battle. But was it not a little too presumptuous to send on Zhang Shan?

Although the result of this round was irrelevant, winning would mean gaining a slight advantage. If they were to draw in the team battle, they would win.

If the team members were all defeated during the team battle, or the energy tower that they were defending was destroyed, it would mean that it was a draw, regardless of order.

“Hu Ya, teach them a lesson,” said Jondi Lilick.

“Don’t worry, Captain!” Hu Ya was rather impatient too. He was really curious as to how someone of Zhang Shan’s caliber had managed to stay in the mix.

Zhang Shan chose the mech that he was most skilled at – Aeolus.

Hu Ya also made the same choice – Aeolus.

There was no particular reason for his choice other than merely to use a mech that his opponent was skilled at to teach him a lesson.

Hi Ya was unable to control his urges. He was in the Golden Wheel battle team, with the great Jondi Lilick. But as a scout, and a technical scout for that matter, he had hope that one day he would get recognition from everyone, and not because he was just a member of the Manalasuo team. He did not despise the scout of the team, but he could not deny himself. He was unwilling to be resigned to be an unknown sidekick. Moreover, this SIG gave him an opportunity to amaze everyone. He wanted to demonstrate his skills to the world!

The other members of the Manalasuo team were also shocked by his choice. As a mechanic, he was basically very skilled at scout-type mecha, and this was a characteristic of Manalasuo. Nevertheless, the Aeolus was definitely not something Hu Ya was an expert at. During a battle, a mechanic would mostly choose a restraint-type mech, and this was the value of the existence of a mechanic. Of course, a similar mech was possible too. Although Hu Ya was not half as bad when it came to the understanding of the mech, he certainly did not hold the advantage either. At a crucial moment like this, the one with the most choices would be pretentious.

From a positive perspective, this would crush Zhang Shan’s confidence and suppress Saruman Snake’s morale.

Jondi Lilick was a little upset. He was not in favor of such a move. It would take more than just a trick like this to beat the strongest team. Besides, Zhang Shan was renowned as being thick-skinned.

From the expression of his opponent, Zhang Shan knew what was on the mind of his opponent. Trying to beat him at his own game. Really? On the other hand, Zhang Shan was somewhat proud as this meant that he was a force to be reckoned with too.

Caution was required for an Ice element scout because control and entanglement were his specialty.

In the Prime Minister’s Office, Kashawen had also ended the day’s affairs. Normally, she would go to the spa, followed by a sumptuous dinner. However, today she had the video on. She chose to watch the battle between Saruman Snake and Golden Wheel.

It was already the quarter-finals, and if Saruman Snake won today, then she could not just sit and relax. Her secretary delivered a glass of red wine to her. He knew the prime minister’s preferences very well.

“Mitchell is there, right?”

“Yes, Prime Minister. The Secretary-General is keeping a close watch on it. He will keep us updated on the latest happenings. But Lacus is there too,” replied the male secretary. A handsome man, a typical Aslan male. His disposition alone revealed that he was of no ordinary birth.

Kashawen smiled slightly. “This is right. That lass is more stubborn than me when I was younger, so it will take a little bit more time and effort to hone her skills. Her achievements in the future will be even better than mine. I want her to be the queen of the Milky Way Alliance.”

“Her Royal Highness will definitely understand your pains.”

“Haha.” Kashawen looked at the glass of red wine. It was a good wine. It was a famous wine aged about thirty years and from Earth. She liked the quality of historical precipitation. “I don’t need her to understand, I just need her to succeed.”

There was a demon-like perseverance in the calmness of Kashawen’s eyes. Everyone had their own beliefs. Obviously, to Kashawen, there was nothing more important than the honor and success of the Aslan royal family. She was willing to sacrifice anything, including herself, to achieve this.

For Kashawen, who had enjoyed the best of both physical and mental privileges, pure faith was what she was truly insistent in.

In some ways, she was very similar to some stubborn scientists.

Kashawen was waiting quietly for the battle to begin. Her secretary stepped out silently. There were many lonely moments for a king, and they had to learn to enjoy loneliness. From the look in his eyes, one could tell that the secretary worshipped the Prime Minister immensely.

Aeolus vs Aeolus. It looked as if the youngsters of Manalasuo were eager to impress.
