Chapter 195: Rebirth From the Flames

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Truth chose a tank-type mech. It had strong firepower when it came to long-range attacks, but was incredibly inaccurate. By sheer luck, it was a beast-type, which assured that the mech was sufficiently mobile. If it were a humanoid type, the pilot would probably start crying at how ineffective it would be.

The audience started to cheer and scream the moment the ten mecha appeared on the battlefield. The audience became silent when the safety light was turned off. The galaxy-wide broadcast had started. Countless people had their attentions focused on this "friendly" competition.

As the name suggested, competition came first and friendship came second.

Truth took the lead and set up a trapezoidal formation. He would try his best to cover the Wargod No.1. Otherwise, Skeleton would not be able to play to his full potential.

"Brothers, take the front. I am counting on you," Wang Zheng suddenly said.

Prince and the others were desperate, so they did not want to complain about Skeleton's choice of the Wargod No.1. However, looking at the map that their opponent had chosen, the situation seemed bleak. This was not a solo battle!

But what had Skeleton said just now?

Brothers? Counting on them?

Damn, that meant he actually trusted them!

Prince and the others felt a power surge inside their bodies. Even their thoughts became clearer.

Damn! Weren't the enemies just a group of uncivilised barbarians? They really thought that they were better than us? If they were talking about raw skill, Prince and the rest were not any worse! The opponents were not necessarily better than them!

"GO!"

"Truth and I will take the front!" Hammer said. This was what support players did.

I am the best support of all!

Hammer felt that he was about to ascend to godhood!

Truth's eyes shone brightly blue. "I am the Truth. Remember this old man's name: Liu Dongliu!"

All ten mech warriors on both sides charged furiously at each other with laser weapons blazing.

The Immortal Barbarians were quite confident in their ability to suppress their opponents at long range.

The moment the battle started, the entire Immortal Barbarian team focused their attention on Skeleton. They aimed to obliterate the puny Wargod No.1 mech. Even if they did not succeed in blowing it up, the Wargod No.1 would surely be severely crippled.

There were still people that dared to use the brittleskin.

But Student Wang was quite wretched. In team battles, the first person to run out alone would definitely get destroyed instantly, even more so for a famous pilot. But it was a different story if there were teammates.

The top pilots of the Earth region were on his team, and they were not lacking in awareness nor experience.

They were just a little low on morale.

Truth was a flexible pilot, he could use both damage-type and sniper-type mecha. He rarely played as a tank. When he did play as a tank, his main focus was on suppressing the enemy and not dealing damage. At this moment, he demonstrated his strong piloting skills, suppressing his opponents' wholly!

People did not hesitate when they were inspired. Through this, they would be able to unleash their full potential.

While Hammer took up the support role, he did not expend his resources on offence but rather focused on defense. His full attention was placed on covering his teammates.

This role was dependent on technique, thus it was the most difficult role to perform. Some attacks were fatal and it would be silly to even attempt to block them. Other attacks had to be met head on as avoiding them would result in his teammates being isolated and attacked.

This role required critical thinking skills as well as excellent judgment, and a support that lacked self-confidence was useless.

Only one thought occupied Hammer's mind right now: Skeleton was totally dependent on his protection in this battle. Hammer knew that he was the key to victory in this battle.

Hammer entered an extremely focused state of mind to perform his support duties. He used the excellent capabilities of his energy shield to improve his team's defense. He not only helped the Wargod No.1 get into advantageous positions, he also helped to protect his other teammates.

The laser shots coming from the other side were accurate, but the Earth team responded with equally accurate laser shots. This was because Skeleton's attacks were so ferocious!

No, perhaps it was wrong to say that the Wargod No.1's laser shots were overwhelmingly ferocious, it was more correct to say that they were highly accurate.

With ten rapidly fired shots, he had suppressed two of his opponents. Everyone knew that there was no way a mech could be destroyed by those shots, as their energy shields were full. But the key in this battle was preserving their energy shield levels. Some attacks required a great amount of energy, so it would be a disaster if someone got hit while his energy levels were low.

With Wang Zheng's suppression, the pressure was lifted off the defense. This allowed his teammates the time and space to make better tactical decisions. The opponents' intention to focus down Skeleton was all too clear. Hammer and Truth performed defensive duties, Prince and Bragging Simon also went forward to block a volley of attacks. They could not leave Hammer and Truth to absorb everything, it would be too punishing for them.

Their opponents displayed their trademark flexibility. Although this did not give them a decisive advantage, it was obvious that they had the upper hand.

By the time both sides came within fifty-meters of each other, the Earth region had expended 40% of their energy shields and the Immortal Barbarians had expended 20% of theirs. Of course, the Wargod No.1 did not have any energy shields and thus both sides were closely tied when it came to individual energy levels. This result was much better than the previous battle.

Prince and the others then realized that their opponents were not that strong! They had not been able to crush the Earth region team!

Both sides engaged in melee combat and beam sabers were drawn from their scabbards. The Wargod No.1 also drew its titanium sword. The Wargod No.1 then left the protection of its teammates and dashed towards the frontlines.

The Jungle Scamper on the opposing team suddenly switched modes and with two pounces, leapt to the front of its team. It then switched modes again into the semi-beast mode and revealed the Lightning Javelin in its hands. In a flash, the Lightning Javelin was launched outwards!

To be honest, Prince and the others were taken aback upon seeing this scene. They felt intimidated.

At this moment, the Wargod No.1 moved a distance of five to six body lengths away from his teammates. There was a flash of energy from the opposing side, Wargod No.1 tilted its head sideways, and a shot from the Lightning Javelin streaked past its head.

There was a burst of exclamation from the live broadcast area. The audience could feel their palms getting sweaty. Holy f**k, that shot was aimed directly at the Wargod No.1's head.

What great self-confidence!

So close….

Both sides continued to close the distance between each other. The second blast of the Lightning Javelin was ready.

Swish….

Amidst the howls of surprise from the audience, the Wargod No.1 executed a strong horizontal movement and abruptly dodged a shot. This shot nearly hit Prince and it startled him.

Since the start of the battle, Yuan Long had his aim focused on Skeleton and Ella.

As Yuan Long observed silently, he had a bad feeling in his heart. Because from the point of view of Ella's group, he knew that they did not pay heed to the Wargod No.1.

The mecha were getting closer and closer, it was going to be a bitter battle.

A scout-type mech dashed out. It was obvious that it intended to obliterate the brittleskin. How dare a brittleskin do this! At this moment, Virbius had already prepared the third Lightning Javelin, getting ready for the crucial strike.

Ten meters….five meters….

Now!

The beam saber was ferociously swung towards the Wargod No.1, and the Wargod No.1 suddenly staggered back a step as if it were about to trip over. The opposing scout-type mech hesitated for at most a fraction of a second, but that was enough. The Wargod No. 1 executed its Leaning Landslide!

Almost at the same time, a volley of shots was fired. Virbius was ruthless, he had fired preemptively. This volley of shots was likely to injure her own teammates.

But Virbius was confident in her actions.

Boom….

The scout-type mech was hit and its energy shield started to ripple. At this moment, there was a bang….

The Lightning Javelin had hit!

But it did not hit Wang Zheng, it had hit the scout-type mech of the Immortal Barbarians instead!

The mech's energy shield was not full to begin with, and in an instant, it had been brought to below half. Wang Zheng did not stop there and proceeded to throw his opponent outwards. Behind him, the ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex rushed forward.

This was a direct assault. Moreover, it was a heavy tank-type mech assaulting a scout-type mech. A crushing blow was dealt.

Boom….

Someone on the opposing side got destroyed.

Truth howled like a wild beast from within his cockpit. The sound of the explosion had released him from his two days of torment!

Wang Zheng's target was very obvious, it was the opposing team's Virbius.

Although they had lost one teammate, the Immortal Barbarians still did not seem to realize the situation they were in. They continued to regard everyone except Skeleton as newbies.

Entering melee combat, the adaptable enemy mecha gave way to the stampeding Tyrannosaurus Rex. Each mech was matched against another, but their attention was still focused on Skeleton.

Generally, a team would be at their most relaxed after defeating an enemy. Virbius brandished her Lightning Javelin again. Wang Zheng avoided the javelin, and with a roar, he dashed towards his opponent.

At this moment, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was pinned down by two mech warriors of the Immortal Barbarians. And in an instant, the Tyrannosaurus Rex's energy shield was broken by the duo and it seemed doomed to destruction. Suddenly, the Wargod No.1 dropped from above, slashing violently. It had to give up its pursuit of Virbius. The Wargod No.1's titanium sword blocked the beam saber from the first mech while simultaneously kicking the other mech, sending it flying.

And at this moment, the Jungle Scamper, which was a distance away, suddenly switched back to semi-beast mode. Without hesitation, it brandished its Lightning Javelin and fired off yet another javelin.

Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!

If Wang Zheng wanted to rescue his teammate, he would definitely get hit by the volley. It could even be said that if he hesitated, both of them would be destroyed.

Yet at this moment, a roar was heard. An Electric Halberd descended from the sky! It was Prince's weapon!

What the f**k, the Immortal Barbarians really regarded us as newbies?!

The Electric Halberd strike bought a little time for respite as it forced the enemy back. The Wargod No.1 was given a little bit of time to avoid the Lightning Javelin. But then Virbius fired off yet another javelin. This was absolutely frustrating!

At the same time, the Lightning Javelins had suppressed both Bragging Simon and Hammer.

The Immortal Barbarians had displayed their ruthlessness! Virbius was feared not only for her offensive prowess but also her suppressive ability.

Tyrannosaurus Rex's attacks lacked technique, so it had quickly gotten overrun. Its energy shield was destroyed and it put the Wargod No.1 in a difficult situation. Should the Wargod No.1 save itself or save its teammate? But no matter who was saved, the result would be disastrous.

Virbius's Lightning Javelin was ready once again.

This battle had come to its conclusion.

The entire audience was silent. This was the deciding moment. There was no room for newbies here, every available teammate was a critical advantage. By common logic, the wisest choice was to abandon the Tyrannosaurus Rex and pursue Virbius in order to suppress it. If Virbius was not suppressed, the entire Earth team risked being annihilated.

The Wargod No.1 gave up on the Tyrannosaurus Rex without hesitation. It had to consider the bigger picture. But it still hurt a little. Were they going to abandon the Tyrannosaurus Rex just like that?

Boom….

The fatal javelin was fired. With his energy shield levels depleted, Truth calmly accepted his destruction. Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky.

War Emperor Type V!

Prince had arrived.

Prince's energy shield was destroyed instantly, but he did not shrink from the blow. He pulled out the War Emperor's Electric Halberd and kicked out while the Tyrannosaurus Rex rushed forward.

Boom….

Prince's strong engine control together with his Electromagnetic Gravity System came into play!

This was also known to the Earth region as Prince's Double Kill!

Only Prince could have pulled this off, and no one had expected him to arrive at this moment.

Although he lacked his energy shield, because the opponents had one less scout, they now had the advantage in numbers.

Some children who had come from foreign lands were stunned….these were the same people who got destroyed last time?

Chapter 196: Complete Destruction

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Hammer entangled the remaining scout desperately. The scout had almost killed Hammer with just a few hits. In this sense, Hammer was also quite skilled for being able to survive, but Bragging Simon's Pentastrike was no joke either.

Bragging Simon was a man of pride, and he was pissed off by the current situation, so he started hitting at things without thinking it through.

If he did not land his hits, Hammer would be screwed. And if Hammer was screwed, so was he.

The mech roared and the beam saber crackled with lightning.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM…

Hexastrike! He had broken his record!

At the same time, Hammer used an especially despicable move! It was the Sliding Shovel. To think that he could use such a move at such a desperate time to deflect the enemies' attack! It bought him another moment of respite.

This was sufficient. Bragging Simon was at the enemy once again, unleashing another Hexastrike while roaring ferociously.

After executing the second Hexastrike, Bragging Simon could no longer move as his mech's arm had been blown off by the force from his attack. But even if he were to be destroyed while standing right now, it would all still be worth it. The enemy had been dealt with.

Wang Zheng chased the Jungle Scamper in his Wargod No.1. The Jungle Scamper switched into the beast mode, which increased its movement speed by 20%, making it difficult for the Wargod No.1 to keep up.

The moment the distance was created, the Jungle Scamper turned around and fired off a javelin at close proximity.

There was nothing anyone could do about it.

It was useless. Given the Wargod No.1's current speed, there was no way in hell it could have caught up to the Jungle Scamper.

Poof…..

With a strongly controlled rotation, the Wargod No.1's chassis let out a shrill creak and dodged the incoming javelin.

But if the Wargod No.1 retreated, the Jungle Scamper immediately give chase. The Jungle Scamper's intuition was unbelievable; it was as if it knew exactly how the Wargod No.1 was going to respond. Another javelin was fired at the Wargod No.1.

Predictive ability.

Nobody could compete against this sort of mech coupled with its pilot's skills. This was a precarious situation. The Jungle Scamper's pilot could fluidly switch between the different modes and still maintain its battlefield awareness, staying one step ahead of her opponents.

It was as if a God was piloting the mech.

The distance between them and the others was too far apart now, so no one could come to their rescue. Both sides' offense and defense had turned into an array of lightning sparks.

Had it been another person in this situation, their brain would not even be able to respond.

However, it was as if time had stopped for Wang Zheng. It was under these situations that his brain was at its calmest and his body was most steady. The greater the pressure, the better he responded.

While the Wargod No.1 was rushing along, it suddenly started rotating. What…

This was not a time for acrobatic performances!

Rotating would only cause the Wargod No.1 to lose its balance. It was okay if he wanted to show off, but it might result in him losing his bearings.

But this rotation slowed down the Wargod No.1's moving trajectory by half a second, and the shot from the cannon had been aimed ahead of it.

But at almost the same time, a white light streaked out.

The titanium sword flew towards the Jungle Scamper's face with deadly accuracy.

The children from the Immortal Barbarian Star were stunned. Was Skeleton going to maintain his balance by controlling his mech with sheer force? Even if he maintained his balance while spinning, how did he manage to aim that throw?

But it was as if the Jungle Scamper did not even give it thought and turned on its energy shield.

This was definitely the awareness of a God.

Boom….

The titanium sword was aimed directly at the Jungle Scamper's face. There was a burst of energy and the hit caused the Jungle Scamper to stagger backwards.

The audience let out both a cry of surprise and a sigh of relief. Had the energy shield not been turned on, that blow would have definitely caused significant damage.

Virbius's reaction time was unbelievable.

And at this moment, the Wargod No.1 planted its left hand on the ground and lowered the entire mech in preparation for the upcoming fight.

Thud thud thud thud thud…

The ground began to shake. Rushing towards Skeleton was not a mech but a giant prehistoric beast!

However, even without its weapons, the Wargod No.1 was no less ferocious!

Virbius was planning to retaliate brutally! Just merely comparing the speed and agility of their mecha, hers was definitely better! She definitely held the advantage in a close-quarters brawl!

At this moment, the Wargod No.1 threw itself forward with great effort, soaring momentarily….. but it looked as though he was going to fall out of the sky!

My God!

The audience could see Virbius's mocking smile.

However, the Wargod No.1's right arm suddenly jerked out mid-air and caught hold of half of the Jungle Scamper's neck when they briefly moved past each other.

Bang….

It was directly dragged to the ground.

Inside the cockpit, Virbius was thrown around like a rag-doll. The sudden unexpected inertia nearly caused her to throw up.

But Virbius was no common player. Moreover, the CT environment was not as harsh as reality. Had this happened in actual mecha training, the pilot might have been unable to stand for half a day.

However, the Wargod No.1's reactions were quicker, and with a flip of its body, it rolled over and directly tackled the cockpit of the Jungle Scamper.

Holy f**k, if the Jungle Scamper got rammed, it would definitely be the end.

Boom…..

The energy shield was turned on.

The energy shield rippled, but the Wargod No.1 had pinned the Jungle Scamper beneath its body. The Jungle Scamper had excellent flexibility and agility, but what good were those if the mech was pinned under the Wargod No.1?

A deafening roar…..

Punch after punch was rained down upon Jungle Scamper's energy shield. There was a limit to its energy levels after all, and after six consecutive punches, its energy shield was shattered.

Ella looked at the giant face that raced towards her.

Boom….

The Jungle Scamper's head was punched clean off its body.

This was too f**king ferocious!

At this moment, Bragging Simon and the others were all standing behind. Even though they were on the same team, they all felt intimidated by the scene in front of them.

Those who had dueled against Skeleton begun to rejoice. Although they had been defeated, at least they were not totally humiliated. To be totally crushed in this manner would definitely leave a psychological scar.

"Bo…Boss! We've broken 20 million viewers!" one of the staff members jumped up and yelled.

Solon looked on with a calm expression. "Calm yourself, we've all seen the size of the galaxy. What is 20 million compared to that?"

All the staff in the hall looked at each other. The boss had learned to play it cool too.

Alas, his teeth betrayed him. The chief executive could not hide his smile.

Ross was ecstatic too. God damn it, could such a crushing defeat be any more humiliating?

Just a single substitution had gchanged the entire outcome of the battle.

The Earth region team had achieved victory with no losses!

Prince, Bragging Simon, and the others had all displayed their full potential. Every single one of them had proven themselves

Under the same situation, anyone else would have been terrified to not have a weapon to wield. But Skeleton was like a monster.

A slow-motion replay was a must. The killing blow must be included!

Except this time…it did not appear as if there was a technique used…It was just a display of brutish prowess!

In a way, it was cool beyond words!

The flames of the Skeleton Corps' banners were burning up and they were rushed into the Immortal Barbarian Star's discussion forums.

This was a banner of conquest, the second planet outside the solar system had been crushed

God damn it, their opponents had come to their doorstep by their own accord too!

Yuan Long was not too surprised, as Ella had performed as expected of her. However, against an opponent of the same capabilities, an average performance would surely see her defeated.

But this opponent was too formidable. He not only accurately assessed his own capabilities, but also that of his teammates.

He must have predicted when and where Prince would descend with his War Emperor mech.

The first parse of the video came out. It came from Yao Ailun and Super Xiu.

The video showed the moment the War Emperor descended. It could be seen that the Wargod No.1's legs were offset at an angle.

Chen Xiu drew a red circle on the video. At this moment, the War Emperor's Lightning Trident had not landed completely yet.

Skeleton knew that Prince would arrive as quickly as he could, and he showed no hesitation in his assessment. He knew exactly what Prince should do, as well as what Prince would do.

Student Ailun cried out passionately, "This was a moment that required decisive action; any hesitation would hinder any follow up attacks. This was a sign of trust, Skeleton trusted that Prince would do what was required of him. He also trusted that his teammates would do what was required of them."

In fact, Prince did arrive and perform what was required of him. Both he and Tyrannosaurus Rex destroyed another opponent.

"Provoking his opponents at the start of the battle was to draw their attention on to himself. This was very obvious, everyone could see that the Immortal Barbarians' attention was not focused.

Yao Ailun was a master of tactical analysis. Although Tyrant Su wanted to do the same, it was a pity that his brain was not as brilliant.

After all, Student Ailun's genetic score was above 90, which was considered a genius.

After such an analysis, who would still not understand?

This was the power of leadership. F**k whoever said that Skeleton was only good at duels!

The Skeleton Corps was howling in victory.

Psychological warfare was levied against his opponents, encouraging his teammates, inciting the situation while having impeccable judgment. What was most amazing was the trust he had at critical moments in battle.

In a team battle, if there was no trust between teammates, then it would only result in a disaster.

Since you had chosen your teammates, you had to place your trust in them. Only then would the team be invincible.

Prince and the others were watching this analysis. Although they had won, they did not feel exceedingly excited. They were professional players, and having arrived at this stage, they had no need for Yao Ailun's words. This was the kind of captain that could be trusted.

They did not need to say anything, they fully understood everything just by looking at each other.

The Earth Region was not that weak, but there was indeed a gap in raw power. But they were not weak to the point of being considered newbies.

There were more than 20 million viewers in the live broadcast. This created a new record for the Solar System.

Moreover, this was merely an amateur game.

Everyone was howling with joy; it was as if the Earth region had won the CT championship.

The advertisement boards in Tokyo as well as other major cities were live broadcasting this battle.

"This rascal is just like a crazy demon!"

"Such ferocity!"

"Heh heh, where can the Immortal Barbarians hide their faces this time? They could not even defeat a brittleskin."

"I heard that the one using Virbius is Ella. Heh heh…the goddess got destroyed, we could laugh about this for an entire month."

Only the people from the Norton Star could have said such mean words. The people of the Immortal Barbarian Star felt uneasy at the start, and the unthinkable had happened…they were worse off now.

Wasn't there this saying….the defeat of an opponent was a success for oneself.

Ross was lucky that Skeleton had chosen Hercules when he played against Norton. That mech had weak mobility. He would have been the laughing stock if Skeleton had selected the Wargod No.1 and crushed the rest of them.

Solon clapped his hands and said, "Very well…it has ended. The bonus for this month will be three times the normal."

Before the crowd had a chance to cheer, a staff member hurriedly said, "Boss, Immortal Barbarian's Virbius wants another battle. To be honest…..they demanded another battle.

Solon laughed. "Heh, they refuse to admit defeat, eh?" Looking at the amount of viewers, he of course wanted another battle to take place.

"Let him wait for a while."

Solon had to communicate it with the other party, but he got his answer very quickly.

As long as the opponents were up for it, Wang Zheng would not shy away from a challenge.

"What format does the other side wish to fight in, a duel with Virbius or a team battle?"

"Boss, a team battle of course! Just him alone would definitely get destroyed!"

Actually, it was not that Virbius did not want a duel. Her teammates were infuriated, they had been too careless the previous battle and ended up getting destroyed. They could not stomach being defeated by lower ranked pilots and wanted to vent their frustrations. These newbies from the Earth region! The Immortal Barbarians would definitely annihilate them so badly that their moms would not recognize their faces!

Chapter 197: Jungle Scamper's Ancestor

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The audience wanted more! The video analysis would follow up shortly.

Two battles!

Yuan Long, who was about to leave, felt stunned. Why was the battle still ongoing?

Ella was a little irrational at this point. She had prepared herself before coming here. If they had lost, they would need to first reflect on what went wrong, not enter another battle directly. On her side of things, she had predicted one move ahead, but her opponents had predicted two moves ahead. She should have realized this from the previous battle.

Ella predicted that her opponents would use a control-and-avoid strategy, she also believed that they were capable of it. But her opponents had thought one step further, they had predicted Ella's way of thinking.

This was the difference in consciousness. When both sides were evenly matched in terms of piloting skills, the level of consciousness would become the deciding factor.

The number of VIPs kept growing, this time mainly from the Norton Star and the Immortal Barbarian Star.

What sort of situation was this?

Prince and the others had regained their confidence. They were now calm and collected. They were very clear about the strengths and weaknesses of the Immortal Barbarian team.

Another battle was nothing to them.

But the opponents had selected a competitive lineup, this was to say that the previous match was merely a warm-up.

But what was the difference from an official game?

One could ban certain mecha from being used!

When everyone saw the mech that had been banned, their hearts skipped a beat. It couldn't be…they targeted Student Skeleton?

Upon seeing this, Solon was overjoyed. Who the f**k do you think I am? Do you think I would be fooled twice?

You can go ahead and ban whatever you want!

On the Immortal Barbarian side, the moment the selection came up, they instantly banned the Wargod No.1 and the War Emperor Type V. These mecha were obviously important to the team.

Was there anyone that had banned the Wargod No.1 this year?

Looking at Earth's team…

They were very confident, they did not ban any of their opponent's mecha.

"This is being a little too overconfident." Old Deer frowned. Although they had won the previous battle, 30% of the reason they won was because the opponents made mistakes. And it was obvious that they did not use their full strength. The opponents would not give them a second chance.

Banning the War Emperor affected Prince, but not significantly so. He had other mecha besides that.

Everyone's gazes fell on Skeleton. What was he going to pick?

The mecha library opened.

A stunning array of choices was inside the library; the full collection of CT was available to him to choose from.

Solon gripped his cigar with his teeth. "See that? Everything, including the limited editions! This is what I can do as the president!"

Even the professional players did not possess this sort of extensive mecha collection.

Wang Zheng was also stunned by the amount of mecha. He knew that some additional mecha had been prepared as precaution, but he never expected so many.

In the end, Wang Zheng chose the Jungle Scamper!

The comment section exploded with activity. This mech was the most unpopular of the unpopular choices. Only people who specially trained with it could control it effectively. Was Skeleton going to school Virbius in the use of this mech?

The Immortal Barbarians could not help but sneer. "This kid is too arrogant, he really thinks he can use it effectively."

Ella looked at her screen coldly. "Don't be careless, this guy is a sneaky one. He clearly intends to agitate use, but we will proceed as usual."

"Old Deer, do you think that Skeleton has a reason for doing this? Is he trying to provoke his opponents?" Bubbly Foam asked.

Old Deer had a grave expression. "In a way, yes. But the Jungle Scamper is a difficult mech to operate, it is not your run-of-the-mill mech, As we all know, all the contestants will pick a particular style of mecha that is similar to what they are used to. This would be easier for them to adapt to. The Hercules mech is similar to the Wargod No.1, but this time…I can only say that Skeleton finally has an energy shield."

The commentary on the Immortal Barbarian Star was even more passionate. "The team from Earth actually selected our mech, the Jungle Scamper! Let our Virbius teach them a lesson, not everything can be imitated!"

Norton Star's CT live broadcast room.

"Skeleton from Earth has finally picked the Jungle Scamper. This choice will surely agitate his opponents, but it might not be a wise choice. The Jungle Scamper needs to be used by a calm person; even among the Immortal Barbarian population, only a select few are able to fully master this mech. A person with average skills will not be able to grow accustomed to its performance. He will lose momentum when switching between the different modes. We do not know where Skeleton got his confidence from, but we shall see in this battle."

Moon's CT live broadcast room.

"My god, Skeleton actually picked the Jungle Scamper! How stylish!"

"Ling Ling, this guy is so cool! He does not give off the vibe of a person from Earth. If he really wins this, I wish to date him!"

The two commentators from the Moon were two beautiful babes.

Actually, even Prince and the others were very curious.

"Skeleton, have you practiced with this mech before?" they asked frankly.

"Of course he has, how else would he know how to use it?" Prince said.

"Nope, this is my first time using it. It feels very interesting," Wang Zheng said.

All of his teammates suddenly became quiet.

Was he for real???

It did not matter now, the battle was about to begin.

Map: Battle to the End.

This was a very meaningful map, and it was picked by Virbius. This map was also targeted towards the opponents.

As this map had a restriction on lasers. After all, in the Milky Way, there were some planets that interfered with the operation of lasers.

At the same time, there were energy resupply ships that provided limited energy supplies.

It was obvious that Virbius had been deeply provoked. This sort of insult must be answered in kind!

Even using lasers to kill her opponents would not pacify her.

Winning or losing was not the main point, the focus was to prove oneself!

The ten mech warriors entered the battlefield.

Upon entering the map, everyone felt that the Immortal Barbarians were too….wretched!

The map used the landscape of the Immortal Barbarian Star!

Could this be any more imposing?!

The Immortal Barbarian Star landscape consisted of rugged terrain filled with multiple craters. The problem with this landscape was that it was considered an irregular landscape, which added considerable difficulty for the mech warriors.

In the history of mankind, there had been several battles surrounding the Immortal Barbarian Star, and these battles had devastated the mech warriors.

They were using the landscape to increase their advantage.

But Prince and the others were professionals, so they had undergone training in this sort of landscape.

"The Immortal Barbarians have offered themselves as a meal," Simon boasted. Having executed the Hexastrike previously, Simon felt highly confident. He had always been adept at covert operations.

"Be careful, they have an advantage, do not be careless." Prince was the more cautious one.

Hammer and Truth both nodded. The opponents were careless in the previous battle, but that would not be the case this time. It would be a disaster if they were the careless ones this time.

The map forced both teams to battle each other in a narrow lane. Both teams had a ship behind them that could recharge their energy shields. However, there was a limit to the amount of energy available. At the end of the day, the only way to win was to eliminate their opponents.

This sort of mechanic would lengthen the battle's duration, as it allowed the participants to fully display their mastery of their basic skills. One mistake would not cause one side to lose the battle instantly.

It looked like the Immortal Barbarians had made their preparations. This sort of battle was either a win or a loss, there was no luck involved.

"Old Deer, Old Deer."

"Huh? What?"

Bubbly Foam laughed. "Aren't you going to say anything?"

"What is there to talk about?"

"You always provide commentary before the battle, it feels weird if you don't say anything," Bubbly Foam said, laughing.

Immediately, there was a wave of agreement in the comments section.

"Don't fret, I am observing Skeleton right now. The playstyle of this mech is different from what he usually uses, and I am not sure about his level of understanding of this mech." Old Deer observed Skeleton with an expert's eye.

"If Skeleton picked it, he must be very confident about his familiarity with the mech," Bubbly Foam said, laughing.

Old Deer shook his head. "It does not appear so."

Just as Old Deer finished speaking, the Jungle Scamper looked excited. It was as if it had been thrilled by something.

The battle had not begun yet, so what was it excited about?

The Jungle Scamper switched between the beast mode and the semi-beast mode. The semi-beast mode was easier to operate as it sort of resembled a human. The beast mode needed much more practice to accustom to, as it moved on all fours.

If the pilot was not careful, the mech would trip over itself.

Wang Zheng did not trip over himself, but…the mech was violently shaking. The human mode only required the pilot to balance the mech, but the beast mode was a different matter. It required the pilot to use both hands and feet to operate all four limbs of the mech. On top of that, there were two alternative ways of moving.

Operating the mech was easier said than done.

The others were stunned. Skeleton was not kidding when he said that this was his first time using the Jungle Scamper.

This sort of heedlessness could be taken as a form of ridicule.

The other team saw this as an insult. How dare Skeleton belittle his opponents.

There were no problems telling if it was real or fake, everyone could tell at a glance. If Skeleton was pretending to use the Jungle Scamper for the first time, the mech's center of gravity would be stable no matter how he tried to fake it. But…right now the mech was struggling to hold on to its center of gravity, so everyone could definitely see its pilot struggling to maintain control.

This…

"To me, this is daring to push a person's own limit. But Skeleton, do you know that this is a team battle? This battle is even more important than the previous one," Old Dear said earnestly.

Unknowingly, when the battle was against foreigners, Old Deer changed from Black Deer to Beast Deer. Winning or losing was an important matter to him.

His words were not wrong at all, they carried a lot of weight.

"Maybe Skeleton has a plan, you never know," Bubbly Foam said.

"Then I will wait and see."

"Which reminds me, Old Deer, you were saying something earlier. What will you do if they win this match? Everyone is very curious about this."

Young Deer gave a carefree smile. "The battle has not ended yet. My reputation is well known in this galaxy, when have I ever said something and not backed it up?"

Just then, Skeleton cheerfully pulled out the Lightning Javelin and injected energy in to it. It was a wonderful feeling. The Jungle Scamper pointed the weapon at to the sky and made a firing pose.

"Skeleton, have you played with the Lightning Javelin before? The weapon's strength decreases if it is not used within the optimal distance," Hammer said. As a support person, he had studied a lot of different mecha types.

"I have never played with it before, only read through the datasheet. But I have thrown a javelin before," Wang Zheng said. Chen Xiu had provided him with a very detailed datasheet, which Wang Zheng studied seriously. Bonehead had also covered all aspects with regards to Wang Zheng's weapons training.

Looked through…the datasheet…and threw the javelin before…what the f**k sort of reply was this?!

Hammer and the others were speechless, but….forget it, all they could do at this point in time was to press on.

The Immortal Barbarians were very conceited about their own weapons expertise, they had a long history after all. Compared to the Earth team's history of weapons expertise?

Was this a challenge to their ancestors?!

Chapter 198: Go Home Immortal Children!

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

"That little rascal on the other side is really good at jumping around, we must kill him soon!

"If we don't crush him, we will have to hide our faces in shame!"

"But he still has his energy shield, so everyone should still be cautious."

"I don't believe that he has such good control over that mech. Whether he is faking it or for real, there are only a handful of people who can use the Jungle Scamper properly. I don't believe that Earth has such people among them!

Everyone was still confident regarding this point.

Beam sabers started being unsheathed. Just then, the Earth team switched to the light beast mech, the Swift Dragon Second Generation. Without the constraint of long-ranged battle, this provided much needed flexibility to the team.

This was a battle without retreat.

The five mecha advanced forward towards the center of the battlefield. They maintained the exact same formation with the flexible Jungle Scamper leading in the front.

However…

It was obvious that the movements of Virbius's Jungle Scamper were much more flexible and smooth. The terrain was very rugged, but his entire movements were flowing without a hint of stagnation.

On the other side, Skeleton was moving at a fast speed, but it was also unstable. Looking closely at the Jungle Scamper's legs, it was obvious that it had to force itself to keep up with the formation.

Both sides were getting closer to each other, then they entered optimal shooting ranges. Both Jungle Scampers switched into the semi-beast mode simultaneously.

When the Lightning Javelins were drawn, Ella felt a strong sense of provocation. Who did Skeleton think he was to use the Lightning Javelin? Only those with the instincts of a beast hunter could use it effectively.

Wang Zheng held the Lightning Javelin. The mech was nothing more than a medium at this moment. He had to feel like he was one with the weapon.

Time to strike!

The Lightning Javelin roared.

Virbius's target was Skeleton, while Skeleton's target was the swift scout-type mech on the enemy team.

The instant that his shot rang out, Wang Zheng's Jungle Scamper switched back into the beast mode. The shot from Virbius's Lightning Javelin roared past him. While on the other side, Wang Zheng's shot had scored a hit on the enemy scout mech and instantaneously cut its shield to less than half.

"LMPO, what the hell were you doing? You actually got hit by that?!"

His teammates could not help but feel infuriated.

LMPO did not know what happened neither. Damn, he had been too careless.

But the morale of the Earth team was high!

"It actually hit. Dare I say this is beginner's luck?" Old Deer said.

Time stopped at this moment.

If God gave the Immortal Barbarian Star another chance, they would never have come to Earth.

But alas, the technology for time reversal had not yet been invented.

With this hit, Wang Zheng instantly felt good. He had practiced with the Eighteen Armaments of War in the Rubik's Cube, but this was not the main point. To Bonehead, these were nothing but basic tools.

Momentum?

Shouldn't all this be instinctive to a Super Soldier? Would he need to practice it at all?

A robot did not care about momentum, it only looked at the results.

But Wang Zheng was a living thing. In that moment, he recalled the accumulated muscle memory in his body.

Both Jungle Scampers retreated almost simultaneously while the other mech warriors advanced. The Jungle Scamper was a sniper after all.

Maybe Wang Zheng had been faster to switch to the beast mode, but after bounding backwards two steps, he switched into the semi-beast mode even before he had landed. He once again fired the Lightning Javelin.

Another shot rang out. PPA was engaged in a duel with Prince when the shot surged towards them. Without thinking, PPA dashed towards cover to hide. But he discovered that the shot was aimed at where he intended to take cover.

Bang….

PPA's shield was cut in half instantly, and he even received a slash from Prince.

At the same moment, Virbius's shot was avoided by Wang Zheng.

Virbius was infuriated. "Skeleton, charge at me if you got the guts to!"

Only now did the audience realize that Virbius was actually a female.

But the battlefield did not discern between one's gender. The moment the voice transmission stopped, Wang Zheng fired his Lightning Javelin at Virbius. Wang Zheng's strategy of attack was to cover the entire battlefield, he did not focus on any particular person. That would not be realistic, the key was to establish a global advantage.

Ella sneered as trying to mark her was simply…..

Bang….

Ella's Jungle Scamper got hit and was staggered. She had dodged the shot but was not able to entirely avoid it. Her energy shield immediately decreased by one-tenth.

This…..how was this possible?!

Wang Zheng paid no attention to her, his opponents' movements were too inconsistent. The King from the Immortal Star was operating her mech elegantly, spinning round and round. A shadow surged towards the King, and with strong control, the mech rotated and avoided the attack. This was the ultimate trick to avoiding long-ranged attacks!

Bang….

The audience, which numbered at more than 20 million, was silent.

It would have been better if that rascal had not dodged. In that moment, her energy shields were instantly cut by half. She had been distracted for a brief moment and was caught by Hammer. It was a pity that the strike from Hammer was an average hit and not a fatal one. But it caused the Immortal Barbarian Star to break out in cold sweat.

What the f**k kind of hit rate was that?

Ella became anxious and infuriated. She switched to beast-mode and charged towards Skeleton. Almost simultaneously, Skeleton's Jungle Scamper switched to beast-mode and made his escape.

It seemed like he was still wary of engaging Virbius in direct combat. This was a sort of tactic, avoiding the strong points of the opponent and striking at their weak points.

But….what the f**k was this? Skeleton did not turn around and flee, but rather faced his opponent and took three leaps backwards. He switched back in to the semi-beast mode and fired off another shot before he even landed.

Ella had not expected her opponent to attack, but the Jungle Scamper was indeed a versatile mech. She viewed herself as someone who had unequaled knowledge of this mech.

This sort of evasion was instinctive. That was the strength of the beast-type mech. As long as you operated the mech well, you were able to attack more aggressively.

The Jungle Scamper instinctively moved away from Skeleton's attack.

Bang….

A direct hit!

Another direct hit! The audience screamed in surprise. This was unbelievable.

It felt as if the opponent had slapped her directly. This shot shattered Ella's confidence.

She had dodged it, so why was she still hit?!

"Team Leader! We have to disengage and retreat for now!" Starry Sky said. Their energy shields were damaged and the enemies' morale was high. This was a situation to be avoided at all costs.

"Withdraw!" Ella said, clenching her teeth. It was not easy to remain calm in such a situation.

Yuan Long did not blink, so he could see the entire situation clearly. His defeat was not accidental, this situation was the same as the last time. With the foreshadowing of a battle, Skeleton had already mastered the momentum of his opponents.

The speed of their reactions, their dodging habits. Even their instinctive reaction to attacks! Every move that the opponent planned to do had already been predicted.

What kind of a person was he? He was able to keep as cool as ice in the heat of battle.

While everyone was consumed in the heat of battle, that person had kept a cool state of mind.

The others immediately withdrew upon Virbius' command. The viewers watching on Earth were howling with ecstasy. The second battle had the opponents on the run.

Those with a calm mind would understand that this was an important part of the battle. If the opponents managed to make it back to the spaceship to recharge their energy shields to full, then all the damage done previously would amount to nothing.

Everyone realized that this gang had chosen the scout-type and warrior-type mecha. The Immortal Barbarian Star's mecha were chosen for their dexterity and mobility, but…..they were still not able to catch up.

But then a figure sprang out, it was Skeleton's Jungle Scamper.

This was also the Immortal Barbarian Star's mech. But Skeleton was quite a distance away, would he be able to catch up?

"What a pity, Skeleton has quick reactions, but his position is a little too far!"

The Jungle Scamper switched into beast-mode and executed the Eight Consecutive Steps. Its explosive velocity instilled fear amongst the viewers.

Ella suddenly screamed, "PPA, look out!"

PPA was one of those in the rear. He believed that he was at a safe distance, but he had misjudged the explosive velocity of the Jungle Scamper, and in an instant, the Jungle Scamper switched to the semi-beast mode and fired off a shot with its Lightning Javelin.

PPA heard Ella, but it was too late, there was nothing he could do. As long as he was not destroyed by this shot, he would be able to regenerate his energy shield levels.

After Skeleton's Jungle Scamper fired its Lightning Javelin, it switched back into beast-mode with a deafening roar.

Switching to semi-beast mode, firing it's weapon, and then switching back into the beast-mode. The entire process was as smooth as flowing water, there was no wastage of energy.

Bang…..

All four limbs burst into action and the Jungle Scamper lunged towards PPA like a cheetah.

At the same time, the shot from the Lightning Javelin hit PPA, and his energy shield exploded instantly.

The mech warrior was so shocked that he froze. PPA wondered if that was a fluke, then he felt the murderous aura from behind him.

The Jungle Scamper descended from the sky and landed directly on top of the scout-type mech. Its four huge claws clamped down on the mech's head and ripped it apart.

Bang…

The body of the scout-type mech was still standing, but its head was missing. Then the Jungle Scamper proceeded onwards.

The 20 million viewers were all stunned. How was this possible?

PPA was hunted down and destroyed even though he was at what was considered to be a safe distance.

At that moment, the mech and its javelin seemed to have merged into a single line, it was too good to believe!

This blow thoroughly impacted the Immortal Barbarians. Who the hell was this guy?! What sort of monster was he to be able to pull that off?!

Once a person got jumpy, his reactions would become slower. He would also feel paranoid and would evade based on instinct.

Ella wanted to shout out, but it was already too late. This was something that could not be avoided.

Bang…..

This shot not only hit, it also caused an explosion!

Wasn't the shield the only thing that would explode?

Why did the mech also explode?

Ella was sweating. Firing the Lightning Javelin at its optimal distance would cause the greatest damage. She had practiced a hundred times and could only pull it off once.

The opponent was actually able to use it in battle.

Starry Sky was dumbfounded. Having half his energy shield level destroyed must have been a fluke, and he had assumed that he would be absolutely safe after that.

A moment later, only three people had returned.

They had the advantage of high ground, so it would not be easy to rush up from below. This terrain also limited the speed of the others, so they would not be as fast as Skeleton.

But Skeleton's Jungle Scamper had no intention of stopping, it continued its rush upwards.

Ella fired off a shot. She had to hold on and buy time for the others.

But the enemy Jungle Scamper easily shrugged it off, it then switched into the semi-beast mode and fired off a shot in return.

Ella's eyes widened. She would definitely be able to dodge this, definitely!

Bang….

Everyone was stunned. Why was Virbius standing still and not moving at all?

Before the sparks made contact, LMPO pulled Virbius back and rushed forward with his beam saber. It was crazy to be beaten like this.

At this moment, LMPO was like a mountain tiger ready to devour Skeleton.

Chapter 199: Great Demon King

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

LMPO revved up his engine and dashed forward in a straight line. He had completely disregarded his own personal safety. Even if he were to be hit twice, it would all be worth it as long as he managed to cut down the opponent.

Anger could also be a source of strength. As the distance between the two sides decreased, the beast-type Jungle Scamper made its move and retreated three paces. It then transformed into its semi-beast form and fired off yet another shot.

Boom.

The shot caused LMPO to stagger and he immediately came back to his senses. He realized that his way of perceiving matters was too naïve.

The durability of his energy shield was now down to only 43%. F**k! The shield had hit its limit.

LMPO dared not delay any further. There was only one way out of this situation. He had managed to execute the Bewildering Repeating Steps when he charged at the opponent just now. Given the difficult terrain as well as the speed at which he charged, he had done well to pull it off.

But why did everyone feel that the situation was so bleak?

There was no need for the Jungle Scamper to transform again. It made some minor adjustments and fired off another shot.

LMPO watched as the shot travelled towards him. The outcome of this battle had already been decided.

Even up until the end, he had no idea why all the shots were so accurate.

Boom.

Dualshot!

It was the ultimate lethal shot!

Wang Zheng was ecstatic. He was like a child who had just received his favorite toy.

Only two people remained, Virbius and DADI.

Their energy levels were full, but what could they have done?

Virbius charged in followed by DADI. There was only one thing on their minds: KILL!

The pair received hits while in the middle of their charge.

Both of their mecha crashed to the ground loudly. They had been shot out of the sky!

Ella rushed forward with the beast mode activated. Skeleton's Jungle Scamper charged in with equal speed. Were they going to engage in melee combat?

The distance between them closed to five meters. Ella continued advancing in the beast mode; this stance was at its strongest in melee combat. But Skeleton's Jungle Scamper transformed into the semi-beast form.

Lightning Javelin��it was too late! Using the javelin at this distance, was he seeking his own death?

Was he trying to throw the battle on purpose? Boom! Boom! Boom!

The spikes from the Lightning Javelin created a curtain of light.

One could imagine the amount of shock and awe that Virbius must have felt.

Boom

Jungle Scamper's weapons blasted away.

DADI was the only one left lying on the ground. But there were no signs of resistance from him… he had lost all of his fighting spirit.

Prince and the others had only managed to cover half of the distance. All of them stopped abruptly. There was no more reason for them to continue on.

At this moment, all they felt was self-pity. Was all this really necessary?

Why had they come to Earth?

DADI closed his eyes, but his opponent merely stared at him. He wished that his opponent would just pull the trigger and kill him already.

Dying in battle was honorable.

But right now, pressing the surrender button was all that he could do.

There was no glory in killing an opponent that had lost his will to fight.

Team eliminated!

As the duration between kills was too long, there was no announcement of a godlike streak. But in this one battle, they had experienced fear that was even greater than a god!

Earth Region Team: WIN!

The broadcasting studio was silent when the announcement was made. All eyes were focused on the mecha that had gotten slashed in half. Its weapon, the Lightning Javelin, pointed straight at the sky.

The sky was the limit!

Not just the opponents, even the viewers were totally captivated by this scene in front of them.

If a person who possessed the strongest restraint had to be named, it would be Old Deer.

"Alas, it seems like the legend of Skeleton will only end when I finally retire from the commentator's circle."

This unfunny joke shook the audience to their senses. The roar of cheers that followed was deafening.

The entire solar system was cheering. The Norton Star was filled with heated arguments, while not a single voice was heard over at Immortal Barbarian Star, whose audience numbered at 3 million. It felt as if the entire studio was empty.

"Formidable! Ferocious! No mercy was given to the opponent!"

"I am not interested in anything else right now, I just want to analyse the video the moment it becomes available. I feel that this will become a textbook method of handling beast-type mecha. I've seen quite a few of those battles, but all of them were kindergarten-grade compared to this one."

The commentators on Mars laughed as they spoke. They now felt that the incident involving Lie Guang was an insignificant one.

How could anyone believe it? Such an overwhelming victory was achieved while using the same mech as the opponent.

Skeleton did not turn on his energy shield for the entire battle. In fact, due to her lack of self-confidence, Virbius had already lost the battle the moment she turned on her shield.

But did such a god-like warrior even exist at all?

Inside an internet café, a certain tyrant wailed and howled like the wolves. It was a good thing that the entire café was filled with similar howls, though they were not at such a loud volume.

Solon sat like he was a wealthy landlord. He had one leg over the other and was holding a cigar in his hand. On his right side sat a bottle of champagne. He was clearly celebrating.

In actuality, the President's head was just blank. Every person's mental capacity had its limits. In all his years of managing CT, never had he seen such mastery or control of a mech.

Even for a godlike person, it would already be an amazing feat if such level was achieved within eight to ten years.

Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun started to busy themselves, it was their chance to shine.

Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun were two theorists who knew a great deal about the capabilities of mecha. Even before the battle began, both of them were already discussing the possibility of killing from an extreme distance. In the end, their prediction really did come true.

However, both of them were still stunned. They were not alone in this feeling…the entire region felt the same.

The initial hits were nothing, but the final few shots were of a whole new level.

The distance was accurately judged down to the millimeter. The Jungle Scamper's leap backwards was not to dodge an attack, but rather to create the right amount of distance.

Everyone's eyes were set on the first kill: PPA.

That was when the slaughter began. Initially, everyone expected the opponents to escape unscathed.

But in fact, the Jungle Scamper had already transformed into beast mode and given chase the moment the opponents intended to retreat. The opponents retreated quickly, but…

"Everyone, please observe that running on all fours result in the fastest speed. However, humans are not animals and thus, continued usage of this method after a certain distance results in fatigue…at this moment…"

Every explanation given was exciting.

Naturally, Skeleton had been in complete control. In that split moment, he had closed the gap between him and LMPO. As Skeleton entered the optimal range, he began his transformation into the semi-beast mode and finished even before he had landed. Any loss in control during the transformation would surely have resulted in an embarrassing sight.

However, the Jungle Scamper's shot was executed superbly.

"Did you see that? That display of self-confidence. He knew the shot would find its mark even before he pulled the trigger. If that shot had missed, there was no way he would be able to give chase afterwards."

Norton Star's commentator, "Number Seven", explained.

Not only this, he had discarded the Lightning Javelin and then proceeded to transform. This execution not only demanded strong control, but the ability to multitask as well. This was a method of accelerating quickly, just like the Immortal Barbarian Star's special swift beast variant mech. When the prey entered optimal range, the various limbs accelerated at different intervals to provide the sudden burst of speed. Although this method was not suited for long-distance travel, its strength lay in its ability to provide a burst of instantaneous speed.

Everyone knew that PPA was dead the moment this maneuver was used.

In the viewers' eyes, this was no longer a normal mech but a living demon king of the jungle.

Watching the game provided a feeling of enjoyment, but watching the analysis video gave them a sense of fear!

A crushing blow such as this would definitely take first place on this week's CT video rankings in both this solar system and Andromeda.

This would not be surpassed by anyone else!

The multiple precisely measured distances were the icing on the cake. No words of praise could do justification to the amount of precision displayed.

"Those reckless players all died in the end."

"It's better to be dead than having to face such an opponent."

"How absolutely terrifying! Where did Earth find such a person?!"

"Could this person have come from Atlantis?"

"I doubt it…the people of Atlantis would have definitely used their own mech variant. I think he's from Aslan."

"Judging from the ferocity of the killing blow, I think he is a blood soldier from the Arbiter Republic. He was so calm and collected, even when delivering the lethal strike. Ordinary people would have been too caught up in the moment to make such calm calculations."

Bragging Simon was happiest when bragging. He was grateful to see Skeleton's Wargod No.1 banned, which forced him to pick the Jungle Scamper instead. Had he been put in the same situation, he would have already thrown in the towel.

He felt that after this crushing defeat, the opponents would surely be forced to retire and become amateur streamers instead.

When the Immortal Barbarian Star team entered the battle, no one expected it to end up with such a result.

This was a team battle?

A solo battle?

No one knew that it would take just one person to put the entire audience in a state of frenzy.

God knows how many people stayed up all night just to watch this one battle.

One thing was for sure, the CT area would soon experience a surge in activity again.

This sort of atmosphere was what the Jungle Scamper thrived on.

This unrivalled killing power…this was a god-tier mech!

When Wang Zheng went to find Tyrant Su, Student Su had already entered another battle.

He was using his limited edition Jungle Scamper camouflage.

Everyone was filled with all sorts of idle talk, but Tyrant Su was searching for the same feeling that Wang Zheng had during battles.

"Brother Tyrant, please don't struggle."

"The opponent's jungle has been cleared…it must be Student Tyrant!"

Actually, right at that moment, Wang Zheng thought that Xiaosu had begun to slip up, but then something unexpected happened.

Yan Xiaosu had suddenly entered a wonderful state of mind. No one knew Wang Zheng better than Yan Xiaosu. Watching Wang Zheng in combat had put Yan Xiaosu in to a similar state of mind.

They were definitely not equal in terms of individual skill, but Yan Xiaosu was still bronze-ranked after all. Also, the opponent had viewed Yan Xiaosu as a nouveau riche without morals and had focused all their attacks on him.

The first shot that hit was followed by another one. Yan Xiaosu was in a wonderful state of mind. Although he did not quite know how to explain it, this mech suited his character well…he was afraid of dying yet he desired to show off his capabilities. Thus, he had fired the Lightning Javelin and then made his escape. Meanwhile, the fatty's wretched heart was able to sense and predict the route the opponents intended to retreat by.

This was because it was what he would have done in their position.

With just a simple group assault coupled with five of the ten javelin shots hitting their targets, the battle came to an end.

There was a roar of approval. Tyrant Su's heart felt greatly satisfied. He had finally found a mech that suited him.

Legend had it that every mech in the Wargod Covenant contained a spirit. When the spirit was paired with someone compatible, the individual's power level would instantly increase a rank.

No doubt, Tyrant Su had found his spiritual mech.

It was the Jungle Scamper with its hit-and-run play style.

It was because he wanted to hold on to that state of mind that Tyrant Su quickly entered another battle. Wang Zheng could not help but applaud him. His performance this time was actually pretty good.

Chapter 200: Old Deer's IQ

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

There were many such experts within the amateur circle. They mainly focused on one mech. They could be said to have understood the essence of the mech, so much so that they were considered to be more skillful than the professionals. The reason behind why they were not able to make a career out of it was because they did not have a broad selection of choices. This was a disadvantage as their mech would be easily targeted and countered. But then again, the pilot could enjoy playing only the mech that they loved.

This was one of the reasons why CT was so addictive, there would always be a mech that suited the player.

Yan Xiaosu was ecstatic. Never did he expect to carry the battle using his own abilities.

Although Wang Zheng had given Yan Xiaosu some tips and tricks, it was mainly because this mech suited Yan Xiaosu. To put it simply, no challenge was too difficult if the pilot enjoyed using the mech. Fatty loved using hit-and-run tactics. He had become accustomed to switching between the semi-beast and beast-type modes. With more practice, he would become a master at utilizing it. As for the Lightning Javelin's accuracy, it would be up to the pilot's instincts. Judging from the impact fatty made, it seemed like he had a talent for sniping.

Yuan Long had already sent the entire video to his master.

"Master…this was my misperception. The opponents' level was higher than ours. But Ella and I have totally different styles, how is it possible that we were totally subdued?"

Yuan Long's master, Black Decisive Fist, was a famous person in the Norton Star. He did not accept disciples easily.

Black Decisive Fist watched both videos seriously. "There are definitely discrepancies in virtual battles, but…..this person was able to wield this sort of control in CT, so his physical condition is not that different from yours and Ella's. He displayed great awareness….I heard of it a long time ago, but such a scene has not appeared for more than a hundred years."

"Are you saying that the long-lost civilization of the ancient Earth is reviving?"

Yuan Long was alarmed. The Norton Star and Earth had a special connection. Although there had not been direct contact for many years, some of the older traditions of the Norton Star contained traces that originated from Earth. His method of tempering the body was one of them, but with Earth's decline, no one wanted to acknowledge it. Of course, these methods were also adjusted accordingly to the characteristics of their respective planets and bodies.

But from just one glance, these methods' origins could be traced back to the highest realms of Earth.

Only the people from Earth could have done this!

"I can't draw a solid conclusion from this. I'll have to get it accredited by the league. We can only make conclusions if this is the real video of that battle."

Black Decisive Fist was very excited. If it really was true, then a lot of things would be set into motion.

Human civilization had experienced two significant leaps. Although these events had faded into obscurity, they were not completely forgotten. Instead, they had been hidden away. The Norton Star was one of these sacred locations, and the legends surrounding it were true. A god-like person did appear on the Norton Star, that person originated from Earth. And he considered the Norton Star to be his second home.

As for the earliest civilization, it became lost to time immemorial as its records were difficult to trace. The records of the second civilization could be found on all the major planets, but they were in the hands of very few.

The separation that had happened that year…..

Black Decisive Fist's eyes were full of longing. These were events that took place during his childhood. His teacher passed them on to him by word of mouth as these matters could never exist in writing.

Tracing its history to its roots, Earth might have been weak, but one individual had appeared amongst the humans. He went on and become the strongest individual recorded in legends.

Those times had seen great transformation and changes.Things were changing and history might repeat itself. The outcome was still uncertain.

Yuan Long did not ponder much about this matter. He was curious about this opponent, and he hoped that he would be able to meet him one day.

Ella must be feeling miserable right now; that girl was just too proud.

After the last battle, PPA and the others were totally crushed. They had lost their momentum and it had affected their state of mind. They might not be able to perform at even half of their previous ability anymore.

But for Yuan Long, this sort of crushing feeling had been reigned in.

This rascal was even more formidable than he had thought. Hopefully, he would be more than just a mere gamer.

A CT fanatic might have been able to perform those moves with enough practice. However, to do the same in reality would require completely different competencies.

Solon was ecstatic. The Jungle Scamper mech variant had sold more than 5 million models. This mech model was unpopular when it was introduced to the CT stores and remained so after God knows how many years. No one bought it even during promotions, but right now it had become insanely popular.

Most importantly, as president of the Solar System, he had won unprecedented glory for the Solar System region.

Not only was he proficient in a civil war, but also in a foreign war!

Skeleton was amazing when he was serious, he could totally trash the opposing side.

"Boss, the audience is waiting for Deer to fulfil his promise."

Solon laughed. "That is true, how could we have forgotten that? Give comrade Old Deer a close-up special."

The other regions were not interested in that matter, but the audience of the Earth region was totally absorbed by it.

Old Deer had attempted to slip away, but he eventually got caught and brought back.

"Old Deer! Don't even think about running away! Big Brother has bought a hundred milk cartons just for you!"

"Lewd Deer! Hurry up and eat the milk cartons!"

The audience was extremely enthusiastic. Old Deer was helpless. "Oh! Why bother with just these few milk cartons? Looks like I'm actually getting more famous. Excellent!"

"F**k! To hell with all of you! I will destroy another one hundred!"

"Brothers! Advance forward! Let's smash Old Deer! He dared to underestimate us, let's show him!"

Immediately, the milk cartons began to pile up. Old Deer was stunned. "What a fierce grudge! Why bother wasting so much money? It would be better spend it on actual milk instead."

The more sarcastic Old Deer was, the larger the pile of milk cartons grew.

A milk carton was finally brought up on stage. Old Deer's expression perked up, and with a big smile, he started eating it up by the mouthful.

The audience very quickly grew suspicious. What sort of milk carton was that? Why did it sound so crispy?

"All finished! This small, crispy brand milk carton…nutritious and healthy!" he said while flashing a peace sign.

The audience then realized that they'd been had! The comments section exploded in anger.

"Shameless Old Deer! Could you be anymore shameless?!"

"Who knows Old Deer's address? I'll carry explosives there tonight!"

"How sinister! This rascal can go no lower!"

Old Deer's personal forum also exploded in activity. But Old Deer felt pleased with himself, he did not care that this was being broadcasted live.

"Thank you, friends from all over the galaxy! You'll need to be more specific next time. And never underestimate the number one commentator's IQ. Thank you for tuning in and we'll see you again next time. Also, don't bother trying to find my address, as I live at a hotel. Thank you."

Bubbly Foam was stunned. He…actually dared to twist the viewers' words. What audacity!

Wouldn't he receive numerous complaints?

Solon was stunned too. But the data revealed that besides the unhappiness, there wasn't much else of note.

Only now did Solon realize that Young Deer really had become the Deer God. His unique style of ridicule would have made others get beaten up, but only he alone could remain unscathed.

"Xiao Ya, immediately issue commentator Deer a five-year contract. And remember to be respectful!"

Solon was a businessman, and a sensible one at that.

Actually, teasing Old Deer had become a necessity in the show. It would feel empty and dull if he was not around.

To be honest, it was impressive that he had endured it for so long. No one knew how Old Deer had managed it.

Yan Xiaosu was hopping mad. He had bought 5,000 milk cartons, but in the end….

"Boss…I've always thought that I had thick skin. But I am nothing compared to him! His level of audacity! Does he not fear death?!"

Yan Xiaosu could not hold back his laughter after that rant. "This is definitely someone who dares to play with his life."

Wang Zheng smiled. This guy had piqued his interest. Wang Zheng could tell a lot from just looking at a person's eyes. No matter what had happened, Old Deer's eyes always displayed firm resolve. This showed that in his life, there were things that he firmly believed in. That was his harbor; no matter how fierce the storm outside raged, he was unaffected on the inside.

Such a person would not have evil intentions.

"Actually, I would love to learn from him," Wang Zheng said, laughing. "But that is a discussion for another day."

Although Old Deer was not in the strongest league, he was still a diamond-ranked master after all. He would definitely stand no chance in a fight against Skeleton, but it was not a matter of the outcome but rather how many people would tune in to watch the match, at least on Earth.

Ye Zisu had also finished watching the battle. She particularly loved watching this battle as Skeleton was able to fully utilize the full potential of the mech. The CT data did not produce much information for reference, but for a designer, this would provide a lot of inspiration when it came to designing a mech.

On Earth, in the Asian region in Beijing, the temperature was 35.4 degrees Celsius. Category three winds with a cloudy sky, this was the perfect weather to go out and play.

"Zisu, the weather is really good today. It is not good to stay at home the entire day."

Ye Zisu lifted up her head from a countless pile of drawings. "Dad, I just sorted out some clues. Why would I have time to play? Besides, I just came back from outside a few days ago."

"Alright, alright…..my daughter is all grown up now, so she knows best. But Zisu, you're the future head of the group. As long as you have enough knowledge on mecha, that would be sufficient. What you are studying right now is just supplementary. This is not the direction our OMG business is taking."

Ye Bingwen shook his head while looking at the table full of drawings. He had sent his daughter to the machine department not to research on mecha but rather to gain an in-depth understanding of them. But then again, Ye Zisu spent her time outside school to experience how the company was managed. The rest of her time was spent on inheriting the culture of the company. The future of the business lay with her. Not having a deep understanding of the mecha would create additional difficulties down the road. Although it was a difficult path, this was the right way to go.

Ye Zisu laughed and said, "Just understanding mecha is not sufficient. As OMG grows larger and larger, the technical expertise that we have accumulated is still inferior to that of those large military enterprises. We still have many gaps to fill, so we must work hard in order to succeed."

Of course, Ye Zisu had her own selfish motives behind it. She had hoped to do something for a certain person.

Ye Bingwen was startled, but then he smiled. "Alright then, I did not choose the wrong person to succeed me. Dad is getting old now, so my views may be getting more conservative. You are right, if we are able to do it, then why don't we go for it?"

"In that case, Dad, if you have no other matters, then why don't you go watch television? Or perhaps play some golf?"

"Okay, Daddy will go play some golf. I won't be back for dinner tonight. Oh, right, the Norton Star celebration feast will be held tomorrow afternoon at home. The company's directors will all be there, and you will be required to attend too. Have a good rest and sleep early tonight," Ye Bingwen instructed.

"I know."

Ye Zisu smiled while following her dad to the door. After that, she delved her head back into the pile of countless drawings.

On the second day, the weather maintained at levels similar to the previous day. The temperature even dipped a little.

"Hmm….let daddy take a look at you. Yeah, you look really beautiful. What about the brooch that daddy gave you last time? Put it on…."

"Daddy, this is just a celebration event. This will do."

Ye Zisu commented. Luck played a part in the Norton Star's success, and this allowed her to gain some prestige in the company. Although she was the heir, a company was not run by a single person. If she wanted to manage the company, she would have to slowly earn the trust of the board of directors one step at a time.

Ye Bingwen felt helpless. This girl had grown up to become more assertive.

One by one, the important guests arrived, the political elites followed by the business executives. Ye Bingwen received the guests in the garden together with Ye Zisu.

"Hoho! Mr. Ye, it has been a while."

A man in his sixties greeted Ye Bingwen. He was accompanied by a young man with a sickly figure.

Ye Bingwen shook this man's hand with an affectionate grip. "Haha! Mr. Fraser, it has been ten years since we last met, and you still look so young."

"You flatter me. I've gotten old with age. I was watching a movie yesterday and I fell asleep halfway through it. Looks like I don't have as much energy as before."

"That film must have been too boring! Mr. Fraser, allow me to introduce my daughter, Ye Zisu. Zisu, this is Uncle Fraser from the Moon…."

"Uncle Fraser, who single-handedly established the Solar System's largest deep space transport group? How could I not have heard of you? You've been my idol ever since I was a child," Ye Zisu said, smiling.

The Xin Cheng Group was a centennial group that covered all aspects of the Moon. For nearly thirty years it was the largest transport giant in the Solar System. If OMG wanted to fulfill its desire to dive in to the galaxy market outside of the Solar System, a sincere partnership with Xin Cheng Group was vital.

"Hahaha, you flatter me. Ye Bingwen, your daughter is a fine lady. Ah, allow me to introduce to you my son, Dorisius Bloch. Compared to your daughter, he still has much to learn."

Dorisius smiled politely. He wasn't as bad as his father had described him to be. "It is my pleasure to meet both Uncle Ye and Miss Ye"

"You're being too modest. I know about him, Dorisius is one of the brightest young talents on the moon. In fact, he is one of the Eight Stars of the Moon. Zisu, please help me play the part of a good host to Dorisius. Young people have common talking points." Ye Bingwen laughed.

Ye Zisu smiled politely. There were quite a lot of young males attending this event, yet her father wanted her to solely host Dorisius. Really now…..

She nodded. She was curious about the Eight Stars of the Moon after all.

"Shall we sit over there?" Ye Zisu pointed outside.

"It would be my pleasure." Dorisius nodded.

Ye Zisu watered the plants as she passed by them. She was about to speak when Dorisius bust out laughing. "Hoho….from the looks of it, you were brought here for the same reasons too."

Ye Zisu blinked with slight surprise. She immediately smiled. "Not really. I guess, I've always been mentally prepared for this."

"Ditto, OMG has garnered a lot of attention. I believe that in the future, there will be many areas we will be able to cooperate in."

Both were heirs of their families, the future was in their hands.

The two of them talked about the possibility of strategic cooperation, but it was merely their personal views on matters. It could be counted as indulging in each other's ideas. Adults had their way of thinking, but so did the youths.

"The Moon's team did well at the IG training camp this round." Ye Zisu blinked and changed the subject.

"Miss Zisu is also interested in IG?"

"I was in Ares College's mecha department."

"Mecha department?" Dorisius was slightly taken aback.

"I don't look the part?" Ye Zisu laughed.

"Just a little surprised." Dorisius laughed.

"The reputation of the Eight Stars of the Moon precedes you." Ye Zisu giggled.

"Earth's performance was the real shocker. Four individuals obtained very good results, we were foiled." Dorisius smiled.

Both of them had a lot of common topics, both in business and in school.

"Does Miss Zisu already have someone that she likes?" Dorisius asked suddenly.

Dorisius initially gave no thought to this matter, they had only just met each other. He started to feel that Zisu was a pretty good lady, she wasn't bossy and she was a capable person.

"Uhh….." Ye Zisu stared blankly. "Why do you ask?"

"Hoho..I might sound a little narcissistic if I put it this way, but when we spoke with each other, your eyes would sparkle as if you were thinking of someone special. This person would most likely be someone you fancy," Dorisius explained. His eyes showed perception.

"Was I really that obvious?"

Dorisius nodded and laughed. "I was just curious which individual it was that you thought so highly of."

Ye Zisu's eyes wandered into the distance. "There is such a person that I have liked for many years." Ye Zisu smiled gently.

"Oh? Then I wish you all the best." Dorisius was not a nosy person, he merely wanted to understand his future business partner better.

"Thank you. How about you? Do you have a person that you like?"

"There is…but I'm afraid she sees me as a brother. But I'm still young, so there is no need to rush matters like these."

A figure appeared in Dorisius's mind. His eyes also wandered off into the distance.

Ye Zisu laughed. He was human after all. At least he was not annoying.

In the distance, both of their fathers were giving a toast.

"From the looks of it, it seems like both of are getting along pretty well." Fraser smiled.

"Hoho…young people are so interesting." Ye Bingwen nodded.

Both of them looked each other in the eye and shook hands. "Here's to good cooperation."

The planet of Atlantis was the seat of the Republic. It was one of the top ten mysteries of the Milky Way Galaxy, and it possessed both culture and secrecy. But mankind did not know that one of the conditions to get Atlantis to join the Milky Way Alliance was that Atlantis got to maintain its own freedom and relative independence.

Externally, it looked like an ordinary planet with its unique style of architecture. But the Atlantis civilization was a unique spiritual civilization. It was also a place where all of mankind's knowledge was integrated into its very essence.

But Mankind never believed that it was just another ordinary planet. Secret probing was done because they suspected that underneath it all, this was a terrifying battle fortress.

The Republic of Atlantis had nine major cities, each of them the size of Australia on Earth.

The streamlined rune ships were running in a busy but orderly fashion.

After joining the Milky Way Alliance, Atlantis underwent a series of changes. What had once been a completely conservative republic gradually opened up, and alliances started being formed. This showed that Atlantis was willing to seek a greater level of cooperation with others rather than maintain a neutral position.

There were countless exotic spacecrafts flying around both inside the planet and in its skies. Flourishing and efficient, these spacecrafts were flying different-colored streamers. The different colors signified that they ran on different tracks.

At the center of Atlantis was a large temple that served as the palace. To put it bluntly, the palace was actually only the outer part of the temple. The palace was the guardian of the temple.

The palace temple was snow white in color. It contained a main hall that was round in shape. At the center of the main hall was the altar of the gods.

At this moment, there was a beautiful white figure kneeling on the altar and praying.

Beneath the altar were twelve girls surrounding it. They were the priestesses of the temple. Each of them was be a pure virgin with devout faith and excellent qualifications. Each of their bodies was vaguely emitting a mysterious, dense, blue aura.

After an hour, the figure on the altar stood up and raised up her head. She had a breathtaking face. She gently stepped down the stairs. A pair of sparkling and translucent feet gently touched the ground with a faint rhythm. This was an extremely sacred event.

The moment she got off the altar, the sacred aura dispersed and in its place was the aura of a noble.

She was the master of the nine cities, the Queen of the three great stars, Her Majesty!

The priestesses assisted her with the changing of her robes. Once the robes of a priestess were taken off and the robes of a queen were on, the last trace of holiness faded away and was replaced by an overwhelming aura of majesty. This sort of majestic aura made all who laid eyes on her submit to her majesty.

"You may take your leave."

With this command, the Queen made her way to her palace.

The female officials submitted the documents that needed processing. These documents were not electronically stored like what mankind used, but rather were primitive books that contained writings in gold. It was actually as convenient as human technology, but only the people of Atlantis could use it.

"Your Majesty, his Highness Hao Lin requests an audience."

The documents were processed quickly and efficiently. In the short span of half an hour, a thousand scrolls of nearly 500,000 words were processed.

The Queen looked up and smiled. "Let him in," she said as she put down the golden scroll in her hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hao Lin entered respectfully.

"Your Majesty."

He bowed. His actions were really cute.

"Rise. Come here and sit down."

The Queen adjusted slightly so Hao Lin could sit on her lap.

"Was the human world fun? You have human ancestry, so it would not be particularly difficult for you to understand them, but do not be affected by them," the Queen said while smiling. She touched the top of Hao Lin's head.

"They possess riches and are ambitious and unbridled. But your Majesty, what about them worries you?" Hao Lin asked puzzled.

"Every civilization must have its flaws. The closer they get to perfection, the greater the danger of extinction." The Queen smiled lightly. "We are now in the Milky Way Galaxy, and our fate with mankind has been intertwined after so many years of peace. After all this time, the humans must be finding it more difficult to suppress their ambitions. We must take the appropriate precautions."

Hao Lin nodded. He knew that Her Majesty would never be wrong, this was God's guidance. Atlantis had been under the danger of total destruction several times before, but it had survived under God's guidance.

The universe did not care about the existence of a civilization, nor its extinction, because a new civilization would replace it. There was an irresistible force that governed this universe, and the greater the force, the more it was respected.

After thinking for a while, Hao Lin asked, "Your Majesty, there is one matter that I am concerned about. There was a human, and from his body I felt vibrations. These vibrations felt similar to…..God."
