Chapter 1184: Group of Death

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although it was unlikely that it would happen, Aslan did not want to be the subject of gossip. The group draw for the quarter-finals was drawn by the representatives of the eight teams under the witness of numerous generals and organizing committees. The entire process would not be as exaggerated as other sporting events. The results would be announced under impartial circumstances.

Grouping was most crucial, especially at this stage. The Sea Queen battle team had obviously been labelled as the least popular opponent to meet.

To the contestants, they were more concerned about other stuff.

Almost all the teams were researching the runic technology of the Atlanteans.

Everyone had a certain degree of understanding of runes for some years now. Even Aslan and Elite Academy X had done research on the runes, but everyone had been taught a lesson by the Atlanteans.

This had been a rather shocking situation. Frankly, the Arbiters were not that weak, but listlessness was the likelier scenario. They had never faced such a method of combat before, so they had not recovered from the blow yet.

It was plain bad luck for the Iron and Steel battle team. They had helped the other teams learn a valuable lesson.

Wang Zheng and his team were also researching. He absolutely did not believe in being complacent, nor in the power of god. Any form of attack was dependent on rhythm and routine, and everything was traceable. The mysteries and fears had to be cast aside first. Truthfully, no matter how exaggerated the Atlanteans were, they were not going to affect him. In fact, Wang Zheng had grown up in an environment of fear, so he had built an immunity to fear.

Overall, the runic tactics should be the routine of the spiritual control of the Atlanteans combined with the runic technology. It was a similar concept to the humans' Ability X spiritual communication, except that this should be a more complicated stage. This should be similar to the creation of a practice by the humans. This inner routine of breathing was the routine used by the Atlanteans.

But there should be at least an eighth octave of breathing method to begin with, to be able to understand the rest. But basically no one knew about Atlantis' matrix formation, which meant that no one could find any insight.

Under such circumstances, the most important thing was to hone the skills to deal with such changes. From the runes that had already appeared, there were defenses, attacks, and teleportation. No wonder the Atlanteans were not concerned about the teleportation box. They had the transmission runes matrix. However, Wang Zheng did not believe that all Atlanteans were capable of this.

Even if they could, the speed, strength, and stability would not be the same. The Sea Queen battle team at this SIG was also one of the leaders of Atlantis. Every team, including Wang Zheng, had the same reaction after they had calmed their nerves. In truth, they had to give due recognition to the power of Atlantis, but it did not mean that there was no solution.

Understanding aside, it was not a problem yet. This was because only Atlatntis' next opponent needed to be concerned. Furthermore, each round after that would expose the limitations and characteristics of the opponent.

With more observations, there was bound to be solutions.

The remaining seven teams were relatively calm. They hoped that they would not be the unfortunate sacrificial lamb.

The committee did not waste any time. The night after the final eight teams for the quarter-finals were finalized, they announced the list of the line-ups for the semi-finals. The list spread instantaneously throughout hundreds of nations in the Milky Way Alliance.

Top half:

The Sword Shield Rose battle team versus the Child of Light battle team

The Dynasty battle team versus the Zero Degrees battle team

Bottom half:

The Saruman Snake battle team versus the Soulless battle team

The Sea Queen battle team versus the Heaven's Arrow battle team

As soon as the list of the line-ups was announced, there were loud exclamations from Earth, especially from Ares College, who was almost completely dumbfounded. This was… even the worst f**king b**ch would not be this unlucky!

The bottom half of the line-ups were practically the group of death. The most repulsive thing was Saruman Snake's first battle was against the Soulless battle team. Not Zero Degrees, but Soulless. This single difference in word was the difference between heaven and hell. Apart from the strength of the Soulless battle team, even if Saruman Snake were to win, how many of the members would remain standing afterward to get into the semi-finals?

Fine. Even if they were that lucky, and the whole team made it through to the semi-finals, they would still be facing the winner of the battle between the Sea Queen battle team and the Heaven's Arrow battle team. No matter how huge a dark horse the Heaven's Arrow battle team was, it was useless!

Ai Xiaolu was the one who had picked the draw, and this was undoubtedly a great honour. Everyone on the Saruman Snake team unanimously thought that she could be a representative. But after the draw, Ai Xiaolu herself was so dumbfounded that she wanted to… chop off her hand!

After this incident, Ai Xiaolu had never picked another draw in her lifetime. But this was another story.

Nonetheless, this was the final result, and no one could do anything about it. Cheating was not a possibility, since it was drawn in the presence of so many people, including the generals of the different countries, and the ambassadors were present too. Furthermore, she had made the draw with her own hands.

However, the Saruman Snake battle team was not discouraged. They had indeed "climbed" from the bottom to achieve what they had today. They were accustomed to the pressure. Furthermore, for a team that had worked so hard together and having gone through several phases of mistrust and trust, these young people had already built a very special bond. Everyone only had a fixed period of youthful days in their lifetime, no one could turn back time. Even if they had never spoken about it, a special trust had already rooted in their hearts.

After this SIG, they would probably be parting ways and pursuing their own individual goals. Therefore, if a storm was coming, they would go against the wind and head into the storm!

The situation for the top half was comparatively better. The Sword Shield Rose battle team had not particularly drawn a good lot either. They would be facing the mighty Child of Light battle team. The extreme energy was perhaps a real concern for Lin Feng.

Comparatively more balanced, and truly lucky, were the Dynasty battle team and the Zero Degrees battle team. Looking at the result of the draw, these two teams probably celebrated somewhat. At least they had a good chance of making it to the semi-finals.

On the other hand, the strongest team, the Sea Queen battle team, was matched up against the weakest team, the Heaven's Arrow battle team. Even though the Heaven's Arrow battle team's performance was impressive when they eliminated the Military Affairs battle team, they had already demonstrated their killer move. The Five Elements resonance was indeed magical. But the principle was the same. When it was employed for the first time, the move was really unexpected. For the team that had come this far, if the same move was used again, a targeted approach would definitely be available. After all, the resonance of the Five Elements was not as mysterious as the runic matrix of Atlantis. All the countries had done their research. It was only a matter of whether they could do it or not.

This period of rest and adjustments was enough for the eight teams to be in peak condition. Despite the evaluations of the outside world, by being there, everyone held the hope of becoming the champion. The contempt of the others was the best incentive for themselves. Allow the opponents to surrender for victory!

At the same time, the arena for the remaining battles had the capacity to host ten thousand spectators. A portion of this would be given to the various embassies and the representatives of the various colleges. The rest would be sold to the public. The purchasers of these tickets were limited to existing students. Among these, as the host nation, Aslan was given an extra five thousand seats. After all, the distance was far, and it was on home ground. I felt as if Aslan wanted to witness the Sword Shield Rose battle team reach the top at home. In addition, judging from the overall situation, the Sword Shield Rose battle team had a seventy percent chance of advancing to the finals.

The tickets were sold out within minutes.

It was amazing that there were a lot of rich students these days.

Apart from Aslan and the nearby regions, the rest would have to take the inter-galactic express. This was an astronomical figure. Of course, this was a perfect time for pretences. By coming to watch once, you could pretend for one entire year.

Although the road to this SIG has been rough, it was the first time in many years that such a large-scale military competition had taken place, and at the same time, it had been opened to the public. The organizing committee underestimated the desire of the average person's desire to understand the "secret."

Chapter 1185: Solidarity Group

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In just two days, the humans' super invincible intelligence capability exploded instantly, gathering almost all of the top eight players' background information. Even if they could not find anything, they could fabricate something. Thus, even Atlas and Locatelli had been given a legendary experience, half-truth, half-false. However, the experiences of the Atlanteans and Mayans may be more legendary than the fabrications.

All the players had arrived at the arena. Aslan was very efficient and methodical. The ability to respond to unexpected situations could fully demonstrate the strength of a country, especially the soft power. Aslan did not take the mechanical path like Arbiter. However, discipline efficiency was achieved through quality training.

Saruman Snake had also begun adaptability training. Everyone could choose a few mecha. The huge mech depository was astonishing. Similarly, Achilles had his own mech depository, but his selection was incomparable to that of Aslan. The styles and models were also the latest. This was the foundation of a country. Aslan had been too rich and affluent all these years.

Kashawen's tormenting strategy left a better effect for the SIG. From whetting the appetite with pre-selection viewing, to suddenly dampening the spirits by not allowing the viewing of the qualifiers, to suddenly having the opportunity to watch the quarter-finals. All the repressed emotions were suddenly released.

She was praying that Aslan could win the championship. Otherwise, all of this was nothing more than contributing to someone else's good. However, given the current line-up, there was a great possibility this could happen.

Anyone interested in the SIG had begun to find ways to travel to Aslan. Although not everyone qualified as a student, there were still invitations from the embassies, were there not? This was a political economic qualification.

A celebration of the establishment of a new route was held in the distant Maklou. Although there was support from HU, the route was not as plain sailing, with stubborn resistance from some smaller countries. However, when Mu Sen and Mobo joined forces to support the KO Group, those who resisted collapsed quickly. The simple truth was that whoever was unwilling to do it would be excluded. The route could be detoured. With the main connection point determined, the rest were not as important. Furthermore, this was a mining route. Other than the increase in costs due to the longer time spent in travelling, it would not pose any other inconvenience. This increase in the cost of the route could still be sustainable. But this benefit was not something that the small federations could ignore.

Of course, this was just a business skill. Soon, everyone signed the contract amicably, and the new mining route was finally completed. However, no one expected that Maklou would actually support the KO Group. This was indeed unexpected.

As such, the KO Group won a great victory. As a result, Jasper, Gabre, and Laurel also made a big profit. Jasper had already been identified as the first heir to his family's business. With his authority, he could mobilize the strength of the Tadinger Group. He had won the approval of the board of directors with his judgment and performance during this period. They also hoped that Jasper can lead the group to a higher level.

Although Gabre was not as fortunate as Jasper, with this performance, he had also won recognition, and qualified as the group's vice president. This was a sign of taking a big step forward. Laurel's family was even more powerful. This success was actually more like an icing on the cake, but Laurel herself was unclear – how had it come about?

Tita Star aside, Governor Mu Sen and Yan Xiaosu saw eye to eye. However, Yan Xiaosu and Mobo were clearly meeting for the first time, but the enthusiasm between the two was beyond imagination. These excessive personal feelings were obviously interfering with the usual commercial competition, resulting directly in the exit of the Margate Group. It was simply tragic.

With the general direction set, what remained was to invest and develop. Ye Zisu had already told everyone that Yan Xiaosu was also rather unwilling to stay. The SIG had reached a critical moment, and Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu had decided to go to the arena to cheer for Wang Zheng. Given their influence, it was not difficult for them to watch the match live.

"Ah, Brother Yan, are you leaving?" Jasper looked distracted. "Could it be?"

"The boss' team has advanced to the quarter-finals of the SIG. Zisu and I are going to Aslan," said Yan Xiaosu. There was no point in hiding from Jasper now.

"Oh, I've been too busy all this while. Gabre and I will go too. We could also see the heroic bearing of the boss!" said Jasper. Gabre nodded quickly. The two of them had already admired Wang Zheng from head to toe. Although Yan Xiaosu had not revealed anything, Jasper and Gabre could guess that Wang Zheng had likely shown his true strength. Sure enough, one strike was enough to annihilate his competitors.

These two guys had no clear perception for the SIG, they simply wanted to show their support.

"Brother Yan, who is the boss' opponent? Defeat them and win the championship!" said Jasper laughingly. He was in a really good mood.

Laurel, who was beside him, coughed dryly. "Saruman Snake's opponent is Arbiter's Soulless battle team."

"Arbiter? Are they very powerful?" asked Jasper distractedly. Although he did not know the team, he knew that the Arbiters were not to be trifled with.

"This is the strongest team in Arbiter. Aragorn is the champion in the younger generation of Arbiter. According to my intelligence, his strength is at least Earth-rank level 3, which is the strength required to win the championship!" said Laurel. It was clear that Laurel had done some homework.

Saruman Snake was in a precarious situation.

Jasper and Gabre looked at Yan Xiaosu. Yan Xiaosu smiled. "Laurel is right. The situation is very bad. The boss' team is in the lower half. The first opponent in the semi-finals is the Soulless battle team. If they advance to the semi-finals, their opponent will be Atlantis' Sea Queen battle team. The Atlantean royal family is personally leading the team this season. Apparently, before the competition, they had already demonstrated their strength as the number one team in the SIG."

Jasper and Gabre looked at each other squarely in the face. Were they… still going?

It did not mean that they did not want to give their support, but if they went despite knowing that they would lose, would it not embarrass Wang Zheng?

Laurel stared at Yan Xiaosu. Why was this fat person so calm and confident?

According to rumours, Wang Zheng and Aslan had a very complicated relationship. But one thing was certain: they were being targeted now. The current match-up was going to completely annihilate the Saruman Snake battle team. Apparently, there was a belief that there was an ability among the people with Ability X to interfere with the drawing, and they were able to do so without anyone's knowledge. Of course, these were just speculations.

This SIG had attracted myriad attention due to its unprecedented scale and the stimulating, genuine battles. The Aslan people would never allow any slip-up. The finals had to be between the Sword Shield Rose battle team and the Sea Queen battle team. This SIG was a united effort between Aslan and Atlantis to trigger a shockwave that would hit the entire Milky Way Alliance, the strongest coalition of the Milky Way Alliance.

Laurel's analysis of the situation left Jasper and Gabre even more speechless. Although they did not quite understand, they were not idiots either.

Yan Xiaosu waved his hand and smiled slightly. "Laurel, if you are interested, let's go together. Regardless of victory or defeat, you will have a different experience."

Here he goes again. Laurel knew that this would be the expression. This expression again. Although Saruman Snake was affiliated to Elite Academy X, and even though it was a team dominated by people from the Solar System, it was nonetheless very strong. However, if they wanted to win the championship, it was an absolutely a foolish dream. Be it political situation or combat strength, it was utterly impossible for them to advance to the finals.

They were very fortunate to have advanced to the quarter-finals, but she knew that Yan Xiaosu would have confidence. If it was in the past, she would not have believed, but she was not sure about it this time. She felt that her worldview and values had been colliding since she encountered this person. In fact… she had already arranged for the trip to Aslan. This was because she did not believe it, so she had to see it with her own eyes.

Chapter 1186: Oracle Star

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Location: unknown.

Meng Tian was sitting quietly on the bed, silently calculating the time.

This was a cell without a door. The ceiling emitted a constant white light, confusing the body's sense of time.

It should be the seventh day. Meng Tian gazed towards the corner of the cell. She did not know what the situation of the other people was. When she was captured, she seemed to have heard that the entire army had been annihilated. The enemy's technology was more advanced than theirs, and they were ready for it. One thing that was certain was that the enemy were also humans.

"What to do, what to do, what to do…"

The woman who was mumbling in the corner was Shu Yi. Seven days of confinement, and her spirit was already on the verge of breakdown.

They had not seen any other people since the first day. The daily meals were transported from a special pipeline, and no one took care of them.

Meng Tian practiced her own breathing method in silence. She needed to keep calm and kept her hopes up. It was impossible for the Milky Way Alliance to not receive any news. In addition, since the enemy had not killed them, they should have other intentions. She would only stand a chance if she maintained her physical and mental states.

Click!

Rumbling…

Suddenly, the sound of an engine turning on rang. The entire cell vibrated for a moment. She could feel the obvious movement of a moving car. This cell was actually moving at a very fast speed.

Shu Yi, who was on the verge of a breakdown, suddenly jumped up and looked at Meng Tian. Was there really a special mechanism inside the cell?

Giggling…

Along with the sound of a stuck engine, the walls of the cell suddenly turned into countless pieces of debris, and like the ants retreating in all directions, it soon disappeared.

This was not the only cell. More than fifty people were standing in a huge, open space, confused. Sunshine, wind, blue sky…

What was going on?

Time for exercise?

The air still lingered with the scent of pollen.

"Captain! Great. You are fine too."

A pleasantly surprised voice sounded.

Meng Tian turned around and saw Mengha and Pavel stride over. Obviously, like Shu Yi and herself, they had been locked up in the same cell for the last two days.

As soon as she heard Mengha's voice, Shu Yi's dazed eyes instantly restored its brilliance.

"Mengha!"

"Shu Yi, are you okay too?"

"Yes, what about you? And Pavel… Do you know where this is?"

Pavel, who had always been a man of few words, shook his head. However, it was obvious that he had kept his condition very well, and had not allowed these couple of days' confinement affect him negatively.

At this moment, someone walked over. A stranger, not someone from the deep-space fleet; his clothes were different too, but it seemed to be some sort of school uniform.

"Fellows, do you know each other?"

The few people who came over were understandably defensive, and that was revealed in their eyes.

"You are…?"

"We sort of knew each other before. It seems that everyone is the same situation currently. We have a very important piece of information to confirm, is it real or an illusion?"

A gigantic, white space, there were thousands of monitor screens under the lights. Hundreds of staff were examining the situations in each of the screens in an orderly manner. One of the screens showed the picture of the conversation between Meng Tian and the others.

The top floor of the space was the general control room that was suspended. At the moment, the window that was originally transparent was covered with a black cover.

Seated in the large conference room were thirteen people wearing robes. Twelve wearing black robes, and one in the middle was wearing a white robe. A middle-aged man was standing at the door as well, and his hands were hanging by his sides very respectfully.

"Big Elder, the last batch of the age-appropriate people have been released, including the age-appropriate people from the Milky Way Alliance fleet," said Rafael respectfully. He was the person in charge of this Oracle Star.

"Rafael, you have handled this very well, and have reduced the losses to a minimum."

"Thank you, Elder. But I'm a little worried. The agents from the Milky Way Alliance are also infiltrating through various means. Should we shut down the passage completely? I'm worried that leaving an opening…" said Rafael.

The elders' expressions could not be seen. The elder in the middle, with the white robe, appeared to have smiled. This was merely what Rafael felt.

"Project Oracle is the core of the Sacred Religion. Everything is dispensable for this plan. The plan can't be stopped. If it comes to the last resort, you need to show tenacious determination. I think you will handle it well."

"I understand!" said Rafael reverently.

The Sacred Religion possessed enormous power and reserves. But frankly, it was unwise to confront the Milky Way Alliance, which represented the laws of mankind. If a direct war broke out, the most likely outcome would be the intrusion into the dark forces. This was what the Sacred Religion was unwilling to see. Therefore, it was impossible to attack directly. However, the people of the Milky Way Alliance were trying their best to enter, and sooner or later, they would find a loophole. However, with the Big Elder's explanation, Rafael finally understood.

Although the Oracle Star was of unparalleled value, even the Sacred Religion had also spent a lot of effort. Nonetheless, on the path to finding the Holy Son and the Oracle, this sacrifice was insignificant.

In order to reproduce the glory and allow the Sacred Religion to dominate the light and lead mankind to the right path, the Holy Son and the Oracle must be found. With the Oracle and with the current power of the Sacred Religion, they would be unstoppable.

This was the core!

The opportunity had emerged, the seal had been unsealed, and the revival of the ancient martial arts forces was a sign. Through the power of the prophecy, the Holy Son had basically been preordained. The only thing that remained was to search for the Oracle. The Holy Son candidates would gradually be authenticated through experience, and the collision of the true and false Holy Sons was also a type of fate. Eventually, the Holy Son would be reborn.

Rafael left respectfully. The Elders looked at the images on the screens. The Oracle was a kind of power, the profound argumentation of the universe, and they did not know its specific form. The Sacred Religion's revival had been many years in the making, and they had amassed a lot of influence. However, the constitution of the Milky Way Alliance had matured, and the existence of powerful countries such as Aslan and Arbiter represented order. Victory was impossible in a direct confrontation. However, if they possessed the Oracle, these people would be vulnerable. Thus, regardless of the sacrifice, they must proceed with their plans.

The training of the Holy Son could not be terminated either. As for other aspects, the concessions could be made. The Sacred Religion would have the means to interfere. As long as it was not direct confrontation, there were still plenty of corrupt practices within the constitution of the Milky Way Alliance.

"This incident may be a good thing. The way the sacred disciples have been searching for it has been too mellow. The Oracle was born in the experiences of blood and fire. This is an opportunity."

Everyone was silent for a moment and nodded.

"In this case, I don't think it is necessary to stop the Milky Way Alliance from entering. These people may possess a gene of the Oracle. As a last resort, destroying the Oracle Star would be the only option. I will deal with the Milky Way Alliance. The dispatch of the fleet has been postponed."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

After the voting was over, the thirteen Elders stood up.

When disaster struck, there was no fear and no sorrow; when a challenge approached, there was no timidity and no retreat. There would be redemption even in death because he would dispel everything, and the glory of God will give you eternity!

After more than ten seconds, the figures dissipated and the conference room returned to quiet.

Chapter 1187: Light of the Knight

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With the semi-finals drawing near, Aslan was bustling with excitement. The traffic department of Aslan was also on high alert in anticipation of these big matches. At the same time, they had to prevent any emergencies. So far, from the press releases regarding the preparations for the battle, it was enough to handle even more bustling venues. Of course, this was not merely for the live matches itself, the major military colleges would also be providing more venues for the live broadcasts. After all, those who could be at the arena to watch the live matches were still a minority. Aslan also needed such results recently, especially in the military colleges groups. Since they had made this such a big event, Aslan did not want a defeat that happened at IG, allowing the Arbiters to win the trophy at their own backyard. All the students' enthusiasm was also very high. Every tactic was analysed. The tactical department practically turned the eight teams inside out.

Of course, this was not of much use. The eight teams had been hiding their strength, reserving their killer moves for the later games. Furthermore, a powerful team could make adjustments accordingly to their opponents.

Lear was very busy. He was making a complete investigation of his opponents. Besides, he also knew that the captain of the Heaven's Arrow battle team, Tang Zheng, was probably doing the same thing. A Holy Son candidate. He was from an ancient family, belonging to the core family of the Sacred Religion. This meant that there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that the Heaven's Arrow Federation was under the control of the Sacred Religion.

This was sufficient proof of the terrifying power of the Sacred Religion. It was amazing that an organization could do this. At the same time, this made Lear want this power even more. But for now, he could not be distracted by his opponents, he needed to get into the semi-finals first.

Going up against Aslan was another matter, and so was winning or losing. But getting into the semi-finals was the most important link in this competition. Once he was in the semi-finals, he would be in an unbeatable position.

Lear had also put in quite some effort on Ai Zhengyang of the Zero Degrees battle team. The Zero Degrees battle team were all Water element wielders. A single attribute could be very powerful, but at the same time, if it was targeted correctly, the result could be equally effective.

Lear had no intentions of hiding anything. Weighing the circumstances, if they won this battle, the rest would be easy. Therefore, this was a battle that they needed to put all their effort into.

The Sword Shield Rose battle team's opponent was clearly not to be trifled with. The power that the Mayans had shown was equally problematic. So, no one said anything about home glory for the Sword Shield Rose battle team. The Aslan people had to resolve the problem of restraining the mecha of the Mayans; otherwise, they would lose the first match of the semi-finals, and this would be totally humiliating for Aslan.

Simply said, to imply that the Sword Shield Rose battle team's chance of winning was higher was illogical. Both opponents appeared to be cautious. The Mayans knew that this was their opportunity. They had been inhibited for a long time and they did not want to be inhibited again. The power of the entire team was also stronger than ever had before. Through this battle, they wanted to announce to the world that the Mayans would be returning to the major leagues.

Needless to say, the battle between the Saruman Snake battle team and the Soulless battle team was similar to Mars crashing into Earth. Already on the verge of elimination, the Asura battle team also survived. It was difficult for Marzu and Olivios to endure, but they had to. With most of the teams staying behind, if they were to leave or dared not step out of their doors, it would be a sign of weakness. So, no matter how unwilling they were, they had to deal with it.

However, the Asura battle team would not profess to give the Soulless battle team any suggestions. Even if they had, Aragon would not have accepted them. Although everyone believed that it was a fifty-fifty percent chance, the Soulless battle team had 100 percent confidence. Aragon was 100 percent confident in eliminating Saruman Snake. The Atlanteans were the same too. As long as there was an element of surprise, and with preparations, the Atlanteans were not invincible, especially in actual combat. The Arbiters were best in actual combat.

The battle between the Sea Queen battle team and the Pioneer battle team was, in fact, the most relaxed battle. The strength and fame of the two teams had the most disparities. For the Pioneer battle team, all they had to do was demonstrate their strengths.

Tang Zheng was rather unable to reconcile with the situation. He had already come this far, yet he had to face the Sea Queen battle team. His chances of being selected as the Holy Son were very high, and he had the support of one of the elders. After all, he was from the most orthodox branch of yesteryears. However, the Atlantis hurdle was really difficult to overcome.

Although the eight teams could hardly be deemed to have triumph over adversities, they had indeed been busy honing their skills behind closed doors. Even the Aslan people would not be pretentious.

In the midst of busy preparations, the first battle of the semi-finals began. The opening big battle was between Aslan's Sword Shield Rose Battle and Child of Light.

The Light of the Knight Arena ushered in its first non-combat battle. The arena was sold out. Yan Xiaosu, Jasper, Gabre, Ye Zisu, Laurel, and Zhao Elin were already there. Ye Zisu was the first one to arrive. But they did not look for Wang Zheng, because they knew that the situation now was rather unique and it would be best not to distract him.

The contestants who had taken part in the SIG, regardless of whether they had won or lost, had their designated area to watch the competition, and they were the best seats. This was also the first time that the losers were gathered together.

The Light of the Knight Arena was rather well-equipped. They had taken into consideration the audience in the back rows and the upper levels. There were huge holographic 5D images, equipped with specialised technical analysis and energy meters. The various equipment was still being adjusted. The entire arena was under the energy shield, including thirty meters underground and beyond. It would provide protection from the heavy weapons.

The most important thing was, of course, the medical organisations. Treatment rooms were already setup within the arena, and the medical teams were made up of the best doctors and nurses from the Capital Hospital from Aslan. Those who lost their spirits to fight, or admitted defeat, would be considered to have been defeated. Any intentional causation of injuries or death were strictly prohibited. The final results would be judged by the jury.

The conditions of actual combat and virtual warfare were two very different concepts. More emphasis was placed on defense and caution. Unlike the condition in virtual warfare, it was rare that the vital points were attacked, there was greater emphasis on caution. This best reflected actual combat, and, of course, the risks were also higher.

Nonetheless, the risk was also equal.

All the political dignitaries of the countries taking part in this SIG were on the premier's rostrum. Kashawen and Aina were there too. Kashawen officiated the opening. But Aina had the right to be seated here too. Although Huiyin was the second princess, she could not attend such official events. Aslan was very strict with this regulation. It was comparable to Kashawen being the true ruler of Aslan, and Aina's father was more like the spiritual symbol. He would not interfere with the empire's actual affairs.

This also had very strict regulations within Aslan. This was to prevent power struggles from occurring. The Aslan royal family and the main forces of the country had a set of validation methods. These regulations were the basis of Aslan's foundation. No one could and would dare to undermine it. Although there was competition in Aslan, but there were no ugly political struggles in like the those in the Solar system.

The noise in entire arena peaked while waiting for the competition to start. For most of the people, this was the first time that they were watching an actual battle of this level. Excitement was inevitable.

Both the Aslan and Mayan warriors were in the waiting rooms, ready to stand before the audience.

Chapter 1188: The Opening Battle

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Looking at the time, Kashawen stood up, walking forward while stepping on nothingness. This was not a strength – gravity ladder technology – Aslan's advanced technology was everywhere.

The Prime Minister was all dressed today. Elegant, imposing, and gorgeous were inadequate to describe Kashawen's existence. The most powerful woman in the Milky Way Alliance had applied the technique of tactics to the extreme. It had long been demonstrated in the unique Aslan Empire and the one and only iron fist prime minister.

"We had an ardent past, worked hard to have a blessed present, and look forward to a bright future. What is the source of all this? Those lovely people, our guardians, the soldiers of the Milky Way Alliance. The battles are for peace, and for the sake of freedom. You are the young pillars of our Milky Way Alliance. I hope that you will inherit the excellent qualities of your predecessors. For the dignity of the soldiers, for the pride of the country, fight with your own style. Glory!"

Kashawen opened her arms and instantly the 100,000 people in the arena echoed with earth-shattering cheers. On such an occasion, the atmosphere was ignited instantly. The same cheers spread to the military schools throughout Aslan. This was Aslan's glory!

Now the host started to introduce the first teams for the opening battle of the top four. Representing the Mayan Empire was the Child of Light battle team, with a holographic image of each team member being displayed. Every introduction was met with cheers from the audience. Although it was an away team, the Aslan people gave their opponents enough respect and enthusiasm. Not respecting their opponents was equivalent to not respecting themselves. The Aslans did very well in this regard.

The national anthem of the Mayan Empire was playing in the arena. The image showed the Mayans standing, hands together and held in the air. This was a Mayan tradition. The unique Mayan singing and the Mayans' bodies appeared more crystal-clear. However, most of the humans did not understand it.

Next was the introduction of the members of the Aslan Empire's Sword Shield Rose battle team. When each of the holographic images popped up, it caused the entire audience to stand up and applaud. This was the home team, so the Aslan people's enthusiasm was undoubtedly high.

They had come here to witness the Sword Shield Rose battle team achieve new heights. This was the hope of every student in the military schools. This was the era of Lin Feng.

Looking at Lin Feng, Kashawen's gaze also revealed a touch of warmth. He was an important part of her core team in building the future of the Aslan Empire. Composed, generous, and possessed extraordinary strength, and he was definitely the best choice to assist Aina. This SIG would be the stage for Lin Feng. She believed that Lin Feng could seize the opportunity, and at the same time, Kashawen would not allow any surprises to occur.

There were 50,000 Aslan cadets present at the arena. At the same time, all the major military schools in the cities of Aslan's major planets had holographic live broadcasts. What was the purpose?

Human heart!

The human heart seemed to be illusory, yet it was also a vital part. These people would be the main force of Aslan in the future. Both the nobles and the ordinary citizens would dominate Aslan. Letting them witness the birth and growth of future leaders would undoubtedly plant the seeds of faith in their hearts.

Kashawen glanced at Aina. "These are your people. Do you feel that devotion?"

Aina could not refute. The support for Aslan's royal family was beyond imagination. It was the same for her as well. This was a kind of grace and responsibility, binding Aina as such that she could not move.

"I have dedicated the rest of my life to this country, and I hope that you will do the same in the future."

"Aunt, I am different from you," Aina whispered.

Kashawen smiled slightly. "Of course you are. You are better and stronger than I am. I am just a founder."

Kashawen could make Aina speechless if she spoke about the cardinal principles of righteousness, but she was in no hurry. Circumstances create the man, and not the man create the circumstances. As for the so-called legendary era, she had not experienced it, but she could create an era that belonged to Aslan.

Ambition?

It was too vulgar – this was a pursuit, and the pursuit was inevitably when a certain state was attained.

"Zhang Shan, don't shake your legs!" Lie Xin could not help but say. Why was this guy like a pendulum?

Zhang Shan held on to his own leg. "Hell, how can there be so many people?!"

Lie Xin and the others could not help but laugh. "Aren't you the one who loves to boast? This should satisfy you now."

Zhang Shan was filled with a mixture of feelings, including excitement and tension. With such a spectacular arena and with so many people, these feelings were completely unattainable in the virtual world.

You could even feel that the air was filled with a sense of boundless excitement, feel the breath of countless people, and countless souls and fanatics.

Everyone could feel it, and this was uncontrollable. At most, it was to pretend or otherwise. Even the Arbiters were the same. There was no such large-scale battle between the military schools, and the highest level was the IG, but the IG also had its limits. It was the first time this had happened in the eyes of the public.

If it was just a small battlefield, every soldier would have a sense of control and the desire for the stage. However, the stage was too far-reaching. Zhang Shan looked at it, and thought, if he was in it, could he control it?

The boundless cries shot to the skies. Would their brains be blank?

Even the Arbiters were the same. Only Aslan could be this extravagant. Perhaps some people might feel that they were invincible. It was because they had seen it, and they had their shares of experiences. There were infinite possibilities in the world.

When Luo Fei saw that there were so many people, his mind stiffened up. This was f**king a far cry from what he was used to. How could there be so many people, densely packed like ants?

However, Lear, who was beside him, was very excited. Lear enjoyed it. He did not move, but he seemed to have opened his arms in his thoughts, as the king of the world. No, this was too small. One day, he would stand on the apex if the Milky Way Alliance and accept the worship of countless citizens of all the planets!

This was Lear's pursuit. Naked ambition, unlimited ambition. He could do anything to achieve this purpose!

Wang Zheng's eyes were closed slightly. He was feeling the atmosphere under the same breath, but the feelings were completely different. Every cell seemed to exude battle will. Was this what the soldiers were pursuing?

Purity!

The Sword Shield Rose Team:

Lin Feng, Ouyang Chuanyun, Srepenier, Qian Yunzhuo, Eve Litt

Child of Light:

Matt Locatelli, Merte, Xia Dan, Bixhi, Morichi.

The members of both teams were very good-looking. The military uniforms of both Aslan and Maya were smart, very smart and good-looking.

In the VIP seats, Yuan Donger and the others were howling with excitement. Both the Ouyang and Qian families were represented in the match, and, undoubtedly, this generation was also the people who were pursuing Lin Feng. In the future, to build the foundation of the military, the royalty and the nobility needed to control the army, and this was the core.

This battle was to let the Aslan people know that they understood them and to pave the way for future entry into the army.

As Di Maria listened to the captivating cheers, every type of envy, jealousy, and hatred filled him. He once had such an opportunity. Moreover, this was a huge opportunity to demonstrate his capability, but he and Aurora had not succeeded. Who knew how much manpower and resources would be required to make up for this setback? As long as it was for Aslan's honour, the people were extremely generous. At the same time, the families that they represented would also be acknowledged.

Aslan's aristocrats were competing internally to show themselves as well. Families who were capable could control Aslan, while those who were not motivated or lagged behind during the competition would gradually be eliminated. It was the same for everyone.

Di Maria's family was once the leader, but his and Aurora's mediocrity had also limited the families' growth.

Di Maria did not want the Sword Shield Rose to fail. This was Aslan's baseline. What he needed to do was to find ways to improve himself, catch up and surpass!

As the selection began, Di Maria and others joined the cheering group too. All for the great Aslan!

The first match was also a very crucial one. So far, where there were confrontations, the tactical strategy was focused on group battle. That meant that they just need to win one of the first three battles and preserve their strength and fight it out at the group battle.

Judging from the situation in the arena, everyone could see the problem. Although it was huge enough for ten mech warriors to display their skills, the problem was that there was no cover. This meant that as soon as they entered the battlefield, it would be close-range combat. This would be the harshest encounter in the battlefield. Furthermore, no energy tower or the likes would be available for recharging purposes. This would be completely real combat. There was also another problem: the battle between the Earth-rank warriors could accidentally kill their teammates, and in such a competition, it was definitely not a laughing matter. Furthermore, it was vital that the snipers positioned themselves.

The Mayans were very composed. For the team members who were fighting as a team, such battlefields were more suitable for their performance. The Maya's Mantis was not a traditional sniper. The problem lied with the Aslan people.

Thus, the Mayans were actually very likely to fight it all out.

Everyone was guessing what would be choices of the captains of both teams.

Chapter 1189: The Child of Light

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Sword Shield Rose battle team sent on Ouyang Chuanyun in the first match. His choice of mech was Aslan's highly recommended Holy Light series runic mech.

Knight of the Holy Light.

Representing the Child of Light was Mertee, and he chose the Maya's Mantis, which had an energy conversion of twenty percent. In fact, the Mayans did not think that there was anything that could stop them. This time they used their killer move. Given their control of energy, even if the mech was in a dormant state, and at minimum consumption, it could still be detonated by the ode of death. A certain degree of damage to the mech would suffice. If there was complete restraint, needless to say, termination would be easy.

The various teams and even countries had been studying this issue during this period of time, but in the end, they found that this problem was unsolvable. Fortunately, there was only a small proportion of Mayans who could convert more than twenty percent of the energy. In fact, it was the same as the human experts. Such people were small in quantities and posed little threat.

However, in a battle competition, either opponent could be unlucky. As long as you wanted to win, you would have to either suppress your opponent, and not allow your opponent an opportunity to perform, or perish together.

As soon as Ouyang Chuanyun entered the arena, the audience started to cheer. The Sword Shield Rose battle team seemed particularly relaxed for this match.

It was uncertain if the Aslan people were pretending to be relaxed. Regardless of your identity, you would be regarded as a soldier once you were on the battlefield. No one would be merciful because of your identity, especially since the opponent was the Mayans.

"Come on, Brother Ouyang!" Qian Xuedie "howled" as well. The young lady appeared particularly excited.

Ouyang Ruoliu needed to be calmer. This was her own brother. However, Aslan's aristocrats were different, it was rare to have good-for-nothing rich children. On the contrary, the elites are often produced from the best education with superior resources. This was a vast difference from the pleasures of the other countries. Of course, in the Aslan people's aristocratic circle, extravagant things were still available. Although to have the honour, it was still necessary to look at the achievements in the military, political affairs, economics, and technology. In any case, one of the subjects was required; otherwise, they would be despised. As for the overstated things, it was a norm, given the wealth of Aslan.

This was another state of abundance.

The Knight of the Holy Light and the Maya's Mantis entered the battlefield. The Holy Light series was also the first runic mech mass produced by the humans. It had proven its performance in the previous match. However, when confronted with the Maya's Mantis, could it dispel it?

The battle began amidst countless cheers.

From the appearance, the two mecha were very elegant and splendid. It was indeed not the type that everyone was used to seeing. In the CT system, everyone might have seen or even experienced it, but watching the real mech live was a completely different perception.

The Maya's Mantis began to attack. An array of energy beams blasted towards the opponent. A swing of the left hand of the Knight of Holy Light, and the energy light shield appeared. This energy light shield covered most of the mech. At the same time, it did not affect its agility. This improvement solely was enough to cause the transformation of the mecha of various countries. The physical form of the energy shield would gradually withdraw from the historical stage. The full-coverage-type energy shield was bulky and energy consuming. Presented with this superior technology, its flaws were revealed clearly.

Merte's energy attack was very swift. For the Mayans, the higher the physical transformation, the better they would be able to coordinate with the mech, At the same time, they could better control the subtleties of the energy.

This was the unique aspect of the Mayan civilization, and it was also something that the others could not imitate. The light beams were getting more rapid. In an instant, the two beams penetrated through the energy shield, and actually drew an arc and attacked from behind.

This was the weakness of the energy light shield. It was unable to provide a hundred percent defence. This problem had certainly been raised by many people. But in general, the benefits of this energy shield outweighed the disadvantages.

This was the weakness of the energy light shield. It was unable to provide a hundred percent defence. This problem had certainly been raised by many people. But in general, the benefits of this energy shield outweighed the disadvantages.

Ouyang Chuanyun and the others did not have to adapt to such actual combat at all. This was because they rarely used virtual warfare training. On the contrary, they often used the mecha for practices. Aslan's royal family and nobles were very clear about one thing: all the glories and status were accumulated by strength. Born into sorrow and die into peace. The decline of the Solar System was a result of this. Drawing from past experiences, every adult male had to serve in the military service, and this included the Aslan royal family and the nobility. No excuse could be used to avoid military service, otherwise it would be equivalent to going against the entire system. No one could be spared.

Growling…

The energy beams blasted past continuously. The Knight of Holy Light rotated rapidly, avoiding the approaching energy beams. The Maya's Mantis was not good with melee. However, everyone knew that the Mayan Mantis had an invincible attack. If the distance was too far, it would not be as effective. If it was close enough, the attack could be released easily. Nonetheless, the Knight of the Holy Light did not seem to have a scruple.

Merte was still using energy attacks. It was not that he did not want to use the Maya's Mantis, but unless it was a last resort, he did not want to kill his opponent. This was after all, Aslan's home ground, and Ouyang Chuanyun was also an Aslan nobile. Once the ode of death ripples was applied, it could not be terminated. With his capability, even in a dormant state, he could still silence his opponent. Although it was actual combat, the Mayans were not ignorant of the ways of the world.

Locatelli had already reminded him of this before the match. Victory was, of course, of foremost importance. The Mayans had no cause to fear the Aslan people.

Merte could control the form of the energy. Ouyang Chuanyun's Knight of Holy Light could not get close as a result of this type of energy attacks. On the other hand, Merte's Maya's Mantis was thrusting forward. The humans' energy technology could not threaten them.

He just needed a close physical attack, but could he get close enough?

On the battlefield, the Knight of Holy Light was performing all sorts of dazzling movements to evade the attacks. The performance of this mech was certainly an eye opener for everyone, but it was useless. Any ordinary equivalent laser attacks were useless against the Mayans' Crystals. This was similar for the Holy Light series. The Mayan technology was still dominating the humans.

To most people, the Mayans and the Atlanteans both represented a more sophisticated civilization. After all, they had been around longer than the humans.

"Ouyang's temper is still the same." Qian Yunzhuo shook his head helplessly.

"Let him play a little. Take it as a demonstration of the performance of our new mech," said Eve Litt faintly.

Aslan and Arbiter had very different styles. Arbiter was strict and restricted any display of personality. But Aslan was different. Under the rules and the premise of pursuing victory, they paid attention to personality and encourage individuality. Countless individualities formed a whole entity, and this was its truly greatest strength. This was also a path for the Aslan people.

Ouyang Chuanyun, who had been evading, suddenly thrust forward and broke through the energy net. His speed was lightning fast. Ouyang Chuanyun was actually rather upset because the performance of the mech was too good, and he had no room to demonstrate his ability fully. Even though you need to be individualistic, you could not be too wilful.

There was not much difference in Merte's clear face. Suddenly, an energy light curtain separated the two mecha. Ouyang Chuanyun's Knight of Holy Light rushed forward without hesitation.

The energy light curtain was like a very strong wall, and delayed the Knight of Holy Light. Merte's Maya's Mantis began to fight back. At such close range, it could hit the light beams vigorously with intensity.

Not only did the Knight of Holy Light not retreat, the engine roared and accelerated forward. The runes on the body lit up immediately, and the stagnation effect disappeared instantly. The mech suddenly thrusted forward at the Maya's Mantis at full speed.

The Aslans in the audience cheered. This was obviously the superior performance of the Aslan's mech. The Mayans could equip themselves with technology in other countries and pretend to be powerful, but it was useless in front of the Aslans.

The misjudgement by the Maya's Mantis, and all the attacks fell through. The Knight of Holy Light instantly attacked, and the Rune Sword swept forward. This was a little too easy.

Merte was expressionless, and the radiance from his body flashed, and the entire Maya's Mantis also resonated. Growling…

The Maya's Mantis disappeared. The Knight of Holy Light appeared behind it in the next moment, and to the left side in the next second… the right side… the top…

Growling… constantly switching between seven or eight positions.

This was the streaming lights that the Mayans had used previously!

It was completely derived from the super-streamline traits and materials of the crystals. Together with the energy resonance of the Mayans, this type of attack was formed. On the road to the Mayan technology evolution, practicality was the priority, and giving up what was not necessary. Having energy was equivalent to having power. The only thing that needed next was – speed!

Unfortunately, light possessed energy and speed, that was why they were the Child of Light!

Chapter 1190: Holy Body Light

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Merte changed positions but did not make any moves. It was as if he was toying with his opponent. This was a tribute to his opponent. The Mayans did not require any Ability X. It was complicated and meaningless. However, his streaming lights maneuver was much faster than any wind or lightning Ability X. This was because light was speed.

The Knight of the Holy Light was not motionless now. Growling…

The Maya's Mantis struck. Raindrop-like energy beams enveloped the Knight of the Holy Light from the side. A series of positional changes had made Ouyang Chuanyu see stars.

Rumbling…

The energy light shield was sealed and the energy beams blasted in full force. The Knight of the Holy Light was forced to retreat twenty meters.

"You are not my match. Admit defeat or die!" said Merte, giving the Aslan people due respect.

Ouyang Chuanyun swung the left arm of his mech and the energy shield disappeared. A smile appeared on his face. "The mech's performance display is over. An exquisite piece of work made in Aslan. The Holy Light series is the future mech of the humans!"

… Everyone was dumbfounded. Was this advertising???

The little fellows had been played by Ouyang Chuanyun. But Ouyang Chuanyun was not bothered about it. Officially, he was an Aslan person. It was a good opportunity to promote their mech, especially since this series was going to be the mainstay mech in the future. Unofficially, his family had a share in the making of the mech. With such a good opportunity, and since it was free, it would be a pity not to grab this opportunity.

Merte frowned. "What's the meaning of this?"

"What I mean is, warm up is over. Show me what you've got!"

Ouyang Chuanyun was eager to try.

Yuan Donger could not help but shake her head. "Your brother hasn't changed a bit!"

"He's like that. I have given up already," said Ouyang Ruoliu softly. Compared to her brother, Ouyang Ruoliu was much more "composed".

The light was shining on Merte's body. His opponent was not being serious. Was he mocking him? If this was the case, he would have no more misgivings.

Boom…

The Maya's Mantis radiated brightly. The strong energy storm swept through. This vanguard of the Child of Light battle team was furious. This was an extremely dangerous sign.

The Child of Light battle team was emotionless in front of everyone. The Mayans understood the rules. But if the humans were courting death, their wish would be granted. It was not a big deal.

The Knight of Holy Light radiated brightly. This was because with the frightening power of the runic mech of Atlantis, the Holy Light series was not as exaggerated in comparison. The feeling was like learning Atlantis' secret after a great deal of effort, only to discover that it was not much of a big deal. That was the overall difference. This was also the reason why Ouyang Chuanyun specially boasted a little and displayed the basic performance of the mech. Aslan's warriors needed to show bravery, wits, and intelligence.

But even with victory, they would not let up. Ouyang Chuanyun smile slightly.

The runic rays radiated brightly. Spiritual power exploded and a dazzling light exploded.

Earth-rank… promising light ability!

Through the lights, Ouyang Chuanyun's face was filled with glory and arrogance. Lights, it was also something that he could control.

Streaming lights teleportation!

The glimpses of the lights!

Both mecha simultaneously activated their light speed, zooming around like two rays of light. It would be an exaggeration to say that it was light, but the speed of these mecha were incomparable to anything that was available in the market right now. Even with Ability X as a guide, it would still require the mech's own special composite physics to work. Otherwise, if the speed was too fast, it would be an issue too.

The focus was turned instantly to the big screen. The cameras captured the high-speed movements and was playing it in slow motion.

Like a ghost, the Knight of Holy Light followed the Maya's Mantis. Wherever the Maya's Mantis went, it stayed closely behind!

The Aslan people did not know how to imitate. Otherwise, they would have imported the mecha from Atlantis. This Holy Light series was custom-created for humans, and it greatly strengthened the changes of the human's spiritual strengths and Ability Xs. Runic energy was very good stuff. The humans had already formed their own systems, so promoting themselves would be the best.

Merte was getting more and more impatient and angry, and the lights of his body were getting stronger. But the Knight of Holy Light was still closely following behind him. Speed had masked the boorish movements and melee techniques of the Mayans.

Unable to shake off, let alone to attack. This had angered Merte. Boom…

With Maya's Mantis as the core energy, it suddenly exploded. The Knight of Holy Light also opened up a distance quickly. This was a brainless attack. This meant that the opponent was absolutely furious.

Ode of Death ripples!

An energy column appeared above the head of the Knight of Holy Light, yet he was still unable to escape. The major teams had come up with two methods after some research. One was to open up a distance quickly and leave the area of the attack. The other was to attack before the explosions. But when confronted with streaming light teleportation, these two options were not possible to execute.

No reaction. Ouyang Chuanyun did not appear to be doing anything.

The Knight of Holy Light was like a fool. Just lay down some plans. Even if he were to lose, at least his life would not be in danger!

Ouyang Chuanyun was not given much time. Boom…

Ouyang Chuanyun had lots of time for choices, but he could only shrug his shoulders helplessly.

With a bang, Merte was flung up into the air. Immediately following that, the Maya's Mantis was blown to pieces.

Ouyang Chuanyun was feeling very helpless. He wanted to have a little more fun since it was a rare debut. There were many psychos in the team, so every match was precious.

Ability X — Holy Light Mirror Image.

After a few seconds of silence, the voice of the host rang through the arena.

"Ouyang Chuanyun wins!"

The Knight of Holy Light gave a knight's salute to the audience on all directions of the arena.

For a rare Light element like Ouyang Chuanyun's, the understandings that the Mayans showed was really shallow. They were obsessed with the display of energy but did not understand the essence of energy. Changes and adaptation were weaknesses of humans, and they were also their strengths. This was why humans had become the dominators.

No one realized that the Mayans would not even have a chance to retaliate. But that was because Merte was confronted by a Light element Earth-rank warrior. He was absolutely a superior representative of the humans' Earth-rank warrior at the SIG. He could restrain energy. Could the others do it as well?

Aslan took the win for the vanguards' battle. But the competition had only just started.

Ouyang Chuanyun had returned but was still feeling quite unfinished. "What a pity! I can't fight continuously; otherwise, I'd take them out all by myself."

"Stop it. Don't be greedy. Eating alone is not a good habit. Also, can you not be such a hillbilly. Is this a place to advertise?!" said Eve Litt.

"Come on, beautiful. Our family's business is just a small business. Even if we were competitors, it's not nice to lambaste me like this," Ouyang Chuanyun said with a smile, although he didn't quite care.

To the outside world, this was a very evenly matched battle. Even if Aslan was confident, it was at most a sixty percent chance. However, the Sword Shield Rose team seemed very relaxed. Lin Feng did not pretend to be serious; he had always showed a relaxed expression.

Chapter 1191: Technology Restraint

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Which one of you is interested in the second match?" asked Lin Feng with a smile. The mood within the Sword Shield Rose battle team was obviously very relaxed.

Qian Yunzhuo's handsome face did not reveal much interest. "Locatelli is the only person on the Child of Light battle team that is a little tricky to handle. The rest do not possess any special characteristics. Who's up for it?"

"Me!" Ouyang Chuanyun replied immediately. The rest gave him a look of despise instantly.

"I'll do it. We will leave Locatelli to the captain," Sleipnir replied.

This was not a situation of strength or weakness, but also an issue of identity. This SIG was not merely a battle but also a stage. Only a battlefield was considered real battlefield. The other battles would be more meaningful. Like the warriors of the Sword Shield Rose battle team all had very high emotional intelligence and combat values.

Lin Feng nodded. They were not concerned about whom the opponents chose to send or which positions they chose. Lin Feng knew what the Prime Minister had in mind. Aslan wanted to make full use of this SIG to gain as much reputations as possible, and also the surrounding effects. Every operation had multiple purposes. This was true political control, total control. The Prime Minister was totally skilled at this.

There was no one in the Milky Way Alliance who could be comparable to her.

The Child of Light, who had been defeated in the first match, sent on Morizhitian for the second match.

Although it was a real battle, Aslan had indeed made very thorough preparations. In fact, when the strengths of the two sides reached a certain state during the battle, the outcome would already have been clear. It was very rare to determine life and death. The only thing that was rather unpredictable was the team battle. Sometimes, an attack overlap situation would occur. In a one-on-one, safety factors were still quite high.

Morizhitian came on. The Sword Shield Rose battle team from Aslan sent Sleipnir. Every member on the Sword Shield Rose battle team had extraordinary reputation. All of them were famous. In fact, their public image was not very tough. Aslan and Arbiter were different. Arbiter was constantly declaring to everyone that they were steel warriors and that they were invincible. Aslan, in comparison, was calmer, and they did not wish to display their tough side. Such was their style that no one had much information about the Sword Shield Rose battle team. Simply put, the Arbiters were arrogant smart alecs, while Aslan were more reserved smart alecs. They had different styles. The latter had an advantage as no one knew what their trump card was.

Morizhitian had chosen the Heavenly Crystal King. Sleipnir chose the Holy Light Shield from the Holy Light series. This was the tank mech of the Holy Light series. The Atlanteans did not have any tank mecha, but they had Aslan's Holy Light series. However, in a one-to-one situation, using a tank seemed…

The second battle began in the midst of countless cheers. Morizhitian did not have the slightest civility and took the initiative to start the battle first. On one hand, the Mayans did not think much about the technologies of the humans. On the other hand, the Holy Light series was the newest technology, so even if they had wanted to do any research on it, they simply did not have the time. But the Mayans certainly despised imitating Atlantis.

The Heavenly Crystal King's power was more ferocious, and more skewed towards close range combat. At the same time, it had very powerful energy output, both up close or at a distance. Streaming lights was probably the true battling power of the Mayans. The higher the energy level, the faster the speed. Combined with energy control, in an average battle, this was an unsolvable power, direct and efficient. But in a battle like this, it was a different story. The Sword Shield Rose battle team was not an inferior team. Confronted with the torrential attacks from the Heavenly Crystal King, the defence of Sleipnir's tank was impeccable. No matter which angle the Heavenly Crystal King appeared, Sleipnir's energy shield was always able to defend adequately.

This made Morizhitian a little anxious. He could not understand how the humans were able to capture his routes of attack. Morizhitian was getting angry as his attacks were blocked. The Energy Splitting Net attacked.

The humans' energy shield would not be able to defend against this killer move!

Confronted with the on-slaughter of the Splitting Net, the best option now was to use the teleportation box to evade, but Sleipnir did not evade. The energy shield was still solidly in place.

Boom…

The Energy Splitting Net and the energy shield collided, and exploded.

However, the Holy Shield did not suffer the slightest damage. There were waves of cheering from the audience. The outsiders were looking with excitement, while the insiders were looking for secrets and methods. In other words, the Mayans' technology to restrain the humans' energy shield had been deciphered by the Aslan people. But the Aslan people could not explain the core principle of this. Not only was the energy shield very flexible, the defences were also very strong.

No one knew for sure how much the Atlanteans were involved. But one thing was certain: the Holy Light series would definitely be extremely popular after this battle.

The uselessness of the Energy Splitting Net was somewhat of a humiliation for the unfavourable Mayans. This was because they had the impression that it would definitely work. How could it be useless?

However, they had neglected the fact that the humans were best at researching and studying. It had been a long time since the Mayans displayed extraordinary power beyond the norm, so how could humans be oblivious to it?

It was all about the use of energy. Indeed, the Mayans had very distinct control of energy, and the humans could not have imitated it. However, it did not mean that the humans could not find a way to target it. This energy shield was not a conventional energy shield – conventional energy shields could not achieve such results. The excitation and maintenance of the energy shield was due to the Runic Formation. This kind of energy shield had no forms or rules, but rather an order of energy. Once energy had a fixed order, it could not be easily controlled by the Mayans.

This was the core of the runes of the Holy Light series. Obviously, when the Aslans designed this, it was with very specific consideration.

The Mayans' technology was no longer as successful as before. In order to win, they needed to rely on battle technology to look for flaws. The Mayans were frankly not effective in this aspect.

The other members of the Sword Shield Rose battle team seemed to have expected this, and were not interested at all. When the Mayans' technology no longer had any advantage, there were actually clues to the streaming lights. For the masters, this was not a problem. They were just a kind of intelligent life form, and not real light. It was useless to rely on self-hypnosis.

Following a bang, Sleipnir used the energy shield to directly smash the Heavenly Crystal King, which was using the streaming light, to the ground, like swatting a mosquito.

The same movement had used so many changes. Did they really think that the humans were stupid? Other than the fact that he was not as fast, even if it was fast, a little advancement would be enough. The Mayans had too few variations.

Boom…

A loud bang, and the battle was over.

The Heavenly Crystal King did not suffer much damage, but the Mayan inside was already rendered unconscious from the blow.

The strength used was also well-controlled.

Second match, Sword Shield Rose won.

Chapter 1192: Pride

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"The Mayans are actually paper tigers. Man! They're actually so weak!"

"Yes! There's absolutely no resistance. The performance of the Holy Light series is really great. Aslan's technology is fantastic!"

"Well, you have to know who created it. This is the future of Aslan armaments for the next ten years. Of course it's fantastic!"

The praises for the Holy Light series exploded instantly.

Only the remaining six teams did not make any comments, not even regarding the Holy Light series' mech. The performance of the Holy Light series was already evident. However, the mech was a non-living thing, the key was the pilot. Could the Holy Light series be crushed?

This was bullsh*t. It was a surprise that the energy shield could target the Mayans' control of energy. However, what was important was Sleipnir's strength. Did he use seventy percent of his power?

Movement, judgment, control of the situation – he had completely suppressed his opponent. The Mayans were not as weak as it appeared. However, his opponent was weak in relative comparison. He was seen through comprehensively.

"This person is definitely Earth-rank, and perhaps he has already reached Earth-rank level two."

"Aslan is still so extravagant."

Using a level two Earth-rank as a tank, what would you call this if not extravagant?

Morizhitian's energy attack could not be defended by a level one Earth-rank warrior. But Sleipnir had defended it so easily, thus it would only mean that his strength was well ahead of his opponent.

Di Maria and Qiankun Zadeh had to applaud. Although they were Aslan people, they were still envious, especially Di Maria. His skill level was incomparable. Others might not know, but he knew thatSleipnir was very strong. He could be put up against Lin Feng too. This was the difference between the royalty and noblemen. Of course, there was also Ouyang Chuanyun and the rest. These people were equal to him in terms of skills, but he could only be an assistant to Lin Feng.

Di Maria was still a little prouder. He believed that he would be able to make his mark in the world. Even if he was to be a follower, he wanted to do it when his values were still greater. Now he did not know if there was still a place for him.

Sleipnir was expressionless. Qian Yunzhuo and Eve Lett were not too eager to perform. It did not matter to him. Afterall, somebody had to do it. Victory was a certainty, except that this was like a mech exhibition. He wanted to demonstrate all the capabilities of the Holy Light series, just like what Ouyang Chuanyun had done in the earlier match. There was no need for Ability X. The Holy Light series was able to interfere with the Mayans' energy control. At least it would not allow the Mayans to have their way. But Ouyang Chaunyun was too lazy to do that because he was afraid to lose his value.

He did not have a lot of thoughts. So long as he completed his mission, Lin Feng could not be bothered to interfere with such matters. After all, it was his own business as to how he performed. Unlike the Arbiters, the Aslan people were not as restrictive and without temperament.

But as a deputy, Sleipnir had a few more things to consider. Someone had to do all this.

No one had expected that a match that was supposedly to be evenly matched was decided by the Holy Light series' ability to counter-restrain, resulting in the Mayans being on the edge of the cliff.

Everyone's focus was on Matt Locatelli. The captain of the Child of Light battle team obviously would not be satisfied with the current situation. The Mayans had not partaken in this SIG only to be defeated in the semi- finals, regardless of who the opponents were. However, the intelligence that the Mayans had was not enough. Most importantly, they had underestimated their opponent. They had always believed that the humans were still the same as they were when they first met the Mayans a few centuries ago. The Mayans did not know that during the period that they were forced to keep a low profile, the humans had progressed to a point where they could compete with them. The humans' ability to learn was the truly invincible skill in this universe.

Of course, it was too early to say that defeat was a certainty at this moment. The Mayans' energy control was even more astonishing in a team battle. It was still unknown if the energy superposition control would be able to break through the acceptance level of the Holy Light series. Oftentimes, it was a fine line between restraint and counter-restraint.

Matt Locatelli, a member of the royal family of the Mayans. At the same time, the person in the Child of Light team who had the highest energy conversion ability. What exactly was his strength?

Matt Locatelli stepped into the battlefield. He had to defend the Mayans' honour.

All eyes were on Sword Shield Rose. Sword Shield Rose actually had many options at the moment. They could go all out and fight, or leave it till the team battle, or they could even allow other people to take part. From the performances so far, every member on the Sword Shield Rose team had the capability to take charge on them own. The previous battles had also been very easy.

However, Lin Feng did not make everyone wait too long. He had also stepped into the field. With the battle for a place in the semi-finals, and as the host, Lin Feng had to give due respect for his guests.

Captain vs captain!

This was Aslan's way of doing things. No one could find fault with them. Even if they were to lose, they would not have much complaints.

If someone else had been on the field and won, it would seem trivial. After all, it was survival of the fittest. However, the SIG was just a competition. After the competition, they still had to deal with international relations. It would seem like the Aslan people had looked down on the Mayans. However, if Lin Feng came on, it meant that they had shown more than enough respect for their opponent.

Kashawen nodded in satisfaction. All the past glories had been concentrated on Aslan. The real winner would have the last laugh. The earlier matches were just foreshadowing what was to come. This kid, Lin Feng, was getting more mature. His abilities of judgement, plotting, and control were quite good too.

The fact that he was able to control this group of arrogant people was in itself no small feat. Being royalty was not enough to make people submit to him. In Aslan, strength was what mattered amongst the nobles. Only strength would convince people. Status was just a stepping stone.

Looking at Ouyang Chuanyun, Qian Yunzhuo, and the rest, none of them were docile little lambs.

The question now became: would the Mayans drag the competition into team battle, or would Lin Feng swiftly finish it off?

Lin Feng came on, obviously not with the intention to lose. Him choosing this moment to come on in front of the many supporters meant that he wanted to finish off the competition himself. If he lost, then the team battle would surely be a defeat. The morale of the team would be utterly shattered.

Of course, Matt Locatelli understood this. Instead of dragging it to the team battle, he wished to face Lin Feng now. However, whoever won this battle would be equivalent to have won half of the competition. The Mayan civilization placed a lot of respect on levels. To Matt Locatelli, Lin Feng taking the initiative to battle was a kind of respect.

Decisive battle!

Matt Locatelli — Blessings of Itsamna!

Lin Feng — Knight of Holy Light!

Itsamna was a Mayan god, which also carried the meaning of Sun God. After all, they were the second civilization on Earth. Even though they had come out, they still maintained their beliefs. Of course, the Mayans had a more profound understanding. This series of crystal mech was also known as the Crystal Sun God.

This was a special crystal mech that belonged to the Mayans.

Matt Locatelli, the prince of Maya, carried a huge burden too. The earlier performance of the Child of Light battle team had been excellent. If they were to lose now, it would mean giving Aslan a big gift. This was quite bad for an international situation. Matt Locatelli had to give it his all; otherwise, the future plans of the Mayans would suffer a huge setback.

Lin Feng had no way to retreat. Since he had decided to come on, he needed to have the courage to face the consequences.

In this SIG, beyond those complex identities, Lin Feng was a soldier, a warrior.

The Sun God Battle Crystal versus Knight of Holy Light.

Chapter 1193: Spirit of the Knight Sun God Battle Crystal

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"There are so many handsome men in Aslan. They could easily earn a living with their good looks, but they choose to conquer the world" Jasper sighed. Jasper was a knowledgeable affluent second generation, but he felt like a hillbilly in Aslan.

"The Mayans are so weak. Aslan had been crushing them all the way," said Gabre too. This funny pair was literally taking like this was a vacation. They had already taken care of the big business, so they were in very pleasant mood and could watch the fun, thus they were in a very good mood.

Yan Xiaosu did not make a comment. In the past, he would have joined in, but now he had no intuitive judgement about the strength and weakness. This is because there was a lot of differences from what was true and what could be seen. He was still worried about Kashawen. The higher he set his sights, the more he felt that this old lady was unfathomable.

Ye Zisu smiled. "The Mayans aren't weak. Aslan is just too strong."

"Is it? From what I can see, those mecha were just moving about, afraid of getting hit. The Mayan are past their prime," said Gabre.

Laurel shook her head. "The Child of Light battle team is beyond a doubt one of the strongest teams in this SIG. But Aslan has found a way to restrain them technically."

Laurel and Ye Zisu were not particularly the types that got along, and of course, they would not go against each other, but they could not be intimate either. Nevertheless, in terms of judgement and vision, they were indeed unanimous. Ye Zisu, she had not been idle these past few years. Researching mecha meant having to understand the strengths of the warriors, including their Ability X and so on.

From Aslan's performance, one could see that they were "playing". They were not serious about it. They were actually taking risks on such a big competition. This also meant that their strengths were very strong. So strong that they were not concerned. Whether attitude was a problem or not was dependent on the outcome.

The powerful Child of Light battle team was actually defeated as such – comprehensively suppressed from technical and strengths viewpoint. Only the Aslan people could achieve this, and there was no other country within the Milky Way Alliance could do so.

The layman could not tell, but the politicians from various countries, especially the military, would already have formed conclusions.

Kashawen was exerting her authority in preparation for the upcoming election. Her goal was simple. She wanted the current president of the Milky Way Alliance to step down. The fellow was becoming more dishonest. His petty tricks had already affected Aslan's development. The first step was to control the numbers of the members. The second step was to launch an offensive attack on Ryan. Maybe the next president may not be from the Aslan camp, but they would require at least a few years to exert any influence, and these few years would be critical for Aslan.

Deterrence, and more deterrence. A hidden agenda was hidden behind every move. Everything had been smooth sailing up until now, and it was going to be smoother in the future. With the current setup, Kashawen could not think of anything that could stop her. Sometimes she felt lonely too. When Aslan took flight, there would indeed be nothing that could stop them.

In the battlefield, Locatelli looked at his opponent. This battle could be considered of equal status. Royalty vs royalty; a confrontation between two big empires. He needed to win.

He wanted to become the great Mayan Light.

His body was shining through. Following closely, the Sun God Battle Crystal also brightened up.

Streaming lights teleportation!

Boom…

The Knight of Holy Light was blasted out more than ten meters in the next moment. The energy shield of the Knight of Holy Light also opened and closed in the blink of an eye.

The Sun God Battle Crystal revealed its shape. Suddenly, the entire arena took a deep cold breath. The speed that took place a moment ago had exceeded the speed of all the mecha that had appeared in the SIG, including the speed Ability Xs. This was definitely the fastest speed.

Lin Feng's reaction was extremely fast too, but unfortunately, it was only fast enough for a fast energy shield.

Locatelli gave a little smile, feeling the power of the light. He knew that his opponent would not be able to keep up with his speed.

Growling…

The Sun God Battle Crystal started again. Boom…

The Knight of Holy Light was sent flying again after another knock…

Boom boom boom… boom… boom…

The Sun God Battle Crystal displayed horrifying speed, like a ray of light shooting aimlessly at the Knight of Holy Light. The laser sword was chopping ferociously at the Knight of Holy Light, who could only defend. He was unable to keep up with the rhythm, let alone retaliate.

While defending, Lin Feng remained calm. The energy shield closed and defended continuously. The mech did not seem to be having problems holding on, and used the opposing force for retreat. But he was not losing the mech's center of gravity.

The Mayan had already made over fifty attacks in a short time, all of which were on target. Nonetheless, Lin Feng was able to ward every attack.

Boom…

A loud quake. This time, there was counter-attacking power from Lin Feng. After a round of attacks, Locatelli was losing some momentum, and started opening up some distance.

Only by being the battle could be the problem be apparent. Although he obviously had the speed advantage, and he was much faster, why could he not breakthrough the Aslan captain's defense?

Lin Feng had barely used any effort and smiled. "Isn't it funny? The Mayans' speed is indeed an advantage. But during the moment of attack, the speed has to be decreased. Up to a certain level, all human warriors have a spiritual lock. As long as they can follow the rhythm of the instantaneous explosion, they can easily anticipate and defend against such attacks."

What Lin Feng meant was very simple. Such attacks were useless. Locatelli was faster, but, unfortunately, Lin Feng was stronger. Although he obviously could not match him in speed, such defenses could not be broken through. Besides, with these continuous attacks, if the trajectory was caught, it would be quite fatal for the Mayan.

However, for Lin Feng to tell his opponent this during a battle would appear that he was overconfident.

The Aslan people in the arena loved people like him. A wave immediately began in the crowd. The Aslan people still had a lot of faith in Lin Feng and the royal family. Besides, the earlier fighters of the Sword Shield Rose had shown suppression.

"It feels like this batch of Aslan people doesn't think much of the Mayans."

"They are underestimating their opponent."

"Too overconfident."

"The Mayans are not so weak. This might just come back to haunt them."

"Haha. This might just happen. Since the start of the competition, many self-righteous people have fallen."

Unfortunately, other than the Aslan people, there were also many other people not from Aslan percent, including the members from other teams. Since Lin Feng had explained the fact, everyone understood the concept too. However, this defense required spiritual locking, anticipation, and the ability to follow the rhythm of the instantaneous explosion. In addition, the mech must also be able to keep up as well. It was obvious that the instantaneous torque and transmission of the Holy Light series were faster than those of general mecha.

But Lin Feng was dragging this on for too long. He was going to consume the opponent's energy, and once he spotted the opponent's mistake, he would strike a fatal blow and the battle could end smoothly.

Locatelli had some degree of understanding of the capabilities of the humans. He was able to react immediately after what Lin Feng had said. He did not believe that it was Lin Feng's trick. In actual fact, there was little variations to the streaming lights. This was necessary in order to maintain the high speed of the Battle Crystal. This was also consuming a lot of his energy, so even he could not maintain this for too long.

This Lin Feng was an interesting person.

Lin Feng looked up and looked around the arena. "I want to dedicate an exciting battle to the world in this great Aslan arena. I hope that my opponent will do the same. Regardless of the outcome, no regrets. Let me show you the greatness of the Mayans!"

It was hard not to admit that even his opponent was beginning to like him. He was so gracious. Lin Feng was not underestimating his opponent. This was the heroic heart of a warrior. He longed to be strong, and at the same time, for a strong opponent. This was the spirit of a knight!

Chapter 1194: Energy Puppet

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Heroic?

Locatelli's Battle Crystal's Light was shining. The emotions of the Mayans would be reflected through the lights. The wild ambition of the younger generation – these words motivated him.

It was time for the Milky Way Alliance, for the world, to witness the greatness of Maya.

Growling…

With a light streaming teleportation, the Sun God Battle Crystal suddenly came to the energy wall. This was the pride of the arena's super energy defence. It could withstand Zeus' shield-level lasers bomb attacks, and hence was more than capable of blocking the attacks of the mecha.

Lin Feng watched on silently, and did not attempt to stop it. Once he attained a certain level, he would not simply be obsessed with victories or defeats. He needed his opponent to reveal the strength worthy of his strike.

An arm of the Sun God Battle Crystal was glued to the energy wall. In an instant, the entire Battle Crystal was shining through. The endless streams of pure energy flowed into the Sun God Battle Crystal.

What was it doing?

Absorbing energy?

It was indeed absorbing energy. The staff at the base were not panicking too much. How much energy could a mere mech absorb?

Growling… growling… growling…

With the absorption of energy, energy-like warriors began to appear around the Sun God Battle Crystal. These warriors were glowing in golden light, and were filled with the Mayan symbols, and holding long spears.

"God's Guard!"

One, two, three… six energy warriors appeared in the centre of the arena. Locatelli lifted his hand from the energy wall. This was the number that he could best control.

With a wave of his hand, the six energy warriors charged towards Lin Feng.

Energy avatars?

This was child's play.

Boom…

Lin Feng struck the spear. A loud bang. The energy warrior actually blocked Lin Feng's attack. The other five energy warriors attacked in an instant.

It was a combined attack!

"The usage of energy by the Mayans is not like the phantom illusions of Atlantis. Our creations are real. Using your human energy classification, one energy warrior is equivalent to a B-grade warrior's combat skills," said Locatelli.

The Mayans were indeed experts at energy manipulation, but not combat skills. This had surfaced throughout the history of the Mayan wars. As such, they had created the energy guards with various types and forms. Their strengths and weaknesses were related to the energy conversion level of the creator. The higher the energy conversion, the more powerful the warriors. Of course, not all Mayans were able to achieve this. Only a select few could, and Locatelli was one of them.

Lin Feng was completely surrounded by the six energy warriors. It was an amazing combination. Lin Feng was totally locked in by the long energy spear. Furthermore, the speed of movement was very rapid, and they were fierce and fearless.

Humans' momentum and spiritual power had no effect on these energy bodies.

Growling…

The Rune Sword slashed through one energy warrior… unscathed. Instead, the Knight of Holy Light was slashed ferociously continuously.

The situation was obvious. It was pointless to continue to tangle with these six energy puppets. Besides, their combat abilities were unbelievable.

Boom…

The shot of the long spear pierced into the ground. A loud explosion, and a large pit appeared in the ground. The Knight of Holy Light had already retreated quickly. The six energy warriors were like phantoms, hopping and chasing after him. Although their movements were rather weird and funny, their speed was absolutely fast.

Lin Feng knew that he needed to pursue the actual target now. But Locatelli had absolutely no intention of dodging, seemingly waiting for Lin Feng to attack.

Lin Feng's Rune Sword struck head-on. Locatelli smiled.

Buzzing…

A circular energy shield appeared. Boom…

Lin Feng's rapid strike landed squarely on the energy shield, causing no damage at all. Instead, the force of the reversed shock numbed his arm. The six energy warriors chased after him again, and the golden spear stabbed madly continuously.

Lin Feng's mech rotated violently on the ground. Blocking with his blade, he started striking forcefully. In an instant, another three continuous strikes landed on the energy shield.

Absolutely unscathed

Locatelli smiled and said, "The energy technologies that the humans are good at are only the primary stage of our Mayan capabilities. I am one with this energy wall. Can your attacks break through it?"

Like a giant leech, one of Locatelli's hands was continuously absorbing the energy from the energy wall.

The energy of this energy wall was powered by the base's endless source. There was no way a mech's power could break it. Locatelli seemed to be in an invincible position.

The other hand of the Sun God Battle Crystal was aimed at the Knight of Holy Light

Boom…

A light column resembling a laser cannon blasted towards the Knight of Holy Light. At the same time, the six energy warriors blocked all the retreat routes of the Knight of Holy Light. He would either be blasted by the lasers, or pierced by the long energy spears.

Growling…

The Rune Sword blocked the spears. The energy shield withstood the oncoming energy column.

Boom…

The energy column struck the Knight of Holy Light directly. The problem with the energy column was that it was not lasers. After striking the Knight of Holy Light, it did not stop. Instead, it continued to exert pressure.

Lin Feng knew very well that the energy shield would not hold on for very long. With strong control of the mech, the energy shield swung suddenly, and the mech moved sideways instantly. The energy light column refracted.

But in the next second, Locatelli shook his hands violently and the energy column reflected and rebounded towards the Knight of Holy Light again. Boom…

The slow-moving Knight of Holy Light was hit directly. Boom… growling…

A crack appeared on the ground. The Knight of Holy Light was flung into the energy wall by the energy column.

A smile appeared on Locatelli's face. Playing the energy game with the Mayans? The humans were so naive. Erecting an energy wall like this in the arena, what was this?

This was seeking death! He could absorb and release the energy endlessly!

The technologies between energy and spirit of the humans could be targeted easily.

The energy shield of the Knight of Holy Light was indeed astonishing. An ordinary energy shield would have shattered long ago. Furthermore, he was like a fish on the chopping board now that he was stuck on the energy wall. All six energy warriors were already charging towards him from all directions.

The arena was filled with silence. The Mayans were beginning to metamorphosize. Even ordinary students could see that this person was able to absorb and release energy directly. This was definitely abnormal. How could any living creatures be able to do this?

Boom…

Just as it seemed that the Knight of Holy Light would be turned into nothing, Lin Feng activated teleportation. Thereafter, the Knight of Holy Light shone brightly and broke loose from the dead corner, opening up a distance.

The six energy warriors did not pursue but instead returned to Locatelli's side, recharging again. The colours of the six energy warriors slowly began to brighten up again.

Lin Feng's Knight of Holy Light shredded the teleportation box. This could only be used once, but the effects were rather good. Both the teleportation box and the edition of the new energy shield had been named as the most outstanding revolutions of mecha in the past decade.

However, this could not save Aslan's decline. They had been too pretentious. Who this stage and this glory would belong to was still unknown.
