Chapter 43 Suppression

Snow Lee let out a little smile. After reaching this level, there was no need to focus on anything. She chose the mech which she was best at – Ice Emperor 9th Gen.

This was the totem mech of the Hail Cloud Alliance, and it was also currently the best equipped mech in their alliance. It possessed powerful maneuverability, and was also one of the best in the Milky Way Alliance. Making use of the special cold ore that only existed in the Hail Cloud world, it possessed the best ability to conduct ice powers.

What would w.a.n.g Zheng’s choice be?

Hercules? Golden Wheel? The Wind G.o.d?

Everything had its advantages and disadvantages. However, in the face of an especially powerful ice attribute Ability X, even a scout might be defeated by a slow-moving mech. Once it was confined, the scout would become a live target. Comparatively speaking, using the tyrannical attacks of the Golden Wheel would probably give him a higher chance of winning

Everyone still had a deep impression of his Golden Wheel, and the Golden Wheel would also be the least affected by limited mobility

But w.a.n.g Zheng’s choice once again stunned everyone.

The Overlord mech of the Arbiter Republic was chosen.

This was the mech that Olivios had used during his heavenly battle. That one mech had destroyed everything. Was w.a.n.g Zheng doing this as a direct challenge to see who was the real overlord?

Even if one had exceptional ability, how much better would you be able to use it compared to Olivios?

The most crucial point was that the Overlord was best at close distance combat. If one used the Overlord against the Ice Emperor 9th Gen, that was looking for trouble. The C-rank ice Ability X of Snow Lee was excellent at close range battles as it was powerful enough to freeze the actions of her opponent, allowing her to quickly decimate her opponent.

In an instant, the whole audience started discussing spiritedly. Why was he not using the Golden Wheel?

Even the people of Ma.n.a.lasuo were a little shocked. Even though they had lost, they had still hoped that the Golden Wheel would s.h.i.+ne. Vincent’s face was filled with pity. He still wanted to see more and increase his knowledge, as sometimes he could definitely learn more as a bystander.

Was this considered as a provocation to Olivios?

The expressions of the people of Arbiter were not good at all. If he dared to provoke the G.o.d of War, he must have been tired of living.

In this world, n.o.body could operate the Overlord better than Olivios. But of course, the Overlord was only one of the mecha which Olivios was used to using.

And in this aspect, w.a.n.g Zheng seemed to be the same; he was also good at many types of mecha.

Snow Lee looked at w.a.n.g Zheng and showed a subtle smile. Snow Lee was very familiar and knowledgeable about the Overlord mech. She once had a draw against Olivios, and at the time Olivios had also used the Overlord mech.

The functionalities of the Overlord were not bad, but if given a score, it would only be at most eight points. But as for the Ice Emperor, it was a 10 points mech.

While for w.a.n.g Zheng, he was indifferent. Amongst all the mecha which he was familiar with, the Overlord was one of them. Also, after seeing how Olivios had used it, he felt that it was very exciting. And he seemed to have understood something from the battle just now. His intuition told him that using the Overlord to verify it would be even better…

The two mecha entered the battlefield. Everyone was curious and were also feeling strange about w.a.n.g Zheng’s decision. Was it really possible for someone to be an expert at so many types of mecha, especially when his opponent was Snow Lee?

The Ice Emperor was perfectly sleek; it was a mix between a warrior and a scout. Once it appeared, it would emit cold gusts of air. This mech was exceptionally invincible in the environment of the Hail Cloud Alliance.

Woos.h.!.+

The beam saber was unsheathed by the Ice Emperor. While on the other hand, the pike of the Overlord was also taken out.

Both mecha were not moving, only the rumbling of their engines was heard.

At the sound of the gunshot, both mecha started at the same time, and were charging towards each other at high speed.

It was evident that the speed of the Ice Emperor was faster. The distance between the two sides was shortened to 30 meters in a flash. Looking at such att.i.tudes, a fiery fight would likely erupt right away.

The Ice Emperor, which could move at a higher speed, started to attack, but this distance…

Could it be that Snow Lee was too anxious? Even though she was still 10 meters away, she slashed down with her beam saber. Was she going to slash the air?

A strong, ice cold gust of air immediate shot out.

This was a person with a C-rank Ability X. Once Snow Lee came up to fight, she would be totally serious.

Even if w.a.n.g Zheng’s reaction was fast, the reaction of the Overlord could not keep up. The cold air immediately hit the Overlord squarely.

Attempting to use his gigantic s.h.i.+eld to block… a loud boom resounded.

The intense cold air immediately caused a layer of frost to form on the surface of the s.h.i.+eld. And just as w.a.n.g Zheng was about to take another action, a laser rifle was already aiming at him.

Boom, boom, boom…

The Ice Emperor aimed directly at the Overlord who was confined and launched laser attacks at him.

This set of consecutive attacks caused the opponent to be unable to retaliate at all. However, the Overlord mech of w.a.n.g Zheng not only did not retreat, but the gigantic s.h.i.+eld was pointed towards the direction of the laser attacks as it continued moving forward.

Its fierceness and toughness were matchless.

Boom…

The Overlord suddenly moved forward and its pike attacked outwards. But Snow Lee already responded in an unhurried manner, and her beam saber clashed.

It was only their first exchange, but w.a.n.g Zheng already felt that something was not right. The cold air was too intense and the mech could not defend against it. The Ability X had already permeated through.

The entire Ice Emperor was emitting intense, cold air. In the IG, once you reached C-rank, you would be considered strong. As a result, it was a miracle for Lie Xin to win, having overturned the situation just now. And for Snow Lee, her level was definitely higher than that of Xu Dongsheng.

Also, after reaching C-rank, how long the ability could last would also become different. For Snow Lee, she was the snow fairy, and out of all her present IG battle members, she was also the member who was most skillful at using her Ability X.

The battle became Snow Lee’s personal show. Every sword attack struck at the right place, and the Overlord could not react. Actually, in w.a.n.g Zheng’s hands, the Overlord would normally have been able to inhibit these little moves, but her Ability X consistently suppressed him.

This was the scariest part about Snow Lee. Regardless of how outstanding your skills were, or how great your consciousness was, they would not be able to be exhibited at full potential.

Snow Lee was not anxious to push for a victory, as w.a.n.g Zheng had not used his Ability X. If she was not careful, she might fail at the last minute.

Fortunately, the Overlord was good at defense and was still able to defend itself against the Ice Emperor’s attacks.

The Primordial Regression Technique was revolving within w.a.n.g Zheng’s body, but even Student w.a.n.g was a little depressed. Why wasn’t it working?

He was able to understand the operation of the flame arts, and it was on a much lower grade than the Primordial Regression Technique. With the strength of the Primordial Regression Technique, he should be able to produce the same effect, and in that case, it would be able to restrain the cold air of Snow Lee.

But many times, it was difficult to turn thoughts into reality.

If other people knew what w.a.n.g Zheng was thinking, they would definitely think that he was insane. How could one be able to master an Ability X just because he wanted to? What’s more, this was done at the last minute.

The cold air continued to sting w.a.n.g Zheng’s body. However, w.a.n.g Zheng did not avoid it, as sometimes his body was unresponsive. If he did not give it some pressure, it would not give in or strengthen his body potential.

This kind of abnormal stimulation also emerged from the special trainings by Bonehead. The daredevil att.i.tude of w.a.n.g Zheng could not be compared with ordinary people.

“w.a.n.g Zheng, why aren’t you using your ice ability? Aren’t you a person with an ice Ability X? Why aren’t you using it? Or are you looking down on me!?” Snow Lee shouted. Her beam saber’s strikes had become increasingly more violent.

It was the first time where many people had heard this, including the people of the Solar System team. There were a lot of them who did not know that w.a.n.g Zheng possessed an ice Ability X.

Meng Tian and the rest looked at each other in dismay. Snow Lee was also extremely mysterious. Just how did she know about this?

On the other hand, Meng Tian had also benefited after seeing the attacks of Snow Lee. Her ability to manipulate ice was really a far cry from Snow Lee’s. This battle had indeed opened a door for Meng Tian as it showed her that her Ability X could be used like this too. It was as though a whole new realm had been opened in front of her.

The greatest unique characteristic of ice was not its ability to kill or injure, but its restraint on movement. Using this as a battle support would definitely be able to reap wonderful effects, and even an expert like w.a.n.g Zheng was not able to display his skills.

Everyone was somewhat anxious. w.a.n.g Zheng was already retreating in defeat, step by step, from the attacks. Lie Xin was even more anxious as only fire attribute Ability Xs would be able to deal with such an ice ability. However, even if w.a.n.g Zheng did possess a similar type of Ability X, it would likely not be stronger than Snow Lee’s, who was born in the year of the Dancing Ice Dragon. She was indeed the ice fairy, and there was nothing which she did not understand when it came to ice abilities.

Seeing w.a.n.g Zheng silently defending, Snow Lee was also speechless. If this went on, he would freeze to death.

Her ice ability had the effect of moistening objects silently. If it continuously permeated through his body, by the time one realized it, his body would be done for.

Snow Lee was pretty disappointed. After watching the S-rank mission video her general had given her, she had developed an indescribably good impression of this average guy. It was the one man who had the dominance to hold the pa.s.s against ten thousand enemies, and he had deeply excited Snow Lee. What was especially exciting was that the other party also had an ice Ability X. Was it fate?

Hence, from the start, Snow Lee had a good impression of w.a.n.g Zheng. She had also hoped that this battle would become a story that captured everyone’s imaginations and would be spread far and wide.

However, why was it that reality was always different from one’s imagination? Was this really the same person who was in the video?

The Overlord was being beaten like a tortoise, it was staggering and retreating step by step. It was forcefully trying to endure the attacks. Yet how much longer would it be able to do so?

He could have obviously used the stronger Golden Wheel. Was he brainless?

There should be a limit to one’s pretentiousness.

In Lear’s ice cold gaze lay an additional tinge of excitement. He had been waiting for this opportunity for too long. The result of his battle was not important, because so long as w.a.n.g Zheng fell, he would then be able to stand up. Otherwise, no matter how much he did, it would be just working hard for others.

The restraining factor was even more serious for same-type abilities. As long as one side was slightly stronger, the opposite party would stand no chance at all.

They would be competing based on their understanding, and the fact that w.a.n.g Zheng did not dare to use his ability in front of Snow Lee demonstrated his inferiority. This was the disparity between the two.

He had been thoroughly restrained.

“What is happening with w.a.n.g Zheng? Is this the same person? He was so domineering before, how did he become an ostrich who is unable to confront his opponent?”

“Could it be that his injuries have not yet fully recovered? Then why did he force himself to come up for the battle? Aren’t there two other experts in the Solar System?

“I heard that the internal disputes of the Solar System are terrible. Tsk, it’s so rare that they had become so strong, but then they are not united internally. What a pity.”

“This is also because w.a.n.g Zheng is inadequate at handling his team. What’s more, if it was because of personal feelings that actually resulted in him making such a judgment, it would show that he is not fit to be a team leader.”

The tongues of everyone were wagging. Everything was done to win, as winning was everything in the IG. The original reason as to why the IG existed had already disappeared in the sands of time.

To swap pointers? To improve?

What was this, a fantasy story?

But who knew that for the Solar System Federation team, the most important thing was not the results of this IG. The most important things were the experiences and improvements that they gained from this whole journey.

Every team member had had the chance to go up for battle. Everyone’s ability and willpower had been hammered into shape. They were no longer rookies who just started, they had experienced struggles and trials, for Lie Xin, Zhang Shan, and Lie Guang…

What most people saw was the outside appearance, and they always neglected the actual essence of the individual.

The Overlord, which was retreating in defeat, was still trying to struggle. However, it could be seen that Snow Lee had only used 60% of her strength, and this battle was about to end like this.

At this moment, Olivios, who had been keeping silent, suddenly stood up. He was not looking at the screen, but he walked towards the window and gazed closely.

To be more precise, Olivios seemed as though he had some suspicions as to what was going on.
