Fighting with a Huang Cla.s.s 7 opponent, and his friends watching from the side. If this delay continued, he would be the joke.

Lens switched it up, seeking to close on Zhang Shan, but Zhang Shan moved carefully. In the few encounters before, he had already discovered his opponent’s basic standard. He was definitely d.a.m.n good. The good ol’ get down that he had imagined was completely rubbish, and his Mad Gra.s.s Technique was completely unusable.

It looked like he had to get serious.

In that instant, the opponent disappeared.

The crowd was stunned. Could it be that Lens was also a same type ability X user?

And further than Zhang Shan!

Almost instantly the Tiger-Wolf Guardian was in front of Zhang Shan. It was not warp! It was speed burst, where one’s speed was so extreme that it seemed like one had teleported, but it was not just this.

A person who had just exerted fully for movement normally had to pause for a short while, and at this moment Zhang Shan did not hold back, cutting across with his t.i.tanium blade. This judgment was entirely accurate.

But he forgot that the opponent was Xuan Grade.

In the instant that his blade flashed out, his whole body felt like it fell into a swamp. Imprisonment!

He had been penetrated by his opponent’s ability X. A combination attack. At this time, Lens did not hold back, but began laying in. This was his consecutive ability that could kill in an instant!

All Zhang Shan could do was to activate his energy s.h.i.+elds. He had already done this at the fastest possible time, and it received the frenzied barrage from the Tiger-Wolf Guardian.

The energy s.h.i.+eld was depleting, and the mecha was already emitting warning sounds. Suddenly, the imprisonment power disappeared. In the instant that the energy s.h.i.+eld shattered, Zhang Shan’s t.i.tanium blade suddenly lunged. BOOM…

His body flew, the magnetic energy flying out. At this moment, the Tiger-Wolf Guardian pounced forward.

It was over…

Zhang Shan had made an error in his haste, the magnetic energy flying in the wrong direction. He had not managed to draw the distance, but instead propelled himself towards his opponent. Did he think the magnetic energy source was a shuriken?

Whoosh…

Zhang Shan’s Wind G.o.d suddenly disappeared. 3rd warp!

This was also the last time that Zhang Shan could use his ability, and it brought him to behind the Tiger-Wolf Guardian.

But in the instant he appeared, the Tiger-Wolf Guardian moved in response. Len’s sudden advance could mitigate the sneak attack, and mitigate its fatality.

But…

The Wind G.o.d disappeared!

The warp was a pretense. Zhang Shan’s magnetic energy was not a mistake, but on purpose.

In the instant that the opponent had dodged, Wind G.o.d forced itself to displace to the magnetic energy source, and exchange positions again. In the window, the t.i.tanium blade flashed out!

Unless the opponent also could warp, otherwise his advance speed, no matter how fast, would not help him to evade this unavoidable attack!

The t.i.tanium blade sank in, and the Tiger-Wolf Guardian was pierced through with no time to activate its energy s.h.i.+elds.

Falling on the ground, Zhang Shan sprang back up. Finally he could demonstrate his Mad Gra.s.s Technique. He turned to the Tiger-Wolf Guardian and lashed out with a wild kick, destroying his opponent’s mecha.

Zhang Shan win!

The crowd had gone crazy. This guy had won based on brains. He had actually dreamed up this plan to utilize his warp. This was indeed unprecedented.

After his victory, Zhang Shan exhaled deeply. He finally understood what it meant to go up against a Xuan Grade. From start to end, the initiative had been with his opponent. This was psychological pressure, which would subtly create a stifling atmosphere for the weaker party, and cause them to be unable to perform. This was also the reason that Zhang Shan had some delays. But the opponent’s arrogance had also been his downfall. He totally snubbed Zhang Shan.

Snow Li and the rest were clapping hard. Zhang Shan was like that. Every time you thought he looked like food, but he always found his way to victory through some way that n.o.body would think of. It had been this way in IG last time, and now it was like this as well. His opponent looked fit to burst from anger.

w.a.n.g Zheng was laughing. He had carefully thought over the events that had just happened. There had been meticulous preparation and calculation which was fairly accurate. He had used the mech’s mobility well, and set up two traps. His control had been good.

Such a way of thinking was as unbelievable as a unicorn taking to the skies.

Only, this guy needed to train harder now. Outthinking was a tiring business, and easily countered.

Zhang Shan had pulled off an upset that was neither deemed huge or small. Zhang Shan himself was definitely pretty happy.

No matter what, he was not a 1st round knockout.

His opponent, on the other hand, was depressed. To be beaten by a Huang Grader meant a long period of shame to endure.

This battle demonstrated that one could not blindly believe in ability. In battle, negligence and many other reasons could lead to failure. If superficial strength determined everything, then the world would not be what it was now.

After Zhang Shan’s battle was Oli’s turn. Oli did not win in as dangerous a fas.h.i.+on as Zhang Shan. Against w.a.n.g Zheng, she had attacked and defended, but against other opponents, she could afford to be laxer.

A Huang Grade Cla.s.s 1 could not hope to stand against Oli. Those with strong physical const.i.tutions performed well in mecha fights, especially when the opponent’s ability X was insufficient to shut them down. Whereas in reality, any martial arts pract.i.tioner’s Qi levels would not be too low either.

The better the talent, the stronger the person. Although the Solar System might be deficient in terms of one’s Qi talent, but in terms of their physical prowess, it would only increase. And for those strong in both, like Arbiter, it was even more terrifying.

Oli directly reduced her opponent to have no ability to counter-attack, where the ability X could not even be activated, until Oli won.

Even for Elite Academy X, ability X was not a magic solution. No ability X could do everything.

Oli won with ease, a completely different position from Zhang Shan. It almost seemed like just a warm up. And the audience could only take it in. The Heavenly Overlord Style was indeed fearsome.

Because the match had been too fast, there was still half an hour to w.a.n.g Zheng’s match, and the audience was in no hurry, waiting.

w.a.n.g Zheng’s fight had not attracted too much notice, because Vermillion Bird King was fighting at the same time. The Xuan Grade top 4 took all the popularity the moment they appeared, and everyone wanted to watch the pros fight.

w.a.n.g Zheng did not mind in the slightest that no one was watching. He was more concerned about his opponent’s ability. As a few students began to leave, w.a.n.g Zheng was composed. Of course, Snow Li and the girls still stayed at the battle line.

“Actually, I really want to go and see Hocatolin’s match, but because of our wonderful cooperation and relations.h.i.+p, I’ll watch you lose first before I go over. Do your best!” Ai Xiaolu said cheerfully.

But w.a.n.g Zheng felt that something was wrong… was he supposed to be beaten as fast as possible?

The same situation was also happening in every other Group. The Vermillion Bird King was taking to the field, and all eyes, regardless whether Xuan Grade or Huang Grade, were watching intently. Who didn’t want to find out what the best of the Elite Academy was like?

In an instant, all the other matches were left desolate, while Hocatolin’s match was as lively as a finals match.
