The students who were into combat tactics began to make their individual judgments and understandings based on the lineup. Ka Tao

was the most serious one working on it.

“Being up against Eagle Battle Team, it would be fatal if they were to disperse. Dendi’s ability allows him to split himself into two and deal with one opponent at a time. Other than w.a.n.g Zheng, the rest of them will not be able to deal with Dendi.”

“The problem is, currently no one knows the distance whereby Dendi can activate his ability. And for the Saruman Snake Battle Team, this is a simple issue that they can resolve easily. Well, they can stick closely to one another, and this seems like what the team is intending to do as well. From the perspective of a team battle, Saruman Snake Battle Team has strong combat abilities. The attack from the Desolate Steel Beast combined with Achilles’s ability, can possibly allow them to be in control instantly, and help w.a.n.g Zheng stall for time.”

“But this is the obvious strategy, I wonder if Dendi will fall for this.”

Ka Tao and Xue Yue shared, and now everyone knew that it was not a good thing to disperse when they were up against Eagle Battle Team. Dendi’s ability to launch a surprise attack was the best, but once it was made known to others, it would be difficult to utilise this Ability X as a surprise.

This was the level of difficulty for the best Greatest King Compet.i.tion. Initially, one may rely on his abilities without giving much thoughts. But as the compet.i.tion progressed towards the end, the easier it is for an individual to be targeted.

“The second round shall now begin!”

Ten mech warriors entered the arena amongst the cheers from the crowd. Well, as expected, Saruman Snake Battle Team stuck close to one another. The scout had suddenly moved forward, while the Icy Arrow used by Snow Li was at the back. The formation was tight, the distance between each mech was no more than twenty metres and they were advancing at high speeds. On the other hand, Eagle Battle Team was also advancing while staying in close proximity with one another. It looked like it would be a head-on confrontation.

But, they had used the original lineup, and this was a little too conservative.

On the previous round, Zhou Yu’s Golden Wheel Battle King was a stark contrast to that of Vincent’s. Although his teammates did not say much about it, deep inside Zhou Yu’s heart he took a deep breath. Both of them were using the same mech, but had totally different outcomes, how could he take this lying down? Compared to the match, this had made Zhou Yu feel even more depressed.

This round, he had wanted to have a one-on-one with Vincent once and for all. But little did he expect his opponent to be w.a.n.g Zheng instead, and he was using the Golden Wheel Battle King as well.

Well, times had really changed. In the past, only certain individuals were capable and dared to use the Golden Wheel Battle King, but now it seemed like anyone could do it as well.

“Zhou Yu, maintain your formation, you’re leaning a little too forward!” Dendi said in a strict tone.

Zhou Yu was shocked, and quickly controlled the speed and the angle of the mech as he was drifting away from the formation slightly.

They were clear about their opponents’ motive. Once bitten twice shy, they would be really foolish if they had fell for it again.

For the previous battle, Saruman Snake Battle Team had used the Desolate Steel Beast and Heavenly Dragon Spear to defeat the entire team. And yet they’re intending to pull off the same trick this time round, they must be out of their minds.

But then again, this was a rather good tactic. It was difficult to defend against the intensive attacks of the Desolate Steel Beast, as well as Achilles’s skilled moves. Besides, they had great attackers and snipers, there was definitely the potential for them to form a team on their own.

“Looks like Saruman Snake Battle Team is trying to recreate one of the scenes from the qualifying match. But is Eagle Battle Team going to fall for it?”

It was a known strategy, and the other party was playing along with it. It just did not seem quite right that everything was going so smoothly. It felt like both teams were predators, but at the same time they were like preys waiting to be hunted down.

Although the motive was obvious, both teams had shown prudence in their formation and cautiousness during the advancement of the mecha. After all, no one had wished to fall into the hands of their opponent due to their negligence, resulting in a tactical failure.

Towards the half-way point of the match, the mech warriors from both teams had started flaring at each other. Eagle Battle Team had gathered together, while the Saruman Snake Battle Team’s Desolate Steel Beast and Heavenly Dragon Spear were looking on, awaiting the attacks. After a round of laser fire, the Desolate Steel Beast and Heavenly Dragon Spear had got into action, and w.a.n.g Zheng’s Golden Wheel Battle King was following right behind them.

It was the same tactic.

But Eagle Battle Team did not seem to believe it, and charged towards the both of them.

Rumble rumble rumble….

The Desolate Steel Beast activated its energy s.h.i.+eld and launched a deadly attack – bang!

Monster attack!

It directly exploded in the direction of Dendi’s Dragon G.o.d. It was quick yet ruthless, and Achilles’s Heavenly Dragon Spear was following right behind, observing the battle with his keen vision.

Thinking of avoiding or hiding away?

That would be underestimating their speed!

But right at this moment, the members of Eagle Battle Team showed a confident smile on their faces, buzz~~~~~~~

Dendi’s Dragon G.o.d fighter had created a hurricane, this was Dendi’s Ability X – Hurricane Force!

It was not meant for attacking, but for his teammates to increase their speed instantly. This was equivalent to equipping his other four teammates with the wind ability.

It was an attack that was bound to succeed, and it instantly disrupted the pace.

Once Tak.u.mi had hit the ground, he knew something was amiss. Dendi’s control of the ability was so great that despite that the ground around Tak.u.mi was shaking due to the hurricane, even a hair on Dendi’s body was unmoved!

This was Dendi’s strength. For an individual who had almost reached the Earth Grade, the only way he could differentiate himself from the other lower level individuals was the control over their respective Ability X.

With the sudden acceleration, it was as though their mecha had lost their body ma.s.s. The members of Eagle Battle Team could easily swerve and avoid incoming attacks, and attack Tak.u.mi continuously.

Ca.s.sia, who was the sniper of the team, got into action right away. Using the heavy laser cannon, with a deadly glare effect, Ca.s.sia locked onto her target – Desolate Steel Beast.

Even if it was a tanky heavy mech, the energy s.h.i.+eld was already depleting and reaching its end. And at this point, it was impossible for Achilles to attack, but his gravitational abilities were on full force. The Desolate Steel Beast was pulled away by a few body lengths, and avoided the deadly blow. Tak.u.mi reacted quickly as well, as he flipped, bounced back, and hid behind a structure. Panting and taking in deep breaths while hiding in the corner, this was a run for his life!

It was a pity for the members of Eagle Battle Team, they were this close to winning the battle!

And suddenly an explosion was heard… Eagle Battle Team was stunned, Ca.s.sia’s mech had exploded.

This was not a conspiracy! It was an obvious strategy!

Just when everyone had their eyes on Achilles and Tak.u.mi, the scout had hid himself away. Well, his performance was usually bad, and he was the one who had always dragged the team down, who would care about him?

During the pre-battle a.n.a.lysis, Eagle Battle Team did not care much about Zhang Shan. Although his movements were great, but his close-range combat abilities were average, and he would be courting death even if he had come forth.

But just when Ca.s.sia was gloating over her one-kill attack, Zhang Shan had already closed in from the side, and just like the Saruman Snake’s attacks, it was extremely fast as though electricity was flowing through!

The Wind G.o.d was a suitable scout for battles. There were no blind spots within the range of the magnetic source, and coupled with his triple warp, it was enough to power Zhang Shan with the speed to take control of the battlefield. Of course, that was on the a.s.sumption that he did not make a mistake.

After his powerful blow, Zhang Shan immediately fled from the battlefield. The speed was extremely fast, and Dendi could not even react to it.

From the very beginning, the Desolate Steel Beast was just a bait for the opponent to focus their attention on. Saruman Snake Battle Team was not foolish, they clearly knew that it would not be a wise plan to pull off the same trick. The charge of the Desolate Steel Beast was akin to that of the Sky Rocket Cannon of the Overlord fighter, it was ruthless and had high damage potential. But similarly, it could be easily avoided.

Zhang Shan’s unexpected attack had scored a point for Saruman Snake Battle Team.

Snow Li who was waiting for an opportunity, finally got into action, heavy laser cannon fire! Frost Seal Arrow!

The target of this attack was Roybad’s Dragon Scale!

When faced with such attacks, there was no room for Roybad to bring his powers into play and he could not avoid the shot in time either. If the attacks were headed towards other mech, there was a high possibility that they could avoid it easily. But the same could not be said for the heavy mecha. It was the only one that could not shun away, and at the same time Roybad’s Ability X was of no help.

Achilles closed in almost concurrently, and no one would have expected Saruman Snake Battle Team to target the most durable heavy type mech.

Dendi’s reflexes were equally quick, and he immediately used his Ability X – s.p.a.ce Transfer!

Snow Li’s attacks had hit the Dragon Scale fighter directly, and it was shrouded with frost. Roybad felt that his lower body was freezing so badly, and the Heavenly Dragon Spear was charging towards him, but he could not even move his fingers.

Right at this moment, a wind s.h.i.+eld was placed over the Dragon Scale. The mainstay, Dendi, had reached!

Eagle Battle Team’s scout was not idling around either, his target was w.a.n.g Zheng’s Golden Wheel Battle King!

This was the time to make a name for himself!

The beam saber had been imbued with metal energy. It sliced towards the Golden Wheel Battle King, just like an eagle trying to catch its prey.

But the attention of this prey was still focused on Dendi.

As long as he managed to get rid of w.a.n.g Zheng, he would then become the winner of the battle of the scouts.

w.a.n.g Zheng smiled, and instantly threw out two golden wheels, aiming right at the Dragon Fang.

Bebeto wanted to forcefully maneuver and hide away, but when faced with the strange trajectory of the golden wheels, he had no idea where could he run to…

Rumble…

The energy s.h.i.+eld activated!

The golden wheels clashed into each other and bounced off, but w.a.n.g Zheng seemed like he already knew the positions where the wheels were flying, and caught the wheels in a flash, zzing, zzing…

Rumble…

The Dragon Fang had turned into sparks in the air even before it could reach the ground.

Zhou Yu charged towards w.a.n.g Zheng. This was a battle of the Golden Wheel Battle King, and he was the true Golden Wheel Battle G.o.d of Ma.n.a.lasuo!

Zzing, zzing…

The two golden wheels were thrown towards w.a.n.g Zheng, and at this point he could not turn back. But w.a.n.g Zheng’s mech swerved to the right, and at the same time the Golden Wheel Battle G.o.d… executed an impressive and shocking move.

The mech brushed past the two golden wheels that were coming from the top and left side respectively. Well, one must acknowledge that Zhou Yu’s attacks were precise and ruthless, and one could even see the friction between the wheels and the mech as they came into close contact, barely glazing past.

w.a.n.g Zheng had abruptly pulled up the Golden Wheel Battle King, but did not throw out his wheels. Instead, he was just charging towards Zhou Yu at full speed.

But two golden wheels were coming right after him from the back!

Vincent was seated at the bottom. All along, w.a.n.g Zheng’s Golden Wheel Battle G.o.d was what he had aimed to overtake. After such a long period of training, especially with the confidence of the Ma.n.a.lasuo, he felt that he might possibly have surpa.s.sed him.

When the two golden wheels brushed across w.a.n.g Zheng who was facing the other direction, Vincent knew that he was lacking a little bit of vigour. If it was him, even if he was extremely confident, there was no way he could remain unbothered about the two wheels coming from the back.

Zhou Yu was stunned, f**k, how brazen was he to act this way?

w.a.n.g Zheng’s Golden Wheel Battle King charged over with big steps, but Zhou Yu had already retrieved his golden wheels. Zhou Yu possessed a strong ability X and hence he was not afraid of engaging in an individual battle. Did w.a.n.g Zheng wish for a one-on-one battle with him?

That was exactly what he was hoping for!

The people of Ma.n.a.lasuo liked the feeling of engaging in a battle with knights. The style of the Ma.n.a.lasuo people was in between that of the Arbiter Republic and Aslan Empire. Well, it was further fuelled by the potential fame and glory that would fall on Zhou Yu if he had managed to defeat w.a.n.g Zheng.

At this point, all the people of Ma.n.a.lasuo looked on with glittering eyes. This model of mecha had raised the hopes of the people, for a mech that emerges victorious after being ridiculed at previously was truly invincible!

Zzing, zzing…

Both of Zhou Yu’s wheels were thrown out with full force. With the addition of the ability X, the rotation speed of the wheels was further intensified, and the rotational force had represented its speed and the damage potential.

Well, he wanted to see for himself what capabilities did w.a.n.g Zheng have. For instance, the ability X of ice and fire could not possibly defend again the power of acceleration coming from Zhou Yu directly…

… But yet… this was…

Not only was Zhou Yu left with a loss of words before flying into a rage, even the crowd was stunned and could not believe what they had just saw.
