Tempest of the Stellar War

Chapter 1131: Ridiculing Past Glories

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The SIG top 32 battle had begun with the Saruman Snake battle team against the Storm battle team.

The Saruman Snake battle team, who had been glorious at Elite Academy X and were the strongest kings in this competition, had ushered in their first battle, and the opponent was the Storm battle team, whose capabilities did not lose to theirs.

The venue that was used was the Royal College. This was actually also a privilege for the students in the Royal College. After all, they were the only ones in the entire Milky Way Alliance that could most conveniently witness a battle of such level and feel its atmosphere, especially since it was undoubtedly important for everyone to experience battles between experts.

For the first day of the competition, there would be four rounds, and each round would have eight battles. There would be one round in the morning, two in the afternoon, and one at night.

The Saruman Snake was set to battle in the first round, and as the team highly regarded by people, the battle was also highly popular at Aslan’s Royal College. Ever since the fact that Wang Zheng had once been an exchange student at the Royal College was made known, he garnered quite some support.

Si Jiali and a bunch of friends were among those. The Wang Zheng in the past was already very “special”, but they never thought he would return in such a fashion and torment quite a number of people to the point of irritation.

The members of the two Solar System teams had not left. This was considered a rare privilege as members of teams who had failed would usually have already left. The reason why the Solar System was quite generous this time was also because there were still two teams which were primarily led by people from the Solar System that had yet to be eliminated, so they stayed.

Without a doubt, the first battle was a battle to control the flow. Both sides entered the arena, the Saruman Snake sent out Achilles, a warrior from the Moon.

The warrior from the Storm battle team... was the captain. Captain Satie entered the battle straight away!

Judging by the battle tactics, the Storm battle team held a certain advantage. They had obviously succeeded in avoiding Wang Zheng. This was one of Saruman Snake’s disadvantages. As long as the opponent avoided Wang Zheng, they would be able to seize the initiative rights, and as the most reliable core of Saruman Snake, Wang Zheng would basically not be the first to enter the arena.

Now it was up to whether Achilles could hold up against the strong attacks of the Storm battle team’s captain.

The Storm battle team’s morale roused. Clearly, their judgement was accurate. They were also afraid of the unlikely possibility that Wang Zheng would enter the battle first, then they would suffer a double loss. But in practicality, the Saruman Snake battle team was not god, so they had still chosen to play safe in the battle of the top 32.

Upon seeing Satie, the Saruman Snake battle team reacted calmly. It was not certain whether they were that confident or if they felt that they were relying on Wang Zheng to fight anyways so they did not care.

Achilles was very calm. The mech used was still the Heavenly Dragon Knight. He quietly stood tall in the battle arena, carrying the silver-coloured dragonlance. The lance was the Heavenly King family’s signature.

On the opposite side was Satie’s Mad Mob mech.

Achilles naturally knew what the current situation was. The Storm battle team had premeditated that he would be the first to fight and for Satie to personally enter the battle. It was to ensure a stable win against him in the first battle.

In a short space of time, the Sun God Achilles had actually become “useless” and was starting to get caught.

A slight hint of a smile, carrying a tad of ridicule, could be seen on the sides of Achilles’ lips.

The sides of Satie’s lips also turned into a smile. The battle weapon chosen by the opponent was as mentioned in the data. It was said that this person loved this type of mech. In front of his Mad Mob battle weapon, any warrior-type mech would be looking for death.

The Mad Mob mech was a Manalasuo warrior-type mech model that veered towards offense. The weapons were two short-handled axes, which were very suitable for killing a group of enemies. It would require someone with quite good close-range offensive skills and confidence to handle it.

The glass heart of the Moon people and their nitpicking, princely mentality was key to the upcoming team battle. Although Wang Zheng was definitely scary, Achilles was the core of command. His Lighthouse Warrior, paired with Ability X, could certainly build up an impressive effect. As such, on top of having to win this battle, they also had to destroy their opponent psychologically in order to plant the seeds of victory.

The reason for choosing the Mad Mob mech was because it was better suited for such flow.

Facing the Heavenly Dragon Knight’s dashing style, the Mad Mob very casually shouldered the titanium axes, axes swinging left and right pointedly at the Heavenly Dragon Knight, looking very pleased.

Such slight was also a kind of display of strength, but Achilles, of course, would not be angered so easily.

The Heavenly Dragon Knight positioned its lance, prepared for a sudden advance.

The Mad Mob’s aura also elevated, seemingly casual. Satie readied himself as well.

Boom...

The engines of both mecha roared at the same time, directly rushing to the centre. A lance lunged out directly towards the Mad Mob in the midst. Satie evidently would not dodge. His axe swayed, abruptly blocking the lance. At the same time, as the mech turned back, the other axe swiftly cut in, sweeping towards the Heavenly Dragon Knight’s head.

The Heavenly Dragon Knight moved backwards in a flash, passing one axe. The Mad Mob kicked out suddenly. Boom...

The Heavenly Dragon Knight mech timely retrieved his lance to block it, but he was still kicked fifty-six metres back before coming to a stop.

The was no suspense over the victory. The hold that an Earth-ranked warrior had over a normal warrior was definite – it was just waiting to see how Satie was planning to end it.

After just one round of slight contact, Satie could gauge that this Achilles had skills. He was very stable.

People of Manalasuo did not really like to defend, especially using the Mad Mob, so there was even less defense. The axes collided and crossed, producing clamouring sounds like war drums.

Ping...

The mech was controlled strongly and abruptly burst forward to attack. Achilles was the least afraid, pulling at his lance, rapidly lunging it in a straight line.

Boom...

The axe directly hit the lance. Satie belted out a startling roar: Kill!

He wildly chopped at the Heavenly Dragon Knight mech all of a sudden like he had turned mad. The fierce chopping speed made it seem as if he suddenly had many additional limbs. This was how Satie acquired the nickname of Desperate Mad Mob.

Three-Headed Multi-Limb Mad Killing Assault!

The axes swung repeatedly at ferocious speeds. He always used such strong, domineering attacks of the axe to oppress any type of weapon; titanium blades and titanium swords had all been beaten into dogs. There were still people using such an outdated weapon like the lance; the Solar System sure liked acting dumb.

What was the use of a rod? The best weapon was the axe!

In a flash, the Heavenly Dragon Knight became like a canoe in the middle of a storm, with only the option of warding off.

Wang Zheng and the others who were below slightly blanked out as they saw through Satie’s motive. He was not trying to attack the person, but... the Heavenly Dragon Knight’s alloy lance.

This... meant that, Satie wanted to “torture” Achilles?

Generally speaking, at such occasions, unless there was a huge personal or national grudge, no one would pull such acts. On one hand, it was very taxing on the physical body, and on the other, it was very easy to make enemies.

This Satie could not possibility be superficial to the point of using Achilles as a stepping stone to become famous, which left only one possibility. He wanted to “crush” Achilles in order to prepare for the following team battle.

“Does this fellow’s brain have problems? If the first-rate alloy lance could be broken so easily, he might as well hold a bamboo.” Zhang Shan pouted. He liked acting dumb, but he did not like others doing so.

“This fellow’s Ability X is very special, it could be useful.”

Boom...

The Heavenly Dragon Knight’s alloy lance broke following the echo of Satie’s blow-up. The Mad Mob followed suit, moving in to give a kick in the knee, and at the same time, the axes collided.

Mad War——Double Ghost Shooting!

Achilles’ Ability X burst out in a flash. The Heavenly Dragon Knight rapidly retreated and leapt away.

Repulsive Force!

It was baffling how the lance had broken. This could only have meant that the other party’s Ability X had corrosion-like effects. If not, he couldn’t have broken the lance. Following the skillful manipulating of Ability X upon reaching Earth rank, there would always be some small experiences gained, which would permeate into the battle details.

This type of ability could be used in the midst of a fatal attack, but instead he had used it to break Achilles’ weapon.

“Does this fellow want to take Achilles as a sacrificial chess piece?” Zhang Shan had seen through it.

Lie Xin’s legs switched positions. She was utterly soul-stirringly sexy, wearing only a tiny red singlet. It was accurate to say that one hundred percent of the men present had all glanced at her. However, at this moment, Lie Xin’s face held an additional ridiculing cold smile. She knew, Achilles and her had been taken as just passerbys.

It was not a problem of being shrouded under Wang Zheng’s radiance, it was also because they had performed badly at the qualifying rounds. The past Solar System genius generation’s radiance had fallen back, and the only thing left was probably their pride.

During the qualifying rounds, it was because the two of them were unlucky enough to be surrounded. One has to admit that sometimes, luck was very important. The reason why Zhang Shan could run away at the start was also because Achilles and Lie Xin had attracted the attention of quite a number of people. Achilles and Lie Xin had chosen to open up their energy shields and admit defeat for the sake of the official competition after. If the two of them were heavily injured, even if they managed to escape, the official competition would be done for as nobody knew the qualifying rounds would end in advance at that time. The education that two of them had received from their families since young, and their judgement, led them to believe that admitting defeat was the best choice, and at the same time, they believed that Wang Zheng could turn the tide. Since Wang Zheng had made such actions, he had definitely prepared to take responsibility. The two of them had to preserve their abilities for the official competition. If the two of them were to be heavily injured, then Saruman Snake would have no one to use.

And such a decision was undoubtedly rational and cool-headed, but the outside world was not concerned of the process. As a result, the two were seen as far worse than Zhang Shan and Mu Zhen, basically treating them as burdens.

Satie shouldered the axes and laughed out. “Admit defeat. My killing desire leaves people with psychological trauma.”

Achilles threw away the two sections of the lance in his hand. Such a feeling really was not so good. The Doyle family had experienced two generations of glory. Although ultimately reaching a peak, all generations had king-like existences. Passing down to him, he was actually being looked down upon by a Manalasuo person.

“If you can hit me, then it will be counted as your win!” Achilles said.

Satie was stupefied. Did his ears have issues?

Everyone in the hall was also stunned. This person wanted to act dumb at such a time? It was said that the Earthlings had inferiorities and were conceited, the people from the Moon were fragile and prideful, Martians were barbaric and arrogant. The three disgraces of the Solar System fully demonstrated humans’ inferiority. The majority of the spectators were Aslan people, and Aslan people were best at analysing people. In a second, it became a joke to all of them. Although Aslan people did not like the people of Manalasuo, they disliked the weak even more.
