Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
To Hong Dali, the results of the compet.i.tion were unimportant.
He was only interested in the entertainment aspect of it. After all, a super prodigal should be thinking about how he could squander happily and not risk his life to attain a meaningless position.
However, things were often like that. You did not care about such things, but precisely because you were too outstanding, it was easy to attract the attention of many people.
Hong Dali"s situation was like this now. He did not wish to get involved in the affairs of the world, but there were legends about him in the world. Trees longed for peace, but the winds would not cease. That probably summed up his current situation.
No matter what, now that they had gotten into the top 100, Hong Dali"s reputation for not killing people had been taken note of by countless people. It was not just the audience, even many of the partic.i.p.ating teams knew that there was a strange team that was determined not to kill anyone and instead chose to hide.
It was not clear how strong Team Dali was, but countless people were looking forward to seeing what would happen when Team Dali met Team Annihilation.
Time pa.s.sed quickly, and the ten-minute break time was soon over.
The next battle was the most brutal one. The advancement of 10 out of 100!
“All contestants, please get ready. You will be teleported in one minute,” said the system"s voice, reminding everyone to make their final preparations. “Next, the compet.i.tion to advance 10 out of 100, the field diameter is 500 kilometers, all stats will be reset after mechas are teleported to the arena and the kill count will be cleared. The countdown starts now. 30… 29… 28… 27… 10… 9… 8… 3… 2… 1… 0!”
Woos.h.!.+
As the voice of the system finished counting down, all 100 contestants were teleported into an area!
Even Team Dali, which was inside the mouth of the Seven-Colored Dragon King d.y.k.e were teleported over. This time, people finally got to see what Team Dali looked like!
“Look, look! Do those mechas belong to Team Dali? They look really cool!”
“Yes, their mechas look very powerful too, definitely not inferior to Team Annihilation! This round is going to be exciting!”
“Do you think Team Dali can get into the final round? I think it"s very likely!”
“It"s hard to predict. A team that has not killed anyone else yet, who knows what their strength is?
“That"s true. Sigh, it seems it will be hard to see Team Dali going up against Team Annihilation, right?”
The audience was rife with discussion and the Galaxy Aristocrats were also wound tight.
At this time, in a special VIP room within the arena, Li Hanhong and Sir Malone sat on a sofa as they looked carefully at a giant holographic projection. After all, it was the advancement of 10 out of 100. This was a battle worthy of their attention.
The previous battles were just a warm-up to someone like Sir Malone. He was naturally not interested in them.
“Hehe, this time it looks like it might get a little interesting.” Malone touched his chin, looked at the holographic projection, then smiled and said, “Your son should not have any problem getting into the top ten. We are just looking to see which will be the other teams to enter the top ten.”
“The other team should be the second team, Team Magic Armor G.o.dly Mechas.” Li Hanhong said disdainfully, “The captain Feng Wuhen has never been a match for my son. He has been fighting with my son for so many years, and he has never won.” He was talking about his own son, after all. He would obviously not mention the time when he was completely beaten on Jiang Qianxue"s Glorious Planet…
“Well, it looks like a predestined duel then, haha.” Sir Malone smiled, and then said, “Well, the match has started. Let"s take a look at your son"s battle ability, see how he performs.”
“Ten out of hundred, at this level of battle, you have to be careful.” Li Tianxing looked around, his expression veiled. As the number one genius among the younger generation Galaxy Aristocrats, Li Tianxing was not one who would lose his composure and act arrogantly before it was time.
Contestant: Li Tianxing, Team: Team Annihilation, Current Kills: 0.
“Well, let"s see who we meet first.” At this time, Li Tianxing was no longer in a rush to meet Hong Dali. Revenge was sweet, but the compet.i.tion was more important. There was no need to take that kind of risk for the sake of Hong Dali—it would not be a laughing matter in a battle of this caliber if he got surrounded and attacked by others while looking for Hong Dali.
“Speaking of which, when that group of people besieged me before, the second and third teams did not make any moves.” Li Tianxing steadied his gaze, thinking. “Looks like they are planning to fight against me and by doing that, attract the attention of Sir Malone. Hehe, okay, since that is the case, I will fulfill your wis.h.!.+”
With this thought, Li Tianxing directed his Mecha Spirit Emperor, and his radar swept out like a storm, deep scanning everything within a 100-km radius.
“Eh? Three people?” He quickly found a target, and Li Tianxing rushed toward them without hesitation. He was able to perfectly control Spirit Emperor and utilized it to its full potential. Next, a few red beams shot out.
“It"s Li Tianxing!””Run!”
As the sounds of confusion rose, the three people immediately tried to escape. But Li Tianxing"s Spirit Emperor was so powerful the three were killed on the spot before they could escape.
Contestant: Li Tianxing, Team: Team Annihilation, Current Kills: 3.
“Hehe, this level of battle is too weak.” Li Tianxing controlled Spirit Emperor and silently walked through the battleground, surrounded by fallen mecha bodies.
In just a short while, Li Tianxing had already killed seven people. The other four members of his team killed nine.
“Who will be the next prey?” Li Tianxing walked quietly and suddenly stopped because five red dots were displayed on his mecha"s radar! This made Li Tianxing"s cold expression became even colder. “Five people again, just right!” At this time, it was clear that those who were still surviving were strong. Li Tianxing was excited. “I hope the next battle can satisfy me!”
Soon, Li Tianxing saw the five mechas.
Upon seeing them, Li Tianxing immediately laughed!
“I thought who it was, turns out it"s Team Salf Alliance. Have you been waiting for me?” Li Tianxing laughed as he looked at the five mechas in front of him. They were five very beautiful mechas, all exuding s.h.i.+mmery golden light. Right now, those five mechas were standing close together, facing him.
Since the goal was to get first place, Li Tianxing had naturally read in detail the information on Team Salf Alliance led by Moncasio.
All five mecha pilots in the Team Salf Alliance were masters at combat, and they were shocking adept at evasion!
After all, the fact that they were able to reach this point of the compet.i.tion and be in third place, no less, was an indication of their strength. For a pure attack mecha, the effort required to be able to get the third highest number of kills was substantially higher than the effort required by a regular mecha!
It was no exaggeration to say that if there were no mechas with unfair advantages like the Spirit Emperor, Team Salf Alliance had a high chance of becoming the champion! Even now, when engaging them, Li Tianxing did not dare to be careless.
“You are here.” One of the leaders of the Team Salf Alliance stepped forward and growled. “Li Tianxing!”
“Hey, Moncasio.” Li Tianxing"s lips parted, grinning cruelly. “You have never been my match since we were young. Are you hoping to change your luck by challenging me this time?”
The top three teams in this compet.i.tion finally met in this battle to advance 10 out of 100. Although they were already competing before, they knew that they could only attract Sir Malone"s attention if they fought in a battle where there were only a few of them.
After all, the battle where 100 advanced out of 1000 had too many players and Sir Malone might not watch that battle. However, he would definitely watch the battle to advance 10 out of 100!
“I don"t know if my luck will change.” Moncasio stared at Li Tianxing. “But there will be a battle sooner or later, and I would also like to see how strong your so-called invincible mecha is!”
“No problem.” Li Tianxing nodded. “The three hundred or so pieces of sc.r.a.p metal that had besieged me earlier did not cause much damage. However, I know your mecha is quite powerful. You can try.”
“Haha, okay!” Moncasio immediately prepared to attack. “Then let me see what my Team Salf Alliance can do against your Spirit Emperor!”
In the arena, the two sides faced each other at a distance.
“Bang!” The five members of Team Salf Alliance simultaneously put on a burst of speed and dashed toward five different directions. The entire ground cracked and in an instant, all five of them had taken up positions around Li Tianxing, surrounding him!
“That"s interesting, come on.” Li Tianxing sneered. “Let me see if your attacks are strong enough!”
“Attack!” Moncasio went first, and the other four rushed forward too. In a flash, they skillfully executed all of their most powerful fighting techniques!
Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!
The sounds of countless mecha fists striking armor were heard. The five people in Moncasio"s team worked seamlessly together. After all, Li Tianxing was alone and it was a little difficult for him to deal with the attacks. However, he did not panic at all!
“Haha, you are indeed patient.” Li Tianxing laughed. He waved his arm to protect some vital parts and said, “Unfortunately, an attack of this magnitude is ineffective on me!”
“Your mecha is very powerful.” After a round of attacks, Moncasio looked at the rapidly self-repairing fuselage of the Spirit Emperor and said in a low voice, “No wonder everyone says you will be the champion of this compet.i.tion. Just your by mecha alone, you are indeed worthy of that claim.”
Spirit Emperor was too strong. This was an undeniable fact.
“However, to be able to get here, to have the guts to challenge you,” Moncasio smiled suddenly, “I cannot possibly only be capable of this!”
